I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

Western magicians cultivate magical power, while Eastern martial artists cultivate qi. In essence, they are the same thing. To control someone's mind with mind magic, one not only needs to break through the spells used to protect themselves, but excessive release of control can also cause irreversible mental damage to the caster.

Lu Yinghua never imagined that just half an hour after he received the news, all the leaders of the Lu family's branch in Japan had been taken into custody.

Passing through the respectfully bowing crowd, the young martial arts prodigy disregarded the stares of others and activated his lightness skill, soaring straight into the clouds.

On the surface of Victoria Harbour, the White Lotus King finally stopped his seven-day power-building operation at the Treasure Shipyard, where three hundred treasure ships were now quietly anchored.

The crimson hull of the ship stretched to the sky, and the pure white sails were almost level with the clouds. Lu Yinghua had no doubt that if her master were willing, she could conquer any country within a week.

Therefore, Lu Yinghua's thinking contains no objection to present-day China—the Qing Empire has existed in name only for nearly a century, and Luo Hao is the true emperor of this land. Since all land under heaven belongs to the emperor, the power of life and death naturally rests with him.

Lu Yinghua once again gathered his energy and lightened his body, leaping up from the top of Kowloon Mountain, gliding through the clouds in a light arc, crossing the heavy white sails, and finally landing on the deck of the largest treasure ship in the middle of the fleet.

The young master of the Lu family, whose status in the world had reached the pinnacle and who was second only to the emperor, did not even dare to raise his head as soon as he touched the deck, and knelt down on the ground.

"May the Holy Master enjoy boundless blessings, live as long as the heavens, and reign for a thousand autumns and ten thousand years. May his glory shine like the sun and moon, benefit all living beings, unify the land, surpass the achievements of the Three Sovereigns, and be as virtuous as the Five Emperors. Your disciple, Lu Yinghua, bows a hundred times in reverence!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a tremendous force struck him from below. Lu Yinghua instinctively tried to mobilize his internal energy to resist, but he gritted his teeth and let the force send him flying onto the mast.

“Foolish. Martial arts practitioners need not flatter. Little Eagle, you still haven’t become a talent, which is truly disappointing.”

A cool, clear voice rang in Lu Yinghua's ears.

Lu Yinghua fell from the mast expressionlessly, not daring to utter a sound, and knelt down on one knee: "Master's teachings are correct, disciple Lu Yinghua understands."

"Indeed, it is of great benefit to admit one's mistakes and correct them."

Luo Hao's voice remained calm, as if she had completely forgotten that she herself had set this rule of respect for the leader, and had also completely forgotten that Lu Yinghua had almost been beaten to death by her last time because of a lack of courtesy.

"So, Yinghua, you went so far as to use the Cloud Ladder to come here and interrupt my great project of building the treasure ship. Do you have any explanation?"

Lu Yinghua's scalp tingled: "Disciple has learned that Nikko Toshogu Shrine in Japan has been destroyed, and the entire city of Nikko has been razed to the ground."

As soon as he finished speaking, a gust of wind rushed towards him. It was as if Lu Yinghua had been hit head-on by a train. He was thrown back into the air again, bursting through the railings of the treasure ship's deck and flying all the way into the sea.

However, Lu Yinghua dared not raise his internal energy to resist at all, but instead closed his eyes and covered his ears.

In the instant he closed his eyes and plugged his ears, an immense force descended once more, lifting him up and slamming him onto the deck.

"Disciple thanks Master for your guidance."

Ignoring the excruciating pain all over his body, Lu Yinghua instinctively kowtowed in the direction of Cult Leader Luo Hao.

As the "ordinary person" closest to Master Luo Hao in the world, Lu Yinghua knew Luo Hao's likes and dislikes well. It was precisely because of this that he became the only disciple and servant of Luo Hao to have survived all these years.

The capricious Luo Hao was proud of her looks and pleasant voice, but she hated being seen by lowly people. Anyone who saw her face had to gouge out their own eyes immediately, and anyone who heard her voice had to gouge out their own ears immediately.

Lu Yinghua is only twelve years old, but he has already had hundreds of near-death experiences, and 99% of them came from his master Luo Hao.

After he was formally recognized as Luo Hao's disciple, he was qualified to hear her voice.

"The Nikko Toshogu Shrine has been razed to the ground; it's utterly absurd and laughable!" Luo Hao's voice echoed again from all directions. "Doesn't this person realize he's provoking me, Luo Hao?!"

In a fit of rage, the seawater in the entire Victoria Harbour surged three meters high out of nowhere, and the surging waves overcame the breakwater, instantly destroying countless houses.

But before Luo Hao could vent his anger, wave after wave of surging energy shot out from the ship, carving deep trenches dozens of meters deep into the sea, and even the sky darkened.

A few minutes later, Luo Hao's anger seemed to subside, and the sea receded again, returning to calm.

But Lu Yinghua knew that his master's anger was far from over.

Several years ago, the leader of the Luo Hao sect traveled to the East to liberate the Monkey King, who was imprisoned under the Tosho Shrine, and kill him to seize power. However, he had to return empty-handed because he did not meet the conditions.

Although it was unsuccessful, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the God of Disobedience, had already tacitly acknowledged that it was Luo Hao's possession. There was no doubt about it. Even the Wolf King, Marquis Voban, would not dare to offend Luo Hao. Now, someone who was unaware of his own mortality dared to steal Luo Hao's target.

The person who could kill the Monkey King must have extraordinary abilities, but Lu Yinghua's mind only held loyalty and trust for Luo Hao, the leader of the sect.

"Tell me the details."

"Yes." Lu Yinghua dared not be negligent, fearing that he would be caught in the crossfire of Luo Hao's anger. "Just today, an earthquake broke out in Nikko City, Nikko Toshogu Shrine was completely destroyed, and Mount Obaigen erupted as well. My people there observed that the Great Sage Equaling Heaven displayed his divine power of transforming heaven and earth."

"Then the Great Sage Equaling Heaven summoned Pigsy and Deep Sand God, who were also disobedient gods, and combined them into a triune divine body, but he was still defeated and killed."

"This disciple has confirmed that the one who killed the Great Sage Equaling Heaven was not another god-slayer, but a new demon king—"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Yinghua was struck hard on the face and sent flying backward once again. At the same time, Luo Hao's cold and disgusted voice rang out: "I have said many times, do not mention the title of Demon King in front of me - because I am the overlord whose achievements surpass the Three Sovereigns and whose virtue surpasses the Five Emperors. Who dares to call himself king in front of me?"

"Slap yourself a hundred times."

Lu Yinghua respectfully rose and kowtowed to Luo Hao: "Thank you for your reward, Master!"

After he finished speaking, Lu Yinghua knelt on the edge of the deck with his head down, slapping his mouth hard again and again, not daring to use his internal energy to reduce the swelling. In an instant, his fair face swelled up like a wine jar.

Luo Hao's voice came again indifferently: "This mere clown took the opportunity to steal my things. Once I have taken the head of this evil dragon, I will personally go to Japan and take his life."

342 Why can't I type with brainwaves?

Separated by the sea, Li Lin and Luo Hao, the sect leader, exchanged harsh words, each imagining how they would chop the other into mincemeat without ever meeting in person.

The Lu family, controlled by the Soul-Stealing Curse, have begun to operate, infiltrating Japan's domestic industrial system with unimaginable efficiency.

Although Nissan's industrial quality is just so-so, like the craftsmanship they pride themselves on... considering that the land of China in the world of Godslayer has been reduced to a level a hundred years behind the rest of the world by the tyrant Luo Hao, Nissan really has nothing to criticize.

Besides, there are also those cunning old bastards like Susanoo.

Li Lin didn't even need to think to know that these disobedient gods must have planted a trap in the oath.

Just as Nian would definitely put Lao Gan Ma chili sauce in his hot pot, he himself would definitely put quantum firecrackers in his latrine. Susanoo, who possesses similar powers of lying and deception, would definitely circumvent certain terms of his vows and trip him up.

The dark green desktop rose silently, and a glowing text appeared before Li Lin's eyes.

[Binding Curse: When you are in the mortal world, the inhabitants of the underworld, led by Susanoo, Princess Sita, and the black-robed monk, cannot hinder you; their power in the mortal world must aid you!]

[Curse: You are forbidden from entering the Netherworld, and you must not harm the inhabitants of the Netherworld, led by Susanoo, Princess Sita, and the black-robed monk!]

Li Lin clicked his tongue, reached out and pressed his hand on the faintly glowing surface of the cursed object, a deep purple hue flashing in his eyes.

The room now has a faint scent of hawthorn blossoms.

[Third-Tier Secret Technique: Declaration of Mountain Chopping]

[Level: Canon]

[Sexual characteristics: Qi (Start), Dong (Winter)]

A great empire was divided in two somewhere, east and west, a conflict that began a thousand years ago. This is the proclamation read aloud then, its every syllable still sharp enough to cut lips.

The power of the double-horned axe has been manifested many times in history. Whether it was dividing the vast territory of the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, splitting the territory of the Carolingian Empire, or dividing the vast territory of the Northern and Southern Dynasties, it was all a concrete manifestation of the power of the double-horned axe.

— This is nothing more than cutting, combining, splitting, and assembling.

When this power is applied to an oath, it results in the abandonment, destruction, and division of the oath.

The old vows came to an end, and new constraints were born.

Li Lin reached out and ran his hand over the faintly glowing surface of the cursed garment, then pressed down slightly on the surface of the second cursed garment.

[Curse: You are granted access to the Netherworld, but you must harm its inhabitants, led by Susanoo, Princess Sita, and the black-robed sorcerer!]

Susanoo might be able to bypass one of the conditions of his vow, but he cannot go against the general direction.

Li Lin simply altered the entire oath beyond recognition. No, rather than altering it, it's more accurate to say that Li Lin cut out the important words and phrases.

Qi Dong opened the blank space of this vow.

Immediately afterwards, Li Lin reached out again, and the exclusive secret technique belonging to the White Day Forging Furnace lit up. A wisp of fire burned across the surface of the cursed binding, melting and re-riveting the blank areas.

[Curse: You are granted access to the Netherworld, but you must harm its inhabitants, led by Susanoo, Princess Sita, and the black-robed sorcerer!]

This reforged the broken oath.

One can only imagine the look of disgust on Susanoo and the others' faces when Li Lin visited You Shi every few days.

......

Li Lin was having a great time in the Lu family's building, and the Lu family's henchmen, who were being manipulated by Li Lin, were also very happy. Although the Soul-Stealing Curse had changed their allegiance, they still possessed independent thinking abilities.

They astutely noticed that the local gangs who used to harass them seemed to have backed down, and the Japanese government, which had secretly favored them, had also softened its stance.

Just as they were "working", a girl with long, straight black hair wearing a school uniform came running over, carrying a long, narrow object that looked like a badminton shuttlecock tube on her back.

"Excuse me, is this the Lu family's office in Shinjuku?"

Her Chinese was a bit broken; she bit her tongue twice while pronouncing a single sentence.

The security guard in the black shirt looked her up and down suspiciously: "Who are you?"

"So you can speak Japanese, that's great..." The woman with long, straight black hair stuck out her tongue. "I am Seikiin Ena."

The security guard casually opened a bag of potato chips and happily munched on them.

A sense of unease rose in Kiyoshuuin Ena's heart, but she then comforted herself, thinking that perhaps the gatekeeper had never heard of the Kiyoshuuin family.

After all, this is one of the four great families of Japanese magic... oh wait, now it's the third.

The Kuhozuka family, responsible for protecting Nikko Toshogu Shrine and suppressing the disobedient god, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, has been buried along with Nikko City. Both the main family and the branch family not far away have perished without a burial place. Only one middle-aged man from a collateral branch, who has no magical talent whatsoever, survived.

It can be said that the lineage of the Kufuzuka family was thus severed.

Thinking of this, Kiyoakiin Ena forced a smile: "I'm here on behalf of the Kiyoakiin family to visit your boss. Could you please inform him?"

The security guard wiped his mouth: "Wait here."

A moment later, the security guard came out: "The boss isn't here."

"Not here?" Ena Kiyoshu's heart skipped a beat.
