Chapter 404: Killing Intent Filled the Sky at the Kunlun Border!
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko nodded lightly, showing her fair cleavage.
“Speak after you put on some clothes!” Ye Chen frowned just when Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko was going to speak. When he waved, the clothes on the ground automatically shrouded her body.
He did not have the habit of speaking to someone naked.
Surprise flashed through Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko’s eyes.
She was known as one of the three beauties in Osaka, j.a.pan. Countless people wanted to own her, but they dared not due to her family background and her powerful abilities. Therefore, she was great no matter whether it was her looks or her body. However, Ye Chen had not been moved from the beginning until now.
She was rather disappointed apart from feeling surprised. She dared not hesitate as she said immediately, “Master, the Ghost-sealing Talisman is our j.a.panese Yin Yang Master’s technique. It can seal ghosts in the talisman and use it upon enemies. Meanwhile, ghosts are called s.h.i.+kigami or wraiths in j.a.pan.”
Ye Chen secretly nodded.
To put it simply, it was a ghost. Different regions just had different names for it. It could be called a spirit, sinister G.o.d, or soul.
He had once seen a comedy before that claimed that the Africans were fearless of Sadako. The reason being was that Africans had no concept of Sadako, thus it was a figurative object to them.
“Master, it must be the people from the Kusakabe clan who cast this Ghost-sealing Talisman on me,” Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko said. Now, she finally understood why the Kusakabe clan left right after they gave her the order. They were foolish to not have reminded her not to spill it to anyone. It was because they had cast the talisman on her!
Resentment flashed through her eyes as she thought to this point.
‘I risked my life and gave everything to fight for you guys. I can’t believe that you don’t believe me, and even attempted to kill me! Haha, my dear cousin, Chiba Aoki, I’m pretty sure you’re a part of this!
“You’re pretty wise!” Ye Chen had a cynical expression on his face. “You should be grateful that this soul isn’t powerful. If you met one that has great resentment, your yang energy would’ve been sucked until you’re dead. Your body might even be possessed!”
On the side, Miyamoto Take could not help but say, “The s.h.i.+kigami in that Ghost-sealing Talisman must’ve been an ordinary wraith. If it was a Sadako, Ms. Chiba would definitely have been killed!”
During World War II, America detonated two atomic bombs in j.a.pan, killing tens of thousands of people. Although it had been decades since it happened, the two locations were still barren with yin energy lingering. It was a living h.e.l.l on earth before Yin Yang Masters retrieved all those souls.
“Sadako?” Ye Chen smiled in disdain. “I suppose Sadako, Ouija Board, and the paper-and-pencil game are all you guys know about!”
To put it simply, Sadako, Ouija Board, and the paper-and-pencil game were child’s play when it came to the topic of ghosts. The truly powerful one would be the Ghost Immortal from the Orient.
The Ghost Immortal was not an immortal but a product of consciousness with yin energy cultivated within it. It was known as one of the five immortals in Taoism. They could travel around as a soul and even reincarnate by taking over someone else’s body.
Plop!
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko knelt onto the ground again. “Master, I, Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko, will be yours from now on. No matter what request you might have, I’ll do it!”
If she only yielded so that Ye Chen would spare her life before, she was now willing to make him her master whole-heartedly.
Although she was a lady, she had experienced so much chaos before. She had even taken over a big family. Based on her level of maturity, she knew very well that neither the Kusakabe clan nor the Chiba family would forgive her.
One could say that Ye Chen was the only person who could protect her in the entire world. Meanwhile, since he had killed five powerhouses on the world leaderboard consecutively, naturally, his ability made her yield.
“Congratulations, your life has been spared!”
How would Ye Chen not know what she was thinking about? He said wryly, “I want you to return to j.a.pan to find out where the remaining foreign fragments are. Especially the biggest piece, I want to know where exactly it is!”
The Night Demon possessed the biggest fragment, thus it would most probably be hidden for secret studies. It would be difficult for Ye Chen to find it himself. Moreover, he did not have the time to travel at the moment. Therefore, he spared Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko’s life.
“But…” Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko was hesitating.
“I know what you’re worried about. Don’t worry. Since you’re useful to me, naturally, I won’t let you die easily!”
Ye Chen seemed to have understand what she was thinking about. He waved, and ten foreign fragments appeared before him. “Take these. I suppose I don’t have to tell you what to do next?”
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko nodded lightly.
Ye Chen wanted her to pretend that she was returning to j.a.pan after completing her mission. He wanted her to convince the Kusakabe clan and be a spy for him.
He looked at Miyamoto Take who was aside as he was done speaking. “I suppose I don’t have to tell you what you’re going to do?”
“Master, I’m willing to make you my master. At the same time, I’ll guarantee Ms. Chiba’s safety secretly!” Miyamoto Take bowed.
“Give me both of your soul blood!” Ye Chen smiled lightly and put away their soul blood. He now had their lives in his hands.
…
At the same time at the Kunlun Mountains border, an old man in Taoist robes sat with his legs crossed on top of a mountain. He looked focused. If one were to look closer, they would notice that the clouds around were gathering toward him as if they were rus.h.i.+ng to go somewhere.
The old man breathed in all of those clouds.
Meanwhile, he set up eight diagrams around him, and the clouds that gathered around consolidated into a giant icon as they touched the eight diagrams.
It looked like a majestic lion!
The aura of the old man was growing whereas the suppression that he was exuding faintly seemed to be a little too much for the mountain beneath him to withstand.
“Tiannan is going to break through!” Meanwhile, an old man in black robes sitting next to the old man looked at him with his eyes brightly lit up. He seemed to be envious.
People only knew about Dao Entry and Illuminating G.o.d for Spell Masters. They had no idea that there was a level above Illuminating G.o.d, which was Origin Energy!
Origin Energy!
It was a combination of vitality and qi.
As soon as one entered Origin Energy, they would be as compelling as G.o.ds. They could stir up rivers, make oceans flow, and perform hand seals in the air!
By then, only Spell Masters could break away from their fate of not being to fight close-range, whereby they could fight and defend. There would be no division between Spell Masters and ancient martial artists.
By then, among ancient martial artists, Martial Venerables would be their only match.
“Amazing, Shen Tiannan! I, Lei Feihu, have only admired one man in this lifetime. You’re the second. You achieved this before I did despite being 20 years younger than me!” Lei Feihu exclaimed.
He was an ancient martial artist who had been stuck as a master since 50 years ago. He could not get to the legendary Martial Dao venerable as he could not find his confidence in the presence of his junior brother!
However, Shen Tiannan achieved that before he did!
Just when the old man in the Taoist robes’ aura was peaking and breaking through, he suddenly opened his eyes and spat a mouthful of blood out.
“Xingye, my son!” He suddenly sensed that his son was dead, and the news crushed his guard at that moment. It made his breakthrough fail!
The old man in black robe said with his deep voice, “What’s wrong, Tiannan?”
“My son is dead. Someone has killed him!”
The old man in black robes was shocked. “My condolences, Tiannan!”
The old man in the Taoist robes had a maniacal look in his eyes while his hair was messy. “Who was it? Who dares to kill my son and interfere with my cultivation?! I’ll kill you!”
A turtle sh.e.l.l appeared in his hand as soon as he said that. “I swear to tear you into pieces. I’ll have 20 years of my life taken away for this primordial fortune-telling…”
The old man in black robes next to him kept his mouth shut, but he was secretly shocked. He could not believe that Shen Tiannan was willing to have 20 years of his life taken away to find out who had killed his son!
However, the turtle sh.e.l.l exploded in the next second. The old man in Taoist robes spat another mouthful of blood out as his face was as pale as wax. “Impossible, this is impossible. I can’t believe I can’t find out who this person is!”
