Urban Martial Saint

Master Naikun’s fellow disciple was slapped by him and was stunned.

The matter of the Devouring Demon Flower is a big secret left by the Corpse Ghost Dragon back in the day, and only these Nanyang sorcerers know about it; outsiders know nothing. But now, the huge secret was leaked by Ye Qing with just a few words, and it’s conceivable how depressed he feels inside.

”Ye, you are so despicable!” Grand Master Naikun gritted his teeth at Ye Qing and said in a deep voice: ”To use such methods to trick us into talking, hmph, but what does it matter? Whether you can walk out of here today is still unknown, let alone saving anyone at Beimang Mountain.”

”Hahaha...” Ye Qing laughed heartily, saying: ”Naikun, I bet with you that I will definitely walk out of here today, do you believe it?”

”Oh, really?” Naikun sneered as well, casually whistling, and the snakes, insects, rats, and ants around immediately became agitated, as if ready to pounce and tear Ye Qing apart at any moment.

”No need to scare me with these little insects, Naikun. If you wanted to kill me, you would have done it long ago; why wait until now!” Ye Qing said: ”In the end, aren’t you just coveting the Secret Technique the Great Demon King left behind? Naikun, you definitely aren’t satisfied being under the Corpse Ghost Dragon, right? Always probing me for the method to pass the last five tests, in essence, aren’t you wanting to personally go in and search for what the Great Demon King left behind? If you did find the Great Demon King’s things, I’m sure you wouldn’t bother saving the Corpse Ghost Dragon anymore!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone present looked at Grand Master Naikun, and these people were all Grand Master Naikun’s fellow disciples. In everyone’s eyes, there was doubt and distrust; Ye Qing’s words made them somewhat suspicious of Grand Master Naikun.

Grand Master Naikun was furious inside, but still maintained a calm exterior, coldly saying: ”Ye Qing, no need to play these divisive tricks on me. Do you think we brothers and sisters are fools? You think a few words can make us kill each other? Ridiculous!”

Grand Master Naikun’s words slightly reassured everyone, who also turned their heads to look at Ye Qing. Of course, it could be seen from their eyes that they still doubted Grand Master Naikun.

”Whether your brothers and sisters are fools, you know better than I.” Ye Qing retorted with a cold smile: ”If you are truly innocent, then tell me, why do you need to know the method to pass the last five tests? Clearly, you can save the Corpse Ghost Dragon without passing those five tests, so why insist on going in? You treat them as fools, using the name of the Corpse Ghost Dragon, having them work for you, laughably they still think highly of you!”

Ye Qing could see that this Grand Master Naikun was very clever, not someone easily tricked into revealing information. However, it was fortunate that his fellow disciples around him were not so intelligent. Thus, Ye Qing planned to first sow discord and create a rift between Grand Master Naikun and his fellow disciples, and then try to extract information from them, who were much easier to deal with than the clever Grand Master Naikun.

Grand Master Naikun’s face turned cold; he indeed harbored selfish motives and had no way to answer Ye Qing’s question directly. Moreover, his fellow disciples were all attracted by Ye Qing’s words, looking at him suspiciously.

”Senior brother, is what this Ye says true?” a sorcerer beside them asked in a deep voice.

”Nonsense, why ask such a thing!” Grand Master Naikun glared and said: ”This Ye is deliberately sowing discord, do you really believe his words?”

Grand Master Naikun’s denial this time did not convince his fellow disciples much; they were still staring at him. The sorcerer who spoke earlier asked coldly: ”If that’s the case, why don’t you kill him?”

”Yes, senior brother, if you’re just trying to save Master with no other intentions, we don’t need to pass those last five tests at all. This Ye, you can kill anytime, why hesitate?” another sorcerer asked loudly.

”Senior brother, kill him, and we’ll trust you!”

”Yes, senior brother, kill him! Kill him!”

Everyone clamored, urging Grand Master Naikun to kill Ye Qing. Grand Master Naikun’s former prestige no longer worked, as now everyone was suspicious, wondering if he was a traitor. Who would be polite to him?

Master Naikun felt extremely depressed in his heart. He truly had selfish motives; he wanted to know the way to get through those final five checkpoints. And Ye Qing was the only person who had been through those final five checkpoints, so he had to ask Ye Qing to find out the specific method. However, now his fellow disciples around him were pushing him to deal with Ye Qing, which complicated matters greatly. If he killed Ye Qing, he would be unable to learn how to get through the final five checkpoints, losing this one and only chance. If this chance was gone, once the Corpse Ghost Dragon revived, he would completely lose the opportunity, and he was really unwilling to accept that.

However, in these circumstances, if he didn’t kill Ye Qing, these fellow disciples around him would surely turn against him. At this moment, regarding how to handle this matter, he truly found himself in a dilemma.

After a long silence, Master Naikun suddenly looked up at Ye Qing and said in a deep voice, ”If that’s the case, then I’ll kill this man named Ye first!”

Having said that, Master Naikun put his fingers into his mouth and whistled. It was as if the snakes, insects, rats, and ants around received a signal, and they immediately crawled toward Ye Qing.

Ye Qing’s expression changed. He originally intended to first provoke discord between Master Naikun and his fellow disciples, then use them to find a way to save Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi. He never expected that Master Naikun would actually attack him, which he could not have foreseen. Because, in his view, Master Naikun would never let go of this one and only chance, so what was happening now?

At this moment, Ye Qing couldn’t think much about it. Seeing the snakes, insects, rats, and ants move around him, he immediately gripped Mu Ling tightly in his hand, taking a few steps back, ready to turn and flee at any moment. There were simply too many snakes, insects, rats, and ants for him to handle, it seemed he still had to wait for Shen Tianjun and the masked elder to deal with Master Naikun.

However, Ye Qing had not yet started to run when the situation suddenly changed. Standing next to Master Naikun, the first sorcerer who had previously questioned him suddenly let out a tragic scream and fell to the ground. He rolled and howled in agony, continually clawing toward his back, with foam gushing from his mouth, and his skin turned a frightening shade of dark blue.

”Old Jiu! Old Jiu!” another sorcerer exclaimed in shock and urgency, but he dared not touch him at all. Because this sorcerer saw that a Poisonous Hornet was perched on Old Jiu’s neck.

Undoubtedly, the Poisonous Hornet must have killed him. And this Poisonous Hornet was one of the poisonous creatures kept by Master Naikun. Without Master Naikun’s orders, it would never attack people randomly. In other words, it was Master Naikun who killed Old Jiu!

”Senior brother, you...” The other sorcerers immediately looked at Master Naikun, each with an expression of anger on their faces.

Master Naikun appeared completely calm. He slowly looked at everyone present and said, ”See clearly, this is the consequence of opposing me! Whoever wants to end up like him, I can grant your wish at any time.”

”Senior brother, what do you mean by this?” another sorcerer urgently said, ”Is it really as Ye Qing said, that you covet the secret technique left by the Great Demon King?”

”That’s right!” This time, Master Naikun completely tore off his mask and shouted, ”I just want the secret technique left by the Great Demon King!”

”What about Master? We were all taught by Master, how can you treat Master this way?”

”What Master, no Master, I make the decisions here now!” Master Naikun said coldly, ”As for that old Corpse Ghost Dragon, do you really think he truly cares about us? Hmph, sure, you now indeed have powerful strength. But don’t forget, how did you acquire that strength? What price did you pay to get it? The Corpse Ghost Dragon enhanced his own strength by turning us into half-human, half-beast creatures, was that considered good for us?”

”Senior brother, this is unreasonable!” one sorcerer said angrily, ”We became like this, we studied sorcery, it was all our own choice, Master never forced us to learn sorcery, didn’t we learn it for power’s sake? How can it be Master’s fault?”

”Humph, can’t you see now?” Ye Qing shouted loudly from afar, ”Naikun is basically betraying his master and ancestors, he just wants to gain the opportunity for longevity and immortality, which is why he wants to pass through those final five checkpoints. What Master? He doesn’t care at all!”

Master Naikun did not refute Ye Qing’s words this time but instead gave a cold smile and said, ”That’s right, Ye Qing is very correct, I do want the opportunity for longevity and immortality. Hmph, don’t talk about me, do you all not fear death? Are you all willing to live this way, not even able to reach a hundred years of life? Are you all willing to always be like slaves, driven by the Corpse Ghost Dragon? Fellow junior disciples, the opportunity is here now. The Great Demon King left secret techniques for longevity and immortality, and unique skills to dominate the world. As long as we can seize this opportunity, find the secret techniques left by the Great Demon King, we can change everything. We can take control, become the masters of this world, and put the whole world at our feet!”
