Urban Martial Saint

”Whether Mr. Ye has been stalling for time, all the heroes of the world are here, and everyone can see clearly!” Ye Qinglang shouted loudly, ”I made it very clear earlier, I only have a few words to say, and once I’m finished, I can produce the item from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. However, it was the people of the Sword Saint Sect who kept interrupting, preventing me from finishing these few words. Now, it is the people from the Sword Saint Sect accusing me of stalling, alas, it seems this despicable nature is a tradition of the Sword Saint Sect!”

The servant who heard these words also looked extremely grim. He gritted his teeth and said, ”Ye, don’t show off your sharp tongue just for now. You should know, the more you say, the more you lose!”

The servant’s words were meant to threaten Ye Qing not to speak carelessly. But Ye Qing just sneered coldly and said, ”The Sword Saint Sect is so powerful, if they want to kill Mr. Ye, they can do so at any time. There’s no need to threaten me this way.”

He didn’t expect that Ye Qing would still not be afraid after such a threat, which left the servant surprised and afraid to speak further. The heroes of the world already looked very angry at their expressions, so if he kept on, it might not end well today.

Seeing the people of the Sword Saint Sect no longer speaking, Ye Qing then smiled again and said, ”Since the people of the Sword Saint Sect are no longer stalling for time, then Mr. Ye will say what I wanted to say!”

The few members of the Sword Saint Sect looked extremely unpleasant. This was clearly Ye Qing stalling for time, yet how did it come out of Ye Qing’s mouth that it was the people of the Sword Saint Sect delaying time? But the key problem is that Ye Qing’s words really garnered quite a few people’s agreement; everyone’s expressions looked quite displeased, which made the people of the Sword Saint Sect even more depressed.

However, letting it go as it may, to rebut further at this moment would surely anger the heroes of the world. So, the few of the Sword Saint Sect could only keep their mouths shut and remain silent.

But their silence did not mean the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect would not speak. The Young Master, being extremely arrogant by nature, was already seething with anger after being chided by Ye Qing a few times without being able to retort. Hearing Ye Qing’s words again, he became even more furious.

The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect shouted in anger, ”Ye, you better say clearly whether it is you who is stalling for time or our Sword Saint Sect people!”

The few servants of the Sword Saint Sect all had a change of expression; the Young Master speaking at this juncture is basically challenging the patience of the heroes.

”Is this never going to end?” Finally, an angry voice rang out from within the crowd. Everyone turned their heads and saw a tall man standing among them, who had shouted the previous words.

No one recognized this man, but his words certainly shocked a lot of people. Although everyone begrudged the Sword Saint Sect, no one actually dared to speak out against them. Wasn’t he afraid to stand out?

In fact, only Ye Qing knew that this man was actually one of his own disguised. With a simple makeup, he had blended into the crowd when they entered the main building, ready to create momentum for Ye Qing amid the chaos. He shouted those words just after catching Ye Qing’s eye.

”What did you say!” The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect shouted angrily.

”I asked if you’re done or not!” The man was unyielding and loudly responded, ”How long are you Sword Saint Sect people planning to stall for time? The heroes of the world are all here, and you just keep mumbling without end, what exactly do you intend to do? Ye Qing has said several times he was going to bring out the item from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, but it’s you all who keep interrupting. Sword Saint Sect, what exactly do you intend to do? Why are you stalling for time?”

Hearing this, several people turned their eyes to the Sword Saint Sect people, and plenty felt astonished. Indeed, during the entire process, the Sword Saint Sect people have been mumbling non-stop, clearly stalling for time. Is it that the Sword Saint Sect people have some plan, so they’ve been stalling?

Unconsciously, the expression of the heroes of the world when looking at the Sword Saint Sect carried some hostility. After all, the Sword Saint Sect was the strongest, and in truth, everyone had already regarded the Sword Saint Sect as the number one enemy. But nobody dared to come out and stand against the Sword Saint Sect first. Now that this man said such things, naturally it invited a lot of hostility towards the Sword Saint Sect, and many were already pondering banding together against the Sword Saint Sect.

The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect was angrier than ever, roaring, ”How dare you talk about our Sword Saint Sect like that, do you even know...”

”Shut up!” At this moment, another man shouted, ”Quickly let Ye Qing say those few words and then hand over the item from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. If you keep mumbling, just get the hell out!”

”Yes, get out!” Someone else shouted and these individuals were, in fact, all arranged by Ye Qing to be there.

Even though there weren’t many of them, they did incite quite a few people. With these individuals’ angry shouting, several hot-tempered ones joined in, clamoring for the Sword Saint Sect people to get out. As their numbers increased, the scene grew more chaotic, and more people joined in, clamoring for the Sword Saint Sect to get out.

Initially, when there were only a few of them, the Sword Saint Sect people could still shout back and threaten the crowd. But as the situation evolved with almost everyone at the scene clamoring for the Sword Saint Sect to get out, things got a bit hard to control.

The Sword Saint Sect people, although arrogant, understood it was unwise to anger the crowd. Just in this hall, there were dozens of peak masters all clamoring for them to leave. Moreover, with the fervent demeanor of these people, if they dared say anything more, they feared the crowd would definitely swarm and besiege them.

The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect was most furious, still wanting to shout back. But the leading servant came over quietly and stopped him.

”Young Master, do not act rashly!” The servant whispered, ”Defying public outrage is unwise; we should leave for now!”

”What? Leave?” The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect raged, ”How could we leave? This concerns the item from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master!”

”The Sect Leader only sent us to scout, not to retrieve,” the servant whispered, ”There’s no need to offend all the heroes now. Defying public anger, we’d better leave first. Otherwise, if the heroes of the world charge together, we might not be able to escape!”

”Let them charge, am I afraid of them?” The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect muttered, but in truth, his voice had already weakened. Surrounded by dozens of peak masters, who wouldn’t be scared?

”It seems you’re not welcome here anymore!” Ye Qing sighed and said aloud, ”Perhaps the members of the Sword Saint Sect should step out and rest for a while, otherwise the heroes’ anger cannot be appeased!”

The Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect was furious, wanting to retort, but was stopped by the servant beside him. That servant coldly looked at Ye Qing and said, ”Ye Qing, today’s grudge, the Sword Saint Sect will not let it rest.”

He also swept a cold glance around at the people before turning to pull away the Young Master of the Sword Saint Sect.

The surrounding people were still somewhat afraid of the Sword Saint Sect but, emboldened by their numbers, they cheered as they watched them leave. Though the Sword Saint Sect members were infuriated, they truly didn’t dare turn back; they were afraid of a brawl which might lead them to become minced meat.

As he watched the Sword Saint Sect people leave, Ye Qing smiled slightly; this was exactly the result he wanted. By first driving away the Sword Saint Sect people, matters would be easier to handle. After all, none of the remaining people had strength comparable to the Sword Saint Sect’s, with Hong Alliance’s Seven Steering Committees and Twelve Green Halls currently holding sway.

”Ye Qing, now that the Sword Saint Sect people have left, shouldn’t you bring out the item from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master?” a peak master loudly demanded, immediately garnering agreement from many around.

”Of course!” Ye Qing nodded and said, ”Let me first say a few things. Firstly, the item from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master was brought out by me. I also wish to hand it over to the heroes of the world, but there are just too many heroes, and figuring out who to hand it over to is quite an issue. I’ve thought about it a lot and finally came up with a rather suitable method!”

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath, wanting to see who Ye Qing planned to give the item from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master to.

Looking at the crowd, Ye Qing suddenly declared loudly, ”The method is to distribute the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master to everyone, so anyone can obtain it, and everyone will have a share!”

Hearing that everyone would have a share, many were incredibly excited. Yet quite a few were puzzled about what exactly the item from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master was, and how it could be shared among everyone.

”Secondly, I want to mention...” once more looking around, Ye Qing said, ”everyone knows when I entered the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, I was tricked by the Wanyan Family and nearly died inside.”

Wanyan Hongsheng’s breathing paused slightly. Watching Ye Qing, he was wondering what exactly Ye Qing planned to do. Could it be Ye Qing wanted to join forces with the heroes of the world to counter the Wanyan Family? That seemed unlikely. How could Ye Qing possibly drive the heroes of the world to his will?

Ye Qing continued loudly, ”The matters regarding the Wanyan Family, you all should know better than I do. I’m not trying to incite hostility between you all and the Wanyan Family, just to caution you all to be wary of them. They not only want the items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master but wish to monopolize them. So, should you obtain items from the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, beware of being silenced by the Wanyan Family!”

Wanyan Hongsheng frowned slightly; even though Ye Qing didn’t rally everyone against the Wanyan Family, he did alert others to be wary. At the very least, henceforth many would exhibit heightened caution towards the Wanyan Family, which was not at all favorable for them.
