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

Chapter 104 You Have to Pay Whether You Make a Move or Not

Seeing that Zhou Huai'an wasn't giving him a chance to ask for help, Jia Ting decided to fight for the Eastern Depot! He led the remaining Eastern Depot agents into battle against Zhou Huai'an!

Watching this scene unfold, Xi Yu asked in confusion, "Young Master, Jia Ting clearly wanted to ask for help just now, so why didn't you react?"

"Huh? I'm not a mother hen, why should I care about him?"

Dan Tianxie replied casually, then said in a low voice, "Jia Ting is a very cunning and patient man. If he doesn't die, he will definitely become a problem in the future. It's better to let him die at Zhou Huai'an's hands."

"Oh."

Only then did Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi realize what was happening.

Then the three of them ate the melon seeds and peanuts from the previous wedding banquet, watching the real-life battle unfold before them with great interest.

The two sides were locked in a fierce battle, which lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

Zhou Huai'an proved to be superior, using exquisite swordsmanship to kill Jia Ting and Lu Xiaochuan with a single blow. He then joined forces with Qiu Moyan and others to wipe out the remaining members of the Eastern Depot.

The Eastern Depot pursued the group, and from then on, the entire force was wiped out.

At this moment, corpses lay strewn throughout the inn, and the stench of blood filled the air, so strong it was nauseating.

Qiu Moyan's group is now reduced to four people: Tie Zhu, He Hu, Qiu Moyan, Zhou Huai'an, and Yang Yuxuan's bloodline.

Except for Zhou Huai'an, who had no wounds, the other three were covered in injuries.

"Shopkeeper, could you please find some wound medicine for the brothers?"

"Hmph! You wouldn't light candles for me earlier, and now you want me to give you wound medicine? One word—no way!"

Jin Xiangyu responded coldly, but a hint of cunning lurked in her eyes.

"What do you want?"

Zhou Huai'an said expressionlessly.

"I want..."

Jin Xiangyu hadn't even had a chance to state her conditions.

Suddenly, the sound of horses' hooves rang out outside the door, as if a large army was galloping towards them.

Everyone was startled and rushed to the window to look outside.

Outside, yellow sand filled the sky, blurring the view and making it difficult to see clearly. Only a group of black-clad cavalrymen with bows and arrows on their backs could be vaguely seen heading towards the Dragon Gate Inn.

"Oops!"

Zhou Huai'an looked at the attire of the people outside, his heart sank, and his expression changed drastically. "It's the Black-Clad Arrow Team! Cao Shaoqin must have arrived!"

Upon hearing the name of the Black-Clad Arrow Team, everyone's faces turned extremely grim.

They had obviously all heard of the Black-Clad Arrows, one of the elite forces of the Eastern Depot. Every member of the Black-Clad Arrows had cultivated internal strength, and there were even rumors that as long as the Black-Clad Arrows formed a good formation, even grandmasters would avoid their sharp edge.

Unexpectedly, Cao Shaoqin actually brought out the Black-Clad Arrow Team this time!

"Cao Shaoqin's martial arts are unfathomable. It is said that he has inherited Cao Zhengchun's Heavenly Gang Boy Skill. Now, with the help of the Black-Clad Arrow Team, if you don't lead us to the secret passage, we are afraid we will all die here!"

After thinking for a moment, Zhou Huai'an realized that he couldn't win in a fight. His only option was to escape through the secret passage. He didn't know where those people had gone.

Upon hearing this, Jin Xiangyu hesitated. On the one hand, to be honest, she was a person who loved money more than anything, and she was reluctant to give up the family business of Longmen Inn, which she had worked so hard to build.

On the other hand, the secret passage is the most important secret in the inn. If it gets known to others, she'll be finished.

"Cao Shaoqin is ruthless, vicious, and bloodthirsty. So many people have died because of him at your Dragon Gate Inn."

Even if you believe you didn't do it, Cao Shaoqin won't listen to your explanation. You and your men will be dead for sure!

Seeing that Jin Xiangyu was still hesitating, Zhou Huai'an couldn't help but speak up to remind her.

Recalling the opinions the guests had given Cao Shaoqin, Jin Xiangyu couldn't help but sigh and continued, "Come with me."

At this moment, Qiu Moyan glanced at Shan Tianxie and the others, and spoke up.

"Young Master, the Eastern Depot's men are arriving soon. You killed Cao Tian before, so Cao Shaoqin probably won't let you off the hook. Why don't you come with us through the secret passage?"

Hearing this, Shan Tianxie glanced at Qiu Moyan in surprise. He thought, "I didn't expect you to be such a kind person. One action of yours saved your life. If there are no consequences, I'll save this woman instead, so she won't end up like in the original story, buried in quicksand."

"Okay, let's go together!"

After speaking, Shan Tianxie got up and walked towards Qiu Moyan and the others. Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi followed closely behind, protecting Shan Tianxie on the left and right.

Zhou Huai'an frowned, a hint of displeasure flashing through his mind. After all, he didn't have a good impression of Shan Tianxie, who actually ignored him, a great hero. It was truly despicable!

However, he couldn't possibly embarrass Qiu Moyan in public, so he could only endure it for the time being and wait for reinforcements to arrive.

Then everyone followed Jin Xiangyu to the kitchen where the inn was slaughtering corpses. A strong, pungent stench hit them, causing them to frown.

Jin Xiangyu didn't care about all that. With a slight twist in an inconspicuous place, an underground secret passage suddenly appeared before everyone's eyes.

"Sanliang, Heizi, and Shunzi, you three know the way best, go ahead and lead the way."

"Okay, boss lady."

........

Outside the Dragon Gate Inn, the desert sands churned.

The black-clad archers had now completely surrounded the Dragon Gate Inn.

Cao Shaoqin, dressed in a black robe, sat in the sedan chair, and his right hand moved slightly.

Immediately, a team of over a hundred black-clad archers spun out and fired rapidly into the inn, indiscriminately targeting every room.

"Shhhhhh!"

Arrows appeared in every corner of the inn. These arrows were unusual; after hitting the table, the arrowheads actually opened up and hooked onto the table.

It is the Black-Clad Arrows' secret weapon, the barbed canine arrow! If this arrow were to penetrate a human body without understanding its intricacies...

Using common methods to remove arrows will not only take away a large chunk of flesh, but also make the wound more difficult to heal!

After firing three volleys of arrows, another troop of cavalry rudely smashed open the dilapidated inn door and rushed inside to search the place.

"Reporting to the young commander, there is no trace of any living person in the inn, and the bodies of Jia Ting and others have been discovered."

Cao Shaoqin had not yet replied upon hearing the message from his subordinate.

Someone nearby laughed, "Hahaha, with that kind of shooting technique, Jia Ting and the others are doomed!"

The subordinates dared not answer, for this man was a master sent by the Grand Eunuch to assist the Young Grand Eunuch.

"Money is no object. If you don't speak, no one will think you're mute!"

Cao Shaoqin said coldly, though he was also holding back a lot of anger.

Although Qian Wucai was a master whom the Grand Eunuch had specially invited from the Valley of Bliss to assist him, this man had no masterly demeanor whatsoever. He talked about money all the time, and he was truly vulgar!

I don't know how such a vulgar person could have such strength!

“No problem, I only care about money, not people. Give me the money and I'll do things for you.”

Qian Wucai said with a smile.

"Hmph, the supervisor is just buying insurance! I can handle it myself if nothing unexpected happens, there's no need for you to step in."

"It's none of my business. Since you've come to me, you have to pay me whether you help or not!"
