Urban Martial Saint

”You’ve done well!” The Grand Sect Master nodded in satisfaction and said, ”That’s how Fat Wang is, capturing him won’t get us the Dragon Blood Wood. It’s better to wait for him to bring it out, then everything will be fine!”

With the Grand Sect Master’s praise, the Third Sect Master’s previously tense nerves finally eased a little. He looked at the Grand Sect Master and whispered, ”Big Brother, this time, how did things... how did things go?”

”What do you think?” The Grand Sect Master’s face suddenly turned extremely grim.

”This...” The Third Sect Master hesitated for a moment and whispered, ”Wasn’t it said that if we gather one hundred and eight pieces of famed instruments, they would release the hostage? Now that we’ve gathered everything, they still won’t release the hostage, what does that mean?”

”These bastards, don’t count on them to keep their word!” The Grand Sect Master said angrily, ”I went to talk to them about this. They said we also need to find the Dragon Blood Wood and get the map, only then would they release the hostage.”

”What kind of logic is that?” The Third Sect Master was instantly irate and said, ”They promised us earlier that we just needed to get one hundred and eight famed instruments, why do they now want us to get the map too? These people have no integrity, even if we get the map, will they really release the hostage?”

The Grand Sect Master was silent for a while and sighed, ”Things have come to this, let’s just keep them steady for now. By the way, how is their research on the famed instruments?”

”Who knows!” The Third Sect Master said with a sneer, ”These people have already ruined over a dozen famed instruments and still have nothing to show for it. I think, they are likely just wasting their time. The weapon forging skills of our Huaxia ancestors are not something these devils can easily figure out. If they really managed to research it, then everyone would have a famed instrument, would it still be so valuable?”

If Ye Qing heard this, he would surely be shocked. Someone actually wants to research the forging methods of famed instruments. Even in the entire Huaxia, famed instruments are extremely rare. Any famed instrument can sell for tens of millions or even billions, showing how immensely valuable they are. Moreover, all famed instruments are handed down from ancient times, no one in modern times has ever forged a famed instrument, which shows how precious they are.

If the method to forge famed instruments were figured out, that would be disastrous. If famed instruments could be mass-produced, they wouldn’t be nearly as valuable as they are now. And if they became widespread, the world would surely fall into chaos.

”Let them mess around, those devils always think we Huaxia people are inferior, and that they can understand everything. Hmph, after years and not a shred of progress, these people still refuse to give up.” The Grand Sect Master said angrily, then after a moment of silence, he asked, ”By the way, are they still in the secret warehouse?”

”Yes, with Second Brother. Those devils really have patience, they’ve been in there for a few years, only coming out two or three times. If it were me, I couldn’t stand it!” The Third Sect Master exclaimed.

The Grand Sect Master nodded, thought for a long time, and suddenly said, ”Pack up later, I’m going to check that place tonight.”

”Huh?” The Third Sect Master paused and asked, ”Big Brother, you’re going to the secret warehouse?”

”I’ll personally talk to them, to see if they will indeed release the hostage after we get the map!” The Grand Sect Master paused, then said in a low voice, ”When I came back, I specifically hired a Southeast Asian Sorcerer and acquired some poison. If these people try to play tricks on me, I’ll control them first.”

”Exactly, we can’t let those people have it easy!” The Third Sect Master laughed wickedly, ”Big Brother, if it weren’t for some reservations, I would have killed these bastards a long time ago. Such lousy things, they really make me mad just looking at them!”

The Grand Sect Master nodded and suddenly said, ”By the way, Third Brother, later, find someone to comfort Wen’er, tell her not to be so sad. This child has been waiting for so many years, this time it was said that they could bring the hostage back, but in the end... sigh!”

”Big Brother, I understand.” The Third Sect Master nodded, then paused and whispered, ”By the way, Big Brother, last night that person had an encounter with Wen’er. He easily nullified Wen’er’s Dragon-Slaying Dagger, his skills are not ordinary!”

”So what if his skills are not ordinary?” The Grand Sect Master’s eyes flashed with ferocity, and he said in a deep voice, ”Whoever dares to harm a single hair on my daughter’s head, I will personally kill them! Hmph, being able to nullify the Dragon-Slaying Dagger, so what? As long as he’s not one of the Five Unmatches of the World, I don’t care!”

Seeing the Grand Sect Master in such a fierce mood, the Third Sect Master wisely said nothing more; he knew the Grand Sect Master’s personality well. His daughter is his only soft spot, if anyone dares to mess with his daughter, he would seek revenge at all costs.

At 9:30 in the evening, Ye Qing gave the antidote to Monkey and the others, before driving to Handsome Fatty Wang’s place. Of course, he didn’t go directly to the courtyard where Handsome Fatty Wang was hiding but went to the courtyard where a few of Handsome Fatty Wang’s companions were staying.

Handsome Fatty Wang’s courtyard was already under surveillance, so there was no way he could leave from there. Ye Qing guessed that he’d sneak through a tunnel to where his companions lived and depart from there. This way, even if he got out, the South Ridge Sect wouldn’t know, who would think that they had already gone to steal from the South Ridge Sect’s secret warehouse?

Arriving outside the courtyard, Ye Qing and his team turned off their car and quietly waited outside. At around 10:30, a fat shadow sneaked out of the courtyard; it was Handsome Fatty Wang.

Handsome Fatty Wang, dressed in black, sneakily looked around. Confirming no one was near, he quietly entered an alley across the way. Ye Qing watched from the outside as Handsome Fatty Wang drove a truck out from the alley and headed towards Great Xiao Mountain.

Ye Qing and his team silently followed. Though Handsome Fatty Wang was alert, how could he possibly be a match for Ye Qing? Ye Qing, with his Special Forces background, had exceptional tracking skills and followed Handsome Fatty Wang without him noticing, all the way to Great Xiao Mountain.

Handsome Fatty Wang parked the car at a secluded spot at the foot of the mountain, then got out, slung a backpack over his shoulder, and started walking up the mountain.

”Hey, isn’t that Fat Wang?” The monkey sitting in the car suddenly asked in surprise.

”Of course it is!” Ye Qing smiled, turned around, and pressed the Coma Acupoint on Monkey, who immediately lay down and fell into a deep sleep.

”What’s going on? What’s going on?” The others were startled, not knowing what Ye Qing was up to. Ye Qing did not explain, and with a tap on each of them, they all fell into a slumber.

Ye Qing drove the car to a secluded spot to hide it, then turned to Huangfu Ziyu with a smile and said, ”Alright, let’s go up the mountain to move the Famed Instruments.”

”After you snatch these Famed Instruments this time, Fat Wang will surely hate you to death!” Huangfu Ziyu laughed.

”That damn fatty has tricked me more times, though!” Ye Qing smirked, got out of the car first, and together with Huangfu Ziyu, they walked up the mountain path.

Handsome Fatty Wang’s speed was far inferior to Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu. Following behind him, they went up the mountain all the way to the cliff. By the time they arrived, Fat Wang’s few friends had already been waiting there.

”Damn, why are you only getting here now?” Seeing Fat Wang approach, one of them immediately walked over and said, ”We already dug through a little after nine, why not wait until daylight to come over?”

”Nonsense, with the South Ridge Sect people keeping such a close watch on me, do you think I dare move so early?” Fat Wang waved his hand and said, ”Save the chatter, let’s hurry and move things out first!”

”Old Jiu and the others have already gone down, just waiting for you.” That person came over with a bundle of rope and said, ”There’s a lot of stuff in there, it’ll probably take about half an hour to move it all out.”

Fat Wang exclaimed excitedly, ”Then enough talk, let’s get going. I’ve got the car ready; once we get the stuff out, we’ll leave right away. By the time the South Ridge Sect notices, we’ll probably be out on the High Seas!”

Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu watched from afar as Fat Wang and the others went down one by one, leaving only one person on top, presumably to receive the items.

Ye Qing didn’t bother going down himself, as what he wanted were the Famed Instruments—once the others brought them up, he could just take them and save himself some trouble.

Not long after Fat Wang and his group went down, a large black bag slowly made its way up. The person on top struggled to move that bag aside and then started handling the second bag.

”It’s here!” Ye Qing was delighted. Together with Huangfu Ziyu, they quietly sneaked up behind the man.

The person was still busily moving the bags, completely unaware that someone had approached from behind. Ye Qing casually pressed the man’s Coma Acupoint, and he immediately fell to the ground asleep. Ye Qing took over his position and started hauling the Famed Instruments up one bag at a time.

”I’ll carry them down first, so it’s easier to handle when more come up,” Huangfu Ziyu suggested.

”Alright!” Ye Qing nodded. These Famed Instruments were not light to Fat Wang and his crew, but they were nothing for him and Huangfu Ziyu.

Huangfu Ziyu grabbed two bags and quickly headed down the mountain, loading the bags into the large truck Fat Wang had driven there. This time, they not only planned to snatch Fat Wang’s Famed Instruments but also intended to take Fat Wang’s truck as well.

Meanwhile, inside the cave, Fat Wang and the others were busy, oblivious to what was happening above, thinking it was their own people receiving the goods there. They diligently gathered Famed Instruments below, transporting one bag after another upwards—more than twenty bags, a testament to the abundance of Famed Instruments below.

Huangfu Ziyu worked with great speed, and in no time, had transported most of the bags to the truck by the foot of the mountain.

After the twenty-seventh bag was hauled up, Fat Wang below gave the rope a tug, signaling that it was the last one.

”Done.” Ye Qing was overjoyed. This time, with twenty-seven bags of Famed Instruments, each packed full, there must be a massive number of them. Now, the Famed Instruments he possessed were probably more than the entire stock of the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance!
