As soon as Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy entered Zhongyi City, they were stopped by a muscular man. The man was tall, muscular, with a face full of flesh, and looked ferocious.
He stood in front of the two of them, like a small mountain, blocking their way.
He crossed his arms over his chest and said in a deep voice: "Master of the Blood Sect! Master of the Dark Moon Pavilion! Our young master invites you two to go to the Wushuang Sect!" His voice was as loud as a bell, making people's ears buzz.
Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy exchanged a glance, each baffled. They'd barely entered Zhongyi City, barely had time to catch their breath, yet how had Young Master Wushuang already known about this? Could it be that Young Master Wushuang had spies in Nanyi City? The thought of this made both of them wary.
Dark Moon Fairy looked at the big man with a forced smile and said, "Oh? Your Master Wushuang is really well-informed! Brother Blood Shadow and I were just passing by here, how did we alarm your Master Wushuang?" There was a hint of teasing in her tone, and she was obviously dissatisfied with Master Wushuang's behavior.
The big man showed a hint of embarrassment on his face when he heard this, but he still said with a stiff upper lip: "The names of the two heroes are very famous in Zhongyi City! Everyone in the world knows your names!" As he spoke, he bowed to Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Enchantress with a very respectful attitude.
Hearing this, Dark Moon Fairy's lips curled up slightly, and a hint of pride flashed in her eyes. Although she said disdain, she was still very happy in her heart.
After all, being recognized and respected by others is an honor for any Jianghu person. However, Xueying had a calm expression, seemingly not caring about the false reputation.
Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy followed the big man to Wushuang Gate. As soon as they entered the gate, they saw a majestic and magnificent mansion. In front of the gate were two huge stone lions, which looked lifelike and demonstrated the momentum of Wushuang Gate.
After entering the Wushuang Gate, Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy followed the big man to a courtyard, where they saw a graceful and dignified man standing there. He was Young Master Wushuang.
The Wushuang Master was dressed in white, with a handsome face, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. A faint smile hung on the corner of his mouth, giving people a gentle and friendly feeling. He looked at them with a smile. His eyes revealed a kind of curiosity and appreciation.
Master Wushuang smiled and greeted them, inviting them to take a seat. "You two are truly renowned. Meeting you today, I can see you're truly worthy of your reputation," Master Wushuang said.
"Mr. Wushuang, thank you for your praise." Xueying replied calmly.
"I wonder what Master Wushuang wants us to do?" Dark Moon Fairy asked, looking at him calmly. Her voice was cold and low, with a hint of caution.
Young Master Wushuang smiled slightly, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes: "I just wanted to see what the leader of the killer sect that everyone in the world fears looks like. Now that I have seen him, I have fulfilled my wish." His tone was relaxed, but his eyes never left the two of them.
Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy exchanged a glance, their hearts secretly on edge. Though this peerless young master appeared gentle and refined, the aura he emanated from him gave them a sense of invisible pressure. They knew that this peerless young master was definitely not a simple figure.
"Since Master Wushuang has seen us, it's time for us to leave," Xueying said calmly, his gaze sweeping over Master Wushuang. His voice was calm and firm, revealing a sense of determination.
Young Master Wushuang was slightly taken aback, seemingly surprised that Xueying would be so quick to leave. He slowly stood up, a smile still on his face. "Are you in such a hurry to leave? I've prepared some wine and food. Why don't you stay and have a drink together?" He said, motioning to the maid next to him.
Two maids turned and came forward with wine and food, placing them on the table. Master Wushuang personally filled their glasses, then raised his glass and toasted to Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy, "Please, both of you!"
The expressions of Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy changed slightly, and they realized that this might be a Hongmen Banquet.
But facing the invitation of Master Wushuang, they couldn't refuse directly. After all, they didn't know where this Master Wushuang came from.
What's more, if you offend Master Wushuang easily on his territory, the consequences will be disastrous.
After a moment's hesitation, Blood Shadow finally picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Dark Moon Fairy frowned slightly, staring at Master Wushuang for a moment before finally picking up the wine glass and taking a sip.
Xueying said straight to the point: "Master Wushuang, we've also drunk this wine. Just tell me what's the matter!"
Young Master Wushuang shook his head slightly, signaling the maid beside him to pour more wine for the two of them. He said slowly, "The martial arts world has been in turmoil recently. I heard that you two are highly skilled in martial arts, so I specially invited you to discuss important matters with us."
Dark Moon Enchantress sneered: "Young Master, you are well-informed, but what does the affairs of the martial arts world have to do with us?" Her voice was cold and ruthless, as if she was indifferent to everything.
Young Master Wushuang smiled faintly, not caring about Dark Moon Fairy's attitude. He looked at Blood Shadow, a hint of deep meaning flashed in his eyes, and said, "Master of the Blood Sect, don't you want to rid the world of evil?"
Xueying was silent for a moment, with a trace of struggle in his eyes, but he finally nodded, indicating that he was willing to listen.
The corners of Master Wushuang's mouth curled up slightly as he continued, "Recently, some mysterious forces have appeared in the Jianghu. They act ruthlessly and cruelly. They are particularly skilled in the use of poison, and many innocent people have fallen victim to their murderous tactics. I would like to ask for your assistance in eradicating these evil forces and restoring peace to the Jianghu."
Dark Moon Fairy frowned and asked, "Who are these forces? Why are they looking for our help?"
Master Wushuang explained, "These forces are unidentified and operate in secret, so we currently know very little. But according to my investigation, they seem to be searching for something important, something that could bring great disaster to the entire martial arts world. These two, with their extraordinary skills, are the key to solving this problem."
Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy exchanged a glance, pondering inwardly. While they had their doubts about Master Wushuang's words, they weren't completely indifferent to the strife within the martial arts world. Perhaps this was also a good opportunity to get to know their opponent.
Finally, Blood Shadow agreed: "Alright, in that case, we will trust you for now. But if you find any deception, don't blame us for being rude."
Young Master Wushuang smiled and nodded, saying, "Don't worry, I will never let you down. I will reward you handsomely after the matter is resolved." As he spoke, he raised his glass and toasted the two of them.
Blood Shadow and Dark Moon Fairy also raised their glasses and drank them all. This banquet thus kicked off a turbulent period in the martial arts world...
