Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 2299 - 2299: Summoning Fat Wang

Seeing the surprised look on Ye Qing's face, Old Wang Ba chuckled and said, "No reason, it's fate, just listen to me."

Ye Qing looked at Old Wang Ba in confusion, not really understanding what he meant. However, Old Wang Ba's fortune-telling ability was indeed strong, Ye Qing couldn't deny that. Since he recommended bringing along Fat Wang, there must be a reason. Besides, Shijia also mentioned to consult Old Wang Ba, which showed that Shijia believed Old Wang Ba could help him. Thinking about it this way, having Fat Wang along should indeed be beneficial for him!

Finding Fat Wang wasn't an easy task. This guy was a tomb raider, spending most of his time in ancient tombs deep in the mountains, busy with tomb-robbing activities. Moreover, his whereabouts were erratic, and no one knew where to find him.

However, it was somewhat easier because Ye Qing had Fat Wang's phone number. So, contacting him was a bit more manageable. After making a call, Fat Wang arrived in Shenchuan City the next morning.

After over a month without seeing him, Fat Wang had become even more robust. This guy somehow found a denim outfit to wear, making him look even rounder. He carried a backpack full of tools for tomb-robbing. According to Fat Wang, these were his tools for making a living, essential for eating and sleeping.

Ye Qing and Fat Wang were like brothers; from initial hostility to saving each other's lives a few times, their relationship had become very deep. That's why a single call from Ye Qing was enough to summon Fat Wang to Shenchuan City.

Following Ye Qing into the World Alliance, Fat Wang couldn't help but be amazed by the vast manor. Once inside the main building with Ye Qing, Fat Wang stopped being amazed and seriously said to Ye Qing, "Young Ye, what's the occasion for calling the Fat Lord here? Let me tell you, the Fat Lord recently located a Great General's tomb. I was about to start the operation, but you called me away. Do you know how much I'm losing because of this?"

"Come on, that Great General's tomb isn't going anywhere, it's still yours when you return, what are you in a hurry for?" Ye Qing smirked and said, "I have a more crucial ancient tomb for you to check out, and the stuff inside is definitely more valuable than what's in that Great General's tomb!"

Fat Wang widened his eyes and said, "Young Ye, it's not that I don't believe you, but honestly, every time I go into a tomb with you, nothing good comes of it. Not to mention, every single tomb we've been in, have we ever not encountered life-threatening dangers? Especially those Tomb Guardian Beasts, the Fat Lord here has hardly ever seen any Tomb Guardian Beasts, but whenever I go into tombs with you, I surely encounter them, are you a Broom Star or what?"

Ye Qing coughed a few times. In fact, it wasn't that Fat Wang saw Tomb Guardian Beasts only when he went into tombs with him, but that Ye Qing encountered them every time he went into a tomb. Ye Qing himself was also at a loss as to why every tomb he entered was so dangerous?

Actually, thinking about it, it was quite normal. The tombs Ye Qing had visited belonged to the most top-notch figures of their eras. If the mechanisms inside weren't extraordinary, that would truly be strange.

Ye Qing said, "Alright, enough with the chatter. Here's the map of the tomb, take a look. Also, arrange the personnel you need. As for funding, I'll have it sorted for you!"

Upon hearing this, Fat Wang instantly perked up and said, "You should have mentioned ample funds earlier, rest assured about the personnel, I'll arrange them to your satisfaction."

Fat Wang said this and took the map from Ye Qing's hands. After looking at it for a while, he widened his eyes and said, "Hey, Young Ye, what the heck is this you gave me? It doesn't look like a tomb at all?"

"What does it look like then?" Ye Qing asked curiously. Not being knowledgeable about the map, he naturally couldn't discern what it depicted.

"This... this is just a map of a mountain?" Fat Wang laid the map on the table and pointed at it, saying, "Look, this is a mountain path. Follow the direction of this arrow, and you'll reach a certain point in the mountain. And this place should be where we're looking for. If this really is a tomb, then your map only marks the location of this tomb, not the map inside the tomb. The true situation inside the tomb can only be known by exploring within!"

"Really?" Ye Qing looked at the map in surprise. He didn't understand this stuff at all. But after Fat Wang's explanation, he indeed noticed some clues. The map seemed like it depicted a mountain, so what was going on here? Could it be that Shijia was just looking for something on the mountain? But why hasn't he returned? Could he have encountered some danger?

This thought made Ye Qing somewhat worried. Shijia was a beyond peerless master, with a Vajra Indestructible Body, invincible under the heavens, incapable of being harmed. If even he encountered danger, then the situation could be troublesome. Could he save him with just the few people he was bringing?

Although he was worried and confused, Ye Qing couldn't stand idly by. Since Shijia and Old Wang Ba both said to go look for him, there must be a reason. Shijia had said not to bring strong masters, so Ye Qing didn't bring any along. He only had Handsome Fatty Wang arrange some people. Although the map didn't mark an ancient tomb, in the woods, it's always better to bring more people. Furthermore, Fat Wang and his people often worked in the mountains; they had more experience finding people there.

By the third day, Fat Wang had arranged the personnel. He had many friends in this regard. Plus, since Ye Qing offered a high reward, naturally many people showed up.

Ye Qing, after saying goodbye to Huangfu Ziyu and everyone at the World Alliance, took a plane straight to Xiliang Mountain. Ye Qing hadn't told everyone about his mission to find Shijia. For one, he didn't want news of Shijia's disappearance to leak, causing chaos. For another, he didn't want Huangfu Ziyu and others to worry about him, considering this trip might be dangerous.

The plane was arranged by the Twelve Green Halls, both the Seven Rudders of the Hong Alliance and the Twelve Green Halls had their personal planes, Ye Qing didn't have such equipment.

Sitting on the plane, Fat Wang and the others seemed incredibly excited. It's no wonder, it was their first time taking a private jet while earning a salary to go grave robbing. Since when did grave robbing become such a glorious profession?

At the back of the cabin was a curled-up person, tightly gripping the seat, trembling all over. This person was none other than Old Chen.

Originally, after Fat Wang had arranged everything, on the morning of departure, as Ye Qing was having breakfast, Old Chen nagged him a few times. In a fit of irritation, Ye Qing suddenly decided to bring Old Chen along. Ye Qing still hadn't figured out Old Chen's identity, but the old man had gained ten pounds during his time at the World Alliance. But his nagging intensified. Unable to bear it, Ye Qing decided to bring the old man along. In fact, Ye Qing also had a plan; this time's unknown crisis might reveal if Old Chen had any special skills. After all, his previous access to the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master before Ye Qing and the others was suspicious.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Old Chen boarded the plane, he turned cowardly, unable to sit still and curled up in the corner, trembling with fear.

Seeing Old Chen like this, Fat Wang looked disdainful, saying to Ye Qing, "Young Ye, is this the old naggy mouth from last time? Didn't he act tough before? Why does he look scared like a grandson now?"

Back when Ye Qing and others were brought out of the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master by Fat Wang and his men, Fat Wang had met Old Chen. The two argued a lot during their journey, and Fat Wang was quite aggravated by Old Chen. Had it not been for Old Chen's age, a fight might have broken out last time. Even so, when Fat Wang saw Old Chen again, he was quite annoyed. Now, seeing Old Chen trembling with fear, Fat Wang felt quite pleased, unbuckling his seatbelt to walk around near Old Chen, showing he feared nothing.

"You're the grandson, your whole family are grandsons!" Although Old Chen was trembling with fear, he didn't back down verbally and snapped back before Ye Qing could say anything.

"Oh, you haven't fainted yet?" Fat Wang laughed heartily, walked over and kicked Old Chen's butt, saying, "Old naggy mouth, come on, stand up and let's chat."

"Why... why should I stand up?" Old Chen hugged the backrest tightly, refusing to stand, not even turning his head.

"You're not a grandson, right? Come on, don't be scared, stand up and chat with me." Fat Wang said, kicking Old Chen's butt again.

Old Chen got anxious and said, "Damn it, fatso, aren't you done? Don't you know to respect the old and cherish the young? I'm... I'm just airsick! When have I ever been scared? What, a person can't be airsick now?"

Fat Wang said, "Then why haven't you puked from airsickness? And who shakes like this from airsickness? Old naggy mouth, if you're scared just admit it, don't make it sound grand, airsickness? The plane's flying smoothly, who are you fooling with the airsickness act?"

Their bickering continued, while Ye Qing quietly watched them, his thoughts mostly on the situation at Xiliang Mountain. Before coming, he had already learned something about Xiliang Mountain. The most critical point was that Xiliang Mountain could be called a no-man's land!
