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

The third prince leaned on his blood-dripping longsword with one hand, breathing heavily, his chest heaving like a bellows.

He looked around and saw the ground littered with the corpses that had just been loyally guarding him; the heavy smell of blood was almost tangible.

His stomach churned violently, and he felt as if he was about to vomit.

The fingers gripping the knife handle were so tight that the knuckles were white and bulging, and the fingers were trembling slightly.

Although this wasn't the first time he had killed someone in his life, he had mostly ordered his subordinates to do so in the past.

To personally create such a bloody scene as this is truly unprecedented.

He took a long time to calm down before he could barely suppress the nausea in his throat and slowly turned around.

He forced a smile onto his blood-stained face and looked at Shan Tianxie and Gu Santong, who had been watching coldly from the sidelines.

"Please forgive my poor performance, young master and senior."

His voice was still slightly unsteady as he spoke.

"But this matter is of great importance, so the fewer people who know about it, the better."

These guards are all loyal and righteous men, but unfortunately... to ensure everything goes smoothly, I have no choice but to ask them to go ahead first.

If there were any other way, I would never have come to this!

At this point, a few tears even welled up in his eyes, as if he was truly reluctant to do it.

An actor! A born actor!

Dan Tianxie looked at the scene before him, but simply stood still, his playful smile deepening.

This third prince was indeed born into an imperial family; I don't know what other skills he has, but he has certainly mastered the hypocritical ways of the imperial family.

The third prince was shocked to see that despite his energetic performance, the audience showed no reaction whatsoever.

Feeling anxious, he couldn't care less about continuing the act of deep affection between master and servant.

He dropped his blood-stained longsword, the blade clattering to the ground, and then bowed deeply to Shan Tianxie, his tone urgent:

"I wonder how you intend to help me, young master? Please enlighten me!"

He had nowhere to retreat, and what he needed most at this moment was to know the mysterious young master's next plan.

"I know Your Highness is in a hurry."

Dan Tianxie chuckled, appearing even more composed. "But don't rush. I have a brilliant plan."

Seeing that the third prince had no intention of continuing the performance, he suddenly became interested.

He raised his right hand and stroked a non-existent beard, looking calm, collected, and confident.

He sighed inwardly, regretting that he was missing a feather fan; otherwise, he would have been a young version of Prime Minister Zhuge Liang!

However, seeing the Third Prince's constipated expression, as if he was about to ejaculate at any moment.

Dan Tianxie also knew that if he didn't reveal some substantial information today, the Third Prince would probably start overthinking things, which would affect the plan and be counterproductive.

However, seeing the Third Prince's constipated expression, Shan Tianxie knew that he probably had to reveal some real substance today.

So he asked in a slow voice, "In your opinion, between the eldest prince and the second prince, who is stronger?"

"Well, naturally it's the eldest brother."

Although the Third Prince did not understand the significance of Shan Tianxie's question, he still answered honestly.

"What are the advantages of the eldest prince?"

"My eldest brother is the legitimate son of the Empress, and his status is rightful. He has the support of senior officials in the court, and the Giant Whale Gang provides him with money and manpower to protect him. He has both money and manpower, making him the most powerful figure."

"If I were to tell you,"

Dan Tianxie's voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear: "Is the Giant Whale Gang willing to switch sides and support you?"

"what?!"

The third prince was struck dumb upon hearing this, his face filled with disbelief. "This...how is this possible!"

You must know that the Giant Whale Gang is the foundation that the eldest brother has built up over many years, with the goal of helping him ascend to the throne. How could they easily turn against him?

If they were to turn against him and support him, he would rather believe that his father-in-law was killed by this young master before him—

Hahaha, but how could that be possible... it's all a pipe dream.

Seeing this, Shan Tianxie suppressed his smile and said with an iron-like tone, "I can tell Your Highness clearly that the Giant Whale Gang is mine now."

The Third Prince's pupils contracted sharply. He looked at Shan Tianxie's serious expression and his heart skipped a beat.

If what the other party said was true, then it was a huge surprise for him.

Thinking of this, the doubt in the third prince's eyes was instantly replaced by burning greed and ambition.

"If that's truly the case! Young master, I will never forget your great kindness! If we could receive assistance from the Giant Whale Gang... Brother..."

"—The advantage remains."

Dan Tianxie bluntly interrupted his reverie, then continued his analysis.

"The support from the Whale Gang has only opened a crack for you, barely qualifying you to sit at the table and compete, but it is far from guaranteeing victory."

Don't forget, your eldest brother has the status of a legitimate son and deep roots in the court; your second brother is backed by the intricately connected Han Hai family, whose power is unfathomable. And you…

He paused, his gaze sharp as a knife, piercing the third prince.

"I have nothing but myself."

Upon hearing this, the third prince felt as if he had been doused with cold water, and he calmed down a bit, but the fire of ambition in his eyes did not go out; instead, it burned even more intensely.

"Your teachings are wise. I was indeed rash. From now on, I will follow your plans without question!"

"With Your Highness having this awareness, the throne is probably not far off."

Dan Tianxie nodded, then looked at the Third Prince's appearance and gave him a reminder.

"Your Highness, why don't you go back to the palace and change your clothes first? I will come to pick you up tonight."

"pick me up?"

The third prince was taken aback upon hearing this, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind in an instant. "Where are we going?"

"where to?"

Dan Tianxie chuckled lightly, but the information in his words was terrifying.

"Naturally, we should go to where we belong—the Han Hai Royal Palace!"

Dan Tianxie's words were like thunderclaps, exploding in the Third Prince's ears, making him dizzy and almost unable to stand.

"The...Hanhai Royal Palace?!"

He gasped in shock, his voice shrill and distorted with extreme shock and fear.

"Tonight?! Young master, this...this is a bit too much..."

The third prince never expected that the other party would be so direct, heading straight for the palace.

"Too much what?"

Dan Tianxie interrupted him, his tone still calm, "Too hasty? Too risky? Or too... direct?"

The third prince's Adam's apple bobbed as he swallowed with difficulty, feeling a dry, bitter taste in his mouth.

He glanced around at the still-warm corpses, his voice trembling: "Father... Father is still ill, but the palace is heavily guarded, and the defenses have not been relaxed in the slightest! If we go like this, what difference is there between us and walking into a trap? My lord, shouldn't we reconsider..."

"Long-term plan?"

Dan Tianxie scoffed, "I've always played the blitzkrieg game!"
