Urban Martial Saint

Huangfu Ziyu smiled and said, ”Since you don’t trust him, why did you come to Humeng City?”

Ye Qing looked at Huangfu Ziyu and said, ”It’s news about you. Even if it’s fake, I still have to come and see. What if he’s not lying to me about this?”

Such a simple sentence made Huangfu Ziyu’s heart even sweeter. She blushed slightly, held Ye Qing’s hand tightly, and whispered, ”After we deal with things here, let’s go back. I don’t want to be involved in any worldly matters. As long as we can be together, that’s all that matters!”

Ye Qing nodded vigorously. He actually didn’t want to get involved in these conflicts. However, having come this far, many things can’t be avoided just because he wants to avoid them. In the Jianghu, one’s actions are often beyond their control!

Huangfu Zilong and his sister were still playing with the Sun Shooting Bow beside them. Huangfu Zilong tried several times but couldn’t pull the bowstring, so he asked, ”Sis, why can’t I pull this Sun Shooting Bow?”

”Really?” Huangfu Ziyu was surprised, took the Sun Shooting Bow, and easily pulled it to a full draw, saying, ”It’s not difficult. Even an ordinary person can pull it easily.”

”But I just tried, and I couldn’t pull it at all.” Huangfu Zilong took the Sun Shooting Bow back, tried a few more times, and still couldn’t move it.

”What’s going on?” Huangfu Ziyu was also a bit puzzled.

”Let me try.” Ye Qing took the Sun Shooting Bow, and was also surprised when he held it because it had no weight at all.

”This thing has no weight?” Ye Qing asked in astonishment. The first thing he thought of was the Gold Silk Armor he got before, which was also completely weightless and very strange.

”Yes, this Sun Shooting Bow, for some reason, has no weight.” Huangfu Ziyu replied.

Ye Qing was even more puzzled in his heart. What material were the Sun Shooting Bow and the Gold Silk Armor made of, that they had no weight at all? Moreover, both items were related to Guiguzi, related to the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates left by Guiguzi. What unparalleled secret was hidden within?

The Gold Silk Armor before was said to be able to uncover a great secret left by Guiguzi. The Sun Shooting Bow was one of the key items to open the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates. Both items were weightless, which made one wonder what earth-shattering secret Guiguzi had hidden back then!

With this curiosity, Ye Qing still tried his best to pull this Sun Shooting Bow. However, his situation was exactly the same as that of the Huangfu Zilong siblings; no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t pull open this Sun Shooting Bow.

”That’s strange, I can’t pull it open either.” Ye Qing handed the Sun Shooting Bow to Huangfu Ziyu and said strangely, ”Is it possible that only you can pull it open?”

”That...” Huangfu Ziyu thought for a moment and said, ”It could be. After all, the Sun Shooting Bow is a Famed Instrument. Many Famed Instruments can only unleash their powerful strength when in the hands of the person they’ve recognized as their master, and in the hands of others, they are not very effective.”

”It seems to be the case.” Ye Qing nodded and said, ”However, this is good. The Sun Shooting Bow recognizes you as its master, so no one in this world can hope to steal it from you!”

”Yes, yes, no one can take it, they’ll just have to watch helplessly, hahahaha...” Huangfu Zilong couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Huangfu Ziyu smiled slightly, slung the Sun Shooting Bow on her back, and said, ”By the way, how did you all end up here?”

Hearing these words, Ye Qing suddenly remembered the people from Sha Men still at the entrance of the cave and quickly asked, ”By the way, when you came out earlier, did you see those people from Sha Men?”

”I saw them,” Huangfu Ziyu said.

”How are they?” Ye Qing asked anxiously.

Huangfu Ziyu immediately recounted what she saw after leaving the cave. Hearing that Huangfu Ziyu saved the people from Sha Men, Ye Qing finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried about the people of Sha Men since he left with the Huangfu siblings. Now, knowing that they were safe, the weight on his mind was finally lifted.

After listening to Huangfu Ziyu’s account of the situation at the cave entrance, Ye Qing also recounted what happened to Huangfu Ziyu after entering the Inner Tomb. Hearing about the Seven Families and Prince Wan Yan Bei Wuchen teaming up to hunt them down, Huangfu Ziyu’s eyes were filled with murderous intent, and her anger was fully displayed on her face.

”Zi Yu, don’t be agitated.” Seeing her like this, Ye Qing quickly stopped her and said, ”Although the Seven Families are at fault, their strength is not weak. If you turn against them, the Seven Families will surely suffer significant losses, which would further weaken the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance. With the Twelve Green Halls’ incursion imminent, if the strength of the Seven Rudders declines, the Twelve Green Halls will dominate, which will be troubling. Moreover, as General Helian said, if you want revenge, you must consolidate the power of the Seven Families; you can’t succeed alone!”

”Yes, sister, as the saying goes, a gentleman takes revenge, even if it takes ten years!” Huangfu Zilong, standing by, also chimed in: ”I think after you get the Sun Shooting Bow and teach those Seven Families a lesson, they should straighten up. Let’s go back and bring them under control first, so we can restore the glory of the Huangfu Household. Now that we’re at odds with the Seven Families, not only can we not get the help of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance, but we’ll also have to fight against them, which is not beneficial to our plan to resurrect the Huangfu Household!”

After hearing Ye Qing and Huangfu Zilong say this, Huangfu Ziyu just sighed and slowly nodded, ”I know, you don’t need to worry. I won’t fall out with the Seven Families for now. However, anyone who humiliated us, I have remembered it all. One day, I will make them pay with interest!”

Huangfu Zilong nodded repeatedly, ”Right, right, we’ll settle accounts after the autumn. Once we’re done with our current tasks, it won’t be too late to settle scores with them!”

”By the way, sis, there’s a fight going on over there, why are you here?” Huangfu Zilong suddenly asked.

”I came after Wan Yan Zong.” Huangfu Ziyu paused, then recounted the incident with the masked man in black. Hearing this, Ye Qing and the others were dumbfounded.

”This shouldn’t be Invisibility Sorcery.” Ye Qing frowned, speaking in a deep voice: ”I’ve seen Invisibility Sorcery, and it’s not like this. Moreover, the person you mentioned, their invisibility is obviously flawed, and they’ll be exposed after a second, which is unlike what I’ve seen before. Most Southeast Asian Sorcerers spend their time practicing sorcery and have no time for martial arts. But the person you described is as strong as the Five Uniques, definitely not a Sorcerer!”

”So I am also very puzzled, not knowing what identity this person holds!” Huangfu Ziyu pondered for a moment, ”However, he should have some relations with the Wanyan Family. Otherwise, he wouldn’t take such a risk to save Wan Yan Zong.”

Ye Qingqi said, ”Could it be that the Wanyan Family has some hidden strength?”

”That’s hard to say.” Huangfu Ziyu said: ”Those eight Supreme Elders of theirs are their hidden force. Who knows if there are other experts besides these Supreme Elders!”

Ye Qing slightly nodded, fell silent for a moment, and then said: ”Forget it, it’s useless for us to think about these matters here, let’s go back and ask some of those seniors. The Great General knows a lot, maybe he might know something!”

”That’s true.” Huangfu Ziyu nodded, turned, and said: ”Then let’s head back and see what the Great General has to say about this matter.”

With Huangfu Ziyu’s presence controlling the situation, Ye Qing and his party no longer had to flee and started heading back.

Back at the cave entrance, the melee had already stopped here, and only the people from the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance and the Sha Men were left, busy dressing their wounds now.

Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk sat together, talking about something unknown. Seeing Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu approaching, they immediately turned their heads.

”Ye Qing!” The members of Sha Men were overjoyed to see Ye Qing return.

”Huangfu Ziyu...” The voice of the Seven Families trembled slightly upon seeing Huangfu Ziyu. No choice was there, as Huangfu Ziyu’s earlier actions had already shocked the audience. In the face of the Sun Shooting Bow’s might, who wouldn’t be scared?

Ye Qing greeted the members of Sha Men, while Huangfu Ziyu ignored the Seven Families entirely and walked straight to Helian Tiehua and the Bloody Monk.

”Ye Qing, how are you now?” The Bloody Monk asked in a deep voice.

”Thank you, Sect Leader, for saving my life!” Ye Qing said, ”I am fine now, and all my meridians have been healed.”

”No need to thank me. You saved a life of my Sha Men, and I will return a hundred lives for you. You saved ten lives of my Sha Men, and I will return a thousand!” The Bloody Monk said solemnly: ”I am fair in my dealings; what others owe me, I will certainly take back, and what I owe others, I will certainly return!”

The Bloody Monk’s voice resonated throughout the venue, clearly intended for members of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance to hear. Especially those of the Seven Families, upon hearing this, shivered in their hearts. Having witnessed the Bloody Monk’s methods, if he truly intended to kill them, they could only await their deaths, even Helian Tiehua might not be able to protect them!

”Hahaha...” Helian Tiehua laughed aloud: ”They say the Blood Robe Sect Leader has killed countless, his bloody hands ruthless. However, I, Helian Tiehua, do not think so. With a drop of water’s grace, repay with a gushing spring; for every debt of enmity, return with blood. This is what heroes and heroines do, standing in the world with clear distinctions between grace and grudge!”

These words from the Bloody Monk stirred excitement in Ye Qing’s heart. Only at this moment did he finally understand why the members of Sha Men were so loyal to the Bloody Monk. Even the Netherworld Scholar, after betraying Sha Men, could return again. Not for anything else, but for the unmatched charisma of the Bloody Monk!

Though he has killed countless, and is notoriously ruthless, how many in the world of heroes can compare to the heroic righteousness and clear distinction between grace and enmity of the Bloody Monk!
