Urban Martial Saint

Although Hu Leng needed to think it over, Ye Qing’s mind was as clear as a mirror; he understood exactly what was happening.

Prince Wan Yan is the type of person who would not rise early without profit. If there isn’t a particularly large benefit, he would definitely not take such a big risk. Entering the Meng District is equivalent to challenging Great General Helian Tiehua, which is a major event concerning the life and death of the Wanyan Family. Yet, in such a situation, Prince Wan Yan dared to resolutely enter the Meng District, indicating that there must be something attracting him, something that makes him willing to take such a huge risk.

There are only two things in the Meng District that could attract Prince Wan Yan. One is the Yelu family because this relates to the Yelu family’s thousand-year legacy. If Prince Wan Yan obtained it, the strength of the Wanyan Family would surely soar. However, based on the timeline, Prince Wan Yan’s entry this time isn’t aimed at the Yelu family. Therefore, his purpose is very obvious; it must be for the second thing, which is highly valued by the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance: the Sun Shooting Bow!

In comparison to the Yelu family’s legacy, the temptation of the Sun Shooting Bow is clearly greater. Although there are clues about the Xuanyuan Sword in the Yelu family’s ancestral tomb, very few people know about this matter. In fact, even the Yelu family is unaware, only those two Tomb Guarding Elders know. So outsiders are even less likely to know, and naturally, Prince Wan Yan wouldn’t know either.

Since he doesn’t know about the Xuanyuan Sword, the Yelu family’s legacy is more about the accumulation of wealth. But the Wanyan Family is not lacking money at the moment; what they lack is the strength to conquer. And the Sun Shooting Bow can allow an ordinary Martial Artist to have power comparable to the Five Uniques, making its allure obvious!

Prince Wan Yan has grand ambitions but has always been reclusive in the Northern Desert, rarely stepping out. It’s not because he lacks ambition, but because he lacks the strength. His strength is far inferior to the Five Uniques; any wrong step could lead to the Wanyan Family’s destruction, so he is extremely cautious with every move. After all, in such an era, a family without a Peak Master has no voice. Prince Wan Yan’s biggest wish is to cultivate a master as powerful as the Five Uniques, giving the Wanyan Family absolute speaking power!

However, merely relying on ordinary martial arts cultivation to achieve a master like the Five Uniques is not an easy task. Which one among the masters like the Five Uniques is not a prodigy? Out of so many Martial Artists in the world, only these few have the power of the Five Uniques, showing how rare it is. For the Wanyan Family to cultivate such a master, it is as difficult as climbing to heaven!

And now, the opportunity has finally come!

The Sun Shooting Bow could cultivate someone comparable to the Five Uniques, and for the Wanyan Family, this is simply a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. If they can seize the Sun Shooting Bow, it would be equivalent to having a master comparable to the Five Uniques, ensuring a solid position even amidst the chaos of the world!

Therefore, Ye Qing concluded that Prince Wan Yan must have come for the Sun Shooting Bow. Hu Leng could not possibly be unaware of these things. However, he feigned such an expression to confuse Ye Qing, which is reasonable. After all, the fewer people who know about the Sun Shooting Bow, the better.

Thinking that Prince Wan Yan was also going to Humeng City, Ye Qing felt worried. With Prince Wan Yan there, numerous masters must have already gathered. Relying solely on Great General Helian Tiehua would not suffice. The danger for Huangfu Ziyu and the others there has greatly increased.

With this thought, Ye Qing did not delay and quietly called Li Lianshan in the afternoon to book a return flight from Shenchuan City. After returning to Shenchuan City, Ye Qing planned to fly back directly.

Of course, he couldn’t possibly fly directly to Humeng City. Given the current situation there, the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance must have already blocked all transportation routes. If Ye Qing went straight to the Humeng City airport, he would undoubtedly be discovered by the Seven Steering Committees’ people, making it impossible to find Huangfu Ziyu. Therefore, he chose to fly to Wentou City, which is not far from Humeng City. After landing, he could use another mode of transportation to enter Humeng City, making it easier to avoid the Hong Alliance’s spies.

Of course, Hu Leng had no idea Ye Qing was plotting a way to Humeng City. Knowing that Prince Wan Yan had also entered the Meng District, he clearly felt a bit worried. Recently, more and more masters were arriving from Humeng City. The Hong Alliance suffered massive losses in the great battle twenty years ago, and whether they can defend the Sun Shooting Bow this time remains a serious issue. As a direct disciple of the Great General, commanding the strongest knife-wielding guests under the Great General, he wanted to rush back for support immediately. So now, all he wanted was to send Ye Qing and the others off quickly.

Both had their own thoughts and didn’t delay. In the afternoon, Hu Leng personally escorted Ye Qing and the others to the airport, watching their plane take off before hurriedly leaving with his knife-wielding guests, headed straight for Humeng City. Of course, he could never have imagined that Ye Qing would come back with a Turning Horse Spear!

The journey was uneventful, and they returned to Shenchuan City before nightfall. Li Lianshan and Zhao Chengshuang had been waiting at the airport, welcoming Ye Qing and the others back.

Although the Yelu family had heard of Ye Qing’s fame, they had no idea Ye Qing had such influence in Shenchuan City. Seeing the fleet brought by Li Lianshan, everyone was greatly shocked.

The people of the Yelu family, although they are descendants of the imperial family, have not been doing well compared to the Wanyan Family. The decline of the family has led to worse conditions day by day. Moreover, the Yelu family’s ancestral tomb has remained unopened for years, leaving the sealed treasures untouched. Thus, for fellow imperial descendants like them, life has been relatively impoverished. Their shock at seeing Li Lianshan’s display was understandable.

In fact, Li Lianshan’s current wealth in Shenchuan City is not much less than that of the Wanyan Family. It should be noted that Ye Qing and Li Lianshan had taken over half of the city’s venues. Although these venues are now occupied by the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance as their foothold, the income still belongs to Ye Qing and Li Lianshan.

Moreover, the largest clubs in Shenchuan City are all under Li Lianshan’s control, which is a fast way to earn money. In half a year, Li Lianshan is no longer a mere boss managing a few nightclubs. Through these high-class clubs, he has met many upper-level figures, and after gaining connections, he naturally started capital investments. Now, he has transformed into a successful businessman, with diverse interests.

The most notable point is that Li Lianshan collaborates extensively with the Lin Corporation. Li Lianshan holds shares in many of Lin Corporation’s newly developed projects. Lin Zhen Nan of Lin Corporation is an entrepreneur with great investment foresight. The projects he cooperates on with Li Lianshan have yielded huge profits, substantially increasing Li Lianshan’s wealth.

Li Lianshan is a person who never forgets his roots; he knows very well that he owes his current status to Ye Qing. Because of this, whenever he invests in any business, he always reserves a large share for Ye Qing. So while he earns, Ye Qing also profits, their incomes almost equal.

In fact, Ye Qing’s assets even exceed Li Lianshan’s. Before leaving Eastern Province, Huangfu Ziyu gave most of the properties and real estate under her name to Ye Qing. These were the accumulations of Huangfu Ziyu over more than ten years, comparable in value to the assets of the Wanyan Family. However, Ye Qing hasn’t touched these assets; he plans to wait until Huangfu Ziyu returns and then give them back to her.

The Yelu family was unaware of these facts, nor did they know Ye Qing and Li Lianshan were essentially local tycoons in Shenchuan City. Before coming here, they were somewhat worried about their future. After all, they were all women, with some suffering severe injuries, finding jobs here would be difficult, and survival was a concern. Now, seeing this large-scale reception, they felt much more at ease. With Ye Qing having such financial and human resources here, settling them would be quite easy!

”Ye Zi, your ticket is ready.” Seeing Ye Qing disembark, Li Lianshan immediately approached and said, ”However, by your request, you probably won’t make it home.”

”Why?” Ye Qing was surprised.

Li Lianshan glanced at his watch and said, ”Because your flight is already boarding and it’s scheduled to take off in an hour!”

”...” Ye Qing was speechless, not expecting the time to be so tight. But, it was just as well; Ye Qing had been worried about the matters in Humeng City all along, eager to proceed quickly. Now that he could return so soon, it suited him perfectly; he wanted to meet Huangfu Ziyu swiftly.

”In that case, help me take care of them,” Ye Qing introduced the Yelu family members to Li Lianshan.

”Oh, Miss Yelu!” Li Lianshan looked at the Yelu family and said to Yelu Ying, ”Ye Zi already mentioned this on the phone this morning. Rest assured, accommodation is arranged. It’s a villa I used to stay at, with a tranquil environment, surrounded by many of our people, ensuring safety, albeit temporarily. As for future arrangements, we’ll handle them specifically when Ye Zi returns, how about that?”
