Last time he said: Wan Tianba used Li Qingshuang to force Du Shaoyang to go to the Gate of Death to meet him.

Under the lead of the Deathland Disciple, Du Shaoyang arrived at the Deathland Gate's chief rudder. There were several iron gates that were tightly shut around the house. To the left was an alley, but there were no peddlers inside, and it seemed to also be a death gate's territory. There was a signboard at the entrance, and on it were three eerie words written in red: "Death gate". Although he couldn't see inside from the outside, standing at the door, Du Shaoyang felt an indescribable sense of strangeness. The Deathly Disciples approached and whispered a few words to the two guards, who nodded and stood aside. The dead disciple said, "Young Master Du, please!" He slowly pushed open the iron gate, and the unease in Du Shaoyang's heart grew stronger. However, for the sake of Li Qingshuang's safety, even if he was on the verge of death, he still had to charge through.

After Du Shaoyang walked through the door, the disciples closed it and left a message, "Young Master Du, we can only walk forward through the door of death, there is no way out. Our Young Hall Master is waiting for you inside!" Du Shaoyang rubbed the roots of his ears and observed the surrounding terrain. In this place, beautiful things like flowers, plants, bamboo leaves, and other things gave off a sinister and terrifying feeling. Directly in front of him was a building that looked like a pavilion, but also like a house. The three paths leading to the back were blocked by walls, concealing a boundless killing intent. The air was filled with a threatening killing intent. Du Shaoyang's eyes scanned through every nook and cranny as he took his first step. Du Shaoyang walked slowly and thought, why didn't the enemy appear? Which path was the right one? Suddenly, a mechanism popped out from the building in the middle. Countless silver needles flew out, each of them coated with poison. Du Shaoyang took out the Dust Sealing Sword and borrowed the force from the 'Sword Sack' to knock down the poisonous needles. If he was a little slower or was accidentally stabbed by a poisonous needle, he would undoubtedly die.

Du Shaoyang, with the sword in his right hand, picked up a pebble from the ground and held it in his left hand. Subconsciously, he walked towards the iron gate on the left, in case there was a trap behind the gate. There were seven more doors inside, and it seemed that the right people had to be chosen in order to get to the next checkpoint. If they chose the wrong one, there was a high chance that their lives would be in danger. These seven doors were all inlaid with metal plates, with the words "Door", "Death", "Proficient in", "Earth", "Break", "Person" and "Death" written on them. Du Shaoyang walked up to the door on his right, and upon discovering that the engraved metal plates could actually move, removed them. He thought to himself: "Could it be that there is some mystery behind this? I must carefully ponder over it." He carefully observed the seven doors. His right index finger tapped on his temple inadvertently and his brow furrowed. The simpler the better, he detested complicated matters. After a while, a flash of inspiration passed through his mind, and Du Shaoyang said happily, "So that's how it is. I understand now, but, what is still missing?" Du Shaoyang walked around two more times, but he still didn't find what he was looking for. At this moment, he had mixed feelings, and from the corner of his eyes, he saw a small word engraved on the door. Du Shaoyang nodded his head in satisfaction. He removed the small metal plates carved on the seven doors, and then reassembled them in a clockwise fashion. After the work was done, the seventh door looked in a clockwise direction and formed a single sentence: Whoever trespasses the door will die. Du Shaoyang let out a sigh. Suddenly, the wall between the two doors in front of him disappeared and a door with the name "Enter" appeared. Du Shaoyang couldn't help but exclaim: "I never thought that there would be so many traps.

After Du Shaoyang entered the 'entry' door, the metal door automatically closed. At this moment, he saw a small pond. The water in the pond was abnormally clear and there were two small flat bridges built on the water. They were located on both sides of the pond. The center of the small pond water was filled with purple petals from the "Heavenly Heart Begonia". In the middle of each small flat bridge was a small cauldron that was burning sandalwood, exuding a faint fragrance. Behind the small flat bridge was a small pavilion, and after passing through the small pavilion, there were two small paths that seemed to lead to the backyard.

Wan Tianba seemed to already know of Du Shaoyang's arrival as he walked out from a small path behind the pavilion and sat down on the pavilion's stone bench. He placed the jug of wine in his hand on the table and sneered at Du Shaoyang, then suddenly shouted, "Brother Du, since you're here, why are you still standing there? In fact, Wan Tianba thought to himself, "Hmph, aren't you a martial arts master? If you have the ability, come here from the water with a dragonfly touching the water. The swords and spears in the water don't have eyes, they will definitely kill you without a burial ground."

Du Shaoyang saw the strange look on Wan Tianxiong's face and guessed that he was going to be at a disadvantage. However, if he didn't come into direct contact with him, he wouldn't be able to save Glaucous, so he could only reply: "I'll let Young Master Wan wait for a long time. I'll leave now." Du Shaoyang didn't use his lightness techniques to point over. Instead, he stepped onto the small stone bridge to his right and slowly walked over. On the stone bridge, he could smell the fragrance of the Heavenly Heart Flower. He knew that the flower was harmless, so he relaxed his guard a little. Wan Tianba saw Ye Zichen walk over. Although he still had the same expression on his face, he thought to himself: You can consider yourself lucky, but my Death Gate does more than that. Hmph, I'll show you later. As he walked, Du Shaoyang also pondered, 'I have to be more careful not to fall into his way.'

Du Shaoyang walked into the pavilion and sat down. He straightforwardly asked, "Young Master Wan, may I ask where Glaucous is now?" Wan Tianba poured two cups of wine and smiled, "Brother Du, please don't be impatient. Come have a drink with me first." Du Shaoyang picked up the wine cup and did not drink it. Wan Tianba sneered at him and said, "Brother Du, you were afraid that I would poison the wine. Haha, alright, in order to prove that this wine is not poisonous, I will do it as a sign of respect." Wan Tianba drank it all in one gulp, turned the wine cup upside down, and indicated that he had drunk it all. Seeing that Li Yao was fine and not carrying his Demon Soul Saber, Du Shaoyang drank the wine in his hand with relief. Wan Tianba applauded and said: "Brother Du is straightforward indeed! Let's have another drink. " Du Shaoyang's brows slightly creased. He toasted another cup of wine and asked: "Young Hall Master, what is the burning incense in the cauldron?" Wan Tianba looked at Qingyan and said: "Brother Du, did you think that it was the incense? "Haha, that's just a superior 'Qilin sandalwood'. Not only is it harmless to human bodies, it also has the effect of calming one's breathing." Du Shaoyang put down the cup and asked, "Young Master Wan, we've already drunk three cups of wine. Can you tell us the purpose of your visit?" Wan Tianba moved the jar of wine away and suddenly bowed: "Actually, I invited Brother Du here because I have a request. I wonder if Brother Du can agree to it? If you agree, I will immediately bring you and Miss Li out of this place safely. " Du Shaoyang thought with doubt, "Wan Tianba has powerful martial arts and the Death Gate is so powerful, why would he need my help?" What was he thinking? Du Shaoyang said: "I don't know what difficulties Young Master Wan has, but feel free to tell me. If I can do my best, I will definitely help!" Wan Tianxiong: "En, good, I want to ask Brother Du …"

What about later?

And then we'll see how it breaks down in the next round.
