Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 2171 - 2171: Time to Move to a New Place

"However, don't count on the Iga-ryu people to use Huangfu Ziyu to exchange for those elders. If you only mention this, Huangfu Ziyu would be in danger instead; they will use Huangfu Ziyu to force you to hand over those elders!" Wen'er's mother said, "That's why I just asked you to fabricate the story about Heavenly Cluster Clouds. Heavenly Cluster Clouds, is what they truly value. They know you have Heavenly Cluster Clouds, so they really wouldn't dare to harm Huangfu Ziyu, because concerning Heavenly Cluster Clouds, they dare not make the slightest mistake!"Ye Qing suddenly came to a realization, looking at Wen'er's mother with newfound admiration in his eyes. Wen'er's mother not only deeply understands the Iga-ryu but also is resourceful and thoroughly considers matters. Having her assist him this time makes it much easier compared to him trying to rescue Huangfu Ziyu alone. After all, Ye Qing himself doesn't understand the Iga-ryu at all.

"The Iga-ryu people won't exchange Huangfu Ziyu for those elders, but it doesn't mean they don't care about those elders. So, if they know about those elders being here, they will definitely use Huangfu Ziyu to exchange Heavenly Cluster Clouds and those elders!" Wen'er's mother glanced at Ye Qing and said, "And we can make something of this situation!"

Ye Qing and Wen'er's mother exchanged a look, and he basically already understood her intent. She suggested making use of these elders, in plain terms, it means having Ye Qing find people to impersonate these elders to go to the Iga-ryu side. In that way, they can rush to the Iga-ryu side and meet Huangfu Ziyu. In such a situation, rescuing Huangfu Ziyu would be somewhat easier.

However, Ye Qing still had some doubts in his heart. First of all, how to find people to impersonate these elders in such a way that the Iga-ryu people wouldn't realize these elders are fake? Secondly, once these elders are over there, can they actually meet the Sect Master? If they can't meet the Sect Master, it's as if they can't meet Huangfu Ziyu. In this situation, wanting to rescue Huangfu Ziyu would be even more impossible.

Because of these two doubts, Ye Qing was still somewhat unsure about Wen'er's mother's plan. So when Wen'er's mother looked at him, he shook his head and said, "Auntie, how exactly should we proceed?"

Wen'er's mother replied, "The specific execution is rather complicated. First, you must find several masters to impersonate those elders from Iga-ryu. And these masters must be people you trust completely."

"That's not a problem!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "Southern Fist King Shen Tianjun, Helian Tiehua, Bloody Monk, Wolf Monk, these are all my friends who can help me with this matter!"

"With these people helping, it will be much easier." Wen'er's mother nodded slowly, clearly surprised by the mention of these names. These individuals, all peak masters of the current era, even she had heard of their names. And for them to assist Ye Qing in his tasks, is not something ordinary people can achieve.

"Next, they must be disguised, made to look exactly like those elders." Wen'er's mother said.

"Disguised to look exactly alike?" Ye Qing took a deep breath; this was precisely his greatest concern. He had seen others' disguise techniques, but they could only achieve similarity, never exact likeness. If the disguise isn't good and is directly spotted as fake, wouldn't his plan be ruined? This concerns the life and death of Huangfu Ziyu, so Ye Qing naturally cannot afford any negligence.

"I heard that Sai Hua Tuo Baili Xi is here within the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance, his disguise technique is transcendental, almost capable of substituting real for fake. If he helps, then this will be much easier!" Wen'er's mother said.

"Bai Li Xi?" Ye Qing was startled, nearly forgetting this fact. Bai Li Xi's disguise technique is indeed remarkable, Ye Qing had witnessed it before. Now Wen'er's mother also brought him up, which suggests his disguise skills should not be a problem.

"But this Sai Hua Tuo's temperament seems a bit odd; although he resides at the Seven Rudders of Hong Alliance, he may not be willing to help, right?" Wen'er's mother said.

Bai Li Xi's temperament is quirky to others. To Ye Qing, he is always responsive. After all, before leaving, Divine Doctor An Shiping mentioned to have him assist Ye Qing.

Ye Qing waved his hand and said, "That's not a problem at all; Mr. Bai Li will definitely help!"

"That's much better then!" Wen'er's mother nodded and said, "I secretly took photos of those elders before; as long as Mr. Bai Li disguises them according to the photos, there will definitely be no mistake, absolutely incapable of being discerned as fake by the Iga-ryu."

"But even if they successfully impersonate those Iga-ryu elders, they might not necessarily get to meet the Sect Master or Ziyu?" Ye Qing asked, having been pondering this matter all along. If those people go without meeting Huangfu Ziyu, wouldn't it be a waste of effort?

"This matter needs to proceed according to circumstances." Wen'er's mother said, "Actually, it's not difficult; if you don't see Huangfu Ziyu, you just don't hand over Heavenly Cluster Clouds. For the sake of Heavenly Cluster Clouds, they will at least bring Huangfu Ziyu over, allowing you to see her first. Moreover, knowing the personality of these Iga-ryu people, the cost of letting you see Huangfu Ziyu is having you return those elders to them first. Actually, this is a good thing for us."

Ye Qing couldn't help but feel excited; if Wen'er's mother's estimation about the Iga-ryu is accurate, then this is not only about rescuing Huangfu Ziyu but also possibly an opportunity to thoroughly defeat Iga-ryu. Iga-ryu's strongest Elders Council had already all perished within the Tomb of Ghost Valley Master. The one remaining person is the Seventh Elder, whose martial arts had been disabled by Ye Qing. In this situation, if the Iga-ryu Sect Master is also dealt with, then Iga-ryu would indeed be utterly ruined.

"Auntie, your method is excellent; let's proceed as you suggested!" Ye Qing looked gratefully at Wen'er's mother, saying, "By the way, that Seventh Elder is still alive. I initially intended for him to contact the Sect Master of Iga-ryu. But now, it seems unnecessary for him to make that contact. Auntie, please take a seat for now, I'll go and give some instructions, and arrange for the Seventh Elder to be taken care of first."

"Alright!" Wen'er's mother nodded with a slight smile.

Ye Qing got up and left the room. As he reached the door, he saw Wen'er coming over with a small box. Ye Qing greeted Wen'er and hurriedly left. If he wanted to follow the rescue method suggested by Wen'er's mother, they must first detain the Seventh Elder, preventing him from any outside communication. Otherwise, if any information leaked, deceiving those Wo Country's ninjas would be impossible.

"Brother Ye, where are you rushing off to?" As she saw Ye Qing hurriedly leaving, Wen'er shook the small box in her hand and said, "Brother Ye, this is a gift my mom prepared for you, won't you take a look first?"

"I'll check it out later!" Ye Qing didn't have the time to stay; he virtually ran out in haste.

Wen'er naturally didn't know what her mother discussed with Ye Qing, bewilderedly entering the room, she asked curiously, "Mom, why is Brother Ye in such a hurry?"

Wen'er's mother smiled gently and said, "He just remembered something urgent to attend to, so he left first."

"But he hasn't received the gift yet." Wen'er said, "This is a meticulously prepared gift from you!"

Wen'er's mother glanced at the gift on the table with a gentle smile, knowing that the gift wasn't crucial. What mattered was that she had told Ye Qing everything necessary. This gift was merely an excuse to send Wen'er away.

Ye Qing ran all the way to the guesthouse, directly pushing the door open and entering. The Seventh Elder was sitting inside the room, preparing to transcribe the Taoist incantation Ye Qing had given him earlier. Ye Qing's sudden entrance startled him, and his first thought was whether Ye Qing had discovered something.

Seeing the Taoist incantation still on the table, Ye Qing let out a sigh of relief. Since the incantation hadn't been sent out, and the Seventh Elder hadn't yet contacted Iga-ryu, everything remained under control.

Nevertheless, to be safe, Ye Qing decided to ask.

"Seventh Elder, have you contacted the Sect Master of Iga-ryu yet?" Ye Qing asked in a low voice, his expression slightly anxious, as if he were very worried about Huangfu Ziyu, prompting him to urge the Seventh Elder.

"I haven't started contacting him yet," the Seventh Elder answered truthfully. He had planned to finish transcribing the incantation before reaching out to the Iga-ryu branch. However, Ye Qing entered before he could begin.

Ye Qing was relieved; since the Seventh Elder hadn't contacted Iga-ryu, everything was still within controllable limits.

The Seventh Elder, unaware of Ye Qing's thoughts, assumed Ye Qing was urging him, and thus explained, "Contacting the Sect Master isn't an easy task; it takes some time. Besides, with the other elders having perished in the Tomb of the Ghost Valley Master, I at least need to think of an explanation for the Sect Master. Otherwise, he might accuse me of deception and not believe my words!"

This explanation further reassured Ye Qing. He nodded and said, "In that case, Seventh Elder, there's no need for you to contact the Sect Master for now."

"Huh?" The Seventh Elder was taken aback, looking at Ye Qing in surprise, "Why?"

"You'll find out later." Ye Qing smiled gently, walked over, picked up the Taoist incantation from the table, and said to the Seventh Elder, "By the way, Seventh Elder, it seems you need to move to another location?"

"Move? Move where?" The Seventh Elder said as he slowly stood up from the table, feigning a nonchalant demeanor as he slipped his hand into his pocket. Though unaware of Ye Qing's intentions, his intuition told him that the situation had changed.
