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

Chapter 153 I, Gu Santong, am back!

"Senior's insight is truly remarkable. This junior is cultivating the Sunflower Manual!"

The man in red dared not make the slightest movement and replied respectfully.

As for the person in the palace that Gu Santong mentioned, it should be the old eunuch in the Sutra Pavilion!

No one knows when he appeared in the Sutra Pavilion; all that is known is that all the eunuchs who practiced the Sunflower Manual had been taught by him.

"Are you trying to prevent my release from prison?"

Gu Santong narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a half-smile.

"No, no, I wouldn't dare," the man in red quickly shook his head.

"Your strength is truly exceptional, rarely seen in my life. Even the grandmasters in the Heavenly Prison haven't made a move yet, so how could I dare to make a move and court death?!"

As they spoke, the man in red stepped aside.

It would be bad if people misunderstood later.

He had no interest in stopping the person in front of him from leaving.

Firstly, their own strength is inferior to others, so going up there would be no different from sending themselves to their deaths.

Secondly, he also possesses Supervisor Cao's token. Who knows what Supervisor Cao might be planning? Why should he take the blame and end up pleasing neither side?

"You're good."

Gu Santong nodded. This man was sensible; it saved him from killing someone and ruining his mood.

As for why those grandmasters in the prison didn't intervene, well, if they'd reached the level of grandmasters, they would have definitely investigated their identities thoroughly.

Aside from a handful of people, who would dare to challenge his prowess?

As the man in red made way for them, the group moved forward without any obstruction.

"I, Gu Santong, am back!"

Looking at the scene before him, Gu Santong was momentarily dazed. How long had it been since he had seen the blue sky and white clouds outside?

Twenty years of darkness! It was already a complete ruin, but unexpectedly, today it has turned around and found a new lease on life!

Even with his temperament, he couldn't help but sigh, "These days are getting more and more hopeful!"

"Senior, shall we go and retrieve that Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom?"

Without further ado, Shan Tianxie immediately set off with Gu Santong to the Eastern Depot to find Supervisor Cao.

"Let's go! Let's go!"

Gu Santong looked impatient. Even if he were to face the siege of three Grandmasters in the palace, what would he, Gu Santong, have to fear?

......

Inside the council chamber of the Eastern Depot.

Ta-ta-ta-ta!

Cao Zhengchun sat in the center of the main seat with his eyes slightly closed, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the armrest.

Cao Shaoqin sat down, while Iron Claw Flying Eagle and Big Boss Head Pi Xiaotian knelt on the ground one after another, trembling and not daring to breathe.

"Still no news of the Empress Dowager?"

Cao Zhengchun spoke calmly, his tone revealing neither joy nor sorrow.

The three kneeling men exchanged glances. After a brief exchange of glances, under the pressure of the other two, Flying Eagle had no choice but to muster his courage and reply.

"Reporting to the Chief Supervisor, we have joined forces with the Western Depot to investigate throughout the city, but so far..."

Fei Ying paused for a moment, then secretly looked up at Cao Zhengchun's expression.

Seeing that his expression remained unchanged, a strange light flashed in his eyes. What a traitor Cao!

He was so calm and collected; no wonder the Marquis considered him a formidable foe. It's a pity that no matter how cunning and treacherous he was, he was no match for the Marquis's countless strategies!

Iron Claw Eagle's mind was racing, but his face still showed fear. After calming himself down, he said with shame.

"We have not yet found the Empress Dowager's whereabouts. Please forgive us, Chief Supervisor!"

After saying that, he slammed his head to the ground. Anyone who didn't know better would really think he was extremely loyal.

Cao Zhengchun looked at the Iron Claw Flying Eagle before him and couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

"Zhu Tiedan, Zhu Tiedan, your methods are far too clumsy, but we'll play along with this charade!"

Does it matter whether our family forgives us or not?

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but chuckle.

After a moment, he changed the subject, saying coldly, "The Dragon Guard Manor is using the Empress Dowager's disappearance as an excuse..."

"To criticize us, the Eastern and Western Depots, for incompetence before the Emperor and to try to take over the palace's defenses, do you know how much pressure I, the Grand Eunuch, have been under this time?"

Upon hearing this, a smug glint flashed in the eyes of the Iron Claw Flying Eagle, which had been keeping its head down. Let's see what you, Cao the eunuch, can do this time!

If I can take this opportunity to bring down Cao Zhengchun, then I can return to the Marquis's side!

Meanwhile, Cao Shaoqin and Pi Xiaotian, standing to the side, also banged their heads heavily on the ground, making the scene somewhat comical.

Who would have thought that such a powerful and imposing figure would be here kowtowing!

Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from outside the door, followed by a knocking sound.

"The Chief Supervisor has something to report!"

"Ok?"

Cao Zhengchun frowned slightly upon hearing this. What was going on? Why did the Eastern Depot have no discipline at all these days? He whispered a warning to those outside.

"Didn't I say we should discuss important matters later? What's so urgent? Get in here and answer me!"

Then a young eunuch slowly walked in, and seeing Cao Zhengchun's expression, he dared not delay for even a moment.

"My lord, there are two distinguished guests, one old and one young, at the gate requesting an audience. They are holding your token. Shall we grant them an audience?"

"Hmm? That young master of Bliss Valley?"

Upon hearing this, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but feel a hint of curiosity in his eyes. What did this kid want to see him about at this time?

After all, although Cao Shaoqin had given him one of his tokens, the two had never met before.

She barged into the headquarters of the Eastern Depot looking so fresh and clean, specifically asking to see me by name. Could it be that she has some important business to discuss?

But regardless of whether there's anything wrong or not, as the saying goes, since we're already here...

Out of respect for his brother, this person should at least be met, and perhaps even recruited for our own use. The Eastern Depot is still too short of talent.

There are only two capable people, Cao Shaoqin and Pi Xiaotian. It seems we need to recruit more talented individuals.

It seems the previous intelligence report mentioned that a Shaolin disciple named Luo Jusheng betrayed the sect for love; we could see if we could recruit him.

He was quite confident in Shaolin's martial arts skills.

Cao Zhengchun shook his head slightly, putting these matters aside for the time being, and then gave his instructions.

"Since you're here, let's meet them. Go and invite these two distinguished guests in."

"Yes! I obey my orders!"

Upon hearing the order, the young eunuch quickly went downstairs.

Looking at the three people kneeling before him, Cao Zhengchun couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

To be honest, Cao Shaoqin and Pi Xiaotian can't really be blamed for this. After all, the other party dared to abduct the Empress Dowager of a dynasty, so they must have made thorough preparations.

It will likely be very difficult to find clues in the short term.

Thinking of this, Cao Zhengchun's expression softened slightly, and he gave instructions to the three of them.

"Get up, all of you! What will it look like when our distinguished guests arrive and see you all like this?"
