"So, you chose to betray Peng Lai?" Natasha looked at Ip Man in front of her, frowning as the reason for choosing betrayal for the sake of power was a cliché one.
Faced with Natasha's questioning, Ip Man remained expressionless and seemed to fall silent.
"It doesn't matter if it's betrayal. He just made a choice," a third voice sounded in the martial arts hall. It was Sky Emperor, dressed in a black robe and wearing a pale mask. He looked at Natasha, who was looking as if she was facing a great enemy, and said, "Because Penglai couldn't give him the power he wanted, but Jiu You could."
"Sky Emperor!"
[Reputation points from Natasha Romanoff +300]
Natasha was shocked by the appearance of the figure wearing the pale mask.
The situation had developed beyond her expectations, and she hadn't expected Sky Emperor to appear here.
As she gazed at the figure before her in the pale mask, Natasha maintained a steady expression, but her hand had quietly slipped into her pocket and pressed the emergency button without hesitation.
Natasha's small movement couldn't escape Sky Emperor's eyes, but he didn't reveal it and allowed her to carry on.
"Contact the Captain immediately!"
Inside SHIELD, Nick Fury saw the alert from Natasha and almost instantly reacted.
"Tell him that Romanoff is in danger."
.....
"Sky Emperor... my lord." Ip Man hesitated for a moment as he looked at the figure of the Sky Emperor, before bowing his head in respect and taking out the seal he had stolen from Penglai -- a deep brown porcelain jar.
"Is this the legendary tool used by Peng Lai to seal Heavenly Demons?" Natasha looked at the object that Ip Man had taken out, and even though the situation they were in was urgent, a look of obvious surprise couldn't help but appear on her face.
Obviously, the seal that Ip Man had brought out was vastly different from what she had expected.
In her mind, something that Peng Lai valued so much and had spoken of its danger multiple times, even if it wasn't as important as the Cube, would still have some special features. But she never thought that it would look so 'ordinary'.
"Very good."
Sky Emperor's tone finally revealed a hint of fluctuation as he scanned the jar in Ip Man's hand.
"Master Roshi, Drunken Sword Immortal! If you don't come out soon, the seal will really be destroyed."
However, at this moment, Ip Man, who had been bowing his head respectfully, suddenly spoke up and anxiously shouted.
"What?!"
Upon hearing Ip Man's words, Natasha's expression, which had been solemn because of Sky Emperor's appearance, changed again. The development of the situation in front of her even made her, as a top agent of SHIELD, unable to react.

And as Ip Man finished speaking, a wine gourd, which was somewhat familiar to Natasha, fell from the sky and landed inside the martial arts school.
Immediately afterwards, the Drunken Sword Immortal and the Turtle Immortal, who had been seen before, appeared on the wine gourd.
"Hahaha, well done, Ip Man my boy."
The Turtle Immortal stroked his beard with a smile on his face and nodded in praise at Ip Man.
"Hoo~"
Seeing the Drunken Sword Immortal finally arriving, Ip Man breathed a sigh of relief and complained, "Master Roshi, you're late."
"Isn't it all Old Drunk's fault?" Facing Ip Man's complaints, Master Roshi scratched his head in embarrassment and pointed to the side, blaming the Drunken Sword Immortal, "I clearly told him to come earlier, but because of his drinking, we didn't arrive until the last moment..."
"Are you sure it's my fault?" Belching loudly, the Drunken Sword Immortal manipulated his gourd to shrink while sneering, "Who was it that saw a woman delayed us, because you wanted to follow her?"
"I just saw you drinking, so I relaxed a bit and looked at the pretty lady to relieve my stress."
"If I wanted to drink, I can do it anytime, anywhere, without you bothering me."
"Old Drunk, you're unreasonable."
"Old Turtle, you're an incorrigible scoundrel. Don't drag me into your mess."
Looking at the suddenly quarreling Master Roshi and Drunken Sword Immortal, Natasha's expression was a bit subtle. She turned to Ip Man on the other side, only to see the familiar helplessness on his face.
"Master Roshi, Master Yixi, now is not the time to argue."
"It seems that I have been negligent." Facing the noisy Master Roshi and Drunken Sword Immortal, Sky Emperor, who had been silent all along, finally spoke, "All of this, including the so-called betrayal, was actually a trap?" As he spoke, Sky Emperor's gaze under the mask turned to the jar in Ip Man's hand, "However, I didn't expect that in order to lure me out, you guys would be willing to use the genuine seal as bait."
"As they say, sometimes you have to sacrifice your pawns to catch the king."
Stopping the argument with the Drunken Sword Immortal, Master Roshi turned to Sky Emperor and spoke with his hands behind his back, "If we didn't use this seal as bait, how could we have lured such a big fish from Jiu You like you?"
"Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Swinging the gourd in his hand and taking a sip of wine, the drunken sword Master Yixi controlled the flying sword on his back with a spell, speaking in a deep voice to the Sky Emperor, "Resolve the matter in front of us quickly, and let's go back to drinking."
"If it could be resolved, I would have already done so."
Compared to the confidence Master Yixi, Master Roshi was clearly not as optimistic.
"Hehehe," as expected, facing the two immortals from Peng Lai, Sky Emperor suddenly burst into a low laugh, "Since that's the case, have you prepared yourselves to be swallowed by a big fish?"
[Divine Dragon Technique]!
As Sky Emperor spoke, his arm, which was originally wrapped in a black robe, suddenly turned into a sharp dragon claw covered in scales. Immediately after, a huge suction force came from his hand and instantly grabbed the seal in Ip Man's hand.
