Urban Martial Saint

The Right Protector immediately nodded, but he couldn’t handle so many things alone. He called in the Netherworld Scholar who was hiding behind a big tree over there, and together they hung all the Nalan Family members on the trees. As for Helian Qingfeng and Nalan Tianyu, they were taken away tightly bound, leaving only the Nalan Family members and Helian Qingfeng’s subordinates hanging on the tree.

Ms. Tsubaki and others had left for about ten minutes when the remaining members of the Nalan Family arrived, led by Nalan Lie. He deeply understood Ms. Tsubaki’s strength, so he brought most of the good fighters from the family. As a result, he was still a step too late and could only rescue the Nalan Family members hanging on the tree first.

Nalan Fangyuan was seriously injured; Ms. Tsubaki’s punch had shocked his internal organs. Nalan Fangyuan himself was very strong; otherwise, if it were someone else, this punch might have taken his life. Even so, Nalan Fangyuan probably needs to lie in bed for a while this time.

Nalan Fangyuan endured the pain and recounted the incident with the Joyous Monk to Nalan Lie. In fact, Nalan Lie already knew the Joyous Monk was here, but he was in a hurry to save Nalan Tianyu and Helian Qingfeng just now and forgot to remind Nalan Fangyuan. When he remembered this and called Nalan Fangyuan, Nalan Fangyuan was already fighting with Ms. Tsubaki and the others and had no time to answer the phone, which led to this result.

After listening to Nalan Fangyuan’s words, Nalan Lie frowned immediately and said grimly, ”According to what you said, the strength of the Joyous Monk is much stronger than before!”

”Brother, have you ever fought with him?” Nalan Fangyuan asked curiously.

”I guess you could say that...” Nalan Lie responded, ”At that time, the five second-generation offspring from our family, led by our third uncle, surrounded the Joyous Monk. Even with the six of us working together, we couldn’t defeat him, and in that battle, your big brother lost his life. However, the Joyous Monk’s strength was not as formidable as it is now. You just said that you couldn’t even withstand one of his strikes, so he is much stronger than before!

Nalan Fangyuan widened his eyes even more and said anxiously, ”I heard from him that he intends to challenge Father with his current strength. That father...”

”You don’t need to worry!” Nalan Lie waved his hand directly and said, ”Father is highly learned in the art of martial arts, with transcendent strength. How could a mere Joyous Monk challenge him? If the Joyous Monk dares to come to the Capital to challenge Father, this time he will definitely be left behind, paying his blood debt with his own life!”

The Nalan Family members have a near-blind reverence for Prince Nalan. In the eyes of the Nalan Family, only Prince Nalan is the true supreme master. However, this is understandable, as Prince Nalan became famous very early and indeed possesses incredible strength. Even the King of North-South Boxing must bow to him. As for Prince Nalan’s strength, it can only be described as unfathomable. For so many years, no one has dared to challenge him!

Nalan Lie instructed the young members of the Nalan Family to rescue Nalan Fangyuan and others first and take them to the city for treatment. He then led a dozen or so top fighters from the Nalan Family, traveling lightly in pursuit, aiming to catch up with the Joyous Monk, at least to rescue Nalan Tianyu and Helian Qingfeng.

As they passed by the Water Tower, they discovered a naked woman behind it. The woman was very beautiful and had a good figure, but she was lying on the ground, breathless, dead.

Nalan Lie stepped forward, checked the woman’s breath, and looked closely at her appearance, frowning even tighter.

”That beast, the Joyous Monk, is still committing these evil deeds of exploiting yin to replenish yang after so many years!” Nalan Lie looked up and said grimly, ”Everyone, be careful. The Joyous Monk acts mysteriously and strikes ruthlessly. If we encounter him, don’t spread out. Advance and retreat together to have a chance of survival!”

Many people in the Nalan Family have heard of the Joyous Monk and are very wary of him. Hearing what Nalan Lie said, everyone became even more cautious and followed him carefully in pursuit.

However, after running for a long time, they found nothing. The Joyous Monk seemed to have vanished, leaving no trace, so the group couldn’t find him. After searching for more than two hours without any findings, Nalan Lie had no choice but to lead everyone back to the Nalan Family, intending to report this matter to Prince Nalan.

Prince Nalan was still sitting in the attic, and after Nalan Fangyuan returned, he immediately learned about the Joyous Monk. However, he seemed very calm, and his previous concern for Nalan Tianyu seemed to have vanished.

Seeing him like this, Nalan Lie was very surprised. Logically speaking, since Nalan Tianyu was in the enemy’s hands, Prince Nalan should be very worried. Why was he so calm?

However, Nalan Lie did not ask much and just recounted the incident with the Joyous Monk.

”I understand!” Prince Nalan nodded slowly and said, ”You’ve been searching all night and must be tired. Go down and rest first.”

”Ah?” Nalan Lie was even more surprised, and whispered, ”Father, Tian Yu... Tian Yu is in the hands of Joyous Monk, isn’t he?”

”I know!” Prince Nalan looked up at him and said, ”If Joyous Monk hides, no one can find him, even if I go personally. So, this matter can’t be rushed. He wants to use Tian Yu to threaten me, so he certainly won’t kill Tian Yu. Therefore, Tian Yu is temporarily safe. Joyous Monk wants to challenge me, so I will wait for him here, wait for him to return Tian Yu!”

Nalan Lie looked at Prince Nalan. He knew Prince Nalan was really quite worried about Nalan Tianyu. However, Prince Nalan was very stable and calm in his approach to things. He knew worrying wouldn’t solve anything, so he slowly became calm and prepared to handle change with constancy.

”Father, I think the power of Joyous Monk seems to have grown much stronger...” Nalan Lie paused and whispered, ”Moreover, he has taken Ye Qing’s Seven-Star Ancient Sword, look...”

Prince Nalan glanced at Nalan Lie and said, ”If he still needs to train with the Water Tower, then he is not my match yet. As for the Seven-Star Ancient Sword, it has no effect on me, you don’t need to worry!”

Seeing Prince Nalan speak with such confidence, Nalan Lie felt a sense of relief in his heart. What he feared the most was Prince Nalan encountering a strong enemy and being challenged. And Prince Nalan’s words let the big stone in his heart finally settle. As long as Prince Nalan is undefeated, the Nalan Family will forever stand strong!

Nalan Lie did not say anything further, he bent towards Prince Nalan and went downstairs to rest. In fact, Nalan Lie wasn’t very worried about Nalan Tianyu, because he had always disliked Nalan Tianyu. If he weren’t family, he definitely wouldn’t take care of Nalan Tianyu. So, even though Nalan Tianyu was in the hands of Joyous Monk, he didn’t feel any worry.

One peaceful night passed, and early the next morning, Ye Qing and Huangfu Ziyu bid farewell to the Su Family and first rushed back to the hotel to meet up with Liu Mubai.

Ye Qing had already told Joyous Monk’s situation to Huangfu Ziyu, and Huangfu Ziyu’s opinion was the same as Liu Mubai’s, which was to wait for Helian Tiehua to arrive in the Capital. At that time, either Helian Tiehua or Prince Nalan making a move, Joyous Monk might not be able to withstand it. Thus, Ye Qing would have the chance to take back the Seven-Star Ancient Sword.

Of course, this was just their thought, but in reality, this was not so easy to execute. After all, Ye Qing had some grudges with both the Nalan Family and the Helian Family. When Helian Tiehua and Prince Nalan are present, if they make a move on Ye Qing, then Ye Qing truly would have nowhere to run. So, Ye Qing is gambling now, betting that Helian Tiehua and Prince Nalan can maintain their identities and not make a move on him, a junior.

Liu Mubai contacted friends from the Meng District to inquire, and Helian Tiehua was likely to arrive in the Capital around noon. The Nalan Family had already arranged a banquet to host Helian Tiehua at noon.

The news of Helian Tiehua’s entry into the Capital had already spread widely, and domestic experts were paying close attention to this matter. Ever since the battle of King of North-South Boxing twenty years ago, there has been no similar clash of the Five Uniques.

Prince Nalan has been famous for decades, subtly standing at the peak among the Five Uniques. For decades, no one dared to challenge him. Or rather, those who challenged him were all defeated under his fist!

And Great General Helian Tiehua, who later rose strong, is in his prime, unstoppable for nearly twenty years. In the Meng District, he is said to have ten thousand disciples who respond to his call, the Tiger of the Meng District, the great demon of the North.

The first meeting of these two Peak Masters, what kind of clash will occur, is a matter of global attention. Regardless of the outcome, just them meeting is enough to make every Martial Artist’s heart surge. Because this is the power of the peak!

Ye Qing and his group went first to the vicinity of the hotel reserved by the Nalan Family to turn around, as the Nalan Family prepared to host Helian Tiehua here. By the morning, the surrounding area was already crowded, lively and bustling. Many were Martial Artists from the Capital, wanting to catch a glimpse of the style of Peak Masters. And most belonged to those hurrying from other places, including quite a few who flew in from the South.

Twenty years ago, the battle of King of North-South Boxing, few could catch it, only a handful were present. And this time, Helian Tiehua’s entry into the Capital to meet Prince Nalan, is the first opportunity in twenty years, and who would want to miss it?

Such chaotic circumstances, to Ye Qing, were a good thing. The more chaotic, the easier it would be to act, seizing the opportunity to snatch back the item, that would be ideal.

They were observing the terrain from the outside, pondering how to blend in during noon. After two rounds of circling outside, Ye Qing noticed an acquaintance.

”Young man, this is an amulet personally consecrated by the Master of Buddhist Fate from Mount Wutai, ensuring safety and enhancing the quality. Martial Artists wearing this amulet practice martial arts twice as effectively!”
