Urban Martial Saint

Ye Qing had gone through all the contents of the Acupoint Seeking Technique and had heard a lot about Divine Doctor An Shiping. From what he understood about An Shiping, he was a kind and compassionate figure, practicing medicine to save lives, and he was someone everyone had to admire.

Even the enemies of Divine Doctor An Shiping spoke of him with admiration. Putting aside any grudges, the character of An Shiping was truly unmatched and unparalleled.

Such a person, regardless of whether they were patients or enemies, treated everyone the same. It was said that he even personally healed someone who had attempted to assassinate him. Moreover, this person had seriously harmed one of An Shiping’s most important relatives in the past. It was a deep grudge. When this person attacked An Shiping, he was injured and defeated by An Shiping. Yet An Shiping did not kill him; instead, he healed him. This showed how gentle An Shiping was to people.

However, this kind-hearted person recorded such a method when dealing with sorcery. Divine Doctor An Shiping did not mention much about sorcery; he just stated that killing the sorcerer would lift the curse. Given An Shiping’s nature, for him to say such a thing showed his deep hatred for these sorcerers.

In truth, when Ye Qing saw this child being used as a vessel to cultivate a Living Corpse, due to being under the Great Food Descent and voraciously eating, Ye Qing also felt a murderous intent toward this sorcerer. These sorcerers doing such things to a child were simply insane, and they deserved death!

Yet, while there was a solution, finding this sorcerer was a rather troublesome task. Old Wang Ba had left two notes, only documenting things about sorcery and the sorcerers, without mentioning anything else. For instance, how to find this sorcerer, how many had come, and how to prevent them from awakening that powerful ancient entity—these were all questions.

Moreover, what puzzled Ye Qing the most was that this ancient entity had used sorcery to seal himself out of fear of death. But if ten pairs of Living Corpses could indeed extend life, why had he waited until now to begin unsealing? Finding ten pairs of Living Corpses shouldn’t have been difficult, right? So why had he waited until now? Could it be, as Old Wang Ba said, this ancient sorcerer was also here for the opening of the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates?

Thinking this through, Ye Qing understood a bit more. The Heaven Earth Man Three Gates were about to open, and everyone was eyeing these gates, desiring to seize the opportunity. People like those from the Wanyan Family had waited for over a thousand years just to enter the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates and achieve nation-building in Fusang Country. Perhaps this ancient sorcerer’s plan was also to wait for this opportunity!

Xiao Xie and his wife stood nearby, anxiously watching Ye Qing. Seeing Ye Qing holding those two notes, they were very curious and didn’t know what the notes contained. However, seeing Ye Qing deep in thought, they didn’t dare disturb him, fearing they might disrupt his thinking.

After a while, seeing Ye Qing gradually come back to his senses, Xiao Xie cautiously asked, ”Mr. Ye, um... you see, my son’s illness, how... how should we treat it?”

Ye Qing, who had been pondering the issue with the sorcerers, suddenly remembered there were still two people next to him. He turned his head and nodded, saying, ”Don’t worry, I’ve already made a treatment plan for your son’s illness. However, it can’t be started just yet. Please don’t worry, I will arrange everything properly and cure your son’s illness as soon as possible!”

Hearing this, Xiao Xie and his wife breathed a sigh of relief. Previously, anyone who saw their son’s condition simply shook their heads and left; no one could cure the child. Now, hearing a definitive answer, they felt their hearts nearly leaping out of their chests with joy that words could not express.

”Mr. Ye, please, save... save our child...” Xiao Xie’s wife pleaded as she knelt down, crying her heart out.

”Please don’t do this; I will definitely cure your son!” Ye Qing quickly helped her up and said to Xiao Xie, ”Mr. Xie, please wait a moment; I need to discuss something with my two friends. I will find a way to cure your son’s illness as soon as possible.”

”Thank you, Mr. Ye!” Xiao Xie’s eyes were moist with tears, almost overwhelmed with emotion.

In the courtyard, Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi stood feeling frustrated. Earlier, they had been assaulted by Shijia and the Joyous Monk, chasing them far away but failing to catch them, feeling utterly played with and full of anger.

”Mr. Ding, Fairy Yin.” Ye Qing walked out of the house, looking at them from a distance, and said, ”There’s something that might require your help!”

”Why are you always so troublesome?” Ding Lianshun snapped, ”I swear, you’re such a troublemaker!”

Ye Qing was speechless, realizing Ding Lianshun had many complaints and had finally voiced them. But it was understandable; last night, sending him to kill two batches of mercenaries wasn’t for Ding Lianshun’s own benefit. Naturally, he was annoyed. Ding Lianshun was as skilled as the Five Uniques, a top protector in the Twelve Green Halls. Who would have thought he’d be dragged to the Mainland, acting as a free henchman for a junior? Anyone in his situation wouldn’t accept it easily.

”Mr. Ding, please take a look at this first!” Ye Qing handed the two notes left by Old Wang Ba to Zou Huanglong, who passed them to Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi.

Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi looked puzzled, not understanding Ye Qing’s purpose in showing them these notes. But since they were handed over, they took them and began to read.

The notes weren’t long, so they quickly finished reading, their expressions suddenly freezing. After a while, they exchanged glances, their eyes glinting with strange light as they communicated their feelings.

In fact, both knew about the sorcerers entering Huaxia, and this was orchestrated by the Twelve Green Halls. Heavenly Master Lin Xuan Yue deliberately led the sorcerers into Huaxia to distract the Miaojiang Witch and keep her tied in Miao Borderlands. However, they never expected the sorcerers to start cultivating Living Corpses before heading to Miao Borderlands.

Honestly, neither knew who Old Wang Ba’s so-called ancient entity was. But since Old Wang Ba had spoken of it, they believed him. After all, Old Wang Ba was from the Iron Calculation Sect and knew too many worldly secrets!

Seeing their expressions, Ye Qing guessed they knew about the sorcery, which put his mind at ease.

”Mr. Ding, Fairy Yin, you should have heard about the sorcery, right?” Ye Qing said, ”These sorcerers aim to use children to cultivate Living Corpses, then break the seal of this ancient entity. And this ancient entity is powerful. If he emerges, we might all be in danger.”

”If he comes out, what’s it to us?” Ding Lianshun replied coldly, ”Ye Qing, stop making connections. You are you; we are we. This is Huaxia; their business here has nothing to do with us.”

Hearing Ding Lianshun’s words, Ye Qing could only shrug and say, ”Alright, alright, even if it has nothing to do with you. But I must remind you, should this ancient entity get unsealed to compete for the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, this matter might end up concerning you both closely!”

”No need for nonsense; trying to provoke us to take on these sorcerers won’t work!” Ding Lianshun directly shook his head.

Ye Qing initially intended to get Ding Lianshun and Yin Xianzi to take action against these sorcerers, but hearing Ding Lianshun’s firm words, he could only shake his head helplessly and say, ”In that case, I’ll go find them myself. Mr. Ding, Fairy Yin, thank you for your help these days!”

Saying this, Ye Qing turned to leave. Yin Xianzi panicked and quickly said, ”Ye, where are you going?”

”Of course, I’m going to find those sorcerers and settle this matter!” Ye Qing said, ”No matter what, we can’t let these sorcerers revive that ancient entity!”

”What are you threatening us?” Ding Lianshun snapped, ”You know we won’t let you face those sorcerers alone, but you insist on going. We have to follow. Then, if something happens, this will naturally involve us!”

Ye Qing could only shrug and say, ”Alright, alright, even if that thing doesn’t have anything to do with you, you two can stay here. Thank you both for helping so far. I have to settle these sorcerers; you don’t think just because you’re with me, I’m going to do nothing? I won’t let those sorcerers unseal that ancient entity no matter what!”

No problem, strange things are not new to me,” Ye Qing said with a smile. ”Mr. Ding, Fairy Yin, why don’t you both wait here for me. I’ll come back after discussing the matter with my friends. I’ll fix what’s wrong with your son as soon as possible!”

”Thank you, Mr. Ye!” Xiao Xie said, his eyes moist with emotion, nearly driven to tears with excitement.
