Chapter 727: Chapter 646: Overturning the Japan Cultivation World! Seven

As the sun set in the west and its last light spilled over, the bustling Tokyo welcomed the rush hour, with streets bustling with vehicles and crowds of people hurrying by.

All advertisements at major squares, malls, and subway entrances were canceled and replaced uniformly with wanted posters for Ye Fan, featuring his real photo and one wearing a human skin mask.

The photo of Ye Fan wearing the human skin mask was captured by Japanese police from airport security footage—Ye Fan had entered the airport twice covertly to protect Su Jindi.

"Three major departments working together, and they still haven’t caught that Huaxia bastard, not even a trace of him. This is really embarrassing!"

"That Huaxia bastard isn’t just any criminal; he’s a powerful cultivator, hard to capture..."

"Do we not have powerful cultivators in Japan? That’s no excuse! If we mobilize all of Japan’s police, military, and cultivators and still can’t catch him, it would be a national disgrace!"

...

That afternoon, similar discussions were heard in almost every public place; Ye Fan had become a thorn in the side of the Japanese, a deep-seated irritant, fueling their deep-seated hatred!

They wished they could pulverize Ye Fan into dust right away to vent their frustration!

However—

Just as all eyes in Japan were fixed on Ye Fan, he was not panic-stricken and running around disorderly, but was hiding on the rooftop of a skyscraper in the center of Tokyo.

"Young man, according to the plan, you came to Japan to search for a Spirit Vein, and now you let minor things affect the plan. That’s really not worth it." In Ye Fan’s consciousness space, Elder Xuan stood with his hands behind his back, communicating with Ye Fan through thoughts.

Before, when Ye Fan was being hunted by Mafeng Zuo Tian and Daiyuan Jia, Elder Xuan had used a soul interference opportunity to help Ye Fan escape.

Now, with Japan deploying all its police, military, and cultivators to arrest Ye Fan, even Elder Xuan found the situation somewhat troubling.

With Ye Fan’s strength, it was easy for him to evade the police, military, and cultivators below the Gang Qi Realm, even to kill them effortlessly, but if he revealed his whereabouts, he would be besieged by the supreme strongmen of the Japanese cultivation world.

"Elder Xuan, to me, what I’ve done is not trivial. Moreover, some things aren’t about worth, but must be done!"

Ye Fan replied, "Moreover, although the situation is bad, it’s not necessarily a dead end. On the contrary, with all the chaos I’ve caused, Japan is all stirred up. It gives me a perfect chance to check if the Spirit Vein exists."

"What? You dare to check the Spirit Vein now?"

Elder Xuan was shocked. He thought that Ye Fan should be more concerned about saving his own life rather than daring to search for the Spirit Vein under such tense circumstances.

"In Huaxia, there’s a saying, ’darkness under the light,’ meaning that people often overlook what’s happening right under their noses—Now, even you think I wouldn’t dare to go to Fuji Mountain to look for the Spirit Vein, what about those strongmen in the Japanese cultivation world?"

A confident sparkle flickered in Ye Fan’s eyes as he said, "In other words, oftentimes, the most dangerous place is the safest. Right now, with all of Japan’s police, military, and cultivators mobilized, Fuji Mountain will likely be the most overlooked place. After all, it’s the stronghold of the Dai Yuan clan; no one would expect me to head there at this time!"

"You do have some point there."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xuan’s demeanor changed, his spirit uplifted as he declared, "Seek wealth in danger. If you can find the Spirit Vein, not to mention escaping, I’ll help you wipe out that bunch of ants!"

"Okay, since we’re stirring things up, I’ll blow it up big time, making little Japan tremble at the sound of Huaxia from now on!"

A wave of excitement surged through Ye Fan, after which he forced himself to calm down. He began to discretely plan his next actions to ensure flawless execution.

A few moments later, as the sun completely set below the horizon, darkness enveloped the land, and Ye Fan silently left the skyscraper’s rooftop, merging with the night.

...

The night at Fuji Mountain was tranquil, the Dai Yuan Family Mansion halfway up the mountain brightly lit, as cultivator elites led by Daiyuan Tianyou gathered there.

"From morning till now, it’s almost been twelve hours, and still no word of that China monky; he hasn’t escaped from Japan, has he?"

In the living room of Villa No. 1 in the mansion, Daiyuan Jia couldn’t help but speak up.

Originally, he was only on the fringe of entering the Mid-stage Ninja God Realm and could not yet perform Qi Control Flight, thus he was not considered a supreme strongman of the Japanese cultivation world and wasn’t generally eligible to be in the hall. But as a core member of the Dai Yuan clan and an elder holding significant roles within the Japan Cultivator Self-Defense Force, his status was distinguished, hence no one objected.

"Impossible."

As soon as Daiyuan Jia finished speaking, someone dismissed the speculation.

The speaker was an elder in a black robe, gaunt as if all flesh had left him, with wrinkled dry skin and deeply sunken eyes, emitting a chilling aura all over.

As the black-robed elder spoke, he kept his eyes closed, motionless, looking almost like a corpse at first glance.

With the sound of the black-robed elder’s voice, everyone, including Daiyuan Tianyou, instinctively looked towards him.

Swish!

Sensing the gaze of the people, the black-robed elder suddenly opened his eyes, his dark eyes shimmering like black vortexes, intimidating and hard to face directly.

"What? Don’t you believe what I say?"

The gaze of the black-robed elder swept across everyone present, finally resting on Daiyuan Tianyou, the strongest cultivator in the Japanese cultivation world.

Although his strength was only Mid-stage Ninja God, within the entire Japanese cultivation world, he was the only magician at the Ninja God Realm, holding a prestigious position. Apart from the now High-level Ninja God Daiyuan Tianyou and the covert head of the Japan Cultivator Self-Defense Force, Mafeng Zuo Tian, no one was significant in his eyes.

This time, if not for being personally invited by Mafeng Zuo Tian, he wouldn’t have shown his face.

After arriving at the Dai Yuan Family Mansion, he straightforwardly told everyone that his task was to sense Ye Fan’s Qi and pinpoint his whereabouts, not to capture him. His reward would be Ye Fan’s mysterious set of Mind Attack Secret Techniques.

"Master Gongben, it’s not that we don’t believe your words, but this matter is too critical to allow any mistakes, so there are some concerns."

This time, the speaker was Daiyuan Taihe, the current clan leader of the Dai Yuan Family. His words represented not only himself but also Daiyuan Jia, Daiyuan Tianyou, and the entire Dai Yuan clan.

"Mister Dai Yuan is right, Master Gongben. This matter relates to the reputation of the whole of Japan and must not be taken lightly," Mafeng Zuo Tian and two other mid-stage Ninja Gods added their agreement.

"Hmph!"

The black-robed elder named Miyamoto Shuzo snorted coldly, "Since I’ve already stated that I will locate that Chinese monkey’s presence and track his whereabouts, I will certainly do so — before coming here, I had already left my newly crafted secret magic artifacts at eight spots along the coastline, capable of sensing a strong person’s aura. As long as that Chinese monkey activates a Flying Artifact to leave, his aura will surely be exposed and detected by my secret magic artifacts.

Of course, if that Chinese monkey were to leave Japan through official channels, then it can only mean that the Japanese military and police are inept fools."

"Master Gongben need not worry about this. With the current technological means, if that Chinese monkey leaves through official channels, he will certainly be discovered," reassured another.

Upon hearing this, Daiyuan Taihe felt secretly pleased and quickly made assurances.

Daiyuan Tianyou and others also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and simultaneously felt fortunate that Miyamoto Shuzo had taken action; otherwise, retaining Ye Fan would not have been an easy task.

Ye Fan, however, knew nothing about all this.

At this moment, utilizing the Ghost Ring to conceal his aura, he had reached a forest located just three kilometers away from Fuji Mountain.

"Fortunately, through Body Refinement, I’ve greatly enhanced my physical strength. Relying purely on my body’s speed, I can match the speed of a cultivator in the Early Innate Realm. Otherwise, sneaking into Fuji Mountain unnoticed would really not be an easy task."

Hidden in the forest, Ye Fan released his Mind to clearly sense the presence of many cultivators at the base of Fuji Mountain.

This was consistent with the intelligence he had gathered before coming to Japan.

Aside from the Dai Yuan Family, Fuji Mountain also housed some of Japan’s Cultivation Families and Sects, though these families and sects were scattered around the mountain, unlike the Dai Yuan clan that had built their mansion halfway up the mountain.

Huh?

Quickly, Ye Fan sensed seven powerful auras halfway up the mountain, among them the familiar presences of Daiyuan Jia and Mafeng Zuo Tian.

Among the others, four were mid-stage Ninja Gods, and one was a high-level Ninja God!

This discovery shocked Ye Fan!

"Why are all of Japan’s cultivation world’s strong people gathered at the Dai Yuan Family Mansion?"

After the shock, Ye Fan was deeply puzzled. Originally, according to his speculation, the strong people of Japan’s cultivation world would be positioned along different points of the coastline to await their prey, joining forces to chase and ambush him upon discovering his trace.

No answers emerged.

Despite wracking his brains, Ye Fan could not figure out the reason, but his reason told him that there was definitely something amiss here.

Because, he did not believe that the strong people of Japan’s cultivation world would easily let him leave!

"Kid, you’ve come too late."

Just as Ye Fan was deep in thought, Elder Xuan suddenly spoke up in the Consciousness Space.

"Came too late?" Ye Fan was stunned, not understanding, "Elder Xuan, what do you mean?"

"Just as I sensed years ago, there truly is a Spirit Vein beneath Fuji Mountain."

Elder Xuan sighed and revealed the mystery, "This Spirit Vein isn’t large, and it has already been mined."

"Mined?!"

Hearing Elder Xuan’s words again, Ye Fan’s complexion changed, feeling very frustrated.

For Ye Fan at this stage, if he had enough Spirit Stones (Essence Stones), his Martial Arts Cultivation could easily break through to the Half-step Gang Qi Realm, and even without considering accumulating a strong foundation, he could urge both his Martial Arts and Magic Cultivation to reach the Gang Qi Introduction Realm!

Now, Elder Xuan’s words about the Spirit Vein under Fuji Mountain already being mined meant that his efforts were in vain.

"Kid, don’t be disappointed just yet."

Just as Ye Fan was deep in disappointment, Elder Xuan spoke again, "Although the Spirit Vein has been mined, I sensed that there are quite a few Spirit Stones stored in that mansion halfway up the mountain."

"Oh?!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Fan’s eyes immediately lit up.

"However, I need to remind you, there are several ’ants’ in that mansion whose strength far surpasses yours. If they discover you, your situation will be very dangerous!"

Noticing Ye Fan’s eagerness, Elder Xuan warned, his tone serious and solemn, "That is to say, if you want the Spirit Stones, it will be like snatching food from the tiger’s mouth — whether to act or not is your decision!"
