Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1688 - 1688: Sinister and Poisonous Shen Qianyue

"Purple Lotus Karma Fire! Purple Lotus Karma Fire!" Corpse Ghost Dragon gritted his teeth, supporting his body with both arms, his face twisted in agony. The pain of having one's body burned alive by flames was simply unbearable. Although Corpse Ghost Dragon had practiced the Fire Spell in his early years, the pain of the flames scorching his body was still bone-deep!"An Shiping, do you think you can kill me with this mere Purple Lotus Karma Fire?" Corpse Ghost Dragon lay on the ground, growling softly: "Once I extinguish this Purple Lotus Karma Fire, I'll immediately storm into Shenchuan City, absorb the cultivation power of these people, and restore my strength to its peak form. Then, I'll master the Demon Sect's Indestructible Demon Body, and by then, who in this world could be my match, Corpse Ghost Dragon? Even if Wu Tianchi comes personally, with my Indestructible Demon Body, what can he do to me? Purple Lotus Karma Fire, you cannot burn me to death, but you can make my will even more unwavering, hahaha, above and below the heavens, only I am supreme! Only I am supreme!"

When he said this, Corpse Ghost Dragon's eyes were filled with a crazed light. At this moment, he seemed to have gone mad, his face flushed, his tone excited, and his expression fervent.

As Shen Qianyue had just stepped out of the villa, Luan Ping and others immediately surrounded him, all talking over each other, inquiring about the situation of Corpse Ghost Dragon.

"Is there any need to ask?" Shen Qianyue glared at the group and said: "How formidable is my Master's strength, even though he was ambushed by those wretches, how could a mere bomb harm him? My Master has already extinguished the flames, he's currently regulating his breathing, and in less than three days, he will have fully restored his strength!"

Upon hearing this, everyone was overjoyed because they were all worried that Corpse Ghost Dragon might have met his downfall this time. If Corpse Ghost Dragon were defeated outright, they would be doomed as well. After helping Corpse Ghost Dragon with so many things, the people of the world would certainly not spare them.

"In that case, let's wait for three days!" Luan Ping said in a deep voice: "Once the Grand Master is out of seclusion, we'll immediately strike at Shenchuan City and wipe out Shen Tianjun and his people in one fell swoop!"

"Still going to Shenchuan City?" someone hesitantly asked: "These people have set such a trap this time, who's to say they won't set another trap next time. If we go to Shenchuan City again, we might fall into their other traps."

"Humph, last time it was because the Grand Master was careless. With the lesson learned, when we go again, the Grand Master will certainly be cautious, no matter what traps they have!" Luan Ping replied coldly: "You all are just too timid. With the Grand Master's strength, if he's not careless, Shen Tianjun and his people are not worth mentioning!"

"You're right, as long as the Grand Master is cautious, these so-called traps are merely decorations!" Another person concurred, and this statement immediately gained the approval of those around them.

"Alright, stop talking about these matters." Shen Qianyue interrupted the group's discussion and said to Luan Ping: "You two peak masters, come with me for a trip to Shenchuan City. Everyone else stay here, remember, do not harm those who do not practice martial arts!"

"Why?" the crowd asked in bewilderment, and Luan Ping also wondered aloud: "At this point, why are we going to Shenchuan City?"

"It is the Master's command. The Master stated that anyone who dares to harm those who do not practice martial arts will be subjected to all worldly sufferings before they die!" Shen Qianyue glanced over the crowd and spoke gravely: "If you do not trust my words, you're welcome to try!"

The crowd immediately fell silent, knowing full well the ruthlessness of Corpse Ghost Dragon's methods; none dared to try.

"But why are we going to Shenchuan City?" Luan Ping asked in shock: "At this moment, Shen Tianjun and his people might be looking for us, intending to strike while the Grand Master is injured. Under such circumstances, the best course of action is to find a hidden place to hide. This place is not concealed enough; it's too close to Shenchuan City. At this time, if we are heading towards Shenchuan City, isn't that going to our doom?"

Shen Qianyue frowned slightly as he looked at Luan Ping and spoke in a deep voice: "The Master commands me to take you two to Shenchuan City to accomplish something for him, Luan Ping, do you not want to go?"

"You..." Luan Ping was greatly annoyed within; Shen Qianyue spoke in a completely commanding tone, which made Luan Ping particularly angry. However, he had no choice, Shen Qianyue was Corpse Ghost Dragon's disciple, and earlier, only Shen Qianyue had gone to meet Corpse Ghost Dragon, and he had no idea what Corpse Ghost Dragon might have told him. Regarding this matter, he certainly couldn't just rush in to ask Corpse Ghost Dragon.

"If you do not wish to go or doubt my words, you are free not to go. After the Master emerges, you can explain the matter to him!" Shen Qianyue coldly eyed another peak master and spoke in a deep voice: "What about you?"

Before the peak master could speak, Luan Ping immediately said: "Since it is the Grand Master's order, how could we possibly have any objections? Qianyue, you're the Grand Master's disciple; why would I doubt your words?"

It's undeniable, Luan Ping was rather thick-skinned, able to speak so humbly to a junior in this situation. However, there really was no other way, he had witnessed Corpse Ghost Dragon's methods firsthand, choosing not to die senselessly at Corpse Ghost Dragon's hands!

Seeing Luan Ping like this, Shen Qianyue felt quite pleased. He never dreamed that one day he'd make a Peak Master bow and scrape to him; it was truly a delightful sensation!

The three left the villa, changed clothes, and disguised themselves, found a car, and headed quietly to the other side of Shenchuan City. Upon arriving, Shen Qianyue didn't go directly to look for Ye Qing and the others but first checked into a hotel.

Although Shenchuan City was now full of people from the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, Shen Qianyue and his companions had already disguised themselves, stuck on beards, and naturally, no one could recognize them. Moreover, no one on Ye Qing's side could have anticipated that Shen Qianyue and his group would dare return to Shenchuan City. After all, with Corpse Ghost Dragon seriously injured, they'd certainly be lying low, who'd think they'd dare return?

The three of them walked into the hotel room, and only then did Luan Ping breathe a sigh of relief, and whisper: "******, this fake beard is really annoying, so uncomfortable!"

Luan Ping originally had a beard, but it wasn't thick. This time, he had pasted on more facial hair, almost covering his face, making him look like an old man with a long beard. Throughout the journey, the beard fluttered continuously, making him quite irritable.

"Don't touch the beard," Shen Qianyue whispered, "if it's crooked and someone spots a flaw, it will be troublesome."

"Ah, you haven't worn a long fake beard; you have no idea how frustrating it is!" Luan Ping sighed quietly, asking: "By the way, what on earth are we doing in Shenchuan City? We're here now, surely you can tell us!"

"There are two tasks..." Shen Qianyue said sternly, "The first task is to surveil Shen Tianjun's side, there's an old man to watch for, see when he leaves Shenchuan City. The second task is to capture one of Bloody Monk or Wolf Monk back to the villa!"

"What?" Luan Ping's eyes widened, "Capture...capture Bloody Monk and Wolf Monk? Are you kidding? These two are incredibly powerful, even if we join forces, we might defeat one of them. But with so many Peak Masters in Shenchuan City, as soon as we engage one, the others will come to help. We might not even escape alive, much less capture them. Qianyue, surely you jest? Would the Grand Master ask us to do something so impossible?"

"This is indeed Master's orders!" Shen Qianyue looked at Luan Ping, saying sternly, "I know it's not easy to capture them, but if force won't work, we can use strategy!"

"Strategy? What's the plan?" Luan Ping asked curiously.

"I don't know Wolf Monk well, but I do have some insight on Bloody Monk." Shen Qianyue said in a serious tone, "I heard from Shen Tianjun before that Bloody Monk is extremely arrogant and prefers action over words when dealing with grudges. No matter how strong the enemy, he dares to confront them. Capturing him won't be easy, but we can use his personality to lure him out of Shenchuan City and over to the villa area!"

"Lure him out?" Luan Ping and another Peak Master exchanged a glance, curious: "How do we lure him? Go to his Sha Men gate and curse at him until he comes out?"

"Of course not!" Shen Qianyue shook his head and said, "Bloody Monk has another weakness, he fiercely protects his own. If his Sha Men subordinates suffer losses, he'll avenge them even at the cost of his life. We can use this to our advantage!"

Upon hearing this, both of their eyes lit up, Luan Ping exclaimed: "Hey, that's a good idea! I also heard Bloody Monk fiercely protects his own, willing to fight to the death for his subordinates. And he's so arrogant, he tends to act alone. If we capture one of his underlings, he'll surely come after us solo, allowing us to lure him out of Shenchuan City. Once outside the city, the two of us can definitely take him down!"

Shen Qianyue nodded slowly, saying: "That's the plan, lure Bloody Monk out of Shenchuan City first, then make our move. But we have to act when Bloody Monk is separated from other Peak Masters!"

"Bloody Monk generally doesn't stick with other Peak Masters, right?" Luan Ping said: "He's so arrogant, I heard Ye Qing had to invite him to deal with the Grand Master. Otherwise, he wouldn't even be involved!"

"In the past, he did act alone, only with Sha Men followers. But the situation is a bit different now!" Shen Qianyue said sternly: "His apprentice brother, Wolf Monk, has been accompanying him recently. That makes two Peak Masters together, complicating matters!"
