Urban Martial Saint

This news not only shocked Prince Wan Yan but also Ye Qing and the people from the Yelu Family.

Du Jiang actually knew they were coming long before; how is this possible? When Ye Qing came over here, he didn’t contact anyone. Moreover, after saving the Yelu Family’s people, Ye Qing and the others headed south randomly. How did Du Jiang know they would end up here?

”Of course, it was me, Eighth Master, who called him!” Just as everyone was surprised, Old Wang Ba leisurely walked out and said, ”I had arranged everything long ago, Prince Wan Yan, you didn’t expect that, did you?”

Prince Wan Yan furrowed his brows, staring hard at Old Wang Ba, and said solemnly, ”No wonder you kept insisting Ye Qing wouldn’t die. It turns out you had arranged this plan long ago and knew Du Jiang would surely come to rescue him!”

”Nonsense, otherwise, would Eighth Master dare to speak so boldly?” Old Wang Ba said proudly, ”Prince Wan Yan, I think you should honestly let Ye Qing go. If you kill him, your Wanyan Family will be completely cut off. At your age, it’s unlikely an old tree would bloom again. If your lineage ends, the Wanyan Family will become the ’Finished Family.’

Prince Wan Yan’s face turned icy; he never expected the situation to develop to this point. Now his son is in the enemy’s hands, and he truly doesn’t dare to kill Ye Qing anymore.

The Yelu Family members were also suddenly enlightened. No wonder Old Wang Ba was so confident before; it turns out he had contacted the people over in the Meng District long ago. However, the previous situation was really dangerous. If Li Changshan hadn’t come to hold them back for a while, Du Jiang might not have arrived in time, and Ye Qing could have already been in danger.

After a long silence, Prince Wan Yan gritted his teeth and looked at Du Jiang, saying grimly, ”Du Jiang, you’re ruthless! Wan Yan Zong will remember this debt. One day, if I have the chance, I will personally seek guidance!”

With that, Prince Wan Yan turned straight around and said solemnly, ”Let’s go!”

The subordinates of Prince Wan Yan were relieved to see him abandon the idea of killing Ye Qing. They knew very well that if he had killed Ye Qing, they would all have died here today. Now that Prince Wan Yan agreed to leave, they too breathed a sigh of relief; they had preserved their lives!

Seeing Prince Wan Yan and his people leave, the Yelu Family members were overjoyed. Initially, there was no hope, but now, they had narrowly escaped a calamity. As long as they avoid this disaster, their chances of surviving increase significantly. After all, the deeper they go into the Meng District, the safer it becomes. Prince Wan Yan might dare cause trouble on the outskirts of the Meng District, but he definitely wouldn’t dare venture deep into it!

Du Jiang didn’t pay attention to Prince Wan Yan and his people, instead immediately calling his men to arrange a few vehicles, directly escorting Ye Qing and the others to the city area. Du Jiang personally led a group to accompany them, fearing that Prince Wan Yan might pursue them to deal with Ye Qing again.

Li Changshan had barely any injuries, and the medicinal effect of the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill in Ye Qing’s body made his recovery quick. Before they even reached the city, his body was almost completely healed, and he didn’t need any bandaging or the like.

Seeing Ye Qing recover so quickly, Du Jiang was greatly astonished. He knew that when he first saw Ye Qing, he had been severely injured, unable even to stand. Yet now, his injuries seemed to be mostly healed; this self-healing ability was too strong!

”Ye brothers, are you really okay?” Du Jiang asked, still a bit uneasy, ”Do you need to go to the hospital for a check-up? Prince Wan Yan strikes especially hard; it wouldn’t hurt to be careful!”

”No need, I’m really fine.” Ye Qing said with a faint smile, knowing best the state of his own body. Not to mention this minor injury, even if he were more seriously injured, given a bit of time, he could recover quickly. The medicinal effect of the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill wasn’t ordinary; even one could save a life, let alone recover from such an injury.

Seeing that Ye Qing was truly fine, Du Jiang did not insist further. He nodded and said, ”Ye brothers, take care of yourself. Anyway, we have people in the main parts of the city. If needed, we can go over anytime; it’s very convenient.”

”Thank you for your kindness, Du, if needed, I’ll have to trouble you!” Ye Qing replied gratefully.

”Oh, you don’t have to be so polite with me!” Du Jiang laughed heartily, reaching out to pat Ye Qing on the shoulder, ”My uncle instructed me to treat you well.”

”Your uncle?” Ye Qing was slightly surprised, as this was his first time meeting Du Jiang, so who could his uncle be?

Seeing Ye Qing’s surprised expression, Du Jiang laughed and said, ”Ye brother, do you remember Du Feng from last time at the Shen Family Manor during the matchmaking event?”

”Of course I remember.” Ye Qing nodded. That Du Feng was one of the people who attended the matchmaking event back then. Ye Qing had helped him twice, allowing him to pass two rounds, so he was very grateful to Ye Qing.

”Du Feng is my cousin!” Du Jiang laughed and said, ”His father is my uncle.”

”I see!” Ye Qing suddenly realized. No wonder Du Jiang was desperate to save him and was so kind to him; there was this connection between them. Ye Qing never would have imagined that his small act of kindness at the Shen Family Manor would eventually save his own life.

”Some time ago, my cousin stayed here for a few days and talked to me about you, Ye brother.” Du Jiang laughed and said, ”My uncle had him in his old age and only has this one child. He was too pampered as a child, so his personality is a bit timid. Last time, grandpa took him to the matchmaking event to train his character. Thanks to you, Ye brother, he finally passed two rounds, giving my cousin some confidence. Ye brother, you’re really a benefactor to my Du family!”

”Du brother, you’re being too kind.” Ye Qing quickly waved his hand and said, ”Du brother is a kind person. Back then at the Shen Family Manor, it was Du brother who helped me quite a bit.”

”Hahaha...” Du Jiang laughed heartily again, patting Ye Qing on the shoulder and saying, ”Regardless, you helped my Du family, and this gratitude will never be forgotten by anyone in my family. I received a call from the Eighth Master a few days ago, saying that Ye brother, you’re coming over, and I’ve already arranged everything. Prince Wan Yan has strong influence in the Northern Desert area. Though this is the Meng District, it’s still not very safe. The Great General’s knife-bearing guests will arrive in the city by noon. By then, they will personally escort you, Ye brother, deep into the Meng District. Once you get into the Meng District, even if Prince Wan Yan were bold, he wouldn’t dare come in!”

”Oh, about that.” Ye Qing turned to look at Old Wang Ba sitting nearby and curiously asked, ”You contacted Du brother a few days ago? How did you know we were definitely coming here?”

”Isn’t that obvious!” Old Wang Ba glanced at Ye Qing and said, ”After you rescued someone, you definitely alerted the Wan Yan family. The Wan Yan family would undoubtedly seek to chase us down. If you had to run, where else could you go? You’d definitely have to head for the Meng District. From Tianzhao City to the Meng District, the nearest route is this one. If you don’t come here, where else could you go!”

Ye Qing realized, admitting that Old Wang Ba had calculated everything quite precisely. Although this old fellow was usually unreliable, this time he had considered everything thoroughly. Thanks to Old Wang Ba for having previously contacted Du Jiang, otherwise Ye Qing and the others might have been in real danger this time.

”Ye brother, how did you cross the river last night?” Du Jiang asked in surprise from the side. ”I specially sent someone to the dock, waiting all night, but didn’t see your car come over. Instead, I found out that Prince Wan Yan had disguised himself to cross the river. Fortunately, the Eighth Master called ahead and had me capture Wan Yan Ming as a hostage, or else we wouldn’t have been able to intimidate that old guy Prince Wan Yan!”

As it turns out, Du Jiang and his team had already arranged for support by the dock last night. If Ye Qing and his party had come into the city last night and crossed the river by the dock, it would have triggered a clash between the Meng District people and Prince Wan Yan’s subordinates. However, by taking the water route, Ye Qing prevented this bloodshed from occurring.

Ye Qing recounted the events from the previous night of using ropes to cross the river, and Du Jiang listened with his heart in his throat. After Ye Qing finished, he couldn’t help but slap his thigh and say, ”No wonder my cousin repeatedly said you are brave and resourceful, Ye brother. Seeing you today proves those claims true! That North Meng River has rapid currents, feathers wouldn’t float on it. My Du family are all adept swimmers, yet even we can’t cross that river, and you managed to come over using such means. Truly admirable!”

”We had no choice but to force our way across.” Ye Qing sighed with a wry smile and said, ”If we couldn’t cross, we’d always be stuck on Prince Wan Yan’s turf. So, we had to take the risk.”

”Hahaha...” Du Jiang laughed and said, ”No matter what, being able to cross is the best outcome. This way, for Prince Wan Yan to catch you, he’d have to enter the Meng District, which means he’s in the wrong first. This gives us a stronger position. If we crossed at the dock, we’d have to go into the Northern Desert, and word might spread that the Great General is unjustly bullying the Wan Yan family.”

Everyone couldn’t help but burst into laughter, finding Du Jiang’s words quite amusing. Although Prince Wan Yan is one of the top experts in the world, it’s quite amusing for Du Jiang to use the word ’bullying’ to describe him. It’s likely Prince Wan Yan has never encountered such a situation in his life.

As they chatted and laughed, they arrived in the city. Du Jiang had significant influence in this city, and even before they reached the city center, arrangements were already made for a hotel. Upon arrival, everyone first settled in at the hotel.

The Yelu family members were not lightly injured, and after all this trouble, several were injured again. So, as soon as they settled in, Du Jiang immediately arranged for the wounded to be sent to the hospital for treatment. As for those who weren’t injured, they stayed at the hotel to rest. When noon came and the Great General’s personally trained knife-bearing guests arrived, they would escort Ye Qing and the others deeper into the Meng District.
