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

Chapter 182 Gu 3 Tong: Mei Niansheng, right? You beat him up back then.

Gu Santong nodded slightly; he could be called an invincible rascal.

Naturally, he was a smart person. He was only anxious about Su Xin's whereabouts before, and did not expect this.

After Shan Tianxie pointed it out, he thought about it for a moment and realized that what Shan Tianxie said made perfect sense.

If Cao Zhengchun were to find out about their relationship, things would become much more complicated.

After figuring things out, Gu Santong was no longer in a hurry.

He then sat back down in his original seat, pondered for a moment, and then slowly spoke.

"Then, in Young Master Shan's opinion, what should we do now? Should we just wait like this?"

"Not bad!"

Dan Tianxie nodded, then said softly.

According to the original story, the Eastern Depot would naturally find out Su Xin's whereabouts after some time.

All we need to do is follow the people from the Eastern Depot and secretly pull off a switcheroo.

In this way, the Eastern Depot can also help block the view of the Iron-Blooded Marquis, preventing them from confronting Zhu Wushi right now.

However, upon thinking of this, Shan Tianxie suddenly remembered another question that he had always wanted to ask Gu Santong but had never had the chance to.

His gaze swept over Gu Santong from head to toe until Gu Santong became somewhat uncomfortable.

Only then did Shan Tianxie slowly speak.

"Senior Gu, I have a question I'd like to ask you, and I hope you will answer it truthfully."

"What's wrong? Tell me, why are you making such a serious face?"

Gu Santong answered with unusual decisiveness: his wife and son were in their hands, so what was there to be coy about?

Seeing this, Shan Tianxie looked at Gu Santong and asked with a serious expression,

"Senior Gu, are you alright? I mean... do you have any hidden injuries or anything?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Santong was taken aback at first, then laughed and said, "Hmm? You actually figured it out? Not bad!"

Mentioning this internal injury, a complex look flashed in Gu Santong's eyes. He hadn't expected that Shan Tianxie would see through it.

That's right, he does have internal injuries right now. Normally, fighting against opponents far less skilled than him wouldn't be a problem.

However, if the stalemate lasts too long when fighting against a master of the same level, problems will arise!

Back then, he made a pact with Old Pig to fight in the Tianshan Mountains.

Despite suffering lifelong internal injuries, Old Pig bravely endured the ninth level of his Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill!

At the crucial moment of their final competition, Su Xin suddenly appeared again, distracting him.

He suffered internal injuries after being struck in a pressure point on his chest by Old Pig's Pure Yang Finger.

Normally, this injury wouldn't be a big deal; with a little exercise after a battle and a few days of proper recuperation, it would be fully recovered.

Unfortunately, he was subsequently imprisoned on the ninth level of the Heavenly Prison, and before Shan Tianxie arrived, he hadn't even had a proper meal.

They can only barely survive by using their internal energy to draw small animals like spiders, mice, and geckos from the underground tunnels for food.

Over the years, minor injuries naturally turned into major ones. If it weren't for Old Pig occasionally throwing over a couple of martial arts masters so he could absorb some of their inner energy,

I'm afraid he'll lose control of his injuries and die before he even sees Shan Tianxie!

After being released from the prison, he did consider recovering from his injuries, but unfortunately, his internal injuries were too severe.

The effects of conventional methods are not entirely useless, but they are negligible.

Whenever he thinks about this, he feels like slapping himself.

Why did you have to play around? Why didn't you just honestly practice a couple of martial arts techniques? Instead, you took a liking to that old pig and led him to Tianchi to find the secret manual.

This led to so many problems later on.

.......

Dan Tianxie saw that Gu Santong was lost in his memories, and occasionally he was gritting his teeth.

He simply stood aside and waited quietly.

You must know that he is a polite young master of the evil sect, and he would never do something like disturbing his senior's memories!

At the same time, he pondered in his heart how to heal Gu Santong's internal injuries.

Although an injured Grandmaster is still a Grandmaster, it just doesn't sound right!

It seems I really have to go back to Bliss Valley. I'll ask Li Guishou to help me figure out what's going on.

Although Li Guishou usually takes on ancient plastic surgery, his medical skills are undoubtedly exceptional, as he was named one of the four great doctors of the Ming Dynasty.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to accumulate such a large fortune through his skills.

Speaking of which, Li Guishou was crying and shouting that he wanted to offer that big ship to the Valley of Bliss, and he couldn't stop him.

If every disciple of Bliss Valley were like Li Guishou, how could the guild not grow and prosper?

His mind was racing with thoughts, but his face remained completely expressionless.

After thinking for a long time, Shan Tianxie decided that it was more reliable to go back and find Li Guishou.

Having made up his mind, just as Shan Tianxie was about to speak and invite Gu Santong to return to the Valley of Bliss with him.

Gu Santong spoke first, saying, "I know my injury best. Ordinary doctors simply cannot heal it. Only by finding that person can it be done..."

"Oh?"

Dan Tianxie's eyes lit up, and he instantly became interested.

Look at you, you knew how to treat it and you should have said so sooner! Why didn't you say so sooner!

However, he wasn't in the mood to recreate the classic scene at that moment.

"who is it?"

Dan Tianxie raised an eyebrow, then said in a deep voice, "I will definitely go and invite people myself this time. Senior Gu, you may not know, but I am best at inviting people!"

Meanwhile, in the Valley of Ultimate Bliss, thousands of miles away...

Li Guishou, who was treating the disciples of Bliss Valley, suddenly shivered, a chill inexplicably rising in his heart!

He couldn't help but be a little surprised. What was going on? Could it be that someone was talking badly about him behind his back?

Otherwise, why would I feel a chill coming from the air, especially since it's not even winter yet!

I don't understand, I really don't understand.

Meanwhile, inside the Drunken Life Pavilion...

Upon hearing this, Gu Santong grinned. He was actually quite good at inviting people; at least back then, no one would refuse his invitation.

Thinking of this, Gu Santong didn't waste any more words and slowly uttered a name.

"That person's name was Mei Niansheng, I think he had a nickname like Iron-Boned Ink Calyx or something, it's been a while, I can't quite remember..."

"I never expected it to be him."

Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie wasn't too surprised, since anything that could heal a Grandmaster's internal injuries was certainly no ordinary martial art.

He had heard of Mei Niansheng before; she was another master of Di Yun, the protagonist who suffered the most misfortune.

Mei Niansheng is a renowned figure in the Jiangnan martial arts world, nicknamed "Iron Bone Ink Calyx"!

He cultivates two unique skills: the Divine Illumination Scripture and the Liancheng Sword Technique. The Divine Illumination Scripture is a medical bible that emphasizes profound understanding of nature.

In the original story, after Ding Dian practiced this skill, he managed to save Di Yun from the clutches of the King of Hell. The effect was far superior to the Rama Divine Skill!

However, this person is just like Wuyazi; he is not cautious at all when it comes to taking on disciples.

None of the three disciples he took in—Wan Zhenshan, Yan Daping, and Qi Changfa—were any good.

They conspired to steal their mentor for the sake of a so-called treasure, and now things have come to this.

The old man was too soft-hearted, and as a result, he was ambushed by the Corpse-Lying Sword Technique and instantly became a corpse.

He is a rare talent.

"That's right, it's him, or more precisely, the martial art he's practiced!"

Gu Santong nodded, and then continued to explain.

"Although Mei Niansheng's Divine Illumination Scripture is mediocre in actual combat, it cannot withstand this martial art."

It is extremely helpful for internal injuries, I thought about it carefully.

If I could absorb some of his Divine Illumination Scripture's true energy now, and then cultivate it further, it should help me recover to my original state!

Upon hearing this, Shan Tianxie, as if Watson had discovered a blind spot, asked with a hint of doubt, "Fighting is commonplace? How do you know that, Senior Gu?"

"Oh, about this!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Santong said with a proud expression.

"I beat up this old guy back in Jiangnan. If it weren't for the Divine Illumination Scripture protecting him, I'm afraid he would have been hammered to death by my Vajra Indestructible Divine Skill long ago."

Good heavens, Shan Tianxie was speechless. This isn't it... What are you so proud of?!

Didn't you know to absorb some internal energy back then, just in case? That only made the whole thing more difficult!

However, now that we know the Divine Illumination Scripture can heal Gu Santong's internal injuries, things are much simpler.

In an instant, Shan Tianxie devised a plan that was very easy to understand.

The first step is to find Mei Niansheng, the second step is to use the "invitation" technique, and the third step is to unlock the complete form of Gu Santong!

Once Gu Santong has fully recovered, he can begin preparations for the Five Mountains Clash.

Previously, one reason was that Mo Da needed time to contact the other three sacred mountains.

Secondly, Shan Tianxie had always had some concerns. Although Mount Song was very large, the Mount Song Sword Sect and Shaolin Temple were not on the same mountain.

But how can one tolerate someone else snoring beside one's bed? Shaolin is not some pushover.

The fact that the Songshan Sword Sect was allowed to exist suggests that the two sects had little connection whatsoever.

Therefore, he has always been wary of those bald monks at Shaolin Temple, who might break the rules and become some kind of grandmaster or great master.

Think about all the things Shaolin Temple does in various books, and you might be surprised to learn that it's actually possible!

With this in mind, Shan Tianxie made up his mind instantly: he would never go up Mount Song until Gu Santong was back to his full strength!

The most urgent task now is to complete the first step: find Tiegu Mo'e Mei Niansheng.

Hopefully, he hasn't been betrayed by his apprentice yet.

Thinking of this, Shan Tianxie was instantly alarmed. That's right, he mustn't let his disciple be killed by this old man.

Where will we find someone who knows the Divine Illumination Scripture then?

With this thought in mind, Shan Tianxie stepped out of the room, found Ouyang Xiaoyue, and gave her his instructions.

"Activate the intelligence network within the valley to help me find the whereabouts of Iron Bone Ink Calyx - Mei Niansheng, and warn him to be careful of his disciple! Then, arrange a dinner invitation for him."

"Yes! Young Master!"

Although Ouyang Xiaoyue was somewhat surprised, when did the young master get involved with Mei Niansheng?

But this is clearly not something someone of her level should be asking; she should just do her job properly.

After agreeing, Ouyang Xiaoyue swayed her slender waist and went down to make the arrangements.

Just as Shan Tianxie finished making arrangements for Ouyang Xiaoyue, Gu Santong came out at that moment.

“Young Master Shan, if this matter succeeds, I, Gu Santong, will owe you an ever-growing favor.”

Gu Santong spoke of the matter seriously, but his expression remained normal, and there was even a hint of a mocking smile on his lips.

Dan Tianxie waved his hand and chuckled.

"Senior Gu, that's too kind of you. We're in the same boat now, so helping each other is only right."

Besides, I'll be helping you find a third Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom later, won't I?

Yes, Shan Tianxie hasn't told Gu Santong yet about getting the third Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.

I just told him that I would definitely present him with the third Tianxiang cardamom within a year!

Gu Santong understood the implication in Shan Tianxie's words, but he didn't care much, since his son had now recognized someone else as his boss.

After spending time together, Shan Tianxie found his temperament quite agreeable, and joining the Bliss Valley wasn't out of the question.

A few days later.

News came from Ouyang Xiaoyue's side that someone had seen Mei Niansheng near Qixia Town.

However, Mei Niansheng was not in good condition, and appeared to be injured, with an extremely pale face.

Upon hearing this news, Shan Tianxie cried out inwardly in dismay, realizing that the old man had clearly been betrayed by his disciple.

We need to hurry and make the most of every second!

So he immediately called on Gu Santong, Xiyu, Xia Xueyi and others to set off together for Qixia Town.

As for Cheng Shifei, it was because his ancient-style youthful aura was too overpowering that everyone strongly requested that he stay in Zuisheng Pavilion to properly practice martial arts.

Although Cheng Shifei is already quite old and has missed the best time to practice martial arts.

However, with a grandmaster like Gu Santong providing invaluable assistance, all problems are minor.

After Gu Santong exhausted his true energy to cleanse his tendons and marrow.

Cheng Shifei's progress in martial arts can only be described as terrifying. In just a few days, he has already reached the level of a second-rate master!

Seeing this progress, Gu Santong nodded repeatedly. As expected of his son, Gu Santong, look at his martial arts talent!

.........

After leaving the capital, Shan Tianxie and his group rode their horses at full speed, heading straight for Qixia Town.

As Shan Tianxie rode on his white horse, he looked at the scene before him and couldn't help but become interested.

Then I heard him softly begin to sing.

"The beauty of spring is not as good as a dream, a dream where the grass is fragrant."

You carry your dreams with you: blue skies, white clouds, green mountains, clear waters, and a gentle breeze blowing in the setting sun…

Xi Yu and Xia Xueyi listened in stunned silence, exchanging a glance.

He secretly thought to himself, "I never expected the young master to have such a talent."

But didn't I hear before that the young master won the championship by reciting a poem, "My elder brother, the Valley Master, taught me how to plant the flower of morality"?

Why are they singing songs now?

But you know what, it actually sounds pretty good.

Meanwhile, Gu Santong, standing to the side, was silently savoring the lyrics that Shan Tianxie had just sung.

"Though flowers bloom and fade, and change shape over a thousand years, I remain the same!"

After muttering to himself several times, Gu Santong suddenly seemed to have figured something out and burst into laughter, his voice echoing everywhere.

"Well said! I'm still the same person, I'm still the same person!"
