Urban Martial Saint

The news of the Young Master of Sword Saint Sect being killed by Wanyan Family’s beyond peerless master spread across the whole world almost within a day.

Of course, those who knew about this matter were primarily those powerful forces or peerless masters. Most of these people know the name of the Sword Saint Sect, and naturally, they understand what it means for its Young Master to be killed. So, almost within a day, people were talking about the Young Master of Sword Saint Sect being killed, and this matter temporarily overshadowed the matters of Heaven Earth Man Three Gates.

In Shenchuan City, although the alliance was hastily formed, and some specific matters were agreed upon, the alliance essentially became a facade after the Young Master of Sword Saint Sect died.

Actually, this matter is simple. People decided to form the alliance after seeing the strength of the Wanyan Family and recognizing their ambitious intentions, primarily to counter the Wanyan Family. Of course, this included opposing the Sword Saint Sect, as they too have considerable ambitions.

However, the people of Wanyan Family killed the Young Master of Sword Saint Sect, and these two major forces settled grievances first, instantly changing the situation. Wanyan Family and Sword Saint Sect, the two major forces, did not strike at the people of the world and instead began fighting among themselves, leaving other forces and individuals free to sit back and watch the tigers fight.

In this situation, the alliance initially formed to deal with these two major forces naturally lost its significance. Those who were originally part of the alliance no longer felt the alliance was important without the threat of these two major forces. Most critically, they had to abide by the agreements within the alliance, which further irritated them.

So, this alliance that was formed for less than a day essentially fell apart with the Young Master of Sword Saint Sect being killed. Although the alliance still exists, the various forces within the alliance no longer listen to its commands. In fact, if it weren’t for the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, Twelve Green Halls of Sha Men, and Shen Family Manor fully protecting Ye Qing, along with the Brahmanism True Buddha standing on Ye Qing’s side, the people of the alliance might have forced Ye Qing to hand over the Buddha’s Relic.

Don’t be fooled by Ye Qing giving these people the Returning Origin Technique, or that they seemed to greatly respect Ye Qing when forming the alliance. In fact, in the face of absolute interests, there is no such thing as gratitude and respect. Which of these reclusive peak masters hasn’t disappeared for decades just to find a chance to prolong their life? Now the opportunity has arrived, and they will certainly seize it desperately, not caring about any morality or feelings.

Helian Tiehua also noticed the intentions of these people, so he sent the members of the alliance away on the third day. Shenchuan City finally returned to tranquility. Of course, Sha Men returned to their manor, the people of Shen Family Manor still reside in Shenchuan City, and the strength here remains formidable.

Zhou Haoyang and Bai Yonghui were previously injured by Bloody Monk and poisoned by Bai Li Xi, feeling truly miserable for two days. Treating injuries is easy, but detoxification has to be done by Bai Li Xi. However, Bai Li Xi is impervious to persuasion; even Helian Tiehua couldn’t succeed in making an appeal, so the poison remained. Ultimately, with no options left, they could only follow Helian Tiehua to sincerely apologize to Ye Qing, asking Ye Qing to help them request Bai Li Xi’s detoxification.

Ye Qing actually knew about these two being poisoned long ago, but he pretended not to know. Additionally, for these two days, Helian Tiehua tried to discuss this matter with him several times, but Ye Qing made excuses to avoid it, leaving Helian Tiehua quite helpless. Helian Tiehua actually understood that Ye Qing was resentful towards these two for being too harsh on Huangfu Zilong and was therefore deliberately treating them this way. So, with no choice left, he brought these two to Ye Qing to plead.

In fact, Ye Qing didn’t really intend to ruin these two people entirely. After all, these two are peak masters and members of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance. Destroying them would inevitably weaken the influence of the Seven Steering Committees, which is not something Ye Qing wishes to see. After these two suffered for two days, Ye Qing’s anger dissipated quite a bit. Helian Tiehua personally bringing them to apologize naturally meant Ye Qing couldn’t refuse Helian Tiehua’s face, so he personally sought Bai Li Xi to plead.

Bai Li Xi was crisp on that side; Ye Qing personally spoke and Bai Li Xi, without saying a word, detoxified these two. To be honest, after enduring the torment of Bai Li Xi’s poison for two days, the sudden detoxification felt like transitioning from hell to heaven; the comfort was unimaginable. Truth be told, they couldn’t even muster any hatred towards Ye Qing anymore; there was only gratitude. After all, Ye Qing personally went to plea to Bai Li Xi for them, demonstrating kindness for grievance, which naturally made them very grateful.

At the same time, they were also very shocked by the relationship between Ye Qing and Bai Li Xi. Everyone should know, they had tried to beg Bai Li Xi with many people before to no avail, even Helian Tiehua himself failed. But Ye Qing showed up, and with just a sentence, Bai Li Xi detoxified them – does Ye Qing’s face withstand all those people combined?

Ye Qing did not care what was on these two’s minds, and after resolving their matter, Ye Qing conveniently took out two fragments of Devouring Demon Flower for them to eat.

These two were troubled by Bai Li Xi’s poison for these two days, with no recovery on their injuries, still suffering internal injuries. After swallowing the Devouring Demon Flower fragments, their injuries quickly recovered, and their strength fully restored, instantly shocking them to the extreme. They had never tasted the Devouring Demon Flower before nor knew its effects; this time truly experiencing it left them in awe of its power.

Of course, the fragments of Devouring Demon Flower were given by Ye Qing, enhancing their gratitude towards him further. Although they may not be willing to help Ye Qing, at least after these events, they dared not target Ye Qing casually. Because facts prove that Ye Qing, while not having martial arts to protect, is not easy to deal with either!

After resolving these two’s matters, Ye Qing conveniently headed to Bai Li Xi’s courtyard’s back garden. Upon entering, Ye Qing heard a chanting voice. Though youthful, the voice held a distinct solemnity. Listening to it felt as though sitting in the Great Heroic Treasure Hall, hearing a high monk lecture, and behind the monk were the Heavenly Gods and Buddhas watching, stirring natural reverence.

Undoubtedly, this must be Broom Star, or True Buddha chanting. Ye Qing previously heard his chanting once, suppressing the Heart Demon Technique unleashed by Wanyan Hongsheng at the cost of consuming himself. Indeed, this chanting has a purifying effect, truly extraordinary.

Hearing it again here, Ye Qing couldn’t help but reflect. If not for True Buddha appearing at that critical moment to chant, restraining everyone’s heart demon, the situation that day might have been troublesome indeed. Undeniably, the Heart Demon Technique of Demon Sect is terrifyingly powerful. Who knows how Wanyan Family obtained the secret technique of Heart Demon Technique, but next time they meet Wanyan Family, caution must prevail. If carelessly controlled by their Heart Demon Technique, it’s disastrous.

Ye Qing walked through the back door, entering the back garden and seeing three people sitting in the garden from afar. These three were none other than the Purple Robe Lama, Bloody Monk, and Wolf Monk. And sitting before them was True Buddha, whose head was small and nearly completely obscured by them. The chanting voice emanated from True Buddha’s mouth.

Seeing these three, Ye Qing was slightly surprised. He could understand Purple Robe Lama being here, after all, True Buddha belongs to Brahmanism, and Purple Robe Lama is the protector of Brahmanism, the protector of True Buddha, who originally came to find him. But Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk being here, what’s going on? Could there be a connection between Bloody Monk, Wolf Monk, and True Buddha?

Though puzzled, Ye Qing did not directly speak because he could tell these three were completely absorbed. Clearly, all three were captivated by the chanting voice. Ye Qing bothering them now would disrupt True Buddha’s chanting which wouldn’t be appropriate. So Ye Qing decided not to approach further but stand there and listen to True Buddha’s chanting, intending to speak after he finishes.

Moreover, True Buddha’s chanting calms one’s mind, making it nice to listen to. Ye Qing simply sat at the entrance, just like the trio, attentively listening.

After about half an hour, True Buddha’s voice finally stopped, indicating the sutra was finished. Ye Qing quickly stood up, just about to walk into the garden, suddenly noticing someone surprisingly seated beside him, giving him a scare.

Earlier, Ye Qing was so engrossed in the chanting that he wasn’t aware of the surroundings, not even noticing someone arrived beside him. Upon closer inspection, he found Great General Helian Tiehua seated next to him.

Great General Helian Tiehua came with Ye Qing here to Bai Li Xi after resolving Zhou Haoyang and Bai Yonghui’s matters; he supposedly left, hadn’t he? So why was he unexpectedly here? Moreover, Helian Tiehua’s expression matched that of the three monks in the garden, bearing devotion and respect, as if wholly absorbed by the chanting. What was going on? Was it really that exaggerated?

Though True Buddha’s chanting seemingly possessed magical allure, to Ye Qing, it mostly served to focus and calm one’s spirit. As for inspiring such devotion and reverence – that was impossible!
