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

Within Qixia Town.

"Oh, sir, please come in. Are you here for a meal or to stay the night?"

Bai Zhantang said with a big smile.

The male-female duo in front of us is not a common sight.

But after working as a waiter for several years, he had already received professional training!

No matter how strange the guest group is, he will not laugh.

Dan Tianxie stared at the smiling waiter in front of him and couldn't help but find it amusing.

Who would have thought that this smiling waiter in front of you is a master of lightness skills, ranked among the top ten in the martial arts world, and known as the Saint of Thieves!

After betraying his good brother, he has been living in seclusion at Tongfu Inn, where he is doing quite well. However, Ji Wuming, one of the Five Wanderers of Bliss, must have a lot to talk about with him. He will wait for the opportunity.

Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie's smile widened, making Bai Zhantang's back shiver. He wondered if this guest had homosexual tendencies.

Judging from his clothes, he was clearly a young master from a wealthy family. I had heard quite a few stories about the unusual fetishes of these young masters when I was in the capital.

Dan Tianxie was in a great mood when he remembered that he had already arranged for the escort agency to deliver the silver, and all he had to do was wait for the mission to be completed. He then took out five taels of silver from his pocket and handed it to Bai Zhantang.

"Give me a superior room and a good meal. We're not short of money."

"Alright, sir. But if money's no object, would you like to book one superior room for the two of you?"

"This is my maid, she's to take care of me personally, is there a problem?"

Dan Tianxie raised an eyebrow and smiled, pointing to Xiyu beside him, emphasizing the word "close to her".

After hearing this, Xi Yu remained indifferent, but her aura grew even stronger, giving off an unapproachable vibe. She didn't look like a maid at all.

But Bai Zhantang didn't ask any more questions. It was just a game for rich people; they could do whatever made them happy.

"Alright, look at my mouth! Please come upstairs, sir!"

Bai Zhantang happily accepted the silver, thinking to himself that five taels of silver was not enough for a meal. He would secretly save some for a couple of drinks later. Wouldn't that be wonderful?

Thinking of this, his smile widened, and he quickly led the way.

After he led Shan Tianxie and Xiyu to the guest room on the second floor, as the door closed, the smile on Bai Zhantang's face gradually disappeared, replaced by a solemn expression.

The pairing of this man and woman is truly strange, especially at this crucial juncture, which makes one wonder. His professional habits make him unconsciously observe everyone.

Based on his experience, the woman who claimed to be a maid was clearly a martial artist, exuding a chilling aura and undoubtedly having taken lives! However, her steps were unsteady and unsteady, as if she had just been injured and was not yet healed, so she posed no threat to him.

As for that young master, I couldn't figure out his martial arts style. Although his lightness skill was not as good as mine, the martial arts he practiced should be quite good. The main thing is that his internal energy seemed to be there but not there. He was either injured or he had cultivated some kind of extraordinary skill.

Could it be that they came here specifically for Xiao Guo?

Thinking of this, Bai Zhantang felt a pang of anxiety and immediately turned to find Tong Xiangyu.

"Shopkeeper! Something terrible has happened!"

"What happened to Zhantang? Look how worried you are, you're even sweating."

As Tong Xiangyu spoke, she took a handkerchief and wiped Bai Zhantang's forehead.

"Oh my god, let's get down to business. A man and a woman came into the store, and something feels off. I suspect they might be after Xiao Guo."

Bai Zhantang dodged the shopkeeper's deadly barrage of slaps and hurriedly explained.

"Ah! Is it really Zhan Tang? Is it from the Flying Knife Sect or someone else? How come you got here so fast?"

Tong Xiangyu stared in surprise, her eyes wide, and bombarded Bai Zhantang with a barrage of questions.

About an hour earlier, Constable Xing rushed to Tongfu Inn with shocking bad news.

Because Guo Furong ruined Yang Huilan's martial arts contest to find a husband, Yang Huilan harbored resentment. Impersonating Guo Furong, she picked bandits from nearby Cuiwei Mountain and continuously caused trouble within a radius of 500 li.

Black Wind Mountain, which suffered the most severe losses, somehow obtained 30,000 taels of silver and offered a bounty on assassins to kill Guo Furong.

The three major underworld families, Flying Knife Sect, Five Poisons Sect, and Heavenly Crippled Sect, have accepted the bonus and have respectively dispatched Meili Budajie, the Gold and Silver Elders, and Shangguan Yundun to take Xiao Guo's head. They will arrive as early as tonight or as late as tomorrow night.

At this moment, two people of unknown origin arrived, which made one wonder.

"We still don't know where they came from. A man and a woman? Could it be that the Golden and Silver Elders have become young again?"

"What time is it? You're still joking? What should we do? We need to think of something quickly."

Upon hearing such playful remarks, Tong Xiangyu retorted to Bai Zhantang with a hint of annoyance.

"Let's find a reason to give Xiao Guo a two-month vacation and let her go back to Beijing to avoid the storm. With her father, Guo Juxia, protecting her, there shouldn't be any problems."

Otherwise, if she continues to stay with us, not only will she eventually die, but we're all likely to be implicated.

"Let's go, it's settled then. I'll go find Xiao Guo with you." Tong Xiangyu nodded, and the two walked towards the kitchen as they talked.

Not long after.

"Da da da"

Suddenly, there was a knock on Shan Tianxie and Xiyu's door, and at the same time, a woman's voice came from inside.

"Sir, your meal is ready."

As drizzling, she got up and opened the door, where Guo Furong was standing.

Guo Furong had a fake smile on her face, which made Xi Yu feel a little strange. She wondered if this person was not thinking straight, but she didn't think too much about it.

With a cold expression, Xi Yu said, "Give me the food."

"Alright, sir, please eat it while it's hot, it won't taste good when it's cold."

Guo Furong smiled and agreed, then walked out of the room and closed the door behind her.

Xi Yu took the food and placed it on the table.

Dan Tianxie stared at the steaming food, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Did Guo Furong send these dishes?

"Interesting," he smiled and reached for his chopsticks to pick up some food.

Just then, Xi Yu suddenly waved her hand, blocking his chopsticks.

"Haven't you noticed something strange about this inn?"

That waiter's lightness skill was so superb, it was rare even in the martial arts world. How could he be working in this small inn? And the food, the smiles of the people serving the dishes looked so fake, something didn't seem right to me either.”

As Xi Yu stepped forward, she gently waved her right hand, and the aroma of the food wafted into her nostrils.

"This smell... it's sleeping potion!" She frowned, but turned to look at Shan Tianxie and said, "The method of administering the drug is really crude? You're lucky, luckily none of us are good people either."

"However, the people of Bliss Valley have such poor vigilance."

Xi Yu looked at Shan Tianxie with a smile, a hint of mockery in her eyes.

As Shan Tianxie listened to Xi Yu's words, the smile on his lips deepened; "I'm very happy that you took the initiative to remind me, otherwise, it would be too much of a pity to destroy such a beautiful flower."

"This is...your test?" Xi Yu's heart was in turmoil. The man's meticulousness was chilling.

Dan Tianxie nonchalantly picked up the fallen chopsticks. What Xiyu thought of him was her business. But what exactly did this group of people from Tongfu Inn want to do?

He was quite interested; could it be that he misunderstood and came for Guo Furong?

"How about we turn the tables on them and see what they're up to?"

"boring."

By this time, Xi Yu had also recovered her composure and said calmly.

Despite saying that, being under someone else's roof, they still obediently cooperated with Shan Tianxie's plan and decided to turn the tables on him to see what these people were up to.

The two followed the plan, dumping some of the food out the window, then lying on the table pretending to be asleep, their snoring gradually rising.

After a short while, the door was quietly pushed open, and Bai Zhantang tiptoed in. He saw that the two of them were lying on the table, seemingly unconscious, and the food had obviously been disturbed.

He quietly gave an OK sign to the door, and Guo Furong and Tong Xiangyu followed him in.

Seeing the two slumped over the table, fast asleep, the three of them breathed a sigh of relief.

"That's it? These two don't seem like seasoned veterans. Xiao Guo and Zhan Tang don't look like bad guys, especially this young master, he's quite handsome."

Looking at Shan Tianxie's appearance, Tong Xiangyu's instinct to judge by appearance kicked in instantly, and she said in a daze.

"Shopkeeper! This concerns my life! I'd rather kill the innocent than let the guilty go free. Tie her up and we'll interrogate her later!" Guo Furong said through gritted teeth when she saw Tong Xiangyu about to swoon.

“I disagree. If there’s a misunderstanding, wouldn’t this just create another enemy? The reason our Longmen Escort Agency has grown so big is because we have many friends and few enemies. What do you think, Zhantang?” Tong Xiangyu raised her objection at this moment.

"The shopkeeper is right. I wanted to object as soon as Xiao Guo came up with this terrible idea."

When Bai Zhantang heard the shopkeeper say that, he quickly chimed in, saying that he didn't know who was paying him, but he knew very well who was paying his wages.

The two of them had just gone to Guo Furong to discuss the holiday, but Li Dazui interfered, which made Guo Furong stubborn.

He insisted on sharing life and death with the people at the inn, and even advocated striking first by drugging their food with sleeping pills. Tong Xiangyu and Bai Zhantang couldn't stop him, so they had no choice but to come up and see what was going on.

"Stop your whining and nagging! I've already done what I needed to do, so what! Are you going to help or not? What if these two are assassins? Will you help me take them down?"

"This Guo is really joking. How could I possibly fight someone with my skills?"

Upon hearing this, Bai Zhantang awkwardly laughed and waved his hands repeatedly in refusal.

His principle has always been to avoid taking action if possible, and he settled here precisely to retire from the martial arts world.

"That settles it then. Come with me and tie them up first."

Although the rope had been prepared according to plan, Guo Furong's hands still trembled slightly when the moment came.

"Ahem, Lao Bai, why don't you do it? I don't have much experience with this kind of thing."

"You talk as if you have a lot of experience! If Officer Xing hears this, it will be a big deal."

"Aren't you the Thief Saint? I thought you must have a lot of experience with this kind of thing. How dare you call yourself a seasoned veteran?"

"Stop, stop, stop. My main job is moving and transporting, which doesn't require much skill and isn't within my scope of business."

Bai Zhantang quickly interrupted, saying that outsiders had misunderstood the "Master Thief" too much. Thieves are an art, and besides, he always stole something, played with it for a couple of days, and then returned it to the thief.

"Seriously, I'll do it!"

When Guo Furong heard that Lao Bai was unwilling to help, she felt a little helpless, but she couldn't lose face, so she had to muster up her courage and do it herself.

Just as she was thinking of practicing by tying up the woman first, the rope was almost tied around Xi Yu's body.

With a clang, Xi Yu suddenly stood up, drew her sword, and with a raindrop sound, the sword flashed and cleaved the rope in two.

"What do you want? If you don't give me a satisfactory answer today, don't blame me for being impolite."

Xi Yu's face was frosty and filled with murderous intent, the tip of his sword pointing directly at the trio.

Upon seeing that Xi Yu had suddenly woken up, Guo Furong quickly backed away.

Dan Tianxie remained silent on the side, and Xi Yu was speechless. He was still pretending even now. She really wanted to give him a couple of sword strikes.
