Fortunately, everyone is now in an abandoned park with no one around, otherwise who knows how many ordinary people would be scared by Lao Hei's move.
Lao Hei was indeed a strong man at the peak of the level. He killed the faceless killer in front of Long Xiangtian with one move. However, Long Xiangtian was still a little uneasy. He felt that the faceless killer died too easily. With his intelligence, he should not show up in front of Lao Hei easily.
Thinking of this, Long Xiangtian rushed forward and grabbed the head that had fallen to the ground. He took a closer look and said in surprise, "This is not a human... It's a puppet!"
Hearing this, Kang Nan also hurried over. As expected, what he saw was not a bloody human head, but a puppet head with a dull look in its eyes.
Lao Hei scratched his head and said, "Damn it, I was wondering why there was no blood after I chopped it down with my palm. It turns out it's a dead thing."
Kang Nan took the puppet from Long Xiangtian, looked at it over and over again, then squatted down and undressed the corpse. As everyone expected, there was no normal human body inside the clothes, but a puppet made of pieces of wood.
"What is this? Is it possessed by a ghost?" Long Xiangtian watched all this in silence. Could it be that he had been fighting with a puppet all night, and the puppet had beaten him so hard that he couldn't fight back? Long Xiangtian couldn't help but feel a little depressed.
"If I'm not mistaken, this should be called a puppet, which is developed from the substitute technique in ninjutsu. Usually they use it as a martial arts sparring partner. How come it appears here?"
Long Xiangtian frowned and thought about this question. Suddenly, he thought of a possibility: "Oh, when I was fighting him just now, I found that I couldn't use teleportation to get rid of him. Do you think he also has the power of space?"
Kang Nan looked at Long Xiangtian suddenly: "You mean the King of Heaven!"
Long Xiangtian nodded. Apart from the Heavenly King and the old man who had only met him once, Long Xiangtian didn't seem to have met anyone who was as proficient in spatial power in Kyoto. Even the old man was only at the entry level. From this point of view, this puppet seemed to have a greater relationship with the Heavenly King. If this was true, Long Xiangtian and his men would have to be on guard. Even the Heavenly King had already known Long Xiangtian's true identity.
Because Long Xiangtian was sure that the Faceless Killer he fought with, no matter his martial arts techniques or that eerie aura, was exactly the same as the Faceless Killer he had seen before!
After dealing with the puppet, Long Xiangtian asked Kang Nan where they were going.
Kangnan said that they were just about to go to Akina Mountain to take a look. Long Xiangtian nodded and told Kangnan everything he knew. Except for concealing things about the mission, he told Kangnan everything else, including the dragon head key.
"You mean this key is inseparable from the Amaterasu secret treasure?"
Long Xiangtian nodded and recounted the vision he had seen at that time.
Kang Nan pondered and said, "According to what you said, this Amaterasu secret treasure, could it be that it belongs to our China? In other words, Amaterasu is originally our Chinese emperor-level powerhouse? This is too unbelievable. You know, from the murals we have seen, Amaterasu was already a god of the Japanese island when Xu Fu landed. It doesn't make sense, it doesn't make sense..."
"There is another possibility. This secret treasure of Amaterasu was taken away from China by Amaterasu or... brought by Xu Fu!" A sudden inspiration cheered up Long Xiangtian.
"We can't rule out this possibility. Let's not talk about it. After all, whether he is a Chinese god or not has little impact on our current mission. Also, Shadow Stream and the missionaries have come up with an agreement. Do you know about it?"
Long Xiangtian was stunned. He had been struggling with the key all day and had no time to go back to the hotel, so he shook his head.
Kang Nan nodded, and immediately told Long Xiangtian the agreement reached between Shadow Stream and the missionaries.
It turned out that in order to prevent unrest in Kyoto, all forces received a secret message from the Kyoto government at the first time, asking them to restrain their subordinates. As for the fight for the treasure, they naturally followed the ancient tradition that the virtuous should take it, but in order to avoid a large-scale riot, the shadow stream and the missionaries attended a small meeting together to discuss the agreement on the treasure.
The content of the agreement basically means that each faction can only send two members to Akina Mountain, and as permanent members of the round table meeting, they have three seats. However, only one person from each organization and individual of foreign forces and independent cultivators can enter, and anyone who violates the rules will be attacked by the group.
After hearing this, Long Xiangtian smiled and said, "This will only make the Kyoto government officials feel more relaxed. Once we get in, no one will care which side you are from. We will still fight if we have to."
The fact is indeed so. The Kyoto government must know about this. All they want is a written agreement between the Shadow Stream and the missionaries. With this agreement in hand, the Kyoto government will have the capital to deal with the higher-ups, so that they will not be blamed for everything. As for the treasures in Akina Mountain, what does it have to do with them? It is not their business. With this agreement from the Shadow Stream, it is like having a golden ticket to avoid death. As for the rest, let them do whatever they want.
It can be seen that in Kyoto, the political power and the divine power have begun to tilt. This is a very pathological performance in Long Xiangtian's view. Unlike China, even if the Jinggu Sect and the power organization are so powerful, they still choose to keep a low profile in front of the state machine.
After sighing about these, Long Xiangtian asked about Jiang Chao again. Kang Nan said that he had not found out any news about Jiang Chao. Since Long Xiangtian failed to seize the throne, Jiang Chao seemed to have evaporated from the world and there was no news of him.
This was not good news for Long Xiangtian and the others. Because when everyone's attention was on the Amaterasu Secret Treasure, it was the easiest time for Long Xiangtian and the others to take Jiang Chao away. However, since they could not grasp Jiang Chao's position, Long Xiangtian and the others could only worry.
Seeing that both sides had no more useful information to share, several people chose to separate. After all, they belonged to different organizations, and if they were seen by others, there would inevitably be mistakes.
After Long Xiangtian cleaned up the puppet's remains, he teleported back to the hotel. Yunniang and the others had already been waiting for Long Xiangtian at the base. When they saw Long Xiangtian coming back, they immediately started talking about what happened today. It was basically the same as what Kang Nan said, except that an envoy came to tell them that as ordinary members of the round table meeting, they would have three treasure hunting quotas.
Long Xiangtian said that he had learned the news and decided to go in alone.
This decision was strongly opposed by Stanley and others, especially Yali and Yunniang, who opposed it most fiercely. Yunniang was worried that Long Xiangtian would go in alone without anyone to take care of him, while Yali was curious and wanted to see with his own eyes what the legendary secret treasure looked like.
However, Long Xiangtian still insisted on his own opinion and said everything he thought.
After the reasoning was made, Stanley and the others fell silent. Just as Long Xiangtian said, there were probably not many mediocre people going to the treasure hunt this time. The pirate clan was already weak, and if two more were lost, it would be a loss. It would be better for Long Xiangtian to go in alone.
The four of them were also sensible people, and finally agreed to Long Xiangtian's request.
