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

A thousand thoughts raced through Jia Ting's mind before he instructed, "Cao Tian, ​​Lu Xiaochuan, later in the night when it's quiet, go and secretly investigate to see if Zhou Huai'an is among the two groups!"

"Subordinates take orders!"

The words are divided into two parts.

On the other side, Qiu Moyan was just about to rest when the door was suddenly kicked open, and a dark figure darted in like lightning.

"who is it?!"

Qiu Moyan suddenly stood up and quickly grabbed the sharp sword beside her. Seeing the dark figure approaching, her heart tightened, and she didn't have time to think.

With a clang, the sword flashed a cold light in the air and pierced straight into the dark shadow.

However, her opponent was clearly very familiar with her martial arts skills and struck first, easily knocking the longsword out of her hand.

Qiu Moyan was startled and was about to call for help when...

But then a familiar voice rang out: "It's been a long time since I've heard you play the flute. Why are you drawing your sword right away?"

Huai'an?

Qiu Moyan couldn't believe it and carefully examined the person in front of her.

The figure in black also took off his black veil and hat, and stood there looking at Qiu Moyan with a smile on his face.

"Huai'an! It really is you! How did you get here so early!"

When Qiu Moyan saw Zhou Huai'an, the lover she had been longing for, she gazed at his familiar face, and the coldness in her eyes faded, replaced by deep tenderness.

Upon hearing this, a hint of seriousness flashed in Zhou Huai'an's eyes. "Because the lackeys of the Eastern Depot have arrived!"

"The situation is critical now. Where are those gangsters you hired? We need to come up with a plan immediately."

Qiu Moyan naturally wouldn't object to Zhou Huai'an's arrangement. If it weren't for Zhou Huai'an, she wouldn't have gotten involved in this mess!

Since Zhou Huai'an couldn't show himself, Qiu Moyan led everyone into her room.

He then introduced everyone to Zhou Huai'an, and they exchanged pleasantries.

The two little ones were overjoyed to see Zhou Huai'an, after all, they had been stuck in the basket for the past two days and it was a rare treat to get some fresh air.

However, when everyone heard that the Eastern Depot's pursuers had arrived, their faces inevitably turned somewhat grim.

"Master Zhou, what should we do now?"

Tie Zhu asked.

A person's reputation is like a tree's shadow. Tie Zhu and He Hu are, in the end, just outlaws, gangsters who make a living on the edge of a knife.

If I get registered with the Eastern Depot because of this, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay in the Ming Dynasty anymore!

Zhou Huai'an's mind raced, and an idea came to him. "I heard there's another group of guests at the Dragon Gate Inn?"

"That's right. According to that flamboyant shopkeeper, the three of them are highly skilled in martial arts, and one of them is even a master of the innate realm!"

Someone immediately responded.

"That's great!" Zhou Huai'an stood up abruptly, then continued, "When I was working in the capital, I heard a little about the Eastern Depot's operations. They will definitely investigate the guests' identities tonight, and if a conflict arises between the two sides..."

Although Zhou Huai'an didn't finish speaking, the group already understood his plan.

"Are you trying to shift the blame?" Qiu Moyan looked at Zhou Huai'an with surprise and asked hesitantly.

"What if those people die at the hands of the Eastern Depot because of this?"

"Mo Yan, our most important task now is to protect the Yang family bloodline. If that young hero knew that he was sacrificing himself for the justice of the martial world, he would surely be able to die with a smile on his face! Besides, according to what you said, their strength might not be enough to kill them at the hands of the Eastern Depot."

Zhou Huai'an said with righteous indignation.

Listening to Zhou Huai'an's righteous and awe-inspiring words, Qiu Moyan felt vaguely uneasy, but couldn't quite put her finger on what was wrong, so she could only remain silent.

Tie Zhu and He Hu, who were standing to the side, didn't care at all; they weren't exactly good people to begin with.

This isn't the first time I've done something like "better to die than for myself," especially since Master Zhou himself said that this time he's dying for justice!

"What if that group is even more terrifying than the Eastern Depot?"

Qiu Moyan suddenly asked a question.

"Wouldn't that be even better?" Zhou Huai'an said confidently, as if he had everything under control.

"If the Eastern Depot is wiped out, then we can take the opportunity to leave the pass. Either way, we won't suffer any losses."

"Master Zhou's insight is brilliant!"

Tie Zhu and He Hu exchanged a glance and said in unison.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Qiu Moyan had no choice but to obey the majority and accept Zhou Huai'an's arrangement.

As night deepened, the Dragon Gate Inn, which only housed three groups of people, suddenly became lively.

The Eastern Depot had already begun its operation. Its members were divided into two groups: Cao Tian led his men to the rooms of Shan Tianxie and the other two, while Lu Xiaochuan was assigned to Qiu Moyan's room.

Their purpose was to confirm whether Zhou Huai'an had arrived at the Dragon Gate Inn.

If Zhou Huai'an's whereabouts are discovered, the message will be sent to Cao Shaoqin. Then, every means will be used to stall Zhou Huai'an while waiting for Cao Shaoqin to come to the rescue.

Otherwise, given their strength, even if Zhou Huai'an wasn't their match, they wouldn't be able to stop him!

After Cao Tian arrived at Xia Xueyi's room, he first observed the room through the window and saw Xia Xueyi lying on the bed with her eyes closed.

A crunch.

Cao Tian pushed open the gauze window and flipped himself into the room.

Xia Xueyi remained motionless, seemingly lost in a dream, and one could even hear his soft snoring.

Cao Tian felt relieved. It seemed the person wasn't a master and didn't have much strength!

Not to brag, but if someone were a master in the martial arts world, let alone such a loud noise, even the sound of a needle falling to the ground would instantly wake them up!

He walked slowly to Xia Xueyi's bedside. Because the light was somewhat dim, he was about to light a tinderbox to compare with the portrait and confirm whether it was Zhou Huai'an.

Xia Xueyi, who had been keeping her eyes closed, suddenly opened them and stared intently at Cao Tian like a venomous snake.

Cao Tian was startled and broke out in a cold sweat, realizing something was wrong!

Then, with a quick movement, he prepared to escape through the window.

But it was too late. With a clang, the Golden Serpent Sword was drawn instantly, its golden light dazzling in the darkness.

Xia Xueyi shot out like a meteor, a flash of sword light passing through the air.

There was a loud "plop" sound!

The tip of the Golden Snake Sword had already pierced Cao Tian's throat and emerged from the back of his head.

Cao Tian stared in disbelief at the dazzling golden snake sword before him.

Blood flowed down his throat, making the bloodstains on the Golden Serpent Sword shimmer with an eerie green light.

As Xia Xueyi suddenly drew her sword, Cao Tian clutched his throat, collapsed to the ground in agony, and died.

The sound of Cao Tian falling to the ground was quite loud, especially since everyone was still awake and rushed over upon hearing the noise!

The innkeeper hurriedly lit the oil lamps, instantly brightening the entire inn.

"What are you making such a racket in the middle of the night?! Has someone died or someone's child gone missing?!"

Jin Xiangyu stormed out of the room, her face flushed. When she saw that the sound was coming from Xia Xueyi's room, she lowered her voice.
