Urban Martial Saint

”A corpse?” Everyone was even more shocked. If there was a corpse inside the silver coffin, whose corpse could it be? And whose corpse was capable of keeping the Corpse Ghost Dragon outside of the Yin Mo Formation?

”That’s right!” The Grand Sect Master nodded slowly, saying, ”Inside this silver coffin should be a corpse, and it’s a corpse from the Demon Hideout Cave. The people of the Demon Sect use this corpse to block the entrance to Patriarch Bodhidharma’s secret chamber. Even the Corpse Ghost Dragon cannot move this silver coffin.”

”A single corpse can guard that entrance, preventing the Corpse Ghost Dragon from entering?” the Seventh Sect Leader asked in astonishment.

”Hmph, why would that be impossible?” The Grand Sect Master said in a deep voice, ”Don’t forget, inside the Demon Hideout Cave, the Great Demon King’s corpse guards one area, and no one can approach. The bodies left behind by those beyond peerless masters can retain much of their power from when they were alive. Not to mention guarding an entrance, if strong enough, it could even guard this entire cave.”

”So, have they moved the Great Demon King’s corpse here?” The Seventh Sect Leader was even more astonished.

”How can your understanding be so poor?” The Grand Sect Master said helplessly, ”I was just giving an example with the Great Demon King to illustrate that a person’s corpse after death can indeed be terrifying. The Great Demon King’s corpse has always guarded the Demon Hideout Cave; don’t even mention moving it, approaching it is also impossible. However, many people have died in the Demon Hideout Cave over the years. Especially the top figures of the Demon Sect, they all enter the Demon Hideout Cave when they are about to die, like returning to their roots. Among them are some beyond peerless masters, so if the Demon Sect wants to block this entrance, they only need to find the corpse of a beyond peerless master to guard the entrance.”

”I see.” Everyone suddenly understood. After the Grand Sect Master’s explanation, they finally comprehended the situation inside the silver coffin.

”Though it is my speculation, it seems likely. Otherwise, how could they guard this entrance?” The Grand Sect Master paused, speaking in a deep voice, ”I just don’t know whose corpse is inside this silver coffin, to be used by the predecessors of the Demon Sect to guard this entrance. It indicates that the power of the corpse must be extraordinary, ranking among the top masters of the Demon Sect.”

”Then Ye Qing can’t possibly move this silver coffin,” the Third Sect Master said in a deep voice, ”So how did he enter the chamber where Patriarch Bodhidharma passed away?”

”That’s what I most want to know.” The Grand Sect Master looked at the inner wall of the Stone Corridor, speaking in a deep voice, ”I want to see what ability Ye Qing possesses that allows him to move a silver coffin that even the Corpse Ghost Dragon can’t shift!”

Everyone also looked at the inner wall of the Stone Corridor. After hearing the Grand Sect Master’s words, they also wanted to know how Ye Qing managed to move this silver coffin. Since Shijia chose Ye Qing, everyone believed that Ye Qing could open this Stone Chamber. The question is, how can he do it?

At this time, inside the grand hall, the fight became increasingly intense. Ye Qing was being chased by ten Ironclad Puppets. Although his speed was faster than these Ironclad Puppets, it was still useless. These Ironclad Puppets couldn’t be damaged, and their strength matched Ye Qing’s. Ten attacked together, and eventually, Ye Qing’s stamina was drained, while these Ironclad Puppets continued to attack vigorously, the outcome foreseeable.

Ye Qing had already sustained two injuries on his body. Facing these Ironclad Puppets, he could only desperately flee and couldn’t engage them head-on. Meanwhile, Nine-Fingers Wu Yong and others, circling the Stone Platform, couldn’t find any mechanism or entrance, the situation becoming more dire.

”Damn, is there no way out?” Handsome Fatty Wang said furiously, ”It sounds hollow up there, but we can’t find any mechanism. How the hell do we get in?”

Nine-Fingers Wu Yong didn’t answer Handsome Fatty Wang. He frowned, silently pondering for a moment, then said in a low voice, ”There is definitely a passage inside. But this entrance...”

Upon saying this, Nine-Fingers Wu Yong paused and gazed up at the silver coffin on the platform, saying, ”This entrance is most likely underneath the silver coffin.”

With his extensive tomb-raiding experience, Nine-Fingers Wu Yong had tapped around here for a bit, and just by the sound, he had located the entrance’s position.

”Underneath the silver coffin?” Handsome Fatty Wang widened his eyes, ”Then... what to do? Didn’t you say touching that silver coffin is out of the question?”

”That’s why it’s most troublesome now!” Nine-Fingers Wu Yong furrowed his brow tightly, feeling helpless about the situation. They found the entrance, but it was blocked by the silver coffin, leaving everyone stuck.

”Fatty, catch this.” From a distance, Ye Qing suddenly shouted, throwing over the scabbard of the Ancestor of Miao Dao.

Handsome Fatty Wang hurriedly caught the scabbard, asking curiously, ”Why give me this?”

”If we can’t find a mechanism, use this scabbard to dig an entrance,” Ye Qing shouted loudly, performing a roll on the spot to dodge the Ironclad Puppets surrounding him, then hurriedly ran to another corner of the grand hall. Now, he relied on his speed to elude these Ironclad Puppets. If not for his speed far surpassing these puppets, he would have been long dead by now.

”That’s right!” Handsome Fatty Wang’s eyes lit up. Wasn’t it true that Ye Qing dug an entrance with this scabbard in the past instances?

The other people were also very excited. A man quickly ran over and shouted, ”Let me!”

The man snatched the scabbard from Handsome Fatty Wang’s hand, walked to the edge of the platform, and forcefully stabbed it in, intending to dig an entrance from the side. However, when the scabbard hit the platform, it was as if an ordinary blade hit fine steel; it couldn’t move an inch forward, let alone pierce the stone platform.

”Huh? Why can’t it get in?” the man wondered, ”Is this really a famed instrument?”

”How can it not go in?” Handsome Fatty Wang immediately came over, grabbed the scabbard from the man’s hand, and said, ”Do you even know how to use high-end stuff like this? Let me show you!”

Handsome Fatty Wang spat on his palm, rubbed his hands vigorously, gripped the scabbard tightly, and shouted before attempting to stab it into the stone platform with great force. But the result was the same as before; the scabbard couldn’t penetrate the stone platform.

”What the heck?” Handsome Fatty Wang’s eyes widened in disbelief. He had seen Ye Qing easily pierce the scabbard into the stone wall before, so why couldn’t he do it now?

”Let me! Let me!”

Nine-Fingers Wu Yong’s subordinates, one after another, ran over, refusing to accept this failure and tried it themselves, but the result was the same. The scabbard simply couldn’t penetrate the stone platform.

”Young Ye, did you give me a fake?” Handsome Fatty Wang asked angrily.

”How is that possible?” Ye Qing shouted angrily. ”I used it before, you all saw it. This scabbard is more powerful than ordinary famed instruments; how could it be fake?”

”Then why can’t it pierce even this stone platform?” Handsome Fatty Wang said frustratedly.

Ye Qing was also very frustrated. The scabbard worked perfectly in his hands, but as soon as it got to Handsome Fatty Wang and his group, it became useless.

”Don’t blame the famed instrument, the problem is with this stone platform!” Nine-Fingers Wu Yong suddenly said in a deep voice, ”The material of this stone platform is unusual. It’s likely not ordinary stone but mysterious iron stone. This kind of stone, as hard as mysterious iron, is used to make famed instruments. Even a famed instrument can’t damage mysterious iron stone!”

”Really?” Handsome Fatty Wang’s eyes widened again as he looked at the stone platform and said, ”Damn it, if what you’re saying is true, we’re really screwed. If we can’t find the mechanism and this stone platform is so hard, are we really going to die here?”

Nine-Fingers Wu Yong didn’t speak. His brow was also tightly furrowed, as he too had no idea how to resolve this.

”Hey, can you guys think of something quickly?” Ye Qing shouted anxiously from afar, ”These armored forces are really strong, and I’m about to give out. If you don’t come up with a way to get out of here soon, we’re all going to die here!”

Handsome Fatty Wang looked at Ye Qing, who was covered in bloodstains, and then at the armored puppets behind him. He suddenly gritted his teeth and said, ”Damn it, if it’s hopeless, let’s just move this silver coffin. The entrance is underneath the silver coffin. Move the silver coffin, and we can get in!”

”No, you absolutely cannot move that silver coffin!” Nine-Fingers Wu Yong said sternly.

”At a time like this, when we’re almost losing our lives, you’re still afraid of what’s in the silver coffin?” Handsome Fatty Wang said angrily, ”If we don’t get out of here soon, we’ll be chopped into pieces by those armors soon. We’ll either be cut into pieces by those armors or killed by whatever’s inside the silver coffin. No matter how we die, the result is the same. We might as well take a chance; maybe we can escape before whatever’s inside the silver coffin comes out!”

Nine-Fingers Wu Yong’s subordinates were all in panic, and hearing Handsome Fatty Wang’s words, it was clear they all supported the idea.

Nine-Fingers Wu Yong frowned deeply. He knew that at this point, it was impossible to insist on not moving the silver coffin. He sighed a long sigh and said, ”Fat Wang, what you say makes a lot of sense. Let’s do it, move the silver coffin first and find the entrance!”

”That’s the spirit!” Handsome Fatty Wang said excitedly, jumping onto the stone platform, ”In that case, let’s decide like this. I’ll move the silver coffin first, and everyone be careful!”

The people below the platform were almost all holding their breaths as they watched Handsome Fatty Wang. Moving the silver coffin would decide their life or death. If there was an entrance under the silver coffin, they still had a chance to survive. If not, they were doomed for sure!
