Chapter 131 - 18: The Abducted Women! The Young Overlord of the Divine Spear (Part 3)

Qu Yinghua wasn’t surprised at all when he saw this scene.

Instead, he came over to Ye Liuyun, looking curious.

"You look even younger than me, yet you’re already an Innate Martial Artist. How did you do it?"

Qu Yinghua always thought he was a genius himself.

So young, yet already a Postnatal Martial Artist—even his father had praised his cultivation talent.

But he hadn’t expected that another freak would pop up now.

"Do you have some kind of secret technique?"

Qu Yinghua was really curious.

"There’s no shortcut to training, it’s just one step at a time. I’m just more talented, so I cultivate a bit faster. If you’ve got the talent, you can do it too!"

,,

Nice explanation. Next time, don’t explain like that, okay?

Qu Yinghua’s face instantly turned speechless.

If I wasn’t weaker than you, I’d really want to start a fight right now.

"Oh, right!"

At that moment, Ye Liuyun suddenly remembered something Qu Yinghua had said at the beginning.

"Earlier, you said someone pretended to be from the Brahma Sect and kidnapped women—is that true?"

"Yeah!"

Qu Yinghua didn’t think much and answered directly.

"I saw it with my own eyes. They tied up a bunch of women, looked like they were going somewhere. You think I’d let that slide? I charged in with my spear right away!"

That’s just youthful hot-bloodedness.

Seeing a scene like that, there was no way Qu Yinghua’s hero heart would just sit by and watch.

And the result was simple too.

Qu Yinghua actually managed to save those women.

"Those people are gutsy, actually daring to dress up like the Brahma Sect—not worried about revenge or what?"

Although there are many sects in the Fourteen States of the World,

only a handful can be called top-tier, and the Brahma Sect is one of them.

The Brahma Sect’s holy ground isn’t in the Great Qian Dynasty, it’s actually pretty far away.

But there’s a saying in the martial world: ’All temples under heaven belong to Brahma Sect.’

The Brahma Sect has temples in many places throughout the Fourteen States of the World. There may not be many powerful Martial Artists in these temples, but out of respect for the Brahma Sect, nobody dares casually offend them.

So it’s not unreasonable for Qu Yinghua to find this all so odd.

In this world,

there really aren’t many who dare dress up as Brahma Sect disciples and go do dirty deeds.

So,

"How can you be sure those people dressed as Brahma Sect weren’t the real deal?"

"Huh?"

Qu Yinghua was stunned, clearly hadn’t expected Ye Liuyun to ask that.

"What else could it be?"

He shrugged.

Like, what—if not fake, could they be real?

"Uh, careful what you say, man."

This guy’s not imagining some wild stuff, right? Qu Yinghua quickly replied.

"And when they fought, none of them used Brahma Sect martial arts. I don’t know what style it was, but those techniques were way too murderous—definitely cultivation techniques that go against the righteous path."

Brahma Sect is a famous orthodox sect in the world.

Their disciples wouldn’t be cultivating those bloodthirsty techniques.

,,

Ye Liuyun didn’t reply, and seemed to accept the explanation.

But—

Ye Liuyun believed in ’seeing is believing, hearing is doubting’ even more.

Some things, unless he saw with his own eyes, Ye Liuyun wouldn’t jump to conclusions.

"Whew!"

Qu Yinghua had no idea what Ye Liuyun was actually thinking.

He just saw Ye Liuyun’s face return to normal, and felt relieved inside.

The Brahma Sect cared a lot about its reputation—if word got out that people were smearing the Brahma Sect’s name, the sect would definitely strike back.

Qu Yinghua was just youthful and impulsive, not truly stupid.

If you really pissed off the Brahma Sect—

Even with his father stepping in, he might not be able to save him.

Grandmaster?

The Brahma Sect has four Grandmasters out in the open.

How do you think the Brahma Sect ended up as one of the top sects in the Fourteen States of the World? It’s all about strength.

,,,

Soon enough,

Si Nan and Shi Sheng returned with their investigators.

Their faces were grim as they nodded to Ye Liuyun.

Clearly, what they’d uncovered matched Qu Yinghua’s story—most of the dead were men, and all the young women had vanished.

And they definitely didn’t believe—

that there hadn’t been any young women living in this village in the first place.

"Looks like those bastards aren’t satisfied with just Nanmu City anymore."

The missing women before had all come from Nanmu City.

But now,

it’s not just Nanmu City—even surrounding areas have started having young women snatched away.

So then, what’s their goal?

Ye Liuyun skipped the chit-chat, and got straight to the point.

"Pass the word down—we’re traveling through the night to Nanmu City, everyone gets to rest only after we arrive!"

The plan had been to rest for the night before heading to Nanmu City tomorrow.

But now it was clear—they’d better get there first before resting.

"Understood!"

Shi Sheng and Si Nan both realized how dire the situation was, and nodded right away.

The Embroidered Uniform Guard behind them didn’t object either—Ye Liuyun’s style gives these guys full confidence.

Forget a single night, even if they went several nights without rest, nobody would complain.

This was the perfect moment—

Ye Liuyun turned to look at Qu Yinghua in front of him.

"You came because you heard about women being kidnapped in Nanmu City, right?"

"Of course! Wherever there’s injustice, you’ll find me, the Little Overlord with the Divine Spear—how could I miss out on something like this?"

Qu Yinghua didn’t deny it.

He’d come just for this reason.

"Want to join me?"

Hot-blooded, a bit anime-obsessed, but the Postnatal strength isn’t bad.

Qu Yinghua thought it over for a moment,

then shook his head decisively.

"No way, I’m a jianghu hero—I can’t fight alongside people from the imperial court. I’ll save those women my own way!"
