Urban Martial Saint

When Ning Qianshu arrived at the mountain summit with Liu Ruxiang, Shen Tianjun’s inner strength had already recovered halfway.

Ye Qing stood at the edge of the summit, still gazing at the cliffside, his face filled with sorrow. He never imagined that bringing Lin Tianyou here would lead to his harm. Lin Tianyou not only fell from such a height to his death but was also swallowed by a python, leaving no body to retrieve. Now, Ye Qing’s mind was in complete turmoil, unsure how to explain this to Chen Keai and the Lin family upon his return.

”Alright, everyone is here!” Ning Qianshu reached the summit, immediately took Liu Ruxiang’s Divine Doctor’s Order, and handed it to Bai Li Xi, saying, ”Alright, all eight Divine Doctor’s Orders are here, you can now present the master’s inheritance.”

Although Lin Tianyou was swallowed by the python before, he had placed the Divine Doctor’s Order on the cliff before going to rescue others. So, although he was swallowed, the Divine Doctor’s Order was still there and had already been retrieved.

”Of course!” Bai Li Xi took the Divine Doctor’s Orders and placed them sequentially on the stone platform.

The people beside them stared intently at the stone, their faces filled with curiosity, eager to see how the inheritance of Divine Doctor An Shiping would reveal itself.

After the eight Divine Doctor’s Orders were placed on the stone platform, a faint sound emerged from within the platform, as if something inside had been activated.

”Are there hidden mechanisms inside the stone platform?” Ning Qianshu whispered in wonder.

”Of course, otherwise, how would the master’s inheritance appear?” Bai Li Xi replied.

At this point, Ning Qianshu had no intention of arguing with Bai Li Xi. He stared intently at the stone platform, his inner strength spreading throughout his body, his hands clutching his unique hidden poisons. He knew very well that once Divine Doctor An Shiping’s inheritance emerged, it would turn into a contest of capture. Acting first gives the advantage, a principle he has always upheld!

As the faint sounds emanated from the stone platform, it began to tremble, and then, under everyone’s intense gaze, the stone platform slowly started descending.

”What’s going on?” Ning Qianshu immediately asked anxiously.

”How would I know?” Bai Li Xi nervously watched the stone platform, saying, ”Could it be the platform descends for the master’s inheritance to emerge?”

”Is that so?” Ning Qianshu became excited at once, watching the slowly descending stone platform, wishing he could press it down quickly. Waiting like this was truly agonizing.

Although the stone platform descended slowly, it eventually disappeared completely, revealing a large pit where it once stood. Before long, sounds began emanating from the pit again, as if something was about to rise.

”Here it comes! It’s coming, it’s coming!” Bai Li Xi shouted excitedly.

”It’s coming!” Ning Qianshu was even more excited, the energy he had accumulated reaching its peak, ready to act at any moment.

The masked elder stood beside the stone platform, his attention more focused on Ning Qianshu and Ding Lianshun.

Despite his grief and anger, Ye Qing knew what mattered more. He joined the masked elder in confronting Ning Qianshu and Ding Lianshun.

He was well aware that if Ning Qianshu obtained Divine Doctor An Shiping’s inheritance, it would spell disaster. Therefore, he would do everything in his power to prevent Ning Qianshu from acquiring it.

As everyone waited, something slowly rose from the pit. As it ascended, Ning Qianshu suddenly waved his hand, scattering a powder intended to envelop Ye Qing and the masked elder.

The masked elder, having anticipated Ning Qianshu’s move, immediately waved his sleeve. A gust of air swept the powder back, enveloping Ning Qianshu and Ding Lianshun instead.

However, Ning Qianshu had already given Ding Lianshun the antidote. Therefore, the powder had no effect on them. But this move meant that neither side was willing to wait any longer.

Ning Qianshu instantly rushed toward the pit, attempting to seize the rising item. Simultaneously, Ye Qing had already leaped forward, delivering a heavy punch at Ning Qianshu.

”You dare to stop me!” Ning Qianshu shouted, ”You truly don’t know life from death!”

Ye Qing’s expression was grim, and he said nothing, putting all his effort into fighting Ning Qianshu. His strength was not as great as Ning Qianshu’s, and he was not particularly concerned about the matter of using poison, as he held the Mu Ling in his hand and was not afraid of any poison whatsoever. Although his strength was inferior, Ye Qing did not aim to defeat Ning Qianshu, only to stop him, and that was enough.

As for the masked elder, he had long been in a fight with Ding Lianshun. Ding Lianshun’s strength was no match for the masked elder at all. However, after learning the Carefree Movement, his Qinggong had improved significantly, and he constantly circled around the masked elder, counterattacking, and the two ended up evenly matched for a moment.

The one most at ease on the scene was Bai Li Xi. He stood by the big pit, watching nervously at the thing gradually rising up, his expression suddenly changing, ”What... what is this?”

The four engaged in the chaotic fight all turned their heads at the same time, only to see that the big pit had now been filled with a Stone Platform. This platform was the same one that had descended just moments ago. However, atop the Stone Platform, the eight Divine Doctor’s Orders were gone, leaving behind only an empty stone platform.

”What’s going on?” Ning Qianshu ignored his struggle with Ye Qing, rushing over to look at the platform, ”Is this... is this the Master’s legacy?”

”Nonsense, this certainly isn’t the Master’s legacy!” Bai Li Xi frowned deeply, ”What’s happening here? According to reason, with all eight Divine Doctor’s Orders in place, the Master’s legacy should appear to find an heir. But, why hasn’t the legacy appeared?”

”Not only has the legacy not appeared, but even the eight Divine Doctor’s Orders are gone, what’s going on?” Ning Qianshu looked at Bai Li Xi, ”Bai Li Xi, you didn’t forget something the Master instructed, did you? Something went wrong, didn’t it?”

”Nonsense, how could I forget something this big?” Bai Li Xi said solemnly, ”Something is wrong, something is wrong. The Master said that when the eight Divine Doctor’s Orders gather on this Stone Platform, it means he’s found a successor. Just now all eight Divine Doctor’s Orders were gathered here, he must have found the heir. So why hasn’t the Master’s legacy appeared?”

”Could it be that the Master’s legacy was left somewhere, and we have to go find it ourselves?” Ning Qianshu asked.

”Certainly not!” Bai Li Xi shook his head decisively, ”The Master said that those with the fate to be his heir would not need to search for his legacy—it would naturally be passed to them. Besides, with the current situation of Medicine King Mountain, even if we searched, it’s impossible to find it. You know the abilities of the Master!”

Ning Qianshu immediately sighed. As a direct disciple of Divine Doctor An Shiping, he was, of course, very aware of Divine Doctor An Shiping’s capabilities. The things An Shiping hid, even if they turned Medicine King Mountain upside down, they would never be able to find.

”Could it be...” Ye Qing looked at Bai Li Xi, ”Could it be that Mr. An hasn’t yet found his destined person? None of us here are qualified to inherit his legacy. That’s why it hasn’t appeared.”

”No!” Bai Li Xi shook his head, ”The Master made it very clear, when the eight Divine Doctor’s Orders gather at Medicine King Mountain, his destined person will surely be there too. You saw just now, all eight Divine Doctor’s Orders were here, meaning his destined person was here too, and his legacy should have appeared.”

”Are they so sure?” Ye Qing said, ”Eight Divine Doctor’s Orders gathered, and the destined person arrived? Don’t you all think that’s quite absurd?”

”It’s not absurd at all!” Bai Li Xi said gravely, ”This was divined personally for the Master by Wuji and the True Buddha. If those two made a mistake, how could it be possible?”

”Wuji? True Buddha?” Ye Qing’s eyes widened. Those two individuals were very well-known figures. If they predicted something, it was likely true. After all, even that charlatan Old Wang Ba had such strong divination skills, let alone those two.

”Then what’s happening now?” Ning Qianshu looked around, ”The Master’s legacy hasn’t appeared, should we go to the mountain and search everywhere? Maybe the Master’s legacy already appeared but not here. Maybe we’ll find it if we go look.”

”No need to search, right?” Bai Li Xi said, ”The Master said that those with the destiny, the legacy would naturally come to them. Now the legacy hasn’t come to us, it means none of us are destined. If we were the destined ones, the legacy would have come to us a long time ago. Since we’re not, even if we go search ourselves, we’ll never find it!”

”Ha, what are you saying!” Ning Qianshu’s eyes widened, ”Only a few of us went into the mountain, and all of us are here. The legacy hasn’t come to us, so who should it go to? Don’t tell me that it was those two swallowed by the Python who were the destined ones! Which one is the destined one? An Hongyuan or Lin Tianyou?”

Upon hearing this, Ye Qing immediately frowned, saying solemnly, ”Mr. Ning, the dead are honored. Brother Lin is no longer with us, and you speak like this behind his back, isn’t it a bit inappropriate?”

Ning Qianshu snorted, although somewhat disdainful, he really didn’t say anything more regarding Lin Tianyou. Although Ning Qianshu was very powerful and usually acted domineeringly, the fact that Lin Tianyou sacrificed himself to save others did earn his genuine respect.

”There’s a reason it hasn’t chosen us.” Bai Li Xi said, ”Besides, we’re not the only ones who went into the mountain. Don’t forget, An Hongyuan entered the mountain too!”

”So what if he did? Isn’t he dead?” Ning Qianshu said, ”You don’t seriously think a dead person is the destined one, do you?”
