Chapter 570: To j.a.pan!
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Ye Chen was surprised by Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko’s call.
He treated her like a p.a.w.n, a p.a.w.n that was planted in j.a.pan. He did not have much hope from her since the beginning.
Unexpectedly, it turned out to be a case of unintentional success.
Hence, Ye Chen could not help but ask after receiving her call, “Have you found out about the foreign fragment?”
The foreign fragment was Night Demon’s fragment!
So far, he had more than ten pieces in his possession, but the largest piece with Night Demon’s consciousness was still missing.
“Y-Yes!”
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko stuttered, “I’ve collected more than 20 of them. The biggest one is in j.a.pan!”
Ye Chen’s eyes shone brightly when he heard that.
“I found its whereabouts five days ago, so I secretly sent someone to steal it. I didn’t expect the operation to fail, and the matter to be exposed.”
Chiba Yos.h.i.+ko said in a trembling voice, “At the same time, I was also discovered by my family. If not for Master Miyamoto’s help, I’m afraid I would’ve been captured by my family!”
“Where are you now?” Ye Chen asked immediately.
“I’m currently on an island near Kyushu Island. I’ll send you the detailed address later. Master, you-you have to hurry. The family has gotten their people to search for me.”
“Okay, wait for me. I’ll be there soon!”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen lifted his eyes and looked to the northeast. His gaze shot straight into the sky and he could not hide the excitement inside of him.
‘Night Demon!
Just you wait, I’ll come save you soon!’
…
At the same time, something was happening in one of the two major towns in j.a.pan. It was Reigao, the place that was named the sacred land of Buddhism in j.a.pan!
To the outsiders, Reigao was a mysterious place. It was because in countless cultures, there would often be many powerful exorcists who could perform hand seals and chanted incantations. These people were all from Reigao!
There were more than a hundred temples erected on Mount Koya that was filled with ancient trees.
In the past, Mount Koya had always been extremely solemn, but now, there was a continuous ringing of bells. All the temples were brightly lit.
Countless monks in white robes sat on the mats with their eyes closed. They had a solemn expression as they chanted.
In the largest temple, there were three old monks looking serious as they sat around a black stream of light. The three of them formed a large hand seal and chanted. The sutras echoed like thunder.
A white lotus tightly wrapped around the black stream of light. However, if one took a closer look, they would realize that the white lotus would expand and shrink, as if something was struggling inside.
“You freaking baldies are trying to cleanse me with your meager skills? You’re underestimating your daddy Night Demon, aren’t you? Watch how I tear down your lousy temple!”
A thunderous sound came from the white lotus, and the white lotus on the ground exploded. The three old monks spat blood on the spot, their faces filled with shock!
Before they could react, a black stream of light shot out from within. The black stream of light transformed into a huge iron ball that rampaged through the entire temple. Countless Buddha statues were shattered upon contact, and countless monks died on the spot. It was killing everything that was in its way!
At that moment, a tattered robe descended from the sky. It grew in the wind and immediately enveloped the iron ball before landing in the hands of a white-browed old monk.
“Amitabha, good gracious!”
The white-browed old monk held a monk staff in his hand and monk blind shoes. He looked like an angry Vajra, “This is a sacred land of peace and quiet. How dare a demon like you do as you please?!”
“Greetings, Wisdom King!”
“Greetings, Wisdom King!”
Instantly, countless people were pleasantly surprised. They pressed their palms together at the white-browed old monk with reverence.
The three old monks immediately went forward and bowed, “Wisdom King, this demon is truly wild and untamed. The three of us gathered the power of the entire monastery, but we still can’t cleanse it. Instead, it has committed many sins!”
“I know that!”
The white-browed old monk shook his head slightly and said, “All of you should retreat for the time being. Set up the Vajra Subduing Devil Formation outside the hall and let me cleanse it personally!”
…
Even though it was urgent, Ye Chen suppressed the urge to head to j.a.pan. After all, it was late at night and he still needed to talk to his family.
He contacted the Gu family after he hung up the phone. He prepared his pa.s.sport overnight and reminded Lin Tai and Yang Tian on things to take note of when he was away before he returned home to discuss with Su Yuhan and the rest.
His daughter’s birthday will happen in a few days!
His and Su Yuhan’s original plan was to stay at home peacefully and celebrate their daughter’s birthday. Now that he had to leave, although Su Yuhan was a little upset about it, she agreed after Ye Chen’s persuasion.
However, Ye Chen was given a time limit now!
He must return before his daughter’s birthday!
Naturally, Ye Chen agreed to that.
The next morning, he rejected his family’s offer to escort him. With his pa.s.sport and other doc.u.ments, he stepped onto the cruise that led to Kyushu, and he became a tourist on a trip to Nagasaki.
Although winter was coming, that did not deter the people from traveling, especially traveling to j.a.pan. As soon as Ye Chen stepped onto the cruise, he heard countless people sharing their purpose of going to j.a.pan.
“We’re getting married and going to Hokkaido for our honeymoon!”
“I can die in peace after I’ve travelled to Hokkaido for a week to see the snowy plains and the lavender fields in Furano!”
“It’s almost winter. The cherry blossoms on Mount Fuji must have gotten prettier.”
“…”
While Ye Chen was smiling, he realized that there were quite a number of cultivators on the cruise s.h.i.+p. They were dressed like ordinary people. Some of them looked serious while some were chatting happily. There were even some were looking around, curious about everything.
He shook his head secretly and found his seat. Before he could get close, two young men in suits blocked his way, “Brat, you’re not allowed to go further!”
“My seat is over there. So, excuse me!” Ye Chen frowned slightly.
The leading young man did not move. He said expressionlessly, “We’ve reserved the seats at the back. Change your ticket!
I repeat, get out of the way!”
The smile on Ye Chen’s face gradually dimmed.
At that moment, a cold voice came, “Luo Tian, Luo Di, you guys back off. Let this man pa.s.s through!”
“Copy that!”
The two young men acknowledged and retreated to the side respectfully.
Ye Chen looked in the direction of the voice and saw two young men sitting across him. One of them had sharp brows and bright eyes with an extraordinary charisma. Meanwhile, the other was extremely handsome. He had a hint of coolness and his crystal-like eyes were filled with spirit.
They were cultivators!
Not only that, they were very powerful!
Ye Chen immediately sensed the cultivation fluctuations on the two of them. He walked to his seat quietly and sat down. When he looked again, he realized that the first three rows and the last three rows around him were people from the cultivation world. Moreover, they seemed to be led by the two young men.
