Urban Martial Saint

Bai Qinghuan, or should I say Shen Qianyue, turned his head to glance at Luan Ping and said, ”I’ve already planned everything, you don’t need to worry at all. Even if Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk decide to follow, so what? If they both leave, then Shenchuan City will be defenseless, and we could capture a few from Sha Men. In this way, Shenchuan City will surely descend into chaos. By then, we can take the Master away and hide. In their bid to find us, they would inevitably disperse, presenting us with opportunities!”

”That’s a good plan!” Luan Ping exclaimed with joy, ”I noticed there’s a child at Sha Men called Broom Star, whom Bloody Monk seems to value highly. With Bloody Monk absent, he instructed White-haired Ding San to keep an eye on the child. Perhaps we can abduct the child; that would make things even cleaner!”

”More than that!” Shen Qianyue said in a low voice, ”Not only does Bloody Monk value this child, but crucially, Ye Qing sent him to Sha Men specifically for Bloody Monk to look after. Ye Qing also places a high value on this child. If we can capture the child, not only will Sha Men be thrown into disarray, but Ye Qing will certainly be in turmoil too.”

”However...” another Peak Master furrowed his brows slightly and whispered, ”If Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk aren’t successfully distracted this time, then capturing the child won’t be so easy, and our plan...”

”What are you thinking!” Luan Ping glanced at him and said, ”Our intention was always to lure Ye Qing away so we can strike directly at Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk. If they aren’t distracted, why bother trying to abduct the child? We could just confront those two directly.”

”The two of us against the two of them might not ensure a victory!” the Peak Master whispered, ”Dealing with Wolf Monk is one thing, but Bloody Monk is formidable and difficult to contend with. Capturing them both while abducting one is extremely challenging!”

”Who said it’s just you two? Isn’t there me as well?” Shen Qianyue smiled coldly, ”Though my skills aren’t at the Acme level, the Master has already taught me how to deal with Bloody Monk. To confront him, Acme-level skills aren’t necessarily required!”

”Oh?” Luan Ping and the other person both looked at Shen Qianyue with surprise, curious about the method imparted by the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

------------------------

At around nine o’clock at night, Li Lianshan, accompanied by a group of subordinates, had just left the courtyard opposite the hospital’s back entrance. This courtyard was an old residence of Li Lianshan in the city, though it hasn’t been renovated, Li Lianshan usually enjoys living there nevertheless.

Recently, due to the Corpse Ghost Dragon issue, Li Lianshan and Ye Qing’s trusted aides have all been brought to Shenchuan City as a precaution against attacks from the Corpse Ghost Dragon.

Initially, Li Lianshan and others were hidden in the city by Ye Qing, preventing them from wandering around, lest they be targeted by the Corpse Ghost Dragon. Fortunately, after An Shiping’s arrival, he spoke about Wu Tianchi, threatening the Corpse Ghost Dragon not to target those without martial arts skills. For this reason, Ye Qing felt somewhat relieved, and Li Lianshan’s group could finally return to a normal lifestyle.

However, Li Lianshan was extremely cautious, only occasionally stepping out with a few subordinates nearby for meals, never venturing too far. Just as they stepped out of the courtyard seeking a place to eat, a sudden scream erupted not far away.

”What’s going on?” Li Lianshan frowned, turning to see many people panicking and running around, as if some major incident had occurred.

”Brother, there seems to be a fight breaking out!” said one of Li Lianshan’s underlings beside him.

”*******, who dares to cause trouble right at my doorstep?” Li Lianshan frowned, ”Go check it out, see who those clueless punks are, and chase them off.”

”Yes!” several underlings responded, turning and heading over. They had barely walked a few steps when someone from the crowd was hit and flown out, crashing directly into a nearby car, almost destroying it.

The underlings were immediately terrified; this wasn’t a mere street fight but a clash of masters. Who among ordinary people could send an adult flying with such force?

Li Lianshan was also startled, realizing the seriousness of the situation, quickly trying to run towards a nearby shop. Just then, another scream rang out, followed by several young men frantically rushing from the crowd, heading straight towards Li Lianshan’s group.

Li Lianshan then managed to see clearly, there were two elderly men behind them, each holding a young man, with several more injured young men lying on the ground. The two elderly figures were overwhelmingly strong, casually throwing the young men they held aside as if they were mere children. These two elders were indeed Luan Ping and another Peak Master.

There’s no doubt that these are all skilled martial artists. Li Lianshan immediately took another step into the store, wanting to hide behind the counter; he didn’t want to take on these people directly.

Who knew, before he could get behind the counter, these few youths had already run up to him. One of them saw him and promptly shouted, ”Damn, Li Lianshan, what are you doing here? Run quickly! Those two are subordinates of Corpse Ghost Dragon; if they catch you, you’re as good as dead!”

Li Lianshan could see clearly that this youth was none other than Aomuhan, who had a feud with Ye Qing before. Although Li Lianshan hadn’t confronted him directly, he knew this person was part of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance.

Listening to Aomuhan’s words, Li Lianshan nearly collapsed: You ****** if you hadn’t shouted, who would know I’m Li Lianshan? With your shout, well alright, now they immediately know my identity, what’s the point of running?

”Li Lianshan?” Luan Ping and his companions had just chased over and, hearing this, Luan Ping frowned slightly and said, ”This Li Lianshan seems to be Ye Qing’s brother!”

”Capture him as a hostage!” Another Peak Master shouted angrily and rushed into the store.

Seeing this Peak Master rush in, Li Lianshan almost spat blood. If he had a gun now, the first person he would shoot would definitely not be Luan Ping’s group, but that grandson Aomuhan. If it wasn’t for that grandson’s words, who would know he is Li Lianshan?

”What are you doing?” Aomuhan turned his head, pretending to stop them, but was slapped away by Luan Ping, being hit and sent flying through the air. The Peak Master also reached out to grab Li Lianshan’s collar, pulling him out directly; Li Lianshan, in his hand, had no strength to resist at all.

Luan Ping wanted to chase after Aomuhan and the others, but the Peak Master shouted from behind, ”Let’s go. This is Shenchuan City, do you want to bring all the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance?”

Only then did Luan Ping begrudgingly stop in his tracks, glaring coldly at Aomuhan and the others, saying in a deep voice, ”Within ten days, we will certainly storm back into Shenchuan City again; just wait to die!”

”Let go of our boss!” Li Lianshan’s men rushed over, roaring in anger trying to intercept. Luan Ping casually slapped them away; their efforts to get close to these two Peak Masters were in vain.

None of Aomuhan’s group dared to approach, instead watching from afar as Luan Ping and his companions took Li Lianshan away. As for Li Lianshan’s men, once they managed to get up, they were also seriously injured. As they watched Li Lianshan being taken away, it was unclear who shouted first, ”Quick, call Ye!”

Aomuhan heard this and a cold smile flashed across his lips. Actually, it was all intentional. He and Bai Qinghuan deliberately brought people from the Seven Families here, seeing Li Lianshan come out from the courtyard, pretended to accidentally run into Luan Ping’s group who were buying medicine here, and then fought. After that, he led these people towards Li Lianshan, deliberately shouting Li Lianshan’s name, purposefully letting Luan Ping capture Li Lianshan. All this went perfectly according to his plan, which made him very satisfied.

”Quick, call the family and inform them of this.” Bai Qinghuan, beside Aomuhan, whispered, ”Including Ye Qing, make sure you notify Ye Qing about this quickly!”

Aomuhan smiled knowingly, nodding, ”Alright!”

Watching Aomuhan take out his phone to make a call, a barely perceptible cold smile flickered in Bai Qinghuan’s eyes as well. Aomuhan thought his plan worked effectively, not knowing he was completely being used by Bai Qinghuan. Bai Qinghuan wanted Aomuhan involved to get the Seven Families involved too, to confuse Ye Qing’s focus so Ye Qing wouldn’t spot his plan.

The news reached both the Seven Families and Ye Qing almost simultaneously. Ye Qing had gathered several internal power manuals and was studying them in seclusion. Upon receiving the news of Li Lianshan being captured by Luan Ping, Ye Qing immediately set aside all the books and rushed to the hall where Helian Tiehua and Shen Tianjun were.

Helian Tiehua and the others also received the news; several great masters were gathered here. Ye Qing ran into the hall, saw the expressions on their faces, and immediately knew they had also received the news. Without further ado, Ye Qing said directly, ”Who’s coming with me to rescue him?”

”This...” Helian Tiehua and the others exchanged glances; the group was clearly hesitant. Luan Ping’s group captured Li Lianshan, and he was surely taken to Corpse Ghost Dragon. Corpse Ghost Dragon’s strength was such that even An Shiping was unwilling to pursue him; who among them dared to provoke him now?

”No one going?” Ye Qing furrowed his brow, saying in a deep voice, ”If no one goes, then I’ll go alone!”
