Martial Arts Crossover: It All Started with Hijacking Li Canghai

After Granny Yu left, Qin Han looked at another person: "Sister Shi."

The leader of Zhu Tianbu, a beautiful woman named Shi Sao, stepped forward and bowed, replying, "Your subordinate is here!"

"Go and investigate what Abbess Miejue of the Emei Sect is doing. If you find out that Abbess Miejue is visiting various sects, find out why the Emei Sect is visiting them."

Qin Han issued this order because he had not yet heard about the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects. In the original story, the siege of Bright Peak by the six major sects was initiated by Abbess Miejue of the Emei Sect.

Not knowing what stage it's at now, that's why I asked Sister Shi to check on the real-time situation at Emei.

Then he thought of the Ming Cult. The Ming Cult was located in the Western Regions, which was actually in Sichuan, but it was quite far from Lingjiu Palace. After thinking for a while, he added, "While you're at it, find out what the Ming Cult is up to now. If you have the chance, find out if the Four Great Dharma Kings and the Five Wanderers are at Bright Peak."

Now that Qin Han has the Lingjiu Palace, he will definitely need to combine his familiarity with the plot to grasp some real-time information in order to better plan for the future.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After receiving the order, Sister Shi did not hesitate at all and immediately went down to instruct the disciples of Zhu Tianbu to investigate these messages.

Zhu Tianbu is responsible for external operations and military deterrence. Simply put, they are in charge of collecting protection fees from the thirty-six caves and seventy-two islands.

It's just a matter of time before we find out the movements of the Emei Sect and the Ming Cult.

Qin Han looked at the other two women in front of him.

"Fu Minyi, Cheng Qingshuang," Qin Han called out to the leaders of the Yangtian and Juntian divisions.

Fu Minyi, the leader of the Yangtian tribe, wore dark-colored clothing and was a woman with delicate features; Cheng Qingshuang, the leader of the Juntian tribe, wore light blue clothing and was a woman with a somewhat aloof temperament.

Upon hearing this, the two men stepped forward, bowed, and replied, "Your subordinates are here!"

Qin Han glanced at the two women, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes. They were both well-proportioned and had their own unique features, their appearances no less than those of the four women: Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju.

However, the combination of plum blossoms, orchids, bamboo, and chrysanthemums is a quadruplet, a bonus that Cheng Qingshuang and Fu Minyi cannot match.

My gaze lingered on them for a few more seconds. The women in this world were not like those in my previous life, who had been artificially enhanced. They were all untouched by worldly pollution and possessed a natural, unadorned beauty.

"Hmph," a soft hum came from beside Qin Han.

Qin Han turned his head and met Li Canghai's bright eyes, which seemed to say, "Is it beautiful? You're staring at it so intently?"

"Uh..." Qin Han chuckled awkwardly. He had only admired her for a couple of seconds, so why did this fairy-like woman seem jealous?

He coughed lightly, realizing this wasn't the time for flirting, and his gaze returned to Fu Minyi and Cheng Qingshuang.

"You two go secretly to investigate a place called Tianning Temple."

Upon hearing Qin Han's instructions, Fu Minyi and Cheng Qingshuang bowed and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty!"

Seeing that Qin Han seemed to be deep in thought, and obviously realized that there was still something he hadn't finished saying, the two women lowered their heads and waited for what was to come.

Although they had some doubts, they wondered why their task was so simple—just investigating a temple—required two leaders, and why they were specifically assigned to investigate it secretly.

Tianning Temple sounds like just an ordinary temple.

Qin Han ignored their questions and was recalling the details of the treasure at Tianning Temple. The original text mentioned that it was in Jingzhou, but some said it was in Sichuan, and there were even other versions. He could only try to check in Sichuan first.

"Regarding the approximate location of this Tianning Temple," Qin Han said after a moment's thought, "you can start by searching in Sichuan. If you really can't find it, then go to Jingzhou to inquire."

After thinking for a moment, he added to the description of Tianning Temple: "It should be a dilapidated temple with little incense offerings, or even a long-abandoned temple. There shouldn't be many temples that fit these descriptions."

"Your subordinates obey!" The two women replied in unison, bowed, and quickly retreated.

Seeing that the leaders of Lingjiu Palace were so obedient and carried out orders, he nodded to himself. Don't be fooled by the fact that they were all female disciples; they were all truly obedient and never asked any questions. Just follow orders and do what is required.

After dealing with this matter, Qin Han's gaze swept over the remaining five tribal leaders in the main hall.

His gaze deepened, and his aura subtly pressed down on the crowd below. "The other five leaders, listen to my command."

"Your subordinates are here!" The remaining five female leaders sensed the new lord's restrained yet imposing aura and stepped forward in unison, kneeling on one knee.

Li Canghai, standing to the side, looked at Qin Han with some confusion. Was he trying to establish his authority?

I don't think it's necessary. When Wu Xingyun established Lingjiu Palace, he educated these female disciples to be extremely obedient. Even after the change of the leader, they were still very obedient.

Qin Han ordered the five leaders: "Mobilize all your forces and the affiliated forces of Lingjiu Palace to search for a man within the territories of the Southern Song and Northern Qing kingdoms!"

"This man's name is Zhang Wuji! He also has an alias, Zeng Aniu." Qin Han spoke sternly, making sure everyone could hear him clearly and understand the importance of the matter.

"This man might also be accompanied by a girl who likes to use poison. That girl is very ugly, which is a very important characteristic."

The five leaders saw that Qin Han spoke with great seriousness, and it was clear that this man was very important to Lord Qin. Could this man be some kind of friend of Lord Qin?

Is this because the new leader wants to give him a hand?!

All five of them silently memorized this information, not daring to miss a single detail.

Zhang Wuji? Zeng Aniu? An ugly girl who uses poison?

These clues don't seem too difficult to find; perhaps what the Lord says next is the key.

But Qin Han's next words greatly surprised the five leaders: This guy, Wuji, is no friend of the Lord!

"Upon discovering a man with this name, the first thing we did was to test whether he knew martial arts," Qin Han said coldly.

"Remember, be ruthless in your probing! Don't hold back, even if you're wrong, it's okay. Better to kill the wrong person than let any suspicious target go free!"

Once you discover that someone named Zhang Wuji or Zeng Aniu knows martial arts, don't bother with them. Have someone keep a close eye on them, and then immediately send a message to inform me!

The five people had no idea who this young man named Zhang Wuji was, or what he had done that had angered both heaven and man to warrant such an order from their lord.

His eyes turned cold. This was the new lord's first task, and he knew he had to complete it.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The five leaders accepted the order and prepared to leave.

"Go ahead." Qin Han waved his hand.

The five leaders bowed and then immediately left.

Why go to any lengths, even risking killing the wrong person, to find Zhang Wuji?

There is only one reason, and there is only one Ming Cult.

But Zhang Wuji blocked Qin Han's path!
