Urban Martial Saint

Shen Qi wasn’t very old, and many people in this hall were his elders. In addition to Shen Qi’s clear-cut handling of favors and grudges without much scheming, he was very dear to this group of elder brothers in the Shen Family.

Now, Shen Qi was dead, and one could only imagine how the people of the Shen Family felt. Shen Da also feinted a move, forcing the Right Protector to retreat a step, then immediately withdrew from the fight, waving his hand and saying, ”Hold on, hold on a moment.”

”What’s the matter? Scared?” The Right Protector sneered continuously, the power of the Killing Gate Seven Hidden’s Seven Kills Formation was astonishing, blocking so many of the Shen Family. This excited him greatly. In his view, victory tonight was just a matter of time!

Shen Da paid him no heed, going straight to Shen Qi to check his condition carefully, his face turning icy cold in an instant.

”Blood-Sealed Throat!” Shen Da stood up, angrily staring at the Right Protector standing behind, his voice deep, ”When you came to my Shen Family, I always treated you with courtesy, without the slightest negligence. And as I made clear to you before, my Shen Family has no intention of becoming enemies with your Sha Men. I was in the mindset of resolving this grudge, so I did not go hard on you. But you keep pressing on, and now you’ve killed my brother, do you really think the Shen Family is afraid of your Sha Men?”

The Right Protector let out a cold laugh, ”Mr. Shen, don’t spit blood. What do you mean I killed Shen Qi? We, from the Sha Men, have always been right here, never went out, which eye of yours saw me kill the man?”

Shen Da frowned tightly, his voice grave, ”Tonight, your Sha Men invaded our Shen Family. If my brother was not killed by someone from your Sha Men, then who else could it be? Blood-Sealed Throat, even if a few of you are in here, maybe you’ve arranged others outside. This matter, I’m afraid, cannot be unrelated to your Sha Men!”

”Oh, you sure do talk a lot of nonsense. Who cares whether we killed him or not, anyway, tonight, I didn’t plan to leave any survivors in the Shen Family. Even if we did kill him, so what!” The Right Protector shook his Light Sword in hand, his voice cold, ”We’re all martial artists; if you can fight, then stop fucking talking!”

”You bastard, you’re way too arrogant!”

”Big brother, let’s fight them to the end!”

”Lao Qi has been killed by them, we must avenge him no matter what!”

The Shen Family was in an uproar, Shen Da’s face also turned exceptionally icy. The people from the Sha Men didn’t show weakness either, slowly surrounding the Shen Family in the middle. The power of the Seven Kills Formation, to surround these people, was not difficult at all.

Ye Qing, standing outside the door, saw everyone stop fighting and knew the opportunity had come. Not daring to delay, he immediately ran into the hall from the entrance, urging, ”Everyone, please stop fighting and listen to me, just listen to what I have to say.”

People turned their heads to look, Cui Yu slightly frowned, surprised, ”Ye Qing, what are you doing here?”

Shen San, Shen Si, Shen Wu, and others from the Shen Family had a slight change of expression, astonished to see Ye Qing. In their minds, Ye Qing should have been long dead. After all, Ye Qing had consumed more than fifty Zi Zi Yu Chenxiang Pills, which was far more terrifying than a potent poison. But how could Ye Qing still be alive and show up here? And he seemed to be in good spirits too, what on earth was going on?

The Netherworld Scholar’s face turned extremely cold, staring dead at Ye Qing, his face full of bitter venom. That face of his, which he took great pride in, was disfigured by Ye Qing, and he hated Ye Qing the most in his heart.

”You’re Ye Qing?” Shen Da was also astonished, staring at Ye Qing in shock, saying, ”You... you’re not... you’re not...”

”I’m alright!” Knowing what Shen Da wanted to say, Ye Qing waved his hand at him, then turned to look at the people from Sha Men, saying, ”Ladies and gentlemen, I know the enmity between you and the Shen Family runs deep. But tonight, you can’t keep fighting. If you continue, you’ll fall right into someone else’s trap!”

The Right Protector’s expression changed, his voice deep, ”Mr. Ye, cut the crap. I know you have connections with the people of the Shen Family, so you want to speak for them. Tonight, the Shen Family is out of options, and this is our best chance for revenge. If we don’t continue tonight, should we wait until they get reinforcements tomorrow and come to die?”

”This Ye Qing is nothing but an accomplice to the Shen Family, kill him too!” The Netherworld Scholar bellowed.

”Netherworld Scholar, you son of a bitch, stop your yapping,” the Netherworld Taoist cast an irritated glance at him, saying, ”Let Yi Zi finish talking!”

The Netherworld Scholar became furiously angry, shouting, ”You damn Taoist, how dare you speak to me like that!”

”So what if I talk to you like this? What are you going to do, bite me?” the Netherworld Taoist replied coldly.

”You’re seeking death!” The Netherworld Scholar roared in rage, ready to make a move against the Netherworld Taoist.

Just then, the Pig King, who usually acted obsequiously and hardly dared to say much, leaned toward the Netherworld Taoist, joining him in casting a cold gaze at the Netherworld Scholar.

The Netherworld Scholar furrowed his brows and said in a deep voice, ”Pig King, even you dare to oppose me?”

”I just think what the Netherworld Taoist said makes sense. Let’s hear Ye Qing out!” the Pig King replied.

At this, even the Right Protector furrowed his brows. He glanced at the Netherworld Taoist and then at the Pig King, about to speak, when Cui Yu suddenly interjected, ”Ye Qing, you say we have fallen into someone else’s trap. Whose trap is it?”

”The trap of those people from Western Province led by Xu Cunxiao!” Ye Qing said gravely. ”The very household slaves who betrayed the Chen Family back in the day!”

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar. Everyone knew the name of Xu Cunxiao; they were all aware of the Chen Family’s events twenty years ago and understood that Xu Cunxiao and his group were no easy targets. Now that Ye Qing revealed that all of this was orchestrated by these people from Western Province, everyone was indeed shocked.

The Right Protector furrowed his brows tightly. When Ye Qing had called about this matter before, he had hung up, precisely to prevent this secret from being exposed. He had not expected Ye Qing to be so resolute, managing to reach the Shen Family again and airing the matter out loud.

”Xu Cunxiao?” Shen Da, too, furrowed his brows, looking at Ye Qing and asking, ”How do you know about this? Weren’t they always hiding in Western Province, not daring to show themselves?”

Ye Qing shook his head and said, ”All of this was their premeditated scheme, intending to make Sha Men and the Shen Family fight to mutual destruction, so they could profit from it all. Shen Ba and Shen Jiu were ambushed and killed by people sent by those from Western Province, specifically to frame Sha Men. Furthermore, Tie Yongwen and Old Master Tie were also killed by these individuals!”

These revelations further shocked everyone; Tie Yongwen’s death had essentially been the spark that ignited the war between the Shen Family and Sha Men. Now as Ye Qing mentioned this incident, it made everyone even more convinced that it must be true.

”People from Western Province!” Cui Yu furrowed his brows and spoke solemnly, ”Those people from Western Province who betrayed the Chen Family were harboring evil intentions from the start. If they really had some plot leveraging our conflict with the Shen Family, it is indeed possible.”

”Cui Panguan, what do you mean by that?” the Netherworld Scholar said with gravity. ”Has it come to this and you still want to back out? Let me tell you, if we don’t completely deal with the Shen Family today, by tomorrow when the People of the Shen Family catch their breath, they will surely exterminate us to the last. Don’t forget, the bloodbath from ten years ago, how many of our people from Sha Men died!”

Those from Sha Men were somewhat swayed by Ye Qing’s words, and hearing the Netherworld Scholar’s speech, their faces turned even chillier as they fixed their stares on the Shen Family members. The Shen Family, already infuriated by the death of Shen Qi, naturally stared back fiercely.

”Cui Panguan, regardless of whatever schemes those from Western Province have, what does it have to do with us from Sha Men?” the Right Protector spoke in a grim voice. ”We came here today to seek revenge on the Shen Family. Even if those people from Western Province really have some plot, it’s mostly aimed at the Shen Family. We just need to take our revenge, no need to think too much!”

”The Right Protector is right!” bellowed the Black Asura, eager to fight. ”What are we waiting for, fight!”

However, Cui Yu’s brows were tightly knit, and just as everyone from Sha Men was preparing to move forward, he slowly took a step back, suddenly stepping out of the position of the Seven Kills Formation.

”What are you doing!” the Right Protector cried out in alarm. The Seven Kills Formation had already entrapped so many from the Shen Family. By stepping out at this moment, wasn’t Cui Yu throwing away all their efforts?

”I think this matter must be thoroughly investigated!” Cui Yu declared solemnly. ”Our feud with the Shen Family can be settled any time, but I do not wish Sha Men to be used unknowingly as someone else’s pawn!”

Cui Yu was more thoughtful in his actions, unlike the others from Sha Men. But without him, the Seven Kills Formation could not be formed. Without the Seven Kills Formation, Sha Men simply had no chance against the Shen Family. Therefore, this turn of events left those from Sha Men completely dumbfounded.

”Blood-Sealed Throat, our Shen Family is right here, always ready to await your return for revenge,” Shen Da said with a heavy voice. ”However, those people from Western Province are harboring evil intentions. No matter what, we must first clarify their purpose before taking any other action, don’t you think?”

The Right Protector’s brow was tightly furrowed, he clearly did not wish it to be so. But if Cui Yu stepped out, they would not be able to fight tonight after all.

While everyone hesitated in silence, suddenly there was a loud bang, and the clothes on the body of Shen Qi lying on the ground burst open. A dense cloud of smoke erupted from his body, swiftly engulfing the Shen Family members nearby. Those close by didn’t even have the chance to dodge and were quickly enveloped by the white smoke as well.

”What’s happened?” Shen Da cried out in alarm, watching the white smoke spread rapidly, instantly filling the entire hall and shrouding everyone within.

”What’s going on?” the Right Protector also shouted solemnly, his instincts telling him the white smoke definitely meant trouble. Therefore, he held his breath immediately, and many others also did the same, not daring to breathe in the white smoke.
