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

At this moment, Yu Zhenzi realized the seriousness of the situation and felt a great sense of foreboding, knowing that he had kicked a hornet's nest.

Seeing that Shan Tianxie was expressionless, he quickly changed his tone and pleaded, "I am one of the Nine Thousand Years Old's men, escorting him to Fengyang to guard the tomb!"

"Wei Zhongxian? So what? Remember to speak properly in your next life!"

Dan Tianxie responded coldly, saying that if he still held power, he would have turned around and left without saying a word.

Now, a disgraced nobleman can't scare him.

Without further ado, he pushed the Star Absorbing Technique to its limit, and the suction force suddenly increased. Yu Zhenzi was drawn to him, and in a short while, all his true energy was drained.

Immediately following, a palm strike landed, releasing a slight burst of energy, and Yu Zhenzi died instantly.

"Huh? How come this mid-stage Innate Realm cultivator is so weak?"

Dan Tianxie was a little puzzled. Yu Zhenzi said that he had innate true qi, but the quality and quantity of true qi were about the same as Fei Bin's. Now Wei Zhongxian was in such a bad situation.

However, he quickly put the question out of his mind and turned to Zhou Wuse, giving him an instruction.

"Brother Zhou, let's find a place to cremate him. The rest of you come in with me and see this famous Ninth Prince!"

After giving his instructions, Shan Tianxie led the way toward the inn. He had no interest in Wei Zhongxian, but he was very interested in Wei Zhongxian's wealth!

Although the new force is still in its embryonic stage, it's always good to save up more money.

Xi Yu and the other disciples of Bliss followed closely behind. Then, the sounds of fighting came from the inn, even though Wei Zhongxian had brought his elite soldiers.

However, an unorganized army is still slightly weaker than martial arts practitioners. Even if these warriors fight with all their might, it is like throwing an egg against a rock.

In just a short while, the inn was littered with corpses.

Dan Tianxie, with a light drizzle in his eyes, stepped directly into the door of the number one room in the Heavenly Palace.

Stepping inside, Shan Tianxie carefully examined the room by candlelight.

Before them stood a gaunt old man dressed in white, his face gloomy as he stared intently at the two intruders.

He had already heard the shouts of battle outside, but there was no sign of tension on his face.

In contrast, his pageboy was already terrified and stood frozen in place.

"sit!"

Wei Zhongxian broke the silence first, pointing to the chair next to him.

Without any hesitation, Shan Tianxie sat down with an air of nonchalance, which was more in line with his image of Wei Zhongxian.

Even a pig should have this kind of magnanimity if it has been in power for several years.

"Not the Emperor's man, nor Zhao Jingzhong's man, that's quite a strange thing."

Why can't I be?

Dan Tianxie raised an eyebrow. This kind of riddle-solving person is really annoying, as if everything is within his expectations.

"Hahaha, I know all about the filial sons and virtuous grandsons under Wei during his eight years in power."

Wei Zhongxian burst into laughter, almost to the point of fainting, before continuing, "Take this little pageboy beside me, for example. He's been with me for several years, but from the moment he entered the manor, we know perfectly well whose man he is! You can see the knife in his sleeve is already prepared."

Wei Zhongxian turned to look at the page, his face full of inscrutable intent. "Why haven't you made a move yet? Are you afraid?"

The pageboy's expression changed instantly. He hadn't expected that Wei Zhongxian had seen through his identity all along, and he was no longer the foolish man he had been before.

A fierce glint flashed across his face, and the broken dagger in his sleeve shot straight at Wei Zhongxian!

"Hmm? If you want to kill someone here and now, you'll have to ask me first!"

As Shan Tianxie spoke, he gave a wink.

Xi Yu, who was standing to the side, understood immediately. With a drip, the Bi Shui sword at her waist was drawn and she drew two swords in quick succession, one slicing off a hand and the other beheading the victim.

With a thud, the severed arm, the headless body, and the headless corpse fell to the ground.

"Heh, let's talk now. What do you want to do with me?"

Upon seeing the pageboy dead, Wei Zhongxian turned his gaze to Shan Tianxie.

At the same time, a sense of sorrow welled up in his heart. He thought back to just a while ago when he was the glorious Ninth Prince, with many experts at the Innate and Grandmaster levels under his command.

Now they don't even have a Grandmaster-level guard. If the East and West Depots were still in their hands, they would never have suffered such humiliation!

He regretted not seeing the true nature of the current emperor back then. When the emperor was still a hidden dragon in the abyss, his words were more eloquent than his songs, which is why he did everything he could to help him ascend the throne.

After ascending the throne, he changed his previous cowardly demeanor, displaying the bearing of a powerful ruler, and began to slowly erode his power.

With Cao Zhengchun added to the Eastern Depot's constraints, Huangfu Yao of the Embroidered Uniform Guard also began to openly and secretly disobey orders. By the time he realized it, the tide had already turned!

If I had known, I would have chosen Prince Ning or Prince Nanping!

But right now, the most important thing is to save your own life.

Wei Zhongxian walked to the table and suddenly ripped off a piece of cloth.

Below was a thick stack of silver notes and gleaming gold!

"There are four hundred taels of gold here! And tens of thousands of taels of silver notes, maybe enough to buy my life?"

"That's it? Eunuch Wei, you underestimate yourself too much. I want all your property!"

When Shan Tianxie heard the price Wei Zhongxian quoted, he couldn't help but laugh out loud, something he wouldn't normally do.

I just didn't expect Wei Zhongxian to be so funny. You were a powerful figure who held sway over the court for years and was known as the "Nine Thousand Years Old".

You actually think you can buy your life with this little bit of money? To be honest, the Hua family is much more generous than you!

Sorry, I want them all!

"What a huge appetite! Aren't you afraid my filial sons and grandsons will seek revenge?"

Wei Zhongxian's tone turned cold. This young man has quite the appetite.

Dan Tianxie's lips curled slightly, a half-smile playing on his lips, as he pointed to the pageboy's corpse.

"Your filial sons and grandsons are afraid you won't die quickly enough, or thoroughly enough! They even want to avenge you? Dream on!"

Wei Zhongxian's expression changed; it was truly a case of a tiger fallen into the plains being bullied by dogs!

Normally, anyone who dared to speak to him like that would have their entire family wiped out!

However, after much deliberation, I realized that no amount of wealth could compare to the importance of one's own life.

Is the most painful thing in life to still have money but be dead? But it's also very painful to be alive but lose money.

This is exactly how Wei Zhongxian feels right now.

Just as Wei Zhongxian was about to agree.

Suddenly, a series of urgent sounds came from downstairs.

"The Embroidered Uniform Guard is conducting an investigation! Who are you? How dare you obstruct us!"

Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie's lips curled into a playful smile. He turned to Wei Zhongxian and said, "Let's go, shall we go see him? Maybe he's here to rescue you?"

But Wei Zhongxian knew in his heart that, given his current status, many people were probably hoping he would never reach Nanjing.

As the group left the room, the sounds from downstairs became increasingly clear.

"Who are you, daring to obstruct the official business of the Embroidered Uniform Guard here?"

It turned out to be the same three Imperial Guards from the dilapidated temple earlier, now surrounded by Zhou Wuse and the disciples of the Bliss Valley. All three drew their swords and looked tense.

Upon seeing the three men's appearances and their attire, Shan Tianxie couldn't help but smile, already knowing their identities.

They are Lu Jianxing, who wants to become a centurion; Shen Lian, who persuades people to reform; and Jin Yichuan, who impersonates him!

The three were equally outstanding, like the Crouching Dragon and the Young Phoenix, and thus they became sworn brothers, addressing each other as brothers in daily life.
