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

As the group was traveling, a loud bang suddenly came from the sky!

The group of people, including Shan Tianxie, were quite startled. Xi Yu was alright, but the group from Bliss Valley were the ones who threw out too many Thunderfire Bombs.

This has led to a situation where, upon suddenly hearing a loud bang, people instinctively assume it's an attack.

"Young Master, it looks like it's going to rain? There's been so much rain this time of year."

Zhou Wuse couldn't help but complain, then his eyes lit up and he pointed into the distance, "Coincidentally, there seems to be a place ahead where we can take shelter from the rain."

He took the lead and ran towards the building in the distance, with Shan Tianxie and the others following closely behind.

When the group got closer, they discovered that it was a dilapidated temple.

"Huh? What a coincidence?"

The moment Shan Tianxie saw the dilapidated temple, he felt a jolt in his brow; this was no simple matter.

Is this right? Absolutely not!

Rainy day, a dilapidated temple, and his own identity—it would be a shame if something didn't happen with this combination.

Is it dangerous? I'm not going, thank you for the invitation!

Then Shan Tianxie said, "Brother Zhou, the ancients often said that it is better to stay in a deserted grave than a deserted temple. This dilapidated temple is not a good place either. Why don't we walk further ahead and see if there is an inn?"

"Alright, young master has spoken, let's speed things up!"

Although Zhou Wuse had some questions, he had to obey his young master's orders without question.

He led the group and ran wildly into the distance, hoping to find a town before the rain started.

After Shan Tianxie and his group left, a long while later...

Three figures slowly emerged from a hidden spot in the dilapidated temple.

The three men were dressed in clothes with four-clawed flying fish patterns and wore embroidered spring knives at their waists.

It was none other than the Embroidered Uniform Guard, one of the most powerful and violent institutions of the Ming Dynasty!

"Ahem, Big Brother and his men have left."

The person speaking had delicate features, but his face was rather pale, and he coughed every now and then, looking quite sickly.

"Yichuan, the three of us brothers have a mission this time. Once we've rested enough, let's continue on our way. Cheer up, we should be getting closer to our target."

The oldest of them, tall and thin, had a solemn expression and spoke to the coughing man.

"Brother is right, but I've always felt something is off about this mission. Why did Eunuch Zhao send the three of us brothers to deal with such a person?"

Even a starved camel is bigger than a horse; do you think we can handle the experts around Eunuch Wei?

The man who spoke was muscular and had a slightly gloomy expression, making it difficult to guess what he was thinking. He had a feeling that this matter was not simple, and to put it bluntly, it was no different from sending someone to their death.

"These brothers are well aware that this mission is fraught with peril, but as Eunuch Zhao also said..."

We can't mobilize any of Wei Zhongxian's grandmaster-level experts right now, except for one innate-level expert, who is also extremely lecherous. If we plan properly, we might have a chance to fight!

The three of us brothers have no money and no connections; all we can rely on is opportunity. If we seize the opportunity, we can turn our lives around!

.........

Meanwhile, Shan Tianxie and his group hurried on their way and finally found a small town in the rain.

It was nearly night, and the town was unusually deserted, as if everything had been swallowed up by the darkness.

"Young Master, there's an inn just ahead. I'll go check it out."

Zhou Wuse pointed to the inn not far away and said.

As Zhou Wuse approached the inn, he frowned slightly. Something was wrong!

Although the inn in front of us was brightly lit, it was unusually quiet, unlike a normal inn.

Could it be a rip-off? That's great, we can double-cross them now.

His gaze swept across the courtyard wall, and he could vaguely see several burly figures dressed in black patrolling the courtyard wall of the inn.

Seeing this, Zhou Wuse felt a chill; this didn't seem like a shady business.

Instead, it looked like a high-ranking official from the imperial court was traveling, and the burly men on patrol looked like they came from military backgrounds just by looking at their posture.

Just as he was about to quietly return and report to Shan Tianxie.

"who?"

Suddenly, a deep voice rang out from inside the inn.

Immediately afterwards, the inn's door burst open with a bang, and a figure darted out like lightning through the rain, heading straight for Zhou Wuse.

The newcomer moved with the lightness of a whirlwind, covering several meters in the blink of an eye before reaching Zhou Wuse.

A palm strike aimed straight at Zhou Wuse's crown. Zhou Wuse's heart tightened, and he quickly gathered his energy in his claw to meet the attack.

With a deafening roar, claws collided.

A hint of surprise flashed in the newcomer's eyes; he hadn't expected Zhou Wuse to be able to withstand that palm strike.

Zhou Wuse's face turned pale, and he secretly thought that something was wrong. It turned out to be a mid-stage Innate Realm expert.

He was already seriously injured, and now that they were fighting, his injuries worsened. He was probably no match for the person in front of him.

He carefully examined the newcomer, noting that the man appeared to be in his forties or fifties, dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, with a crown adorned with translucent white jade.

With a long sword on his back, he looked like a Taoist master, but like Tian Boguang, there was a lewd aura around his eyes!

"From the Embroidered Uniform Guard? Or from the two secret police departments?"

The moment the newcomer engaged in combat, he noticed that Zhou Wuse was injured and, feeling confident of victory, asked casually.

Seeing that Zhou Wuse remained silent for a long time, he was not annoyed, but chuckled.

"Not going to talk? Looks like that's not the case. This Taoist is called Yu Zhenzi. When you get to the King of Hell, don't forget who killed you!"

As he spoke, he channeled all his inner energy, preparing to finish Zhou Wuse off in one fell swoop with a single palm strike.

"stop!"

Just then, a low shout suddenly came from afar.

Yu Zhenzi looked up and saw a large group of people coming through the rain.

The carriages among them were exceptionally luxurious, and for a moment, I couldn't make up my mind.

Dan Tianxie approached Zhou Wuse and, seeing Zhou Wuse's deathly pale face, felt a surge of rage within him.

However, he suppressed his anger, after all, he hadn't yet figured out the strength of the enemy and himself.

So he hurriedly stepped forward to help Zhou Wuse up.

At the same time, while helping Zhou Wuse up, she whispered in his ear, "What's your strength, Brother Zhou?"

Zhou Wuse's lips moved slightly, "Mid-stage of the Innate Realm."

Dan Tianxie felt much more at ease. What are you so arrogant about, a mere mid-stage Innate Realm cultivator? Anyone who didn't know better would think you were a Grandmaster!

His expression immediately turned cold, and his voice was as icy as ice as he asked, "Did you hurt him?"

"It is indeed I, Daoist Master! With such poor martial arts skills, how did you manage to survive in the martial world? Young man, you are ignorant of your own limitations!"

Yu Zhenzi got angry when she heard this.

Since he betrayed the Iron Sword Sect and achieved innate cultivation through the method of replenishing yin and yang, he has been respected wherever he goes.

Especially after he sided with powerful officials in the imperial court, he looked down on everyone else. Now, seeing that Shan Tianxie was still young, his contempt for him only grew stronger.

At most, this young man has a powerful background, but how much real ability does he have? What does he have to fear!

Dan Tianxie chuckled lightly, too lazy to waste words with this person, and simply clenched his fist in the air.

Instantly, an invisible suction force surged from his palm, causing the surrounding air to freeze for a moment, followed by ripples.

Yu Zhenzi felt his true energy surging towards Shan Tianxie like a tide, and he couldn't help but move closer to him.

"No, let's talk this out..."
