Cao Kun exerted force on his hand, and Jiuhe Neixiu's face instantly turned pale.
Cao Kun said without any emotion, "You have no choice in front of me."
After saying that, Cao Kun stretched out his other hand and grabbed Jiuhe Neixiu's forehead, forcibly pulling out a phantom image.
"ah!"
The screams of Jiuhe Neixiu immediately echoed throughout the entire Juxie Land.
But a short while later, she knelt down respectfully and said, "Master."
She was completely controlled by Cao Kun and had become his slave.
Cao Kun gave a faint "hmm": "Tell me everything you know about Zhang Pingru."
"Yes, Master."
Kukawachi Hideki revealed all the information she had gathered.
After hearing this, Cao Kun called Bart: "Do you know Zhang Pingru?"
“I feel like I’ve heard this name somewhere before. Please wait a moment, Master, while I look it up,” Bart replied.
Cao Kun: "Pay attention to concealment and secrecy."
Bart: "Understood, Master."
Just over ten minutes later, Bart called again: "Master, we've found her, this Ms. Zhang Pingru..."
Barthes first introduced Zhang Pingru's identity, which was similar to what Cao Kun knew.
Then he added, "Now the CIA is secretly monitoring her, but they are just cooperating."
The person primarily in charge is the Cabinet Intelligence and Research Office of Japan.
Cao Kun: "Give me information on these people, the more detailed the better."
Bart didn't ask any further questions and quickly sent over the relevant information.
After obtaining the information, Cao Kun asked Kukawachi Hide, "I heard that the Kukawachi faction committed a lot of killings in cooperation with the Japanese during the War of Resistance against Japan. Is that true?"
Kukawachi Hideaki hurriedly said, "Master, it's true."
The Jiuju School was founded during the Tang Dynasty by a group of people who went to the Dragon Kingdom to learn some Taoist magic and then adapted it upon returning to China.
When it was first established, it was very rough and rudimentary, and it didn't know much.
However, they always used money and beautiful women to pave their way while secretly learning the Taoist cultivation techniques of the Dragon Kingdom.
In addition, they also learned those evil arts that were regarded as heretical by Taoists.
Through the accumulation of time, especially in the late Qing Dynasty, the weakness of the Dragon Kingdom gave them an opportunity to acquire many related traditions in the Dragon Kingdom.
They naturally didn't want to miss such a good opportunity as the War of Resistance, and almost the entire sect came out.
They not only helped the military massacre the people of the Dragon Kingdom, but also took the opportunity to collect relevant Taoist materials.
The Jiuju faction reaped the greatest benefits during the more than ten years of the War of Resistance.
Cao Kun asked curiously, "Didn't they encounter any Dragon Kingdom cultivators chasing them within the Dragon Kingdom's territory?"
Kukawachi Hide: "I asked this question before, and they said that there were indeed cultivators from the Dragon Kingdom chasing them, but the intensity was not high."
They were also puzzled by the reason behind this.
But since they had gained benefits, they didn't delve into the underlying issues.
A variety of possibilities flashed through Cao Kun's mind.
But he wasn't sure.
The reason is unclear, but it's just being put on hold for now.
Cao Kun: "Who is the most powerful cultivator in the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect right now, and what is their cultivation level?"
Jiuhe Neixiu: "Elder Da Chuanxiang is said to be at the Soul Devouring Realm, but I have never seen him and do not know if it is true or not."
The one I met was Murayama Ichikyo, the leader of the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect. She was a great master who had reached the peak of the Evil Core stage and had lived for hundreds of years, and had also been the leader of the sect for hundreds of years.
During the War of Resistance against Japan, she personally went to China and frequently took action.
It was during that period that she broke through to the Evil Core Realm.
Based on the information he has now obtained, Cao Kun knows that the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect is completely following the path of heretical cultivation.
This can be seen from the division of realms within their sect.
Gathering Evil, Evil Platform, Evil Elixir, Devouring Spirit...
On the battlefields of the War of Resistance against Japan, where tens of millions of people died, this was indeed very beneficial to heretical practitioners.
It's perfectly normal for someone to use this to break through to the Evil Core stage.
That Grand Elder, Da Chuanxiang, must have also gained a lot, and may have even used it to break through to the Spirit Devouring Realm.
However, the cultivation level of the Nine Chrysanthemums Sect members was lower than Cao Kun had expected.
At first, the Holy Son of the Mountain said that Kuhe Nei Xiu was a Xietai Realm expert, but after meeting him, Cao Kun felt that he was more than that, and that Kuhe Nei Xiu might be hiding something much deeper.
As it turns out, this woman really was a wicked person, albeit a perfectly wicked one.
Currently, Jiuju's highest level is Soul Devouring, and the sect leader's level is Evil Core Perfection, both lower than Cao Kun expected.
"It seems that even for evil cultivators, advancing in this world is not so easy."
Only by taking advantage of special circumstances can major breakthroughs be achieved.
As Kukauchi Hide just mentioned, Murayama Ikkyo made a breakthrough during the War of Resistance against Japan.
"He broke through to the Evil Core stage during the War of Resistance against Japan, and now, in just a few decades, he has broken through to the Perfect Evil Core stage."
"How much benefit did this guy actually gain during the War of Resistance against Japan?"
Thinking of this, Cao Kun's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
These benefits are all built on the blood of the people of the Dragon Kingdom.
Cao Kun is an evil cultivator who has killed countless people and whose hands are covered in blood.
However, even those who practice heresy are human beings and have feelings.
He also had a different kind of feeling towards the Dragon Kingdom.
Cao Kun was certainly not foolishly loyal and unwilling to give his life for anyone or anything.
But he is willing to help if it is within his power and doesn't require much effort.
Cao Kun stood up: "Get up, you're coming with me."
"Yes, Master." Kukawachi Hide has become as obedient as Yamashita Seiko.
…………
Inside a residence in Illinois, USA.
Zhang Pingru, heavily pregnant, stood by the window, peeked outside, and then quickly drew the curtains.
Even though it's daytime, Zhang Pingru doesn't dare open the windows, and the curtains are kept drawn 24 hours a day.
When going out, I stayed in the car the whole time and didn't dare to go out on the street.
Just over two weeks ago, Zhang Pingru suddenly discovered that she was being monitored.
Several of the same faces always appeared around her.
At first, Zhang Pingru thought he might be overthinking things.
But after several deliberate tests, she was certain that she was being followed.
Zhang Pingru felt that the tracking might have been going on for a longer period of time; it was just that she had only recently discovered it.
The reason she discovered them was that these people had become bolder and were no longer as careful as before.
The reason people become bolder is usually because they think their target won't live much longer, so they don't need to be so careful.
Zhang Pingru was terrified; she was pregnant.
She feared that if she died like this, her child would never be able to come into the world.
Zhang Pingru knew that her fate was definitely related to the book "The NJ Massacre" she published a few years ago.
This book not only made it onto the bestseller list, but also sparked a series of related events.
As their influence expanded, the Japanese faced intense criticism from the international community, and their reputation was severely affected.
Zhang Pingru sat at the table, wanting to work for a while, but she couldn't calm down no matter what she did.
She went to the window again, lifted a corner of the curtain, and without much effort, she saw a familiar face once more.
It was an Asian face; she could recognize it—it was Japanese.
Just as she was about to draw the curtains, she saw a horrifying scene.
