n

nThe sun rose and the dark night faded away.

n

nThe night was over, and a brand new day had started.

n

nChen Yiming stood in front of a flowerbed and looked at the vibrant flowers in front of him.

n

nThe entire blue planet was affected by the space-travel passage from the otherworld. Even if these plants could not evolve into mutant plants, they had become more beautiful and lively.

n

nIt had been almost a week since he had upgraded to his Level-3 swordsmanship talent. During this period, he could feel the progress of his internal force fusion every day.

n

nAlthough his Level-3 swordsmanship talent had only increased by one level compared to before, it had clearly improved his comprehension of swordsmanship.

n

nHe did not need to consult the seniors who had succeeded before to figure out and resolve the problems he encountered during the internal force fusion.

n

nHis intuition told him that he would only need another week to complete the cultivation of the internal force fusion.

n

nFrom a cultivation point of view, it was best for him to stay in Jiangnan City safely and wait for his cultivation to break through to the level where he could use his Sword Aura to fight on par with someone at the master realm.

n

nHowever, it was impossible for him to hide the fact that he had killed the sacrificial spirit obtained from the sacrificial ritual of the Asou clan. Once it was killed, something would definitely happen at the sacrificial ground.

n

nWhen this news spread among the large factions in Japan, it would definitely increase the difficulty of his subsequent trip to Japan. No matter how strong he was, it would be useless if he could not find these sacrificial spirits.

n

n“Master.”

n

nAsou Nishiko walked respectfully to Chen Yiming’s back.

n

nShe had already changed out of the red warrior outfit from the day before and was now wearing a black and white maid outfit. Her long hair was tied up behind her head.

n

nTo qualify as a servant, she first had to know how to keep her mouth shut. She did not speak or ask any questions unnecessarily.

n

nAll was silent, and only the occasional chirping of birds could be heard.

n

n“Let’s go to Japan now,” Chen Yiming instructed after thinking it through.

n

nIn order to prevent the sacrificial spirits from being hidden away, he decided to head to Japan as soon as possible.

n

n“Understood,” Asou Nishiko replied.

n

nSoon, Chen Yiming led Asou Nishiko out of the Benson Club. Asou Nishiko didn’t even think of changing out of her maid outfit, and just followed closely behind.

n

nAt the entrance of the club, Chen Yiming and Asou Nishiko were stopped by a few people in casual clothes.

n

nThese people were from the third special operations unit of the security bureau. They were in charge of the area where the abnormal incident happened in Jiangnan City.

n

nEarly this morning, the security bureau received a report that a woman from Japan had held a banquet and had secretly attacked a large number of warriors.

n

n“Consultant Chen, who is she?” a bald man asked as part of his duty.

n

nTo be honest, it was shocking to see a consultant from the security bureau getting involved with a Japanese woman who had committed a crime.

n

n“She’s a servant I just took in,” Chen Yiming said calmly.

n

nSeeing this situation, he was already prepared to lose his status as a consultant of the security bureau. He could go through other means to learn the method to break through to the master realm.

n

nThe method to speed up the upgrading of his swordsmanship talent was right in front of him. He could not give it up.

n

n“…”

n

nThe bald man was stunned.

n

nJudging from Asou Nishiko’s clothes, she was indeed a maid. However, the problem was that this Japanese woman had committed an unforgivable crime in the territory of the Daxia Kingdom.

n

nBut now, she had become the servant of a consultant from the security bureau. How should the special operations unit deal with this?

n

n“Consultant Chen, this is an act of protecting a criminal. You have to think carefully about it!”

n

na young man beside the bald man said.

n

nJust as this person said, Chen Yiming was openly protecting Asou NIshiko. Unless he had the strength to suppress the entire Jiangnan province, no one would be able to overlook his actions.

n

nIn the eyes of the members of the third special operations unit, Chen Yiming was just a consultant. He might have a lot of potential, but he was still young.

n

n“Wen Qin, it all depends on what the bureau chief says. Don’t spout nonsense,”

n

nthe bald man hurriedly turned around and reprimanded his partner in a low voice.

n

nThe face of the young team member called Wen Qin turned red as he suppressed the anger in his heart.

n

nAlthough what he said was right, it was indeed a little rash of him. He was not giving Consultant Chen any face at all and was directly identifying him as an accomplice of the criminal.

n

nAsou Nishiko, who was beside Chen Yiming, remained calm the entire time. She didn’t say a word to defend herself.

n

nHer temperament was that of a cold beauty. Even a maid’s outfit could not hide her attractive features.

n

nAt this moment, she was a little unhappy. These people did not know how powerful her master was and actually dared to question him.

n

nIt had to be known that the Sword Aura could kill a spirit at the peak of the warrior realm. If news of this spread, he would be an honored guest no matter where he went. As long as he did not commit a treasonous crime such as wiping out an entire city, it was impossible for him to be investigated.

n

n“Catch this,” Chen Yiming frowned and said.

n

nWith that, he took out his consultant ID and threw it to Wen Qin.

n

nAt this moment, he felt that joining the 100 members plan and becoming a consultant for the security bureau was no longer helpful for him.

n

nWith his speed of breaking through, he could not wait to slowly accumulate contribution points and exchange them for the highest reward, the method of breaking through to the master realm.

n

nThe young man called Wen Qin was dumbfounded.

n

nDid this mean he was quitting?

n

nThe consultant of the security bureau was also sort of a public official. He wanted to quit without obtaining the approval of the chief, and he even handled his identification documents so carelessly. This was too arrogant.

n

nThe bald man was also dumbfounded. This was no longer something that the special operations unit could handle.

n

n“Then let’s go,” Chen Yiming instructed Asou Nishiko.

n

nWith that, he left.

n

nAsou Nishiko followed closely behind Chen Yiming, leaving behind the two members from the third special operations unit.

n

nThings had suddenly become a lot more troublesome.

n

nAsou Nishiko was a Japanese woman who could control a group of warriors. Facing Chen Yiming, who could take her in as a servant, it was already the limit for the members of the third special operations unit to muster up the courage to go forward and question him. They would never dare to stop him.

n

nWhen bureau chief Xie Jimin received the news, he paced around the office trying to think of a solution.

n

nAt this time, Chen Yiming and Asou Nishiko had already arrived at the airport.

n

nWhen traveling through the air, one faced the threat from flying mutant beasts. However, it was not like all air travel was stopped. They just needed experts who had at least mastered the transformation of internal force to guard the plane.

n

nThe high costs associated with it caused air travel to become a form of transport that very few people were able to use. Coincidentally, Asou Nishiko had the ability to get tickets to travel between the Daxia Kingdom and Japan.

n

nWith Chen Yiming’s current strength, he wasn’t afraid of any troubles in the air. Furthermore, if he entered Japan via the sea, it would easily cause unnecessary trouble.

n

nTherefore, he planned to enter Japan the usual way.

n

n…

n

nOn the blue planet, Japan was once one of the top countries across the world.

n

nHowever, the invasion of the otherworld had caused almost all the maritime trade to come to a stop. As an island nation, the impact on Japan was much stronger than other countries.

n

nEven so, with the foundation they had built up in the past, the overall strength of Japan could not be underestimated.

n

nAt Kobe City’s airport, Chen Yiming and Asou Nishiko alighted from the plane.

n

nThe reason he had chosen this place was because Aso Nishiko was the most familiar with Kobe City and the surrounding cities. Chen Yiming wanted to destroy the spirits born from the sacrificial rituals as soon as possible before the Japanese martial arts factions could react.

n

n“Master, should we start with the Asou clan or the clans from the surrounding cities?” Asou Nishiko asked.

n

nAs a servant, she had to think from Chen Yiming’s perspective. The ideal target was undoubtedly her own clan.

n

nIn every generation, the Asou clan would create a sacrificial spirit. The people with the spirits in their bodies from the previous two generations had already died, but the spirits still lived in the clan as a foundation for it.

n
