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

Chapter 225 Loma died unjustly!

"I never expected that you would come from the Valley of Bliss."

Upon hearing this, a look of surprise flashed across Zen Master Kuzhi's face, but he quickly regained his composure.

He then clasped his hands together and bowed slightly to Shan Tianxie.

Although the reputation of Bliss Valley in the martial arts world is not good, it does not follow the same path as prestigious sects like Shaolin.

However, since they have been able to survive in the martial arts world for so long and do things their own way, their strength is beyond doubt.

As for the distinction between good and evil...

He, Kuzhi, is already quite old, so naturally he wouldn't be like those enthusiastic young novices in the temple.

He was always preoccupied with the distinction between good and evil, and when he traveled the martial world, he would rush up and fight any evil or heretical person he encountered.

At his age, he already understood about 60-70% of the ways of the martial arts world.

Everything has its reason for existence; where there is white, there must be black.

The martial arts world is the same.

Moreover, without these heretical and unorthodox martial arts figures, how could the usefulness of a prestigious and righteous sect like Shaolin be demonstrated?

The martial arts world isn't about fighting and killing; it's about understanding human relationships and social dynamics...

Unfortunately, by the time he understood this, he was no longer young...

"Valley of Bliss?"

Upon hearing this, Jin Jiuling smiled meaningfully and continued.

"I'm afraid it should be the young master of Bliss Valley who has come in person?"

"The young master of Bliss Valley?"

Upon hearing Jin Jiuling's words, Master Kuzhi was instantly stunned and stood there dumbfounded.

Are you saying this handsome young man is the young master of Bliss Valley?

As for whether what Jin Jiuling said is true or false, judging from the long time he has spent with Jin Jiuling...

If this Constable Jin wasn't confident, he wouldn't have spoken so casually.

Thinking of this, many rumors about the young master of Bliss Valley instantly flooded Master Kuzhi's mind.

Rumor has it that the young master played a crucial role in Bliss Valley's current scale and prestige.

Although his martial arts skills are not high, his wisdom and strategy are exceptional, and his plans are flawless...

When the sect leader mentioned it casually, he once praised it, saying, "Use ingenious strategies without going against the will of Heaven; such tactics can defeat a million soldiers."

Such praise, coming from the head of the Southern Shaolin Temple, carries immense weight.

However, upon thinking of this, Zen Master Kuzhi suddenly realized another problem.

So what is the relationship between the Hua family and the Bliss Valley that even this young master came to wish Hua Ruling a happy birthday?

You should know that since this young master was attacked a year ago, he has been living in seclusion in the Valley of Bliss.

Now they've actually gotten involved with the Hua family?

Does that mean that the Hua family has now colluded with the Bliss Valley?

Thinking of this, Zen Master Kuzhi instantly felt a sense of unease.

As members of the Shaolin Temple, we are naturally extremely sensitive to such matters.

If the Hua family and the Bliss Valley were to join forces, their combined strength would make them a more threatening sect than Wudang!

"Indeed, it is I, the young master."

Dan Tianxie curled his lips and nodded slightly, acknowledging his identity.

Then he turned his gaze to Jin Jiuling and examined him closely.

Jin Jiuling was tall and slender, dressed very elegantly, and holding a valuable folding fan in his hand.

He didn't look like a ruthless constable from the Six Doors, but rather like a playboy who frequented brothels.

With that kind of appearance, it's no wonder that he could do well in officialdom and was even used to hinder Guo Juxia of the Six Doors.

Despite facing Shan Tianxie's scrutinizing gaze, Jin Jiuling showed no sign of panic.

Instead, he remained calmly seated in his chair, casually picking up his teacup and sipping it, seemingly unconcerned about the matter.

"Young Master Shan has been causing quite a stir in the capital lately."

Jin Jiuling took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

"Oh?"

Master Kuzhi looked curious; he also wanted to learn more about Shan Tianxie's background.

"Amitabha Buddha, I wonder what Officer Jin is referring to? This old monk has not left the temple for a long time, and I seem to be somewhat ignorant."

"The counterfeit money case involving the Hua family a few years ago was solved by him, Lu Xiaofeng, and Hua Manlou of the Hua family."

"He even helped our Six Doors expose this scoundrel, Luo Ma. I, Jin, truly have to thank Young Master Shan!"

At this point, Jin Jiuling put down his teacup, stood up, and gracefully closed his folding fan.

"Many thanks to Young Master Shan for ridding the Six Doors of a scourge."

Jin Jiuling's face was full of seriousness, as if he was genuinely thanking Shan Tianxie.

"Officer Jin, you're too kind."

Dan Tianxie waved his hand, as if it wasn't a big deal.

However, his wariness of Jin Jiuling had increased to a new level.

After all, others might not know what Jin Jiuling is like, but he, who had seen the spoilers beforehand, certainly did.

What kind of good person is Jin Jiuling, who even wants to bully his friend's wife?

"However, there is one thing that I don't quite understand, and I would be grateful if Young Master Shan could enlighten me."

A glint flashed in Jin Jiuling's eyes; he was extremely eager to know the answer to this matter.

"Oh? Officer Jin, please speak freely."

Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie immediately became interested, realizing that Jin Jiuling's flattery of him for no reason was not so simple.

They're all seasoned foxes, why bother playing these old tricks with him? He'd rather see what kind of schemes Jin Jiuling is up to.

Seeing this, Jin Jiuling no longer hesitated and asked, "As far as I know, the Hua family and the Bliss Valley have no prior connection. I wonder why Young Master Shan would personally help the Hua family solve this counterfeit money case?"

At this point, everyone's eyes turned to Shan Tianxie, eager to hear what he would say.

Hua Ruling, the main character of the birthday banquet, also looked on with curiosity.

After all, he had only asked Lu Xiaofeng to investigate the case, and somehow the Paradise Valley got involved.

"That's it."

Dan Tianxie smiled. "Captain Jin, do you want to hear the truth or a lie?"

"What about the truth? What about a lie?"

"The lie is that Bliss Valley wants to transform itself. Doing good deeds every day and upholding justice in the martial world is our duty! Applause, you understand!"

After Shan Tianxie finished speaking with a righteous and indignant expression, only a sparse clapping sounded from behind.

Upon closer inspection, apart from Xia Xueyi and Xiyu, no one else was clapping.

Jin Jiuling was completely stunned. It seemed like the people of Bliss Valley were all a bit slow on the uptake.

He then said with a hint of helplessness, "Young Master Shan, stop joking around, let's tell the truth."

"it is good!"

Dan Tianxie nodded slightly, a smile playing on his lips. "The truth is simple. It's just because the name 'Paradise Pavilion' is the same as 'Paradise Valley'."

Jin Jiuling was a little confused by these words. What did they mean? Did they mean what he thought they meant?

So he asked somewhat uncertainly, "Does Young Master Shan mean that you acted back then because the two characters 'Jile' (极乐) were in the same name?"

This is utterly absurd! Just because someone shares a name, does that mean they have to be eliminated? Calling you a heretic is not an exaggeration!

"good."

Dan Tianxie appeared casual, then asked with a smile, "Otherwise, what else does Officer Jin think it could be?"

"I see."

Everyone had an expression of sudden realization, and their understanding of the evil nature of Bliss Valley deepened once again.

At this moment, Jin Jiuling's heart was in turmoil, and he even had a murderous urge!

Madmen! Madmen! Everyone in Bliss Valley is a madman!

That was the first thought that flashed through Jin Jiuling's mind.

Keep in mind that at the time, when he learned that the Paradise Tower had been breached and that Loma was dead...

He even locked himself in his room and racked his brains for a long time.

I racked my brains but still couldn't figure out which place had offended Bliss Valley.

He was an extremely arrogant person, yet he was deeply affected by this incident.

That's why I chose to ask the question in this particular setting today.

To his surprise, Shan Tianxie told him it was for such a ridiculous reason.

It's absolutely ridiculous. Lockhart died such a damn unjust death.

You should have said earlier that you couldn't accept having the same name as someone else, and you could have just changed your name to "Happy Building" instead!

With the fall of the Blissful Pavilion, my daily necessities suddenly became much more strained.

It seems it's time to think of other avenues.

"Officer Jin, why are you talking about cases when you came here to attend my birthday banquet?"

Hua Ruling feigned displeasure, wanting to end the conversation.

After all, besides the Six Doors producing a pest named Luo Ma, their own family also produced a traitor named Qian Laoda.

Looking back on how much I trusted Mr. Qian, it all seems ridiculous.

"Hahahaha, please forgive me, Master Hua. This matter has indeed troubled me for a long time."

Jin Jiuling laughed and stopped there.

After this matter was put behind them, the group exchanged a few pleasantries and then, citing their long journey, went to rest early.

........

As the night deepens, the moonlight is like water.

Inside the room, Shan Tianxie sat lazily on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, enjoying a gentle massage from Xi Yu.

"Young Master, who are you waiting for this time?"

While giving the massage, Xi Yu asked Shan Tianxie a question in his ear.

However, lately the young master has really stopped acting altogether. Even when he asked for a massage, it was done in a chair.

Now we're on the bed, but if this continues, I'm afraid next time we'll be in the blankets.

Thinking of this, a blush instantly appeared on Xi Yu's fair neck.

When that time comes, will she comply or not...?

Dan Tianxie was unaware of his daughter's thoughts behind him. A faint smile appeared on his lips, but he did not answer.

He simply closed his eyes slightly, as if he was listening intently to something.

Not long after, a light but distinctive sound of footsteps approached from afar.

Dan Tianxie opened his eyes, his smile deepening, and said softly.

"The person we've been waiting for has arrived..."

Just then, there was a gentle knock on the window—three short knocks and two long knocks.

Then came Lu Xiaofeng's voice.

"Young Master Shan, are you asleep?"

"Even the Heavenly Evil has not yet slept..."

"What do you mean?"

"It means I'm not asleep yet..."

"It's good that you're not asleep, it's good that you're not asleep. Senior Hua has something to discuss with you, I was afraid you'd already fallen asleep while holding that beauty."

Then I, Lu Xiaofeng, have done something utterly insensitive and lacking in romantic understanding.

Lu Xiaofeng's cheeky voice came from outside the door.

Upon hearing this, Xi Yu's face instantly turned bright red, even her ears turned red.

He wished he could draw his sword right now and charge out to tear Lu Xiaofeng's mouth apart!

"Okay, I'll be right out."

Dan Tianxie's heart skipped a beat, guessing that they were probably discussing that kind of matter, so he straightened his clothes.

After telling Xiyu to go back to her room first, he walked outside.

After stepping out of the room, I saw Lu Xiaofeng standing outside, looking up at the moon with a very dashing air.

When Lu Xiaofeng saw Shan Tianxie come out, his signature four eyebrows twitched slightly.

He then glanced around the room, a mysterious smile playing on his lips.

"Does Young Master Shan sleep alone?"

"Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters."

Dan Tianxie casually replied, "Didn't Senior Hua have something urgent to attend to? Aren't you leaving?"

"Yeah!"

Lu Xiaofeng also remembered his business, "As we walked..."

.........

A moment later, Shan Tianxie and Lu Xiaofeng arrived side by side at the door of Hua Ruling's study.

Before even stepping inside, a heavy sigh could be heard drifting out.

Dan Tianxie gently pushed open the door, cupped his hands in a respectful greeting, and

"Old Master Hua, why have you summoned us so late at night?"

Hua Ruling slowly raised his head, his eyes filled with melancholy. He gestured with his hand, "Young Master Shan, Lu Xiaofeng, you've arrived. Please come in and sit down."

After the two had taken their seats, Hua Ruling began to speak.

"To be honest, the reason I invited you two here so late at night is to ask you for a favor."

"What is it, Grandpa Hua? Just tell me, and I will definitely do my best to help!"

Lu Xiaofeng, unusually, didn't laugh or joke, but spoke with a serious expression.

"What is it, Mr. Hua? Just tell me. As long as the money is right, I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly!"

Dan Tianxie smiled faintly and echoed his agreement.

Uh-huh?

Lu Xiaofeng initially thought Shan Tianxie's words made sense, but the second half of the sentence just didn't feel right.

"Brother Shan, you..."

"Just kidding, to lighten the mood."

Dan Tian waved his hand with a wicked smile and explained.

"Ah, this is a long story..."

Hua Ruling sighed softly, as if wondering where to begin.

"Alright, alright..."

Dan Tianxie felt a headache coming on when he heard this, and quickly waved his hand, "Senior Hua, since it's a long story, let's keep it short."

Hua Ruling thought about it and agreed that it made sense, then nodded.

"Alright, this matter is actually related to Qi Tong's eyes."

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiaofeng's eyes lit up, and he rushed to Hua Ruling's side.

"Hua Manlou's eyes? Could it be that there's some rare treasure that can restore Hua Manlou's sight?"

After all, as Hua Manlou's good friend, Lu Xiaofeng always wanted to help Hua Manlou regain his sight.

Although he may seem carefree, he is actually very loyal and devoted to his friends.

Hua Manlou's eyesight had always been a source of worry for him, and he always wanted to do something for him.

"That's not true."

Hua Ruling slowly shook her head and continued, "I wonder if either of you has ever heard of the Iron-Shoe Thief?"
