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

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiangyu glanced at the heavy baskets on their backs and nodded slightly.

"That's unfortunate. Recently, Longmen Pass received a secret order from the imperial court that a serious criminal is trying to cross the border from Longmen Pass to the outside world. No one is allowed to leave the pass!"

Upon learning that Longmen Pass was under martial law and that it was for the purpose of capturing them, Qiu Moyan's expression changed, but she quickly regained her composure.

Then he took out a silver ingot and handed it to Jin Xiangyu.

"Do you have any further questions, sir?"

After Jin Xiangyu put the silver into her bosom, her mood improved greatly, and her gaze towards Qiu Moyan became even more intense.

"This Dragon Gate Inn is usually very busy, so why are there only a handful of us here today?"

Qiu Moyan asked in a low voice, after all, something unusual must be going on.

As a necessary stop on the way out of the pass, the Longmen Inn used to be bustling with activity. Why is it that today it's only doing business with the table next to it?

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiangyu instantly became furious. She glanced at Shan Tianxie sitting beside her out of the corner of her eye and said to Qiu Moyan in an annoyed tone,

"Why do you care about any of this? I'm happy to make money!"

In his heart, he cursed Shan Tianxie, that fiend, for scaring away all the guests with a single red flash.

Several people have figured out the tricks of the trade and are ready to make a good profit!

Qiu Moyan, upon seeing Jin Xiangyu's expression, had already guessed that the sparse number of guests was probably related to Shan Tianxie and his two companions.

He secretly wondered to himself, "Could he be someone from the imperial court?"

Thinking of this, she pulled Jin Xiangyu into her arms and took out a silver ingot, placing it on Jin Xiangyu's chest.

He then whispered in Jin Xiangyu's ear, "Does the manager know the identities of the people at the next table?"

Jin Xiangyu was initially overjoyed to see Qiu Moyan being so proactive. She'd been pretending to be so proper just moments before; now she couldn't hide it anymore.

Suddenly hearing a voice in my ear, I calmed down.

They carefully examined Qiu Moyan and her group, and seeing how nervous Qiu Moyan was, they couldn't help but become suspicious.

Could these people be the wanted criminals the court is talking about? It's all that damned Hu Yidao's fault; he didn't even clarify whether the wanted criminals were male or female.

However, she decided to focus on making money first and said softly, "I don't know the exact background of those people, but I advise you not to provoke them."

"Oh? What do you mean?" Qiu Moyan asked in a low voice.

"You know the 'Red Touch of Southern Fujian'? She didn't even last one move before dying at that man's hands! Her head was crushed."

At this point, Jin Xiangyu couldn't help but shudder as she recalled the scene.

"hiss!"

Tie Zhu and He Hu, standing to the side, couldn't help but gasp. Although they had never met Min Nan Yi Hong in person, they were both from the underworld. They never expected that they couldn't even withstand a single move. Could it be that these three were all innate masters?

Qiu Moyan frowned upon hearing this news, not expecting that such a place might actually harbor a master of innate cultivation. "Thank you for the reminder, shopkeeper."

He then released Jin Xiangyu, who stood up, licked her lips, gave Qiu Moyan a flirtatious wink, and then swayed her slender waist toward the counter.

As soon as she reached the counter, she whispered, "These people are of dubious origin, neither here nor there. Tell the staff to be extra careful!"

The cashier nodded slightly and said in a low voice, "That man in black looks like their leader. I'll tell the brothers to keep an eye on him!"

Jin Xiangyu rolled her eyes. "That's a woman!"

"A woman?" the waiter asked, puzzled.

“Anyone who doesn’t look me, Jin Xiangyu, in the eye is definitely not a man.”

Jin Xiangyu smiled confidently, completely forgetting yesterday's lesson.

........

After learning about the strength of Shan Tianxie and his group, Qiu Moyan and his companions secretly weighed their options.

In the end, they did not choose to test the waters, but instead quietly returned to their respective rooms after dinner, waiting for Zhou Huai'an to join them.

Dan Tianxie was not in a hurry at this moment, after all, he was the last resort, so he leisurely led Xia Xueyi and Xiyu back to his room.

The weather in the desert is unpredictable. Before long, a fierce wind howled, sand and dust rose, and a torrential rain began to fall from the sky.

The howling wind whipped up raindrops, which pounded violently against the inn's door, accompanied by deafening thunder.

The men rushed forward to close the door and prepare to go back inside to rest, but the wind and rain were too strong. Even after several men worked together to bolt the door, it still creaked and groaned, as if the wind and rain were about to tear the door apart and break in at any moment.

Left with no other choice, the workers had to shield themselves from the wind and rain with their own bodies.

Seeing this scene, Jin Xiangyu was so angry that she cursed, "What a bunch of idiots! How can the door bolt hold? Hurry up and bring the table over!"

Upon hearing this, the other men realized what was happening and were inwardly complaining, "Why didn't you say so sooner!"

Several people hurriedly carried the table over and used it to block the door. The creaking of the door immediately lessened, and the workers breathed a sigh of relief.

Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door, followed by a sharp shout, "Open the door! Open the door! Are you kidding me or not?!"

Hearing this, Jin Xiangyu was also enraged. She had suffered enough losses in the past two days, and now someone was being even more arrogant.

So he shouted angrily, "That son of a bitch, he just closed the door and he's already yelling to open it! Don't let him open it! Let them get soaked to death in the rain!"

"Open the door quickly! Open the door quickly!"

The knocking on the door grew louder, as if the person was becoming impatient.

"Knock, knock, knock! Knock on you, you jinx! If you knock again, I'll..."

Before Jin Xiangyu could finish speaking...

A loud bang came from outside the door, and the inn's door was kicked open.

Then a group of people wearing raincoats rushed in amidst the wind and rain. They were menacing, with a hint of murderous intent in their eyes.

The leader was fair-skinned and beardless, except for a very noticeable black mole on his forehead. He entered the inn and immediately began shouting angrily at the inn's guests.

"Are you all deaf? Didn't you hear me? I've been knocking for so long and you still won't open the door. Are you trying to do business?"

This man was Cao Tian, ​​sent by the Eastern Depot to hunt down Qiu Moyan and his companions. He was accompanied by Jia Ting, Lu Xiaochuan, and a group of agents from the Eastern Depot.

"What the hell!"

Jin Xiangyu cursed angrily, then leaped down from the second floor and headed straight for the counter.

The ledgers on the counter were already soaked by the rain blowing in from outside. "My ledgers are all wet! Are you all bastards? Close the door right now!"

Upon hearing this, the workers quickly lifted the fallen door, repositioned it, and used tables and chairs to prop it up.

Even his straw raincoat couldn't hide Jia Ting's domineering manner. Surrounded by Cao Tian and Lu Xiaochuan, he casually found a spot.

After sitting down with an air of authority, Jia Ting slowly spoke, "Boss lady?"
