Martial Arts Crossover: Something's Wrong with This Evil Sect

Then, Bai Zhantang recounted the battle that had just taken place to everyone in detail.

Upon hearing this, everyone gained a new understanding of Bliss Valley: they were skilled in martial arts and shameless.

"Old Bai, tell me, what is the strength of that guy from Bliss Valley?"

"When that person first came to the inn, he was just a first-rate expert. In just half a day, he actually opened up his Ren meridian and reached the level of a top expert."

"A top-tier expert? He doesn't look that old, and he's already close to the Innate Realm after opening his Governing Vessel? It's really frustrating to compare yourself to others. Is the martial arts of the Bliss Valley progressing that fast?"

Guo Furong said with an envious look.

After all, she came from a family of martial arts practitioners and had been learning martial arts since childhood. She trained hard in the sweltering heat of winter and the freezing cold of summer, dreaming of mastering martial arts, punishing evil and promoting good, becoming the heroine Guo, and making her father proud. However, her talent was only average, and her progress was slow over the years. Now, she had only reached the second level of her family's martial arts.

She's already twenty-two this year, and still unknown in the entertainment industry. Once she pays off her debts and comes out of retirement, she'll be known as Aunt Furong.

He had previously told his father that he was not suited for the Surging Waves Palm technique and that he would never reach the third level without a fortuitous encounter, but he did not believe it.

As a result, the person from Bliss Valley reached the level of a top master at a young age. How could he not be envious? If he had the strength of his father or godfather, he could make the three major underworld families kneel down and not dare to stand up.

"Old Bai, what do we do next? Just leave these two here."

Tong Xiangyu wasn't interested in martial arts prowess or anything like that; all she wanted to know was what to do next.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper. These two have no internal energy left. Even if I release their pressure points now, it won't matter. I'll send them to the yamen and hand them over to Old Xing as soon as it's light tomorrow."

"This will give Old Xing a chance to earn some credit. They're both assassins, they must have a lot of cases on their hands. We can just take them to the capital and hand them over to the Six Doors. Do you think Master Guo would let the people who killed her daughter go? The aftermath won't concern us much."

Bai Zhantang smiled and said in a cheeky tone.

"Okay, let's do it your way! Hopefully, we can get through the difficulties ahead."

Hearing Bai Zhantang say this, Tong Xiangyu was temporarily relieved, but the thought of the assassin still gave her a terrible headache.

"Don't worry, shopkeeper, everything will be alright, I'm here for you!"

"Zhan Tang, thank goodness for you."

The two began to exchange longing glances, and everyone shivered as they went back to their rooms to rest, leaving only Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang cuddling in the lobby.

After lingering for a while, Tong Xiangyu returned to her room, while Bai Zhantang set up a makeshift bed in the lobby to rest.

There are two advantages to sleeping in the lobby: one is that I can keep an eye on the beautiful sisters, and the other is that I can guard against other experts who might try to ambush me. As the person with the best martial arts skills in the inn, I have an unshirkable responsibility to do so.

Nothing more was said that night, and everyone slept relatively soundly.

The next morning, as soon as Shan Tianxie woke up, he heard Guo Furong's voice.

"Young Master Shan, are you two awake? I've brought you breakfast."

Dan Tianxie bypassed Xiyu, who was sleeping on the floor. Last night, he originally wanted Xiyu to sleep on the bed, but Xiyu refused to comply, making him look like the bad guy!

Everyone knows he is chaste and pure. Countless enchantresses from the Valley of Bliss offered to help him cultivate, but he refused them all. This woman's thoughts are far too filthy!

Dan Tianxie opened the door, looked at Guo Furong holding a tray, and said with a light laugh, "Good morning, Miss Guo. You didn't add anything to it this time, did you?"

Guo Furong gave an awkward smile and said, "How could that be? I came here specifically to apologize. I was too reckless yesterday."

"This pancake and soy milk look good. You've put a lot of thought into it."

"Of course! These are the most famous pancakes and soy milk in Qixia Town. I ran to queue up to buy them for you before dawn, otherwise it wouldn't show my sincerity."

With a wicked grin, Shan Tian took the tray from Guo Furong and placed it on the table.

Actually, he didn't have any particular opinion about Guo Furong. After all, he hadn't suffered any real loss, so he just let it go as a courtesy to Guo Furong. But if it really involved fundamental interests, he would start the banquet that very day and invite Guo Furong to eat with him.

Guo Furong asked happily, "So you've forgiven me?"

“What happened before is in the past. I’m not a petty person.”

Dan Tianxie took a sip of the soy milk. It tasted good, better than the old Beijing-style soy milk.

Hearing this, Xi Yu, who was pretending to be asleep, rolled her eyes but didn't say anything.

"You came to me not just to apologize, right? You're in a good mood now, so speak your mind."

"Does the martial arts in Bliss Valley progress very quickly? Is there any suitable for me? Yesterday I heard Lao Bai say that you are so young and you are almost at the Innate Realm."

Guo Furong took a deep breath and asked everything she wanted to know.

"Is that all? If it were an outsider, I would tell him that there is only one path to martial arts: hard work. But I'm in a good mood today, so I can only say, 'May you be born into a better family.' Geniuses progress by leaps and bounds, their progress is incredibly rapid."

Dan Tianxie smiled, a sly glint in his eyes, and said to Guo Furong.

"So, my slow progress despite my hard work is due to a lack of talent?"

Guo Furong looked dejected after hearing this.

At this moment, Xi Yu couldn't hold back any longer and threw off the covers to stand up.

He was still wearing his clothes. Dan Tianxie narrowed his eyes. What did that mean? Even a gentleman is wary?

Xi Yu didn't notice his gaze, looking directly at Guo Furong, and said firmly, "Don't listen to his nonsense. There aren't that many geniuses in the martial arts world. If we don't have talent, we'll make up for it with hard work!"

"But my father is famous throughout the martial arts world for his 'Surging Wave Palm'! I've practiced it for over ten years, but I still can't break through to the second level. I feel that Young Master Shan's theory of talent is correct."

Guo Furong sighed, a hint of confusion in her eyes.

He had always lived under the protection of his father and senior brothers, thinking that his martial arts skills were enough to make his way in the martial world. But once he entered the martial world, he realized that there were so many geniuses, like carp crossing a river, that he couldn't even beat a cowardly waiter.

"If you practice a martial art diligently but your progress is extremely slow, it may be because the martial art you are practicing is not suitable for you."

I've heard my older brother talk about the "Surging Waves Palm." This skill instantly gathers the body's yang energy, making it extremely powerful, comparable to the Beggars' Sect's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms. It's actually not suitable for women to practice.

Seeing Guo Furong's discouraged expression, Shan Tianxie put away his joking thoughts and slowly shared his insights. He hadn't been idle this year; he had studied many famous martial arts techniques.

Guo Furong seemed to be deep in thought upon hearing this.

Recalling her childhood, she insisted on practicing this family's unique skill, even though her father said it was inappropriate. But she couldn't resist the urge to prove herself, and she spent ten years in this struggle, barely breaking through to the second level.

Now, hearing Shan Tianxie say this, I suddenly realized.

Although she now understood the reason, she still couldn't help feeling down; it seemed like she had never done anything well.

"It's just a martial art. With your family background, as long as you want to learn something else, your father can find you any Earth-rank martial art, even if he doesn't mention a Heaven-rank divine skill. You're much happier than those in the martial arts world who painstakingly cultivate a Yellow-rank internal skill."

"Hey, how do you know I come from a good family?"

Dan Tianxie's lips curled up slightly, his eyes filled with a hint of mockery: "Surging Wave Palm Technique, and you're surnamed Guo, isn't that obvious? Guo the Great Hero is your father, isn't he? If such a family background isn't good, then there are no second-generation martial artists in the entire Ming Dynasty martial arts world."

Upon hearing this, Xi Yuren was stunned. What? The strongest man in the Six Doors of the Ming Dynasty! The famous Guo Juxia! The greatest of heroes? He had just been encouraging him, but now he realized that Guo Juxia's background was far more impressive than that of Hei Shi. He was exhausted and didn't want to advise anyone anymore. The martial arts world was too complicated.

Guo Furong gave Xi Yu an apologetic smile, then asked, "Young Master Shan, do you have any suggestions regarding the martial arts I'm switching to?"

"I see that Miss Guo has a bad temper, which is probably due to a deficiency of Yang energy. Perhaps you could try some Yin-type martial arts to regulate it."

Cheng Kun's Illusionary Yin Finger, the Mixed Yuan Thunderbolt Hand, and Guo Jing's Nine Yin Manual are also good. As for the Blissful Valley, only the Three No's and Three Unsuitable Hands are a suitable match.

Dan Tianxie shared his insights. Although he had only recently reached the peak of his cultivation, his elder brother was a true grandmaster. With the influence of his elder brother and the internal collection of books in the Bliss Valley, he was able to analyze the matter quite accurately.

"Thank you for your guidance, Young Master Shan! Once I've paid off my debts, I'll go home and ask my godfather to teach me the Nine Yin Manual."

Guo Furong said with a happy expression.

From then on, she felt relieved and thought that if she switched to a different martial art, the name of the Heroine Furong might once again resound throughout the martial arts world.

Dan Tianxie thought to himself, "In this world, has Guo Jing become Guo Furong's godfather? How interesting!"

As the three were having a heated discussion, they suddenly heard a commotion coming from the main hall.

“Listen up, Five Poisons Sect members, your big-mouthed grandpa is right here. Bring on whatever tricks you have up your sleeve.”

"That's what you said!"

Immediately afterwards, a buzzing sound grew louder and louder, as if countless wasps were swirling around my ear.

Dan Tianxie frowned and whispered, "Not good, it's the Soul-Chasing Bees of the Five Poisons Sect! The Gold and Silver Elders have arrived."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than countless Soul-Chasing Bees burst through the window. Their sheer number was so great that even a top expert would likely gasp in shock upon seeing them.

Dan Tianxie has taken various elixirs since childhood, making him immune to all poisons and naturally fearless. However, if Xiyu and Guo Furong were bitten, their lives would be in danger.

Dan Tianxie decisively channeled his inner strength, unleashing a series of Ghost King Fists with fierce winds, knocking the Soul-Chasing Bees to the ground.

"What incredible martial arts! This little inn is truly a place where hidden masters reside. But having killed so many of my treasures, you'll pay with your life!"

Just as Xi Yu and Guo Furong were relieved to see the crisis had passed, a furious shout came from outside the door. It turned out that the Jin and Yin elders had abandoned the gossipy Li Dazui and rushed upstairs.
