Morning was about to arrive, but it was dark, like a velvet blanket covering the Cedar Forest at the foot of Mount Hiei. Guo Jiang flashed like a ghost, quickly passing through the trees. Behind him was another shadow, Ouyang Guang.Their destination was the place where Ayumi, the Takeda Clan girl, was held captive in an illusionary prison.Guo Jiang deliberately painted an illusion, making the girl seem to be dreaming. She was trapped in a vast labyrinth with no end, no way out. Going around in circles, until she was tired and gave up sitting down.Surprised!Guo Jiang gasped. At the edge of the forest, the place he had marked and cast a spell on, Ayumi disappeared. Her traces faded, her aura vanished like vapor. Ouyang Guang was also shocked.Not even a clue was left. All the spells that were placed to protect the girl were broken. The symbols and talisman papers were torn to shreds.“What happened?” Guo Jiang asked in confusion.Someone who can break all the spells of the Spiritual

Kenjiro Takeda sat in a room filled with the scent of flowers. It came from burning incense specially imported from a neighboring country. The scent was lavender.Kenjiro was a young man with a stern face and a strong jawline. His broad shoulders adorned his tall body with slicked-back hair. He wore a special oil to style his hair. Hair oil made from whale fat was expensive.Kenjiro's long clothes were folded into thick layers, disguised by a belt, showing a slim waist, diligently practicing martial arts and traditional sports.Kenjiro sat cross-legged, looking polite. No one would have thought that the educated man would turn violent when drunk. Kenjiro was indeed known to be savage among the entertainers and pimps as a customer who had a rough temper when intoxicated by alcohol.Many were reluctant to serve him, having experienced Kenjiro's roughness. Bruises and minor injuries were common for geisha girls who had served him.There was a knock on the door, a soft female voice was he

Night in Okutama City, on the rooftops of houses on a quiet street, on a night accompanied by the stars and the moon."Who are you?" the ninja asked coldly. He played with the dagger as if he was performing a dance. The dagger spun slowly in front of his face."You don't know what the Takeda Clan is like, foreigner." His voice was menacing. His eyes were piercing.Guo Jiang laughed coldly. From the aura that was emitted, Guo Jiang guessed this ninja was in the pure white realm of the atmosphere. Just like him. He said coldly,"I repeat once again. Let go of that woman, or you will regret it." He drew the sword, and the air turned cold. The cold energy of the Sword as Pure as the Snow Lotus radiated out.The ninja looked wary. This was a strange, yet deadly, cold energy.The ninja moved. His body disappeared!Suddenly, he was in front of Guo Jiang. The distance was very close. Not less than a fathom. Shocking! This kind of teleportation movement was truly amazing.The ninja's dagger qu

Huang Jiayi.Okutama City has been on high alert since this afternoon. News that a Young Master of the Takeda Clan - the clan that protects the Utsukushii Empire, was killed this afternoon at the Kiku no Hashi entertainment house. This has caused an uproar throughout the Utsukushii Empire.The Takeda Clan Patriarch himself had sent a letter directly to Emperor Utsukushii. The Takeda Clan demanded accountability from the imperial party, which was considered weak and too slow to respond to the situation.If the Emperor does not take quick action to find the geisha, the murderer of Kenjiro Takeda, then the Takeda Clan's support for the imperial side will be stopped. The Takeda Clan even threatens to support the Mirai-Shi Empire, one of the Utsukushii Empire's rivals on the Continent.This is something that is dangerous for the empire. The Takeda Clan is one of the Four most influential Clans in the Akatsuki Continent. Losing the support of the Takeda Clan will make the Utsukushii Empire

When Ouyang Guang accidentally stepped on Captain Yamazaki's foot, causing the man to scream, at that very moment the concentration of magic energy that Guo Jiang had gathered was shattered. The energy network that he had gathered suddenly loosened. The illusion created in the form of a disguise painting faded. Their forms were exposed, visible to everyone."I have to act quickly!" Guo Jiang did not panic.The Shadow of Silence Sword was instantly released from its sheath. A sword thrust filled with Qi energy shot quickly, piercing General Seto Kazuhiko's neck. The sound of the sword howled through the night, only in the form of a line of light threatening the General.General Seto raised his long sword, making a defensive motion, forming a cross on his chest, formed from his long sword and scabbard. "Don't dream, brat!"The general's face turned pale. He had misjudged the young man. Although he was a middle expert in the atmospheric realm, the clash of his sword against the young man
