Qingyun Bungalow.
In the dark dungeon, the sound of a whip lashing could be heard from time to time. It was accompanied by painful howls, sending chills down one's spine.
A Japanese man was tied to a wooden stake. His skin and flesh were lacerated. Gu Beichen was whipping him fiercely, causing him to howl in agony. He was enduring unimaginable pain.
Tap, tap, tap.
A series of footsteps came from outside the dungeon. With Fatso Huang accompanying him, Ye Xuan strolled into the water dungeon. This also made Gu Beichen put away his whip and quickly walked towards Ye Xuan.
"Sir, we've interrogated him. This person is a member of the Muramasa family. This time, the Muramasa family used Xia Qingzhu and her father to take back the Muramasa Demon Blade," Gu Beichen said.
"Mr. … Mr. Ye … I beg you … please give me a quick death," the Japanese man said weakly. Because of Gu Beichen's vicious whipping, he was already seriously injured and on the verge of death.
Listening to Gu Beichen's report, Ye Xuan nodded slowly. Actually, there was no need to interrogate him. Ye Xuan could guess that the Muramasa family used Xia Qingzhu to deal with him. It could only be to take back the Muramasa Demon Blade.
However, Ye Xuan did not understand one thing. Although the Muramasa Demon Blade was important, it was just a weapon. However, for the Japanese to value it so much, it was definitely not that simple.
"Bring him over. I have something to ask him," Ye Xuan said softly.
Soon, Gu Beichen brought the Japanese man to Ye Xuan and made him kneel on the ground. He groaned from time to time. It was obvious that the pain on his body was somewhat unbearable.
"Tell me, what's the secret of the Muramasa Demon Blade?" Ye Xuan said calmly and looked at the person at his feet indifferently.
"Mr. … Mr. Ye … I've said everything that needs to be said … This blade is the treasure of the Muramasa family … Naturally, we have to take it back …"
"Hmph!"
Fatso Huang snorted coldly. His voice was cruel as he said, "Looks like you won't cry until you're in the coffin. Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless."
"Ah!"
Fatso Huang twisted the man's arm into the shape of a fried dough twist, causing the man to wail in agony before fainting.
Whoosh!
A basin of cold water was poured on this person, instantly waking him up from his coma. However, the pain coming from his right arm made him spasm on the ground. It was obvious that he was in extreme pain.
"I … I'll talk … I'll talk …"
The Japanese man's mind had completely collapsed. Like spilling beans, he revealed the secrets of the Muramasa Demon Blade.
Muramasa's Demon Blade was one of Japan's divine weapons. It contained unimaginable power, and this was something that everyone knew.
But this wasn't the most important thing. The most important thing was that the Muramasa Demon Sword was a key, a key to open the door to the Spirit-branded Retainer.
Legend has it that the long-lost Kusanagi Sword was hidden within the Shikigami's Door. Legend has it that the Kusanagi Sword was the sword of a god and possessed the power to destroy the heavens and earth.
Since ancient times, there had been a legend in Japan. Whoever could open the door to the Spirit-branded Retainer would be able to dominate the entire world. However, the Japanese royal family had never found out where the door to the Spirit-branded Retainer was.
Although the Japanese royal family had not found the door to the Spirit-branded Retainer, they could not afford to lose the Muramasa Demon Blade. This was also the reason why the Emperor of Japan ordered the Muramasa Family to take back the Muramasa Demon Blade from Ye Xuan at all costs.
"Ye Xuan … I've said everything that needs to be said … but I want to tell you … even if you're the number one expert in the East … you're still just one person … if you want to fight against the strength of an entire country … you'll only die without a burial ground."
The Japanese man laughed bitterly. Blood flowed out of his mouth uncontrollably. He had actually committed suicide by biting his tongue.
"The strength of an entire country?"
Ye Xuan muttered to himself. The corners of his mouth curled up into a cruel smile. His voice was unfathomable as he said, "Since you Japanese are courting death, then I'll play a good game with you."
…
Jiangnan Airport.
A flight to Japan was docked here. A large number of passengers were boarding the plane.
"Sir, are you really going to Japan alone?" Fatso Huang asked with a worried expression.
"Wu Juexian has brought the members of the Mansion of the Dead to the West. With you guarding Jiangnan City, I can rest assured. With the Muramasa Demon Blade in my hands, the Japanese will definitely not let this matter rest."
"I'm a vengeful person. Since the Japanese dared to attack me, they'll have to pay a price. If I keep silent, won't the world think that I, Ye Xuan, am easy to bully?"
Ye Xuan smiled coldly and boarded the flight to Japan. However, his appearance had also undergone a great change at this moment.
…
Japan, Emperor Pavilion.
The Emperor of Japan's face was ashen. All the jade objects around him had been shattered. A group of courtiers trembled as they endured the Emperor's thunderous fury.
"Trash, you're all trash."
"What should we do? What should we do now? "
"Not only did we fail to take back the Muramasa Demon Blade, but dozens of Japanese samurai were also killed. I'm afraid that Ye Xuan already knows that this was done by Japan. How can he let this matter rest?"
The Emperor of Japan roared. If one listened carefully, they would notice that his voice was trembling.
"Emperor, please calm down. The most important thing now is whether the secret of the Muramasa Demon Blade has been found out by Ye Xuan. If he knows about this, it won't be a good thing for Japan," a courtier said worriedly.
"Hmph, so what if he knows? Even we Japanese can't find the Gate of Shikigami. How can he, a mere person from Xia, find the Gate of Shikigami?"
"That's right. Even if Ye Xuan's cultivation is unparalleled and he's the number one expert in the East, don't forget that he's just one person. How can he fight against the entire Japan with his bravery?"
"In my opinion, find an opportunity to lure Ye Xuan to a place where no one is around and directly launch an intercontinental missile. I don't believe that his body is made of diamond. Could it be that he can remain unharmed under an intercontinental missile?"
All sorts of discussions were heard, causing the Emperor of Japan's expression to turn extremely gloomy.
"Enough, you bunch of idiots. If we really use the intercontinental missile, not only will Ye Xuan die, but even the cities in Xia will be destroyed. At that time, Xia won't let this matter rest. There will definitely be a war to destroy the country. How can Japan be a match for Xia?"
"Don't you even have this bit of self-awareness?"
As the Emperor of Japan roared furiously, the courtiers kept quiet out of fear and once again fell into dead silence.
Looking at the disappointing courtiers, the Emperor of Japan sighed helplessly and said in a slightly dispirited voice, "Pass down my order. Don't provoke Ye Xuan for the time being. Send the Foreign Affairs Minister to Xia. No matter what conditions they raise, as long as Ye Xuan can return the Muramasa Demon Blade, Japan will definitely satisfy them."
"All of you, leave."
As the Emperor of Japan dismissed everyone, he leaned weakly on his golden throne and kept rubbing his temples. Clearly, he was extremely frustrated.
However, what the Emperor of Japan didn't know was that Ye Xuan was currently heading towards Japan.
