Chapter 124: The Ninjas of Bihe Mountain
Chapter 124: The Ninjas of Bihe Mountain
"Is the war finally over?"
The sound of gunfire continued for a full day and night before it finally stopped.
Li Xiang began packing her luggage; the person who was supposed to pick her up was already downstairs.
After all, according to Zhao Yifan's instructions, she would leave Shanghai and go to Nanjing, where a newly established film company was located, and there she would begin her acting career.
Moreover, from now on, she will abandon the name "Li Xiang" that has been with her for many years and revert to the name Yamaguchi Keiko.
"Perhaps, from now on, I will be the most hated woman in the entire Sakurajima Country?"
Looking at her beautiful face in the mirror, Keiko Yamaguchi suddenly smiled.
After all, the film she was going to make was meant to expose the various crimes committed by Sakurajima during this war!
She is now feeling lost about her future.
She didn't know if the man could keep his promise and stop her from worrying about her future.
However, considering the man's strength, Yamaguchi Keiko was willing to believe him. After all, her heart and soul had been conquered by him, and admiring strength was an instinct of women in Sakurajima.
……
The battle ended, and this war, in which both sides invested more than a million, ultimately ended in victory for Sakurajima.
However, the large influx of extraordinary individuals from the Great Xia Dynasty brought immense trouble to Sakurajima during this war.
In particular, the complete annihilation of the Sakurajima fleet put the Sakurajima Kingdom's plan to quickly occupy the entire Great Xia Dynasty on hold.
It was from this war that the Sakurajima Kingdom came to realize the immense power that superhumans could wield in war.
After all, no one expected that the full-scale entry of the supernatural beings into the war would actually be able to influence the course of the war to a certain extent.
This time, Sakurajima's lack of preparation caused them to lose the initiative.
Therefore, while taking over Shanghai, the Sakurajima Kingdom did not rush to expand its war gains, but instead began to recruit superhumans from its own territory.
After all, by now, these fools have finally realized that the only way to deal with the Outcasts is to rely on them!
……
"Finally, the time has come for us, the ninja of Mount Hiei, to leave these mountains!"
Ono Noriyoshi looked down at the Hieiyama ninja below, his hand holding the cane trembling slightly.
Because of their past betrayal, this group of people can only cower in these mountains like rats.
However, this time, with the promise from higher-ups, they could exchange military merits for more resources to survive than the ninja from the Heishan Mountains.
Therefore, Ono Noriyoshi, the head of the Hieiyama ninja, agreed without hesitation.
Like Ono Noriyoshi, many people wanted to leave these mountains, and the Hieiyama ninja were very excited when they heard Ono Noriyoshi's decision.
After all, even ninjas like them didn't want to live like rats forever.
"Butterfly, I have a task for you now!"
Ono Noriyoshi looked down at one of the twin female ninjas.
"Among the ninja of Mount Hiei, you are the most skilled in assassination. I want you to kill this man as our first battle in entering the Great Xia!"
As he spoke, Ono Noriyoshi waved his right hand, and a portrait appeared before everyone.
"What a handsome man, leader! Is this what my sister's goal is?"
Among the twin female ninjas, the other one's eyes lit up.
After all, compared to the mostly foreign and ugly ninjas of Mount Hiei, the men of Great Xia in the portrait were simply too handsome.
"Chief, why go through all this trouble? Why don't I just use Hirumaru to cut off this guy's head?"
Just then, a sinister voice came from behind, and the speaker was a young man with a sickly smile.
As soon as this person opened his mouth, many people in the room cast wary glances at him.
Eita the Demon is a very special person, even among the entire Hieiyama ninja clan.
The demonic sword Hirumaru in his hand possesses terrifying power and has severed the heads of countless masters.
"Eita, as our first battle as the Hieiyama ninja, we must fight it beautifully, so there can be no mistakes!"
Ono Noriyoshi said in a deep voice, "Don't let his youth fool you, this man is actually the leader of the Quanxing, an organization of supernatural beings in Great Xia. His strength is not to be underestimated. However, I've heard that he has a lewd habit, so sending Butterfly to assassinate him is the safest way."
Upon hearing this, the twin female ninjas were slightly taken aback.
Although they had thought about this day coming, they still felt somewhat sad when it actually arrived.
However, no matter what they thought in their hearts, they could not refuse the leader's decision.
After all, as members of the Hieiyama ninja clan, they knew very well that refusing a mission would mean a fate worse than death!
"sister?"
Butterfly looked at her older sister with concern.
"Butterfly, I'm alright!"
Butterfly held her sister's hand reassuringly and smiled as she looked at the man in the portrait.
"At least he's good-looking, so as it's my first time, I'm not at too much of a disadvantage!"
……
Zhao Yifan had no idea that Biheshan was planning to use despicable methods to deal with him.
As soon as the battle of the Demon City ended, he used the power of his subordinates to spread the news that two immortal seeds had appeared in Jinling.
This led all the extraordinary individuals to travel to Jinling one after another.
After all, news of Zhang Huaiyi obtaining the Immortal Seed and comprehending the Qi Body Source Flow had already spread.
Gaining the approval of the Heavenly Daoist also allowed everyone to witness the power of the Immortal Seed once again.
After all, according to rumors, Zhang Huaiyi, who had just obtained the Immortal Seed, already possessed the power to contend with Zhang Zhiwei, the Heavenly Daoist.
No one could resist such temptation.
Moreover, another rumor has surfaced: that the Immortal Seed contains the true secret to becoming an immortal. As a result, everyone has gone even crazier.
……
"Things aren't going to be peaceful in Nanjing lately!"
After all, the defeat in the Battle of Shanghai resulted in huge losses for him, which was why he had to order a withdrawal later on.
"How's that young marshal doing lately?"
To be honest, he wasn't worried about the defeat in the war. What really worried him was the sudden rise of that young marshal.
"The Young Marshal's army has withdrawn to the Northeast, after all, they have never given up their encirclement and suppression efforts there!"
The general below replied.
"it is good!"
"Ideally, the Young Marshal's army would be completely bogged down by the Sakurajima Kingdom and mired in a quagmire of war."
"However, Sakurajima has already declared war on all fronts, and as for Jinling, I'm afraid..."
The general said with concern.
