Urban Martial Saint

After learning the value of the Gold Silk Armor from Old Wang Ba regarding the Church, Ye Qing directly called the Great Lord. On that note, the Great Lord had also left his contact information, obviously to facilitate Ye Qing’s contact with him.

The phone rang three times before it was connected, and from the other end came the icy voice of the Great Lord: ”Ye Qing, your call came sooner than I expected. Have you thought of a reason for me to release your brother?”

”I don’t want to waste words, let me hear my brother’s voice first, then we can talk!” Ye Qing said straightforwardly.

”Ye, do you think you are in a position to bargain with me?” the Great Lord replied coldly.

”If you don’t want to bargain, then there’s nothing to say,” Ye Qing said. ”Since I’m calling you, I’ve obviously thought of a reason for you to release my brother. If we want to cooperate, you have to let me ensure my brother’s safety first. If I can’t be sure of my brother’s safety, then I’m sorry, I can’t tell you the reason. And if anything happens to my brother, I guarantee that you’ll absolutely not walk out of Huaxia alive!”

”Hahaha...” The Great Lord laughed coldly, as if he had heard the funniest joke, and said loudly, ”Ye Qing, do you think you can stop me from leaving Huaxia? Do you really think the entire Huaxia is under your control?”

”I can’t stop you, but dare you leave Huaxia?” Ye Qing said coldly, ”Don’t forget what the Church’s attitude towards you is right now!”

These words made the Great Lord pause slightly. The reason he risked staying in Huaxia is that he doesn’t dare return to the Church now. If he were to leave Huaxia and return to the Church at this time, the Church people would punish him immediately, or even kill him directly. So he must make a contribution in Huaxia before he can leave; going back directly would be no different from courting death.

”I won’t talk nonsense with you; you want to hear your brother’s voice, no problem,” the Great Lord said gravely. ”But I warn you, if the reason you give me later doesn’t satisfy me, then I’ll break one of your brother’s legs and send it to you tomorrow. Until you give me a reason that satisfies me, I won’t release your brother, understand?”

”No problem!” Ye Qing replied very simply, seemingly very confident.

The Great Lord didn’t understand why Ye Qing was so confident, but he still dragged Ye Jun, who was locked next to him, over and placed the phone to his ear, saying: ”Your brother is talking to you.”

Ye Jun couldn’t understand the foreign language, but he vaguely heard the voice on the phone beside him, knowing it was his brother calling. He gritted his teeth, looked at the Great Lord, took a deep breath, and said softly, ”Brother, I’m fine, you don’t have to worry about me. He doesn’t dare to kill me!”

Upon hearing his brother’s voice, Ye Qing’s face changed, and he quickly said, ”Junzi, don’t worry, brother will definitely save you!”

”Get lost!” The Great Lord’s voice came again from the other end, followed by the sound of someone falling, but there was no sound of Ye Jun screaming.

”What are you doing?” Ye Qing was furious, he knew the Great Lord must have thrown Ye Jun out. Ye Jun’s character was stubborn, even if in pain, he wouldn’t cry out.

”Alright, you’ve heard your brother’s voice too, can we talk business now?” The Great Lord sneered coldly, saying, ”Rest assured, only if your reason doesn’t satisfy me will I break your brother’s limbs. If your reason satisfies me this time, I assure you, he will return intact!”

Ye Qing took a breath, was silent for a moment, and said in a low voice, ”I’ll exchange an item for my brother!”

”What item? Buddha’s Relic, or Healing Holy Medicine?” The Great Lord sneered, ”Ye Qing, don’t you understand my intention? I don’t want something so simple, I want to safely acquire both things. Do you understand what ’safety’ means?”

Ye Qing: ”I’m not using those two things to exchange for my brother!”

”Not those two things?” The Great Lord’s voice immediately turned cold, saying, ”Ye Qing, do you think there’s anything else that can be used to exchange for your brother’s life? Hmph, Ye Qing, it seems your reason doesn’t satisfy me, I might as well break one of your brother’s legs!”

Realizing the Great Lord’s voice was off, Ye Qing said in a low voice, ”Don’t you want to hear what exactly I’ll use to exchange for my brother?”

”What do you think is worth my time listening to?” the Great Lord retorted.

”What if it’s Gold Silk Armor?” Ye Qing said coldly.

”What Gold Silk Armor?” The Great Lord hadn’t reacted.

”Gold Silk Armor that can locate the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master…” Ye Qing said, ”You shouldn’t have not heard of it, right?”

”Gold Silk Armor that can locate the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master?” Numerous thoughts flashed in the Great Lord’s mind, and for a moment, he was stunned. No wonder Gold Silk Armor sounded familiar; it was also recorded on the Church’s side. Moreover, the Church classified this Gold Silk Armor as a must-have item because the Church was very keen to know what is exactly inside the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master.

To the Church, the significance of the Gold Silk Armor is far more important than the Buddha’s Relic. The Buddha’s Relic is merely a weapon; even if the Church takes it, its most effect will be to weaken Huaxia’s strength, but it’s merely an ornament for the Church. However, Gold Silk Armor is different. Gold Silk Armor can locate the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, and inside the tomb might hide the greatest secret of the Taoist Sect. Compared to the Buddha’s Relic used as an ornament, the Gold Silk Armor’s function is much greater.

The Great Lord bringing back the Buddha’s Relic would count as a significant accomplishment. However, if he brought back the Gold Silk Armor, that would be an enormous contribution. If bringing back the Buddha’s Relic was just an accomplishment to save his life, then bringing back the Gold Silk Armor would change fate; his status in the Church would be greatly enhanced!

”Gold Silk Armor!” The Great Lord gritted his teeth, controlling his excitement, and said in a low voice, ”How can I be sure you’re telling the truth? Huaxia has made so many imitations of the Gold Silk Armor. What you’re giving me, how do I know it’s real?”

”It’s too easy to verify the authenticity of the Gold Silk Armor,” Ye Qing said coldly. ”First, the lock encasing the Gold Silk Armor is made of Dragon Blood Wood; you should be able to recognize Dragon Blood Wood, right?”

”Who knows if what you locked with Dragon Blood Wood is authentic Gold Silk Armor?” the Great Lord replied coldly.

”That brings us to the second point…” Ye Qing paused and said in a low voice, ”Real Gold Silk Armor has no weight!”

”No weight?” The Great Lord’s heart stirred; he had seen this point in the Church’s records. At the time, he hadn’t paid much attention, but now suddenly remembered upon hearing it. The Church’s records indeed mentioned that real Gold Silk Armor has no weight. Could it be that what Ye Qing said is real Gold Silk Armor?

”That’s right, real Gold Silk Armor is weightless!” Ye Qing said, ”After you get the Gold Silk Armor, just test it, and you’ll know. Whether it has weight is something that can be easily tested, right?”

”Who knows if you would fake this?” the Great Lord replied.

”Great Lord, I don’t know if you have a problem in the head, or if I misunderstood,” Ye Qing said with disdain. ”Gold Silk Armor is weightless; how could I fake such a thing? Under heaven, can you find anything without weight? Even if I wanted to make a counterfeit, could I do it?”

This left the Great Lord speechless, for it was indeed so. Under heaven, is there anything else without weight? Except for the Gold Silk Armor and the Sun Shooting Bow, everything else has weight. It’s impossible to make a material without weight. To counterfeit Gold Silk Armor is simply impossible!

”Gold Silk Armor, indeed not bad!” The Great Lord took a deep breath and said coldly, ”Ye Qing, you aren’t planning to play any tricks on me, are you? Gold Silk Armor is more important than the Buddha’s Relic. Why would you willingly give me the Gold Silk Armor but not the Buddha’s Relic? This isn’t quite normal!”

”The Buddha’s Relic is hidden more secretively by me. Even if I go to find it, it would take some time. But I’m not sure how patient you are. If too much time passes, I’m afraid my brother will be in danger!” Ye Qing paused and said in a low voice, ”Besides, the Gold Silk Armor can only help me locate the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. However, the Buddha’s Relic has real power within it. If I have the Buddha’s Relic, I still have the power to confront enemies. But holding the Gold Silk Armor doesn’t have this effect, you should understand my meaning, right!”

”Hahahaha…” The Great Lord burst into laughter and said, ”Ye, I thought you were so selfless, but it seems you have personal motives too. Fine, very good! You’re willing to trade the Gold Silk Armor for your brother; it’s no problem. But I need to know how to use the Gold Silk Armor to locate the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, and I need to obtain the Gold Silk Armor safely, you understand?”

”Of course!” Ye Qing said, ”Since I’m giving you a reason to release my brother, I’ll definitely hand over the Gold Silk Armor safely. You know the situation in Shenchuan City now, only my grandmaster sits here, and my grandmaster is the person you most fear. If you want to get the Gold Silk Armor safely, the best method is to stay away from my grandmaster. Let’s do this: tomorrow I will take my grandmaster on a plane to the Capital. While we’re flying, it should be enough time for you to take the Gold Silk Armor, right?”

The Great Lord’s heart was stirred; this was indeed a good method. Ye Qing taking Fu Qingping on a plane, while they are in the air, even if Fu Qingping has miraculous powers, he can’t come down from the plane. This way, Fu Qingping is no longer in Shenchuan City. As long as Fu Qingping is not in Shenchuan City, there’s nothing he needs to fear. Now in Shenchuan City, without any Peak Master, what does he need to be afraid of?
