Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing originally wanted to come to the Reincarnated True Buddha here and ask the Reincarnated True Buddha about the upcoming matters. Who would have thought that after leaving these ambiguous words, the Reincarnated True Buddha would run off with Wuhua Monk, leaving Ye Qing unable to ask what he intended, which made Ye Qing extremely helpless.

However, after the Reincarnated True Buddha left, Ye Qing felt less worried. If the Reincarnated True Buddha stayed here and something happened, he also wouldn’t be able to answer to Brahmanism.

Just as he stepped out of the Reincarnated True Buddha’s courtyard, a woman hurriedly approached, it was Wen’er.

Upon seeing Ye Qing, Wen’er immediately brightened up, and said: ”Brother Ye, you’re really here.”

Hearing Wen’er’s words, Ye Qing couldn’t help but feel surprised and asked curiously: ”What’s up?”

”My mom told me to find you, saying she has something to discuss with you.” Wen’er came over and said, ”I went to Senior Fu just now, he said you were here to see the Reincarnated True Buddha, so I came over to find you.”

”Oh.” Ye Qing nodded and said, ”Wondering what Aunt needs?”

Wen’er shrugged and said: ”I don’t know either, my mom was being all mysterious, just said to get you over, apparently it’s a big thing, but only a meeting will clear that up, I guess!”

”Okay, let’s go there then!” Ye Qing nodded in response. Since Wen’er’s mother was seeking him, there surely was some important matter. Ye Qing knew that Wen’er’s mother is a resourceful and knowledgeable person, if it weren’t significant, she wouldn’t look for Ye Qing so hastily.

Last time, Ye Qing was able to rescue Huangfu Ziyu successfully and also took care of the Iga-ryu in the process, Wen’er’s mother played a crucial role in it. Since the Sect Leader of the South Ridge Sect hadn’t been found yet, Wen’er and her mother had nowhere to go temporarily, so they stayed at the World Alliance here, all this time. Of course, Wen’er’s mother herself is also a master grave robber, scholarly and intelligent, and she helped the World Alliance quite a bit.

Wen’er’s mother and daughter lived in a small courtyard, Wen’er led Ye Qing into the courtyard, from a distance they saw Wen’er’s mother standing in the living room. Her expression was somewhat anxious, seeing Ye Qing she seemed a bit calmer, quickly came out to greet Ye Qing, later sending Wen’er away and bringing Ye Qing into the living room.

”Auntie, what’s the matter, why the urgency?” Ye Qing asked directly upon entering, he could tell Wen’er’s mother seemed anxious.

Wen’er’s mother didn’t answer Ye Qing’s question, but rather asked first: ”I heard from Fat Wang that you found something like Heavenly Cluster Clouds over by Xiliang Mountain?”

About Heavenly Cluster Clouds, it was actually Wen’er’s mother who told Ye Qing. So, Ye Qing didn’t hide anything from Wen’er’s mother. After all, Wen’er’s mother had been with the Iga-ryu for so long, she knew more about Heavenly Cluster Clouds than others did.

”Yes!” Ye Qing nodded and said: ”It should be a Heavenly Cluster Clouds, it’s just, this Heavenly Cluster Clouds...”

Before Ye Qing could finish, Wen’er’s mother interrupted and said: ”Is it that the color is different from the one you got from the Iga-ryu?”

Hearing this, Ye Qing’s heart stirred. Wen’er’s mother saying such things, could she have studied this red Heavenly Cluster Clouds too? Calling him over here, could it be to talk about this matter?

”Indeed, the Heavenly Cluster Clouds obtained at Xiliang Mountain is red!” Ye Qing nodded in response, while watching Wen’er’s mother, wanting to see what her expression would be.

Upon hearing Ye Qing’s words, Wen’er’s mother visibly sucked in a breath of cold air, it was obvious that she was very shocked, or rather stunned. This expression made Ye Qing somewhat astonished, why would she be so shocked hearing about the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds?

”I really didn’t expect this red Heavenly Cluster Clouds still exists, this is indeed a big deal!” Wen’er’s mother said softly.

”What’s the matter?” Ye Qing asked urgently: ”Auntie, is there something wrong with this red Heavenly Cluster Clouds?”

Wen’er’s mother glanced at Ye Qing and said: ”Do you know why there’s a difference between red and black Heavenly Cluster Clouds?”

”Why?” Ye Qing asked curiously, he was about to ask this question.

”This is related to the power attributes of the Yamata no Orochi!” Wen’er’s mother said in a deep voice. ”In fact, there are many different legends about the Yamata no Orochi in Japan. Some say the Yamata no Orochi is the god of destruction, some say it is the god of creation, some say it is benevolent, while others say it is evil. Anyway, there are many legends about the Yamata no Orochi, and in fact, many legends contradict each other, so later generations believe the Yamata no Orochi doesn’t exist, it’s just a myth!”

At this point, Wen’er’s mother took a deep breath, looked at Ye Qing, and said in a deep voice: ”But in fact, all these legends are true. The stories about the Yamata no Orochi are all true!”

”What do you mean?” Ye Qing was surprised. How could all these contradictory claims be true?

”So now we have to talk about the power attributes of the Yamata no Orochi!” Wen’er’s mother continued: ”The Yamata no Orochi has eight heads, each possessing a different type of power. And because these eight powers are different, their effects are also different. One of the heads of the Yamata no Orochi possesses the power of life, capable of spreading life, so people regard it as the god of creation. Another head possesses the power of destruction, and anything it sees is destroyed, so people also see it as the god of destruction. The dichotomy between good and evil also stems from the different powers!”

”Is there really such a thing?” Ye Qing’s eyes widened. He didn’t know much about the legends of the Yamata no Orochi, and these things were beyond his wildest dreams. Who could have guessed that the eight heads could possess eight different powers? That’s truly magical!

”Due to the different power attributes, the remaining Heavenly Cluster Clouds also varies in color. Each color of the Heavenly Cluster Clouds represents a different power.” Wen’er’s mother looked at Ye Qing and asked in a deep voice: ”Do you know what power the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds represents?”

”What power?” Ye Qing hurriedly asked, but after a moment, he suddenly had a thought and said: ”Could it be the power of destruction?”

”That’s right, it is the power of destruction, also known as the power of annihilation!” Wen’er’s mother said in a deep voice: ”The power of the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds will destroy all life around it, which is incredibly terrifying. In Japanese legend, the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds were sealed away because they annihilate everything, so why have they reappeared?”

Ye Qing was even more shocked than Wen’er’s mother. If the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds represent such a destructive force, what would happen if it were brought back?

He took a deep breath, looked at Wen’er’s mother, and said: ”If the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds are brought back, what will happen?”

”The key issue lies here now!” Wen’er’s mother looked at Ye Qing and said: ”In theory, the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds would destroy any living thing it encounters instantly. But why were you able to hold the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds without encountering any danger?”

Ye Qing thought of the matter involving the Acala Buddha Seal, which suggested that it must have sealed the power of the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds, right?

Ye Qing pondered slightly for a while, and ultimately revealed the matter of the Acala Buddha Seal. This issue was no small matter, and only Wen’er’s mother understood the situation with the Heavenly Cluster Clouds. To thoroughly understand the situation with the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds, Wen’er’s mother must know the current situation.

After hearing about the Acala Buddha Seal, Wen’er’s mother was obviously also shocked and said: ”There is such a thing as the Acala Buddha Seal, the world is indeed full of wonders. However, this also makes sense, as the Acala Buddha Seal suppressed the power of the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds, preventing its power from leaking out.”

Hearing this, Ye Qing felt slightly relieved. As long as the power of the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds could be suppressed, there was nothing to worry about.

”However...” Wen’er’s mother suddenly looked up at Ye Qing and said in a deep voice: ”This is not a long-term solution!”

”Why?” Ye Qing asked in astonishment.

”You don’t understand the power situation of the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds. Even if the power of the Acala Buddha Seal is stronger than the power of the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds, it is impossible to suppress the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds forever!” Wen’er’s mother said in a deep voice: ”I have researched all Japanese information about the power of the Heavenly Cluster Clouds, including the history of the Yamata no Orochi, and discovered that the Yamata no Orochi has a very powerful ability; it can self-detonate one of its heads to harm its enemies. And the head it can self-destruct is this head of destructive power!”

Ye Qing frowned immediately. According to Wen’er’s mother, doesn’t this mean that the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds could also self-destruct? If the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds self-destruct, could the Acala Buddha Seal still control the destructive power within it?

”I don’t know what you plan to do with these red Heavenly Cluster Clouds, but I must warn you. If someone masters the method to make the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds self-destruct, it will be dangerous. Once the red Heavenly Cluster Clouds self-destructs, not even Shijia holding it could escape unscathed, let alone the Corpse Ghost Dragon at its peak holding it!” Wen’er’s mother looked at Ye Qing and said in a deep voice: ”In other words, Shijia now is holding a bomb that could blow him to pieces. You don’t know when this bomb will explode?”

”This...” Ye Qing’s face changed dramatically and said: ”Then what should we do? The power of these red Heavenly Cluster Clouds is so strong, if they were brought back to Shenchuan City, they would always be a threat. However, if not brought back and someone else controls them, the consequences would be unthinkable!”

Wen’er’s mother also frowned tightly, remaining silent for a long time. She then took a deep breath, looked at Ye Qing, and said: ”Ye Qing, do you trust me?”
