Chapter 73: The Cloud Cloud Sword



Unlike Sakura City, the situation around Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya is quite different at this time.

A group of men in black dressed in suits and leather shoes hurried over and blocked the entire Atsuta Shrine. Many Self-Defense Force soldiers also quickly rushed here to assist the men in black in blocking the shrine.

Kyogoku Qiong is the evil demon sealed under Mount Fuji. This news has now spread throughout the entire Neon upper class.

In Sakura City, Neon Prime Minister Saigo Hiko once promised Neon's three sacred treasures, but now this promise naturally cannot be effective.

Among the three sacred treasures, the Yasakani no Magatama and the Eight-foot Mirror have both been taken away by Kyogoku no Kirei, and only the sword of Ame-no-Musakumo is still enshrined in the Atsuta Shrine. Such an important treasure naturally cannot be taken away by Kyogoku no Kirei.

Therefore, all armed departments in Japan have fully cooperated to blockade the Atsuta Shrine in an attempt to protect the sword Ame Murasaki, and experts from all over Japan are also conducting research on the sword Ame Murasaki at the Atsuta Shrine.

As for why the location of the Ame-no-Kume sword was not moved...

It's too difficult. Once the move is made, the sword of Ame-no-Kurosakumo will have to be moved, and it is easiest for someone to take it away during the move.

Moreover, the unscrupulous style of the Mirror Demon King and the Hand-Eye Demon in Sakura City has made the bigwigs in the upper echelons of Japan cautious and they really don't know where to transport the sword Ame-no-Murasakumo.

The sword of Ame-no-Murasakumo has become a hot potato, because Kyogoku Nozomi must seize this sacred weapon. No matter where it is sent, it will cause a disaster. It is better to keep it in Atsuta Shrine in Nagoya and let Atsuta Shrine bear the consequences itself.

"If the Japanese can't protect the sword, then give it to us. We will leave Japan with the sword and go to the United States. That Yin Yang Master named Kyogoku Qiong will definitely not dare to chase us."

Around Atsuta Shrine, a sharp English voice suddenly sounded. The focus shifted and it turned out to be Vice Admiral James of the Seventh Fleet. He suddenly appeared in Atsuta Shrine for some reason and was angrily demanding the sword of Ame no Murasaki from the commander of the Neon Self-Defense Force with more than a dozen American soldiers.

The colonel commander of the Self-Defense Force spoke in a dignified manner, not trying to curry favor with the Americans like other Japanese officials did: "Mr. James, the Kusanagi sword is one of the three sacred weapons of our Japan. Don't bother you Americans, we will protect it well."

"You are not kidding, my friend."

James almost laughed out loud, but he coughed and said, "Under your protection, Mount Fuji almost erupted. Adachi and Arakawa have become ghost areas. Why are you still protecting Atsuta Shrine?"

"Excuse me, in today's world, only the United States can protect the safety of the Ame-no-Kume sword, and only the United States can resist such a monster."

At this point, James couldn't help but straighten his chest and raise his head, seeming to feel very proud.

Seeing James speaking like this, the colonel opened his mouth to correct him: "General James, the US missiles did not kill the Hand-Eye Demon King."

Hearing this, James clenched his fists. Being over sixty years old, he almost couldn't hold back his anger, so he grabbed the colonel and punched him.

After taking a deep breath, James snorted coldly: "If it weren't for the problem with the warship at that time, the Hand-Eye Demon King would have been destroyed by the missiles long ago."

James' situation was no different from others, because he ordered the Seventh Fleet to retreat south, but after reuniting with the Third Fleet, he found that nothing had happened, which made Congress question James' ability.

They even thought that if James had been transferred and replaced by a different commander, the situation might have been different.

So, James felt the crisis.

After a short delay in the Pacific Ocean, they decided to return. After receiving information about Sakura City and Mount Fuji on the sea, they immediately went to Nagoya to take away the Sword of Ame-no-Murasakumo, one of the three sacred treasures of Japan.

The U.S. Embassy is communicating with the Japanese Prime Minister in Sakura City, while he himself came to Atsuta Shrine impatiently, wanting to take away the sword Ame Murasakibara.

"I won't talk too much to you. We have already communicated with your Prime Minister Saigo Hiko. I believe you will receive a call from Yingdu soon."

James exhaled and pretended to be relaxed and said, "After all, your Prime Minister of Neon is also under a lot of pressure right now."

"The Prime Minister will not give the Kusanagi sword to anyone else."

The colonel's eyes were full of light: "The Murasaki Sword will always be one of the three sacred weapons of our Neon."

James almost laughed out loud when he heard this. Before he could say anything, a soldier hurried over, came to the colonel, and whispered something in his ear.

After hearing the soldier's words, the colonel's face turned blue and purple, and finally he gritted his teeth and said to James: "General James, please follow me!"

Seeing this, James just smiled and followed the colonel's steps, walking towards the interior of Atsuta Shrine without saying any sarcastic words.

Because in his opinion, saying nothing was the biggest mockery.

Attenjingu Shrine is one of the three major shrines in Japan. It is a solemn and sacred cultural relic of the Japanese royal family. It enshrines many artifacts from Japanese history, most of which are swords and knives, especially the sword of Ame no Murasaki.

The priests and shrine maidens in Atsuta Shrine had long been "invited" to a safe place by government workers in Nagoya. At this time, Atsuta Shrine was filled with Japanese Self-Defense Force soldiers and Metropolitan Police Department officers.

Under the escort of a group of Neon Self-Defense Force soldiers, James passed through many sacred palaces and came to the attic of Atsuta Shrine where the sword Ame Murakumo was enshrined.

The moment James saw the sword of Ame Murakumo, he even doubted whether he had seen it wrong.

The Kusanagi sword in front of him looked ordinary and not as impressive as James had imagined.

In James' imagination, the Murasakumo sword should be a peerless divine weapon with brilliance, but the Murasakumo sword in front of him is so ordinary that James even feels that the sword he customized at the weapon shop would be more like a divine weapon than the Murasakumo sword.

The colonel noticed James' questioning look and immediately became furious. He snorted at James and said, "General James, there is no doubt about it. This is the real Murasakibara sword."

"In that case, then all right."

James waved his hand, and the two American soldiers behind him immediately took out the jade box containing the sword Murasakibara, carefully moved the sword into the box, and prepared to take it away.

Seeing that the Americans had prepared everything, the colonel sighed and said, "Let's go."

After saying that, the colonel stepped out of the attic, and suddenly, the whole space froze.

The next second, after a bolt from the blue, the wind began to surge and dark clouds covered the sky!

The sky suddenly turned blood red, with blood-red clouds everywhere!
