Urban Martial Saint

Upon hearing Wanyan Hongsheng’s words, Slaughter Venerable snorted coldly and said, ”Since the Wanyan family is so capable, then go and capture Fu Qingping yourself!”

This Slaughter Venerable was not like Executioner Scholar, and naturally didn’t understand Executioner Scholar’s intentions; at this moment, his heart was just filled with anger, wondering why Executioner Scholar had to meddle in this matter.

Executioner Scholar didn’t pay attention to Slaughter Venerable, he smiled faintly and said, ”That’s how it should be. Our alliance with the Wanyan family inherently is one of mutual offense and defense. If we find Fu Qingping, we would certainly notify the members of the Wanyan family immediately, asking everyone to assist. If the Wanyan family finds Fu Qingping first, the four of us will definitely rush over to help without any delay!”

Upon hearing this, Slaughter Venerable felt even more dismal, he glanced at Executioner Scholar, yet ultimately did not speak further.

”Hahaha...” Wanyan Hongsheng laughed heartily and said, ”Scholar’s words are precisely what I intended. Since we have formed an alliance, it’s only natural that we act as one in offense and defense. Rest assured, as soon as we find Fu Qingping, we will contact you all immediately!”

”Quite so!” Executioner Scholar smiled lightly and stood up, saying, ”In that case, let’s not waste any time. Starting today, we will search for that Fu Qingping. Of course, us four brothers are far less informed than the Wanyan family. If there’s any news, I hope the Wanyan family can inform us four brothers beforehand!”

”But of course!” Wanyan Hongsheng also stood up and said, ”Ye Qing is not in Shenchuan City, there’s nothing left for us to linger for. I shall return to the Northern Desert to prepare for the matters ahead. That Bloody Monk is extremely difficult to deal with, and there are a few hidden masters in Shenchuan City aiming to snatch the six keys from him, they’re just seeking their own death. My Wanyan family has prepared a magical treasure to deal with him. Once we find Fu Qingping and obtain the Buddha’s Relic, we will strike the Bloody Monk, confiscate the six keys. By then, we’ll still need you four to help snatch the three maps and the Sun Shooting Bow. With these items combined, it will open the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates!”

Hearing this, Slaughter Venerable was also passionately stirred. He had hidden away for so many years, only waiting for the opportunity to open the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates. Now there was finally hope, and he was very excited indeed.

However, Executioner Scholar was not fooled by a few words from Wanyan Hongsheng, knowing well that even if Heaven Earth Man Three Gates were opened, it would be the Wanyan family’s concern. If the Wanyan family entered the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, everyone else would be trampled on by the Wanyan family, including the four of them. Therefore, the most crucial issue was who could control the Buddha’s Relic, for the one who mastered it could dominate the world and seize the absolute opportunity to enter the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates!

Of course, Executioner Scholar expressed nothing on the surface. Both he and Wanyan Hongsheng harbored ulterior motives, exchanged a few pleasantries, and then parted ways. Not long after Executioner Scholar and the other three left the residence, Slaughter Venerable immediately looked towards him and said, ”Fourth Brother, what were you sitting for just now? Why did you agree to help them deal with Fu Qingping? Isn’t this just making trouble for ourselves?”

Executioner Scholar glanced at him and frowned slightly. This Third Brother, though strong, lacked wits and failed to think things through, which was a big headache for him.

”Third Brother, you don’t understand a damn thing!” Sky-Killing Master suddenly said in a deep voice, ”Whoever makes a move against Fu Qingping can seize the Buddha’s Relic. If the Wanyan family acts first, will we still have a chance to snatch the Buddha’s Relic?”

Hearing this, Slaughter Venerable was startled at first, then realized with delight, ”Yes, yes, why didn’t I think of that? Ah, Fourth Brother’s brain is indeed sharp, even tricking the Wanyan family into helping us find Fu Qingping. Humph, Fu Qingping must have taken Ye Qing. Us four can confront Fu Qingping together; how can we not be able to overpower just one Fu Qingping? Once we get the Buddha’s Relic, Fu Qingping or any Green Peace will have to kneel before us!”

No one answered him, Sky-Killing Master looked on coldly; he did not stop Executioner Scholar because he also wished to find Fu Qingping for revenge. As for Snake Gentleman, his mind was quite similar to Executioner Scholar’s, wanting to seize the Buddha’s Relic before the Wanyan family. He knew clearly that even though all four of them were Peak Masters, they couldn’t compare to forces like the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance and the Wanyan family. Only by obtaining the Buddha’s Relic would they have the standing to compete with such forces!

Many world-hidden experts in Shenchuan City were of the same mind as Executioner Scholar and Snake Gentleman, wanting to get a share, so these people had already left to search for Fu Qingping. Meanwhile, Shenchuan City itself had indeed become quite peaceful.

In the manor of the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance, Helian Tiehua hadn’t managed to find Ye Qing, but Fu Qingping had disappeared as well, which made him less anxious. He knew Fu Qingping well and naturally didn’t believe Fu Qingping had kidnapped Ye Qing. As long as Ye Qing was with Fu Qingping, safety was assured, and there was no need to worry.

Moreover, currently, the Sky Fourth Hall among the Twelve Green Halls were itching for battle, ready to venture across the sea. At this moment, he could not afford to be distracted and had to prepare with full force to handle the Sky Fourth Hall.

Fortunately, Huangfu Ziyu received assistance from the Purple Robe Lama, uniting two of the Seven Great Families to completely suppress Human Fourth Hall. The true determinant of victory, however, lies in the duel between Helian Tiehua and Sky Fourth Hall, the real test of strength.

Although Ye Qing has left, Broom Star remains, still in seclusion inside the manor’s secret chamber. Also lingering in the manor is Old Wang Ba.

Since Ye Qing’s disappearance, Old Wang Ba has been confined to his room, not stepping out even once. On the table, he has placed his turtle shell copper coins for divination. From last night until now, he has cast thousands of hexagrams, not knowing what he is divining. This time, staring at the hexagram on the table, his brows furrowed tightly.

”Impossible! Impossible!” Old Wang Ba murmured, looking at the hexagram on the table, and said in a deep voice: ”His qi luck is still weakening, what exactly is going on? What is Fu Qingping helping him with? Why does it keep draining his qi luck?”

Having studied the Qi Luck Technique meticulously, Old Wang Ba is particularly precise in his grasp of qi luck. Since last night to now, he hasn’t divined Ye Qing’s current whereabouts, as it would consume too much qi luck. However, through his divination, he found that Ye Qing’s qi luck is continuously draining, which makes him very anxious. If the qi luck exhausts, then Ye Qing would reach a dead end.

Unable to hold back, Old Wang Ba picked up the turtle shell copper coins on the table again to divine. Staring at the hexagram, Old Wang Ba was once again astonished, and after a long while, he murmured in a low voice: ”Ye Qing, oh Ye Qing, I meant to support you to save the world, but why is your fate growing weaker? Could it be that I chose the wrong person? Impossible, this is the ancestral master’s legacy, how could I choose wrongly?”

With puzzlement, Old Wang Ba felt deeply confused, so he stood up and slowly paced around the room. He continued to glance at the hexagram on the table, pondering what exactly had happened.

After pacing back and forth for over half an hour, Old Wang Ba suddenly came to a halt. His brows furrowed, he looked at the turtle shell copper coins on the table and suddenly murmured: ”Why is his fate continuously weakening, what is currently happening that still exhausts his qi luck? Could it be... he has gone to the Western Province to find his brother?”

Upon thinking of this, Old Wang Ba’s face drastically changed, he quickly walked to the table, picked up the turtle shell copper coins, intending to use them for divination, but after holding them for just a while, he put them down again. He furrowed his brows and spoke in a deep voice: ”This Dao of divine calculation most exhausts a person’s qi luck. If I blindly calculate, I’m afraid he won’t survive. But, has he really gone to the Western Province? Could this... this truly be destiny?”

Sitting in place for a long time, Old Wang Ba suddenly stood up decisively and said in a deep voice: ”Regardless of whether it’s true, I’ll bet on this. Ye Qing, if you survive this time, boundless fortune awaits you. If you survive, it means I didn’t choose wrong!”

If anyone were in the room at this moment, they would see Old Wang Ba’s face contorted in a terrifying manner. After sitting for a long while, he slowly stood up, took a deep breath, and murmured: ”Releasing this misfortune will bring endless trouble. But if he isn’t released, Ye Qing may also face imminent death. Since the world is already in chaos, having one more makes no difference!”

With that, Old Wang Ba walked straight out of the room. He didn’t linger inside the manor, instead, he left directly, hailed a car heading to the airport.

Just as Old Wang Ba’s car drove out not far, three cars quietly followed behind. These are hidden masters always watching from outside the manor, unwilling to give up. These individuals are very smart, knowing Old Wang Ba is a descendant of the Iron Calculation Sect, while others may not know where Ye Qing went, he surely can calculate it. Hence, they closely follow Old Wang Ba, intent on finding Ye Qing’s whereabouts.

They are unaware, however, that Old Wang Ba is actually leading them. Inside the taxi, Old Wang Ba quietly observed the three cars following behind. Especially upon seeing one particular car, he revealed a slight smug smile at the corner of his mouth, murmuring to himself: ”Du Canglang, a peer to Fu Qingping’s level of mastery. It seems there is hope for this matter!”

In the three cars behind, each holds a peak master, all with the same intent, which is to track Old Wang Ba to find Ye Qing. The three cars arrived at the airport consecutively, parking in the lot. From one car emerged a grey-clothed elder, he glanced at the other two cars, then walked over, raising his right hand to press on the hoods of both cars, and then left leisurely.

The two peak masters sitting in the cars were equally wary when they saw the grey-clothed elder appear. But upon seeing the elder press the car hoods without the vehicles shaking in the slightest, the two were baffled, unsure of what the grey-clothed elder meant.
