Tengu drove the commercial vehicle toward Tokyo. It was past lunch, it was two o'clock in the afternoon, and there was not much traffic on the road. I glanced at Li Xianyu from the rearview mirror and saw that he had his eyes closed and was concentrating... Was he sleeping or thinking
A wealthy family like the Aoki family would cost tens of millions of yen to give away a car. The anti-vibration system is very nice, and you can hardly feel the car moving while sitting in the car. But Tengu still unconsciously slowed down the car to make the car more stable.
Bah, I am becoming more and more like a bitch.
From time to time, he stared at Li Xianyu's face through the rearview mirror. His eyebrows were sharp and his facial features were straight. When he closed his eyes and said nothing, he exuded an unruly and aloof temperament.
For a moment, Tengu's heart skipped a beat, thinking of his first love...
Tengu was frightened by his own thoughts. He shook his arms and disrupted the steering wheel. Although he immediately corrected the front of the car, it still caused a considerable amount of shaking.
Li Xianyu opened his eyes, "What's wrong?"
Tengu swallowed his saliva, not daring to look at him through the rearview mirror anymore, and whispered: "It's okay, it's okay..."
Li Xianyu glanced at his back and said to himself, little brother, please don't play tricks on me. I only spared your life because you are obedient, sensible and useful. Young people must know how to cherish life.
During the conversation with Daisuke Aoki just now, he suddenly figured out something. The Kusanagi Sword originally belonged to the Tenjin Shrine.
The key point is the Kusanagi Sword of Tenjin Shrine.
During the Meiji Restoration, the official organization of the current island country defeated the Tenjin Shrine. With the support of the government and the Americans, he became the boss of the blood clan and snatched the Kusanagi Sword from the Tenjin Shrine. It may not be that it was taken away, it may be that the Tenjin Shrine reached some kind of agreement with the official organization. In short, the official organization took over the Kusanagi Sword.
The Sakurai family is a force of the official organization. After the Soul Extermination Plan was launched, they borrowed the Kusanagi Sword from the official organization. That artifact did not kill Grandma, but it killed me, and Grandma ran away. The Soul-Destroying Alliance was completely wiped out, and the Grass Pheasant Sword became Baoze's trophy.
Then, the Sakurai family took refuge in Tenjin Shrine!
Half a year ago, the Tenjin Shrine became restless and wanted to compete with official organizations for territory. Half a year ago, news of the opening of the Pantheon Palace spread throughout the world.
Is it too much of a coincidence
All kinds of clues came together, and Li Xianyu came to the conclusion that the ancient demon was most likely the mastermind behind the Tianjin Shrine.
Make bold assumptions and verify carefully. The hypothesis has been made, and the next step is to verify.
Tenjin Shrine has been competing with the official organization for half a year, but it has not yet started a full-scale war. It is really ink. There is no trace of Baoze's vigorous and resolute behavior.
Li Xianyu couldn't help but think of a funny video. Two groups of people were yelling at each other across the barbed wire fence, saying "Come here" on one side and "Come on here" on the other. They walked while cursing, and when they reached the end of the barbed wire fence, the two parties went back in tacit understanding and continued to curse...
Tenjin Shrine and official organizations are probably in this state.
... ...
Shinjuku district, a high-end apartment.
The time was eight o'clock in the evening. Natsuki Sakamoto was standing by the window listening to the phone, nodding and bowing in a respectful tone. Yoshiko Sakurai was wearing a bath towel, wrapping her wet hair in the towel, sitting at the water bar and putting on makeup.
"Minister, I retrieved the information of Sakura Bank. Before Kudo-kun died, Tengu and a young man went to visit him. Half an hour after leaving, a customer called Kudo-kun. The bank receptionist couldn't get through to the phone. I went to the office to have a look. , his body was found." Natsuki Sakamoto was on the phone with his superior.
This morning, his superiors suddenly called him to inform him that Kudo Jun was dead and asked him to find out the truth. Version Xia Shu has been busy all night on this matter.
Minister Otsuka didn't speak. There was silence on the other side of the phone, except for the sound of the minister's breathing.
Natsuki Sakamoto continued: "After confirmation, that young man is Li Peiyun, the Chinese demon cultivator Li Peiyun."
"Is it him?" Minister Otsuka's tone changed, and he said in a deep voice: "Before Kudo-kun died, he said that the killer was a foreign aid hired by the official organization. Have you found any clues?"
Natsuki Sakamoto was surprised. She didn’t expect that the official organization would hire Li Peiyun as a thug. He was a very troublesome young man. He shined in China and was wanted by Baoze. He went to Europe and helped the Holy See in Europe. Kill the Pope, and the entire Holy See will thank him.
"Yes, I tracked Li Peiyun through the surveillance video. After killing Kudo-kun, he took the train with the Tengu to Hakone. Hakone is the territory of the Aoki family. The people I sent there have not yet received any news."
Minister Otsuka was silent for a moment: "I remember that the Aoki family had contact with Li Peiyun's family in China."
At the Dao Discussion Conference, rumors about the time of Dao Zun's death were aroused. The Aoki family played a role as an ally of the Li family at that time and provided quite important information. Of course Tenjin Shrine will not be unaware of this news.
Sakamoto Natsuki gritted his teeth: "The Aoki family must have used women to confuse Li Peiyun and control him to become the family's weapon."
What a shameless family that relies on women to make a fortune and recruit talents without any samurai spirit. After defeating the official organization in the future, the women of the Aoki family will be imprisoned forever and punished every night... .
Minister Otsuka was noncommittal, "Notify me immediately if there is any news."
"Hi!"
After hanging up the phone, Natsuki frowned and glanced at the famous socialite of the Sakurai family, and said displeasedly: "Li Peiyun has probably become a knife in the hands of the official organization, specializing in assassinating cadres in the organization. Be careful, nothing will happen. Get out."
He knew that Sakurai Yoshiko was going to attend a party in the evening, and there would be a lot of young people, and they would definitely have a fool around.
Sakurai Yoshiko's family was originally from an official organization. A few months ago, she suddenly announced that she would join the Tenjin Shrine. The Sakurai family, who are good at doing things, sent many beauties from the family to be courtesans to have friendly exchanges with the Tenjin Shrine officials.
Yoshiko Sakurai comes here every few days to communicate with Natsuki Sakamoto, which makes Natsuki Sakamoto addicted. I want to train her to be a lover.
"You mind me, I'm not a cadre." Sakurai Yoshiko smiled with a foxy expression: "Oh, you are jealous."
"I'm not jealous, but I can treat you to oden." A third voice sounded in the living room.
A bowl of hot oden was poured on Yoshiko Sakurai's head.
Yoshiko Sakurai screamed in pain, her face turned pale.
Sakamoto Natsuki did not turn around, he rolled sideways, opened the TV cabinet, and pulled out a Type 05 microflush. This kind of gun comes with a silencer, is flexible, has high accuracy, and produces little noise, making it very suitable for dealing with indoor emergencies.
As soon as Natsuki Sakamoto touched the Type 05 submachine gun, he suddenly found that his body was floating up, and a powerful force imprisoned him in the air.
Powerful, unparalleled power.
Sakamoto Natsuki and Kudo Shun are cadres of the same level, both S-level masters. He has never encountered such a situation. He can freeze people in mid-air with Qi alone and cannot move.
Facing such an enemy, he actually tried to draw his gun and shoot. It was simply too stupid.
The other person was a young man with a tall figure and a mask on his face. He was wearing Adidas sweatpants, a pair of white sneakers, and a hooded sports coat.
"Who is your Excellency?" Sakamoto Natsuki calmed down, thinking that he had never provoked an enemy with such a big gap in strength, and asked tentatively: "Sakamoto, what do you do for me?"
"Chirping birds..." Li Xianyu muttered, and flicked out a sword energy with a snap of his fingers. With a "pop", brains and blood splashed out on the back of his head, creating a sad and beautiful picture on the ground.
I won't give you a chance to show off.
Li Xianyu turned his head and looked at the pale Yoshiko Sakurai. She was a very smart woman who had seen the world and didn't scream like a little girl. Although she was shaking, she tried her best to remain silent.
"You don't look like a cadre of Tianjin Shrine." Li Xianyu moved a chair and picked up a roll of tissue paper from the bar in a gentlemanly manner: "Wipe it?"
She really wanted to wipe it, but she didn't dare. Sakurai Yoshiko glanced at the Japanese translation on the phone screen, and then looked at Li Xianyu timidly.
"I won't kill women unless there is a special reason. It depends on whether you are sensible or not." After Li Xianyu finished speaking, he handed her the phone.
There is a slight difference in the Japanese translation of the mobile phone, but it roughly means: I don’t kill women, but you have to satisfy me.
Yoshiko Sakurai gingerly pulled off her bathrobe.
I, Li Peiyun, am a strong-willed man. Don't try to attract me with your beauty.
Li Xianyu looked away.
"What's your relationship with him?" This woman is a blood descendant and not very strong. Li Xianyu guessed that she should be Natsuki Sakamoto's mistress.
After returning to Tokyo, he killed all the people in charge of several strongholds of the Tenjin Shrine that the Tengu knew. Some were very loyal like Kudo Shun, and some were honest.
Based on the information from the torture, I looked at the map and found that the closest person was a team leader named Natsuki Sakamoto. Li Xianyu stopped by to solve the problem.
"I am a woman from the Sakurai family and have nothing to do with Natsuki Sakamoto." Yoshiko Sakurai said.
Li Xianyu was about to speak when he heard Sakurai Yoshiko add to the phone screen: "Sakamoto Natsuki is a cadre of Tenjin Shrine. The family joined the organization not long ago. We need friends..."
A courtesan who provides special services. Li Xianyu understood: "Soudie Si Nei."
"Is it the Sakurai family of Yukino Sakurai?" he asked.
Yoshiko Sakurai nodded.
Coincidentally, Li Xianyu was worried about how to find the Sakurai family.
"Why did the Sakurai family rebel and join Tenjin Shrine?"
"I don't know." She shook her head, but was afraid of offending Li Xianyu, and whispered: "Family women like us are not qualified to interfere in family affairs. I only know that the family had a falling out with the official organization because of the grass pheasant sword. "
"Then do you know where the top cadres of Tenjin Shrine are?" Li Xianyu pointed to Sakamoto Natsuki's body: "Those who are taller than him."
"I don't know. The identities of the organization's cadres are all mysterious. I, with my mediocre appearance, am not qualified to serve higher-ups."
"How did the Sakurai family get involved with the Tenjin Shrine? Or, are you the second or fifth son of the Tenjin Shrine placed in the official organization?"
"have no idea."
"What plans does the Sakurai family have recently?"
"No, not sure..."
What else do you know... The corners of Li Xianyu's mouth twitched.
This woman's Qi fluctuations are very weak, and her body is not strong, but she has a great face and figure. A woman like this can either be a husband and raise children in a big family, but she will not have a very generous material life. Either use your beauty to do things for the family, there is no danger, and you can go to various social occasions of upper-class celebrities and live a decent life.
This kind of woman is called a social butterfly. In today's increasingly open society, many girls from the peripheral blood families will take this path. This phenomenon is not unique to the island country. After the Dao Discussion Conference, the head of a blood family contacted him privately, arranged for him to have a high-quality beauty, and asked him if he was interested in getting to know her.
But Li Xianyu checked the information of those girls through Baoze and found that they were girls who were wandering on the periphery of the blood family and were not direct descendants of the family.
"Tell me what you know about your family." Li Xianyu knew that she was not lying, no matter it was her expression or mental fluctuations.
Sakurai Yoshiko wisely told everything she knew, including the history of the Sakurai family. It rose to prominence in the late shogunate period, relying on the Meiji Restoration, the social power structure was turbulent, and major forces were reshuffled. He seized the opportunity and became famous in the blood community of the island country. Subsequently, he rose to prominence during the Sino-Japanese War of 1898-1895, when the fate of the country was at stake, and became a top-notch force in the island country's blood community.
Until the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Sakurai family, who had tasted the benefits, went with the army, but all the family's masters were lost in the hands of the unparalleled warrior spirit.
"The rise in the late shogunate coincided with the era when the Tenjin Shrine was replaced. It is also possible that the Sakurai family is a secret force secretly supported by the Tenjin Shrine. Moreover, according to Sakurai Yoshiko, the head of the Sakurai family seems to be a weakling. Chicken, this is very weird. Although it is also a top S-class, it is the most common top S-class. According to the power of the Sakurai family, this level of cultivation is obviously not enough." Li Xianyu pondered. .
"How is Yukina Sakurai doing lately?"
Sakurai Yoshiko was stunned and looked at Li Xianyu in surprise. Could this man be acquainted with Xuenako
"We rarely meet, but I heard that after she came back from China, she worked hard to improve herself. Her cultivation level improved rapidly, and she is now one of the important combat forces in the family."
Does she want to avenge her father
Li Xianyu's mood was a little complicated. He had a good impression of the girl who talked a lot and thought she was quite interesting. Later, when he took action in the Soul Extinguishing Alliance of the Palace of the Gods, he knew that everyone was friends.
Sakurai Tokimasa died on the spot and did not escape from the Panshin Palace, so Li Xianyu's hatred was not too great. As for Sakurai Yukinoko, she was neither a participant nor the mastermind. Although everyone was friends with each other, Li Xianyu couldn't say he had any hatred for her.
However, since they are in different camps, he will not show mercy if they meet him in the future.
At this time, he saw Sakurai Yoshiko's pupils shrink, her face looked horrified, but she immediately turned away and lowered her eyebrows.
He, he... is Li Peiyun!
Sakurai Yoshiko finally recognized this young man. He spoke Chinese and could not understand Japanese. He should be a Chinese who had never been to the island country. He was so powerful that Natsuki Sakamoto died at his hands without any resistance.
A young man from China, a powerful man, a cadre of the Hunter Tenjin Shrine... Combined with Sakamoto Natsuki's phone call just now, there is no doubt that the young man in front of him is Li Peiyun, the successor of the Demon Dao.
Sakurai Yoshiko lowered her head and tried her best to keep her breathing calm, not daring to let the other party know that she had guessed his identity. Because you will be silenced.
Yoshiko Sakurai's vision went dark and she lost consciousness.
When she woke up, the surroundings were quiet, and the air was filled with the smell of blood. Sakamoto Natsuki's body was completely cold, and the blood flowing underneath her body had dried up into a thick dark brown liquid.
She nervously looked around at herself. She was intact, and she breathed a sigh of relief. She had not been violated.
Sakurai Yoshiko staggered into the room, took out her mobile phone from her bag, and contacted her family.
"Natsuki Sakamoto is dead, the murderer Li Peiyun..." After simply explaining the matter, she endured the pain, got dressed, carried her bag, and staggered away.
The survival instinct of life is to stay as far away from dangerous places as possible.
She didn't even have the mood or courage to take a hot bath.
If she had time to check the scene, she would find that Natsuki Sakamoto's cell phone was missing.
