Urban Martial Saint

Sitting in Panlong Valley, Ye Qing recounted Lin Tianyou’s situation to Bai Li Xi. It was clear that Bai Li Xi was very pleased with Lin Tianyou.

In fact, even before going to Medicine King Mountain, Bai Li Xi was already satisfied with Lin Tianyou. Now, the things Lin Tianyou had done suited his temperament even more, so he was filled with even greater expectations for this Junior Brother.

”You’re saying, Junior Brother will come here to rescue us?” Bai Li Xi looked around, frowned slightly, and said, ”How could that work? There are at least six Peak Masters from the Wanyan family outside. Even if Junior Brother has gained Master’s power, he’s only a Peak Master. If he comes here, he won’t be able to contend with those six Peak Masters outside, and he’ll end up like us, trapped in this Panlong Valley. No way, Young Ye, call Junior Brother quickly, tell him not to come!”

It must be said, Bai Li Xi did indeed think a lot about Lin Tianyou. However, Ye Qing also had his considerations; otherwise, he wouldn’t have had Lin Tianyou come here.

”No need to worry about this!” Ye Qing said, ”We indeed lack manpower now, but don’t forget, there are several Peak Masters lying here. If Brother Lin comes over and revives them, won’t we have more combat strength? At that time, if we really clash with the Wanyan family outside, it’s hard to say who will win, but we definitely won’t be trapped in this valley!”

Hearing this, Bai Li Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, ”Oh, I almost forgot. Yes, they are all Peak Masters! If they can be revived, how could we fear those people outside?”

Ye Qing chuckled lightly. The reason he dared to enter Panlong Valley so boldly was indeed because of this. There were several Peak Masters lying here now; once they were revived, they would be a considerable force in dealing with the people outside.

Of course, this was only a temporary solution to the current predicament. The biggest problem remained the Wanyan family. Their power is too strong. If they truly defeated the Knife Saint Sect this time, then in Huaxia, the Wanyan family would truly dominate alone. At that point, Ye Qing and his group would be in danger!

Ye Qing couldn’t consider those future events for now and could only think about the current matters.

——————

That night, in Shenchuan City, the former manor of the World Alliance had been taken over by the Wanyan family and turned into their estate.

Inside the estate, in a corner, a man dressed in black tight-fitting clothes sneaked out. His qinggong was excellent, silently evading the Wanyan family’s guards as he slipped out. No one noticed his presence throughout the process, and the Wanyan family had no idea such a person had entered their estate.

After slipping out from the estate, the man headed toward the suburbs. Arriving at the edge of the North Suburb, he came to an old, rundown house. He crouched near the edge, emitting a few bird calls, seemingly signaling.

Soon after, a bird call answered from inside the house. The window of the house was opened, and without hesitation, the man climbed through the window into the room.

The room was filled with people; upon close inspection, they were the members of the Killing Gate, including the Seven Hidden of the Killing Gate, Cui Yulong, and the Left Protector of the Killing Gate.

During the last great battle in Shenchuan City, Ye Qing, aware of their low chances of victory, had arranged for others to leave in advance. Among those who left were the members of the Killing Gate. Thus, during the chaos, the Killing Gate managed to escape capture by the Wanyan family. Now, they had returned to Shenchuan City. What exactly were they up to?

Upon entering the room, Cui Yulong, who was hiding by the window, quickly shut it, hurried over to the man, and whispered, ”Venerable, how did it go?”

The man removed the black cloth covering his face, revealing himself to be the Purple Robe Lama.

The Purple Robe Lama had already left Shenchuan City before the Reincarnated True Buddha’s departure to complete another task for him. After completing the task, Shenchuan City fell into the Wanyan family’s hands. The Purple Robe Lama had quietly returned to Shenchuan City and coincidentally met with the Killing Gate members, forming a natural alliance.

That night, the Purple Robe Lama specifically entered Shenchuan City to gather intelligence from the Wanyan family. Meanwhile, the Killing Gate members waited here for news from the Purple Robe Lama.

Taking a deep breath, the Purple Robe Lama looked at the others, saying, ”Wanyan Hongfeng has already taken the elite forces of the Wanyan family to the Knife Saint Sect, preparing to besiege them!”

”They’re going to besiege the Knife Saint Sect?” Cui Yu’s face changed, saying, ”The Knife Saint Sect isn’t weak. Isn’t the Wanyan family worried about mutual destruction by besieging them now? What is Wanyan Hongfeng thinking? The Church is restless, yet he’s choosing to clash with the Knife Saint Sect now—what’s his plan?”

No one in the group could fathom the Wanyan family’s intentions. After discussing, the Purple Robe Lama lowered his voice and said, ”There’s another very crucial matter!”

”What is it?” Everyone immediately looked at the Purple Robe Lama nervously, eager to know what could be more significant than the Wanyan family besieging the Knife Saint Sect.

In a solemn tone, the Purple Robe Lama said, ”I discovered in the Wanyan family that they have already found Bai Li Xi, and they’ve trapped him in Panlong Valley!”

”What!?” Everyone’s expression changed; this was significant. They all knew about Bai Li Xi taking the wounded away. If he’s trapped, aren’t the wounded in danger too? Among them is the Wolf Monk, the vice sect leader of their Killing Gate. Naturally, this concerned everyone greatly.

”I think we must go to help Bai Li Xi...” The Purple Robe Lama said solemnly, ”I suspect Bai Li Xi can’t hold out much longer. If we don’t assist, I’m afraid they’ll fall into the Wanyan family’s hands!”

”Then we must go right away!”

”Panlong Valley isn’t far from here; we can go overnight!”

”Yes, let’s hurry up and go!”

The members of the Killing Gate clamored to help at Panlong Valley, except Cui Yu, who furrowed his brow and said solemnly, ”Can we save Mr. Bai Li if we go like this?”

With Cui Yu’s question, everyone turned to look at him. Ghost King Li Ruoyuan scratched his head, saying, ”Regardless, we have to go rescue them!”

”I know, but the current problem is, how do we rescue them?” Cui Yu said, ”Our Killing Gate Seven Hidden combined have the fighting power of a Peak Master. Including the Purple-robed Elder, that’s two Peak Masters. But the Wanyan family might have several Peak Masters there. Whether we can save Mr. Bai Li is uncertain; we risk being trapped ourselves!”

”This...” Everyone exchanged glances, realizing Cui Yu spoke the truth.

”Ah, if only Ding San were here, that would be great!” Li Ruoyuan sighed.

Everyone nodded in agreement. White-haired Ding San now possessed the fighting power of a Peak Master, and he wasn’t weak among them. However, during the last battle, he had been taken by the Bloody Monk and hadn’t been seen since. Amidst the chaos post-battle, no one knew where he was, and they couldn’t find him now.

”Shall we try contacting the Sect Leader again?” Demon Queen He Qinghua suggested softly.

Everyone looked at Cui Yu, as he was the only one who could contact the Bloody Monk. They had tried reaching out to him multiple times after the last battle but had given up after failing to connect. Would another attempt reach the Bloody Monk?

Cui Yu fell silent for a moment before saying, ”Very well, I’ll attempt to contact the Sect Leader again. If we can reach him, with his help, rescuing Mr. Bai Li becomes much easier!”

Everyone nodded as Cui Yu took out his phone and dialed the Bloody Monk’s number once more. Previously, it was always out of service—what would be the result this time?

The group held their breath, their eyes fixed eagerly on Cui Yu’s phone, hearts pounding with anticipation. The matter was of great importance.

After a moment, the phone finally rang. This time, it connected, without the out-of-service message. The group was overjoyed, faces alight with indescribable excitement.

After two rings, the call connected, and the voice of the Bloody Monk came through: ”Where are you?”

”Sect Leader...” Cui Yu called out, his voice trembling slightly. In such chaotic times, reconnecting with the Bloody Monk felt like finding a pillar of support. The admiration the Killing Gate members had for the Bloody Monk was unparalleled.

Taking a deep breath, Cui Yu explained the situation with Bai Li Xi to the Bloody Monk. He immediately instructed them to head to Panlong Valley, and the Bloody Monk himself changed his course toward Panlong Valley.

After the call ended, the Killing Gate members cheered. With the Bloody Monk joining them, they felt much more secure. This battle now seemed within their grasp.

Cui Yu turned to the Purple Robe Lama and said, ”Venerable, we’ve contacted the Sect Leader; let’s head to Panlong Valley now!”

However, the Purple Robe Lama’s reaction was unexpected. He looked at everyone, paused briefly, and said in a low voice, ”I’m not going to Panlong Valley. I have another very important task to do!”
