Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1992 - 1992: What a Small World for Foes

Walking out of the cave, Ye Qing felt the sunlight shining brightly all around, and his mood was much lighter. Although he did not know that he had obtained the Karmic Dao, for some reason, after leaving this cave, his originally gloomy mood suddenly brightened, and he felt much better than before.Previously, he carried the Buddha's Relic, and he could almost be said to be the target of everyone under the sky. The people around him sacrificed greatly to protect him, and at that time, Ye Qing's only thought was that he might as well die. But now, after walking out of this cave, Ye Qing suddenly had a great ambition to change his fate.

Ye Qing did not know that after obtaining the Karmic Dao, his mindset was also undergoing a great transformation!

"Let's go, I'll take you out for a stroll!" Ye Qing called over the Fat Jiao beside him, only to find that the Fat Jiao was standing at the mouth of the cave and did not follow him forward.

"What's wrong with you?" Seeing the Fat Jiao like this, Ye Qing couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The Fat Jiao looked at Ye Qing, then looked ahead, its shiny black eyes conveying who knows what, only shaking its head at Ye Qing.

"You don't want to go out?" Ye Qing asked in surprise.

The Fat Jiao still shook its head, its expression telling Ye Qing it actually did want to go out.

"Then why not come out with me?" Ye Qing asked again.

The Fat Jiao thought for a moment, stretched out its two small claws, and gestured a lot to Ye Qing. Of course, Ye Qing didn't understand its meaning, but seeing its firm expression, Ye Qing knew there must be something going on, so the Fat Jiao clearly wasn't prepared to leave Mount Wendao.

Ye Qing originally wanted to take the Fat Jiao out; having such a ferocious beast accompanying him, he wouldn't have to be afraid even if he met the Immortal Lord. However, now that this Fat Jiao didn't want to leave with him, Ye Qing felt slightly down. Nevertheless, Ye Qing did not force the Fat Jiao, as Mount Wendao had always been the place where it grew, and Ye Qing naturally couldn't forcibly make it leave Mount Wendao.

"Alright, if you don't want to go out, then I'll come back to see you another day!" Ye Qing walked to the Fat Jiao's side, reached out to stroke its head, suddenly remembered something, and took out a small bottle from his body, pouring some Ziyu Chenxiang Pills into his hand.

These Ziyu Chenxiang Pills were exchanged by Ye Qing from the Shen Family using the fragments of the Devouring Demon Flower. There were two bottles in total, originally intended to be taken to the Demon Hideout Cave to give to the Demon Pet. But the Fat Jiao was also very kind to Ye Qing, so Ye Qing couldn't favor one over the other. He poured all the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills from one bottle out and handed them to the Fat Jiao's mouth, suggesting it try one.

The Fat Jiao had never seen this kind of thing before. It looked curiously at the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills in Ye Qing's hand, sniffed lightly, seemingly attracted by the aroma, and stretched out its tongue to roll one into its mouth.

Ye Qing watched the Fat Jiao closely; after that Ziyu Chenxiang Pill entered its mouth, the Fat Jiao was obviously quite intoxicated, eyes closed, as if enjoying the sensation of the pill entering its mouth. Moments later, it suddenly opened its eyes, opened its mouth wide, and directly swallowed all the Ziyu Chenxiang Pills in Ye Qing's hand, then excitedly circled Ye Qing as if it were a child who had eaten candy.

Seeing the Fat Jiao like this, Ye Qing couldn't help but snicker. This little guy was exactly like the Demon Pet, actually liking to eat the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill.

It should be known that although the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill was precious, it was far inferior to the Century-Old Jade Ganoderma Ye Qing had just obtained. The Ziyu Chenxiang Pills could only detoxify and cure diseases, but the Century-Old Jade Ganoderma had the effect of extending human life, which was the most rare. Under the heavens, there are many Holy Medicines that can detoxify and cure diseases. However, medicines that can extend life are extremely rare.

In fact, the Devouring Demon Flower in the Demon Hideout Cave was even more precious than the Century-Old Jade Ganoderma. Because the Devouring Demon Flower contained the power of the Great Demon King, which the Century-Old Jade Ganoderma couldn't compare to.

But regardless of whether it was the Demon Pet or the Fat Jiao, they were willing to exchange things more precious than the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill for it, not because the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill was more precious, but because they didn't lack the Devouring Demon Flower and the Century-Old Jade Ganoderma. It should be known that the Demon Pet's main food was the Devouring Demon Flower, and the Fat Jiao's main food was the Jade Ganoderma. These two items, to them, were just like ordinary grains and flour, lacking a sense of preciousness. However, it was the first time they tasted the Ziyu Chenxiang Pill, naturally making it extremely rare.

Ye Qing did not know these things, but seeing the Fat Jiao's excited look, Ye Qing was also happy in his heart. He reached out and stroked the Fat Jiao's head, laughing, "Alright, I should go now. Once I've dealt with matters outside, I'll come over to spend more days with you!"

The Fat Jiao understood Ye Qing's words, and it looked at Ye Qing with eyes that clearly showed a reluctant desire for him to stay. However, in the end, it did not stop Ye Qing, only waving its two little claws randomly as it watched Ye Qing leave.

Ye Qing descended along the mountain path, covering several miles. Looking back, he saw that Fat Jiao was still standing on the mountain watching him with evident reluctance. This made Ye Qing's eyes redden; even though he had only just met Fat Jiao, he was also very reluctant to part with it.

However, it was time to leave, as many things outside needed his attention. After leaving Mount Wendao, Ye Qing turned to the rear of the mountain.

Previously, Ye Qing had entered the mountain with the Tianzhu Sword. But when the Great Lord and the group of foreigners found him, Ye Qing tossed the Tianzhu Sword down the cliff to protect it before they reached him. Now that he had emerged from the mountain, he naturally needed to find the Tianzhu Sword.

Reaching the back of the mountain, Ye Qing arrived at the canyon beneath the cliff. The environment in the canyon was complex, filled with bushes and undergrowth, making the search for the Tianzhu Sword not an easy task.

Ye Qing entered the canyon, going near the spot where he had thrown the Tianzhu Sword, hoping to search for it. But just two minutes into his search, a cold voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Are you looking for this?"

The speaker used a foreign language, and the voice was familiar—it was the Great Lord's voice.

This situation made Ye Qing's heart sink; despite all his calculations, he had missed one. He never expected the Great Lord and his men to still be there. Moreover, in seeking the Tianzhu Sword, he had walked right into their trap!

Ye Qing turned and saw the Great Lord standing on a rock not far from him. Behind him were eight or nine people who had accompanied him, the foreigners who had come with him. The Great Lord's men had lost a few on Mount Wendao, so those who followed him now were all that was left.

The Great Lord was holding a box in his hand, the box containing the Tianzhu Sword. It seemed the Great Lord and his men had obtained the sword first.

Ye Qing looked at the Great Lord, frowning tightly, but still pretended not to understand him.

The elderly man next to the Great Lord, who spoke Huaxia, couldn't hold back, and upon seeing Ye Qing's act, immediately cursed: "Ye Qing, there's no need to pretend, we've contacted the Church and discovered your identity. You're a top student from Northern University, your foreign language skills are excellent, stop acting like you don't understand us!"

Upon hearing this from the old man, Ye Qing felt a chill in his heart. He hadn't expected the Church to have uncovered his identity. Didn't this mean these people also knew about the Buddha's Relic? Now the issue wasn't just about saving his life. The crux was that the Church would definitely question him about the whereabouts of the Buddha's Relic, and that was the most troublesome part.

At this point, Ye Qing stopped concealing and coldly replied: "You have spent quite some time down here, have you confirmed my identity?"

"Nonsense, we've been out for three days. You think we were idle?" The old man muttered in a deep voice.

"You guys are really patient, waiting here for me for three days?" Ye Qing asked in amazement, "Aren't you afraid I might have died in the mountain?"

"If you died, then it's our misfortune, and the Buddha's Relic will elude us. But if you haven't died, then we still have a chance!" The Great Lord said coldly, "We've just been waiting here a few days, we have time, we're not in a hurry. If you didn't come out, we would have asked the Church for stronger experts to directly enter the mountain and find you. No matter what, without seeing your corpse, we won't give up!"

Ye Qing pursed his lips; these people were really persistent, wanting to see him alive or dead, which meant that once out, he wouldn't be able to escape.

"Experts from the Church?" Ye Qing sneered coldly, "Even if you send stronger experts, can they deal with that Jiao? I think you guys are just blowing hot air!"

"Hmph, just a beast, what waves can it stir?" The Great Lord sneered, "That beast, at most surpasses Acme. Do you really think the Church lacks Peak Masters who surpass Acme?"

Ye Qing furrowed his brows, this was indeed a key issue. The Church housed many experts, Peak Masters had emerged in such numbers, evidencing the Church's power. Such a powerful force surely couldn't lack those who surpass Acme. It seems the Church's strength was genuinely fearsome, far beyond the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance and the Twelve Green Halls, even far surpassing the Wanyan Family!

"So, the Church indeed has capabilities!" Ye Qing slowly scanned the crowd and said, "Since the Church possesses such skill, why come to find me? Is it possible even the Church covets Shakyamuni's Buddha's Relic? Is the Church afraid of Shakyamuni's Buddha's Relic?"
