The elder in the kimono escorted Chen Jiuyang back home. Before getting out of the car, he gently patted "Lin Yuuanmu's" shoulder and said, "As long as the prince can be awakened, the Divine Assembly will give you everything you desire."
"Yes, Great Lord," "Lin Yuuanmu" trembled with excitement. "I will use all I have to prove my worth to the Divine Assembly!"
"Mm," the elder in the kimono nodded slowly. This was the expected reaction of a commoner who had ascended to heaven in a single step.
After the elder in the kimono left, Chen Jiuyang stood alone in the courtyard, his expression darkening.
The coma of the Eastern Ying prince had actually involved the Lotus Sect.
A sense of crisis washed over Chen Jiuyang. The Eastern Ying royal family and the people of the Divine Assembly might be easy to fool and handle.
But the moment he thought of the Lotus Sect, Chen Jiuyang thought of that old monster from the Lotus Sect. After the King of Yan fought with that old monster, his whereabouts seemed to have vanished.
What if that old monster came to Eastern Ying?
She could devour people's souls and national destiny.
What if she set her sights on Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian?
The thought sent a shiver down Chen Jiuyang's spine.
That old monster from the Lotus Sect was too terrifying; even the King of Yan could only repel her.
He had met this old monster twice and knew that if he encountered her, he would surely die, unable to withstand even a single move.
The more he thought about it, the more Chen Jiuyang felt a chill.
It was likely that the Eastern Ying royal family and the Divine Assembly easily allowed a minor figure like him to try, precisely because they knew of this old monster's existence.
Something was wrong.
Something was definitely wrong. If this old monster from the Lotus Sect was in Eastern Ying, why did she only target the Eastern Ying prince at that time and not Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian?
Was the Eastern Ying people's search for the whereabouts of Dragon Country citizens in Tokyo not aimed at the soldiers hidden in Eastern Ying, but at finding the whereabouts of the Lotus Sect and that old monster?
Dragon Country had the Royal Sword, which prevented this old monster from daring to enter Dragon Country. Eastern Ying should also have similar means to deal with this old monster.
Wait...
If it was indeed this old monster from the Lotus Sect, and the Lotus Sect had considerable influence in Tokyo, then he might be targeted.
"No!"
"The plan must be changed!"
"We must first rescue Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian and send them back to Dragon Country!"
Chen Jiuyang called Huo Yuanzhong and told him his suspicions and the seriousness of the situation. Huo Yuanzhong's face also changed drastically:
"Lieutenant Cao Xuan, what do you intend to do?"
"With my disguise skills, I can easily carry out the '狸猫换太子' (Li Mao Huan Tai Zi - a stratagem of substituting one person for another). I can capture two Eastern Ying people and replace Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian, then use the channels of the Apocalypse Army to smuggle the two back to Dragon Country."
"Lieutenant Cao, this plan is feasible, but the risk of exposure is also very high." Huo Yuanzhong frowned and asked, "Are you sure you want to do this?"
"Certain!" Chen Jiuyang said solemnly.
It's better to be safe than sorry.
If that old monster from the Lotus Sect was indeed in Eastern Ying, Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian would be doomed!
Huo Yuanzhong hung up the phone and went to prepare for the operation.
An hour later, Chen Jiuyang's figure disappeared from the courtyard of the "Lin Yuan" family and got into a seven-seater minivan.
In the car sat Huo Yuanzhong, two other soldiers, and two Eastern Ying criminals who would do anything for money.
Huo Yuanzhong explained in Dragon Country language, "Lieutenant Cao Xuan, we have investigated the place where Lord Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian are under house arrest. It's a five-star hotel in Tokyo Port District. We will disguise ourselves as cleaning staff."
Chen Jiuyang nodded slowly and looked at the two Eastern Ying people, a man and a woman, "What about these two?"
The soldier with yellow hair said, "Lieutenant Cao Xuan, these two are criminals from Shibuya. I offered them two million Eastern Ying currency to help us with something, and they agreed."
Chen Jiuyang was slightly taken aback and said, "Well done."
Then Chen Jiuyang spoke to the two in Eastern Ying language, "Close your eyes, I need to doll you up."
The Eastern Ying people didn't understand Dragon Country language, but they understood Eastern Ying language. Seeing Chen Jiuyang speak, they said, "Money first, then work."
Chen Jiuyang sneered inwardly. They had the life to take this money, but he didn't know if they had the life to spend it. He calmly said, "Give them the money first."
Huo Yuanzhong gave the two Eastern Ying people four million Eastern Ying currency.
The Eastern Ying man and woman took the money, their eyes showing greed, and then cooperated with Chen Jiuyang, closing their eyes.
Then Chen Jiuyang took out silver needles and gently pricked their faces. Huo Yuanzhong and the soldier with yellow hair were dumbfounded, marveling at his skill.
The appearance of these two Eastern Ying people gradually transformed into the likeness of Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian.
After the disguise, to prevent these two Eastern Ying people and others from noticing any issues with their appearance, Chen Jiuyang put masks on them.
Upon arriving at the hotel where Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian were under house arrest, there were no Eastern Ying warriors guarding inside or out. Only the floor where they were staying had a few warriors guarding, so there was no fear of them daring to escape.
After all, Lin Xianxing was a high-ranking official of Dragon Country, and he was innocent, so he was not afraid of anything.
Huo Yuanzhong said, "Lieutenant Cao Xuan, we will park downstairs and wait for your good news."
"Mm," Chen Jiuyang responded with a heavy voice, then took the Eastern Ying man and woman and changed into cleaning uniforms, sneaking in through the back door of the hotel.
"Dong! Dong! Dong!"
At this moment, even the steady Chen Jiuyang's heart was a little erratic.
The three of them pushed a cleaning cart and took the staff-only elevator to the floor where Lin Xianxing and Lin Yuexian were under house arrest.
Two Eastern Ying warriors stood guard at the door, their expressions stern.
Just then.
"Creak—"
A room door opened, and two women, an old one and a young one, walked out.
Chen Jiuyang's pupils contracted sharply: "Ming Huatong!"
And beside Ming Huatong was that old monster from the King of Yan who had fought with the King of Yan!
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
Chen Jiuyang's heart began to pound wildly.
This was bad!
He hadn't expected his guess to be correct. The coma of the Eastern Ying prince was indeed the work of the Lotus Sect!
"Drip!"
Chen Jiuyang, who had faced many storms in his twenty-odd years, broke out in a cold sweat for the first time.
Because Chen Jiuyang was disguised, Ming Huatong and the old monster from the Lotus Sect did not recognize him.
Ming Huatong and the old monster from the Lotus Sect walked towards Chen Jiuyang, as if heading towards the elevator.
Chen Jiuyang did not dare to evade, fearing he would reveal himself, so he could only brace himself and walk forward with the Eastern Ying man and woman beside him.
"Excuse us! Excuse us! We're here to clean the guest rooms!"
The Eastern Ying woman beside Chen Jiuyang spoke in Eastern Ying.
Chen Jiuyang didn't want to attract the attention of Ming Huatong and the old monster from the Lotus Sect. Unexpectedly, this Eastern Ying woman actually spoke up. What if he was recognized by the old monster from the Lotus Sect?
At this moment, Chen Jiuyang's killing intent surged.
The old woman beside Ming Huatong said kindly, "Tong'er, what is she saying."
"Grandma," Ming Huatong said affectionately, "The Eastern Ying person is saying they are cleaning and asking us to move aside, not to block their cleaning cart."
"Oh," the old woman from the Lotus Sect said kindly, leaning against the wall, allowing Chen Jiuyang and the three of them to push the cleaning cart past.
Suddenly, the old woman from the Lotus Sect's kind expression turned ferocious, her eyes greedy and terrifying:
"I smell a familiar and very fragrant scent..."
"Tong'er, tell these three Eastern Ying people to stop. There's something strange about them."
"Thump! Thump! Thump!"
At this moment, Chen Jiuyang's heart pounded uncontrollably, ready to strike and escape at any moment!
