The Ninja sneered coldly, angrily stating, "You think you’re deserving of knowing about Lord Hattori? In your dreams!"
Ren Feifan slapped him. Even though he didn’t use his True Qi, the Ninja was still left disoriented.
If the opponent’s strength wasn’t above that of an Earth Ninja, they would not have been this troublesome.
He relished the opportunity to give such a blow to an Eastern ninja.
"You Huaxia dogs, someday you’ll all be slaughtered by us from the Great Eastern Empire! All your men will be killed and your women will become our sex..."
His words were abruptly cut off!
The Falling Dust Descending Dragon sword moved slightly, sending out a burst of Sword Qi. The Ninja was instantly executed.
Head separated from the body!
For these Easterners, he had no mercy!
"Really can’t understand where this inexplicable confidence of Easterners comes from?"
Ren Feifan muttered to himself and took the Falling Dust Descending Dragon sword back to its space.
He then used the Body Dissolving Liquid to destroy the corpses.
Having done all this, he walked up to Luo Yin in the corner and asked, "How are you feeling?"
At this moment, Luo was wide-eyed. She never expected that Ren Feifan had grown so much more formidable in such a short time!
Suddenly, she felt that being under this man’s command might be an honor rather than a disgrace.
"I’m alright, thank you for your help, master."
Ren Feifan nodded, glanced at the entrance to the cellar with a smile, and said, "The one who knows the information is here. Let’s go."
When Ren Feifan and Luo Yin entered the hall, they found a pair of almost identical twins sitting there.
One was icy and aloof, the other was gentle and charming.
Nozawa Yamari had arrived!
Ren Feifan looked at Nozawa Yamari, dressed in leather and exuding cold beauty, and smiled.
"Nozawa Yamari, what have you learned? I hope it’s good news."
Nozawa Yamari nodded her head, respectfully bowing to Ren Feifan and said, "Hi... Master!"
Nozawa Haruko, standing next to her, widened her eyes in shock. Her always proud sister was calling this Huaxia man master?
For them, Eastern women, it was a highly humiliating way to talk!
Their Eastern residents are so noble, how can they possibly call a humble Huaxia person "Master".
Nozawa Haruko thought this way, entirely due to the influence of Eastern textbooks and the will of the Eastern Emperor.
Almost all Easterners would think this way.
"Sister, how can you call this guy..." Nozawa Haruko protested.
Before she could finish, Nozawa Yamari slapped her sister across the face, chastising her,
"You must not disrespect the master. Remember, you too will address him as Master!"
The younger sister nearly started crying. In the East Ocean Nation, younger sisters must obey their elder sisters, so she hadn’t dared defy her sister’s will since she was young.
But now her sister was making her call this Huaxia man master?
She looked at Ren Feifan, hesitated for a few seconds, then in a mosquito-like voice called out, "Master..."
She couldn’t be more aggrieved.
Ren Feifan nodded and then asked, "Any news regarding Hattori?"
Nozawa Yamari straightened up and said earnestly, "The day after tomorrow is the annual Emperor’s ceremony in the East Ocean Nation. During the ceremony, Hattori will be officially named Earth Emperor by the High Priest, second only to the Eastern Emperor in power.
He naturally won’t bring that sword on such a day, but his residence will be heavily guarded and filled with numerous experts. If we were to go then, it would be akin to walking straight into a trap.
So, I suggest we act tomorrow afternoon. Tomorrow, Hattori will be going to the shrine for a ceremony."
"There will be an hour when Hattori is unguarded. His residence will relatively weaken its defenses during this time. Tomorrow afternoon at 3 o’clock would be our best opportunity."
"Alright, we’ll act at three in the afternoon tomorrow."
Ren Feifan was determined to take the Saint Doctor’s Gate sword.
"Master, keep in mind that after you kill these experts around Hattori, he will surely notice. Given Hattori’s suspicious nature, he may sense something. We must be prepared for the worst-case scenario."
"Understood." Ren Feifan nodded in acknowledgment.
Meanwhile, in a courtyard covering several thousand square feet in the East Ocean.
Hattori Morizang was polishing a longsword in his hand.
The blade was incomparably sharp, its pattern distinct. Every iota of it was precisely made, and a hint of True Qi even seeped out from the sword.
Three characters were engraved on the surface of the blade, appearing to spell out "Saint Doctor’s Gate".
Hattori Morizang looked at the sword in his hands, his eyes flickering with a gloomy light before muttering to himself, "Saint Doctor’s Gate, hah! You killed thousands of my Eastern warriors in the past and inflicted heavy injuries on hundreds of our elite fighters. Had it not been for the intervention of the Yaochi deity, perhaps our entire Eastern Empire would have perished at the hands of this Huaxia man who proclaimed himself to be from Saint Doctor’s Gate.
But once I am coronated as the Emperor the day after tomorrow and gain the right to control the three divine relics of the East Ocean, I will surely invade Huaxia and obliterate the entire nation!"
Suddenly, an elderly man dressed in a kimono walked in. He was thin and pale, reminiscent of a character from an Eastern horror film.
"Mr. Hattori, there’s a problem."
Hattori Morizang frowned. His anxiety grew as his coronation approached.
"This afternoon, a Huaxia cultivator appeared near our courtyard. He appears to be at the peak of cultivation, though he was wounded by our ninjas and used a secret technique to escape. Naturally, our ninjas pursued him underground, but they have not returned yet and have completely disappeared, like they evaporated into thin air."
"A Huaxia cultivator?"
Hattori Morizang’s eyes narrowed, a murderous intent welling up within him. He loathed Huaxia cultivators with his every fiber.
But why did a Huaxia cultivator appear at such a crucial time?
And it seemed like those subordinates of his may have already died!
He had a bad feeling about this! Could this Huaxia cultivator be planning to disrupt his coronation, preventing him from obtaining the three divine artifacts of the East Ocean?
Or was he here for this sword?
As the leader, he had to consider every possibility. After a few seconds of contemplation, he ordered, "Have the Formation master set up a great killing formation here! Everyone must follow the prescribed route when entering or leaving! On the day of my coronation, we must have a heavy security presence! Also, call some ninjas back from the sea, have them appear at the palace on the day of the coronation. Arrange for some people to go with me to the shrine tomorrow."
The old man nodded and quickly retreated.
The day after, Hattori Morizang had to visit the shrine to pay his respects and complete rituals as a part of his coronation pre-warming ceremony.
After delegating his tasks, Hattori Morizang promptly started for the shrine accompanied by his entourage.
The shrine was located on Fushi Mountain in the East Ocean region, and it was a short distance away. With the journey and the ceremony each taking half an hour, Ren Feifan and his team only had an hour.
Before Ren Feifan could step inside the courtyard, he felt a wave of murderous intent coming from within.
He withdrew his extended foot, as it was clear that there was a massive formation activated here!
The formation was not much of a challenge for Ren Feifan.
A quick scan and Ren Feifan had located the eye of the formation.
With his fingers forming a gesture, he projected a stream of True Qi into the formation’s center, quickly obliterating its energy. The fluctuation of formation energy in the entire courtyard vanished in an instant.
"Stay here and watch. Inform me mentally if anything unusual happens."
Ren Feifan instructed Luo Yin.
The two, having formed a Blood Covenant, could communicate using their minds within an effective distance.
Having given the instruction, Ren Feifan began to venture inside.
(I’ll post another Chapter this afternoon. I’m working on it right now. Expect another one tonight as well.)
