Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1499 - 1499: The Precious Map

On the other side, the Earl and the Bishop were defeated by Northern Martial Zen with the Heavenly Deficiency Technique that consumed lifespan, frightening both of them. They thought this move was extremely terrifying, so they dared not linger and fled almost like a race.Actually, the two did not know the limitations of Northern Martial Zen's Heavenly Deficiency Technique. Otherwise, if they lingered nearby for a while and waited for Northern Martial Zen's True Qi to be exhausted, Northern Martial Zen would have no strength to resist at all, and killing him would have been as easy as lifting a finger. But now, they ran away and missed their best chance to kill Northern Martial Zen.

The two led a group of subordinates and ran for more than ten kilometers before stopping. Looking back, Northern Martial Zen did not chase after them, which finally allowed them to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Count Tony, what's going on?" The Bishop looked at the Earl and said solemnly, "Why are you fighting with the Martial Artists from Huaxia? I told you to avoid conflict with these Martial Artists as much as possible!"

The Earl's face was cold, he glanced at the Bishop and said solemnly, "How should I know what's going on? I came over here after receiving the signal from those two people. As soon as I arrived, I found them dead, killed by these people from Huaxia, which is why I went to seek revenge. What? My men were killed by them, can I not avenge them?"

This Earl has always been unconvinced by the Bishop, so he spoke without a pleasant tone.

The Bishop understood the Earl's mindset, he frowned slightly and said, "The Martial Artists of Huaxia would never kill our people for no reason. Those two people must have revealed their identity, which is why they were killed by the Martial Artists of Huaxia. It seems that our enterprise this time is probably exposed, and those Martial Artists from Huaxia might already know about our intrusion!"

"So what?" The Earl said indifferently, "We can just fight them, are we really afraid of them?"

The Bishop gave the Earl a cold look and said solemnly, "Count Tony, I'll say it again, do not underestimate these Martial Artists from Huaxia. The person you just met is not even considered the most powerful Martial Artist in Huaxia. If we really encounter the most powerful ones, we wouldn't stand a chance even if we combine forces!"

If the Bishop had said this before, the Earl would immediately rebut. However, this time, he truly couldn't rebut because he had witnessed the strength of Northern Martial Zen. Especially the power when Northern Martial Zen used the Heavenly Deficiency Technique, which shocked and terrified him. Now, he no longer dared to underestimate the Martial Artists of Huaxia like before!

"Then what do you suggest?" The Earl said solemnly, "If the matter is truly exposed, we can't change it, are we supposed to withdraw from Huaxia because of this? Are you no longer planning to seize the Sun Shooting Bow? Remember, this weapon poses a huge threat to us!"

The Bishop squeezed his brow and slowly nodded, saying solemnly, "I certainly understand the destructive power of this weapon, our people cannot resist it at all. Fortunately, this weapon does not appear for long periods each time, otherwise, we would have been exterminated long ago!"

The Earl's face turned cold, he originally wanted to rebut, but thinking about the strength of Northern Martial Zen, he closed his mouth. Before, he didn't take the Martial Artists of Huaxia seriously, but now he no longer dared to do so, having witnessed their capabilities.

The Bishop remained silent for a while, suddenly looked at the Earl and said, "By the way, where is Baron T Colin? Wasn't he with you? Why isn't he here now?"

Upon hearing this, the Earl slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, I forgot. Tang Kelin went to chase another person. These Martial Artists from Huaxia are very powerful, he... he might have been killed!"

The Bishop's expression changed immediately and urgently said, "Which direction did they go?"

The Earl immediately pointed in the direction the Baron had gone, and the Bishop, without a word, said solemnly, "Let's go, chase immediately!"

The Bishop led several subordinates rushing forward, the Earl hesitated for a moment, but still followed, saying, "Bishop, these Martial Artists from Huaxia are very strong. If we chase like this, we might not be able to rescue Tang Kelin, and we could end up in danger, don't you think..."

"No matter what, we must find Tang Kelin!" The Bishop almost said these words through clenched teeth.

The Earl was greatly surprised, not understanding why the Bishop was so concerned about a mere Baron. But since the Bishop insisted, he did not object, and immediately led a group of subordinates closely following the Bishop.

After running for about forty minutes, the group finally arrived at the place where Ye Qing and the Baron were fighting. The Baron's body had been taken by Ye Qing, but the corpse of one of the men was still lying on the grassland. So, when the Bishop and the Earl arrived, they just saw the man's corpse on the ground.

"Still one step too late!" The Earl took a deep breath and said solemnly, "These Martial Artists from Huaxia are ruthless, killing so many of our people, it's truly hateful!"

The Bishop's face was steely blue, staring at the corpse for a while, and said solemnly, "Baron T Colin is not here, he might not be dead, keep searching!" Thɪs chapter is updated by novel·fiɾe·net

Upon the Bishop's command, several men beside him immediately sniffed around, tracing the remaining scent. Soon, they found the direction Ye Qing had left. Following the scent all the way, they quickly arrived at Stone Mountain.

"Bishop, Baron T Colin's scent is lingering around here, and this spot is the strongest. I believe Baron T Colin must be nearby!" a man said to the Bishop.

In fact, they had already arrived near the cave where Ye Qing buried the Baron's corpse, but since Ye Qing had sealed the cave, the group couldn't see it and naturally had no idea where Baron T Colin's corpse was.

"Search!" the Bishop commanded in a deep voice, "No matter what, we must find Baron T Colin. Alive, we see the person; dead, we see the corpse!"

"Yes!" the group responded in unison, scattering across the Stone Mountain to search for Baron T Colin.

The Bishop stood in place, his face ashen, his eyes flickering with a cold light, leaving one to wonder what he was thinking.

The Earl stood next to the Bishop. Seeing everyone disperse, he couldn't help but say, "Bishop, is it really necessary to make such a big mobilization for a Baron? Since the Huaxia martial artist knows we're here, they might be plotting against us. The longer we stay here, the more dangerous it could be!"

The Bishop remained silent for a moment, about to speak, when suddenly a person rushed over, saying urgently, "Bishop, we have found Lu Lin!"

"What!?" The Earl immediately turned his head and said, "Wasn't he with Tang Kelin? Where is he? What about Tang Kelin?"

The person said, "Lu Lin is hiding on this mountain. He said Tang Kelin... Tang Kelin is already dead..."

"Tang Kelin is dead!?" The Bishop's eyes widened, his face showing an expression of shock as he hurriedly asked, "Where is Lu Lin?"

Just as the man was about to speak, another man approached—one of the two who had come with Tang Kelin to pursue Ye Qing. His name was Lu Lin. Having seen Ye Qing kill the other person and Tang Kelin, he had fled for his life, thus saving himself.

"Lu Lin, what exactly happened?" the Earl asked, looking at him and speaking in a deep voice, "How did Tang Kelin die?"

"Your Lordship, he was killed by that Huaxia martial artist!" Lu Lin immediately recounted the events that had transpired.

After listening to Lu Lin, the Earl's expression turned cold, and he said in a deep voice, "That Huaxia martial artist is truly despicable, using such underhanded means to kill our people. I will not let him go!"

The Earl had originally thought that Ye Qing was very powerful, which is why he was reluctant to continue searching here. After hearing that Ye Qing's strength couldn't even match Tang Kelin's and that he had to resort to sneak attacks to kill Tang Kelin, he suddenly felt energized, eager to kill Ye Qing to vent his grievances.

The Bishop, however, furrowed his brows tightly, looking at the sealed cave. He spoke in a deep voice, "You're saying that the Huaxia martial artist buried Tang Kelin here?"

Lu Lin nodded and said, "Yes, although I didn't dare follow too closely at the time, I saw from afar that he buried the Baron's corpse in this cave and then sealed it!"

The Bishop stared at the sealed cave for a moment and said sternly, "You all, immediately dig open this cave for me!"

"Ah?" The Earl was taken aback, looking at the Bishop in astonishment, "Bishop, this cave is so deep, how long will it take to dig it open? Moreover, the culprit is still on the run; we can't let him get away!"

The Bishop said sternly, "Count Tony, the pursuit of the culprit is up to you. We will stay here to dig out Tang Kelin's corpse. We'll split the tasks; no matter what, we can't let that culprit escape!"

The Earl hesitated for a moment, then nodded in agreement, quickly leading his men to pursue Ye Qing.

Over here, only the Bishop and his men remained. The Bishop's expression turned even grimmer. He gritted his teeth and said, "Immediately open this cave for me! Tang Kelin stole the map we've cherished for a thousand years, and under no circumstances can this map fall into anyone else's hands, understood?"

"Yes!" the nearby men responded in unison and quickly ran over to dig open the cave.

If the Earl had still been here, he would have understood why the Bishop attached so much importance to a mere Baron. It turns out he valued the map that Baron T Colin possessed. Unfortunately, the Bishop did not know that Ye Qing had already taken this map. Otherwise, he certainly wouldn't have been doing futile work here but would have immediately chased after Ye Qing!
