China, Mount Shaoshi.
Some ferocious beasts were searching for food in the increasingly desolate Cang Mountain forest, while birds flapped their wings and jumped among the withered branches and leaves. The winding and undulating cecal path seemed to have no end, with only the majestic palace at the summit exuding an ancient and vicissitude aura.
Dong, dong …
The melodious sound of a bell reverberated over the mountain range. The beasts within dozens of miles quietened down at this moment and turned to look at the palace at the highest peak.
Carrying a longsword on his back, Miao Wentang climbed the mountain along the winding and undulating cecal path. In front of him was a little monk in a monk's robe. The monk turned his head from time to time and curiously glanced at Miao Wentang.
At the Buddhist Sect.
Usually, there wouldn't be a visitor for several years. The little monk had been stationed at the mountain gate for more than two years, but it was also his first time encountering a cultivator visiting the mountain.
Quickly.
The duo came to the palace at the summit. Miao Wentang didn't have the leisure to admire the beautiful scenery around him. He didn't even spare a glance at the clouds and mist lingering around. His gaze fell on the four benevolent-looking old monks in kasayas and holding demon-subduing wands in their hands.
"Amitabha. Benefactor Miao coming from afar is a blessing for my Buddhist Sect. However, may I know why benefactor Miao has come to my Buddhist Sect? "The old monk wearing a kasaya revealed a smile as he asked.
Miao Wentang joined his palms together and saluted, saying, "It's been a while since we last met, Reverend Bai He. This time, I'm only here to deliver a message on behalf of my friend. "
"May I ask who this friend is?" asked Reverend Bai He curiously. "What message do you want to deliver?"
"Tan Xiu," answered Miao Wentang.
Grandmaster White Crane's expression changed and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Benefactor Tang is a dragon among men. I've met him several times in the Himalayas even though our Buddhist Sect was stationed at the western defensive line. It can be said that Benefactor Tang is the main reason why the entire country is stable and peaceful now. "
Miao Wentang nodded with a smile and said, "Tan Xiu asked me to personally come to the Buddhist Sect to tell you that he's now in Japan and has found the remnants of the Joyful Clan. Most importantly, the surviving members of the Joyful Clan have been operating in Japan for many years and have already become the largest and most mysterious force in Japan. "
"Joyful Clan?"
The complexions of Grandmaster White Crane and the other three Buddhist Sect Elders greatly changed. The four of them exchanged glances and then Grandmaster White Crane said in a deep voice, "The Joyful Sect is one of the Buddhist Esoteric sects. My Buddhist Sect will never tolerate them because they have violated the Buddhist Dao and committed heinous sins. Back then, when the Joyful Clan was annihilated, he didn't expect that some vile spawn would actually survive. Benefactor Miao, this matter is very important to our Buddhist Sect. Can you tell us where Benefactor Tang is now? How can we get in touch with him? "
Miao Wentang gave Tan Xiu's phone number to Grandmaster White Crane and said, "Tan Xiu also asked me to tell you that you can call him in advance if you want to clean up your sect. He's now in Japan's capital and can await your arrival at any time."
"Thank you, Benefactor Miao," said Grandmaster White Crane in a deep voice. "Our Buddhist Sect needs some time to discuss such an important matter. Please stay for some time, Benefactor Miao. You can leave Shaoshi Mountain with my Buddhist disciples later. "
"Understood!"
Miao Wentang nodded.
Two hours later.
The Buddhist Sect's Eight Abbots rushed from their respective peaks. A total of nine people, including Grandmaster White Crane, were sitting cross-legged on futons in a meditation room.
"What exactly happened, Senior Brother White Crane? Why did you summon all eight of us at the same time? "asked the chubby monk with a chubby face and smooth skin with a curious expression.
The others didn't speak, but their faces were also full of curiosity and their eyes kept lingering on Grandmaster White Crane's face.
"Benefactor Tang is Tan Xiu," said Grandmaster White Crane slowly. "Some of you have seen him, and some of you have heard of him. I believe you should have some understanding of Benefactor Tang's character. "
The fat monk heavily nodded and said, "Benefactor Tang Xiu may not be a Buddhist, but he has a Buddhist heart. In today's cultivation world, everyone respects him very much. Even though This Penniless Monk has been cultivating for more than 300 years, I still respect him. "
Another thin and dark-skinned monk said in a deep voice, "Benefactor Tang once risked his life alone in the Himalayas to slaughter a large number of fierce beasts and save countless humans. I, Blackface Buddha, admire him for being able to make such a move at the critical moment of our race's crisis. "
"I'm very convinced by Benefactor Tang, Senior Brother White Crane."
"I haven't seen him, but I've heard of him. Although it's said that 'seeing is believing', I believe in the judgment of Senior Brothers. That Benefactor Tang is very good. "
"I agree."
"..."
After listening to them quietly, Grandmaster White Crane nodded and said, "Since we all believe in Benefactor Tang, then I'll tell you the reason why I summoned you here today. Benefactor Tang has invited Miao Wentang to come to our Buddhist Sect to convey a message to us: the remnants of the Joyous Sect have established a very large force in Japan. "
"The Joyous Sect?"
"Didn't we kill all those scums from the Joyous Sect who harmed women back then? How come some of them survived? "
"The Joyous Sect that was abducted and pillaged? Some of those guys who turned into demons actually survived? Who is he? "
"If this news is true, we must find him and kill him!"
"To eliminate the evils for the people!"
"To clean up the sect!"
"..."
Grandmaster White Crane raised his hands and pressed down in the void, saying, "Junior Brothers, our Buddhist Sect has set a rule that forbids the existence of the Joyous Sect. Master has sworn that as long as our Buddhist Sect exists, we must never let those evil creatures from the Joyous Sect harm ordinary women. Now that we've learned this news, we must eradicate them. "
"I summoned all of you here because I want to discuss with you who will lead the team to Japan? How many Buddhist disciples will we bring to Japan? "
"Amitabha," said Blackface Buddha in a deep voice. "Just leave this meritorious deed of cleaning up the sect to this poor monk! It's the most basic responsibility of my Commandment Hall to punish the remaining evils. "
The fat monk's thumb pinched the string of Buddha beads and said with a faint smile, "Senior Brothers and Junior Brothers, this poor monk once sneaked into the Joyous Sect to conduct a secret investigation. I've learned about their numerous crimes and secretly collected their disciple roster. No one is more familiar with the Joyous Sect than this poor monk. Therefore, this penniless monk will personally make a trip to Japan this time to see which evil is still alive. "
Grandmaster White Crane slowly nodded and raised his hand to stop the others who wanted to speak. "So be it, Junior Brother Blackface and Junior Brother Jade Buddha will go together. Each of the eight monasteries will send two Junior Brothers. The 18 of you must eliminate the Joyous Sect's evil remnants. "
Blackface Buddha, Jade Buddha, and the other six Eminent Monks looked surprised at the same time. Grandmaster White Crane said that each monastery would send two Junior Brothers, meaning that the people to be sent must have a very high status and formidable strength. The weakest among their peers was comparable to a Golden Core Stage cultivator.
In the evening.
Miao Wentang and the 18 Buddhist Sect Eminent Monks left the Shaoshi Mountain. Miao Wentang personally arranged for the 18 Buddhist Sect Eminent Monks to board the passenger ship to Japan.
During this period, an accident happened. The 18 Eminent Monks rarely left the Shaoshi Mountain and didn't have any identification cards from the outside world, so the plan to board the passenger plane was foiled.
Japan, Inada Society.
Tan Xiu was comfortably sitting by the window on the second floor of the attic, enjoying the beautiful scenery around him. The corpses in the courtyard below had been cleaned up and even the bloodstains had been washed clean. Kuwako's subordinates were also repairing the damaged scene caused by the battle.
Fragrant tea and beautiful scenery.
With an outstanding beauty like Kuwako serving him next to him, Tan Xiu leisurely drank a cup of fragrant tea and slowly asked, "Haven't the information I asked for been sent yet?"
"Not yet." Kuwako shook her head and said, "But those three are still under our surveillance. It won't take long for their identities to be investigated and all the information will be placed in front of you."
"You're really good, Kuwako." Tan Xiu nodded and smilingly said, "It seems that keeping you here was the right choice. It seems that keeping you here was the right choice. Although Japan is just a small place, it has a large population and is full of crises and opportunities. You've collected a lot of cultivation resources for the sect in the past two years, so you can say that you've made a great contribution. Just speed up after this matter is resolved! You can return to Nine Dragons Island to cultivate and break through to a higher realm once the entire Japan is under your control. "
"Sect Master, I'll be able to control the entire Japan in three years at most as long as the Joyous Palace is destroyed," said Kuwako respectfully.
"You can arrange the time as you see fit, but don't delay the collection of cultivation resources," said Tan Xiu. "Also, Jin Shi will probably send some intel operatives here half a year later to set up an intelligence network in Japan. When the time comes, you'll be able to assign the intelligence network you control to Jin Shi! "
Kuwako thought for a while and said, "How about I set up an intelligence network in Japan, Sect Master? I'll directly hand it over to Jin Shi or his men after they come here. "
"Setting up an intelligence network isn't something that can be done overnight." Tan Xiu shook his head. "Besides, the person in charge of this aspect must be extremely loyal to the Tang Sect and must not make the slightest mistake. You can also take care of it, but don't put too much energy into it, because your first task is to control more and more powerful people in the island nation. You have to control all three aspects of the military, politics, and business. Remember the code of conduct: those who obey me will prosper, while those who oppose me will perish. "
"This subordinate understands," replied Kuwako respectfully with a solemn expression.
Suddenly, Kuwako's expression shifted and she quickly walked to the door and opened it from the inside. She saw a burly man in a black night suit outside and asked in a deep voice, "Did you bring the information?"
"Yes."
The burly man respectfully replied.
After receiving it, Kuwako waved her hand to signal him to leave and then came to Tan Xiu with the information.
