Urban Martial Saint

In the astonished eyes of everyone, Shijia's palm still landed on the head of the Bloody Monk. However, an amazing scene unfolded.

When Shijia's palm struck down, everyone thought that even if the Bloody Monk didn't die, he would be seriously injured. But in fact, after his palm landed on the Bloody Monk's head, the Bloody Monk not only showed no signs of injury, but his body actually began to rise slightly! He rose up slightly from the ground!

"What's... what's going on?" the Wolf Monk watching from afar couldn't help but shout in surprise. This palm landed without causing any harm, which was already unexpected, but why did the Bloody Monk rise up a bit? What was going on?

Ye Qing was also full of astonishment as he looked at the Reincarnated True Buddha beside him. Seeing the Reincarnated True Buddha's calm expression, he knew the Bloody Monk was surely fine, so he breathed a sigh of relief and didn't ask any more questions.

"Yes, that's it!" Shijia was overjoyed and continued to pat the top of the Bloody Monk's head repeatedly. With each pat, the Bloody Monk rose a bit. This continued for over twenty minutes until the Bloody Monk slowly ascended from the cave, returning to the surface.

This scene left everyone deeply shocked, as they had not seen the Bloody Monk make the slightest movement. How exactly did he rise?

With one last slap on the Bloody Monk's body, the Bloody Monk finally opened his eyes, as if awakening from a great dream. However, a glint of golden light flashed through his eyes, much like the golden light that Ye Qing had seen from the Buddha's Relic before.

"Mission accomplished!" Shijia clapped his hands and said, "Young man, you have good insight. You have finally grasped the Vajra Indestructible Body. It seems, my Buddhist Sect will have another beyond peerless master!"

Upon hearing this, everyone around was shaken. According to Shijia, the Bloody Monk was about to break through the pinnacle barrier. This was a major event, knowing that current beyond peerless masters were very few. If the Bloody Monk broke through the pinnacle barrier, the structure of the world would change again.

Ye Qing was extremely excited inside, if the Bloody Monk also broke through the pinnacle barrier, then he would gain another beyond peerless master. Added with Fu Qingping, that would make two beyond peerless masters, enough to awe the world. And the entire World Alliance would become stronger because of these two beyond peerless masters. At the very least, those peak masters below would have to honestly stay in the World Alliance and work.

Of course, Shijia was also considered a beyond peerless master in the World Alliance. However, he was unreliable, and Ye Qing never counted him among them.

The Bloody Monk did not speak. He still held his hands together in contemplation, as if silently pondering his insights. After a while, he finally lowered his hands and looked at Shijia standing in front of him, saying, "Senior brother, even though you passed on the Vajra Indestructible Body to me, it was a voluntary act of yours. I didn't force you. If you want to use this to force me not to kill people, it's impossible!"

"I know, and I didn't plan to use this to threaten you either," Shijia waved his hand, looked at the white-haired Ding San in the distance, and laughed: "Don't forget, there is still a wager between us."

"I remember!" The Bloody Monk glanced at the white-haired Ding San and said coldly, "You want to gamble with me on human nature versus demonic nature, that's fine. If there's anyone left in this world that the white-haired Ding San won't kill, then I will concede!"

"I like your character!" Shijia laughed heartily and said, "Don't worry, the result of our bet will be out soon enough."

"I'll wait for you!" the Bloody Monk responded coldly while glancing at the white-haired Ding San. In his view, the white-haired Ding San was now just a killing machine. At a word from the Bloody Monk, the white-haired Ding San would even kill him. That's because the white-haired Ding San was now completely controlled by a murderous demonic nature, like a wild beast. So, the Bloody Monk was confident he wouldn't lose the bet.

Shijia chuckled, then turned to look at Ye Qing and asked, "Young Ye, coming to find me so early in the morning, what exactly do you want?"

"It's about what you mentioned last time..." Ye Qing looked at Shijia and said, "I thought about it all night and felt that your offer wasn't enough. So, I want you to give me more information!"

"What do you mean by this? Are you trying to raise the price?" Shijia was immediately displeased and said, "We've already agreed back then, besides, there's no danger in what I'm asking you to do, why do you need more?"

Ye Qing immediately said, "If you're not willing, you can find someone else to help you with this task!"

Ye Qing was confident that in this world, aside from himself, there wasn't anyone who could safely lead Shijia in and out of the Demon Hideout Cave. That's why he was so calm, because Shijia had no other way out except him.

Shijia was instantly exasperated: "You brat, how can you not keep your word?"

Ye Qing retorted, "It's better than being lied to by you several times!"

"You... you..." Shijia pointed at Ye Qing, speechless for a long time, because he had indeed tricked Ye Qing several times in the past.

"Alliance Leader Ye, if you're looking to him for information about the Sword Saint Sect, I advise you not to ask." At this moment, the Reincarnated True Buddha beside Ye Qing suddenly spoke.

"Ah?" Ye Qing was taken aback. He had indeed come to Shijia this time to seek information about the Sword Saint Sect. The Sword Saint Sect was very mysterious, and even Fu Qingping knew very little about it. However, the Sword Saint Sect might become a major enemy in the future, so Ye Qing intended to first understand the Sword Saint Sect's background. Shijia had lived for centuries and surely knew many secrets. Ye Qing hoped to inquire about the Sword Saint Sect from him. But before he showed any sign of his intentions, the Reincarnated True Buddha had already guessed he wanted to ask about the Sword Saint Sect? The Reincarnated True Buddha was truly formidable!

"You're asking about the Sword Saint Sect?" Shijia also widened his eyes and said, "I don't know anything about the Sword Saint Sect, don't ask me!"

Ye Qing glared and said, "Are you kidding? You've lived for over two hundred years and are the greatest master of the current Buddhist Sect, how can you not know about the Sword Saint Sect?"

Shijia said, "Don't make random guesses, the True Buddha has also advised you not to ask. If you don't believe my words, surely you can't disbelieve the True Buddha's words?"

Ye Qing looked at the Reincarnated True Buddha beside him. Shijia's words were indeed unbelievable, but if the True Buddha said it, it had to be believed. Because of the True Buddha's credibility and he wouldn't lie. However, the True Buddha only advised him not to ask, not that Shijia didn't know. This meant that Shijia probably knew about the Sword Saint Sect but wasn't saying for some reason. But why was that?

Ye Qing was puzzled and very much wanted to ask Shijia clearly. But since the True Buddha had already spoken, further questioning was pointless, so the matter was dropped for now.

Later, the True Buddha conducted a sermon in the courtyard, and many came to listen. Many of the experts who had joined the World Alliance practiced martial arts rooted in the Buddhist Sect. Listening to the True Buddha's sermon could deepen their understanding of their martial arts, enhancing their skills.

Ye Qing didn't linger in the manor. Since he couldn't get the information he wanted from Shijia, he went out to handle other matters. Ding Lianshun had contacted Ye Qing last night, saying that the Twelve Green Halls were expected to arrive in Shenchuan City this afternoon. Ye Qing had to arrange accommodations for the Twelve Green Halls.

In fact, Li Lianshan had already arranged it, in another manor in Shenchuan City. This manor, together with the World Alliance's manor and the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance's manor, formed a tripartite structure. This way, even if the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance and the Twelve Green Halls fought, it wouldn't affect Ye Qing's World Alliance. Ye Qing's planning was indeed meticulous.

To show due respect to the people from the Twelve Green Halls, Ye Qing personally went to inspect the manor. The decorations here were similar to those in the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance's manor, so the Twelve Green Halls wouldn't feel unfairly treated.

After everything was ready, at 3 PM, the people from the Twelve Green Halls arrived on time in Shenchuan City. Of course, the first to arrive were only the advance teams. Including Ding Lianshun Yin Xianzi and a few experts from the Human Fourth Hall of Twelve Green Halls, who occupied this manor. This meant that the influence of the Twelve Green Halls had also penetrated Shenchuan City. Now, the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance and the Twelve Green Halls were poised to face off here. All of this had nothing to do with Ye Qing's World Alliance.

Ding Lianshun Yin Xianzi was extremely satisfied with Ye Qing's arrangements. Their relationship with Ye Qing was very good, and in the evening, Ye Qing hosted a banquet here to receive people from the Twelve Green Halls, being very busy indeed.

On the other side, the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance appeared more desolate. The entry of the Twelve Green Halls made the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance feel more threatened and had to be more vigilant towards the Twelve Green Halls. So, the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance were now busier than before.

After entertaining the people from the Twelve Green Halls, it was already late at night when Ye Qing returned to the World Alliance. The main building of the World Alliance was still brightly lit. As Ye Qing walked in, he saw Fu Qingping, Shen Tianjun, and the Wolf Monk sitting inside the main building.

They were discussing the affairs of the World Alliance, since, though the World Alliance was established, most people were there for Fu Qingping and Shijia. How many people truly cared about the World Alliance's well-being? Even though Ye Qing was the alliance leader, he couldn't command many people. To put it bluntly, if a real powerful threat to the World Alliance emerged, it might quickly fall apart.
