"You are not allowed to enter! Don't you know whose clubhouse this is? Do you even know the consequences of intrusion?"
A man in uniform was blocking the entrance to the garden.
Facing him were a group of men dressed like Japanese samurais, each of them clutching a katana. They looked fierce and ready to strike at the first sign of discord. At first glance, one could tell that they were hostile. However, it appeared that the owner of the clubhouse was no one insignificant. That was why even a lowly steward dared block these twenty-odd number of warriors with weapons.
"I don't care who runs this clubhouse! If you don't step aside, then don't blame me for what I'm going to do to you!"
"Drop your act! Let me tell you that the owner of this clubhouse is Mr. Aso! Do I need to elaborate on the power of Aso Organization?"
The steward looked haughtily at the gate-crashers as if by revealing his boss' name should scare them!
Bam!
The leader of the pack kicked the steward in the stomach.
He was unusually strong. With just one kick, the steward was sent stumbling three meters back, clutching his stomach, unable to get up!
"Let's go in!"
The leader signaled to his men and they barged.
"Who are you? Get out of the way! Don't block our exit!"
The moneybags in the garden were eager to leave but they were blocked by the samurais.
"You can leave after you leave all the artifacts you just bought! I guarantee that you will leave here unharmed!" The leader threatened, "If you refuse to cooperate, I can't guarantee that you will have at least one missing limb!"
"How dare you rob us in broad daylight? Do you have a death wish?!" one of the moneybags shouted. "Everyone, call your bodyguards! Let's show these fools that they've made a stupid mistake!"
"Okay!"
These group of moneybags never leave home without their bodyguards. So they all took out their phones and called their hired gun who had been waiting for them in the car.
The leader of the samurais did not attempt to stop them but looked comically at them, not even attempting to hide his smile.
"What is this? Why isn't he picking up?"
"No one answered my call either!"
"Me too… Me too…"
The moneybags were baffled. None of their bodyguards picked up!
The head samurai hooted with laughter, "Haha! Your bodyguards are just a bunch of paper tigers! We've already taken care of them before we came in!"
"What? How is that possible? They were all high-cost professionals! How could they be defeated?"
The moneybags could not believe their ears.
Their bodyguards were all either retirees of the Special Forces or underground boxers; on a normal day, a fight of one versus ten was child's play.
But today, they were thrashed!
"Chen… Chen Zhufeng! You are the one who invited us here! Explain what is going on here?!"
"Chen Zhufeng! Did you collude with these people to take back your artifacts after you've taken our Spiritual Stones?!"
"Chen Zhufeng! You are vile!"
The group of coddled moneybags cowered at this; they backed away from the door and started pointing fingers at Chen Xiaobei.
"What a bunch of retards!" Tanaka Tsuyoshi blasted. "If my master wants to take your Spiritual Stones, he would've already killed all of you at the beginning. Why would he spend half a day bargaining with you lot?"
Tanaka Tsuyoshi was a pinnacle ninja with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana stage. His combat power was as high as 50,000! To him, these moneybags and the group of samurais were nothing but a colony of puny ants. At Chen Xiaobei's command, Tanaka Tsuyoshi could, on his own, wipe them out at any moment.
"Everyone! Stay calm!" Amasa Hiko spoke up. "I believe that this had nothing to do with Mr. Chen. If I'm not mistaken, these men belong to Donchen Ittō-ryū."
"Don… Donchen Ittō-ryū? Mr. Amasa, you must be joking right? That is our country's most powerful sword faction!"
"Yeah! Why would Donchen Ittō-ryū wants to rob us?" a few of the moneybags questioned.
But most of them agreed with what Amasa Hiko.
"I think Mr. Amasa is right! Only the Donchen Ittō-ryū can beat all our bodyguards so effortlessly!"
"Yeah! It is only against the against the sword masters that our bodyguards wouldn't even have the chance to counterattack!"
"If they really are people from Donchen Ittō-ryū, doesn't that mean that we won't even have a chance to retaliate?"
"Duh! Without our bodyguards, how are we going to fight back?"
Their hearts hammered against their chest and their palms grew sweaty looking at the samurais with deference as one would look at their father.
"I won't repeat myself again." The lead samurai announced. "If you don't wish to lose a limb, put down your artifacts! If you follow my instructions, you can leave here safely!"
The moneybags wore a pained expression on their faces as if someone had punched them in the stomach.
Even the most affordable artifact cost them 3 Spiritual Stones. To a regular moneybag, this was already a very large sum. For them to give it up just like that was more painful than having their flesh cut off.
"Samurai Dono!"
One of the podgy moneybags was so rattled that he blurted, "These artifacts are useless to you! Why don't you rob Chen Zhufeng instead? He had just received 3,000 Spiritual Stones. Now that is something you guys need!"
The other moneybags started to nod, backing him up. "Yes! Yes! That's right! Rob Chen Zhufeng, not us! Chen Zhufeng has 3,000 Spiritual Stones…"
"I don't need you to tell me that!"
The lead samurai chuckled, his eyes filled with greed.
"That was why I brought my men here! As for the artifacts, I won't leave it just like that! Put them down and get out!"
"You…" Chen Xiaobei, who had kept quiet all throughout, suddenly spoke, "If you want to live, you better disappear from my eyes!"
"Hey pea-brain! Who gave you the balls to speak like that to me?!" The lead samurai sneered. He had no regard for Amasa Hiko, what more Chen Xiaobei?
Chen Xiaobei snickered. "Heh, one word is all I need to finish you! I don't need anyone to give me balls!"
Both Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu readied themselves eagerly. All Chen Xiaobei had to do was give them the order and they would get into action.
Beside them, Li Xiang stood with his hands in his pockets, not even intending to lift a finger.
He would not have to, even if things were to get heated.
"Motherfucking idiot! He's still putting on a show in the face of death!" the lead samurai exploded. "We are from Donchen Ittō-ryū! The most powerful sword faction in Japan! How dare you mock us?!"
"Heh, The most powerful sword faction?"
Again, Chen Xiaobei simpered. "Japan is really a small place! It seems you haven't seen someone that is more powerful than you! You guys are just a bunch monkeys that call yourself king!"
Japan was only the size of one of China's province. And because of that, there were only a handful of factions in Japan. Other than the aforementioned Divine Sovereign Sect and Tenshou, these two powerful ancient factions, the others were too inferior to even be mentioned!
Chen Xiaobei had already conquered China's Jianghu, even giant faction like Xuanjian Faction surrendered. What was a small Japanese faction to Chen Xiaobei?
"F*ck you! How dare you call us monkeys?!"
The Samurais gnashed their teeth.
Here in Japan, in their territory, they could do whatever they want and were revered—they had never been disrespected like that before.
How insufferable!
"That kid is so full of himself! He insulted Japan! Who does he think he is?!"
The moneybags shook their fists.
They were, after all, also Japanese. Besides that, Chen Xiaobei's earlier rejection of Amasa Yuki was also a form denigration of the country!
Before they had even recovered from that face-slapping remark, another one was thrown at them!
"Mr. Chen, please don't provoke them anymore. My grandfather had already sent a signal. We'll just have to wait a little while more and the ninja that my family worships will be here!"
Amasa Yuki, who was still standing next to Chen Xiaobei, pleaded urgently.
But Chen Xiaobei pressed on as if she had not said anything. "I'm giving you three seconds. If you don't leave, don't blame me for what happens to you next!"
"Motherf*cker! You prick! Are you having fun? Just because we haven't kicked your ass yet, you think that we are weak?" the lead samurai raised his big arm and barked, "I want two of you to kill that prick!"
"I'll go!"
"Me too!"
Two of his followers volunteered almost too fervently. Katana drawn with a swoosh, they charged toward Chen Xiaobei.
"Oh no!" Amasa Yuki squealed, squeezing her eyes shut. "Mr. Chen, you got yourself into this! Our family can't protect you!"
She left Chen Xiaobei and ran toward her grandfather.
"Hey shithead! You're going to die!"
Once Amasa Yuki was out of the way, both samurais picked up speed, katanas raised, and charged murderously towards Chen Xiaobei.
"Hack him to death! Hack him to death!" The group of moneybags cheered, keen to witness Chen Xiaobei's death.
"Mr. Chen… You brought this on yourself…" Amasa Hiko sighed dismally. "There is a limit to youthful foolishness! You went too far and pissed everyone off! No one can protect you now!"
Chen Xiaobei was not the slightest bit troubled by what she said. Instead, he felt an urge to laugh.
"Did I ask you to protect me?"
Amasa Hiko's lips twitched. "You ungrateful buffoon! If I hadn't shown up last night, you would still be locked up!"
"Really?" Chen Xiaobei chortled. "Open your eyes wide and see that I don't need your protection!"
"Fine! I'll open my eyes wide to see you die!"
Amasa Hiko lashed out, boiling mad. He was on the verge of joining the others chanting for Chen Xiaobei's death.
Swish!
Swoosh!
Two streaks of light sliced through the air, headed for Chen Xiaobei's head. They wanted Chen Xiaobei dead.
"It's too fast! I can't even see it clearly! They really are the elites from Donchen Ittō-ryū!"
"That pompous fool is dead! He couldn't possibly evade the katanas!"
"Pride comes before a fall! For coming to our country and insulting our land and stomping on our faces, he must die!" The group of moneybags shouted.
To most people, the speed of the katanas was approaching at a breakneck speed, blurry to the naked eye. It was as if in a blink of an eye, Chen Xiaobei's brain would be sliced into pieces like a watermelon!
But to Chen Xiaobei, the katanas were like a pair of old man doing tai chi—they could not even pass as a probable threat.
Chen Xiao did not even try to dodge but said, "Destroy their cultivation and toss them out!"
Swish!
Swoosh!
Just as he had finished talking, both Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu who had been anticipating, sprang like two prowling leopards and attack them!
Slam!
Cang Jingu punched at them, and before the katanas hit the ground, his fist landed on one of the samurai's Dantian.
Blargh…
Fresh blood sprayed from the samurai's lips and he flew five meters away like a broken kite. Lacerations covered his Dantian; the bones inside shattered. It was completely destroyed!
Wham!
Cang Jingu picked up the samurai and threw him aside like he was a piece of garbage.
Whoosh!
Tanaka Tsuyoshi bent his fingers and turned into claws and under the burning True Kang, plunged into another samurai's Dantian.
Rip!
Tanaka Tsuyoshi drew his hand back and taking a piece of flesh with it.
"Argh… Argh…"
Seemingly, the Dantian of the samurai was completely destroyed. The pain had caused to scream in a hysterical manner.
BAM!
Tanaka Tsuyoshi was no kind man. After destroying his cultivation, he jumped up and landed a kick on the samurai—sending him out of the garden. He might have lost his life because of it.
"My… Oh my god… How… How could this be…"
All the moneybags and samurais shook like a leaf, looking like they had seen a ghost as a sharp coldness ran down their spines.
"My god…. That's so scary… Their speed and strength! Are they humans or ghosts…"
The group of moneybags chewed on their nails.
Because the number of Jianghu factions were very few in Japan, nearly all the true elites served the royal family undercover in the Tenshou Subdivision.
These moneybags had never encountered such powerful elites with True Nirvana cultivation. This was like a bombshell that fell on them.
"My god… They are all elites with True Nirvana cultivation… And there are two of them… Even if our faction leader had come, they would die too…"
While a saying went 'Men feat the unknown', the onlookers who now knew, were even frightened, and nearly peed their pants.
The remaining samurais saw Tanaka Tsuyoshi's and Cang Jingu's cultivations and realized that the twenty of them were but weak little ants to these two powerful elites.
Even if there were ten times more men in their group, they would still be crushed!
"We've been duped! Run… Run…" The lead samurai shouted, his voice trembling, "Run… Let's go…"
The samurais took off at lightning speed, fleeing for their lives out of the garden.
That was, after all, the fate of ants.
But of course, whether or not they make it out alive was not up to them!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu tore through the air like deadly gales at maddening speed toward them.
Bam!
Cang Jingu raised his left hand and blasted a samurai's Dantian.
Bam!
His right arm grabbed the hair of another, threw him to the ground and kneed him in the Dantian. Another man down.
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Whoosh!
Both of Tanaka Tsuyoshi hands were bent like claws, scratching at whirlwind speed, piercing samurais' Dantians it was in contact with.
One claw, one man down. Not a moment of hesitation.
"Argh… It hurts like hell… Please forgive us… Without our cultivation, we will lose everything… I beg you please don't do this… Have mercy…"
The samurais whimpered in agony, shrouded in despair. They completely lost it. Legs shaking so violently they had no strength to even lift it off the ground to make their escape. The only option left was to humble themselves and beg.
Alas, their pleadings were not met with grace.
Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu were like two killing machines, mindlessly executing Chen Xiaobei's orders, not stopping until every one of their enemies was thrashed!
These bullies were not worthy of mercy!
"Argh… Blargh… Blargh…"
The twenty samurais were all quashed and thrown out of the garden. Blood was everywhere. But there was not a drop on Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu.
The contrast of power was so glaring.
"They are… Too powerful… These two are like Superman in the movies…"
The group of moneybags could not believe what they had just witnessed. How could this be real?
"Grand… Grandfather, Mr. Chen's followers' power are really scary…" Amasa Yuki said, her voice trembling and her mouth ajar. "Could our family's ninja compare to them?"
"Our most powerful ninja's combat power is 40,000… It should be no problem for him to fight against the younger Cang Jing. But he won't be able to even fend himself against Tanaka!"
Amasa Hiko, who had supposedly seen it all before, gulped.
"My god…"
Beads of cold sweat had appeared on her white forehead.
"Our ninja can take out an entire military force of about a thousand soldiers! That means the police force won't even be able to repress Mr. Chen!"
"You're right…" Amasa Hiko nodded and said, "Don't talk about the police force. Even an army of 3,000 won't be able to stop Mr. Chen from going wherever he pleases!"
Amasa Yuki became silent, an indescribable shock overwhelming her.
"I had thought that going to the police station last night to bail Mr. Chen out was a heroic act." Mr. Amasa Hiko said grimly, "Who would've thought that Mr. Chen did not even need it! Whether or not I had shown up made no difference. How could I even expect Mr. Chen to be grateful?"
Then Amasa Hiko kept quiet.
He had thought that Chen Xiaobei was unthankful and was ready to show Chen Xiaobei his deathbed. The reality was that Amasa Hiko was the one who deserved a slap! Not only did Chen Xiaobei not die, he also did not need Amasa Hiko's help!
"Master! What should be done with this bunch of idiots?" Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu walked over, glaring at the group of moneybags.
"Gasp…"
The group of idiots inhaled sharply, their pulse beating in their ears.
They had cheered enthusiastically when the two samurais were charging toward Chen Xiaobei, rooting for his death. Not only were they humiliated by their own actions, now, but their lives were now also hanging by a thread. One word from Chen Xiaobei and all of them would not have a chance to even catch a glimpse of tomorrow.
"Mr. Chen! Have mercy! I was wrong… I know now that I am wrong…"
The fatty who was the first to shout 'Kill him' fell to knees, begging and kowtowing to Chen Xiaobei. "Mr. Chen… Have mercy… Have mercy…"
It was like a disease. One person knelt down and the rest followed, crying and begging for Chen Xiaobei to forgive them.
Chen Xiaobei kept quiet and strolled toward Amasa Hiko and Amasa Yuki.
The pair hesitated for a moment before bending down.
Only a few brave souls would be undaunted in the face of death. These two, at least, were equanimous.
Chen Xiaobei waved his hand dismissively and said, "You don't have to kneel. I don't want to kill you."
Amasa Hiko and Amasa Yuki looked embarrassed for a moment. Chen Xiaobei had saved the Amasa Family's face.
They felt deeply indebted toward Chen Xiaobei.
"I said get up. I never said that I will kill you!!" Chen Xiaobei said stolidly, "I am a businessman. Today's transaction will be as usual, you may take your things with you!"
'That's great… Thank you Mr. Chen… Thank you…"
The group of moneybags got up, eager to leave.
"Wait!" Chen Xiaobei suddenly said, "I said that I'm a businessman! Even though I don't plan to kill you, you still owe me for wishing me dead! You can leave once we've settled that!"
"I can spare your life, but you must be punished!"
Feeling nervous, all those Japanese tycoons knew that Chen Xiaobei was not going to let them off the hook that easy.
"I'm not going to make your life difficult. All you need to do is give me one Spiritual Stone each! That is the price that all of you have to pay for cursing me!"
The moment Chen Xiaobei voiced out his demand, everyone was shocked by it. Asking a Spiritual Stone from each of them was like asking them to slice off a piece of flesh from their bodies. One Spiritual Stone cost one billion RMB. That was equivalent to 16 billion Yen! Though they were all tycoons – still, 16 billion Yen was not a small amount to them. After knowing that Chen Xiaobei was an extremely powerful individual, they had no choice but to pay him.
"Pay… We are willing to pay you…"
After purchasing their desirable antiques, they had only very little Spiritual Stones left. Rendered with no other options, they still had to pay Chen Xiaobei to live to see tomorrow. Even Amasa Hito and Amasa Yuki had to pay as well. They then left the private club after settled everything.
32 extra Spiritual Stones were now pocketed by Chen Xiaobei. In total, Chen Xiaobei now possessed 3,650 Spiritual Stones!
"With this amount of Spiritual Stones, I now can use all my trump cards freely! Witch Dragon Transformation Skill, Deity Constricting Rope, Quicksand Gourd, and Ancestral Sword Rune… I think it shouldn't be a problem for me to deal with elites with Celestial cultivation!"
Spiritual Qi was equivalent to combat power. That was why Chen Xiaobei was so excited about it. However, he did not get blinded by this sudden happiness. Instead, he calmed down and started to think.
"I think my health is pretty sufficient for now. Next, I have to figure out a way to boost my combat power! I now have an Emerald Cloud Ganoderma with me. I can boost my combat power by a thousand if I borrow Xiao'er's special ability."
"Besides, I acquired quite a number of rare herbs from the Zhuang's vault! I think there are Spiritual Attributes in them. I will just eat all of them as well! Doing that, I can at least increase some combat power! My biggest problem now is time! The more combat power I get, the longer I will sleep! The Saturn Peach Feast will be held seven days later! Meanwhile, I still have to bring Jiang Ziya for a film shoot! I actually don't have enough time to improve my combat power!"
Frowned, it was truly a problem for Chen Xiaobei. He now had the resources but he did not have the time to utilize them. Like before, he had to sleep for seven days after he consumed the Dark Neutron. And it almost cost him his Bei Xuan Faction. That was why Chen Xiaobei he could not afford to risk it this time.
"Should just leave it first. Let me do other important stuff first. I will look for a better opportunity to improve my cultivation!"
After putting some thought into it, Chen Xiaobei had decided that he would prioritize other important matter first.
"Tanaka and Cangjin, the two of you, go and follow those samurais. I want to know who's the one behind this attack!"
"Alright!"
Immediately, Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jungu went after them.
"Li Xiang, if I'm not mistaken, our next target is where the emperor lives, right?"
"Yes! Now, we got the Sui Generis Dragon artifact, we have two more targets left! And they are the emperor's palace and Divine Sovereign Sect! I have already thought of a plan to sneak into the emperor's palace! But, I still can't figure out how to sneak into the Divine Sovereign Sect. So, let's just start with the emperor's palace first. If we can find the scale there, we don't have to sneak into Divine Sovereign Sect anymore."
"Okay. We will follow your plan! Go and get ready first. Let me take care of something with old man Jiang first! I will join you later!"
"Okay!"
Li Xiang nodded his head and left the place.
After that, Chen Xiaobei went to the meeting room to look for Jiang Ziya. The moment the two of them sat down to rest, Song Qincheng called Chen Xiaobei. Seemingly, she had already contacted the pornography production company. Immediately, Chen Xiaobei traveled to the company with Jiang Ziya to discuss the job in detail.
Following the address, they arrived at an ordinary house in the suburbs of Tokyo. Chen Xiaobei then went and look for the producer, Yamashita Hoitaro.
"Welcome, Mr. Chen Zhufeng! Welcome, Jiang Ziya! We are glad that you are here!"
Yamashita Hoitaro stood at the entrance with three of his employees to greet Chen Xiaobei and Jiang Ziya. There were only four of them working in this pornography production company.
"We feel so honored that we have been given the privilege to work with the best movie production company in China!" said Yamashita Hoitaro with a smile.
The way he talked and acted toward Chen Xiaobei made him look like a eunuch.
"Mr. Yamashita Hoitaro. This is a very important task to me! I'm going to go straight to the point with you! Looking at your company, are you confident enough to complete it in a short time frame?"
"You don't have to worry about it! As the Chinese saying goes, our company is small as the sparrow is but it possesses all its internal organs! We have all the paperwork ready! Finish the filming today and we can upload it online to sell tomorrow!"
"Damn! That is fast!"
Chen Xiaobei would be able to focus more on his training if Jiang Ziya could finish his filming today.
"This is actually pretty normal! However, there are a lot of preparation work to be done before filming. This is going to take some time!" said Yamashita Hoitaro with a smile on his face.
"Why?"
"We actually need to design the content. For example, a lot of time is needed to book an actress! The most important thing is money! I need to make sure that the both of us will not lose money from this production! I'm going to need some time to work out the number!"
The thing that Yamashita Hoitaro just said actually made perfect sense. For the content, they needed to choose from roles like nurse, teacher, MILF, and others. And for places, they could choose from office, hospital, classroom, and even onsen. All these factors are essential to create a good storyline.
As for the actress, they might need to wait for half a year if they wanted to hire a famous actress. Lastly, money was always the biggest problem. From shooting, lighting, background, props, and advertising—alll these require money! Many porn productions had to be canceled because they could not come to an agreement. That was why Yamashita Hoitaro said the preparation was really time-consuming. However, this was not a problem for Chen Xioabei.
"What so difficult about it? Don't worry! Money is not a problem to me!"
"Problem is no longer a problem for him as long as it could be solved by money? Mr. Chen. Are you trying to say that your company will support us in terms of money?" asked Yamashita Hoitaro.
"Not support! You guys can take however much from us! Let me tell you my idea! I will be the one that designs the storyline! You and your crew can work on the other stuff! And I don't even mind that you take some money for yourself! My only condition is you have to finish filming as soon as possible!"
Upon hearing that, Yamashita Hoitaro was fired up. Immediately, he nodded his head.
"No problem! Leave that to me! I will promise you that I will do my best to speed everything up!"
Usually, the investor would pay close attention to the money that the company spent. Not only were they tight on budget, they would ask the company to show them all the numbers. That was why Yamashita Hoitaro would not be able to get any extra money for himself on a regular basis. Knowing that Chen Xiaobei was not bothered about money, Yamashita Hoitaro would definitely do his best to fulfill Chen Xiaobei's demands.
"As for the female actress! I want you to book the seven most famous actresses!"
"Se… Seven? It's hard to even hire one of those famous actresses! It's not possible that all of them have the same schedule!" said Yamashita Hoitaro, gulped.
"Don't talk to me about schedule! Pay them triple their market rate! Ask them to shoot in my film first! If they are not satisfied with triple the rate, pay them five times their market rate! If they are not satisfied with five times the rate, pay them ten times the market rate! I only have one principle with me! Money can make anyone do anything!"
"Damn! Mr. Chen! You sound so powerful! I know that I should do now! Once they see the money, I think they will be able to rearrange their schedule!"
"Finally, let me talk to you about my reward to you! I will pay you 30 million if you can sell the film tomorrow! The day after tomorrow will be 20 million! And the third day will be 10 million! More than that, you will not receive any reward from me!"
Yamashita Hoitaro was taken aback after hearing Chen Xiaobei's reward system.
"Mr… Mr. Chen! Does your reward come in RMB or Yen?"
"Of course it's RMB!"
Sii…
Yamashita Hoitaro then took in a deep breath. 30 million RMB was equivalent to 500 million Yen! After minus all the necessary spending, Yamashita Hoitaro still could earn a huge sum of money! That kind of profit was equivalent to the money that his company earned in five years! Spending almost ten years in the film industry, Yamashita Hoitaro had never encountered such a golden opportunity. No matter what, he would never miss it.
"Mr. Chen! Don't you worry! I will act on it now! I will do my best to finish filming by tonight! By tomorrow, I will upload the film on the Internet for sale!" said Yamashita Hoitaro in a confident manner.
After that, Yamashita Hoitaro went and contacted all the top-tier actresses personally. The rest of the four employees quickly did what Chen Xiaobei asked them to do as well. They decorated the place to make it look like a cave with a dark gray background. They then lit up a couple of pink lamps to make the whole place look sensual.
After that, they placed a fake tiger skin in the middle of the bed. Items like whips, candles, and red strings were placed on the bed as well.
"Bei… Bro Bei… What is going on? This place looks like where the demons stay!"
Jiang Ziya was terrified by it after he saw the finished product.
"That's right! This is a place where demons stay! Have you heard about the Seven Calabash Brothers fighting with the Snake Demon?" said Chen Xiaobei with an evil smile.
"Seven Calabash Brothers? Snake Demon? What are you talking about?"
Clearly, Jiang Ziya could not figure out what was Chen Xiaobei trying to do. All he did was drop his jaw and stare at Chen Xiaobei. The funny thing was his front tooth was missing!
"How can you not know about this story?! How outrageous!"
Chen Xiaobei then took out his cell phone and showed the cartoon to Jiang Ziya.
"Mr. Chen! I have managed to ask the seven most famous actresses to join our production!"
Yamashita Hoitaro walked over and told Chen Xiaobei the good news. As the saying goes, money can make any human do all kind of things! The moment the actresses heard that they were going to pay them triple the rate, all of them said yes to Yamashita Hoitaro without any second thought. Now, they were on the way to the filming scene. One of them even stopped her current shooting and rushed over here.
"Come and have a look! This is my idea!"
Chen Xiaobei showed the cartoon to Yamashita Hoitaro as well.
"Mr. Chen, are you trying to make all seven actresses act as the Seven Calabash Brothers? And your guy will act as a Snake Demon?" asked Yamashita Hoitaro.
"No! Of course not! I will be criticized heavily if I adopt the Seven Calabash Brothers story into my production!"
"What are you planning to do then?"
"The original story is called Seven Calabash Brothers fight with Snake Demon! My production will be called Seven Snake Demons fight with a grandpa!"
"Seven Snake Demons fight with a grandpa? Mr. Chen! This is a very unusual idea! I don't think there's anyone done this before! There might be a high chance that it will become very famous!"
"Don't worry! It will get famous!"
"Now that we have the seven Snake Demon sisters, is Mr. Chen going to act as the grandpa?"
"I have told you that the main character is a grandpa! How can we lie to our viewers?!"
"The role grandpa is going to act by a real grandpa! Hehe! You guess it right! I'm talking about him! Mr. Jiang Ziya!"
Blarrghh!
"I… I don't think I can do it… My body will collapse by the time the film is done!" said Jiang Ziya.
"What now? You want to try freefalling again?"
"No! No… No… No…"
Immediately, Jiang Ziya shook his head. He would never be bold enough to challenge Chen Xiaobei again after he wet his pants the last time.
"Mr. Chen… Mr. Jiang is right about it! Look at him! He's in his eighties! It would be difficult for him to shoot with one actress! There are seven of them now! I'm afraid that his body can't take it!"
"Don't worry! I have something here to boost his body's strength!" said Chen Xiaobei with an evil smile.
"Mr. Chen! Please don't kid around with matter like that! The seven actresses that I hire are really good at their work! They can suck a man dry within minutes! Let alone an old man that is in his eighties! Even young men like me and you will not be able to handle all of them at the same time," said Yamashita Hoitaro.
"Suck… Suck a man dry… Bro Bei… Please don't do this to me… Look at me… I don't have any cultivation on me! I will die if I overwork my body!" said Jiang Ziya in a fearful manner.
"I just told you that I have a quick way to boost your body strength! Don't worry!"
Ring!
Suddenly, Yamashita Hoitaro's cell phone rang.
"All the actresses are here! Let's go and welcome them! We will talk about the detail later! Still, I would advise you not to let this old man act in this production! I don't want anything bad happen to him!"
Right after talking, Yamashita Hoitaro rushed to the entrance.
"Bro Bei, you heard that right? The director is asking me not to be a part of this production!"
"Heh… Money can make anyone do all kind of things! If I pay him enough, I'm pretty sure that he is more than willing to ask his father to be the main character! Remember! You are the one that brought this upon yourself! Earlier, I did show you the right path to recruit your disciples but you refused to listen to me! And, you even try to bring harm to me by being an undercover!"
"I'm going to be absolutely frank! You have to be the main character in this movie no matter what! If your action or behavior costs me my Saturn Peach, I will make sure that you will send to hell and have fun with Yanwang!"
"I…"
Upon hearing that, Jiang Ziya was terrified. He then thought about all the time that he had last time, he regretted that he did not make use of the time to learn something new. Now, other than taking part in the production, he had no other options to recruit disciples for himself.
"Stop feeling sorry for yourself! Lift up your head and chest! Don't let others think that us, Chinese are useless!" said Chen Xiaobei.
"But… I really think that I can't do it… I don't want to die while having sex with Japanese women! I will be an embarrassment to all the Chinese men if that happens!" said Jiang Ziya.
Chen Xiaobei responded with a glare and Jiang Ziya quickly zipped his mouth.
"Just shut your mouth! I'm here and I will make sure that you will do our country proud!" said Chen Xiaobei with a confident smile.
Seemingly he had everything under control.
"Do our country proud…?"
If he managed to conquer all seven women, he would definitely do the country proud. However, he would bring shame to the country if he died in Japan because of this production. Upon thinking about that, Jiang Ziya feared Chen Xiaobei from the bottom of his heart. He had never thought that Chen Xiaobei could be so cruel. He then secretly told himself that he would never offend Chen Xiaobei anymore.
"They are here! All the actors and actresses are here!"
Yamashita Hoitaro brought ten people walked into the room. Other than the seven actresses, there were another three actors. Considering that Chen Xiaobei had watched a lot of pornography while he was in high school, he could easily recognize all the actresses. As for the three actors, Chen Xioabei could recognize them as well. One of them was known as the Japanese Jay Chou. The other one was known as Japanese Brad Pitt, and the last one was known as God Hand, Taka Kato!
"Why are the three of them here as well?" Chen Xiaobei's curiosity was piqued.
"This is the case. All three of them heard that you are paying three times the price of their usual pay. That's why they want to come over here to grab the opportunity to become the lead actor in this production!"
Upon hearing that, the three of them quickly came over to show Chen Xioabei their advantage.
"Look at my muscle! The film is going to be perfect if I'm chosen to become the lead actor of this production!"
Immediately, the Japanese Jay Chou performed a few poses to showcase his hard muscles. Right after that, the Japanese Brad Pitt wanted to show that he was better than the Japanese Jay Chou.
"I don't have a muscular body but I can last really long in the bed! I can continue filming for one hour nonstop! I will not stop until the director says cut!"
"One hour?"
Chen Xiaobei was trying to hold back his laughter. Finally, everyone landed their attention on Taka Kato. He did not say a single word. Instead, he lifted up his right hand. One could see that the combination of his index finger and middle finger looked exactly like a meat stick. Suddenly, he moved his fingers swiftly—making it looked like a vibrator.
"What… What is he doing?" asked Jiang Ziya.
"His name is Taka Kato. He is one of the greatest pornography actors in Japan! Look at his fingers! He can easily use them to conquer any women in this world! That's why he is given the title God Hand!" said Chen Xiaobei.
"Ah!! Mr. Kato is so handsome! I wish I can act together with him!"
All seven actresses were completely mesmerized by Taka Kato's fingers. They looked like they were his big fans.
"Damn! This is so damn cool!"
Judging from the horny looks of the seven actresses, Jiang Ziya could deduce that his fingers were extremely powerful.
"Mr. Chen! The three of them are top-tier actors in the pornography industry! I would like to suggest that you choose one of them to become the lead actor in this production! Mr. Jiang is after all an aged man. I will have to bear all the responsibility if something bad happens to him!" said Yamashita Hoitaro.
Immediately, the seven actresses responded to this matter as well.
"That's right! A lot of stamina is needed to complete a production like this! Choosing a grandpa to be the lead actor is definitely not a wise move!"
"Besides, he needs to have enough strength as well! If his dick fails to stand up for us, we won't be able to give our best for this production!"
"All these are just small matter! The thing that I'm afraid the most is that he passes away during filming! By that time, we will be in deep trouble!"
"You are right! We are just a group of ordinary women! I don't think any of us here can bear the responsibility!"
...….
"Choose me! I have the body and the look! You will not regret if you choose me as the lead actor!" said the Japanese Jay Chow.
"Pick me! Pick me! I can last really long in bed! One cut is all I need! I can save you a lot of time!" said the Japanese Brad Pitt.
Lastly, Taka Kato did not say a word about it. All he did was continued to move his fingers with an arrogant look on him.
"Bro Bei! I think everyone has come to an agreement! Just let me go this time please…" said Jiang Ziya while looking at Chen Xioabei with a pity face.
"You are the one that needs to recruit disciples! Not them! Tell me if you want to experience free falling again!" said Chen Xiaobei while glaring at Jiang Ziya.
Immediately, Jiang Ziya shut his mouth.
"I have already decided! The lead actor is going to be Jiang Ziya! I will bear all the responsibility if something bad happens to him! You can leave right now if you don't want to be part of this production! Mr. Hoitaro, prepared the lead actor for shooting!" said Chen Xiaobei icily.
"We will do it! We will do it! We have never mentioned that we want to leave this place!"
All seven actresses would definitely do it for the sake of money. There was nowhere in Japan that would offer them three times their usual market rate.
"We are all ready…"
Soon, all seven actresses had put on their Snake Demon makeup and changed to skin-tight snakeskin shirts and pants. When the seven of them stood together in the cave, they did look like the real Snake Demons. On the other hand, Jiang Ziya put on a simple shirt and pants that were made of linen. Besides the costume, he was holding a stick as well. This made him look more like an authentic old man.
"Alright! Let me brief you guys about the storyline! It's actually very simple! In the beginning, White Snake and Green Snake will hold the old man hostage in the cave. After that, they had sex with him. The rest of the Snake Demons see it and want to have sex with the old man as well. In the end, all seven of you are conquered by him! Understood?" said Yamashita Hoitaro.
"Understood…"
All seven of them weakly replied. It was apparent that they were not willing to have sex with Jiang Ziya. A few of them were even whispering about it.
"They are basically asking us to have sex with that old eunuch! And we need to act like we are enjoying it! That really required some high-tier acting skill!"
"Look at that fragile old man! He wants to conquer the seven of us? This is how typical Chinese acts! They love acting as though they can do it! In actuality, they are just a bunch of weaklings!"
"I really can't understand what's our investor is thinking. This whole thing sickens me!"
"Well, he is rich! So, he can do whatever he likes! We should just get this over with!"
"Luckily, that old man is just a weakling! I don't think he can last long in bed! We can just give some lousy performance and get paid!"
"Right..."
It seemed that all seven actresses were not looking forward to work together with Jiang Ziya. All they ever wanted was to get paid and leave this place.
"Hmph! Just a weak old man! How dare he take away the golden opportunity from us?! I bet that he can only last three minutes in bed! After that, his body will not be able to take it anymore!" said the Japanese Jay Chou.
"I too bet that he can't last for three minutes!" said the Japanese Brad Pitt.
Finally, Taka Kato opened his mouth to say something about it.
"Chinese men have always been known as sick men of East Asia! He is going to going to bring shame to his country later! Just watch!"
As the saying goes, breaking someone's path of fortune is no different from killing their parents. To the three of them, Jiang Ziya was the one that broke their path of fortune. That was why they were cursing him inside their hearts. After listening to all those comments, Chen Xiaobei chose to not say something about them. Instead, he translated every single word that they said to Jiang Ziya.
"Bro Bei!"
Immediately, Jiang Ziya's face darkened. Fury could be heard from his tone as his presence had completely changed. Now, he looked like the commander that had helped to defeat hundreds of enemies during Bei Xuan's faction most difficult time.
"What now? Do you have something that you want to say?" asked Chen Xiaobei.
"This is just too much! I will not allow them to criticize us like that! Never! Give me the thing that you said can boost my body's strength! Quick! I want to use my active to show them that I can conquer their women! I want to slap them in the face with the result! They are going to have a taste of their own medicine!" said Jiang Ziya indignantly.
"Okay! I can respect that! You are a true man now!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile.
He then passed a bottle to Jiang Ziya.
"This is the supplement that can boost my body's strength? What did you put inside?"
"Inside is the Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine that I brewed some time ago!"
"Dragon… Dragon Dick? Damn! That's some powerful stuff there!"
Clearly, Jiang Ziya could not wait to consume the moonshine. One could see that he was a man that loves to drink alcohol.
"But, my body needs time to absorb this moonshine! I don't think it can help me in such a short period!" said Jiang Ziya in a worried manner.
"Need you to tell me about it? I have added something inside the moonshine! Just drink it! I can promise you that you will be able to wield the power of a beast later!"
Seemingly, Chen Xiaobei had predicted a situation like this. That was why he was prepared to deal with it.
"Alright! Let the battle begin!"
Immediately, Jiang Ziya opened the bottle and down the entire bottle of Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine.
"So bitter! What did you add inside the moonshine?"
"During the Lunar New Year Eve, I managed to snatch three Infallible Tower Pills from Wei Xiaobao. I put one of it inside the moonshine!"
"Infallible… Infallible Tower Pill… Ugh…"
Taken aback, Jiang Ziya let out a deep breath suddenly. At that moment, his Qi Field changed again. Like a hungry beast, Jiang Ziya was staring at the seven actresses. Soon, his skin turned red—as though scorched by flames. Two of his veins even protruded from his forehead. Clearly, he was extremely aroused right now.
"Are you okay?" asked Chen Xiaobei, startled.
"I'm fine! Let's carry on with the shooting! I can't wait any longer!"
"Alright"
Chen Xiaobei then nodded his head to signal Yamashita Hoitaro to begin filming.
"Everyone! Get ready! Filming will start now! Action!"
Acting skills are not really important in pornography films after all. Once the Green Snake and White Snake brought Jiang Ziya into the cave, they could start to take off their clothes and have sex. After the foreplay, Jiang Ziya quickly did it with the Green Snake.
"Let's start the countdown now! I will eat shit if he can last more than three minutes!" said the Japanese Jay Chou.
"Eat shit is nothing! I will dance at the grave and eat the dead's ashes with rice if he can last more than three minutes!" said the Japanese Brad Pitt.
"What a childish bunch! You guys don't even know how to act cool! I will perform Seppuku if he can last more than three minutes!" said Taka Kato.
"Damn! Taka Kato is a legend!"
To them, Jiang Ziya was just a weak old man. They were pretty sure that he would definitely not last long in bed. That was why they could say whatever they wanted to say.
"Look at that speed! It's so fast! Like a sewing machine!" said the Japanese Jay Chou.
"He is very strong as well! Like a bull!" said the Japanese Brad Pitt.
"Look at Green Snake! She's enjoying it! Only ten seconds has passed and it seems like she can't take it anymore! Good heavens! How's that even possible?" Taka Kato exclaimed in astonishment.
The special moonshine that Chen Xiaobei gave to Jiang Ziya made him a superman in bed. Three minutes had passed and Green Snake had found herself lost in the land of pleasure. Her body was shaking involuntarily and her body was covered in sweat. Seemingly, she just had a good time with Jiang Ziya. The rest of the six actresses were looking at Green Snake jealously. Seeing that all of them were licking their lips and eyes were lit up, one could see that they could not wait to jump in line to have sex with Jiang Ziya.
"The ones that mentioned to me about eating shit, dancing at the grave, and performing Seppuku! Three of you can go and do it now!"
Chen Xiaobei strode toward the three of them and looked at them in scornfully.
"We… We are just kidding! Please don't take it seriously! You Chinese are always like that! Where is your sense of humor?"
Their faces had turned red. It looked like they were just slapped by someone. They were all acting tough when they made the bet earlier. Now, they had to thicken their face to tell Chen Xiaobei that they were just kidding.
"Okay…I have already known that all three of you will say something like that! This is how Japanese behaves anyway! They all like to break their promises! What a shameless thing to do!" said Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face.
Slapping them was not enough, Chen Xiaobei had to step on their faces to satisfy himself.
"You! Mr. Chen! You should be more polite! That's just three minutes! You really shouldn't feel proud about it!" said the Japanese Jay Chou.
"That's right! I can last an hour in bed! And he had just done it for three minutes! Please don't show off in front of us!" said the Japanese Brad Pitt.
"You Chinese are like that! A bunch of frogs in the well! There are so many people better than you guys!" said Taka Kato.
"Remember what you guys said to me! I'm going to take a nap first! I'll be back to slap your faces!" said Chen Xiaobei.
He then walked ou oft the room. The moment he returned to his car, he took out his cell phone to check on the wedding news of the Japanese crowned price. After that, he took a sweet long nap. By the time he woke up, the sky had turned dark.
Chen Xiaobei stretched his back, got down from the car, and went back to the filming room.
"What… What is going on?"
The moment Chen Xiaobei walked into the room, he was completely stunned by what he saw.
The Japanese Jay Chou was kneeling on the ground!
The Japanese Brad Pitt was kneeling on the ground!
Even the arrogant Take Kato was kneeling on the ground as well!
Cameraman, lighting technician, prop master, and even the director, Yamashita Hoitaro were kneeling on the ground too.
"Why… Why are you guys kneeling on the ground?" asked Chen Xiaobei in a puzzled manner.
"He… He is too good! Teacher No-Tooth is too good! He just shot for six hours non-stop! Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Dark Green, and Blue Snake Demon were defeated by him!" said Yamashita Hoitaro.
"Uhh…"
Immediately, Chen Xiaobei turned around to look at the filming scene. All six of the actresses were lying on the ground, exhausted. Their hairs were messy, sweat were all over their bodies, and their skin had turned pinkish red. Judging from their looks of euphoria, one could see that they were now in heaven. On the other hand, the White Snake was still having a hell of a time with Jiang Ziya. It was only a matter of time before Jiang Ziya conquered her.
"In the end, I didn't even have to slap your face! I'm surprised that the three of you knelt down before I arrived!" said Chen Xiaobei in mild amusement.
"I surrender! I'm truly impressed by him! Teacher No-Tooth is just too good in bed! I have ventured in this industry for more than years, yet I have never seen someone like him!" said Japanese Jay Chou.
The way he looked at Jiang Ziya was filled with respect.
"Before I meet Teacher No-Tooth, I have always thought that an hour in bed was an impressive achievement! Now, I finally realized that I'm just a speck of dust as compared to him!" said the Japanese Brad Pitt while flushing.
"Jiang Ziya is not a human! He is a god! A god in bed! From today onward I will not call myself God Hand anymore! No one can be called god in the pornography industry except for Teacher No-Tooth!" said Taka Kato.
"God damn right! Teacher No-Tooth is a god! Other than kneeling down and continue with the shooting, we can't find other ways to express our feelings anymore!"
Yamashita Hoitaro and four of his employees were truly impressed by Jiang Ziya.
As for the seven actresses, their bodies and minds were totally conquered by Jiang Ziya. From today onward, it was hard for them to feel satisfied when they had sex with other men. Upon seeing that, Chen Xiaobei was getting really excited as well.
"Damn! Old man Jiang's pornography film is not even being released on the internet yet! Yet, all 14 of them have become his disciples! I believe he can easily recruit one million disciples in these few days! Ahahaha!"
One should know that pornography had become a staple culture in Japan. There were many Otakus who treated pornography as their second life. That was why Jiang Ziya would definitely become famous once the production was done and up for sale. As the main character of this pornography film, Jiang Ziya could definitely make hundreds of thousands of Otakus become his die-hard fans.
He could move as fast as a sewing machine!
He had the strength of a bull!
He could last as long as perpetual motion!
Recruiting one million disciples in six days could be considered done! One hour later, Jiang Ziya was finally done filming. The White Snake could not even differentiate reality and fantasy anymore. It was midnight after they cleaned up themselves.
All seven actresses did not want Jiang Ziya to leave them. They mentioned that if Jiang Ziya was willing to marry all of them, they were more than willing to quit the pornography industry. As for Yamashita Hoitaro, he did not want Jiang Ziya to leave as well. Firstly, he wanted Jiang Ziya to promote the film. Secondly, he wanted Jiang Ziya to be part of his production in the future!
After all, Jiang Ziya was now a human. He was actually seriously considering it. Knowing that Li Xiang's plan was about to begin, Chen Xiaobei knew that Jiang Ziya would not be much help. In the end, Chen Xiaobei handed over Jiang Ziya to Yamashita Hoitaro. Before he left, he gave the two Infallible Tower Pills and two bottles of Hundred Fruits Dragon Dick Moonshine to Jiang Ziya.
To Chen Xiaobei's surprise, Jiang Ziya approached him before he left.
"Xiaobei! You have helped me to pick up the pride as a man that I dropped a long time ago! I will definitely help you to get a Saturn Peach during the Saturn Peach Feast!"
"Hello? Li Xiang, what's the situation over there?"
As soon as he left the studio, Chen Xiaobei called Li Xiang to start begin phase two of their plan: find the Orochi Scale.
But things were not going smoothly for Li Xiang. He told Chen Xiaobei helplessly, "Brother Bei. We have a problem. The executive chef at the palace we had bribed suddenly changed his mind and refused to let us slip in. I have to find another way."
"Mm, if that's the case, I won't go to you." Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, "Come up with another solution. I will deal with the people who try to stop us."
"People who tried to stop us? Are you talking about the vicious individual behind Donchen Ittō-ryū?"
Li Xiang was very perceptive.
"Yes. If everything has gone according to plan, Tanaka and the others should be following our enemies to their nest. They've just texted me. I better go see for myself." Chen Xiaobei said.
"Alright. Roger that. I will see what I can come up with. I'll update you on our progress later." Said Li Xiang before hanging up.
Chen Xiaobei sped to the location Tanaka Tsuyoshi had sent.
Along the way, Chen Xiaobei evaluated their current situation and the variables. Earlier, he had kept his composure when he spoke to Li Xiang to avoid putting any additional pressure on him.
The truth was, their situation was tight.
They had failed to infiltrate the palace, and Li Xiang had yet figured a way into Divine Sovereign Sect.
It looked like their plans to find the Orochi Scale had hit the wall.
These few days, Chen Xiaobei had been looking up the internet and read that before the Royal wedding of the crown prince, Demonic Fox will be fasting in Divine Sovereign Sect, guarded by the Divine King and four guardians who would be chanting.
That meant that if Chen Xiaobei wanted to see Demonic Fox before the wedding, he had to start a war against the Divine Sovereign Sect.
The Divine King's cultivation was a mystery and the four guardians were elites with Celestial cultivation.
Even if Chen Xiaobei summons four of his loyal, Celestial-cultivated hounds from China, it might not be a sure-win.
It was clearly unrealistic to go to war now.
This also meant that their plan to rescue Demonic Fox would have to take a back seat for now. Even though Chen Xiaobei hoped to find reincarnated Daji, he had no other leads other than that she was in Japan.
Clearly, this was another impasse.
Time waits for no one. The days had passed by just like that, and if they do not find a way to break these impasses, this trip to Japan would be a complete waste!
Chen Xiaobei was in a desperate need for a breakthrough.
He could not simply rely on Li Xiang to come up answers. He had to do some thinking himself.
...
At Mount Donchen
Donchen Ittō-ryū had seemingly claimed it as their own private territory, keeping the beautiful mountain and fresh water to themselves. No one else was allowed to set foot in it.
Chen Xiaobei parked his car at the foot of the mountain and walked up to the appointed place where he found Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu waiting.
"Bro Bei, you don't actually have to come here yourself," Tanaka Tsuyoshi said in contempt. "I can handle this rubbish faction on my own!"
Cang Jingu did not want to admit incapacity either. "Even my combat power is lower, I can make the faction leader of Donchen Ittō-ryū get down on his knees before me if I take down my mask and reveal my true identity! Donchen Ittō-ryū is a dog to my Cang Jing family!
Tanaka Tsuyoshi was a pinnacle ninja and Cang Jingu was also known as the number one prodigy. They could easily finish off Donchen Ittō-ryū on their own.
But Chen Xiaobei came anyway.
"There are some changes to our plans. I need to find a new solution. Take me in first. We can't miss any chance we get." Chen Xiaobei briefly explained.
The three men walked up the hill through the dense forest to avoid detection.
There were a lot of houses on the side of the mountain and because of the twenty over wounded men whose cultivation were destroyed, nearly all the houses were lit up.
For the sake of making arrangements for the injured, the mastermind behind the evil plan had his hands full. It was nearly dawn when he finally sat down with a cup of tea.
"Master Umekawa! I sent my men to rob Chen Zhufeng because I heard your intel! I didn't even get my hands on a single artifact or Spiritual Stone! Instead, I lost twenty of my powerful members!" said a middle-aged man with silvered hair wearing a hideous look on his face.
He was the faction leader of Donchen Ittō-ryū, Daisuke Ojima.
"Mr. Donchi! This was an honest mistake! I did not expect this Chinese boy to bring two bodyguards with Celestial cultivation! I really didn't know and you can't possibly blame me for that…" the man next to him said feebly.
His face was wrapped in a layer of cloth.
The culprit responsible for leaking information to Donchen Ittō-ryū, the unlucky bastard that Chen Xiaobei had struck was none other than Umekawa Shichijiro!
The rivalry between Chen Xiaobei and the Umekawa Family went all the way back to when they were in Green Vine University.
Umekawa Neiku and Chen Xiaobei had engaged in conflict many times. Umekawa Neiku had brought his men to kill Chen Xiaobei but was crushed by him instead.
Ever since that time, Umekawa Neiku's father, Umekawa Osatake had spent money, hiring assassins from all over the world to murder Chen Xiaobei and his family. Fortunately, Chen Xiaobei owned a loyal, ferocious dog to look after the house. There was no use hiring these assassins.
And because of that, Chen Xiaobei and the Umekawa Family became involved in a long-standing feud.
Chen Xiaobei had struck Umekawa Shichijiro at the airport because, one, he deserved it and two, most importantly of all, because he hated the entire family.
"I never put all the blame on you! But we must get even no matter what" Daisuke Ojima said sourly, "I want to rob all of Chen Zhufeng's Spiritual Stones and artifacts!"
"That is a must!" Umekawa Shichijiro gritted his teeth. "I have spent so much time and energy pursuing Amasa Yuki! But he ruined my plans! Even in my sleep, I dream of killing him! After we've had our revenge, you can take all the stones and artifacts! I only want Amasa Yuki!"
"Heh, what you really want is to get your hands on the Amasa's fortune, right?" Daisuke Ojima peered at him, laughing greedily. "If you succeed, make sure you give some to me!"
"No problem!" Umekawa Shichijiro slapped his chest and swore, "When I finally become the Amasa's son-in-law, I will not forget you!"
"Good! Now, I can finally show my trump card!" Daisuke Ojima laughed confidently, "I have a cousin brother who is the chief security officer in the palace! And he is also a pinnacle ninja from Tenshou! Chen Zhufeng will surely be dead if he is willing to help us!"Previous: Zhizhang
"What are you waiting for? Bring your cousin here! If Chen Zhufeng escapes, our plan for revenge will be completely ruined!" Umekawa Shichijiro said impatiently.
"Please, I don't need you to remind me. I've already called him. He had to work the night shift today. He'll only be here first thing in the morning!" Daisuke Ojima smiled, pleased with himself. "The only thing we need to find out is if Chen Xiaobei is still staying at the same place… Who is that?"
As he was talking, someone tapped him on his shoulder from behind.
He turned around instinctively, and saw a young man in his twenties standing behind him, smiling at him.
"There's no need to look. I brought myself here to wait for your cousin brother to arrive!"
There were two other men standing on either side of him, their expressions cold and calculating.
"Chen… Chen Zhufeng… How are you here?!"
Umekawa Shichijiro recognized the young man immediately, his nostrils flared.
"You could have walked away safely! Why do you have to send yourself to hell? Ouch!"
Bam!
Before he could finish, Cang Jingu reached out and slapped Umekawa Shichiijro hard in the face.
Even though the idiot's face was bandaged, Cang Jingu did not hold back. Umekawa Shichijiro was sent through the air and hit right smacked into the wall.
"Blargh…"
His turned his head to his side and covered the ground with blood and pieces of broken teeth.
"You imbecile! Who said you can call him by name?" Cang Jingu said as he stood over Umekawa Shichijiro and looked down at him.
"I…" Umekawa Shichijiro froze, the wrath in his eyes replaced with terror.
When he saw his enemy, Umekawa Shichijiro's initial panic had quickly turned into indignance, having forgotten that Chen Xiao had brought two powerful bodyguards.
But after this slap, he clammed up and he dared not utter another word.
"You… You must be Mr. Chen Xiaobei, right?" Daisuke Ojima's brows furrowed as he insinuated, "Since you were earlier, you must have heard that my cousin will be here once morning comes! It's already 4 a.m. He should be on his way now!"
Chen Xiaobei smiled smugly at this and asked, "Are you threatening me?"
"You are the one who said it and I won't deny it either." Daisuke Ojima shrugged and announce confidently, "My cousin is a pinnacle ninja at Tenshou! If you do not wish to die, then get down on your knees and
Chen Xiaobei made no comment but turned and spoke in Mandarin, "Is he telling the truth?"
"Yes, he is!" Tanaka Tsuyoshi nodded and replied in Mandarin, "Like me, his cousin Nikkawa Daichi, is also one of the twelve pinnacle ninjas from Tenshou!"
"What the hell are you guys babbling about? Speak Japanese!"
Daisuke Ojima could not understand a word they said.
Umekawa Shichijiro, who was a distance away, was also at a loss.
Umekawa Shichijiro thought for a while and added, "The element that Nikkawa Daichi trains on is water! And mine is fire! In other words, he is my kryptonite! I will surely be defeated if he comes here!"
"I'm not interested in his cultivation." Chen Xiaobei shook his head and asked, "Why is his cousin's surname Nikkawa? Isn't that the royal family's name?"
"It is the royal family's surname!" Umekawa Shichijiro then proceeded to explain. "Nikkawa Daichi's mother had married a member of the royal family. So, he has royal blood! And it is because of that that he was appointed the commander of the Japanese Imperial Guard and is in charge of protecting the Emperor!"
"Oh, no wonder. That means that he's the only person that the Emperor trusts, right?" Chen Xiaobei asked.
"That's right." Tanaka Shichijiro nodded. "The palace is where the members of the royal family reside. They've given the colossal responsibility of guarding their safety entirely to Nikkawa Daichi! Imagine the confidence they have in him!"
"Good! That's great!" Chen Xiaobei grinned and said, "I think I've found our way in!"
"Hey idiots! Didn't you hear me? I told you to speak in Japanese!"
Daisuke Ojima wanted to see Chen Xiaobei pleading on his knees but instead Chen Xiaobei was laughing away. This irritated him.
"Don't say I didn't give you a chance! If you don't kneel before me now, I'll make sure you suffer when my cousin arrives!"
Chen Xiaobei raised his brow and said in Japanese, "I forgot to tell you that I really don't like people threatening me!"
"The f*ck? How is it that you're still so smug in the face of death?" Daisuke Ojima spat. "I am, in fact, threatening you! What are you going to do about it? Don't forget that my cousin is a pinnacle ninja! If you have the balls, then go ahead and try to touch the hair on my head! If not, kneel down now!"
"Only a fool will touch just the hair on your head!" Chen Xiaobei's eyes glimmered as he swung his arm at Daisuke Ojima's big mouth.
Bam!
Then a deafening crackling sound ensued.
The unsuspecting Daisuke Ojima spun around a full 3,600 degree and hit the ground so hard that the granite beneath him cracked!
"Argh… It f*cking hurts… You little bastard! How dare you hit me in the face…"
Daisuke Ojima's cultivation was early phase of True Nirvana stage. His body was actually quite tough. But Bro Bei's slap was no joke. His face was smashed in and blood was drizzling down the corner of his lips.
"Oops! You were wrong again! Not only will I hit your face! I will also make sure that you feel pain from your head to your toes!"
Chen Xiaobei laughed almost manically before raising his leg for a kick.
"Who do you think you are? You were only able to hit me because I was taken by surprise! We'll see if you can hit men now!" Daisuke Ojima gritted his teeth, and unleashed all his 30,000 combat power. In an instant, his body was covered in his True Kang.
Bang!
Incredibly, Daisuke Ojima's True Kang shattered like paper mâché at Chen Xiaobei's boot.
"How is that possible?" Confusion washed over Daisuke Ojima. Could it be that the True Kang that he channeled was fake?
He would never know that even though Chen Xiaobei's combat power was only 30,000; he could actually boost his combat power to 39,000 with the help of Primordial Witch King Combat Enhancement Manual since he had 39,000 health with him. That was why he was powerful enough to destroy Daisuke Ojima's True Kang.
"Arghhhh…"
Chen Xiaobei had kicked him right in the stomach.
Daisuke Ojima rolled on the ground, screaming in pain, it felt like his internal organs were going to blow up.
Bam!
Bam!
Bam!
Chen Xiaobei said nothing but trampled repeatedly on Daisuke Ojima's body.
The idiot's face and body was kicked over and over again. And agonizing pain really did course through his body, from his head to his toes!
"Mr. Nikkawa! You're finally here! Hurry! Something bad happened…"
A few hundred of Donchen Ittō-ryū disciples stood at the gate. Terror was written all over their faces.
"What are you guys standing here for? Where is your faction leader?"
Daisuke Ojima's cousin, Nikkawa Daichi had arrived.
"Faction… Faction leader… He was beaten up. We waited for you to come out here because we were too afraid to enter…" The disciples faltered.
"What? Who dares hit my cousin brother? Didn't Ojima mention my name?" Nikkawa Daichi burned with rage.
"He did! He was beaten up because he mentioned you!" the disciples cried.
"What the f*ck?!" the statement only fueled Nikkawa Daichi's anger; now, he was pissed! "They hit him even when they know that Ojima is my cousin?! Are they taunting me? Show me in! I want to shed some blood!"
The disciples said no more. They quickly lead Nikkawa Daichi to the hall.
There were few Jianghu elites in Japan. So, factions like Donchen Ittō-ryū could do whatever they like without anyone standing in their way. What more when the name of a pinnacle ninja was mentioned—other than the emperor, no one dared provoke them.
Whoever that beat up his cousin had no regards for pinnacle ninja—it would be a miracle if Nikkawa Daichi was not outraged!
Bang!
Nikkawa Daichi kicked the door of the hall opened.
His eyes exploded in flames when he saw the scene before him.
A young Chinese man in his twenties was sitting on the master seat in the center of the hall and resting his feet on the faces of two men who were their hands and knees. The one on the left with a bandage wrapped around his face was Umekawa Shichijiro and the one on the right with a swollen face and tattered clothes was his cousin Daisuke Ojima.
"Cou… Cousin, save me… Waaaa…" Daisuke Ojima cried, bursting into tears before he could finish his sentence.
"Did I permit you to speak?" Chen Xiaobei kicked Daisuke Ojima in the face and the wailing stopped.
"You little prick! Are you Chen Zhufeng?" Nikkawa Daichi looked like he wanted to swallow Chen Xiaobei whole. "I give you three seconds to release my cousin or I'll turn you into dust!"
"You want to kill our master? We'll have to kill you first!" Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu got up from their seat and stood protectively in front of Chen Xiaobei.
They were both wearing masks so Nikkawa Daichi did not recognize them.
Nikkawa Daichi snarled, "There seemed to be an increase of imbeciles this year! Who the f*ck gave you balls to speak to me like that?"
Nikkawa Daichi immediately channeled True Qi to his body and a wave-liked True Kang was formed!
Three five-meter-tall Leviathan appeared behind him—staring at the place, putting fear into everyone's heart.
"Wow…" the disciples of Donchen Ittō-ryū who were outside the hall gasped in amazement.
"Is this the power of a pinnacle ninja?! How incredible!"
"This is way cooler than what you see in sci-fi movies!"
"Such powerful True Kang is definitely one hundred times stronger than our faction leader!"
"Oh, what a relief! With Mr. Nikkawa Daichi here, our enemy has nowhere to run! Wahahaha…"
Having seen Nikkawa Daichi's powerful strength, the disciples became excited and impatient to watch Chen Xiaobei and his men viciously butchered by their pinnacle ninja!
Wroom…
Just then, feral flames erupted around Tanaka Tsuyoshi's body and transformed into a five-meters-tall Ifrit.
The flaming golem's dominant presence was no weaker than Nikkawa Daichi's water dragons.
"My god! Am I seeing things? Chen Zhufeng's bodyguard also possess the strength of pinnacle ninja!"
"What a terrifying Ifrit! The space around it seems to be on fire!"
"What the fuck are you guys worried about? Even a kid knows that water beats fire! Even if their cultivation are the same, Mr. Nikkawa Daichi is obviously at an advantage!"
"You're right! Mr. Nikawa is invincible! Mr. Nikkawa will triumph!"
The disciples who were at first shaken by Tanaka Tsuyoshi's cultivation quickly recovered and started chanting, waving their arms—confident in Nikkawa Daichi.
Water puts out fire! That's the order of nature!
Earlier on, Tanaka Tsuyoshi himself had brought up this predicament. But as Chen Xiaobei's loyal hound, if Chen Xiaobei did not pull back, Tanaka Tsuyoshi would not back down—even if he were to lose his life!
"If you are not deaf, then you must have heard what everyone is saying! My strength according to nature's order will devour your strength! There's no need to continue this fight. We all know how this will end!" Nikkawa Daichi eyed Tanaka Tsuyoshi smugly.
"Shut the f*ck up! If my master does not back down, I will not back down! Even if I have to die fighting you!" Tanaka Tsuyoshi was very determined. To him, Chen Xiaobei's will was the ultimatum!
"Tanaka, go ahead and retreat. I'll take care of him!"
Chen Xiaobei stretched his back and stood up unhurriedly.
In his hand was a pristine Green Jade Gourd which he uncorked and drank from it a mouthful of Spiritual Qi.
There were 3,650 Spiritual Stones worth of Qi in the gourd. Chen Xiaobei only swallowed 50 of it, leaving exactly a rounded figure.
"You want to finish me off? Please stop cracking jokes." Nikkawa Daichi rolled his eyes at Chen Xiaobei and chortled, "You are a just a twenty-year-old Chinese kid! I can crush you a million times over with just one thumb!"
"Has this kid lost his mind? How could he say something so stupid?"
"I know, right? How old is he? He wants to beat a pinnacle ninja? What a wishful thinking fool! Hey, I was just thinking of crushing a demigod myself!"
"We shouldn't take this retard seriously. I'm willing to bet that Mr. Nikkawa can send him to hell with just one move!"
The Donchen Ittō-ryū disciples were wagging their tongues, disparaging Chen Xiaobei.
"Hey twat! Did you hear that? Everyone's is cheering for your death! I'd be disappointing the audience if I don't kill you in one move. Die!" Nikkawa Daichi roared.
The three water dragons charged forward with 50,000 combat power and surrounded Chen Xiaobei from left, right and center.
This formidable strength was enough to crush an ordinary person into mincemeat.
But against Chen Xiaobei, it was a waste of energy.
"I also think that one move will suffice."
Chen Xiaobei shrugged, his palm lit up in a burst of golden purple radiance.
Swoosh…
Three water dragons charged at Tanaka Tsuyoshi with no mercy. From the surface, they looked like they were merely made of water. The truth was their bodies were actually tougher than metal! A small hill would be destroyed instantly if all three water dragons landed on it, let alone a mortal being.
"Seemingly, Nikkawa Daichi's mastery towards water element is getting better! I will surely be defeated if I don't do something about the attack!"
Taken aback, Tanaka Tsuyoshi knew that there was nothing he could do about the elements that served kryptonite to him.
"An attack like this is going to tear my body into pieces!" said Cang Jingu, shocked.
Swish!
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobeio's left palm was covered in in golden purple light—turning his palm in a dragon claw!
"What… What the hell is going on? How… How is that even possible?"
Everyone was taken aback when they saw Chen Xiaobei's palm turn into a dragon claw.
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
Swoosh!
It was so powerful that time and space were scarred by it. The three water dragons were decimated like they were made of paper.
"This… This… This…"
Nikkawa Daichi did not expect that things like this would happen to him. One needed to possess 50,000 combat power and above to destroy all three water dragons at the same time.
Could it be the kid that stood in front of them was a Celestial-cultivated elite?
Clearly, Nikkawa Daichi found it really hard to believe that this was actually not a dream. There were only millions of people in Japan. Within them, there were only 24 pinnacle ninjas! Tenshou owned 12 of them and Divine Sovereign Sect owned 12 of them! The ninja above pinnacle ninja was called Enigmatic Ninja! And there were only eight of them in this country! All eight of them were as powerful as elites with Celestial cultivation. As usual, Tenshou owned four of them and Divine Sovereign Sect owned four of them!
Eight of them were the best among the best in Japan and they were all old man in their hundreds. Even the emperor had to show them a good amount of respect. That was why Nikkawa Daichi could not believe that Chen Xiaobei was as powerful as their Enigmatic Ninja. He started to feel like all the training that he had gone through was completely wasted.
Slap!
While Nikkawa Daichi was still dwelling in all the questions that he had in mind, Chen Xiaobei took the opportunity to attack him. The sound of loud slapping shook everyone's eardrum. All of them lifted up their hands and rubbed on their cheeks unconsciously. Just by watching it, they could feel that the pain that Nikkawa Daichi experienced was hell!
"Ah!!!"
The 50,000 combat-power pinnacle ninja was sent flying away by a single slap! Like a spinning top, Nikkawa Daichi spun for a few rounds before he lost his conscious and fell on the ground. Immediately, everyone was left in silence. Earlier, Nikkawa Daichi claimed that he could defeat Chen Xiaobei in one single hit. None of them expected that Chen Xiaobei was powerful enough to turn the tide.
"So powerful! Our master is really powerful!"
Tanaka Tsuyoshi was completely taken aback. He had never seen Chen Xiaobei's true power before. He then gave some thought into it, he would end up like Nikkawa Daichi if Chen Xiaobei landed a slap on him as well. On the other hand, Cang Jingu was definitely calmer than Tanaka Tsuyoshi. He had after all witness the Witch Dragon Transformation on Chen Xiaobei before. Even the Celestial-cultivated elites like Yue Changkong and Zhuang Bihuang were defeated by Chen Xiaobei's dragon claw. There was no way that a pinnacle ninja could survive from it!
Only elites that were above 70,000 combat power had the chance to survive from Chen Xiaobei's Witch Dragon Transformation skill. The thing that Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu did not know was the price that Chen Xiaobei had to pay to wield this enormous power was just too great for one to imagine. The slap that Chen Xiaobei landed on Nikkawa Daichi had cost him 50 Spiritual Stones! That was equivalent to 50 billion RMB! Some of the wealthy families did not even have this amount of money in their bank account.
There was no way that an ordinary human being would be able to afford to use Nine Dragon Transformation skill.
"This is so scary… Mr. Nikkawa was defeated with one a single slap! Who the hell is that kid?"
"Is he a Celestial-cultivated elite? But I didn't see him trigger any Celestial Event!"
"A bunch of idiots! This is not the time to study his cultivation!"
"Run! And don't turn back!"
Hundreds of people in the hall began to run away from Chen Xiaobei. Within ten seconds, the entire hall was completely empty.
"Mr. Chen… Grandpa Chen… Mercy… Mercy please!"
Umekawa Shichijiro and Nikkawa Daichi started to beg Chen Xiaobei to spare their lives in a hysterical manner. A moment ago, they were thinking about killing Chen Xiaobei with only a single hit. After having a taste of Chen Xiaobei's slap, their state of mind was filled with fear that they could not resist. Combat power had always been the iron rule in Jianghu. The weaker one had to succumb to the stronger one no matter what.
"Tanaka! Bring Umekawa Shichijiro home! Ask his uncle, Umekawa Osatake to pay 300 Spiritual Stones for his life!" said Chen Xiaobei.
Clearly, he was not going to spend 50 Spiritual Stones to defeat them without asking some back!
"He will pay you! Let my uncle pay you! All done… Thank you Mr. Chen! Thank you so much…"
Umekawa Shichijiro kept on nodding his head. He felt like he just stepped away from the gate of hell.
"According to what I know, Umekawa Osatake still has a couple of nephews! He will definitely not pay 300 Spiritual Stones for this piece of garbage!" said Tanaka Tsuyoshi.
"I have already said that 300 Spiritual Stones is the final price! Throw his body into the sea if he pays less than that!"
"No! Please don't kill me! I can bring you to the treasure vault of the Umekawa Family! There are around 1,300 Spiritual Stones inside it! You can take all of them as long as you don't kill me!" said Umekawa Shichijiro in a frightened manner.
"Umekawa Osatake is really a retarded fool! I can't believe he chose as you as his successor!" said Chen Xiaobei in a mocking tone.
After that, Chen Xiaobei looked at Tanaka Tsuyoshi. Immediately, Tanaka Tsuyoshi picked Umekawa Shichijiro up to where he stayed.
"Daisuke Ojima, do you want to spend some Spiritual Stones to buy your own life?" said Chen Xiaobei while staring at him with an evil smile.
"Buy… Buy… Buy… I will buy my life! Let me go and get 300 Spiritual Stones for you!"
Immediately, Daisuke Ojima said yes to Chen Xiaobei.
"No! The lives of you and your cousin definitely worth more than that trash, Umekawa Shichijiro!" said Chen Xiaobei while shaking his head.
"How… How much do you want?" asked Daisuke Ojima, taken aback.
"Don't worry! I'm not going to ask too much from you! I think the two of you are worth around 1,000 Spiritual Stones!" replied Chen Xiaobei with an evil smile.
"Master Chen! Mercy please… Our faction is not even that big! 1,000 Spiritual Stones is an astronomical figure for us! We don't even have 500 Spiritual Stones in our faction!"
"No? Then just go and die!"
Right away, Chang Jingu stared at him and started to cover him with his murderous intent.
"Spare our lives please! Please! I'm telling you the truth… It's not that I'm not willing to spend Spiritual Stones to save my own life! I really don't possess that many Spiritual Stones… My life is more important than anything in this world… I dare not to lie to you!"
"Okay… That actually makes sense to me! How about this? Bring me to your treasure vault. I will choose something else other than taking a good amount of Spiritual Stones from you!" said Chen Xiaobei while nodding.
"Okay! Alright! I will lead you there right now!"
Daisuke Ojima could finally let out a sigh of relief. Before absolute power, he knew his place pretty well. Without wasting any time and having wicked intent, he brought Chen Xiaobei and Cang Jingu to the treasure vault right away.
.....
Donchen Ittō-ryū was really one of the smallest faction in Japan. Naturally, their treasure vault was not as big as well. The size of it was similar to the size of a standard room—one-tenth the size of the Zhuang Family's treasure vault. From there, Chen Xiaobei knew that Daisuke Ojima did not lie to him. It was simply not possible for treasure vault this size to house 1,000 Spiritual Stones!
"Master Chen… There are only 450 Spiritual Stones here! You can take everything…"
Daisuke Ojima took out a sandalwood box and placed it in front of Chen Xiaobei. However, Chen Xiaobei chose to ignore him. He was taking his time to scan every single item in the treasure vault.
"450 Spiritual Stones is not even enough to buy your life! Look at this mini treasure vault! Prepare to die if my master fails to look for the things that he wants!" said Cang Jingu while glaring at Daisuke Ojima.
"Mercy please… Please don't kill us… I beg you…"
Out of fear, Daisuke Ojima kneeled on the ground without any second thought.
"It's useless to kneel down in front of us! You are the one that bring this onto yourself! You should have expect this ending when you and Umekawa Shichijiro plotted against my master!" said Chang Jingu.
"I'm at fault… I will not do it anymore… Master Chen… Just take everything in this treasure vault! That should be enough to make up the 50 Spiritual Stones! I really don't want to die!"
"All these items here are just trash! I'm afraid my master will not be satisfied by them!"
"Eh?"
Suddenly, Chen Xiaobei's attention caught by something.
In a pile of medicinal ingredients, Chen Xiaobei noticed something that looked like black ginger.
"It's a Cloud Dyed Fruit! Judging from its size, I think it is at least 1,000 years old! Finally! Something good! This trip is definitely worthwhile! My luck is not failing me! This is awesome!" said Chen Xiaobei with both eyes lit up.
The piece of medical ingredient had a very smooth surface and the lines on it could be seen clearly. From far, it actually, look like a black cloud. As Chen Xiaobei was speaking Mandarin, Daisuke Ojima could not understand what he was talking about.
However, Cang Jingu could understand every single word that Chen Xiaobei just said. Immediately, he asked in Mandarin, "Bro Bei, what is that thing? Why did you get so excited over it?"
After all, Chen Xiaobei just stole everything from the Zhuang Family's treasure vault! He had seen all kind of treasures. He did not even get so excited when he sold all the antiques for 3,000 Spiritual Stones. From here, Cang Jingu could see that the Cloud Dyed Fruit was extremely valuable to Chen Xiaobei.
"This is one of the ingredients to concoct Skybreaking Cultivation Pill! It's an extremely rare Spiritual Fruit! And this is exactly the thing that I need the most right now!" said Chen Xiaobei with fervor.
The Skybreaking Cultivation Pill allowed one to break through to their next level of cultivation instantly. No matter the cultivation, as long as the person reached the pinnacle phase of their current cultivation, they could use it to advance to their next cultivation. Awhile ago, Luo Puti was stuck at Pinnacle Phase of Qi refining stage for a few years. In the end, a small piece of Skybreaking Cultvation Pill helped her reach True Nirvana cultivation within minutes! As for Xiangyu, he too had stuck at pinnacle phase of True Nirvana stage for a very long time. In the end, one third of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill had managed to help him enter Celestial cultivation!
Judging from all that past matters, it was extremely important for Chen Xiaobei to concoct as many of it as possible before becoming a demigod. Not only had he done it for himself but also his family and friends. Before this, Chen Xiaobei had already acquired the Giant Dragon Ginseng and Thousand Year-Old White Jade Ganorderma. And now, the Cloud Dyed Fruit. He just needed two more ingredients to start concocting the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill.
Right now, Focker was trying his best to collect as much intel as possible. And the other four loyals dogs with Celestial cultivation were doing the same as well. With their status and position, they still could not acquire any news about the remaining ingredients that Chen Xiaobei needed. It was enough to prove the rarity of all those ingredients. Now, he only needed a third of the Skybreaking Cultivation Pill to achieve Celestial cultivation. That was why he was so excited about it.
Cough!
Cough!
Though he was excited about it, he still had to finish what he came here for.
He then tucked away his smile and said, "This medical ingredient and 450 Spiritual Stones are enough for me to spare your life! As for your cousin, I have to bring him with me!"
"This… Can you let me cousin go as well?" Daisuke Ojima pleaded weakly.
"Sure! Just bring me another 500 Spiritual Stones and I will let him go!"
The truth was Chen Xiaobei knew that he would not be able to pay him another 500 Spiritual Stones. After all. Nikkawa Daichi was the key for Chen Xiaobei to carry on with his task.
"I… I don't have any Spiritual Stones with me anymore… Just bring him with you…"
At a critical moment like this, his cowardice allowed him to make the decision without any hesitation.
"Alright! Done!"
With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei took the Cloud Dyed Fruit and the box that used to keep Spiritual Stones. He then left the place with Cang Jingu and the unconscious Nikkawa Daichi.
In the car.
"Bro Bei, are you planning to feed the Heavenly Dog Biscuit to him?" asked Cang Jingu.
All Chen Xiaobei did was shake his head and not say a word about it.
"Brother Bei! Don't keep us in suspense!" Cang Jingu's curiosity was piqued and could not help but ask, "Didn't you catch Nikkawa Daichi to get into the palace? How are we supposed to do that if we don't feed him the Heavenly Dog Biscuit?"
Cen Xiaobei chuckled and said, "You moron! It would be a waste to feed the biscuit to this sort of numbskull! Except for his Celestial cultivation, he is not qualified to eat my biscuit!"
"But, if he doesn't eat the biscuit, then he would not be 100% loyal. What if something terrible happens?" Cang Jingu asked.
Chen Xiaobei answered with a question, "Did you notice that this idiot's body size is similar to mine?"
"Body size? Are you planning to masquerade as him and sneak into the palace yourself?"
Having been with Chen Xiaobei for a while now, Cang Jingu immediately understood Chen Xiaobei's game plan.
"That's right!" Chen Xiaobei nodded and then took out the spirit cage.
Wooo!
When the lid was opened, a violet Wight emerged from the spirit cage.
It was called a Wight because its evil intention was suppressed.
Moreover, its appearance was strange—it had a long nose like Pinocchio, mouth like an eagle's, ears like a dog's, and a pair of wings on its back!
That's right, it was the Eight-Star Wight Qie Loulan Chen Xiaobei had captured earlier.
Chen Xiaobei had thought that it looked very much like a Japanese monster called the Tengu.
But other than its own name, the Wight remembered nothing from its past. Whether or not it was a Tengu was a question mark.
"So cold…" Cang Jingu could not see Qie Loulan but was immediately attacked by the cold breeze. Not even an elite with 30,000 health could withstand the cold.
A small part of this Yin Qi came from Qie Loulan; a large part of it came from the Dark Purple Rosary in Chen Xiaobei's hidden compartment of Sui Generis Dragon artifact.
This rosary was a Spiritual Item. Even Chen Xiaobei whose health was 39,000 could feel the cold all the way in his bones.
Creak!
Chen Xiaobei shut the spirit cage and locked up the Yin Qi. Otherwise, they would not be able to take it anymore.
"Phew…"
Cang Jingu let out a sigh of relief and turned his attention back to steering the wheel.
"Brother Bei! Why did you let me? Is there a problem?" Qie Loulan asked
Chen Xiaobei did not dive straight into business but instead asked concernedly, "How is your wound?"
"My wounds have almost fully healed," Qie Loulan said. "The Yin Qi from the rosary can synchronize perfectly with my body! With it, my wounds will heal before I know it!"
Qie Loulan had mentioned that it had awoken from a deep, long sleep because it was felt the lure of the rosary. In fact, Qie Loulan had a strong feeling that it belonged to him.
"Mm… Since your wound has healed, I have a task for you."
Chen Xiaobei said, "Have you mastered the art of disguise that I gave you?"
Qie Loulan nodded eagerly. "Don't underestimate me, Brother Bei! I am an Eight-Star Wight! I learned it as I recovered!"
"Very good!" Chen Xiaobei pointed to the back of the car and said, "Look at this idiot's face and make a mask for me ASAP."
"No problem! I can complete it before nightfall!" Qie Loulan said confidently.
"That's great! I'm running short of time! I will contact Li Xiang and then we'll make a move tonight!" Chen Xiaobei was thrilled.
Thankfully, he captured Qie Loulan. If not, they would not be able to come up with plan B.
Qie Loulan immediately got to work. If flew next to Nikkawa Daichi and began constructing a mask for Chen Xiaobei.
Chen Xiaobei was already dialing Li Xiang's number but was directed to a recording that informed him "The number you have dialed is not available."
Chen Xiaobei tried again but to no avail.
"That's strange! This is the crucial moment of our plan! LI Xiang should not have turned off his phone!" Chen Xiaobei was distressed.
"Did something happen?" Cang Jingu asked instinctively.
"That is very likely!" Chen Xiaobei frowned and said, "Li Xiang has always been very meticulous. There's no way he would have forgotten to charge his phone. If his phone was turned off, then he's probably in trouble!"
"What should we do?" Cang Jingu started to panic.
Ring—
Someone's phone rang but it was not Chen Xiaobei's. It was Nikkawa Daichi's.
"Huh?" Chen Xiaobei took out the phone and answered the call using True Sound.
"Hello?"
"Commander Nikkawa! Something happened in the palace!" a worried voice came from the other side of the phone.
"What is it?" Chen Xiaobei asked mimicking Nikkawa Daichi's every intonation.
The person the line explained, "It's like this, a royal chef reported that a Chinese man is plotting against the Royal Family! We were ordered to catch the man!"
"Royal chef reporting?"
Chen Xiaobei brows raised in surprise.
Li Xiang's initial plan was to enter the palace by bribing the royal chef to let them in.
But last night, the royal chef reneged and refused to help Li Xiang get in.
Who knew that this guy would report Li Xiang early today morning?
"Commander Nikkawa, did you hear what I said?"
"I heard you!" Chen Xiaobei composed himself and asked, "Is the royal chef's word reliable?"
"It is!" The guy on the other end said, "The royal chef told everything. He gave us detailed information about the Chinese man. We have confirmed that such a man exists! The Crown Prince has ordered us to arrest this man once you return!"
"The crown prince?" Chen Xiaobei immediately flashed back to the time he was swindled of 8,000 Spiritual Stones by that f*cker, Nikkawa Daichi!
Nikkawa Daichi wanted to capture Li Xiang now but Chen Xiaobei's mask was not ready yet.
Chen Xiaobei thought for a while and replied, "Go tell the Crown Prince that his wedding is near. Capturing people during the day is not a good move. We may even inadvertently alert our enemy! I suggest that we do it at night!"
"That makes a lot of sense, Commander. I will report back to the Crown Prince immediately!" The person on the other end replied and then hung up.
After a minute, he called Chen Xiaobei again and confirmed that Nikkawa Daichi agreed that they would make a move in the evening.
After that, Chen Xiaobei asked Cang Jingu to stop the car by the road.
They carried the unconscious Nikkawa Daichi into a barren mountain forest and waited for the sun to set!
"There's nothing for me to do now. Keep watch of Nikkawa Daichi. I will train for a few hours."
Chen Xiaobei valued time very much and did not like wasting even a single second.
It just happened that he had not trained using the Scripture of Heaven and Earth for a long time now. He would just take this opportunity to do it. Besides, he might even be able to contact the Prime of Tongtian.
