Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

Looking at Xiao Xu's face, which was completely different from the beautiful and charming face in their memory, Kotetsu and Yingxiu gasped at the same time.

"Our opponents don't look very strong?" Xiao Chuchong said to Kotetsu and Yingxiu quietly, "Is that so? What can you possibly understand? After all, you haven't experienced...real hell."

Xiao Xu's tone was full of resentment, like a female ghost whose soul had been lost for a thousand years. The "real hell" she mentioned was obviously her experience with Xia Mi, but looking at Xiao Xu's face, Hu Che and Ying Xiu felt that her description was not an exaggeration at all... because at this moment, Xiao Xu really looked like a ghost crawling out of hell.

Xiao Xu lost half of her face... Yes, the skin on the lower half of her face was completely destroyed. To be precise, half of her skin was torn and peeled off in an extremely cruel way.

The originally smooth skin turned into bloody flesh, the white bones were wrapped in the bloody muscles, but a part of it was still exposed to the air, and even the muscle fiber tissue was clearly visible. The originally delicate and sexy lips were gone, and the teeth and crimson gums were exposed without any cover... This face had nothing to do with words like enchanting and gorgeous. Anyone who saw this face would find it difficult not to have nightmares.

"Damn it! What did that woman do to you!" Yingxiu screamed in shock at Xiao Zhu's miserable condition. "Why aren't Luoye and the people from the Kansai branch any different? Why are you the only one who has become like this? Why is that woman targeting you?"

No one answered Yingxiu. Luoye sighed deeply and then smiled bitterly. She couldn't possibly tell her companions that it was her sister who provoked the other person, threatened to humiliate the other person's man, and even begged the other person to tear her mouth apart, right?

"You will pay the price for treating our people like this!" Kotetsu threatened Ling and Xia Mi with all his might, "I promise you will pay a price ten times worse than ours!"

"Oh?" Xia Mi raised an eyebrow. "Then how do you plan to make us pay? With your tougher-than-a-duck mouth? Or with your secretive general?"

"We still have our Kanto branch leader, Nagashune, as well as Masamune, Nagamitsu, Kanemitsuru, and Kagemitsu... They're all powerful warriors with the title of Famous Sword!" Kotetsu gritted his teeth. "And there are also members of the Oni Clan! Traveling with us is an envoy from the Oni Clan's Dragon King! Even if you defeat us, the other leaders and the Oni Clan will come after you, and your fate will be far more tragic than ours!"

At this moment, the lifting platform in the tunnel was suddenly activated... No one in the tunnel touched the switch, which meant that someone on the ground called the engineering elevator up.

"Really?" Xia Mi looked at the slowly rising platform with a half-smile. "The Dragon King's messenger? You're making me look forward to it."

Ling and Xia Mi waited quietly together, and the people from the Kanto branch and the Kansai branch couldn't help but show hope on their faces. In their opinion, the only ones who would come down with the lifting platform could be other team leaders from the Kanto branch or members of the Oni Clan.

That was the second detachment that attacked Hongjing on behalf of Lord General Wang. That team would know more and be more powerful than the first group sent to Hongjing... In that lord's meticulous plan, he never thought that the four team leaders of the Kanto branch and the Kansai branch alone could defeat the ninjas of the Fuma family, the Self-Defense Forces under Ryoma Genichirō, and the Ganliu Research Institute led by Miyamoto Shio.

Compared with the second detachment, Hu Che and his men are at best just an advance force that came to Hongjing to inquire about the situation... It doesn't matter if the advance force is wiped out, as long as the main force arrives, the direction of this war will not change!

Dozens of seconds later, the lifting platform slowly descended with the person who summoned the elevator. The huge square platform was about to fall into the tunnel. Hu Che's eyes flashed with ferocity, and Ying Xiu's mouth corners also showed a sneer... Only the sisters Xiao Xu and Luo Ye looked at Xia Mi's back, and the look in their eyes was still gloomy.

Until the lifting platform completely landed in front of everyone, looking at the only figure on the platform, Hu Che and Ying Xiu were both stunned.

"Old Tang?" Hu Che stared at the familiar happy-looking man with wide eyes, and didn't react for a moment.

"Hmm? Brother Hu Che?" Old Tang jumped down from the lift platform and looked at Hu Che, who was bruised and battered by Xia Mi. His eyes widened. "My good brother, how did you get into this state?"

"Why are you the only one coming down here?" Yingxiu couldn't help but ask Old Tang, "Where are the others?"

"Hey, Brother Yingxiu, why are you in such a mess?" Old Tang also stared at Yingxiu with wide eyes. He pointed at Ling and Xia Mi, "Did they abuse you?"

"Now is not the time to reminisce, Brother Tang." Kotetsu asked Old Tang anxiously, "Where is the long ship guarding the ground? And where are the other people from the Kansai branch?"

"Dead, all of them." Old Tang sighed, looking sad. "To be honest, I was a bit unkind, but Brother Changchuan has his own problems, too. He's so stubborn."

"All dead? How could they all be dead?" Ying Xiu was stunned and asked in disbelief, "What do you mean? Was there an enemy attack? Changchuan and the others were stubborn and refused to leave, so they were all killed. You are the only one who survived, right?"

Chapter 548 The reinforcements are all dead

"Have Ryoma Genichirō's Self-Defense Force and the Fuma Clan's ninjas returned? Or have reinforcements arrived from Kassel Academy?" Kotetsu also looked at Old Tang. "What about you, Brother Tang? How did you survive? What's the situation up there now?"

Old Tang looked at Hu Che with strange eyes. Hu Che's series of questions had confused him. Now Old Tang just felt that his brother seemed to have too rich imagination.

"There was no enemy surprise attack. Brother Kotetsu and Brother Kagehide, those Ryoma Genichirō, the Self-Defense Forces, the ninjas you mentioned...none of them showed up." Old Tang shook his head. "Originally, Brother Nagashune could have survived, but he was determined to get himself killed...Now there's no one left alive up there."

"Changchuan is courting death? What do you mean?" Yingxiu was stunned. "Changchuan is indeed always out of tune with us and has many quirks, but Changchuan is known for his cautious character. How could he possibly seek death?"

"I didn't lie to you. I promised Brother Changchuan that if he helped me take out those people from the Guanxi branch, I wouldn't kill him. I'd just incapacitate him." Old Tang said angrily. "But Brother Changchuan is so stubborn. He insisted on targeting me. Not only did he instigate the Guanxi branch to attack me, he even crouched there, aiming his sniper rifle at me."

"Of course I can't just sit there and wait for death. We have friendship, but I can't really watch Brother Changchuan shoot me to death with his own hands." Old Tang spread his hands, his tone innocent, "So I had to quickly get rid of the people from the Guanxi branch and then fight back. I offered Brother Changchuan a chance to live, but he refused. Don't you think Brother Changchuan is just courting death?"

"What do you mean? Brother Tang, I don't quite understand what you're saying." Kotetsu was a little stunned. "Why did you want to get rid of the people from the Kansai branch? And why did you make Changchuan incapacitated? Are you saying that you killed both the people from the Kansai branch and Changchuan? Are you kidding me?"

"Old Tang, this isn't funny!" Ying Xiu glared at Old Tang. "It's okay to talk nonsense and brag at the table, but now is not the time to joke around. Don't say such nonsense!"

"He shouldn't be kidding you." Luo Ye, who had been calm until then, suddenly spoke up. She looked at Old Tang, "You're not a member of the Ghost Clan, are you? I'm referring to your true identity. You're not the Dragon King's messenger at all. You're in cahoots with the Kassel Academy, right?"

"I have nothing to do with Kassel College." Old Tang shrugged. "To be precise, Mingming and I are in the same group."

"It shouldn't be too difficult for you to deal with Changchuan and those people from the Kansai branch, just like your friends dealt with me and Xiao Zhuo." Luoye looked at Lao Tang with a questioning look in his eyes. "We are like ants in your eyes. Fighting us is just a game for you, right?"

"Oh, Luoye, so the person next to you is Xiao Xu? I thought it was a female ghost squatting there! It scared me to death!" Old Tang looked at Xia Mi and asked with some complaints, "I wonder if you were too harsh?"

"It's not that I have some quirk of torturing people. This was all the woman's own request. She threatened me to rip her mouth apart, and I just fulfilled her wish." Xia Mi rolled her eyes at Old Tang. "You're still blaming me? Didn't you kill all the people above you?"

"Didn't my brother Changchuan bring his own death upon himself? Speaking of which, the brothers and sisters in the Kanto branch are all quite perverted. But I never thought that you, Xiao Xu, also have a habit of having your face torn off. This is considered unique in the Kanto branch, which is full of weirdos." Old Tang sighed to Xiao Xu, then his eyes fell on Luo Ye, "Sister Luo Ye is right. My body is getting rusty after not moving for so long. It's nice to move around like this occasionally. I don't need to feel guilty about fighting someone who wants to kill me."

"It's actually you!" Yingxiu glared at Old Tang, his astonishment and anger evident in his expression, like a cuckold who had just discovered his wife was cheating on him. "Kuche and I trusted you so much, treating you to drinks every night, and you turned out to be a traitor!"

"That's not called a traitor, it's called an undercover agent." Old Tang raised his eyebrows. "After all, I knew Mingming first. We have a life-or-death relationship. I will definitely give priority to Mingming's request."

"I didn't expect you to be in cahoots with these people." Kotetsu looked at Old Tang, then at Ling and Xia Mi. "Working together from within and without to defeat us one by one, this was your plan from the beginning... Should I praise your disguise for being so effective? You fooled all of us."

"Thank you for the compliment, Brother Hu Che. I didn't intend to defeat you one by one. I really didn't intend to kill you." Old Tang scratched the back of his head and said to Hu Che sincerely, "To be honest, I really don't hate you. I've been getting along quite well with you brothers these days. Otherwise, I wouldn't have said goodbye to Brother Changchuan, who has the worst relationship with me. I see that Brother Hu Che and Brother Yingxiu have been tortured by my friend. So, let me offer you the same conditions that I offered Brother Changchuan... If you are willing to completely cripple your hands and feet, I will plead for you and my friend."

"Do you want me to become a cripple?" Hu Che said coldly to Old Tang, "A man should break his legs and die a dignified death rather than live in humiliation and with bent knees... Or you can just be straightforward and kill us... But in the end, no one of you will be able to escape."

"Brother Kotetsu, the stubborn personalities of the team leaders of your Kanto branch are truly cut from the same cloth. Brother Changchuan was like this, and now you are the same." Old Tang shook his head and sighed helplessly, "I've made an exception and given you a chance because of our friendship, but you refuse to cherish it and keep speaking harshly to me... What's the point of doing this? It's not like we'll stay here with you just because you, Brother Kotetsu, say we can't leave."

"Do you think that killing us will end all your problems? That you can occupy the Red Well? That you can obtain the 'God' in the Well of Corpses?" Hu Che looked at Old Tang and said coldly, enduring the severe pain in his body. "Old Tang, although you are not a member of the Ghost Clan, you have also received orders from the Ghost Clan. You should know better than us that in General Wang's plan, we are just an advance force coming to the Red Well to confirm the authenticity of the intelligence. We are not even one-tenth of the main force."

"The other leaders of the Kanto branch and the fiercest thirteen reinforcement teams, led by the newly appointed officers of the Oni Clan with the title of Shogi, will soon arrive in the Tama River area. Even if every one of you were as skilled as Chu Zihang or Minamoto Chisei, you wouldn't be able to defeat them. They have a hopeless force. The vanguard and elite of the Oni Clan are enough to destroy even three or two of the Eight Snake Clans." Kotetsu sneered, his voice growing louder. "By then, Hongjing will still be under the control of Lord Wangjiang. You will never be able to defeat him no matter what."

"The other team leaders of the Kanto branch and the thirteen most ferocious squads of the Oni Clan?" Old Tang seemed to remember something and suddenly realized, "Oh, oh, you mean the two hundred or so people who came with Nagamitsu, Kanemitsu and the others a few minutes ago? So, brother Kotetsu, you're so confident because of those people."

Kotetsu was stunned for a moment, then frowned slightly... From what Old Tang said, it seemed that the reinforcements of the other team leaders of the Kanto branch and the Menggui Clan had arrived?

"If you, Brother Hu Che, are pinning all your hopes on those people, you're probably going to be disappointed." Old Tang looked at Hu Che with a look of regret and said, "Because they're dead too... That hopeless force you mentioned, I slaughtered them all."

"How is it possible! How is it possible!" Yingxiu yelled at Lao Tang in disbelief, "You are lying! You must be deceiving us. How could you kill so many people by yourself? I started to doubt you when you said you killed people from Changchuan and the Kansai branch."

"Changchuan is an extremely cautious person. He excels at long-range guerrilla warfare. How could you possibly eliminate Changchuan and his men in such a short time? Besides, Changguang and Jianguang are not to be trifled with!" Yingxiu glared at Old Tang fiercely, his bloodshot eyes filled with doubt. "There were also hundreds of elite members of the Menggui Clan. How could you have killed over two hundred hybrids in less than ten minutes? Not even Yuan Zhisheng could have done such a thing! With so many people, even if they didn't use the power of the Word Spirit, they could tear you to pieces with just guns and knives! If you really had that ability, why didn't you finish us off up there? Why did you have to wait until we separated in the tunnel and you and your companions reunited?"

"Didn't I already tell you? I really wanted to spare your lives." Old Tang held his forehead and sighed, "I originally thought we'd get along well, Brother Yingxiu, but I didn't expect it to be so difficult to communicate. These days, no one believes you if you're a good person, and no one believes you if you're a bad person... I was right, but when it comes to the critical moment, you Japanese are really just stubborn!"

Kotetsu wanted to say something but was interrupted by Luo Ye.

"Stop talking, Kotetsu, Yingxiu." Luoye looked at his two companions, "He didn't lie to you, what he said should be true."

Kotetsu and Yingxiu were both stunned. They stared at Luoye blankly, as if they couldn't understand why the usually calmest companion in the team would suddenly testify for their enemy.

"Yeah, Miss Luoye is still the most likable one. She's pretty and sensible." Old Tang grinned at Luoye and then looked at the people from the Guandong branch. "I really did kill all those people. Their bodies were turned to ashes. Brother Yingxiu, do you think ten minutes was fast? I think ten minutes is too long. If I didn't have to deal with so many people, would it have taken me ten minutes to get to the tunnel?"

"Actually, if you think about it carefully, I haven't lied to you all these days. My name is indeed Lao Tang, and my friends all call me that. I have never said that I am a member of the Ghost Clan, but I am really the Dragon King's messenger, because my identity was arranged for me by that Japanese man named Fengjian Liuli himself." Lao Tang said to Hu Che and Ying Xiu with a sincere face, "It's true that I can chat with you brothers Hu Che and Ying Xiu. I originally thought that the days of lurking in the Ghost Clan would be boring, but you treated me to drinks and discussed with me who has bigger breasts, Xiao Zhu or Luo Ye. Actually, you are very considerate. If you hadn't come here with a mission, maybe I could really become brothers with you..."

Old Tang was obviously a chatterbox, and he could talk endlessly whether he was talking about gossip or sentimental words... Looking at this man with a funny appearance and mediocre personality, and then looking at the figure of the girl in the blue skirt, Luo Ye took a deep breath. Now she was finally sure of one thing.

Just like the girl in the blue dress who was beyond his understanding, this man named Lao Tang... was also a monster!

Therefore, Luo Ye was not surprised at all that he was able to kill the other team leaders of the Kanto branch and the reinforcements of the Ghost Clan, because she had seen the unreasonable ability of the girl in the blue skirt... Once upon a time, Luo Ye and the others thought that Yuan Zhisheng, who had royal blood, was already the pinnacle of the world of mixed-bloods, but these people were undoubtedly far ahead of Yuan Zhisheng... They had surpassed the limits of mixed-bloods and were creatures of another dimension, different from themselves and others.

"People like you...are you also interested in the power of 'God'?" Luo Ye interrupted Lao Tang's endless chatter and asked Lao Tang and Xia Mi in a low voice.

"To say I'm not interested would be a lie. Cannibalism can happen to any species. It has nothing to do with how powerful a species is; it stems from the inherent greed of living things." Xia Mi revealed the cruel truth of this world to Luo Ye. "This is the inferior nature that the Creator left deep in the souls of living things when he created them. In fact, the more powerful a species is, the more intense this inferior nature becomes."

"Give me an example," Xia Mi snapped her fingers. "Suppose, for example, that the young master of the Sheqi Eight Clan, Yuan Zhisheng, died one day. Whoever ate his corpse would inherit his 'Royal Blood'. But there's only one 'Royal Blood'. You, the leaders of the Kanto branch, would kill each other for that power, right?"

Luo Ye nodded slowly, expressing his agreement with Xia Mi's words. After a moment's silence, Luo Ye looked at Xia Mi and Old Tang and asked softly, "So, how will you distribute the power of 'God'? There is only one 'God' relic.' Will you kill each other for the ultimate power?"

This is a fatal question. Luo Ye is worthy of being the calmest military advisor of the Kanto branch. In such a desperate situation, she can still ask such a heart-wrenching question... Since Xia Mi said that the nature of living things is greedy, then the remains of "God" are undoubtedly a fatal temptation for powerful guys like them. Luo Ye's question directly points to the bad nature of Xia Mi and Lao Tang.

Chapter 549 Master Yue and Fengjian Liuli

Hearing Luo Ye's question, Old Tang and Xia Mi looked at each other.

"Under normal circumstances, facing the remains of that person, we would definitely fall out... and probably start a fight, right?" Old Tang asked Xia Mi tentatively.

"Forget about fighting." Xia Mi sneered, "If that power were before us, we would all kill each other without hesitation to fight for it, right? At least I would definitely not care about dignity and face, and find an opportunity to kill you."

"Fuck, you're not even going to talk about our friendship after all these years?" Old Tang was filled with indignation. "You're actually going to kill me?"

"Don't give me that." Xia Mi crossed her arms over her chest and rolled her eyes. "There's only one ultimate beneficiary. If I fight with you, don't you want to kill me? Just admit it honestly. After all these years, how could I not understand your character?"

"Honestly, I really didn't want to kill you," Old Tang muttered. "I was thinking of sealing you or eating half of you would be enough. After all, we've been friends for so many years. Killing you without hesitation would be too cold-blooded."

"Then I have to thank you, but your personality has indeed become much gentler than before." Xia Mi turned her head to look at Luo Ye, "You asked this question, are you trying to provoke a dispute between me and Old Tang?"

Luo Ye was silent for a moment, then nodded slowly and spoke truthfully, "Honestly, I asked this question half out of genuine curiosity, and half because, as you said, I wanted to sow discord between you... But I'm not naive enough to think that just asking a question will immediately create a dispute between you, and I don't expect the few of us to survive if we fall into your hands, but I think the question I raised can at least plant the seeds of resentment in your hearts for a moment."

"The weak always think that the strong only possess brute force, while they possess wisdom that surpasses the strong. However, they don't know that the strong are strong because they are superior in all aspects, not only in force but also in intelligence." Xia Mi glanced at Luo Ye. "Your idea is naive, but your approach is understandable. However, there is no need for your provocation. Under normal circumstances, it is difficult for Old Tang and I to get along harmoniously, let alone now facing such a deadly temptation... But I regret to tell you that your expectations have been dashed. The relationship between Old Tang and I has eased a lot now, and we can't fight today."

"Why?" Luo Ye asked in a low voice, "Didn't you say greed is a basic biological trait? Is there anything that can curb the instinct of greed?"

"Because of Mingming." Old Tang smiled brightly. "Mingming is a righteous man and has helped us so much. He may be greedy, but there are limits to this bad habit. There are always some things that are more important than brothers."

"Mingming?" Luo Ye looked up at Xia Mi in confusion, with confusion written all over her face. She had heard this name from Old Tang several times.

"That's Senior Brother Mingfei, Lu Mingfei, the one wanted by both the Sheqi Eight Clans and the Fierce Ghost Clan." Xia Mi nodded towards Old Tang. "'Mingming' is the name this guy uses for Senior Brother Mingfei."

"Lu Mingfei?" Luo Ye's eyes flickered slightly, and he was obviously surprised by the answer.

People like Lao Tang, Xia Mi, and even Ling appeared in the Tama River area at such a critical moment. It was obvious that someone was instructing them behind the scenes, just like the appearance of the Kanto branch and the Kansai branch here was at the instruction of Lord General Wang.

But Luo Ye could never have imagined that who had such huge energy to drive monsters like Lao Tang and Xia Mi?

Luo Ye thought about whether the person behind the scenes might be the Sheqi Eight Clans, but she immediately ruled out this hypothesis, because if the Sheqi Eight Clans controlled these two huge forces, they could easily drive Lao Tang and Xia Mi to directly crush the Menggui Clan. Wouldn't it be a waste of time to send them to the Hongjing area to ambush the Guandong branch and the Menggui Clan's troops?

Moreover, Luo Ye didn't think that the Eight Clans of Sheqi had the ability to invite people like Lao Tang and Xia Mi.

Xia Mi and Ling are from Kassel Academy. Luo Ye has also wondered if it was Kassel Academy that instructed them to do all this. But even if it was Angé, the principal of Kassel Academy, Luo Ye did not think that the old man who was known as the strongest dragon slayer in the world had the ability to command Lao Tang and Xia Mi, two forbidden beings. What's more, playing tricks has never been the old man's character. With Angé's temper, if the power he holds in his hands far exceeds that of the enemy, he would prefer to go straight to the point.

Luo Ye even considered whether they might be from the board of directors of Kassel Academy and the older dragon-slaying families behind it... but no matter what, she never expected it to be Lu Mingfei.

Lu Mingfei... the Lu Mingfei who kidnapped Uesugi Eri was indeed incredible, and the confidentiality of his personal information was the most complete in the group. But no matter in the eyes of the Ghost Clan or the Snake Eight Families, Lu Mingfei has always been the least noticeable one in the three-person group sent to Japan by Kassel Academy. He has neither the leadership temperament of Caesar nor the decisiveness of Chu Zihang. In short, when the three of them stood there, the crowd's attention would most likely be attracted by Caesar and Chu Zihang first.

It turns out that all of this was just a cover-up. It turns out that this guy hid it so deeply. After knowing the truth, Luo Ye felt that "this is right, that person should be the hidden key figure."

It feels like a stage play has come to an end, the curtain is slowly drawn open, and the boss behind the scenes reveals his true face. You are surprised to find that he is actually an insignificant little person throughout the whole situation. He has not played a decisive role in every event, but he is involved in every major event, so he should be the instigator of everything... The truth is so unexpected yet reasonable.

"So that's how it is... So that's how it is." Luo Ye came back to his senses and couldn't help but sigh, "So it's Lu Mingfei, what an unexpected guy... He's hiding too well."

As soon as Luoye finished speaking, her white skirt flashed, and with a ray of sharp knife light, Luoye's head rolled down, and bright red blood gushed out from the broken neck like a fountain.

"Fallen leaves!" Xiao Zhu looked at her sister who was sighing deeply in the last second and died in the next second. She couldn't help but shout at the top of her lungs.

"How dare you kill Luoye! How dare you kill Luoye!" Xiao Zhu's gaze shifted to the white figure holding a knife standing beside Luoye's body. Her face twisted into that of a resentful female ghost, and she cursed in a shrill voice, "I will kill you! I will definitely kill you! I will make you pay for Luoye's life..."

However, before Xiao Xu could finish her words, the same knife light that she saw before Luo Ye was killed flashed before her eyes. She tried her best to open her eyes wide, and the whole world was spinning in her sight. Until the sound of falling to the ground was heard, her eyes became dark. This was Xiao Xu's last consciousness... she was dead.

Just like Luo Ye, she also had her head chopped off by the girl in the white dress.

So, Kassel Academy is full of these kinds of people... They are either monsters as powerful as the girl in the blue dress who make people despair and suffocate, or killers like the girl in the white dress and Chu Zihang who are even more ruthless than Asuya... It really is a paradise for lunatics.

"Hey, classmate Ling, you were way too quick! You killed them without a word." Old Tang looked at the two voluptuous, headless corpses of Luoye and Xiaoxu, and said with regret, "These are the most beautiful and famous sisters in the Kanto branch. When I first got there, Xiaoxu was flirting with me. I haven't had the chance to have a drink with them yet."

"At first, they thought you were a big shot in the Ghost Clan and wanted to get some benefits from you. But later, they saw through your loser nature and decided there was no need to curry favor with you." Xia Mi rolled her eyes at Old Tang. "You don't think that woman is interested in you, do you? It's said that she seduces everyone and has slept with all the men in the Kanto branch. She even wants to seduce Chu Zihang."

The sarcasm in Xia Mi's tone towards Lao Tang was obvious, and Ling's expression was even more direct.

Ling looked at the fallen leaves, then at Xiao Zhu, and simply said to Old Tang, "It's just okay."

What Ling meant was that the "most beautiful sisters in the Kansai branch" mentioned by Old Tang were just average.

Old Tang wanted to speak up for Xiao Xu and Luo Ye's looks, but after glancing at the cool and proud Ling, then at the pure and beautiful Xia Mi, he could only mutter, "You say average, so-so... I mean, among ordinary people, they're already rare beauties, but how can they compare to these monstrous beauties like you? According to what we say in our StarCraft group, it's like comparing the village champion to a professional athlete who's placed in a national competition. How can they be compared?"

"If you're doing this for Lu Mingfei, what's Lu Mingfei's real purpose?" a director from the Guanxi branch asked Old Tang and the others. "You're here to open the Well of Corpses, right? Do you want to obtain 'God'? Or kill 'God'?"

Old Tang, Xia Mi and Ling exchanged glances.

"We don't want to get 'God' and we won't kill 'God'." Zero said lightly.

"You don't want to obtain 'God,' nor do you want to kill 'God?'" Ying Xiu demanded. "What do you mean by that? Then what's your purpose in coming to the Red Well? Is it just to snipe us? Are you trying to seal 'God' forever in the Well of Corpses?"

"No, we will dig through the Well of Hidden Bones and let the contents flow into the Red Well along with the water of the Red Devil River," Xia Mi said. "The mercury and thermite incendiary bombs prepared by the Eight Snake Families can also be put to use. Those are lethal to dragons."

"So your goal is still to kill 'God'?" Hu Che looked at Lao Tang and the other two with burning eyes.

"Mortal weapons like mercury and thermite incendiary bombs can't kill the emperor's remains." Old Tang shook his head, his expression serious for once. "Mercury and thermite incendiary bombs killed the subspecies of dragons in the Red Devil River. After all, if these creatures were to spread into Japanese territory, it would be quite troublesome... As for the emperor's remains, I clearly intended to give them to your Lord General."

"What are you talking about? Give it to General Wang?" Hu Che said in disbelief, "How could Lu Mingfei give 'God' to General Wang? Didn't you come here to stop us just to prevent General Wang from getting 'God'..."

"You have too many questions, and we have no obligation to answer them." Xia Mi knocked on the rock wall of the tunnel. "It's almost time. We have to get back to work. There is no point in you existing anymore."

As Xia Mi knocked, the rock walls of the tunnel flowed like water, and the hard rocks turned into dark brown waves, burying and swallowing Kotetsu, Yingxiu and the people of the Kansai branch.

……

Late at night, in the back streets of Tokyo National University, in the alleys where the wind and rain were raging.

Recently, the University of Tokyo and nearby residents have been feeling a little puzzled because the ramen stall that has been open here for a long time has been open rain or shine all these years. No matter whether it is college students who have forgotten the time due to studying, or office workers who work overtime until late at night, Chef Yue's ramen stall has never refused any customers and has never raised prices for decades. However, in recent weeks, it has always closed early or closed down directly.

Someone took advantage of the break in the business to ask a few questions to Master Yue, the owner of the ramen stall. The old man just replied with a smile that his child had come to him... But everyone knows that Master Yue has been living here alone for so many years, without a wife or children, so how could he have a child?

But Master Yue's face, brimming with happiness, was incredibly sincere. He often described his three children to his guests. The eldest, a son, was ambitious and now a major figure in the Japanese underworld. The second, also a son, was more handsome than a little girl and a traditional actor in the Japanese Kabuki industry. The third, a daughter, was incredibly beautiful and intelligent. In short, she was perfect in every way, except for a sly boy boyfriend who she was completely devoted to...
