Urban Martial Saint

"Yes, finally got out. If I didn't get out soon, I'd have starved to death!" Old Chen's voice rang out just in time. This guy never fell behind in conversation. At least, before Ye Qing had time to speak, Old Chen had already spoken.

"Shut up!" Wen'er glared at Old Chen indignantly, then looked at Ye Qing and said excitedly, "Ye, did you encounter any traps inside? Were you hurt?"

Before Ye Qing could respond, Old Chen interjected, "Look at how lively he is, does he look injured? Why don't you look at me, I'm almost..."

"If you say another word, believe it or not, I'll sew your mouth shut!" Wen'er shouted suddenly, scaring Old Chen into a shiver. He stared at Wen'er with wide eyes, biting his lips, and said in a low voice, "Can I say just one more sentence? Just one!"

"One sentence is fine. If you dare say a second, I'll immediately sew your mouth shut!" Wen'er threatened in a deep voice.

Old Chen nodded, staring at Wen'er for a while, then shouted, "Beauty, you're so pretty when you're angry!"

"Damn!" Ye Qing and the Seventh Elder sitting on the side cursed simultaneously. Not just the two of them, even Fu Qingping leaning against the rock wall behind couldn't help but shake his head. Old Chen was hopeless!

Old Chen didn't care about everyone's expressions, standing by with a silly grin, his eyes always on Wen'er. The name of this old lecher was indeed deserved, at least, no one else would dare say something like that in such a situation.

Wen'er was so angry she almost spat blood, wishing she could just sew Old Chen's mouth shut. However, she also knew that Old Chen's background was unknown, she didn't dare go too far. She just glared at him fiercely, using her eyes to tell him not to speak again.

Old Chen seemed to understand, still looking at Wen'er. Since coming out, his eyes hadn't left her. He looked as if he hadn't seen a woman in lifetimes!

Watching Old Chen like this, Ye Qing was also extremely embarrassed. After all, it was him who brought Old Chen out. With such a personality, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel awkward.

"Fortunately, there were no traps inside, just a maze, which wasn't easy to get through. But I've figured out the pattern of the maze and found the exit behind it. We should be able to get out of this cave from that exit!" Ye Qing said.

"Really?" The Seventh Elder was the first to stand up, exclaiming excitedly, "Can we really get out?"

"We should be able to get out," Ye Qing nodded and said, "There's a stone corridor that stretches far out. If this corridor isn't a way out, then there's probably no other way out of this cave."

"If that's the case, why are we still standing here?" The Seventh Elder urged eagerly, "Let's hurry and try it out!"

The Seventh Elder had been trapped here too long; he couldn't stand the cave's conditions any longer. Moreover, in his heart, he felt that he had outwitted Ye Qing this time. If he could bring the items from the Tomb of Guiguzi back to the Wanyan Family, it would be a major achievement. He was eager to get out and feel the thrill of such a success.

"Alright!" Ye Qing nodded and moved to help Fu Qingping, but Fu Qingping waved him off and stood up himself.

"My injuries are almost healed. It won't take a day to recover fully!" Fu Qingping whispered to Ye Qing.

Seeing Fu Qingping back to normal, Ye Qing couldn't help but feel joy. If Fu Qingping could regain his combat strength, that would be excellent news. At least, he'd be more confident in rescuing Huangfu Zi Yu. Moreover, according to Fu Qingping, after this battle, he'd begun integrating everything he'd learned with the Innate Nine Diagrams. It wouldn't be long before he completely broke through the acme. If Fu Qingping became a beyond-peerless master because of this, that would be even better news.

Seeing Fu Qingping able to walk by himself, Ye Qing didn't offer more help, but led the Seventh Elder ahead. Although the Seventh Elder's Qi Sea acupoint was destroyed, losing his martial arts, Ye Qing still didn't trust him and felt it necessary to watch him closely.

The Seventh Elder wasn't suspecting anything; he was still preoccupied with gaining credit. Following closely behind Ye Qing, he headed directly into the cave.

Upon reaching the maze's entrance, Old Chen immediately shouted, "Everyone be careful, this place is strange. Don't be fooled by the stone slabs below; stepping on them might lead to unforeseen circumstances. A wrong step and you might fall into a pit. By the time you climb out, you could be hundreds of meters elsewhere. I suspect this place is haunted, so everyone mustn't step wrongly. Follow Young Ye closely; he got through here, don't make a mistake..."

"Can you stop rambling?" Wen'er said impatiently. Old Chen always had endless things to say.

"I...I'm just telling the truth. I'm worried you might step wrong, doing it for everyone's sake!" Old Chen retorted, feeling wronged.

Wen'er said, "You think of everyone, can't you just keep it short? You can explain things in two sentences, but you insist on dragging out a long speech, wasting everyone's time!"

Old Chen: "Hey, this isn't wasting everyone's time; I'm just trying to make things clearer. If it's unclear, nobody will understand what's going on. Once it's clear, everyone can really grasp the situation. This is also thinking about everyone. Besides, do you think I enjoy talking so much? Saying too much also wastes my breath; I'm doing this out of a spirit of giving, so..."

"Alright, follow me closely, step on my footprints!" Ye Qing didn't wait for Old Chen to finish his sentence and directly walked into the maze. This old guy could talk endlessly. If you wait for him outside, who knows when he will finish? Better to just go in directly.

Seeing Ye Qing step into the maze, Old Chen immediately shivered and shut his mouth. Although he's long-winded, he's also quite shrewd, knowing that once you enter the maze, dangers lurk in every corner. So, he dared not speak again, but instead followed Ye Qing's footsteps cautiously, fearing a misstep could be perilous.

Although the three with Wen'er didn't understand the maze's power, seeing Ye Qing's serious demeanor and Old Chen's previous explanations, they also dared not underestimate the maze. The three closely followed Ye Qing, practically stepping on Ye Qing's footprints to move forward. After spending about ten minutes, the group finally passed through the maze, reaching its end.

Arriving here, the first thing that came into view was the stone corridor on the distant stone wall. Seeing this stone corridor, the Seventh Elder was overjoyed and quickly said, "This stone corridor must be the way out, right? We can finally get out! "

The Seventh Elder was very excited, and even ran forward a bit, eager to immediately enter the stone corridor for a closer look.

Ye Qing walked behind, watching the Seventh Elder and Old Chen walk off, and then quietly took out the fragment of the stele from earlier, handing it to Fu Qingping nearby, and whispered, "Master, please take a look at this."

"What is this?" Fu Qingping took the stele fragment, looking at it while asking.

Ye Qing said, "There was originally a stele here with the Tomb of Guiguzi carved on it, blocking the exit, with many words carved upon it. However, the stele shattered earlier, leaving fragments all over the ground. This piece is one of those fragments; you can see words engraved on it!"

While Ye Qing was speaking, Fu Qingping also saw the engravings on the stele fragment. Ye Qing's words clearly shocked him, as he knew very well what significance the Tomb of Guiguzi stele represented. He stared at the engravings for a while and whispered, "Did you copy these engravings from the stele?"

"No!" Ye Qing shook his head.

"No?" Fu Qingping's face changed, urgently saying, "This...such an important item, you didn't copy it? Did you arrive too late, see the stele right before it shattered? So you didn't have time to copy it?"

"No, I've been here for a long time, I've seen all the content on the stele!" Ye Qing replied.

"Then why didn't you copy it?" Fu Qingping was urgent, "This is such important information!"

"Why copy it?" Ye Qing was even more puzzled, not understanding what Fu Qingping meant.

"Without copying it, how can you take it out for translation?" Fu Qingping pointed at the words on the stele fragment, "We need at least to figure out what's written on it!"

"Translation?" Ye Qing was astonished, looking at Fu Qingping, "Why would it need a translation?"

"Is that even a question?" Fu Qingping was even more puzzled than Ye Qing, looking at him, "Without the Taoist Sect to translate it, how can we understand what Guiguzi wrote here?"

"Taoist Incantation!?" Ye Qing's eyes widened in shock, staring at the stele fragment in Fu Qingping's hand, "What...what Taoist Incantation?"

"The Taoist Incantation right on this!" Fu Qingping pointed at the words carved on the stele fragment, "Don't tell me you don't recognize these as Taoist Incantations? You obtained Taoist Incantations left by Ancestor Chen Tuan before, you knew those were Taoist Incantations then; how can you not see that these are as well?"

"These...these are Taoist Incantations?" Ye Qing was dumbfounded, staring at the words on the stele fragment, unable to gather his thoughts for a moment.

The words carved on the stele were actually Taoist Incantations? Yet, when he read them, they looked like ordinary words. How could they be Taoist Incantations?
