Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1994 - 1994: Acquaintance, Not a Friend

Once everyone left Mount Wendao, the foreigners immediately rented a car and headed directly to the nearest city, planning to take a flight to a coastal city and then sneak out of Huaxia.In fact, for these foreigners alone, leaving Huaxia isn't difficult; they can easily catch a flight out. However, taking Ye Qing with them via regular channels becomes challenging. So, they can only use this indirect method, secretly exiting Huaxia, and once they've done that, returning to the Church will be relatively easy.

Leaving the mountain region, Ye Qing finally learned the location of Mount Wendao, which wasn't far from Mount Duwang, about several hundred kilometers. However, it was quite far from Beimang Mountain, making it tricky to deceive them into going to Beimang Mountain. In reality, they can fly directly to a coastal city from here without passing Beimang Mountain. Going to Beimang Mountain requires a detour, and it won't be easy for Ye Qing to deceive them into taking this detour.

On the way from the small town to the city, Ye Qing kept thinking about how to fool these foreigners into going to Beimang Mountain. However, no matter how hard he thought, he couldn't come up with a good way. As they were about to enter the city, Ye Qing grew more anxious. If he directly goes to the coastal city with them, changing route to Beimang Mountain later will be incredibly difficult.

As they neared the city, the Great Lord seated in front suddenly turned and said, "We're almost at the city; prepare him."

"Prepare what?" Ye Qing hadn't yet reacted, but two people already pinned him down. Another elderly man approached, took out fake beards and wigs, and started applying them to Ye Qing's face.

Ye Qing realized that by "prepare," they meant to disguise him. This way, even if they run into someone familiar, the person wouldn't recognize him, avoiding a lot of trouble. Indeed, these foreigners were incredibly cautious. Ye Qing had never been to this city, so how could he possibly run into someone familiar here?

Knowing he couldn't resist, Ye Qing allowed them to mess with his face. The foreigners didn't understand the Art of Easy Melting; they merely used facial hair to cover most of his face, yet the effect was satisfactory. Even Ye Qing, looking in a mirror, almost couldn't recognize himself.

Once Ye Qing was disguised, they confidently entered the city. They didn't linger in the city but drove straight to the airport, intending to leave directly from there.

Arriving at the airport, they didn't directly board the plane but first sent two people to buy tickets. As for Ye Qing, they had already prepared fake documents for him to purchase a ticket. Buying the tickets went smoothly, and now they just had to wait for the flight.

Worried about being discovered, the foreigners didn't wait at the airport; they stayed in the car until the plane was ready to take off and only then planned to take Ye Qing through security to board.

Ye Qing sat in the car, seeing how cautious and meticulous they were, he was speechless. Even with incredible luck, running into someone familiar in a city he'd never visited was highly improbable. Besides, even if he did meet someone familiar, recognizing him wasn't guaranteed, and moreover, familiar faces weren't necessarily opponents of the Church's people; they wouldn't be able to save him.

After waiting for about three hours in the car, it was finally time to board. Only then did the Church members take Ye Qing out and head towards security. Due to their unfamiliarity with the area, they parked at the passenger exit below. As they got out and prepared to go upstairs through security, they coincidentally encountered passengers from a flight leaving from the exit, which made the Church members highly nervous.

The two people closely following Ye Qing grabbed him directly, and one whispered in Ye Qing's ear, "Don't act recklessly. These people and airport security can't hurt us. Any rash moves will only harm the innocent and won't save your life!"

Ye Qing shrugged, not bothering to respond. As he followed them, he was still contemplating how to lead them to Beimang Mountain. Nonetheless, just as they were about to pass through the exit, Ye Qing suddenly saw several familiar faces among the crowd!

Ye Qing clearly saw that the three elderly men emerging from the passenger exit were Snake Gentleman, Slaughter Venerable, Executioner Scholar. Behind them was a one-armed man, none other than Sky-Killing Master!

These people couldn't be considered Ye Qing's acquaintances, nor his friends; they were merely his enemies. Among them, Sky-Killing Master, Slaughter Venerable, and Executioner Scholar were known as the Three Great Villains. Adding Snake Gentleman, they formed the Four Great Villains. Previously in Shenchuan City, they had tried capturing Ye Qing, forcing him to hand over the Buddha's Relic. Later, they were defeated by Helian Tiehua, Bloody Monk, and Fu Qingping, resulting in Sky-Killing Master losing an arm. Afterwards, fearing further confrontation in Shenchuan City, they went to assault Huangfu Ziyu, nearly leading to her death. If not for Purple Robe Lama's timely rescue, Huangfu Ziyu would have perished.

Who would've thought Ye Qing would run into these four here again? Instead of feeling hatred seeing these enemies, Ye Qing felt unexpectedly excited. What a godsend opportunity to meet them here — how lucky could he be?

Honestly, running into someone like Fu Qingping wouldn't have made Ye Qing happy, but these four encountered here made him feel extraordinarily fortunate. After all, the Church's ten Peak Masters were formidable. Ye Qing's friends would undoubtedly fight with the Church members to rescue him, but they'd likely suffer losses. Meeting the Four Great Villains here, Ye Qing didn't have to worry — it didn't matter to him if they died.

Moreover, these people were extremely covetous of the Buddha's Relic Ye Qing possessed, always looking to capture him and seize the relic. This meeting provided Ye Qing with a chance. If the Snake Gentleman and his group realized Ye Qing was here, they'd certainly try to capture him, clashing with the Church members in the process. Meanwhile, Ye Qing could watch the chaos unfold, and if everyone was mutually wounded, it'd be perfect for sneaking away.

While contemplating, these four emerged from the exit. They were all Peak Masters, with Executioner Scholar being the standout among them, his Six Senses much sharper than ordinary people. As they drew near, he sensed the Church's power and became wary. He turned his head, scanning the Church members, before finally fixing his gaze on Ye Qing, seemingly puzzled, likely trying to discern Ye Qing's identity.

Executioner Scholar and his group had seen Ye Qing before, but now Ye Qing's face was mostly concealed. Recognizing him under this disguise wasn't easy for Executioner Scholar. However, the uncovered portion of Ye Qing's face looked familiar, causing Executioner Scholar to ponder.

Feeling the Church members' strength, Executioner Scholar's group certainly felt pressured, just as the Church members were tense sensing their power. The Great Lord knitted his brow, focusing on Executioner Scholar, knowing well he was the strongest among the four.

Both parties scrutinized each other at the exit, neither moving, each assessing the other. While impressed by the opponent's strength, internally, they remained cautious, hoping to avoid conflict to prevent unnecessary trouble.

Ye Qing observed Executioner Scholar's gaze and knew they were reluctant to confront the Church members. If he didn't prompt them, Executioner Scholar's group would likely leave immediately. Missed opportunities are rare, and if he let this pass, who knew when such a chance would arise again? Thus, without hesitation, Ye Qing shouted, "Executioner Scholar, long time no see!"

The Church members were taken aback, never expecting Ye Qing to know these four, even less for Ye Qing to suddenly speak. Shocked, they reacted too late as Executioner Scholar locked his gaze on Ye Qing.

"You're Ye Qing!" Executioner Scholar shouted, already finding Ye Qing's appearance familiar but suddenly placing it after hearing his voice, leaving no doubt about his identity!

Hearing Executioner Scholar call Ye Qing's name, the Great Lord inwardly cursed, yelling, "Retreat!"

"Retreat?" The Church members were puzzled, as the plane was about to take off — why retreat now? If they boarded, how could this group of four chase them?

Ye Qing alone understood the Great Lord's decisiveness, admiring his wisdom. The Great Lord truly deserved his leadership role, displaying his astuteness. Under these circumstances, boarding the plane would be the worst decision; fixed flights meant Executioner Scholar's group could easily find out their destination and notify others. They wouldn't even land before Huaxia's martial artists surrounded the airport — trying to flee by plane was basically suicidal.
