"Godfather, we can't say this directly!"
Wang Zhian, who was usually nonchalant, almost burst into tears, his gaze involuntarily falling on Fang Zong.
"Can't you just say it directly? And... keep it from A-Zong?" Old Wang was puzzled by his adopted son's expression, because if it was a matter of high rank, the only person here who was on the same level as him was Fang Zong.
He is the current captain of the Ghost Slayer Squad, and Fang Zong is taking over today, so it's impossible to hide it from anyone but Fang Zong...
"Just say it directly." Old Wang didn't want Fang Zong to have any misunderstandings.
"Oh well."
Wang Zhian gave a wry smile: "It was supposed to be good news, but with what happened today... I'll tell you!" He struck a pose as if he were ready to flee at any moment, not caring that anyone here could easily crush him like an ant. "The Japanese underworld and Yasuo's demon army fought fiercely for three days and three nights, with both sides suffering heavy losses. Just this morning, the great demons under Yasuo's command betrayed him and became shikigami for Abe no Haru's onmyoji. Yasuo suffered a crushing defeat and fled Japan, disappearing without a trace."
"What!" Fang Zong's eyes widened in surprise: "Where is the Dao artifact Orochimaru?"
"The other seven demons that controlled Orochimaru have had their minds erased by Yasuo, so Orochimaru disappeared along with Yasuo."
As soon as Wang Zhian finished speaking, the entire hall erupted into chaos.
Orochimaru is to Japan what the Three Elements Earth Cauldron is to the Eastern Kingdom; although it is an extremely malevolent artifact, it can also suppress the nation's destiny.
What's even more terrifying is that this artifact can be used by Yasuo, so the great generals all want to know—
Are they also able to use this artifact?
"Unfortunately, I am in a sealed-off area within the sect that I am suppressing, and I cannot leave my body. If I were to use an external avatar, my strength would not be sufficient."
"I'm the same way, that Dao artifact..."
"No matter what, we cannot let Orochimaru fall into Abe no Haru's hands. The Heavenly Murakumo Sword and Orochimaru together form a complete Dark Prison Artifact, capable of breaking through the defenses of the Three Elements Earth Cauldron and directly attacking our nation's destiny!"
The generals spoke one after another, all realizing the seriousness of the situation.
Fang Zong narrowed his eyes, pondered carefully, and then looked at Old Wang. He walked over and slowly took off the trench coat that represented the captain of the Ghost Slayer Squad.
"Old Wang, it seems you have to hold on for a while longer."
Fang Zong only said one sentence, and Old Wang nodded in approval.
Once Fang Zong takes over as captain, he can rest easy, and without his spiritual pillar to continue supporting him, he will directly become a military spirit and be pulled into the Military Soul Valley by the Eastern Kingdom's great fortune. In this way, only Fang Zong can command the Ghost Killing Team. As captain, Fang Zong must stay in the Eastern Kingdom and cannot leave the border even a step.
However, the matter of Orochimaru clearly piqued Fang Zong's interest...
"This is also very important. If you want to do it, then do it, but please be careful."
Old Wang earnestly instructed Fang Zong: "No country that is hostile to our Eastern Kingdom will give up the opportunity to kill the future captain of our Ghost Killing Team."
"It won't be easy to kill me silently."
Fang Zong couldn't help but laugh.
Behind him is the Eastern Kingdom Demon Slayer Corps, so many people want to deal with him.
However, because of the Demon Slayer Corps behind him, no powerful figure from any country dared to show up and kill him. That would be a war that would destroy the country and stain the ocean with blood!
"A powerful nation is truly a support for everyone." As Fang Zong left the headquarters of the Ghost Slayer Corps, he was thinking about these things. When he came to his senses, he found himself already in the sky above the East China Sea.
"Meow!"
Hu Batian stretched and jumped out of his arms, still looking a little sleepy: "This cat-like master can feel the strong scent of water. You're at sea?" He greedily inhaled the purest water vapor from beneath the sea's surface.
"How strong are you?" Fang Zong asked.
"The Fifth Transformation: The Transformation of All Beings... Wait! Meow!"
Tiger Overlord cried out in alarm: "You must compensate me! You absolutely must compensate me! To change the climate of the Loess Plateau, although I am still at the Transformation of All Beings realm, I can no longer use the Transformation of All Beings abilities. I have made a great sacrifice!"
"I should have given the future Nordic goddess of nature to the Green Tortoise to eat, so she wouldn't always be haggling with me." Fang Zong said with a dangerous smile, "Or should I have given you to the Green Tortoise to eat?"
"Pet owner!"
"Call me master."
"Master, meow." Tiger Tyrant promptly admitted defeat.
The man and the cat quickly reached the edge of the Sea of Japan. Before they even got close, a fierce storm arose on the sea. Yasuo and Abe Haru both thought the masked man was 'Tom' and was already dead, but Japan's Grand Canal wouldn't be mistaken—the Grand Canal had already begun to react before Fang Zong even entered the Sea of Japan.
"Go ahead and try to chop me in half if you dare."
Fang Zong smiled kindly and took a step into the Sea of Japan area.
A sudden gust of wind whipped up towering waves, hundreds of meters high, enough to destroy a coastal city, and the sky was filled with dark clouds. But all of this subsided as Fang Zong traveled through the Sea of Japan.
If it were within Japanese territory, the Japanese Grand Canal could easily destroy Fang Zong; but in the sea, it's a different story.
If Japan's Daiyun makes a move, it will only give Fang Zong a chance to get his hands on it...
"Meow, Yasuo's scent is long gone, but there's a cool, sweet scent that's been following Yasuo around, like Xue Nuo's ice cream. We can keep tracking that scent."
"Then let's track them down." Fang Zong thought of the Snow Woman beside Yasuo.
Yuki-onna, also known as Oni Yuki-onna or Yuki-ma-onna, is one of the higher-ranking beings among the eight million Japanese gods. She hides deep in the snowy mountains, and her beautiful, elusive figure causes lost adventurers to fall off cliffs. She also freezes enemies with her low temperatures and cold air.
She possesses a cold beauty, as well as a cold personality. Once she pledges allegiance to someone, she will never betray them, which is why Japanese otaku consider her the goddess they desire most among the yokai.
For the same reason, Fang Zong didn't mind tracking down Yuki Onna's scent after Yasuo's scent disappeared...
"The Snow Woman might help Yasuo shake off his pursuers, but Yasuo likes to be clever and might also go with the Snow Woman."
Thinking this, Fang Zong continued to leap into the clouds, his speed increasing until he stopped above a cluster of islands.
This place is already far from the Eastern Kingdom, further southeast of Japan. Fang Zong looked down and frowned, saying, "The Kingdom of Bailao?"
Despite being a country attacked by Japan, the country maintains close ties and friendly relations with Japan. Japanese cultural elements are prevalent in the country, and there are even memorials to Japanese soldiers from World War II.
