Martial Arts Crossover: Zhao Min, your sidekick is really something else.

As for the Heaven-Slaying Sword, it did give them a jolt, but not enough to make them lose their composure.

What they really cared about seemed to be something they were intentionally keeping from Zhang Wuji.

More importantly, they were still calling him "Acting Leader".

.

This clearly shows that they truly regard Zhang Wuji as the temporary leader, waiting for the Golden-Haired Lion King to return before handing over the position.

This is quite different from the original work.

But Zhang Wuji was too straightforward and couldn't see what they were hiding.

He also put on a stern face, nodded, and said:

"With the Heaven-Slaying Sword in her hands, the attack on the six major sects after they descended the mountain must be related to her!"

That's right, Zhang Wuji, who had come down the mountain, had already discovered that something had happened to the six major sects.

At this moment, Wei Yixiao chimed in:

"Acting leader, Yang Zuoshi and I will go and take a look first. Please settle Yin Liuxia in the inn first, and we will report back to you when we return."

Yin Liuxia is Yin Liting.

His arms and legs were broken again!

Good heavens, Yin Liting can't even beat Cheng Kun, who is seriously injured and poisoned? He's too weak!

However, Xiao Yaoqing was unaware of this matter. It was also unclear who had injured Yin Liting.

Zhang Wuji nodded in agreement. Knowing that his lightness skill was inferior to Wei Yixiao's, he didn't say anything more.

Wei Yixiao and Yang Xiao exchanged a glance, then simultaneously leaped into the air and chased after Xiao Yaoqing and Zhao Min in the direction they had left.

But after only a few rises and falls, Wei Yixiao spoke up:

"Left Envoy Yang, did you notice?"

155 Xiao Yaoqing is the best candidate to become the leader of my Ming Cult!

"Left Envoy Yang, did you notice?"

Upon hearing the question posed by Wei Yixiao, the Green-Winged Bat King.

Yang Xiao frowned and nodded:

"Back on Bright Peak, the kung fu that the guy surnamed Xiao used, although it looked like the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, was clearly different."

"But just now... what he used was clearly the same Qiankun Great Shift technique as Sect Leader Yang!"

That's right.

The technique Xiao Yaoqing just used was the Qiankun Great Shift he had just copied this morning, now at its ultimate perfection!

Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao also nodded:

"Since that's what you think, then there's no way out."

"Back on Bright Summit, I didn't realize he was using the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, but seeing it today..."

Green-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao himself had never practiced the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth mental technique.

But he must have seen the former leader Yang Dingtian showing off, right?

Therefore, he was deeply impressed by this skill.

Yang Xiao confirmed his judgment, and a look of seriousness flashed across his face.

"Not only that, the aura of the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth emanating from him is far more profound than that of our Sect Leader Yang!"

Wei Yixiao's steps faltered abruptly, his pupils contracted sharply, and his voice changed tone: "You...you say that again?"

His throat was trembling.

Yang Xiao's gaze darkened, and he stopped in his tracks. He smiled and nodded at Wei Yi: "That's right. Leader Yang has mastered the Great Shift of the Universe to the fourth level."

"But that person's skill level is several times higher than that of Sect Leader Yang!"

"With my eyesight, even if he's reached the seventh or eighth level, I can still see pretty much everything. But this person..."

Yang Xiao slowly shook his head, his tone tinged with helplessness: "I can't see through it."

Wei Yixiao's mouth trembled a few times, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and his voice was full of disbelief: "So that means... his Great Shift of Heaven and Earth has reached perfection?!"

Although Yang Xiao was unwilling to admit it, he still nodded: "Pretty much."

After he finished speaking, both of them fell silent.

The dignified Left Envoy of the Ming Cult and the Dharma King Protector were now deeply doubtful.

How old are they?

How many years have you practiced martial arts?

Then look at that kid named Xiao Yaoqing, he's only in his early twenties at most.

Good heavens, he actually mastered the Ming Cult's ultimate martial art, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, to perfection!

Yang Xiao practiced for twenty years before he could barely reach the edge of the second level.

He really wanted to crawl into a hole right now.

People are more mad than people.

But then I thought about it again. Even though Master Yang had the Great Shift of the Universe scroll and practiced it for twenty years, he had only reached the fourth level.

Compared to this, the two of them finally felt a little better.

Wei Yixiao raised his head, a strange light gleaming in his eyes, and slowly said, "He is the one that our Ming Cult should support the most."

Yang Xiao was taken aback, looked at Wei Yixiao, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes, but still nodded: "That's right."

"But... he's a man of the imperial court."

Wei Yixiao paused for a moment, as if suddenly remembering something, and lowered his voice, saying, "Left Envoy Yang, do you remember that kid Zhu Yuanzhang said that there are spies from our Ming Cult around that woman?"

Yang Xiao paused for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled softly:

"Isn't that the Western Region monk Old Zhu was talking about?"

Wei Yixiao lowered his voice, his tone carrying a strange undertone:

"Who says there can only be one undercover agent?"

Yang Xiao's pupils suddenly contracted—

"You mean...?"

Neither of them said anything more.

They glanced at each other, then simultaneously clenched their fists.

"Never mind all that, let's follow them and see!"

A few steps away.

Zhao Min and Xiao Yaoqing had already arrived at the entrance of Green Willow Manor.

At this moment, a shrewd glint flashed in Zhao Min's eyes, and she turned to ask:

"Xiao Yaoqing, do you see any familiar figures?"

Xiao Yaoqing nodded:

"You mean, those guys from the Ming Cult?"

Zhao Min's lips curled into a smile, her gaze intense:

"After waiting for so long, they've finally shown up!"

Having said that, she gripped the Heaven-Slaying Sword tightly in her hand, her tone filled with longing:

"The Heaven Sword is already fierce enough. I really want to see with my own eyes just how domineering that 'Supreme Martial Arts Sword, Dragon Slayer' really is."

That's right.

When Zhao Min first approached Zhang Wuji, besides quelling the rebellion, her real purpose was to obtain the Dragon-Slaying Saber.

In her view, a treasure that could command the world and that no one dared to disobey should rightfully belong to the imperial court.

However, Zhao Min had no idea that the knife originally belonged to the imperial court.

Wasn't this a scheme that Cheng Kun, that old fox, presented to the Prince of Ruyang before Zhao Min was even born?

To throw the martial arts world of the Central Plains into chaos, the location of the Dragon-Slaying Saber must be publicized throughout the world, forcing various forces to tear each other apart.

This allowed Zhang Wuji's mother, Yin Susu, to seize the opportunity and get her hands on it.

However, Xiao Yaoqing was too lazy to bring this up with her.

She'll understand when she gets back.

The two entered the gates of Green Willow Manor. Zhao Min stepped over the threshold first and spoke to the servant beside her:

"Go, summon the two elders of Xuanming here."

Before stepping into the villa, Xiao Yaoqing glanced discreetly into a corner.

My heart sank slightly:

"Why are only Wei Yixiao and Yang Xiao here? Where is Zhang Wuji?"

When Xiao Yaoqing used the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth, he never intended to hide it from the Ming Cult.

Even if they realize he knows this skill, what can they do to him?

Of course, only Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao could recognize the Qiankun Great Shift.

Xiao Yaoqing hadn't expected that these two people were far less loyal to him, the acting leader, than he had imagined.

Such an important matter, yet the two chose to remain silent and didn't utter a single word.

After all, the incident on Bright Peak had already turned the situation upside down.

The thoughts of these Ming Cult members are naturally not exactly the same as before.

Zhang Wuji sat in the chair, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest.

Never mind, I don't want to think about it too much.

All he could think about now was how to deal with the Xuanming Elders after they invited those guys into Green Willow Manor.

In the distance, Yang Xiao and Wei Yixiao watched the two figures disappear through the gates of Green Willow Manor. They exchanged a glance, their figures flickered, and then they vanished without a trace.

He clearly went back to report the news.

Zhang Wuji was holding a teacup when he received the message.

He put down his teacup, stood up, and prepared to make the trip himself.

At the same moment, on Bright Summit.

It's the place where we just had a match a few days ago.

Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King, stood at the very front of the crowd, with a dark mass of Ming Cult members behind him.

He squinted at the group opposite him, his voice deep and serious: "Where are you from, young lady?"

The people standing opposite were all women.

The leader was a pretty girl in a yellow gauze dress.

Standing next to her was a little girl of about ten years old, clutching a dark green stick—a dog-beating stick.

The woman in the yellow dress trembled slightly, and a sentence floated from her lips, not loud, but clearly audible throughout the entire platform:

"Behind Zhongnan Mountain lies the Tomb of the Living Dead, where the Condor Heroes have vanished from the martial world."

Upon hearing this, everyone in the Ming Cult was stunned.

Nobody understood what it meant.

But just hearing it makes it sound like it has quite a background.

The White-browed Eagle King is different.

Upon hearing this, his pupils suddenly contracted.

His heart skipped a beat, and he blurted out, "You're a descendant of the Condor Heroes?"

The woman in the yellow shirt remained silent.

Her face was covered by a veil, so her expression was not visible. She just quietly looked at him.

Yin Tianzheng then realized that he had spoken too quickly.

He coughed lightly to steady himself, cupped his hands in a slight bow (without bending his back), but his tone was much more polite: "So you're a young lady from the Ancient Tomb Sect. May I ask what brings you all this way to Bright Peak?"

This question was asked much more gently than before.

After all, even after so many years, who in the martial arts world wouldn't give a thumbs up to the name of the Condor Hero?

The woman in yellow finally spoke, her voice still as pleasant as ever: "I've heard that there's a man on Bright Peak who knows the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms."

White-browed Eagle King raised an eyebrow.

He started to wonder: "Are they talking about that young courtier surnamed Xiao?"

But what puzzled him even more was something else—

Didn't the Ancient Tomb Sect close its gates long ago? After The Return of the Condor Heroes, there has been no news of them in the martial arts world.

How come this girl is so well-informed?

Bright Summit and Zhongnan Mountain are separated by more than a thousand miles.

Only a few days after that great battle, the Ancient Tomb Sect not only received word of the battle, but also had their figures standing right in front of them.

Yin Tianzheng, the White-browed Eagle King, felt a surge of emotions, but he didn't show it on his face.

The woman in yellow, observing his expression, understood what was going on. This man definitely knew something, so she simply cut to the chase:

"My ancestors had some old ties with the Beggars' Sect. I would like to ask Eagle King to do me a favor and tell me where that man who practiced the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms is now."

Yin Tianzheng had a bellyful of questions, but a lake is a lake, and he would never ask questions he shouldn't.

Besides, the Ancient Tomb Sect has a very mysterious background.

Back then, the Condor Heroes swept through the martial arts world, but no one knew just how deep their influence truly ran.

Moreover, Xiao Yaoqing is a member of the imperial court.
