Chapter 572: Chapter 406 Yang Transformation Ambush, Daoist Appears (Do Not Miss)

With Ye Chenbai’s help, everything progressed smoothly, and the guards in Martial Emperor City were not disturbed at all, as if nothing had ever happened.

Meanwhile, in a tavern somewhere in Martial Emperor City.

A long-bearded man dressed in a Japanese Martial Arts robe stood on the rooftop with his hands behind his back, his gaze somewhat puzzled. Judging by the time, Yagyu Takeo’s visit to Chen Yuan had already been lengthy.

Sincethe early morning departure, the sky had already started to darken.

Was he enjoying his talks with Chen Yuan so much that the host asked him to stay?

It seemed… that was not impossible.

He was Yagyu Tenno, the father of Yagyu Shinichi and Yagyu Takeo, the Clan Leader of the current Yagyu Family, whose cultivation had remarkably reached the Yang Transformation Level, and he was even not far from becoming a True Monarch.

His visit to Central Plains was part of a grand strategy for Japan, a joint effort by three major families to set up formations in the Central Plains, aiming to gradually integrate Japanese Martial Artists into Central Plains,

and then … to control it!

Although their homeland by the East Sea was seemingly rich in resources, it paled in comparison to Central Plains, particularly in terms of Heaven and Earth Primordial Energy, which was weak and hardly conducive to producing Martial Artists of unparalleled talents.

Since the establishment of the Ascending Immortal List, Japanese Martial Artists had never even reached the top three, which says a lot about how remote Japan was; and of course, the main reason,

was actually due to a huge secret.

Even someone of his status did not know the details of this secret, only aware that Japan might face a disaster in the future, making it unsuitable for habitation. Hence, Japanese Martial Artists had already started to integrate into Central Plains.

Unfortunately, although they were making some progress, the noble families, sects, and even the court of the Central Plains disliked or even detested Japan, with only the Buddhist sect showing compassion and willingness to accept them.

As he pondered this, suddenly, Yagyu Tano’s gaze sharpened, and he swiftly turned to look behind as Fang Hongtai in a white robe appeared instantaneously from afar.

“City Lord Fang,”

Yagyu Tenno greeted with a bow and clasped fists, mimicking the Central Plains’ etiquette.

“Why did the Yagyu Family Head come to Martial Emperor City without any notice?” Fang Hongtai asked with a smile, his eyes creasing, as strong individuals above Yang Transformation Level who came to Martial Emperor City needed to notify the Ascending Immortal Tower.

This was also a rule in Martial Emperor City, because Yang Transformation strong warriors were considered high-tier in Jianghu, capable of causing significant destruction, and if not controlled, could likely lead to unrest.

A flicker of discomfort passed through Yagyu Tenno’s eyes as he softly said,

“I am only staying briefly and will leave today.”

“If that is so, it is naturally for the best,”

Fang Hongtai said with a faint smile.

“City Lord Fang, about that matter we discussed before, is Ye Xiangnan really not considering it anymore?”

More than a month ago, he had visited Martial Emperor City seeking to strike a deal with Fang Hongtai, as entry to Central Plains by Japanese Martial Artists almost necessarily passed through Martial Emperor City.

The location here was too strategic, occupying the best part of the entire East Sea. Honestly, the major families of Japan had not been without covetous thoughts towards Martial Emperor City,

but after considering Ye Xiangnan, the second most powerful person in the world, and the foundation of Martial Emperor City, they eventually quenched that thought.

However, Ye Xiangnan had outright refused them initially, even denying them a second opportunity to appeal, which redirected their focus towards Yun State and Qingzhou.

Fang Hongtai, looking calmly into the distance, said lightly,

“There’s no need to bring it up again. The East Sea is vast, but there’s not an inch to spare for Japanese Martial Artists, not to mention those nearby overseas islands — don’t even think about it.”

“The Three Great Families of Japan can bring great benefits to Martial Emperor City. Just allow us a little space,”

“Yagyu Daoist friend, Central Plains is vast, a hundred times that of Japan. Do you think Martial Emperor City would care for those trivial benefits? Moreover, the city lord has spoken,

you shouldn’t dream of applying pressure through the court. In the East Sea, it is Martial Emperor City that has the say. Without Ye Xiangnan’s approval, you won’t get a single inch of land,”

“Too bullying!” Yagyu Tenno furrowed his brow upon hearing this.

Even someone with a calm temperament would be agitated by such words.

Fang Hongtai’s smile hid a cutting edge as he continued lightly,

“No matter if it’s Japan or even the Emperor himself, neither is considered by the city lord. Your petty schemes can’t escape the city lord’s notice. If Japanese Martial Artists still wish to travel freely through the East Sea,

then do not commit acts that annoy the city lord. These are his words from before, and Fang merely advises you, Yagyu Daoist friend—consider this a warning!”

A glint of murderous intent flashed in Yagyu Tenno’s eyes, though his face remained impassive as he nodded,

“Rest assured, City Lord Fang. Since Ye Xiangnan forbids it, we naturally will not bring it up again. The reason we desired a place to stay is solely due to our admiration for the majesty of Central Plains.”

“Heh heh…,”

Fang Hongtai nodded with a smirk.

Indeed, these Japanese Martial Artists were just as the city lord had said before: fierce and oppressive before the weak, but submissive in front of the strong, no matter how insulted they were,

just like dogs!

Sensing Fang Hongtai’s gaze, Yagyu Tenno felt somewhat uncomfortable, took a deep breath, and bowed,

“Since Ye Xiangnan does not permit it, I shall take my leave.”

“Safe travels… no need to see you out!”

…

…

“Thanks a lot, brother Ye,” Chen Yuan said with a smile, his hands clasped in a salute.

Regardless, his decision to act impulsively within Ascending Immortal Tower this time was somewhat impulsive, though he did not fear the trouble, but if it could be resolved, that would naturally be for the best.
