Vanguards of the War of Resistance! Let's travel back in time together, classmates!

337 The Journey to the East: The Alliance Under the Twenty-Six Cities

The people opposite were both afraid of Shangguan Yun and unwilling to let him get away with it so easily. Miyamoto Jichuan's mind raced, and then he suddenly chuckled.

"Shangguan Yun, let's not talk about how you view the rules of our two sects that have lasted for thousands of years. Anyway, the small world is now closed off, so there's nowhere to express your reasoning."

Let's talk about how you came to my Japan this time. First, you destroyed the Iga faction, then you came here and ruined the Oshino clan, and you even ravaged my Mount Seigaku into this state.

We can't just let you pack up and go back to Liaodong like that. If word gets out, how will our Xuandu lineage ever be able to face the cultivation world again...?"

Shangguan Yun forced a cold laugh and said loudly, "What do you mean by that? If you have the guts, then come at me. Stop beating around the bush. I... am here to cause trouble..."

The crowd on the other side erupted in another commotion. Tokugawa Daishi declared that he would die alongside Shangguan Yun, and the other old fogies glared angrily at him as well.

Miyamoto Tsuikawa, barely suppressing his anger, said, "Heh heh, how could a junior like you possibly know the full extent of Japan's secrets? If you don't believe me, you can continue to act wildly and see if Japan can keep you here..."

Shangguan Yun looked at him for a few breaths, chuckled, and then nodded slightly.

"Indeed, I didn't intend to wipe you all out this time. However, you invaded Chinese land and killed my Chinese people. If I don't teach you a lesson, how can you be satisfied? Hehe! Let you know that the Chinese cultivation world isn't full of cowards."

After speaking, Shangguan Yun revealed a murderous aura in his eyes. His cultivation at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment made the surrounding air seem to freeze, and killing intent filled the air.

Several Japanese cultivators were secretly alarmed, thinking that Shangguan Yun's cultivation was indeed profound, and with these high-level magic treasures and artifacts, he would be difficult to deal with.

However, the Japanese are known for their stubbornness; regardless of whether they can win a fight or not, they cannot afford to lose in terms of momentum, and they are never one to back down with their words.

One of them said loudly, "The invasion of China's land was not done by our Japanese cultivation world, but by the natural law of the change of dynasties in the secular world. We have no right to interfere."

As for success or failure, it depends on the means employed. This is not the opinion of the cultivation world of Japan. At most, we can only play a supporting role.

Besides, your Chinese cultivation world can also lend a hand to the forces you favor, but hehe... it seems you don't really have any forces that have caught your attention..."

Shangguan Yun chuckled inwardly upon hearing this. Just now they were talking about vying for control of the three northeastern provinces, and now they're talking about worldly matters. How shameless!

"Since that's the case, there's no need for us to argue today... Hmph..."

Shangguan Yun looked at the group and continued, "Why don't we, on behalf of our respective sects, swear an oath that from this day forward, cultivators from both sides will not be allowed to invade each other's territory, or they will be killed without mercy? What do you think..."

"This one……"

The eight people were taken aback by his words, not knowing what Shangguan Yun was up to, but they dared not object because of his tyrannical power.

Miyamoto Tsuikawa, however, reacted quickly. After a slight hesitation, he immediately said, "Alright... Just as you said, from today onwards, whether it's invasion or war between the secular worlds of both sides, we cultivators may participate, but we must not enter the other side's territory. Otherwise, the other side can kill us by any means necessary. What do you all think?"

Everyone started to realize what was happening, and upon hearing Miyamoto's words, they all nodded in agreement.

"Excellent...feasible...greatly good..."

“In that case, we may swear an oath to the heavens…hehe…” Shangguan Yun laughed.

So the representatives of both sides swore an oath to the heavens, saying things like, "If we break this oath, may heaven and earth condemn us, and may we die without a burial place," as if they were throwing money at the wind.

After the matter was settled, the several Japanese cultivators felt somewhat relieved. One of them said coldly, "Now that we have reached an agreement, why don't you immediately release Orochi? This is the most precious treasure of our Meiji Shrine, and we will not allow you to humiliate it like this..."

Shangguan Yun was worried about how to deal with this Yamata no Orochi when he heard this and became furious. He thought that he had only reached this humiliating agreement because of the coercion he had put forward today. If he could not leave behind an image of absolute strength, he would not be able to completely intimidate these old guys.

He tried to find a solution while simultaneously attempting to communicate with the Heart-Piercing Lock using his divine sense. However, the Heart-Piercing Lock was not his magical artifact and did not readily obey his commands, so no matter how he tried to communicate, it was useless. In desperation, Shangguan Yun channeled a stream of magical power into it and shouted, "Collect..."

The Yamata no Orochi, which was tumbling and struggling in the air, suddenly shuddered. The black dragon coiled around it flashed with dark light and began to shrink, eventually becoming as small as a snake, only a little over a foot long.

Under the stunned gazes of everyone, the Yamata no Orochi, carried by the black dragon, "whooshed" into the Heart Lock and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The group exclaimed in shock, "Ah...this...what kind of magical treasure is this? It's terrifying!"

Everyone was horrified and quickly took a few steps back.

Shangguan Yun laughed heartily, "If you want this little snake, you can come find me in Liaodong in the future and let me see your skills. But I don't have time to play around with you here today. The green hills remain, the green waters flow forever, we'll meet again in the future..."

As he spoke, Shangguan Yun rode a paper crane straight towards the direction of Renye Village, picked up Xuanxuan, and headed southwest in a streak of silver light. Along the way, he also plundered a medicinal herb field belonging to the Renye Sect and put it into his system space.

Seeing this, everyone was so angry that they trembled with rage, stamping their feet and beating their chests.
