Chapter 267: Chapter 267: Top-Level Powerhouse

The divine battle atop Mount Fuji!

The one walking down alive is China’s Mr. Yang!

Almost as soon as Yang Tian stepped down from Mount Fuji, the news was quickly relayed back to China by Red Wolf and other Chinese Martial Artists.

Many people, upon hearing the news, were full of disbelief!

After all, China is the closest to Japan.

The mysterious aura unleashed when Uekizawa Shou was possessed by Orochi was most vividly felt on the Chinese side!

That was the aura of a God-level expert!

However, when some martial artists secretly captured and sent back photos of Uekizawa Shou’s corpse, they had no choice but to believe!

Soon after, the entire Chinese Cultivation World was set ablaze.

Shangguan Family in Grey Valley County.

The Family Head, Shangguan Jingyun, was sitting at the head of the main hall when Shangguan Hong suddenly rushed in, flustered.

Without even catching his breath, he looked at Shangguan Jingyun and asked, "Family Head... is it... is it true?"

"See for yourself!"

Shangguan Jingyun tossed a phone directly in front of Shangguan Hong.

Shangguan Hong grabbed the phone, and with just one glance at the figure standing tall amidst the snowy mountains, his eyes trembled, and his whole body stiffened.

It was unknown how much time had passed before Shangguan Hong regained his composure, slumped dejectedly into a chair nearby, his gaze utterly despondent...

Within the True Essence Sect on West Flow Mountain.

Su Ningqing, bringing dinner to the Sect Leader’s room, discovered that Gui Xuzi, the Sect Leader of True Essence Sect, was not cultivating inside as usual but rather gazing towards the east.

Most strikingly, Gui Xuzi’s face showed exhaustion. Even his usually neat hair bun was messily draped over his shoulders.

He looked just like he did back when someone stormed the sect, forcing him to yield!

"Master, you... what is...?" Su Ningqing asked, confused as she stepped forward.

Before she could finish speaking, Gui Xuzi raised his hand, signaling her to stay silent.

Then Gui Xuzi took a deep breath and said, "Enough! If I must bow, so be it!"

With that, Gui Xuzi slowly retreated into the room, leaving only a letter placed on the stone table in the courtyard.

Curious, Su Ningqing stepped forward to take a look, but as soon as she read it, her expression instantly grew complex.

"Him? A God-level expert?"

Muttering to herself, Su Ningqing, like her master before her, gazed eastward...

Such sighs and resigned murmurs weren’t exclusive to the Shangguan Family or the True Essence Sect.

The Xuanling Sect, Wei Family, Miao Region...

Those who had interacted with Yang Tian before, whether as allies or adversaries, were all sharing similar moments.

Yet, without a doubt, their ultimate conclusions were the same!

East China region.

Long Lin had just knocked on Old Gu’s office door, only to hear Old Gu snort coldly, "Since when did you learn to play both sides?"

"I..."

Long Lin immediately stood straight, saluted, and said, "Long Lin admits his fault—for Old Gu to reprimand as needed!"

"Reprimand? Ha! Yang Tian has already won; what’s left for me to reprimand?"

Old Gu glared at him irritably, then asked, "Why are you here?"

"Ah... here’s the thing. I just received news from Yanjing: Shen Bangguo has exited seclusion!" Long Lin reported.

"Exited? That soon?" Old Gu asked in surprise.

But Long Lin quickly continued, "Old Gu, I wasn’t finished! After exiting seclusion, Shen Bangguo merely read one letter, then went back into seclusion and resigned from the position of Chinese War God!"

"What!"

Hearing the news, Old Gu immediately stood up, visibly perturbed.

After a moment, however, he sat back down, shook his head, and said, "Was that news in the letter?"

"Yes... yes!" Long Lin nodded firmly.

After hearing this, Old Gu once again rose slowly and stood with crossed hands, gazing out the window. "No wonder! Upon hearing that news, even Shen Bangguo couldn’t stay calm. That boy was born to strike people down!"

Strike people down?

Long Lin thought of Old Gu’s words and recollected his own feelings during that near-deadly ambush not long ago. He nodded in agreement. "Indeed! It’s devastating!"

...

While China—indeed, the entire Southeast Asia—was busy discussing Yang Tian,

Yang Tian was sitting in the living room of Akita Junko’s villa, slightly furrowing his brows as he listened to the Enchanting Demon’s report.

"Are you saying the Divine Spirit Sect refuses to hand over the agreed assets?" Yang Tian asked, looking at the Enchanting Demon.

"Yes, Master!"

Today, clad in a business-style blazer and short skirt, the Enchanting Demon resembled a modern professional woman. Adjusting her glasses, she replied, "After learning that you defeated Orochi, I immediately went to takeover the Divine Spirit Sect’s assets. However, they outright rejected me, claiming the promise was made by Makura Daisuke and that they had no knowledge of it!"

Rejected?

Hearing this, a cold smile appeared on Yang Tian’s face.

Though the Divine Spirit Sect’s assets were vast, they weren’t significant enough to concern Yang Tian.

The reason Yang Tian had proposed using these assets as stakes before the duel was twofold—to reduce Makura Daisuke’s suspicions and to use the resources as a stepping stone to control Japan’s cultivation world or even all of Japan!

Exactly, control Japan!

Think about it—an entire nation, even one as small as Japan, under Yang Tian’s control would translate to an endless supply of cultivation resources!

A sect like the Divine Spirit Sect had harbored entities like Orochi!

What about the Samurai Way?

What about the Ninja Sect?

If their hidden cards were consumed, coupled with Japan’s entire suite of cultivation resources, wouldn’t the Nascent Soul Stage be just within reach?

What piqued Yang Tian’s curiosity, however, was why the Divine Spirit Sect, a force completely subdued atop Mount Fuji, now had the audacity to breach their agreement.

Thus, Yang Tian asked directly.

The Enchanting Demon explained, "Well, the Divine Spirit Sect is not merely one of Japan’s three major cultivation powers; it is also tied to Japan’s government as their sacred religious site, and importantly, it has been the consecration site for successive monarchs!"

That meant standing against the Divine Spirit Sect equated to defying all of Japan.

"Yes... that’s true!" The Enchanting Demon nodded quickly. Afterward, she watched Yang Tian rise and walk towards the door.

"Master, where are you going?"

"Where?"

Yang Tian smirked faintly. "To blow some things up!"

Japan,

A pivotal location in its cultivation world and a national spiritual symbol.

At this moment, the three major Japanese cultivation factions—Divine Spirit Sect, Samurai Way, and Ninja Sect—had gathered in one place, all looking towards Miyamoto Sword Saint and Yuanfei Sect Master, who were seated at the head.

These two remaining titans of Japanese cultivation were hosting an emergency meeting!

Dressed in a solemn black kimono, Miyamoto Sword Saint bore his family crest embroidered on his left chest. Clutched tightly in his hand was the famed Samurai Way’s Gui Wan, as if it could be unsheathed at any moment.

As for Yuanfei Sect Master, he had shed his usual ninja attire, donning a kimono instead. Although he appeared to be a frail old man, his eyes radiated a piercing coldness, silencing everyone in the shrine.

"Disgrace! Never in the centuries-long history of Japanese cultivation and even the nation itself has there been such an unparalleled humiliation!"
