Urban Martial Saint

The three sect masters of Sword Saint Sect brought the Corpse Ghost Dragon to Ye Qing. Everyone dared not underestimate this Corpse Ghost Dragon in the slightest because they didn’t know if he would regain his power. Therefore, two sect masters of Sword Saint Sect were specially responsible for watching over him. If there were any signs of the Corpse Ghost Dragon regaining his strength, everyone would immediately find a way to deal with him.

When the Corpse Ghost Dragon entered the room, he could already stand. However, this was merely a basic level of physical strength, and his own power had not recovered at all. The current Corpse Ghost Dragon is no different from an ordinary person who doesn’t know martial arts, perhaps even weaker. His strength is just enough to maintain eating and walking, and he can’t even do slightly heavier work, let alone regain his power.

It can be said that the Corpse Ghost Dragon poses no threat to them at the moment. However, they are also unable to get rid of him. The human-shaped Gu of the Corpse Ghost Dragon has completely transformed into the Indestructible Demon Body, the most powerful body cultivation secret technique of the Demon Sect, and his body has reached the stage of being invulnerable to blades and spears. At this time, unless a person stronger than him can shatter his body with immense power, there is no other way to kill him. Even though the Corpse Ghost Dragon has no power, they simply cannot kill him!

Unable to kill the Corpse Ghost Dragon, he remains a hidden danger. If he someday regains his power, he will still be an enemy to them, which would be a very awkward situation. Therefore, Ye Qing must find a solution for the Corpse Ghost Dragon, so they don’t have to guard against him every day.

Upon bringing the Corpse Ghost Dragon into the room, the Second Sect Leader of Sword Saint Sect directly said, ”Alliance Leader Ye, we’ve tried many methods but couldn’t harm the Corpse Ghost Dragon. His body is very strong. We’ve used all our famed instruments, but to no avail. I think the only way to kill him is to use transformation power!”

The Second Sect Leader stopped speaking there, and Ye Qing understood his implication. Using transformation power is basically impossible, because doing so would bring heavenly retribution. The battle with Fat Jiao was a living example. After witnessing Fat Jiao being struck by heavenly thunder, they dare not wield transformation power. Unlike Fat Jiao’s strength, a single bolt of heavenly thunder might be enough to kill them!

”Transformation power...” Ye Qing paused for a moment. Currently, the only person who can freely utilize transformation power is Wanyan Hongfeng. With the scabbard of the Minghong Knife, he can shield against heavenly thunder, which is their biggest reliance right now. Just by this advantage, they still have the strength to challenge Ye Qing and the others.

Hence, for Ye Qing, the most crucial matter now is the Xuanyuan Sword. If he can find the Xuanyuan Sword, the scabbard of the Minghong Knife would be of no concern anymore, and defeating the Wan Yan family wouldn’t be difficult.

Ye Qing walked to the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s side. The Corpse Ghost Dragon stood motionlessly, his eyes void of life. Clearly, he still lacked his own consciousness. Even though all his power had been absorbed by the Dragon-breaking Knife, he was still controlled by the heart demon technique of the Wanyan family.

”Can we find a way to unlock his heart demon technique?” Ye Qing suddenly asked.

The three sect masters of Sword Saint Sect looked at each other with helpless expressions and shook their heads. The Second Sect Leader sighed and said, ”Alliance Leader Ye, my Fifth Brother has also been controlled by the heart demon technique. The Sect Leader has tried various methods but couldn’t break the heart demon technique on him. Right now, we can only seal off all his acupoints; otherwise, he would attack us. My Fifth Brother’s heart demon technique is weaker compared to the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s, and we couldn’t unlock it, let alone the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s heart demon technique!”

”Exactly!” The Third Sect Master nodded, ”Moreover, unlocking the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s heart demon technique might not necessarily be a good thing. The Corpse Ghost Dragon himself is extremely evil and ambitious. Freeing him from the heart demon technique will just add another enemy in the future!”

Ye Qing said nothing; his thoughts drifted to the previous matter concerning Nalan Jingwei. Nalan Jingwei had been controlled by the heart demon technique of the Wanyan family but fought against them once it was lifted. The situation with the Corpse Ghost Dragon is similar. If the heart demon technique could be removed, and he regained consciousness, he would likely see the Wanyan family as his greatest enemy, given they have always used him as a puppet and a slave. He wouldn’t let such grudges go unavenged. Thus, breaking the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s heart demon technique is akin to giving the Wanyan family a powerful adversary and alleviating pressure on Ye Qing’s side.

Yet, breaking the heart demon technique is indeed not an easy task. Ye Qing now knows that the only one who can remove it was Nalan Jingwei. Nalan Jingwei was awakened by Liu Mubai’s Heavenly Demon Roar. It is uncertain whether this Heavenly Demon Roar can awaken the Corpse Ghost Dragon or the Fifth Sect Leader.

Ye Qing also knows another method, which is Wuhua Monk’s Bodhi Heart Sutra. Wuhua Monk once used the Bodhi Heart Sutra to suppress the Bloody Monk’s heart demon, with considerable effect. It’s uncertain whether it can break the heart demon technique. Furthermore, Wuhua Monk’s whereabouts are unknown, making Liu Mubai an easier option.

”No hurry, I’ll think of a solution later.” Ye Qing slowly nodded while looking at the Corpse Ghost Dragon. ”Make sure to arrange a proper place for him. Before his heart demon is broken, he absolutely cannot regain strength or escape!”

”Then let’s have two people specifically watch over him,” suggested the Second Sect Leader.

”No need.” Ye Qing shook his head, taking out the Dragon-breaking Knife from behind, ”We can use the Dragon-breaking Knife to suppress him.”

”Oh?” The sect masters of Sword Saint Sect brightened up, curious about what Ye Qing intended.

Ye Qing smiled, ”Find a coffin and place him inside along with the Dragon-breaking Knife. This way, if he regains some strength, it will immediately be absorbed by the knife. With the knife close by, he will never fully recover his power and won’t be able to escape!”

”That’s a good idea!” The sect masters of Sword Saint Sect’s eyes lit up. This method was indeed very fitting. This way, they wouldn’t have to watch over the Corpse Ghost Dragon. With any slight recovery, his power would immediately be absorbed by the Dragon-breaking Knife, ensuring he couldn’t regain strength or retaliate.

Having arranged the Corpse Ghost Dragon’s matters, Ye Qing called for Yelu Ying and the two tomb-guarding elders from the Yelu family to discuss going to the Yelu Family Ancestral Tomb.

This time, entering the Yelu Family Ancestral Tomb is different from entering other tombs; no outsiders can be involved. Therefore, only Ye Qing and members of the Yelu family can go. The female members currently part of the Yelu family are not suitable, so only Ye Qing and Yelu Ying will go together. As for Ye Qing’s expert grave robbers, such as Fat Wang, they won’t be needed this time.

Yelu Ying entered the room with a smile on her face. She had already heard from everyone about the Wan Yan family’s defeat on Mount Wendao, which naturally filled her heart with joy.

One must know that the Yelu family and the Wan Yan family have always been mortal enemies. Furthermore, the Yelu family’s lineage was broken due to the Wan Yan family. The Yelu family has always sought vengeance but lacked sufficient power to accomplish it. Now, with Ye Qing’s great defeat of the Wan Yan family, the sentiments of the Yelu family can be imagined. Upon hearing this news, the female members, who were previously gathering around to deal with Old Chen, stopped beating him in excitement, allowing Director Chen to escape the ordeal.

”Thank you so much, Ye!” Yelu Ying bowed deeply upon entering the room.

”Please rise!” Ye Qing quickly helped Yelu Ying up; he has accepted her as his sister and naturally won’t let her bow like this.

”Brother Ye, this is on behalf of all my ancestors of the Yelu family beg for your forgiveness. You mustn’t decline!” Yelu Ying insisted on bowing down, ”Most of our Yelu family’s ancestors died at the hands of the Wan Yan family. Our feud with the Wan Yan family is irreconcilable. However, due to our lack of strength, we’ve always been on the losing side, unable to exact vengeance. This time, Brother Ye, you defeated the Wan Yan family, finally avenging the Yelu family. Everyone in the Yelu family will always remember your grace!”

Yelu Ying spoke earnestly, and Ye Qing felt moved in his heart. As he helped Yelu Ying up, he said, ”The Wan Yan family is our mutual enemy; this is what I should do, no need for such gratitude!”

Yelu Ying replied solemnly, ”No matter what your relationship with the Wan Yan family is, to us, your defeat of them is an act of vengeance. Our Yelu family will forever be grateful to you!”

Ye Qing chuckled lightly and didn’t say much more on the matter. He turned to the two tomb-guarding elders who remained proud, with a haughty air, not even glancing properly at Ye Qing.

Ye Qing understood this situation: these two elders are only responsible for guarding the tomb. Their sole purpose in life is tomb guarding. They don’t care about family prosperity or grudges. Thus, even if the Yelu family had their lineage cut by the Wan Yan family, they hold no grudge. Likewise, even if Ye Qing defeated the Wan Yan family, avenging the Yelu family, they show no gratitude. Their concern is solely the matter of the Yelu Family Ancestral Tomb!

”Eight days are nearly up. I called these two elders here today to discuss the Yelu Family Ancestral Tomb,” Ye Qing addressed them. ”The full moon night is approaching. Is it the right time to open the Yelu Family Ancestral Tomb?”

Yelu Ying knew this matter was important and looked expectantly at the two tomb-guarding elders, awaiting their response.
