After hearing their friend's introduction, this middle-aged couple realized that conventional medical methods couldn't wake up their daughter. Therefore, they had no choice but to seek out these two individuals.
When the two men saw the girl, they informed the couple that her soul was gone and might still be in China. At this point, the middle-aged couple recalled the haunting incident at the villa, which made the two men even more certain that Zhang Xin's soul had remained in China. This is why they decided to make this trip.
Upon arriving here, they learned that the villa was already sold, leaving them with no choice but to contact Xiao Jingru and Jin Xianglin. However, after a thorough search at Xiao Yu’s place today, they found nothing regarding their daughter's soul, which left them extremely disappointed.
When they came here, since Xiao Yu wasn't around, they first went elsewhere to look for clues but ended up with nothing. Now that there was no lead here either, they were at a loss as to what to do next.
The two masters had told them that if the soul of their daughter couldn’t be found in this place, it would likely mean she wouldn't wake up for the rest of her life.
Therefore, when these two heard that the masters hadn't located their daughter's soul, they were so upset.
"Right, Masters, just now there was a locked basement. Do you think my daughter might be in there" As these two cultivators walked past the door, this middle-aged man suddenly remembered the basement. When they first arrived, its door had been locked, so they hadn't gone inside. In such a large villa, his daughter wasn’t necessarily hiding there.
But now that they've searched everywhere and found nothing, in their disappointment, they thought about the basement again. At the time, they didn't pay attention to corners like that; but now it's different. That unremarkable corner is their last hope.
The two masters froze for a moment upon hearing this middle-aged man’s words and then exchanged glances before nodding involuntarily.
They had also considered this possibility. In terms of the entire villa, that place was the darkest spot and the one with the densest malevolent energy. When they were at Xiao Yu's villa, they felt that the positive energy there was weakest, but a small basement locked up didn't seem important.
"Mr. Zhang, we also think it necessary to take a look!" The two walked back from the door and said.
However, this middle-aged man immediately hit a snag. They had just left someone’s place and now wanted to check out their basement again. What could they possibly say Just now, when asking if they could return to the old house because of nostalgia, it was different from wanting to look at the basement. How should they explain themselves
The middle-aged man also voiced this concern to the two individuals, and upon hearing his words, they fell into deep thought. It would certainly be impossible to simply go to someone's house to check their basement; not only might they not be allowed in, but there was also the question of what excuse they could use.
"Mr. Zhang, add another ten thousand dollars, and my senior brother and I will sneak over at night to have a look!" After some time had passed, these two exchanged glances before one of them, an older cultivator surnamed Huang, spoke to the middle-aged man.
"Great, great! Money is no issue; it's up to Senior Master Huang and Senior Master Wang!" Upon hearing this proposal, the middle-aged man hesitated not at all but immediately agreed. To him, money was just a string of numbers; an extra ten thousand US dollars or a lesser amount made little difference.
Seeing that the middle-aged man had accepted their offer, the two turned and left.
About one in the morning, when people were sleeping soundly and deeply, two shadows slipped out from beside Jin Xianglin's wall at the blind spots of cameras placed by security guards.
These two dark figures were the cultivators who decided to sneak into Xiao Yu’s house that night to investigate his basement. After scaling over Jin Xianglin’s walls, they set off in the direction of Xiao Yu’s residence.
"Senior brother, be careful!" Just as the two reached the vicinity of the front gate, one person's expression changed suddenly and he quietly pulled on his companion.
"What is it, junior" This man was startled when grabbed but also whispered back.
The younger disciple didn't speak after hearing this; instead, he drew his senior brother behind a car and pointed forward with his hand.
Following the direction indicated by his junior's hand, he narrowed his eyes slightly upon seeing what was there and quickly hid himself.
It turned out that on Xiao Yu’s other side of the house, several black figures were scaling over the wall to enter into Xiao Yu’s home. Seeing this situation, these two exchanged glances in confusion, unsure what was going on.
But regardless of circumstances, now wasn't a time for them to move forward any further; yet they couldn’t simply turn back either. So they hid behind the car and peered through the front gate at Xiao Yu's house.
"Eh Ninjas" When they saw those who had climbed over the walls, both of them exclaimed in surprise.
"Snap... Just as these ninjas were approaching Xiao Yu's villa, several large lamps in the courtyard suddenly lit up. Immediately after, there was a soft sound, and the door of the villa opened from inside. A figure slowly walked out of the house. When both people saw this dark shadow, they all slightly hesitated. The black shadow that walked out of the house was precisely Xiao Yu. At this moment, Xiao Yu looked at these ninjas with a cold expression, his eyes revealing hints of killing intent.
At this time, Xiao Yu stood in front of the villa's door, holding a long katana-like sword in his left hand.
Actually, when these ninjas approached Xiao Yu's villa just now, they were discovered by Xiao Yu. Moreover, Xiao Yu also sensed waves of primordial energy from some of the ninjas' bodies, indicating that among this group of people, there were a few who were not ordinary ninjas.
Also, Xiao Yu had just returned from Sichuan Province, and when he recalled the scene in that base, the killing intent on his body couldn't help but emerge.
If he hadn't seen Japanese people, Xiao Yu's killing intent could still be hidden. But when they appeared before him, his killing intent surfaced involuntarily, let alone last time he spared them out of compassion. He didn’t expect these people to dare come again and even bring some cultivators.
Upon sensing these cultivators, Xiao Yu's murderous intentions toward these people were fully released. He was not afraid of these people, but his family members couldn't be put in danger. Now, although these people hadn't gone looking for his family members yet, given the Japanese temperament, if they failed to achieve their goal here, they would definitely seek out Xiao Yu's family.
If it were just ordinary ninjas, there was no need to fear them as long as those elders were with him. But now that there are some cultivators involved, this has become a threat to his family members, which is something Xiao Yu absolutely cannot tolerate. Even if these ninjas didn't intend to harm his family members, once they saw the threat, he had no intention of letting them off.
"If they want to find Muramasa, I'll use this sword to send them on their way!" When Xiao Yu sensed that these people appeared near his place, a decision was made in his heart. That's why he returned to the tomb and took out this sword.
When he saw these ninjas come back again, he knew they were not worth pitying or else it might sow some disaster.
The ninjas who were sprinting towards Xiao Yu’s villa were startled by the sudden commotion. Although many people came this time, knowing that China was full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers, they didn't dare come openly; only after dark did they plan to arrive here.
After Kōzawa Shijirō returned to Japan, his health never recovered well. After doctors failed to cure him, he thought about the ghosts he had encountered before and used family connections to find a shaman. The shaman immediately diagnosed his condition and also knew about the Demon Sword Muramasa.
It's worth noting that the Demon Sword Muramasa was one of the royal treasures in Japan back then, which the emperor gave to General Tōjō as a gift when invading China. Later on, this sword disappeared somewhere within China.
The shaman Kōzawa found also belonged to the Japanese royal family, so news about the Demon Sword Muramasa reached the ears of the Japanese emperor. Although he didn't know whether it was real or not, anything related to the demon sword could not be taken lightly, thus leading to this trip to China.
Heng川 Jirō suffered a significant loss here and even lost half of his yang energy, so he dispatched his family's elite forces along with the yin-yang masters sent by the royal family to reclaim the Muramasa sword and seek revenge on Xiāo Yù.
The ninjas looked at Xiāo Yù standing on the steps before the villa and saw the knife in his hand as well.
When they saw this knife, their faces showed a hint of ecstasy. Although it was not close up, they had a feeling that this was the real demon sword Muramasa they were looking for.
"Hand over the Muramasa and we will spare your life!" These ninjas said in broken Chinese as they looked at Xiāo Yù.
After saying these words, they glanced around and seeing nothing unusual, turned their gaze back to Xiāo Yù.
Xiāo Yù, standing on the steps with his sword drawn, sneered upon hearing this ninja's words. "What if I don’t hand it over"
"Refuse Don't blame us for our actions then… Go! Whoever retrieves the Muramasa first will be rewarded upon our return to Japan!" Upon hearing Xiāo Yù’s words, this ninja revealed a cruel smile.
"Kai" the ninjas chorused in agreement and fixed their gaze on Xiāo Yù.
A series of crisp metallic sounds followed as these ninjas drew their katana from their waists. Although they were unsure about Xiāo Yù’s capabilities, his unflinching face despite facing so many of them indicated that he was likely a formidable opponent.
Moreover, there might still be spirits around here; thus, they had to be cautious. Even though several yin-yang masters accompanied them this time, they were not taking any chances.
The sound of clashing swords echoed as Xiāo Yù watched the ninjas with a chilling smile slowly drawing his sword.
As Xiāo Yù’s demon sword was unsheathed and a cold light flashed, instead of fear, these ninjas' eyes sparkled with excitement upon seeing this glint. he might know things others didn’t, Zhou Tai and Yang Mu asked him.Since Du Ziping was deep in thought with a furrowed brow, he did not answer their question. Seeing his serious expression, they refr...
