Urban Martial Saint

Listening to Fire Sang girl’s words, Ye Qing felt even more miserable. He desperately signaled to Fire Sang girl with his eyes, hoping she wouldn’t go to her death.

Fire Sang girl smiled gently, suddenly leaned on Ye Qing’s shoulder, and softly said, ”Big Brother, if I weren’t such an ugly person, if I could be like a normal person, I would very much hope to stay by your side with my sister. Even if I were just your maid, it would be worth it.”

The life of the Miao People was uncivilized, and so was marriage and love. In the Miao Borderlands, polygamy was very common. So, for Miao People, a man having several women was not a big deal. Although Ye Qing had Huangfu Ziyu by his side, in Fire Sang girl’s heart, she still wanted to stay by Ye Qing’s side, even if it was just as a concubine. Because, in her heart, Ye Qing was the best man in the world, and he was also the first man she ever liked from the depths of her unconfident heart.

It’s just a pity that she was an ugly person, she was not a normal person. So, she could only become the sacrificial victim for Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu, she could only sacrifice herself to fulfill these two people. And this, was her own choice!

”Alright, it’s time to go!” The Gu God came over, gently patted Fire Sang girl’s shoulder, and said, ”I can only suppress the Twin Life Gu for a very short period. You must reach the Gu Mother’s Sacred Body beside the Gu Storage Cave before that. Otherwise, it will be too late!”

Hearing this, Ye Qing’s eyes were filled with urgency, he repeatedly signaled to Fire Sang girl with his eyes. However, Fire Sang girl only gave him a mournful smile, waved to him and Huangfu Ziyu, and softly said, ”Big Brother, you and Sister, take care.”

Although her face was still full of sores like pustules, this smile had an indescribable poignant beauty. Watching Fire Sang girl gradually fade into the distance, Ye Qing’s heart felt like it was being pricked by needles, waves of pain, so intense that it was unbearable.

A long while passed until Fire Sang girl’s figure could no longer be seen. Ye Qing slowly closed his eyes, and a tear still welled up from his eyes. Whether it was pity for this woman or the touching feeling in his heart, he only felt an overwhelming sense of exhaustion throughout his body.

On the other side, Fire Sang girl walked alone to the outside of the Gu Storage Cave. Looking at the pitch-black, deep cave, the girl wasn’t very afraid inside. Having endured various humiliations since childhood, having seen the warmth and coldness of the world, having tasted the bitterness of the world, any unknown and darkness were not terrifying to her. In fact, she had long thought of going to die to end this miserable remaining life. And this time, being able to die for Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu, she felt it was worth it. Perhaps, if she hadn’t met Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu, she would never have had this feeling in her life, never had this feeling of being a person.

Standing outside the Gu Storage Cave, taking a deep breath, Fire Sang girl looked back at the Zhenmu Palace at the mountain’s base, her lips curling into a slight smile. She didn’t hesitate much, turned around, and resolutely walked into this Gu Storage Cave.

The Gu God had already told her the location of the Gu Mother’s Sacred Body, now she only needed to walk to that place. Where the Golden Silkworm Gu was located, even if all the Gu Insects in the Miao Borderlands were added together, they would not be able to escape. Of course, once she went in, she would have no chance of coming out alive.

Fire Sang girl didn’t feel much fear inside, walked along the cave path, and finally at the end of the cave, she found the location the Gu God had mentioned. Fire Sang girl walked over, gently turned a mechanism on the stone wall, and indeed, a pitch-black cave appeared on the stone wall ahead.

Fire Sang girl walked into this cave, but was shocked to find that it was actually a much larger cave, far bigger than the outside cave. However, while the outside cave was crawling with Gu Insects, there wasn’t a single Gu Insect inside here. Even though Fire Sang girl had opened this cave, not a single Gu Insect at the entrance dared to crawl inside, as if they were wary of this place.

In fact, this was normal. This was the place where the Gu Mother’s Sacred Body was located, guarded by the Golden Silkworm Gu, which Gu Insect would dare to crawl into this cave?

Fire Sang girl turned to close the cave door, slowly walked forward, and stopped in front of a platform about three feet high. She looked around, there was nothing special about the surroundings, just this platform. And this platform, was the location the Gu God had told her about, telling her to sit on this platform and do nothing else.

Fire Sang girl took a deep breath, climbed onto this platform, and slowly sat on it. She knew that what followed would be the time to wait for death. Yet at this moment, her heart was surprisingly calm, her extremely ugly face wearing a gratifying smile as she slowly lay down on the platform, recalling everything after meeting Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu. Although there weren’t many things, they were enough for her to ponder over for the rest of her life.

Here, not long after Fire Sang girl lay on the platform, a shadow crept up to the outside of the Gu Storage Cave. This person was masked, making it impossible to see his face. He looked around to make sure no one was there, and then walked straight into this Gu Storage Cave.

This black shadow seemed to be very familiar with the situation inside the Gu Storage Cave. He bypassed several places, walked straight to the mechanism, opened the cave, and quietly went inside. As he walked far away, when he reached near the platform, he saw the Fire Sang girl lying on that platform. However, at this moment, she seemed to be in a coma, lying there motionless.

Seeing this, a cold smile flashed in the eyes of the masked man. He walked over slowly, just about to reach the edge of the platform when a voice with a cold sneer suddenly came from behind: ”They say the Miaojiang Gu God is benevolent, but upon seeing him today, he’s no more than this!”

The masked man turned his head sharply and saw a man standing not far behind him. If Ye Qing were here, he would surely be shocked, because this middle-aged man was none other than Xiang Bu Sheng, the Dong Master of Xiang Yun Dong!

Upon seeing Xiang Bu Sheng, a look of panic clearly flashed in the masked man’s eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

”Xiang Bu Sheng, I didn’t expect you to also have thoughts about the Twin Life Gu!” The masked man simply removed his mask, revealing his true face, which was the Gu God.

Unfortunately, the Fire Sang girl was unconscious at the moment, otherwise she would certainly be shocked. She originally thought the Gu God sincerely wanted to help Ye Qing and sincerely wanted to save Ye Qing. But now it seems that everything was unexpected. This Gu God turned out to be harboring malicious intentions!

”With the Ten Thousand Gu Festival approaching, all the powerful Gu Masters from Miaojiang have come, and no one’s Gu Insects can claim to have a guaranteed victory. Only the Twin Life Gu, as long as the Golden Silkworm Gu does not appear, has no rivals!” Xiang Bu Sheng looked at the Gu God with a faint smile and said, ”It’s not just me; even you, or any Gu Master from Miaojiang, wouldn’t want to miss such an opportunity, right? Huo Lie is desperately trying to bring those two people back, for what? Isn’t it for the Twin Life Gu? You have served two terms as Gu God, and of course, you understand the feeling of having power in your hands. You certainly do not want to step down. So, I concluded that you would have thoughts about the Twin Life Gu!”

”How did you know I would come here?” the Gu God asked in a deep voice.

”This is actually quite simple...” Xiang Bu Sheng laughed and said, ”Gu God, when I first brought that Han person to you, I was already waiting for you to take action. Sure enough, you didn’t disappoint me; you truly are a greedy person. Upon learning about the Twin Life Gu, you didn’t hesitate to offend the Huo Family to keep that Han person. Afterward, you set up such a situation, forcing that Han person to come to you for help to dissolve the Twin Life Gu. In this way, you could let them come to this Gu Storage Cave to find the Gu Mother’s Sacred Body. In fact, the Gu Mother has been gone for hundreds of years, and there’s no such thing as an undying and indestructible item in this world, even the Golden Silkworm Gu. In this cave, there’s no relic of the Golden Silkworm Gu at all, only the aura of the Golden Silkworm Gu. However, the aura of the Golden Silkworm Gu is strong enough, strong enough to suppress the Twin Life Gu. You let her come here because you wanted to use the aura of the Golden Silkworm Gu to suppress the Twin Life Gu, and then use your unique method to enable the Twin Life Gu to become yours. Looking around all of Miaojiang, where else could such Gu Insects like the Twin Life Gu change hands? If you don’t come here, where else would you go?”

This Xiang Bu Sheng, as the Dong Master, does not have much less knowledge of Gu Technique than the Gu God. He is very clear about what the Gu God wants to do and what the Gu God is thinking. Therefore, the Gu God cannot deceive him at all.

The Gu God stared at Xiang Bu Sheng and said in a deep voice, ”And what about you? Have you also come for the Twin Life Gu?”

”Of course, I also want the Twin Life Gu!” Xiang Bu Sheng looked at the Gu God’s turning cold face and smiled, ”It’s just a pity that there is only one Twin Life Gu, and I’m not yet a match for you, the Gu God. So, I have long since given up on the idea of taking the Twin Life Gu!”

This statement made the Gu God breathe a sigh of relief, and he asked curiously, ”Then why are you here? Surely it’s not just to watch how I extract the Twin Life Gu, right?”

”Of course not. I’m not that idle.” Xiang Bu Sheng smiled slightly and said, ”Gu God, I am here mainly to ask you for something.”

”What thing?” the Gu God asked in curiosity.

Xiang Bu Sheng smiled faintly and said, ”If you take the Twin Life Gu, looking at the entire Miaojiang, no one will be your opponent. In this way, you can steadily continue in your position as the Gu God and command all of Miaojiang. Moreover, you should also have thoughts about the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, right, since that Seven-Star Ancient Sword is also one of the keys to the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates. If you take the Twin Life Gu, your goal will no longer be just this small Miaojiang; you will definitely aim at the whole world. The future of you, Gu God, is boundless. If you have a chance to enter the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, you will surely become a supreme powerhouse, commanding the entire Huaxia, leading the Miao people to endless glory, a glory that none of the previous Gu Mothers ever achieved. Your name, Gu God, will surely spread throughout the world and be praised by the Miao people for generations to come!”

Hearing these words from Xiang Bu Sheng, the Gu God showed no joy but instead was even more vigilant. He asked in a deep voice, ”What exactly do you want?”
