Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

Upon hearing the name of the Persian Ming Cult, Qin Han snorted and casually closed the wooden box in his hand.

"They've really gone too far, coming all the way to Qin territory to cause trouble and demand people?"

He didn't even need to guess to know that these Persians had come all this way, probably for Dai Qisi and her daughter Xiao Zhao, and for that book, "The Great Shift of Heaven and Earth".

Unfortunately, these people were too out of touch with the information.

Dai Qisi and Xiao Zhao had already been taken to Lin'an Palace by him. The "Great Shift of Heaven and Earth" was now in the Sutra Repository, and the lake below was the "Red Abyss." Would they dare to take it even if they had ten lives?

Seeing that Qin Han didn't seem to care much, Su Kui continued the conversation.

"Those Persians were carrying some strange-looking tokens, and their martial arts style was also strange. Yang Zuo Shi and the Five Wanderers didn't figure them out at first and suffered a small loss when they fought them."

"However, they were unlucky; they chose the worst possible time to come."

Ah Jiu, who was listening nearby, was curious and asked a question.

"How so?"

"At that time, Senior Xie, who was living in seclusion in the Tianshan Mountains, happened to bring his son to Chengdu."

Su Kui raised his eyebrows as he said this.

"Those Persian envoys were foul-mouthed and kept babbling, trying to fight Senior Xie. Senior Xie didn't even say a word to them, just casually drew his sword and slashed at them."

"In that instant, the three Persian envoys who were leading the group coughed up blood and flew several meters away. The tokens in their hands were shaken off. If they hadn't run fast, they would have lost their lives in Chengdu."

After listening, Ajiu let out a soft sigh.

Although she had never seen Xie Xiaofeng make a move, his appearance on the Heavenly Ranking was enough to demonstrate his strength. This former third young master of the Divine Sword Manor was not someone that the Persian Ming Cult could easily mess with.

Little Dragon Girl listened quietly from the side. Her swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck. When she returned later, she could ask the other party for advice on swordsmanship.

Su Kui picked up the teacup on the table to moisten his throat and finished explaining the rest of the situation.

"But those Persians are pretty stubborn. Even after being struck by Senior Xie's sword, they still haven't given up."

"When I left Sichuan and headed to Shandong, I heard that they were hiding in a town outside Chengdu to recuperate from their injuries, and were secretly sending carrier pigeons everywhere. Judging from their posture, they were waiting for the Persian headquarters to send an even more powerful cult leader."

Qin Han didn't care much after hearing this. With Xiao Feng's army and many experts from the Ming Cult, even if the Twelve Treasure Tree Kings came together, it wouldn't be a big deal.

"Let them do what they want, we don't need to worry about that."

He leaned back in his chair, tapping his fingers on the armrest.

"Besides Xie Xiaofeng and his son, Xiao Feng's army is also stationed in Sichuan with his iron cavalry. If the Persian Ming Cult really doesn't know what's good for them and sends people over, then we'll kill as many as they come."

At most, the only expert in the Persian Ming Cult headquarters might be the "Old Man of the Mountain," who might be at the early stage of the Celestial Realm. But if he dared to set foot in the Central Plains, Xiao Feng's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms and Xie Xiaofeng's sword would be enough to teach him a lesson.

For the Qin and Han dynasties, this was not a problem at all.

Right now, all he can think about is that Penglai Immortal Mountain in the East Sea.

Since he was convinced that there was something in the immortal mountain that could grant immortality, he had to go there. But how to get there and who to take with him were matters that required careful consideration.

Qin Han stopped tapping his fingers on the armrest and looked at Su Kui. "Kui'er, before we finish dealing with things in Shandong, we'll have to trouble you to make another trip."

Su Kui put the empty teacup back on the table, rolled his eyes, and asked tentatively.

"Does Qin Lang want me to return to Lin'an to deliver a message?"

"Going back to Lin'an was just a side trip; the main purpose was to visit Wudang Mountain."

Qin Han didn't hide his thoughts from the three women in the room.

After a moment's thought, Su Kui grasped the key point: "You want to tell Master Zhang about Penglai Immortal Mountain?"

"right."

Qin Han nodded.

Looking across the world, among the eighteen old monsters on the Heavenly Ranking, the one he knows best, trusts most, and whose character is most reliable, is none other than Zhang Laodao from Wudang Mountain, who has lived for over a hundred years.

"Back when we were discussing Taoism in Lin'an, I mentioned the matter of the overseas immortal mountains to Master Zhang. However, at that time, I only had a map, and no one could say for sure whether it was real or not."

Qin Han patted the parchment scroll in his arms and continued.

"Now that you've figured out the route and coordinates, there's an 80% chance that the 'big guy' inside is real. Even if I bring a large army, I'm not confident about going there on my own."

"Go to Wudang Mountain and tell Master Zhang everything about Wei Yixiao's serious injury. He has a high seniority in the martial arts world and a good relationship with the old ancestor on the back of Mount Emei. It would be much more effective for him to ask a few seniors he knows well than for me to go to their door with a list of names to ask for help."

Upon hearing this, Su Kui's eyes crinkled into a smile, and she immediately saw through her husband's scheme.

"Are you planning to drag all the old monsters on the Celestial Ranking down with you to pave the way for your downfall?"

Ah Jiu, who was standing nearby, understood as well. She was thoughtful and thought things through even more deeply.

Although Qin Shi Huang of Lin'an created the Eight Rankings of the World, ranking all the hidden masters in the martial arts world, in the end, Qin Han himself had no connection with those old monsters who had been living in seclusion for decades.

He's busy annexing the north and guarding against the backlash of the karmic laws of heaven and man, so he doesn't have time to visit any of the various mountain peaks.

If the information is leaked to Zhang Sanfeng, given the old Taoist's nature, whether it's for the sake of martial arts transcendence or to guard against the evil creatures on the island harming people, he will definitely step in.

Qin Han did not deny it and readily admitted it.

"The benefits are shared by everyone, and the risks are shared by everyone; this is fair."

He wasn't worried at all that the news would leak out and someone else would beat him to it.

"Besides, the real nautical charts and routes to avoid the reefs are all in our hands."

"Even if those old guys got greedy after hearing the news, firstly, they didn't have accurate coordinates; secondly, they didn't have large ships from Shenlong Island or sailors familiar with the water to guide them; and thirdly, they didn't have a large naval army."

"If they want to come to the island to seek this divine opportunity, they have no other choice but to cooperate with me honestly."

Upon hearing this, both Ajiu and Xiaolongnu nodded in agreement.

This can be considered a calculated scheme, using the opportunity of immortality and the chance to break through to the level of a terrestrial immortal as bait. No martial artist in the world, not even one, could resist such temptation, let alone that old monster who was already halfway to the ground.

Su Kui readily agreed.

"Alright, I'll take this job. It just so happens that I haven't been back to Lin'an for more than half a year. After I go to Wudang Mountain, I'll go back to the palace to see Mochou and Yuyan."

Qin Han stood up, walked over, put his arm around Su Kui's firm waist, pulled her closer to him, and chuckled in her ear.

"My leader's wife is the one who makes things easier for me."

Su Kui's wheat-colored face immediately turned red to the roots of his ears.

Back in Chengdu, Qin Han often joked about her past identity and played strange tricks on her. Now, bringing it up again in front of Ajiu and Xiaolongnu made her feel quite embarrassed.

She raised her hand and lightly punched Qin Han in the chest, then twisted her waist to try and dodge his restless hand.

"What are you doing, calling me that in front of my girlfriends..."

Watching the two's intimate actions, Xiaolongnu thought to herself that this Sister Su seemed to be very strong and much more robust than Sister Zeng Rou. If she were to accompany her husband tonight, she could probably share a lot of the burden.

Ajiu looked at Su Kui, who was blushing, but this time she didn't seem jealous at all.

Having led the Golden Serpent Camp for two years, she knew firsthand how difficult it was to manage a force. As a woman, Su Kui led her fleet to drift in the East China Sea for eight whole months, her skin turning a wheatish tan. She lost over a hundred men before finally bringing back the coordinates, and the suffering she endured during that time was unimaginable.

It's only right that Qin Han treats her well.

Having gained the upper hand twice, Qin Han patted Su Kui's waist and was about to let go to inquire about the current reorganization of the Shenlong Island navy.

Especially the sailors who went to sea with Su Kui and survived, these people all have some fragments of the nautical chart in their minds, and they must all be kept under control, and absolutely no news of them can be leaked.

He had just opened his mouth, but hadn't yet uttered a sound.

Tap, tap tap...

Suddenly, there were three knocks on the door.

Su Kui quickly stepped back from Qin Han's embrace and raised his hand to straighten his slightly disheveled collar.

Qin Han had previously instructed Lin Pingzhi to keep watch outside, so his disturbance at this time must be due to an urgent matter.

He sat back down in the main seat and called out towards the door.

"Enter."
