Urban Martial Saint

”Senior Du, do you not trust me, Wan Yan Yong, or do you not trust my Wanyan Family?” Wan Yan Yong looked at Du Canglang, saying in a deep voice, ”I just swore a deadly oath, so naturally, I wouldn’t go against it. If Senior Du truly doesn’t trust me, you might as well kill us here.”

”Hehehe...” Du Canglang smiled faintly at Wan Yan Yong and said, ”I said, I have no grievances with the Wanyan Family, so why would I kill you?”

Hearing this, Wan Yan Yong couldn’t help but feel delighted and said, ”So, Senior Du agrees to let us go?”

”Oh, not so fast.” Du Canglang smiled faintly while looking at the seven forks in the road ahead and said, ”What exactly is behind here?”

Wan Yan Yong hesitated slightly. Not many people knew about the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master. If he tells Du Canglang about it, wouldn’t that be revealing important secrets? However, given the current situation, if he didn’t tell the truth, they probably wouldn’t make it out of there alive. So, after contemplating for a long time, Wan Yan Yong decided to reveal the situation regarding the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master.

”The Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master!?” A gleam flashed in Du Canglang’s eyes; he didn’t know about this before. Now that he learned that this was the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master, he naturally felt excited. The Duwang Sect Master was a Supreme of his era, his strength was far beyond that of a person like Du Canglang. There must be something important hidden in his tomb, and even Du Canglang couldn’t help but feel a bit envious.

”So this was the place where the Duwang Sect Master was buried, who could have thought, really surprising!” Du Canglang turned his head to look around and said, ”No wonder there are so many traps here, and so many wild mountain people; they all seem to be here for tomb guarding.”

”You’ve seen those long-haired monsters?” Ye Qing couldn’t help but exclaim.

”Of course!” Du Canglang nodded and said, ”Not only did I see them, but I also killed many of them. These wild mountain people are intelligent but uncivilized, not much different from beasts. However, their strength is quite suitable for guarding tombs. With so many wild mountain people, any ordinary peak master encountering them would likely be in danger!”

Ye Qing was even more astonished; he finally understood why there were so many long-haired monster corpses in the cave. Moreover, when he had entered the cave earlier, why did all those long-haired monsters appear at once? It seemed they had encountered Du Canglang and fought with him. This meant Du Canglang must have entered the cave through the door above the pile of bones, just missing Ye Qing. If it hadn’t been for Zhou Changjin capturing him and bringing him back to that cave, he might have escaped Mount Duwang by now!

Wan Yan Yong also looked at Du Canglang in shock. They had entered the cave through the waterway, encountered not only crocodiles but had also fought with those long-haired monsters. The Wanyan Family suffered significant losses due to these long-haired monsters, and he fully understood their combat prowess. They lost almost half their people just getting past those long-haired monsters to reach this place. Unexpectedly, Du Canglang faced so many long-haired monsters alone, not only unscathed but even killed many of them. Du Canglang’s strength was indeed terrifying!

”You came here seeking the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master, what exactly are you looking for?” Du Canglang asked again.

”Of course, it’s the Tianzhu Sword.” Wan Yan Yong replied.

”Hmph!” Du Canglang’s expression turned cold immediately, looking at Wan Yan Yong coldly, he said in a deep voice, ”Are you trying to lie to me? The Tianzhu Sword was taken by The Immortal Lord long ago; there’s no way it could be in the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master. Even Wanyan Hongfeng knows about this; there’s no way the people of Wanyan Family don’t know!”

”Senior Du misunderstood.” Wan Yan Yong hurriedly said, ”We really came here for the Tianzhu Sword. Of course, the Tianzhu Sword isn’t in the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master, but there is another very crucial thing in there.”

”What thing?” Du Canglang asked hurriedly.

”The Tianzhu Sword Technique!” Wan Yan Yong explained.

”The Tianzhu Sword Technique?” A gleam flashed in Du Canglang’s eyes, and he said in a deep voice, ”There’s such a thing? Why haven’t I heard of it?”

”The matter of the Tianzhu Sword Technique was accidentally discovered by a senior of my Wanyan Family from an ancient tomb.” Wan Yan Yong said, ”This tomb likely belonged to a disciple of the Duwang Sect Master, who was very familiar with the affairs of the Doomsday Sect, including the Tianzhu Sword. He recorded the Tianzhu Sword Technique in the tomb and even explained that to wield the Tianzhu Sword, one must have the Tianzhu Sword Technique. Otherwise, even if one obtains the Tianzhu Sword, it would be useless. Furthermore, if used forcibly, one would be countered by the Tianzhu Sword. The Tianzhu Sword Technique was something the Duwang Sect Master specifically left behind to guard against those with ill intentions. Imagine if the Tianzhu Sword fell into the hands of malevolent people and could be easily used by them, wouldn’t the world fall into chaos? So, he left the Tianzhu Sword Technique to control the Tianzhu Sword.”

Du Canglang had never known about these things before. After listening to Wan Yan Yong, his face changed several times in an instant. The matter of the Tianzhu Sword Technique also shook him to his core. He never dreamed that the Tianzhu Sword would actually have a technique associated with it. Fortunately, he hadn’t obtained the Tianzhu Sword yet; otherwise, if he couldn’t use the sword, it wouldn’t matter, but being countered by the sword itself would be genuinely dangerous. Even though Du Canglang was strong, he dared not underestimate the Tianzhu Sword!

”The Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master is just beyond this crossroad?” Du Canglang looked at the seven crossroads, furrowed his brows, and asked, ”Which path leads to the Tomb of the Duwang Sect Master?”

”Well...” Wan Yan Yong shook his head and said, ”Senior Du, we don’t know which path leads to the final tomb. However, before you came here, we tried to enter. These seven paths are completely impassable. Each path is riddled with mechanisms, and we’ve lost over twenty people without anyone making it through. I think unless a disciple from the Doomsday Sect returns and can break the mechanisms inside, outsiders simply can’t make it in!”

”Is that so?” Du Canglang sounded doubtful, suddenly looking at the nearby dozen foreigners. In a deep voice, he commanded, ”You go in first and scout the way for me.”

Among these foreigners, some could understand Huaxia. Those who understood changed their expressions because they were well aware of the consequences of entering these seven paths. Previously, they had followed Zhou Changjin here and witnessed members of the South Ridge Sect dying one by one inside these paths. Now being told to enter, they were very unwilling.

”Didn’t you hear me?” Du Canglang shouted suddenly, his voice like rolling thunder, causing everyone’s eardrums to buzz. These foreigners shivered with fright; when Du Canglang got angry, they couldn’t maintain their calm.

”Roll inside and scout the way; don’t you understand?” Wan Yan Yong shouted as well, ”Get in immediately, or I’ll kill you first!”

The foreigners exchanged looks but ultimately had to step into the seven paths one by one. They knew if they didn’t go, Du Canglang would certainly kill them immediately. The Red-robed Archbishop and Lord were one dead and one injured, all thanks to Du Canglang. They were powerless against him. If they didn’t comply, they would surely die on the spot, so they could only enter and try, at least extending their lives a bit longer.

Watching these people go in, Du Canglang went to sit on the side. He said nothing, just stared at the seven crossroads, with no one knowing what he was thinking.

Wan Yan Yong stood beside him, actually eager to leave with the Wanyan Family. But as Du Canglang hadn’t told them to leave, he dared not act rashly. They couldn’t discern Du Canglang’s intentions; if they angered him, they too would surely die. Despite his anxiety, he had no choice but to wait there with Du Canglang.

Ye Qing looked at Du Canglang, then at Wan Yan Yong, suddenly turning to walk over to Wen’er. Two people from the Wanyan Family were still holding Wen’er, surprised to see Ye Qing approaching, not knowing what he intended. At that moment, Ye Qing suddenly reached out and slapped the two across their faces.

Ye Qing, lacking Inner Strength, was naturally slower than before. The Wanyan Family members who managed to survive in the cave were all strong. Seeing Ye Qing reach out, one immediately grabbed Ye Qing’s wrist and asked in a deep voice, ”What are you trying to do?”

”Trying to hit you!” Ye Qing replied, suddenly lunging forward, crashing into the person.

Although the person was very strong, he didn’t expect Ye Qing to crash into him like this. Unprepared, he was knocked into; although it wasn’t painful, he was furious, glaring at Ye Qing and snapping, ”You dare hit me?”

”What’s there to be afraid of?” Ye Qing laughed aloud, ”Why, would you dare kill me?”

”You...” The person was enraged, just about to speak, when Wan Yan Yong stopped him. Wan Yan Yong wasn’t foolish; he saw Ye Qing causing trouble intentionally to provoke the Wanyan Family. If they struck Ye Qing, it might infuriate Du Canglang. Uncertain whether Du Canglang would let them go, provoking him now would be utterly unwise.

”If you don’t dare kill me, then be quiet.” Ye Qing pointed at Wen’er beside him and said, ”Let her go!”

The two exchanged glances but didn’t release Ye Qing, pretending not to hear his words.

”Not letting her go is fine too.” Ye Qing casually picked up a weapon from the ground, speaking slowly, ”Just because you won’t kill me doesn’t mean I won’t kill you. If you don’t let her go, don’t blame me for being rude!”
