Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book entering this world? A tribulation?

Ling Yun was a little stunned. He pulled back his arm for a moment and stopped absorbing Chen Haizhen’s cultivation.

Chen Haizhen had completely returned to his original self. His meridians and energy center were completely empty. He wasn’t even at Houtian Realm Level Three.

Ling Yun released his strong divine sense and affirmed that nobody else could hear his voice before he plainly said, “The Emperor Brush and Earth Emperor’s Book entering this world? How did you find out about that? What do you mean by a terrifying tribulation?”

In fact, Ling Yun was impossibly shocked. The Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book had indeed entered this world. In fact, they were hidden within his body. The Emperor Brush was within Ling Yun’s sea of consciousness, whereas the Earth Emperor’s Book was sitting securely in Ling Yun’s energy center.

However, the problem was how the worldly sects and ancient sects knew that the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book had entered this world.

Not only did they know about this, but they were informed beforehand. For instance, Dugu Mo, the Sun Family, as well as Dong Fangting and the others knew all about this. How did they know that the Earth Emperor’s Book was about to enter the world, and how did they know its exact location?

This was far too mysterious. It definitely had to do with the latest technology!

As for the tribulation, Ling Yun had heard this from Master Xingchi as well. He had mentioned that he was the Fated One. All of this stemmed from Master Xingchi’s Bodhi Bead!

After losing all the power in his body, the already heavily injured Chen Haizhen couldn’t hold on any longer. He spat out a large mouthful of blood and collapsed feebly onto the ground. His body continued to spasm as he glared viciously at Ling Yun. “The Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book entering this world is something every family with power knows about. However, no matter their whereabouts, there’s no way they will land in your hands. You’d better give up!”

“You’re nothing more than an illegitimate child that shouldn’t have been born. Your mother is a devil woman, and you’re nothing more than a devil’s spawn. The Devil’s Blade, haha... the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book, how could they ever acknowledge a person who wields the Devil’s Blade as their master?”

Ling Yun laughed coldly. The Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book were currently stationed within his body. When he wielded the Devil’s Blade, it was as if it were custom-made for him. He had yet to meet any trouble using it.

He didn’t do anything to Chen Haizhen. That was because he could tell that Chen Haizhen couldn’t hold out for longer. He was about to die.

“What was the tribulation you were talking about again?” Ling Yun asked plainly, maintaining a calm tone.

Since Chen Haizhen was still alive, he had to extract a few more secrets from him.

“It’s an old folktale in China...” Chen Haizhen’s eyes were already beginning to lose focus, his vision blurring.

Ling Yun furrowed his brow as he asked darkly, “If my father isn’t being held captive by your Chen Family, where is he?”

Chen Haizhen’s voice got more muffled as he spoke in spurts. “It might be the Long Family or the Ye Family. Maybe it’s the Sun Family. But it’s most likely that the people from the Devil’s Sect were the ones who captured him. Anyway, our Chen Family has nothing to do with it. He’s nothing more than a useless chip to us. Why would we capture him?”

As the saying goes, the moment before a man passes is the moment where he reveals his kindness. At this moment, Chen Haizhen began to lose consciousness. Everything he said was definitely the truth. Ling Yun didn’t think too deeply into it as he asked quickly, “Then, where’s Cao Shanshan?”

“I don’t know... I’m not sure. My second son has always been more ruthless than his father. Other than Chen Jianwei, nobody in the Chen Family knows where Cao Shanshan is...

“Ling Yun, let me tell you. Don’t think that you’re undefeatable. Not to mention the Long Family or the Ye Family, my Chen Family has at least three people who are capable of killing you instantly. They’ll definitely take revenge for me. They will definitely...”

Chen Haizhen’s voice got weaker and softer. Halfway through his words, his eyes suddenly rolled back as his fingers spread out desperately. Then, he died.

Ling Yun stared at the dead Chen Haizhen. For a moment, he didn’t move at all. He was lost in his thoughts for a time. Then, he pulled out two Fire Talismans and slapped them onto Chen Haizhen’s body. He shouted, “activate”, turning his body into ashes.

Ling Xiao wasn’t captured by the Chen Family, Cao Shanshan’s whereabouts were something only Chen Jianwei knew, and the Chen Family had at least three experts who could defeat him...

These were the three pieces of information Ling Yun obtained from Chen Haizhen. It was all the information that Ling Yun believed. He had at least 90% confidence in that news.

That was because if Ling Xiao was also captured by the Chen Family, Ling Xiao and Ling Yue wouldn’t have been held in different locations. Otherwise, it would be difficult to monitor them, and there would be no way for them to hold any negotiations with the Chen Family.

With a simple deduction, one would understand that the Chen Family only wanted the Ling Family’s support. If they captured the two of them, they would have locked the two key figures in one location until their negotiation was successful. Then, the two parties would go through a series of negotiations. That would be the normal course of action.

Furthermore, the current Ling Xiao was nothing more than a cripple in the Chen Family’s eyes. He wasn’t any more important than the Ling Family’s brain, Ling Yue. Capturing him would be meaningless to them.

Considering Chen Jianwei’s character, Ling Yun felt that Chen Haizhen’s information about Cao Shanshan was reliable. Currently, Chen Jianwei had captured Cao Shanshan as a treasure. As long as he sucked her blood, Chen Jianwei would be able to soar through the realms. Perhaps he would be able to reach the level of Grand Duke at once. Since Cao Shanshan was so important, Chen Jianwei would have hidden her in an extremely obscure location, a place that even his biological father wouldn’t know.

“In the end, I still have to rely on my thousand-mile soul chasing powder...” Ling Yun muttered this as he stood up. His lips curled into a mysterious smile as he flew out of the room.

According to Chen Haizhen, at least three people were capable of defeating him. Hearing this, Ling Yun scoffed. The reason Chen Haizhen said this was because he knew that Ling Yun could kill ninjas at the early stages of Xiantian Realm Level Seven. That was based on the abilities that Ling Yun displayed.

However, Chen Haizhen didn’t know that Ling Yun wasn’t using his full power!

Furthermore, even if it was Ling Yun’s full power, he still had his terrifying secret ability, the Dragon Elephant Divine Force. When push came to shove, he could use his Dragon Elephant Divine Force to raise his fighting ability by ten times. Under this state, there was nearly no one who could defeat him!

Currently, Ling Yun’s strongest attack was obviously the Divine Yang cultivation technique. If it was multiplied by ten...

So, as for the Chen Family’s real power, whether Ling Yun knew or not wasn’t too important.

What gave Ling Yun a real headache was the problem of the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book. This was one of his biggest secrets. However, this secret seemed to be something the entire Chinese martial arts world knew about. This left Ling Yun feeling uneasy.

Currently, nobody knew that the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor’s Book were in Ling Yun’s body. If anyone ever found out, Ling Yun would have no other choice but to run. He didn’t think that he alone could match up to the entire Chinese martial arts world!

Without question, the most important matter at hand was to save Cao Shanshan. This couldn’t wait any longer!

“Oh, power! It looks like I need to reach Qi Cultivation as soon as possible!” Ling Yun muttered quietly to himself as he flew into the room that held Yamada.

Yamada was in the exact same state as Mitsui. Both of them had their legs chopped off by Ling Yun, and only half of their bodies were on the ground as they lay in a puddle of their own blood.

Ling Yun released a few gusts of wind as he unsealed the acupuncture points on Yamada’s body. Then, he stared at him coldly and said, “I have spared your life because I have a few things I want to ask you.”

“No matter whether you respond or not, you have only one end waiting for you, death. However, I can tell you right now that the way you die will be very different!”

“Shameless Chinese! Do you not know the spirit of a warrior...” Yamada struggled with all his might.

“You’ve lost, and I’ve won. It’s that simple. All of you Japanese have come to China to stir up trouble, on my land. And you even planned to exterminate my Ling Family. Is this the warrior spirit you speak of?” Ling Yun responded coldly.

After, he asked what he had to. “I want to know everything about the Tokugawa Clan and the Japanese ninjas. Tell me as much as you know. Any problems?”

Unexpectedly, Yamada agreed readily. Then, he began to explain everything carefully to Ling Yun.

Ling Yun could tell that Yamada carried an indescribable pride and confidence as he explained the Japanese ninjas to Ling Yun. He could even tell that Yamada’s eyes held a level of sacred worship.

This was where the Japanese and the Chinese differed. The Chinese were far too humble. They tended to put themselves down and keep their true abilities hidden. On the other hand, the Japanese were very different. They felt that they were very strong, so they carried a strong sense of pride. They didn’t hide their strength or power at all.

With Yamada’s explanation, Ling Yun understood that the strongest Japanese ninjas were known as Kage. The Tokugawa Clan had many Kages. In fact, the strongest and most secretive one was known as Divine Kage. Ninjas that were acknowledged as such were existences that were equivalent to gods. As for the extent of a Divine Kage’s strength, even Yamada couldn’t describe it.

Ninjas had two types — First and Second Stream.

The ninja arts included three secret arts. They were Body Arts, Curses, and Illusions. Ninjas could be split into five vocations as well, including gold, wood, water, fire, and earth...

Yamada and Mitsui were nothing more than Chuunin. Ninjas that didn’t reach the late stages of the Xiantian Realm, no matter how strong their ninja arts were, could only be considered Genin!

Strong ninjas were known as Jonin. Above that, there was also Special Jonin. After that, there was the Kage, and the strongest one was known as the Divine Kage...

“For Chinese martial arts experts, as an outstanding ninja, I have to say one thing. Our ninja world has four basic restrictions. We aren’t allowed to squander our ninja arts, we have to give up all pride, we must keep our mouths shut, and we definitely cannot disclose our identities!

“However, you’re not an ancient martial arts expert from China, you’re an ancient cultivator, the most secretive and unknown in China. I know that even if I don’t say anything, you will definitely find a way to make me talk. So, I can only tell the truth!

“The reason I’m doing this isn’t that I’m afraid of death or torture, it’s to protect the prestige of the Japanese ninjas!

“Ancient cultivator, I acknowledge that you are very strong. However, you haven’t met our Japanese Jonin yet, and our Kage. If you ever come to meet them, you will understand true ninja arts!”

With that, Yamada hunched his shoulders and clenched his jaw tightly. With his teeth, he broke a certain sac in his mouth. Within three seconds, Yamada’s half-body fell to the ground, dead!

Ling Yun could see clearly with his Yin-Yang Eye that the poison in Yamada’s mouth was something embedded within his neck. Its toxins were very strong.

“Damn, you really dropped dead just like that. You haven’t told me anything about the Tokugawa Clan’s power distribution!” Ling Yun exclaimed in disappointment.
