Crossover Martial Arts: Oh my god! I'm actually a major villain!

"Old Taoist Li Chunfeng!"

I'll do it!

Li Chunfeng?

This is fucking...

Is there such a remarkable person as Li Chunfeng in the world of crossover martial arts?

Su Chen hadn't expected that the old Taoist priest was actually Li Chunfeng, and that Li Chunfeng was a terrestrial immortal at the Celestial Realm.

This is fucking...

Wasn't Li Chunfeng the Imperial Astronomical Observatory of the Tang Dynasty?

Li Shimin possessed a celestial being on land, so why would he spend money to hire the Azure Dragon Society to assassinate him?

"Li Chunfeng, you are the Imperial Astronomical Observatory of the Tang Dynasty. What brings you here?"

Li Chunfeng bowed to Su Chen and said...

"Lord Wuwei, this old Taoist priest hopes that the Sui Dynasty can send troops to help the Tang Dynasty. The Western Regions countries in the northwest of the Tang Dynasty are about to invade the Tang Dynasty's territory, and the Tang Dynasty's army in the northwest is lacking in supplies and provisions."

"If Liangzhou receives no reinforcements or supplies within a month, what will happen?"

"The border troops of the Great Tang will be defeated by the allied forces of foreign tribes. At that time, the people of Liangzhou of the Great Tang will suffer greatly. I beg Marquis Wuwei to save the people of Liangzhou for the sake of being fellow people of the Central Plains."

Su Chen sat down in the main hall and shook his head.

“Li Chunfeng, you should understand the affairs between empires. Besides, the Tang Empire is not part of the Central Plains Empire, and the Sui and Tang are enemies. Do you think I would save the Tang Empire?”

Li Chunfeng smiled and said affirmatively,

"Yes, Marquis Wuwei is no ordinary man. You will definitely send troops to save the Tang Empire."

After Su Chen and Li Chunfeng sat down, Shang Xiufang asked Liu Sheng Xueji to pour tea for them.

Li Chunfeng?

Shang Xiufang knew him.

This is a respectable Taoist priest.

He was also a very famous Taoist priest in the Tang Dynasty.

Shang Xiufang never expected that Li Chunfeng would come looking for Su Chen, let alone that Li Chunfeng was a terrestrial immortal in the Celestial Realm.

Su Chen shook his head upon hearing Li Chunfeng's words.

"You're wrong. I won't send troops to save the Tang Empire. Li Chunfeng, your feng shui divination is inaccurate too."

(Good Zhao) "No, Marquis Wuwei will definitely send out troops. The old Taoist's prediction is not wrong."

"Oh? Li Chunfeng, are you so sure?"

"Of course, this is your chance to unify the Tang Empire, and I believe you will not miss the opportunity to destroy it."

Su Chen was very surprised to hear Li Chunfeng's words.

What does Li Chunfeng mean by this?

Destroy the Tang Dynasty?

Wasn't Li Chunfeng an official of the Tang Dynasty?

Moreover, it was the Imperial Observatory responsible for divination and fortune telling for Li Shimin. Was Li Chunfeng deliberately making a fuss?

Or is he testing himself?

Su Chen shook his head and said, "Li Chunfeng, I don't understand what you're saying at all."

Li Chunfeng said to Su Chen with a serious expression, "My lord, the attacks on the Tang Dynasty by the northwestern and western regions, as well as the Tibetan invasion, are being orchestrated by someone behind the scenes."

"Oh? Who's going?"

"The Bad Guys, Yuan Tiangang!"

"Holy crap!"

Chapter 413 The Bad Guys? The Illusionary Sound Pavilion? The Empress? Su Chen's surprise and speechlessness!

Su Chen was dumbfounded when he heard Li Chunfeng's words.

Bad person?

Yuan Tiangang?

This is fucking...

How come there are still Bad People in the world of crossover martial arts?

That doesn't make sense!

Wasn't the Bad People established by Li Shimin? How come in the world of crossover martial arts, the Bad People want to overthrow the Tang Dynasty?

Su Chen felt his mind was in complete chaos.

Yuan Tiangang was utterly loyal to the Tang Empire.

The Bad People were a secret organization of the Tang Empire, so how could Yuan Tiangang have instigated the Western Regions and Tibet to attack the Tang Dynasty?

Li Chunfeng saw Su Chen's surprise.

He asked in confusion,

"My lord, you also know about the Bad People and Yuan Tiangang?"

Su Chen nodded and asked,

"I've heard of him. Li Chunfeng, wasn't the Bad People established by Li Shimin? Why would Yuan Tiangang want to overthrow the Tang Empire?"

Li Chunfeng smiled and explained.

"Haha, my lord, you're mistaken. The Bad People were established by the retired Emperor Li Yuan. Before Li Shimin's Xuanwu Gate Incident, the Bad People were under the command of Crown Prince Li Jiancheng."

"However, after the Xuanwu Gate Incident, Li Jiancheng was killed, and the retired Emperor Li Yuan was imprisoned in the palace. Yuan Tiangang and the Bad People disappeared. Li Shimin wanted to subdue the Bad People, but he could not find any trace of Yuan Tiangang and the Bad People."

Su Chen rubbed his forehead, utterly speechless.

Was the Bad People in the martial arts world founded by Li Yuan, or was it led by the former crown prince Li Jiancheng?

This is fucking...

Li Jiancheng led the Bad People.

How could he still be killed by Li Shimin?

Yuan Tiangang's strength should be as great as Li Chunfeng's. With Yuan Tiangang and the Bad People protecting Li Jiancheng, Li Shimin simply had no ability to kill Li Jiancheng. This matter is becoming increasingly strange.

Su Chen thought for a moment and then asked again.

"Did Li Jiancheng have any descendants who weren't killed by Li Shimin? Did Yuan Tiangang want to help Li Jiancheng's descendants reclaim the throne of the Tang Dynasty?"

Li Chunfeng nodded in reply.

"That's right. Li Jiancheng still has a son who is alive. Yuan Tiangang's goal should be to help Li Jiancheng's son reclaim the throne of the Tang Dynasty."

What is the name of Li Jiancheng's son?

"Li Xingyun!"

I fucking...

Li Xingyun?

Damn it,

It's getting more and more chaotic.

The Bad Guys, Yuan Tiangang, and Li Xingyun—these individuals and organizations have all appeared.

What about Huanyinfang?

What about Empress Li Maozhen?

What about the Xuanming Sect?

Su Chen felt extremely helpless as he drank his tea.

There must be quite a few hidden martial arts forces within the Tang Empire, but why haven't we heard of them in the martial arts world?

Su Chen looked at Li Chunfeng and asked, "Li Chunfeng, why do you want me to destroy the Tang Empire?"

Li Chunfeng explained to Su Chen with a somewhat confused look in his eyes,

"Lord Wuwei, when the Great Tang Empire was first established, I predicted that it would have a national destiny of several hundred years. However, since last year, the Great Tang Empire's national destiny has only a few years left."

"I still don't understand why the fate of the Tang Empire has changed so much, but what happened this year has made me no longer optimistic about the Tang Empire."

"After the war between the Tang Empire and the Turks, the country's strength declined rapidly. Goryeo, the Western Regions, and Tibet made the Tang Empire face attacks from the northeast, northwest, and southwest."

"Even if the Tang Empire survives this crisis, the powerful families within the Tang Empire may rebel. At that time, the Tang Empire will be torn apart, and the people will face another period of suffering. This is something I do not want to see."

Su Chen laughed loudly upon hearing Li Chunfeng's words.

"Haha... Li Chunfeng, what you're saying might be true, but there's something else you haven't said. Am I right?"
