Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing and Wen’er did not see the situation of the battle outside just now, and the stone slab was very thick, so when they were isolated inside, they couldn’t hear what the Great Lord said outside, so they didn’t know what was going on outside at all.

When Ye Qing went out, he happened to see Fu Qingping injured and fallen to the ground. At that time, he knew the situation was bad and didn’t dare to stay, so he quickly took Fu Qingping into the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. As for the situation outside, he only glanced at it hurriedly, only seeing the Great Lord chasing The Immortal Lord to fight, and he himself was shocked at why the strength of the Great Lord had suddenly become so strong. Now, hearing Fu Qingping’s words, he finally knew what had happened.

”Master Ancestor, were you injured by people from the Church?” Ye Qing asked in surprise: ”What kind of power did the Great Lord borrow? How did he suddenly become so strong?”

Fu Qingping shook his head and said: ”It wasn’t the people from the Church who injured me, it was The Immortal Lord. I don’t know what power the people from the Church borrowed, but this power is terrifying. Even if I could really break through the acme’s constraints, I definitely wouldn’t be able to withstand this power!”

These words made Ye Qing even more surprised and shocked. He looked at Fu Qingping in surprise and said, ”It was The Immortal Lord who injured you? Not people from the Church? This power is actually so strong?”

Fu Qingping slowly recounted the event that happened outside just now, and after hearing Fu Qingping’s words, Ye Qing finally understood what had happened outside. However, Fu Qingping didn’t understand the foreign language and didn’t know what exactly the Great Lord had said earlier, otherwise he would be able to figure out what power the Great Lord had borrowed.

After hearing Fu Qingping talk about how he helped The Immortal Lord but The Immortal Lord repaid his kindness with betrayal and attacked him, Ye Qing was filled with rage and hit the stone wall beside him heavily, angrily saying, ”The Immortal Lord is such a despicable person. Master Ancestor helped him, yet he repaid kindness with betrayal. It’s really too disgusting!”

Fu Qingping waved his hand and sighed: ”Actually, Huaxia’s martial artists always unite against outsiders when facing people from the Church. It was my mistake; I didn’t expect The Immortal Lord would attack me under such circumstances. Alas, maybe this is a destined calamity in my life!”

Seeing Fu Qingping’s pale face due to excessive blood loss, Ye Qing was both furious and worried. He took out several pieces of Devouring Demon Flower and handed them to Fu Qingping, saying, ”Master Ancestor, why don’t you take a few more pieces of medicine, suppress the injury first and then talk about it!”

”No need.” Fu Qingping shook his head, looking at the Devouring Demon Flower in Ye Qing’s hand, he smiled bitterly and said: ”This medicine not only is ineffective to my injury, but it also conflicts with the power in my body. If I eat more, my injury will only become more severe.”

”Ah?” Ye Qing was stunned, thinking about it, no wonder after giving Fu Qingping so much Devouring Demon Flower, Fu Qingping’s situation did not improve, but instead started to deteriorate. Does this mean that the Devouring Demon Flower will aggravate Fu Qingping’s injury?

It’s known that the efficacy of Devouring Demon Flower is far superior to that of things like Ziyu Chenxiang Pill, with great miraculous effects in healing injuries, curing diseases, and restoring inner strength. Earlier Ye Qing saw Fu Qingping severely injured and immediately took out the Devouring Demon Flower for Fu Qingping to eat, wanting to help Fu Qingping heal. However, after eating for such a long time, Fu Qingping’s injury not only didn’t improve at all, but rather worsened, what is the reason for this? Why is the Devouring Demon Flower, which is effective for others, ineffective for Fu Qingping?

Actually, not only is Ye Qing puzzled by this, even Fu Qingping himself does not understand. He used to eat this Devouring Demon Flower as well, and at that time his inner strength recovered rapidly, the effect was good. However, this time when eating it, why is the Devouring Demon Flower ineffective to him?

However, Fu Qingping doesn’t know that when he ate this Devouring Demon Flower before he was just a peak master, his internal power was quite complex. But now, one foot is already at the threshold above acme; although he hasn’t completely broken through acme’s constraints, the power in his body has already started to change anew, becoming more pure. Fu Qingping’s martial arts lean toward the Taoist Sect, and Devouring Demon Flower is the power of the Demon Sect, it conflicts with the power of the Taoist Sect in his body, so it’s obviously harmful rather than beneficial to his injuries.

In fact, the situation in Ye Qing’s body is quite similar to Fu Qingping’s. Ye Qing has the power of Buddha’s Relic in his body, as well as the power of Devouring Demon Flower, and the power of the Taoist Sect. Every time Ye Qing eats Devouring Demon Flower before, it would cause Buddha’s Relic and the power of Devouring Demon Flower to confront each other. But now when he eats, it’s the result of three powers confronting each other. Yet, these three powers don’t belong to Ye Qing, at most they just confront each other in Ye Qing’s body. Previously, whenever these powers appeared, it also made Ye Qing suffer greatly, after all, the powers were fighting in his body, how could it not be painful? Later, Ye Qing gradually got used to it and felt it was not that painful.

However, the situation for Fu Qingping now is quite troublesome. Fu Qingping is severely injured, taking Devouring Demon Flower at this time to confront the power of the Taoist Sect in his body is not only unbeneficial to the healing of his wound, but it will also worsen his injury; it is really harmful rather than beneficial, and his injury will only get more serious.

”Even the medicine from Ye doesn’t work, what can we do?” Wen’er had tears in her eyes and couldn’t help but whisper with a sob.

”Humans have to die some time, nothing to cry about.” Fu Qingping forced a smile on his face, reached out and patted Wen’er, saying: ”Besides, I’m not dead yet, you’re starting to cry now, that’s a bit early!”

Fu Qingping’s comforting words made Wen’er’s tears flow even more uncontrollably. She turned her head helplessly to look at Ye Qing, hoping Ye Qing would find a way to save Fu Qingping, but she couldn’t speak. Because she knew, Ye Qing wanted to save Fu Qingping even more than she did. But, can he? Even if the Devouring Demon Flower is ineffective, how else can he save Fu Qingping?

”Master Ancestor, you definitely won’t die!” Ye Qing suddenly gritted his teeth, he carried Fu Qingping on his back and said solemnly, ”I’ll take you out to find Bai Li Xi right now. With Bai Li Xi’s medical skills, he will surely be able to save you!”

Fu Qingping slowly shook his head and said, ”Don’t waste your energy. My injury was inflicted by The Immortal Lord, unless Bai Li Xi’s master, Divine Doctor An Shiping, returns, no one can save me. Ye Qing, you’d better take Wen’er and leave this Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. Wo Country’s Ninja have entered this tomb, and the Church’s people likely have too. Carrying me, you won’t be able to get out of this tomb!”

”Who says we can’t get out!” Ye Qing didn’t loosen his grip, and actually started walking back with Fu Qingping on his back.

”Ye, you’ve got the wrong direction!” Wen’er quickly said, ”That’s the direction of the stone gate, the way we came in.”

”I know!” Ye Qing nodded decisively and said, ”I just want to go back!”

”Ah?” Wen’er couldn’t help but be surprised, and Fu Qingping also asked curiously, ”Ye Qing, what are you going back for? The Church’s people must have already come in, and right now, they might be heading this way. If you go back with me, you’ll definitely run into them, and then you’ll be in danger!”

”There’s no danger,” Ye Qing said, ”What they want is the Buddha’s Relic. They won’t kill me. As long as I use the Buddha’s Relic to threaten them, not only will they not kill us, they’ll find a way to save you, Master Ancestor!”

These words made Wen’er’s eyes light up. She couldn’t think of anything else now, as long as Fu Qingping could be saved.

Fu Qingping frowned and said, ”You may not be able to threaten them with the Buddha’s Relic. However, if you fall into their hands, they will definitely find a way to force you to hand over the Buddha’s Relic. Ye Qing, don’t take this risk!”

”There’s no other choice now, no matter what, I have to try. Master Ancestor, I can’t just watch you die here!” Ye Qing replied loudly, ignoring Fu Qingping’s dissuasion, and walked back directly with him on his back.

Wen’er followed closely behind, even though she was quite tired from running for so long, she showed no intention of resting now. Even if there were people from the Church ahead, she had no fear because saving Fu Qingping was the most important thing.

They retraced their steps for about two hours, with Ye Qing and the others tense, as they didn’t know when they might suddenly encounter the Church’s people. But after walking for so long, they hadn’t encountered anything, which made them involuntarily surprised.

”When I saved you, Master Ancestor, The Immortal Lord was being hunted by the Great Lord. In that situation, The Immortal Lord couldn’t hold out for long. Logically, the Church’s people should have entered the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master shortly after I saved you, Master Ancestor. But why have we come so far without encountering any Church people?” Ye Qing looked at the dark stone corridor and whispered, ”Could it be that they didn’t come in?”

”That’s impossible, right?” Wen’er whispered, ”This is the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. Back then, the Great Lord almost fought to the death to seize the Gold Silk Armor, which shows how much the Church’s people cared about the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. Besides, they’ve come so far and have such strength, it’s impossible they wouldn’t enter this tomb, right?”

”Then what on earth is going on?” Ye Qing frowned, looked at Wen’er, and asked, ”Did we see any forks in the road on our way here?”

”No forks at all, this stone corridor is a straight path to the end!” Wen’er affirmed.

”No forks, and we didn’t go in the wrong direction. If they came in, they’d surely follow this path, so why haven’t we encountered them?” Ye Qing whispered to himself.

”Also, isn’t this stone corridor a bit overly long?” Wen’er said irritably, ”We’ve walked for more than ten hours and still haven’t reached the end. In these ten hours, we probably could have walked dozens of kilometers. Is the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master really this big?”
