"Hmm?"
"Right here? What do you mean?"
Matsushita Mizuki stared at him, roaring angrily, "Where is it? Are you trying to die, playing games with me?"
In his eyes, the young man before him was dressed in a luxurious Western suit but possessed no martial aura.
He thought the other party was trying to negotiate, to share the ten billion US dollars.
So he threatened him, "Where is the person you found? Money is a small matter. If you delay the important affairs of the Shenji, can you bear the responsibility?"
"I said here, he is here. See for yourself if you don't believe me."
As the young man's voice fell, the appearance of his face was slowly changing.
"!!!"
Matsushita Mizuki's heart was filled with horror as he saw his face, and his complexion suddenly turned deathly pale.
The photo on the bounty order he still held in his hand was exactly the same as the man standing before him.
Chen Jiuyang looked at him with a smile, "See, isn't it here?"
"Creak..."
At this moment, Matsushita's body trembled, and his bones made cracking sounds due to the violent fluctuations of his qi and blood.
A moment later, his face was full of terror, and he opened his mouth and roared, "Help..."
"That's not good."
Chen Jiuyang's expression was calm, his eyes slightly cold. He extended a finger and pressed him down, silencing his voice and rendering him immobile. Dense demonic energy instantly filled the entire dojo, preventing his voice from being heard.
"It's over..." Matsushita Mizuki's heart sank to the bottom.
Chen Jiuyang slowly walked up to him, glanced at the bounty order in his hand, and the intelligence data about him.
"Quite interesting."
The five great sacred lands were willing to leak his information to kill him.
However, he currently had no official identity. His Dragon Country ID card stated he was from Qingzhu Town, Ziyang City, Feng Province.
Chen Jiuyang looked at him and said, "You've cultivated to the Heavenly Realm at such a young age, which is not bad. As long as you cooperate with me honestly, I will spare your life, understand?"
He had learned Japanese when he came to Dongying on a mission a few years ago.
Matsushita Mizuki's fearful eyes blinked, as if showing goodwill and agreement.
Chen Jiuyang retracted his finger.
"Hoo! Hoo! Hoo!"
Matsushita Mizuki immediately felt that he could move and breathe again. Boundless darkness and gloom surged in his heart, without any sense of relief after escaping danger.
This was the gap between the Heavenly Realm and the Venerable Realm! A chasm!
It was too terrifying!
They were clearly around the same age.
Matsushita Mizuki spoke, looking at Chen Jiuyang with fear, "How would Your Excellency want me to cooperate?"
Chen Jiuyang sat down with a relaxed expression and said,
"Answer a few questions first."
"What is the Myriad Peoples' Ranking?"
Matsushita Mizuki was stunned. This great figure didn't even know what the Myriad Peoples' Ranking was?
He then dared not to be perfunctory and said, "Dragon Country has recovered, and the myriad paths of Earth have revived. It is rumored that at the end of the Great Dao, the position of the Great Emperor of the Ten Thousand Races has been vacated."
"Those who can ascend the Myriad Peoples' Ranking are able to walk the path to the Great Emperor of the Ten Thousand Races."
"This matter is not a secret. The places with the most prosperous national destiny in various countries on Earth all have this ranking."
Chen Jiuyang was taken aback. This was the path of the Human Emperor he had heard about before.
It turned out to be the path of the Great Emperor of the Ten Thousand Races, but this path was destined to be walked only by martial artists.
Human Emperors could not meet each other. Once an Emperor attained enlightenment, the myriad paths would resonate, and only after tens of thousands of years of their demise, when the myriad paths returned to peace, could the next Human Emperor be born.
The Human Emperor's path was set in the Big Dipper Realm, and the starting point of the Great Emperor's path was on Earth.
Chen Jiuyang temporarily put this matter aside and continued to ask,
"If I pretend to be your subordinate, can you take me out of Dongying Country and go to the Tsarist Combat Nation?"
"I cannot do this, Your Excellency..."
"My Matsushita Group is a small organization under Shenji. Without orders, we cannot leave our responsible area at will."
"Only the superior who directly manages me has the qualification to move freely."
"Oh?" Chen Jiuyang's eyes flickered, "Take me to see the person who manages you."
...
The structure of Shenji was like a pyramid. The Shenji Alliance Headquarters had the power to mobilize every organization within Shenji. The subordinates were managed by medium-sized organizations at the Heavenly Realm and above, responsible for different regions of Dongying Country.
If Shenji was a first-tier organization, then the Matsushita Group was a third-tier organization.
The organization directly managing the Matsushita Group, the Wind Blade Society, was a second-tier organization.
The president of the Wind Blade Society was a renowned master of extraordinary swordsmanship!
Chen Jiuyang had previously killed an extraordinary swordsmanship master from Dongying Country.
Within Dongying Country, three forces were divided: the Imperial Family, Shenji, and the Lighthouse Country's Alpha.
"The world has truly changed..."
Qingchuan Yiguang, over a hundred years old, with cultivation at the Venerable Realm, his appearance was that of a middle-aged man, with white hair on his head: "Being able to stir up such a storm before the age of thirty."
"Shenji is willing to pay such a high price this time. Chen Jiuyang and I are both at the sixth level of the Venerable Realm. If I kill him, can I ask for an immortal cultivation technique from the five great sacred lands of Dragon Country to exchange for a longer lifespan?"
There were many immortal cultivators in Dragon Country, but those who could cultivate to the Nascent Soul stage relied on powerful factions or noble families. Top-tier cultivation techniques were simply not available to the outside world.
Loose cultivators could at most cultivate to the Golden Core stage. The mastery of cultivation techniques was the fundamental reason for the eternal inheritance of major families and sects.
For elders like him who had reached the end of their martial arts journey and found it difficult to improve, seeing Dragon Country revive and witnessing the enviable long lifespans of Dragon Country cultivators, he too was tempted.
"If I can switch from martial arts to immortal cultivation... there is still great potential for the future!"
Killing Chen Jiuyang would bring him everything. For people like Qingchuan Yiguang, a long life meant everything!
There was still great potential for the future!
"That Chen Jiuyang is in Tokyo, and my Wind Blade Society manages one-third of the Tokyo region! If the whereabouts of Chen Jiuyang are discovered in my managed area, I must kill him before others find him."
Greed flashed in Qingchuan Yiguang's eyes. Immortality was too tempting.
He was confident that he could kill this brat Chen Jiuyang.
He was currently sitting in the main hall of the Wind Blade Society headquarters, with people coming and going, reporting information.
He waited patiently, hoping that Chen Jiuyang's whereabouts would appear in his managed area.
Currently, dozens of groups within the Wind Blade Society, tens of thousands of people, were searching for Chen Jiuyang's whereabouts within the managed area. As soon as anything seemed amiss, he would immediately draw his sword and rush over!
He was currently brewing killing intent.
Not long after, his bodyguard walked in and said, "President, the Matsushita Group has possibly discovered the whereabouts of that Chen Jiuyang. To prevent information leakage, the leader of the Matsushita Group wishes to meet the president personally and is currently waiting outside."
"Good!"
Qingchuan Yiguang's eyes burst with brilliance: "As expected, destiny is with me!!!"
In a short period, his subordinates had discovered Chen Jiuyang's whereabouts.
The path to longevity awaited him!
