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

After He Nianqiao finished speaking, he gripped the Golden Snake Sword and stared solemnly at Shan Tianxie and his group.

Although the three had never witnessed their true strength, He Nianqiao understood from He Hongyao's description that they were no ordinary people.

"Who am I? Good question!"

Dan Tianxie pondered for a moment, then smiled slightly. "Wait a minute, I'll make one up for you right away, so you'll know what the professionalism of Bliss Valley is all about."

Under He Nianqiao's wary gaze, Shan Tianxie slowly spoke.

"Back then, due to special circumstances, my ancestor forged a Golden Serpent Sword, twelve Golden Serpent Cones, and a treasure map, which he entrusted to a trusted friend for safekeeping. But who would have thought that as time flew by, my lineage was forced to remain silent for decades. Now that the situation has eased somewhat, I have traveled thousands of miles to retrieve them in accordance with the instructions in the clan's records!"

At this point, Shan Tianxie chuckled and looked at He Nianqiao, "Master He is a smart man. Now, why don't you guess who I am?"

These words were naturally just made up on the spot. As for the origin of the Golden Snake Three Treasures, the original work does not seem to mention much about it.

However, in Shan Tianxie's opinion, based on the treasure map, the most likely possibility is that the founder of the Five Poisons Sect knew the Xu family and had a close relationship with them. This would explain why the Five Poisons Sect had the treasure map that the Xu family had prepared for Emperor Jianwen's restoration!

If He Nianqiao believes it today and is willing to keep his promise and return the Golden Snake Treasures, that would be best. If he doesn't believe it, that's fine too; at most, we can just forcibly take them, though that will inevitably cause some trouble.

Upon hearing this, He Nianqiao's expression changed drastically, his mind racing with thoughts of how such a coincidence could happen!

I had just retrieved the Golden Serpent Sword from the Poison Dragon Cave when I ran into someone from over a hundred years ago who wanted the Golden Serpent Three Treasures.

A sense of doubt inevitably arose in his heart!

On the other hand, it doesn't seem fake, because even within the Five Poisons Sect, very little is known about the Golden Snake Three Treasures.

Even the two elders, Jin and Yin, only had a vague understanding of the matter. They only knew that there were three treasures that protected the sect, but they did not know their origin. If he had not succeeded as the sect leader, he probably would not have been able to understand the secrets behind it.

But is the person in front of me real or fake? If he is, do I really have to return the Golden Snake Sword to him?

"So, young master, you are a descendant of that great figure from back then? You've come here to retrieve the Golden Serpent Treasures?"

After much deliberation, He Nianqiao asked in a low voice.

Dan Tianxie nodded. "That's right, you could say that."

Seeing Shan Tianxie nod in agreement, He Nianqiao chuckled, "There is such a rule in the sect, but what proof do you have, young master? After all, this matter is of great importance, and I cannot easily entrust it to you."

"Proof?" Shan Tianxie shook his head. "There isn't any. We only have some ancient books and scattered records at home."

"In that case, why not wait until you find the evidence before going to the Five Poisons Sect? I will certainly present it to you with open arms then, what do you say?"

He Nianqiao felt a little relieved. No proof? That makes things easier. Come back when you find proof. It's not that I don't want to give it to you, it's just that you lack proof. If word gets out, you can't say that the Five Poisons Sect is untrustworthy, after all, people in Miao territory value credit extremely much.

"What if I wanted to take the Golden Serpent Sword away today?"

Dan Tianxie's voice was somewhat serious. After all, it was all made up, and he certainly wouldn't be able to find any evidence when he got back. Weren't you just making things difficult for me, Dan?

"Hey, young master, that's going too far! My Five Poisons Sect is one of the three major underworld families, surely we wouldn't be short of such a small thing?"

He Nianqiao's face darkened, feeling somewhat displeased. This young man was a bit ungrateful; I had spoken to him so kindly, and he still didn't appreciate it.

Seeing the tense atmosphere, He Hongyao quickly interjected, "Brother, this thing originally belonged to someone else, there's nothing wrong with returning it!"

Upon hearing this, He Nianqiao thought, "You really are your brother's little cotton-padded jacket!" He glared at this heartless little cotton-padded jacket, thinking, "As the saying goes, a married daughter is like water spilled from a cup. How come this daughter is already leaking air before she's even married?"

"Sister, what are you saying! Do you think I don't want to return it? First, you have no proof and it's hard to convince everyone. Second, although I've heard that you are skilled in martial arts, think about how the Golden Snake Three Treasures have never been harmed in my Five Poisons Sect for decades. If we return them and something happens and we lose the treasures, wouldn't that be letting down our ancestors' entrustment?"

"So, Master He, does that mean if we defeat you, it means we are capable of protecting our family heirloom?"

"Uh-huh?"

He Nianqiao's mind raced. Was that what I just meant?

However, looking at his sister's gaze, glancing at the ages of the people opposite him, and then at the gleaming golden snake sword in his hand, he couldn't help but feel a surge of heroic spirit.

With the Golden Serpent Sword in hand, I dare to fight even Qu Yang of the Sun Moon Sect. How could a few juniors possibly defeat me? Besides, if they could beat me with the Golden Serpent Sword, what if we had to fight head-on? It seems even the sect couldn't withstand it.

Poisoning? There was no prior preparation for this.

After much deliberation, He Nianqiao spoke softly, "That's part of the reasoning. After all, I, He, didn't mean to make things difficult for you. Just look at how well you know the Golden Serpent Three Treasures, and how clearly you understand their inner secrets."

"It should indeed be the person mentioned in the rules, but it's uncertain whether the young master and his companions possess the strength to protect the Golden Serpent Treasures."

He Nianqiao's words immediately eased the atmosphere in the arena. After all, the situation, which had almost turned into a fight, had now become a martial arts contest, which was a good thing.

"Why not give it a try? I'd like to experience Master He's amazing skills firsthand, shall we?"

After Shan Tianxie finished speaking, a glint of light flashed in his eyes. Then, he unleashed a devastating Blissful Ghost King Fist with his bare hand, the wind of the fist howling as it hurtled towards He Nianqiao.

Given his control over Xia Xueyi, it's highly likely that the Five Poisons Sect will fall into his hands in the future, so naturally he won't be able to use the Star Absorbing Technique and the Flying Immortal from Beyond the Heavens!

The two martial arts are too powerful. What if He Nianqiao kills me if I'm not careful? I'll stick with the Ghost King Fist.

He Nianqiao was startled, not expecting the young man to act so decisively!

Although he was prepared, Shan Tianxie's punch came extremely fast, like lightning, and was impossible to dodge.

He had no choice but to fight back with all his might. The Golden Snake Sword unleashed a burst of golden light, and the two were instantly entangled in the interplay of sword light.

"Young master, your martial arts are impressive, but if you think you can defeat me with just this, you're far from it!"

He Nianqiao shouted sharply, sensing that Shan Tianxie's martial arts were no less than his own. He no longer held his longsword, but instead unleashed a golden light as the Golden Snake Sword hurtled towards Shan Tianxie.

"is it?"

Dan Tianxie's lips curled up slightly, and he thought to himself, "Then don't say I'm bullying middle-aged people."

He channeled his inner strength, his body swayed, and he instantly broke free from He Nianqiao's sword strike. Then, he threw a backhand punch straight at He Nianqiao's heart.

"Go!" He Nianqiao shouted, his sword flashing back to defend, trying to block the punch.
