Urban Martial Saint

The monk stood at the scene, covered in blood, and swept his cold eyes over everyone present, saying loudly, ”Tell the Wanyan Zong, I will personally return to reclaim what the Wanyan family owes me. For every year they imprisoned me, I will kill an equal number of Wanyan family members. Not one more, not one less!”

After speaking, the monk went straight ahead and left Wanyan Manor with Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi. Dozens of people from the Wanyan family stood there, yet none dared to stop the monk at all. The monk’s strength was truly formidable; who would dare to obstruct him?

When Handsome Fatty Wang and the others came out earlier, the people of the Wanyan family were already there. They weren’t like Ye Qing, possessing strong power to escape. They could only hide in the shadows, hoping for a chance to escape. Unexpectedly, they witnessed such a scene here. Seeing the monk’s aggressive demeanor also left them stunned.

”Hey, let’s go!” Handsome Fatty Wang suddenly waved his hand, got up, and followed the monk from afar out of the area.

The crowd understood Handsome Fatty Wang’s intentions; he just wanted to follow behind the monk and ride the coattails of his prestige to get out. However, it wasn’t a bad idea; after all, the Wanyan family was intimidated by the monk and genuinely dared not take further action.

The Wanyan family watched helplessly as Handsome Fatty Wang and the others followed the monk and Baili Xi out of the courtyard, but no one dared to pursue. Earlier, the monk effortlessly killed the Second Elder; who among them would dare to act rashly, fearing they might share the Second Elder’s fate?

Handsome Fatty Wang and his group, being rather clever, followed the monk out of the Wanyan Manor and quickly found a way to slip away. Now, with the Wanyan family intimidated by the monk, they didn’t dare to pursue; it was the best time to escape.

The monk, taking Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi, kept walking until they exited the boundaries of Jin Village. Seeing Jin Village growing further and further away, Baili Xi sighed softly and said, ”For so many years, I never thought I could escape the Wanyan family’s dungeon. It seems this world is about to fall into chaos once again.”

”Why do you say that?” the monk asked curiously.

Baili Xi looked at the monk and said, ”The Wanyan family has been recuperating for so many years, dominating the Northern Desert, but rarely feuding with those outside. Do you know why?”

”Why?” the monk inquired.

”Because they have always been waiting for an opportunity...” Baili Xi gazed at the sky where the Killing Wolf TriStar shone brightly and said softly, ”And now, that opportunity has come. Even the Wanyan Manor of the Wanyan family has been intruded upon. Imagine how chaotic the world has become?”

The monk frowned slightly, remained silent for a moment, then said, ”What does it matter if the world falls into chaos? The Wolf Monk was born in chaos, thrives in chaos, battles in chaos. Even if the world is chaotic, I can still roam the realm. Unfortunately, Wanyan Hongfeng died too early; the grudge of having imprisoned me for so many years can only be avenged on his descendants!”

It turns out that the monk was not captured by Prince Wan Yan but by Wanyan Hongfeng. However, who exactly was this Wanyan Hongfeng, to possess such power? It’s important to note that the monk’s strength, compared to Prince Wan Yan, is only greater!

”Chaos among the common people is nothing but a great disaster!” Baili Xi sighed sorrowfully and said softly, ”It seems the time my master spoke of has come!”

”When did your master say that?” the monk asked curiously.

Baili Xi smiled slightly, looked at the monk, and said, ”You will know soon enough. Master, I am grateful for the life-saving grace. But now, I have other matters to attend to. After today’s farewell, who knows when we shall meet again!”

”I’m not someone destined for a short life; you, the great physician, won’t find it easy to die either,” the monk said. ”As long as we don’t die, we’ll meet again.”

”That’s true. The Buddhist Sect values fate. You and I have been locked up together for so many years; it is fate,” Baili Xi nodded and said. ”By the way, master, where are you planning to go now?”

”I initially intended to stay here and take revenge, but after thinking it over, I decided to first go back to Xiaolin Temple,” the monk replied. ”I’ve been imprisoned here for countless years; to be honest, I am somewhat nostalgic for Xiaolin Temple now!”

If someone else were here listening to this, they would surely be shocked. It seems the monk has really been imprisoned by the Wanyan family for a long time; he doesn’t even know Xiaolin Temple no longer exists.

”Very well!” Baili Xi nodded and said, ”In that case, we will part ways here. May we meet again if fate allows!”

The monk waved to Baili Xi and said, ”You lost your Inner Strength because of Wanyan Hongfeng’s harm. Are you sure you’ll be okay getting back alone?”

Baili Xi chuckled and said, ”For a doctor, having Inner Strength is not critical.”

The monk looked at Baili Xi and didn’t say anything further. He was well aware of Baili Xi’s medical skills. The saying goes, the more skilled a person’s medical abilities, the more proficient they are with poisons. Baili Xi is precisely like this. If the Wanyan family really dared to pursue him, it would likely be more dangerous than pursuing the monk himself.

At this point, the monk and Baili Xi parted ways. From now on, the once-missing Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi, who had disappeared for thirty years, would reappear in Jianghu. And that monk, given that he was affiliated with Xiaolin Temple, his identity was also clear. It should be known that Shijia had previously mentioned to Ye Qing that he had three junior brothers, and only the four of them from Xiaolin Temple were still alive. His other two junior brothers were the Joyous Monk and the Bloody Monk. Given that this monk was from Xiaolin Temple, it was obvious that he was Shijia’s fourth junior brother.

In fact, judging from the monk’s skills, he was undoubtedly Shijia’s junior brother. It should be noted that Shijia’s junior brothers were each stronger than the last. Especially the Bloody Monk, who practically reached the realm of the Five Uniques, extremely formidable. As for this monk, although not as strong as the Bloody Monk, he was absolutely above Prince Wan Yan and others, which is also quite terrifying.

Baili Xi, along with Shijia’s junior brothers, all appearing in Jianghu together. The world is truly becoming more chaotic!

And all of this, Ye Qing did not witness. The Wanyan family had all begun to act, so naturally, Ye Qing wouldn’t stay there any longer. He had already left Jin Village.

According to Ye Qing’s estimate, the people from Prince Wan Yan were certainly preparing to return. However, at the speed of Prince Wan Yan, the earliest they could arrive in Tianzhao City would be in the afternoon. Therefore, Ye Qing directly rushed to Tianzhao City, intending to buy a ticket on the earliest flight out. No matter where to, leaving Tianzhao City and the Northern Desert is the safest option. Otherwise, once Prince Wan Yan returns, he certainly wouldn’t be able to escape.

However, when Ye Qing reached the airport, he discovered, much to his dismay, that his plan to fly out of Tianzhao City was nearly impossible. Outside the airport, more than a hundred people dressed in black were vigilantly watching the passing pedestrians, clearly all from the Wanyan family, likely stationed there to prevent anyone from flying out.

Though Ye Qing was competent, he had enough self-awareness. With over a hundred people surrounding this area, he couldn’t possibly cause much of a ripple on his own. So he didn’t even enter the airport but rather returned to the city.

At this time, it was still before dawn, and Ye Qing didn’t go to the train station or bus station. Since the Wanyan family blocked the airport, the train and bus stations would probably be no better. It seemed that the best option was to drive himself out of Tianzhao City. No matter how strong the Wanyan family’s power was, they couldn’t block every exit road out of the city, could they?

Ye Qing wandered around the parking lot under the hotel and stole a car, driving away immediately. He had thoroughly observed the exit route from Tianzhao City before coming, so he was quite familiar with the road here now.

In less than twenty minutes, Ye Qing drove out of Tianzhao City. But at the city exit, the road ahead was also blocked by several people conducting thorough checks on passing vehicles.

This situation caught Ye Qing by surprise. He hadn’t anticipated that the Wanyan family’s power in Tianzhao City would be so strong. In such a short period, the Wanyan family had blocked all exit methods out of the city. It seemed sneaking out was basically impossible. However, fortunately, there weren’t many people ahead, so Ye Qing simply drove forward, and as he approached the blockage, he suddenly floored the gas pedal, accelerating past them.

The Wanyan family members, upon hearing an unusual car sound, immediately tried to intercept Ye Qing’s car. But the result was predictable; Ye Qing charged at full speed, and the Wanyan family couldn’t stop him, as he sped past them. Frantically, the Wanyan people tried to call their family elders, but Ye Qing was already too far for them to intercept.

After leaving Tianzhao City, Ye Qing drove directly to the nearest city, switched to another car, changed direction, and hurried to another city. After switching through two locations, there were far fewer Wanyan people, giving Ye Qing the chance to reach an airport, where he bought a ticket to the South. By noon, he boarded a flight and left the Northern Desert.

Sitting on the plane, Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. Prince Wan Yan was surely on his way back to the Northern Desert. If Ye Qing hadn’t managed to fly out of the Northern Desert, once Prince Wan Yan returned, he would be in danger. Fortunately, now that he was on the plane, Ye Qing was finally safe. As long as he left the Northern Desert, Prince Wan Yan’s reach couldn’t extend that far.

However, though this trip to the Northern Desert left Ye Qing with regrets. After all, his purpose here was to find Huangfu Ziyu. Yet there was no trace of Huangfu Ziyu. Despite having taken the key to the Gold Silk Armor, Ye Qing’s heart was still empty; he worried even more about Huangfu Ziyu’s situation. It had been so long without any news of her; who knew what had become of her!
