Urban Martial Saint

Hearing this, Xu Cunxiao’s expression changed again. He suddenly realized what Ye Qing’s plan was!

It turned out that Ye Qing had been countering plots with plots all along, making him believe that his plan had succeeded. In reality, Snake was just feigning death, and he had step by step fallen into Ye Qing’s plan. He thought he had everything under control, but in reality, he was the one being controlled, and he was still feeling proud of himself!

”Ye Qing, you’ve got guts!” Xu Cunxiao gritted his teeth and spat out these words, angrily looking at the people from Sha Men, his eyebrows deeply furrowed.

Now, he and Mr. Wu, along with the others, facing just the people from Sha Men, they had no hope of escaping. Adding Ye Qing and the people from seven Sects of Snake Form Gate, whether they could escape with their lives was an unknown!

”Xu Cunxiao, no need to look any further,” Cui Yu saw Xu Cunxiao’s thoughts and said, ”Tonight, none of you are going to escape!”

Xu Cunxiao said nothing, just slowly turned his head to look around at the people of Sha Men, seeming to consider how he might escape. However, people from Sha Men had already blocked all the exits, he was trapped and couldn’t escape even if he grew wings.

The bug was still transmitting the conversations of the people from Snake Form Gate. The fact that Snake was not dead shocked everyone there, and the members of the Snake Form Gate gathered around him, asking what had exactly happened.

”All this was pre-arranged by Ye Qing,” Snake smiled and said: ”That day, when our thirteen brothers were captured, I actually thought it was Ye Qing’s doing. The next day when their bodies were found, there was a lot of evidence on them that linked their deaths to Ye Qing. Furthermore, our people found out that it was very likely that our thirteen brothers died at Ye Qing’s Splendid Gold and Jade, and it seemed possible Ye Qing was destroying evidence. So, I got hot-headed and took people straight there to seek revenge on Ye Qing. Once there, I indeed found bloodstains that resembled a crime scene, which infuriated me further, and I went straight to confront Ye Qing.”

At this, Snake gave a bitter laugh and continued, ”But how could our people match Ye Qing? Fortunately, Ye Qing didn’t really want to deal with us; he pretended to fight with me but actually threw me into a storehouse and made two bets with me!”

”A bet? What bet?” someone from the Snake Form Gate asked curiously.

Snake said, ”Ye Qing told me that Snake Form Gate was definitely being manipulated, with eight or nine out of ten people around me possibly bought off. He made two bets with me. The first one, that the Snake Form Gate definitely had bugs installed, and someone was monitoring my every move. The second, that many in the Snake Form Gate were bought off and would persuade me to strike against Ye Qing.”

Everyone looked at each other, and Song Yuanwu said, ”Did you agree to bet with him then?”

”I had no choice but to bet!” Snake looked helplessly at Ye Qing and smiled: ”After fighting with them, I realized that our people from the Snake Form Gate were no match. If we continued, we would just die there without taking any revenge. Besides, Ye Qing bet that if he was wrong, he would let me deal with him however I wanted. I thought since we couldn’t beat him, why not make a bet? Moreover, I myself was somewhat doubtful, so I took our people and left.”

”And then?” Song Yuanwu asked urgently.

”Well, he won, of course!” Snake said, ”Ye Qing gave me a device that could detect bugs; it would emit a red light whenever it approached the range of a bug. When I took it back and walked around the yard, it turned out our Snake Form Gate had bugs installed everywhere, I could hear everything I said clearly!”

Song Yuanwu’s brow instantly furrowed. Someone daring to do such a thing in the Snake Form Gate was outright challenging the dignity of the Snake Form Gate. Such actions were absolutely intolerable!

”What happened next?” another person from Snake Form Gate asked eagerly, with everyone else also eagerly looking at Snake, wanting to know what happened next.

”When I saw those bugs, I knew that Ye Qing was probably right, I was being used. However, the next thing made me completely sure!” Snake paused, then continued, ”At that time, several of our people from Snake Form Gate approached me, urging me to attack Ye Qing’s orphanage to threaten Ye Qing for revenge. At that moment, I knew what Ye Qing said was right; a lot of people around me had been bought by Ye Qing. These people were deliberately trying to escalate the situation, wanting our Snake Form Gate to completely turn against Ye Qing.”

”At that time when these people were urging me, I really wanted to expose them. Luckily, I had an extra thought and made them leave, saying I needed to think it over. Actually, I was alone in the room, sending a text to Ye Qing, telling him about this!” Snake smiled and said, ”Then, Ye Qing made the plan for me to feign death, to deceive everyone.”

Everyone looked at Ye Qing with surprise on their faces. Ye Qing’s meticulous thinking and deep strategies were indeed beyond everyone’s expectations.

”This feigning death, what exactly was it for?” Song Yuanwu wondered.

”Of course, it’s to draw out those who want to harm our Snake Form Gate!” Snake said, ”Ye Qing mentioned that it should be the people from Western Province, right?”

Ye Qing nodded, looking at the courtyard ahead and smiled, ”These people, they are in the courtyard right now. Sect Leader Song, it seems that they haven’t been eying your Snake Form Gate for just a day or two. This plan, who knows how long it’s been in the making, but it’s to make use of your people from Snake Form Gate!”

Song Yuanwu furrowed his brows, speaking solemnly, ”Our Snake Form Gate has no grievances with them, why do they come after us?”

Ye Qing replied, ”Using someone else’s knife to kill does not require enmity, just usefulness!”

Song Yuanwu’s expression grew colder, and he declared coldly, ”Hmph, although my Snake Form Gate has fallen, it is not something anyone can just use!”

Song Yuanwu’s voice was very cold, clearly infuriated. This time, Xu Cunxiao failed to make him go all out against Ye Qing, but now it brought Wang Tian’an from Western Province another formidable foe!

”Right, Father, our Snake Form Gate has a lot of people, and we need to deal with them as well!” Snake spoke solemnly, ”When I was texting Ye Qing, he told me. Within our Snake Form Gate, those who are doubtful about attacking the orphanage definitely haven’t been bought. Those who outright support attacking the orphanage, most likely 80 to 90 percent of them have been bought. I observed carefully, many in our Snake Form Gate had been bribed. These people, they cannot stay in the Snake Form Gate!”

”Of course!” Song Yuanwu said solemnly, ”After this matter is resolved, we’ll deal with these people properly. Hmph, even if only one person is left in our Snake Form Gate, I absolutely will not keep those with ulterior motives!”

All members of the Snake Form Gate were startled, Song Yuanwu has always been a man of his word. It seems that this time quite a few people from the Snake Form Gate will be expelled!

Suddenly, a member of the Snake Form Gate asked Ye Qing, ”Right, how did you guess that our Snake Form Gate had been bugged, and moreover, that so many people had been bought?”

”The plan of these people from the Western Province had too many leaks, and to prevent your people from discovering these leaks, the best way was to bribe most of them.” Ye Qing smiled lightly and said, ”As for the bugging of your place, that was simple. I had sent someone over here before, they discovered the presence of bugs.”

”Damn, so you knew it all along!” Snake suddenly widened his eyes and said, ”No wonder you dared to bet with me!”

Ye Qing smiled faintly and said, ”Would I dare gamble with my life if I wasn’t absolutely sure?”

”That’s also true.” Snake nodded and said, ”Since you knew about the bugs earlier on, why didn’t you directly expose the people who wanted to trap you? Why wait until now?”

”These people are elusive, I must be absolutely sure to completely encircle them, otherwise I cannot make a move lightly.” Ye Qing said, ”To be absolutely sure, the best way is to make them believe their plan has succeeded. Thus, tonight is the best opportunity. The seniors of Snake Form Gate came to settle accounts with me, they will definitely be here waiting to watch the drama, to control the situation at a critical moment. Therefore, they will definitely be here tonight, I arranged this scene specifically to draw them all out here!”

Song Yuanwu and the others looked towards the courtyard ahead, everyone’s brows furrowed. At this point, everything was clear, it was definitely the people in the courtyard ahead who intentionally created all this, aiming to incite enmity between the Snake Form Gate and Ye Qing.

”Come on, let’s go take a look!” Song Yuanwu waved his hand and said solemnly, ”I want to see who is so bold, daring to use such despicable means against my Snake Form Gate!”

All members of the Snake Form Gate shouted and followed Song Yuanwu out. The other six sects also followed suit. These people shared honor and disgrace together; the affairs of the Snake Form Gate were also their affairs!

The crowd walked out of the grand courtyard of the Snake Form Gate, and the disciples of the Snake Form Gate outside immediately surrounded them. These disciples had no idea about what happened inside the courtyard and thought that Ye Qing had been dealt with. However, seeing Ye Qing walk out unharmed with the people of the Snake Form Gate surprised everyone. But when they saw Snake swaggering out behind them, everyone’s eyes widened, and their mouths hung open in shock.

”What are you looking at? Am I that easy to kill?” Snake bragged proudly, ”I was just playing dead!”

The crowd was even more astonished; these people never dreamed that Snake was actually not dead!
