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

Looking at Hu Yidao's smile, Shan Tianxie's smile grew even brighter.

"Your insight is truly admirable!"

Dan Tianxie offered a reluctant compliment, then continued, "However, we are newcomers and unfamiliar with the rules of this desert. It is a great honor to have a mentor and friend like Commander Qianhu here today."

"Would it be so kind of you, Commander, to come to our house for a private chat, so I may ask you some questions?"

"Ahem, there's no need for your guidance." Hu Yidao coughed twice and then picked up the tea on the table to moisten his throat.

He continued, "However, seeing that you're sensible, I, the commander, might as well give you a word of advice. Recently, a serious criminal has been attempting to leave the pass through the Dragon Gate Inn."

The imperial court has issued a strict order: now, entry through Longmen Pass is permitted, but exit is not. You've caught a lucky break, kid; things haven't been peaceful on the border lately..."

That's all there is to it. If this kid is smart, he should understand the unspoken meaning behind his words and leave Longmen Pass, this place of trouble, as soon as possible. If he doesn't understand, then it can only be said that he is unlucky.

After finishing his reflections, Hu Yidao prepared to leave to find Jin Xiangyu to take care of some important business. He wanted both the money and the woman!

Just then, a hand suddenly stopped him. Dan Tianxie smiled slightly and handed him another silver note worth one thousand taels.

"Lord Commander, perhaps you should reconsider?"

"Hey, what do you mean by that? What do you take me for?! I'm a proper official of the imperial court!"

Hu Yidao questioned with an air of righteous indignation.

However, the occasional furtive glances he gave him away.

Dan Tianxie didn't care at all, and took out another silver note worth a thousand taels, waving it to indicate that it was a silver note.

"We sincerely wish to ask for your guidance, Commander. Why do you keep us at arm's length?"

"Hahaha, young master, you have a good eye for people."

"Since you are all so sincere, I will reluctantly offer you some guidance!"

Hu Yidao snatched the silver note and, without batting an eye, stuffed it into his bag in full view of everyone.

He then added, "However, I must make this clear upfront: I will not do anything illegal or disorderly!"

Hu Yidao finally realized that Shan Tianxie's generosity meant these people were definitely not ordinary individuals.

Now that they've suggested a private conversation, it seems there are some things they can't say in public.

But I guess they just want to win him over as a commander, so that they can make an exception at Longmen Pass and secretly let them out of the pass.

This is a huge deal! If the negotiations go well, he'll have the funds to lobby those high-ranking officials in the imperial court.

It saves me from spending my whole life in this desert, where I have money but nowhere to spend it.

Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi exchanged a glance, something was wrong, very, very wrong.

They all knew Shan Tianxie's character all too well.

Is there ever a time when the young master would voluntarily pay money?

There's a conspiracy! There's definitely a conspiracy involved!

Jin Xiangyu, watching this scene from afar, was practically spitting fire in her eyes.

On the one hand, they didn't expect Shan Tianxie to be so rich; if they had known, they should have tried other methods.

On the one hand, I didn't expect Hu Yidao to be so unreliable. He forgets everything when he sees money. There really isn't a single good man!

Especially when she saw him eagerly following Shan Tianxie upstairs, he didn't even glance at her.

The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and I glanced around.

I saw that the guy with the rat-like whiskers was still standing there, looking dazed.

Okay, you're the one!

"Slap!" A crisp slap rang out, and the guy with the rat whiskers' face instantly turned red and swollen.

"What are you doing just sitting there? Don't you have any work to do?"

Jin Xiangyu shouted angrily.

The slap left the rat-whiskered waiter completely bewildered.

First of all, I did nothing, and secondly, I didn't offend any of you!

However, he didn't dare to bare his teeth at Jin Xiangyu, and just silently touched his already unhandsome face.

He cursed inwardly, thinking, "The shopkeeper's been so irritable these past few days, is he on his period?"

......

"Just say what you have to say. There's no one else here, and my time is very precious!"

As soon as Hu Yidao stepped into the room, his gaze sharp as a hawk's, staring directly at Shan Tianxie, his tone revealing a hint of impatience.

Dan Tianxie didn't reply, but just chuckled softly.

Then, his movements were like a fox hunting its prey, instantly closing in on Hu Yidao and standing in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Hu Yidao looked astonished. "Why the hell are you standing so close to me? I like women."

However, Hu Yidao's thoughts were not yet clear.

Dan Tianxie had already made his move, quickly striking several major acupoints on Hu Yidao's chest.

He then took out his old companion, the Bone-Corroding Heart-Eroding Pill, from his pocket, grabbed Hu Yidao's chin, and forcibly stuffed the pill into his mouth.

A look of terror flashed in Hu Yidao's eyes. He tried to struggle, but felt a numbness spread throughout his body, and he couldn't move.

After finishing everything, Shan Tianxie slowly released Hu Yidao's acupoints, then walked to a stool and sat down, looking calm and composed.

"What did you just feed Commander Ben?"

Hu Yidao asked, panting heavily, a hint of unease in his voice.

Dan Tianxie smiled slightly, his tone indifferent, "It's just an ordinary Bone-Corroding and Heart-Eroding Pill."

Hu Yidao's heart sank. This was bad. Judging from the name, it was no good.

He had originally thought that with about a hundred brothers guarding the outside, no one would dare to make a rash move!

I can't believe there really is such a reckless person, and what's worse, he actually let someone succeed.

I really want to slap myself now. Why did I have to be so greedy for money?

But after a moment, Hu Yidao forced himself to calm down, thinking: Now that things have come to this, it's better to live a miserable life than to die. Deal with this person in front of me first, and then figure out what to do next!

"What can I do for you, young master?"

Hu Yidao forced a smile onto his face, his previous arrogance gone.

"Hmm? Your attitude changed pretty quickly."

A hint of appreciation flashed in Shan Tianxie's eyes. Despite his burly and rough appearance, Hu Yidao was a typical brute.

But the fact that he could stay in Longmen Pass for so long and even train Jin Xiangyu as a double agent shows that his ability to assess situations is truly remarkable.

Dan Tianxie explained his purpose to the commander.

"So, you mean, young master, you're from the Eastern Depot, and you've come here to arrest the wanted criminal Zhou Huai'an?"

"That's right, if you do a good job this time, the Eastern Depot will naturally reward Commander Hu."

It's not impossible that he'll be transferred to a lucrative position.

Upon hearing this, Hu Yidao was instantly overjoyed. "You should have said it was for this reason earlier! There would have been no need to poison him!"

He had been in Longmen Pass for over a decade and had long wanted to leave this godforsaken place.

What's more, as long as this job is done well, you can go to other places to take a lucrative position and enjoy the feeling of bullying men and women!
