Urban Martial Saint

Seeing everyone so eager to follow him to Shenchuan City to help him handle the affairs of the World Alliance, Ye Qing's heart was as clear as a mirror. These people were not heading towards him, but towards Shijia and Fu Qingping, the two masters beyond the pinnacle.

As for Shijia, there's no need to say more. Although he is the number one master of the Buddhist Sect and became famous early, his strength is definitely formidable. However, this person is always like a Divine Dragon seen once and never again, making it extremely difficult to meet him. Even if he has a good relationship with Ye Qing and comes to Shenchuan City to help him, he may not stay long.

What everyone truly cares about is Fu Qingping. This person is Ye Qing's grandmaster, and he is broad-minded and kind. He has just explained the affairs of the realm beyond the peak to everyone, showing he is not one to keep secrets. If people could follow him and work in the World Alliance, they might gain his guidance. You must know, Fu Qingping broke through the shackles of the acme on his own and became a master beyond the peak. With his guidance, people might also break through to the peak. With such an opportunity, how could they be willing to miss it?

After all, they have been reclusive for decades, just to find an opportunity to break through the peak. Previously, they pinned all their hopes on the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, but too many were competing for it, and those who could truly enter were few, and no one had any assurance on this matter. Now, with a glimmer of hope from Fu Qingping, everyone naturally rushed over, definitely not wanting to miss this opportunity. Not to mention those who have already joined the World Alliance, even those who haven't joined are now pondering how to join and stay by Fu Qingping's side.

Seeing everyone's reaction, Ye Qing already understood that when Shijia asked Fu Qingping where he was heading next, it was actually on purpose. He wanted these people to go to Shenchuan City to assist Ye Qing with the World Alliance. Simply put, he wanted to help Ye Qing strengthen the World Alliance. Actually, if it weren't for tonight's events and Shijia's public statements, the World Alliance might have been completely dissolved. After all, the Seven Steering Committees of the Hong Alliance quitting the World Alliance dealt a significant blow to it. Had it not been for Fu Qingping's battle with The Immortal Lord starting at that time, everyone would have likely quit the World Alliance.

Now, with Fu Qingping's victory and Shijia's appearance, the World Alliance has been re-gathered. And Ye Qing, as the Alliance Hierarch, with Fu Qingping's assistance, will no longer be a puppet, and might even gradually grasp significant power within the World Alliance. In other words, what Shijia did was secretly helping Ye Qing, helping him rally the World Alliance and gradually control it. However, Ye Qing felt no joy in his heart because he understood Shijia's character, the bald donkey. For Shijia to help him this little bit, Ye Qing will probably have to repay more in the future. With this bald donkey showing up now, Ye Qing only felt there wouldn't be any good outcome.

However, since it has come to this, a stronger World Alliance is also a good thing for Ye Qing. With chaos imminent in the world, if he could fully grasp the World Alliance, control the Heaven Earth Man Three Gates, preventing them from opening, then the prophecy of Guiguzi wouldn't come true, and there'd be no more chaos. Since entering the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master, the responsibility on Ye Qing's shoulders has become much heavier. The greater the forces he possesses, the more likely he is to bear this responsibility, so Ye Qing will certainly not refuse the World Alliance.

As for the old bald donkey Shijia, Ye Qing had already made up his mind. Even if Shijia does him a favor this time, no matter what Shijia demands, Ye Qing will absolutely ignore it. This old guy is really unreliable, and Ye Qing has been played by him several times, so he definitely doesn't want to fall for it again.

Shijia had no idea what Ye Qing was thinking, and was still discussing World Alliance matters with Fu Qingping. In fact, this was just putting on a show for the heroes of the world to see, making people think he cared deeply about the World Alliance's affairs. This way, more people would pay attention to the World Alliance and be drawn to join.

In such a situation, Aolingyun of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance looked even more displeased. Previously, he obstinately announced the Seven Steering Committees' withdrawal from the World Alliance, intending to prevent Ye Qing from using the title of Alliance Hierarch to suppress him, and also wanting to completely dismantle the World Alliance. But who could have thought the World Alliance would not only not collapse but grow stronger and attract more members. Under such circumstances, the withdrawal of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance from the World Alliance was truly an immensely unwise decision.

Leaving the World Alliance means losing such a powerful ally, which is a fatal mistake for the current Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance. This mistake is entirely due to Aolingyun's actions. If the others in the Seven Steering Committees knew about this, Aolingyun would surely become the great sinner of the Seven Steering Committees.

Aolingyun glanced at Helian Tiehua standing beside him with an equally troubled expression. He wanted to ask Helian Tiehua several times to speak to Ye Qing about rejoining the World Alliance, but his pride prevented him from saying so. So, with a flushed face, he remained silent. The consolation he felt was that the World Alliance was still in Shenchuan City, and Ye Qing lived in the Seven Steering Committees' manor, so he could slowly mend the relationship in the future.

Just then, a voice suddenly sounded among the crowd: "Let's not discuss going to the World Alliance yet. Currently, the World Alliance doesn't even have a place to settle. Going together, apart from not being able to manage current affairs, we might not even find a place to stay, let alone other things."

The crowd turned towards the direction of the voice, spotting a young man, none other than Huangfu Zilong.

Upon hearing this, Aolingyun, along with most of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance, felt a pang in their hearts. They all knew what Huangfu Zilong was going to say, and it was precisely the matter they least wanted to bring up.

"No place to settle? What does that mean?" Shijia asked curiously.

Before Huangfu Zilong could speak, Helian Tiehua interjected directly: "Rest assured, the manor of the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance in Shenchuan City can be entirely vacated for the members of the World Alliance to reside!"

Saying this, Helian Tiehua glanced at Huangfu Ziyu, signaling her to prevent Huangfu Zilong from speaking. He knew what Huangfu Zilong wanted to say and realized that saying it wouldn't be good for the Seven Steering Committees, so he wanted to preemptively stop it.

Huangfu Ziyu was somewhat grateful to Helian Tiehua, but that didn't mean she could tolerate the act of Aolingyun against Ye Qing earlier. She pretended not to see Helian Tiehua's look and said nothing.

Without any hindrance, Huangfu Zilong immediately said: "Uncle Helian, you can't make such a decision regarding the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance right now. The Supreme Elder of the Seven Steering Committees has already emerged, and all decisions have to be made by the Supreme Elder, right? Just now our Supreme Elder used his authority to announce that the Seven Steering Committees have withdrawn from the World Alliance. Moreover, from now on, the Seven Steering Committees shall have no further association with the World Alliance. And no further association should also include living arrangements, shouldn't it?"

These words were spoken with a mocking tone, directly shifting the focus back to Aolingyun. When Aolingyun announced the Seven Steering Committees' withdrawal from the World Alliance earlier, he indeed said these words. Now that it was brought up, everyone was discussing it. Since the Seven Steering Committees had withdrawn from the World Alliance, and had declared no association with it, naturally, the World Alliance wasn't suitable to stay in the Seven Steering Committees' manor anymore.

In fact, these statements by Huangfu Zilong were entirely intentional. He had come along with Ye Qing and others and had just witnessed Aolingyun's attempts to forcefully marry Huangfu Ziyu and deal with Ye Qing upon reaching the mountain, so he was extremely angry with Aolingyun. In reality, while in Humeng City, people of the Huangfu Household also suffered from the Proud Family's bullying, so he harbored animosity towards them. Thus, when everyone was discussing this, he suddenly made such a remark to bring up the following issues, placing all the blame on Aolingyun.

Honestly, upon hearing this, people like Zhou Haoyang and Bai Yonghui glanced at Aolingyun, their eyes filled with some dissatisfaction. You must know that if the World Alliance resided within the Seven Steering Committees, it would serve as a major support for them. If the World Alliance left, then the Seven Steering Committees would lose a significant advantage, which is something no one in the Seven Steering Committees would like to see.

It was due to Aolingyun's obstinate actions that led to this situation. When the World Alliance is at its peak, the Seven Steering Committees instead distanced themselves from it. Who could accept such an outcome?

Helian Tiehua sighed, knowing that trying to salvage the situation was difficult, but did not expect to resolve it in such a public setting. Now it's difficult to take back the water that has spilled out, and retracting Aolingyun's words is not that simple.

Before Helian Tiehua could speak, suddenly, an elder stepped out from the crowd and proclaimed: "If the World Alliance seeks a place to settle, the Xie Family Village can be offered to serve as the World Alliance's headquarters!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd of the Seven Steering Committees almost vomited blood. In such a short time, someone was already vying to provide a base for the World Alliance, and it truly seemed they had suffered a great loss.
