Urban Martial Saint

Seeing the three people’s puzzled expressions, the short man frowned slightly and said, ”Is there a problem?”

One man said anxiously, ”No, senior brother, North Mang Mountain, that’s... that’s where Master is. Master hasn’t been unsealed yet. If they go to North Mang Mountain and disturb Master, what... what should we do?”

The short man said coldly, ”Hmph, haven’t you ever thought about why Master chose North Mang Mountain as the place for his seal?”

”Why?” the three asked in unison, curious.

”You’ll understand in the future. For now, stop talking nonsense and immediately notify Third Brother!” The short man paused and continued in a deep voice, ”Also, where’s that Bloody Monk now?”

”He didn’t go to North Hong, he went to Seventh Senior Brother’s place.” A man paused slightly before saying, ”We’ve already contacted Seventh Brother and asked him to come back first. However, Seventh Brother said that the living corpse over there is almost fully cultivated, so he hasn’t left.”

”Tell him to come back immediately!” The short man said in a deep voice, ”Remember, if you encounter this Bloody Monk, do not engage him head-on!”

”Why?” The three were even more surprised, and one person said anxiously, ”Senior Brother, this monk has killed the most of our people, can’t we avenge ourselves?”

”The Bloody Monk is from Xiaolin Temple. Master once said that there’s a monk named Shijia in Xiaolin Temple, who’s very powerful, and we should try not to provoke them,” the short man said in a deep voice. ”It’s not difficult to kill this Bloody Monk, but Shijia, that old bald donkey, is not easy to deal with. Before Master is unsealed, we should avoid making major enemies. The matter of this Bloody Monk will be dealt with after Master is unsealed. Once Master is unsealed, this Bloody Monk and Shijia will be nothing. The urgent task now is to unseal Master first, everything else can be dealt with later!”

The three nodded repeatedly, though they didn’t know who Shijia was, what the short man said made sense. Before the Corpse Ghost Dragon is unsealed, it’s best not to provoke overly strong opponents; that’s the most crucial matter.

One man said, ”Since that’s the case, I’ll contact Third Brother and Seventh Brother right away!”

This man hurried out to make a phone call, leaving the other two men standing beside the short man, one of whom whispered, ”Senior Brother, should we go to North Mang?”

”We cannot go!” the short man replied decisively.

The man said urgently, ”But, Master is still there, and if Ye Qing goes, could it be bad for Master?”

The short man said coldly, ”Hmph, since I’ve sent those three people to North Mang, I know what I’m doing. You two, if you don’t want to come back, you can go to North Mang with them!”

The icy voice of the short man made the two shiver, and they shook their heads in unison. Since the short man said this, how could they dare go to North Mang? But what exactly is in North Mang that makes the short man so fearful?

”How many living corpses have we cultivated now?” the short man asked in a deep voice.

”We already have seven pairs, but lately, the living corpses we’ve been cultivating have mostly been interrupted by the Bloody Monk, and almost none have been successfully cultivated in recent days,” one man paused slightly and said in a low voice, ”Senior Brother, if this continues, I’m afraid it won’t be easy to cultivate ten pairs of living corpses.”

”Hmph, the Bloody Monk is only one person; how many of our people can he kill!” The short man said in a deep voice, ”Deploy another thirty sorcerers to fully cultivate the living corpses. By the fifteenth of next month, I want ten pairs of living corpses to have been cultivated to invite Master out of the mountains!”

”By the fifteenth of next month?” The two were stunned for a moment, and one asked, ”Why must it be by the fifteenth of next month?”

”The fifteenth of next month is when Medicine King Mountain in Huaxia will open; inside is the ultimate legacy left by Divine Doctor An Shiping,” the short man said in a deep voice. ”Even if Master can come out of the mountains, his lifespan is almost at its end. Before we find a new way to extend his life, it’s best to first go to Medicine King Mountain to find the Life-Extending Elixir left by An Shiping and increase Master’s lifespan a bit!”

”I see.” The two suddenly understood, and one person said, ”But does it have to be Master going out? Can’t we find the Life-Extending Elixir ourselves?”

”How can that be the same?” the short man said in a deep voice, ”What kind of place is Medicine King Mountain? It’s where Divine Doctor An Shiping lived and holds his legacy. Medicine King Mountain has been closed for so many years, and this time it is opening, it will surely stir up a storm in Huaxia. At that time, who knows how many experts in Huaxia will enter the mountain. We sorcerers are already not favored in Huaxia; if we go to Medicine King Mountain alone, we might provoke the experts in Huaxia to join forces against us. Then, we might suffer severe casualties even before we can collect the medicine. It’s best to invite Master out; with him, those so-called experts in Huaxia are nothing!”

The two nodded repeatedly and said, ”Senior Brother, you are thorough. If Master can find the Life-Extending Elixir in Medicine King Mountain this time, you will be credited with great merit. At that time, Master will definitely reward you heavily!”

Hearing this, the short man couldn’t help but look pleased and said, ”You all can rest assured and work for me. If this time we can successfully help Master enter the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, I will definitely not mistreat you. Master said, as long as he can uncover the secrets within the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, he can increase your lifespans. At that time, living two or three hundred years will be no problem!”

The two were overjoyed, repeatedly thanking the short man. The short man, growing more and more pleased, turned to gaze at the distant horizon and said, ”These so-called martial artists of Huaxia are not worth mentioning. Once Master is unsealed, who in the world can be Master’s match? At that time, after Master claims the fortunes within the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, and then marches into the Miao Borderlands to eradicate the Gu Mother, the world will be ruled by our Sorcerer Sect. At that time, anyone who dares disobey will be turned into the most lowly human puppet, never to rise again!”

These words from the short man filled the eyes of the two men with hopeful glimmers, seemingly full of hope for the future as well.

After Ye Qing and the others dealt with the matters concerning the Niu San couple, they flew directly to North Hong. According to the information provided by the Blood Dragon Couple, there was also a sorcerer cultivating living corpses here. Moreover, since the Bloody Monk hadn’t been to North Hong, they rushed here first, intending to rescue the child there first.

After these incidents, Ye Qing was less wary of Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi, and on the journey, the three sat together, discussing the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

Although Ye Qing had learned from Old Wang Ba that there was an ancient monster in Nanyang about to emerge, he didn’t know who this monster was. So he asked about the Corpse Ghost Dragon. After listening to Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi’s explanation, he confirmed that the Corpse Ghost Dragon was indeed the ancient monster Old Wang Ba mentioned.

It seemed Old Wang Ba hadn’t deceived Ye Qing this time. The ancient monster that the Southeast Asian sorcerers intended to release was indeed extraordinary. If it were unsealed, it would essentially spell calamity for Huaxia!

This further solidified Ye Qing’s resolve to stop the unsealing of the Corpse Ghost Dragon. As soon as he got off the plane, Ye Qing rushed directly to the location mentioned by the Blood Dragon Couple to find the child being cultivated as a living corpse.

Ye Qing had already contacted the State Security Department about the sorcerers. The occurrence of such an incident shocked the department. Compared to the mercenaries, the sorcerers’ situation worried them more, as the methods of these sorcerers were extremely cruel. The last sorcerer Ye Qing and his team dealt with had killed a warehouse full of people, turning them into human puppets. An incident like this happening once was already difficult enough to handle, let alone if it happened again.

Therefore, the State Security Department temporarily decided to let Ye Qing handle the sorcerers first. As for the mercenaries, the department would make other arrangements.

So on this trip to deal with the sorcerers, Ye Qing and his team received absolute support from the State Security Department. Upon arrival in North Hong, they were greeted by military personnel, and all local arrangements had been made. Whatever Ye Qing needed to do there, the authorities would provide them with absolute support.

In fact, Ye Qing didn’t need much from the military, only assistance in handling the aftermath. As for dealing with the sorcerers, that was something the military couldn’t involve themselves in; it was up to Ye Qing, Ding Lianshun, and Yin Xianzi.

After the previous incidents, Ye Qing and his team learned their lesson and dared not wait idly by. If the sorcerer noticed their presence, who knew what might happen? Whether the sorcerer fled, or stayed to fight them, neither was an outcome they wanted. If the sorcerer fled, the child being used to cultivate the living corpse would be doomed. If the sorcerer stayed to fight, the situation would be even more troublesome. If the sorcerer created another batch of human puppets, many more people could die.

Fortunately, Ding Lianshun had a Seeking Descent Incense on hand, which could be used to find the sorcerer.

Ye Qing and his team first located the child being used to cultivate the living corpse. The situation there was similar to that of the Niu San couple; the child’s family was also impoverished. However, this sorcerer was a bit more cunning, leaving some money for the child along with the sorcery, ensuring the child wouldn’t lack food. Because of this, the living corpse within the child grew rapidly, reaching a very dangerous state. If the child wasn’t saved quickly, he would surely die!
