Urban Martial Saint

Arriving at Shenchuan City, it was already early afternoon on the second day. Although they had been driving for more than ten hours, they did not encounter the slightest obstruction along the way, and smoothly arrived at Shenchuan City.

This time returning to Shenchuan City, Ye Qing was different from before. He didn’t go to find his friends but directly went to the manor in the suburbs where Helian Tiehua lived. This manor is now also the Headquarters of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance, and members of the Seven Families are all here.

After Ye Qing contacted Helian Tiehua, he also contacted the people of Sha Men. Receiving Ye Qing’s message, the Bloody Monk personally rushed to Helian Tiehua’s manor, waiting for Ye Qing there.

The arrival of the Bloody Monk surprised Helian Tiehua and members of the Seven Families very much. It is well known that the Bloody Monk has an extremely eccentric personality and temper. Except for his subordinates in Sha Men, he wouldn’t show a good face to anyone else nor bother with other people’s business.

The appearance of the Corpse Ghost Dragon had been reported to him long ago, but he didn’t care at all. Helian Tiehua personally invited him twice, but he didn’t come to meet with Helian Tiehua. Unexpectedly, this time, a call from Ye Qing actually brought the Bloody Monk personally to the manor of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance. Naturally, this astonished people greatly. The Bloody Monk was indeed giving Ye Qing a lot of face!

Inadvertently, the attitude of the people from the Seven Families towards Ye Qing changed somewhat. Not to mention Ye Qing’s own strength, just the fact that the Bloody Monk valued Ye Qing so highly was enough to leave people in awe. Ye Qing can now be said to be the son-in-law of the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance, leveraging this relationship, maybe later he could even get the Bloody Monk to help the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance. With the Bloody Monk’s strength, if he helps the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance, it would be a powerful assistance indeed!

Ye Qing naturally didn’t know what the people of the Seven Families were thinking. When he arrived at the manor, the first person he went to see was Shen Tianjun. Shen Tianjun was badly injured and had been in a coma for days, resting in the backyard under Helian Tiehua’s arrangement.

The Shen Family had all rushed here, heading to the backyard, looking at Shen Tianjun in a coma, everyone was extremely anxious.

”I’ve already had someone check Shen’s condition. Shen seems to have been struck by the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s sorcery, which will gradually corrode Shen’s entire body, eventually achieving the purpose of controlling Shen. However, Shen is not an ordinary person, he forcibly used his Inner Strength to block all his Meridians, making it impossible for the power of the sorcery to spread throughout his body, thus temporarily preventing the corrosion of this power.” Helian Tiehua stood beside them, sighed and said: ”However, although this method can temporarily suppress the power of the sorcery, preventing Shen from being controlled by the Corpse Ghost Dragon, it also has a major drawback, which is the inability to use external power to help Shen expel the power of this sorcery. Because once external power enters, it must rely on the Meridians as channels to operate. This way, not to mention whether the power of the Corpse Ghost Dragon can be expelled, as the Meridians are opened, the power of the Corpse Ghost Dragon will also spread throughout the entire body, completely controlling Shen. By then, Shen will probably become a puppet, controlled by the Corpse Ghost Dragon!”

Hearing Helian Tiehua’s words, Ye Qing slightly frowned and looked towards Ding Lianshun standing behind him. Judging by Helian Tiehua’s words, Shen Tianjun’s situation seems somewhat similar to Yin Xianzi’s.

Seeing Ye Qing’s gaze, Ding Lianshun knew what he was thinking, and immediately shook his head, saying: ”The Southern Fist King’s situation is somewhat different from Yin Xianzi’s. If I’m not mistaken, the Southern Fist King has been struck by the Body Control Curse by the Corpse Ghost Dragon, to put it simply, his body has been controlled by someone. Yin Xianzi is controlled in spirit, and this method is the hardest to treat. The Southern Fist King is only attacked by the power of the sorcery, and the Southern Fist King’s consciousness is still retained, only his body will be controlled by this power.”

Seeing the Shen Family still looked confused, he waved his hand and said: ”To give the simplest example, Yin Xianzi and the Southern Fist King are both controlled, but if fighting others, Yin Xianzi will exert all her strength. While the Southern Fist King will only exert the power of the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s sorcery. Furthermore, only part of the sorcery’s power is exerted, because the sorcery’s power also needs to suppress the Southern Fist King’s power, which in itself consumes a lot of strength. The remaining strength can then be exerted!”

”I see!” Ye Qing finally understood the difference in between, frowning slightly, he said: ”According to what you’re saying, the method of controlling the spirit seems much more effective than this Body Control Curse method.”

”Though that’s the case, controlling the spirit is not an easy undertaking.” Ding Lianshun said: ”I heard from the Heavenly Master in the past that among the Five Unmatches of the World, Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun should be deservedly the first. Not because his strength is the strongest, but because his will is the strongest and his mind the most firm. Such people are also the hardest to control mentally. Yin Xianzi is different, she herself is a woman and particularly susceptible to being mentally controlled. Therefore, even though the Corpse Ghost Dragon can control Yin Xianzi’s spirit, he might not necessarily have the ability to control the Southern Fist King’s spirit!”

The crowd suddenly understood, looking at Shen Tianjun lying on the bed, for a moment no one knew whether to be happy or sad. According to Ding Lianshun’s explanation, Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun’s injuries were relatively easier to treat. However, how exactly to treat him had become a huge problem indeed.

Ye Qing gave Shen Tianjun a few pieces of Devouring Demon Flower to take, but after consuming these, Shen Tianjun showed no improvement, which made Ye Qing feel even less confident. Even the Devouring Demon Flower was of no use on Shen Tianjun, so how could he possibly be cured!

Leaving a few people to take care of Shen Tianjun, Ye Qing and Helian Tiehua, and others went to the front hall. The Bloody Monk was already waiting there; he didn’t go to see Shen Tianjun. To him, Ye Qing’s personal invitation was the reason he came, other matters were of no concern.

Upon seeing the Bloody Monk, Ye Qing didn’t have much time to exchange pleasantries. After everyone sat down, Ye Qing immediately recounted the events concerning the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Including the fact that the Corpse Ghost Dragon in Beimang Mountain killed so many masters, and then killed numerous people in the Shen Family Manor.

Helian Tiehua was hearing these matters for the second time, and after listening to Ye Qing’s words, he did not speak but slowly turned to look at the Bloody Monk beside him. He was surely going to deal with the Corpse Ghost Dragon with all his might, now, it was just a matter of seeing if the Bloody Monk was willing to lend a hand in this matter.

According to the Bloody Monk’s past temper and personality, Helian Tiehua believed he should not be involved in this matter. As long as the Corpse Ghost Dragon didn’t provoke him, didn’t provoke Sha Men, even if the Corpse Ghost Dragon slaughtered people all over the world, the Bloody Monk wouldn’t care. However, since the Bloody Monk gave Ye Qing face this time and came to discuss this matter, maybe there would be a turning point in this matter!

The Bloody Monk didn’t directly answer Ye Qing. After a moment of silence, he suddenly looked at Helian Tiehua and said solemnly: ”I heard it was a masked man who brought Shen Tianjun over, who is this person!”

Ye Qing’s heart stirred, and he also looked at Helian Tiehua. Frankly, Ye Qing had been very curious about this masked man. He couldn’t imagine where in this world there could be another such Peak Master, with strength actually matching Shen Tianjun!

Helian Tiehua shook his head and said: ”I don’t know either. After he brought Shen here, he immediately left. From beginning to end, he didn’t say a word nor made a move. Judging by his Qinggong, I couldn’t discern his identity at all. However, since this person has a good relationship with Shen, presumably he isn’t a bad person!”

The Bloody Monk nodded and didn’t pursue this matter further. He pondered for a while, looked at Ye Qing, and said: ”The Corpse Ghost Dragon’s strength is unparalleled, far beyond any Peak Master, and just him alone, none of us here can deal with. Moreover, he gathered so many people to work for him. If we really fight him head-on, have you considered what our chances of winning are?”

Hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but rejoice. The Bloody Monk asking this question indicated he was willing to help, and this was the most crucial matter. The Corpse Ghost Dragon’s strength was too strong, to deal with him unless Peak Masters intervened, ordinary people couldn’t even get near him. The Bloody Monk was an exemplary Peak Master, with his help, the odds of winning are increased somewhat!

”It’s not just us dealing with the Corpse Ghost Dragon.” Ye Qing shook his head, saying: ”Shijia is also likely to come and help!”

”Shijia!?” The Bloody Monk instantly furrowed his brow, hearing this senior brother, his expression was noticeably uncomfortable.

The Bloody Monk feared nothing and no one, but held some apprehension toward this senior brother. Not that his strength was inferior to Shijia, in fact, with the Bloody Monk’s character, he wouldn’t even fear a solo duel with the Corpse Ghost Dragon. But Shijia was different; firstly, the Bloody Monk was basically taught by Shijia personally. Secondly, Shijia’s shamelessness was well-known, even someone as aggressive as the Bloody Monk found himself helpless before Shijia, only feeling headache.

”Will Shijia really come?” Helian Tiehua asked slightly surprised.

”He should!” Ye Qing nodded, saying: ”This time in Xi Hang, it was him who trapped the Corpse Ghost Dragon, allowing us to successfully rescue the Shen Family’s people. Without him, I’m afraid even we might not have returned!”

”Shijia was able to trap the Corpse Ghost Dragon?” The Bloody Monk widened his eyes, saying: ”Impossible, where does he have such strength?”

”Senior brother trapped the Corpse Ghost Dragon using the Sea of Suffering Great Array, not by force!” At this time, the Wolf Monk spoke timely from the side.

”Sea of Suffering Great Array!?” The Bloody Monk furrowed his brow again, saying solemnly: ”Even the Sea of Suffering Great Array was used, this old rogue monk is really putting in all effort!”
