The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 403 Huang Quan Invitation (9)

King Kong raised his hand and asked, "That... Lord Ashiya, I understand what you mean. However, now that we know that the organization is building a nest and using this power to profit, what should we do next? We can't just do nothing and watch them grow stronger, right?"

Hoshiba Rang said, "I agree with what Kong said. If we do nothing, or even pretend not to see those guys' sphere of influence, they may eventually grow into a behemoth and extend their tentacles into all areas. If that really happens, all exorcists will be unemployed, because they are so powerful that none of us dare to intervene in their affairs and they can do whatever they want. By then, the whole of Tokyo will become their territory."

Ashiya Yoshisuke said: "Do you think they are not giants now? Lai Shancheng is just the tip of the iceberg on the sea surface. There are more dark existences under the sea surface... Of course I know that we can't leave it alone, otherwise they might really control the entire underground world of Tokyo like the Hundred Demons Night Parade in history, and use spiritual powers to harm ordinary people. But... not now, at least we have to wait until we find out their sphere of influence, personnel composition and other information before making plans.

"The ancient sage Sun Tzu of Qian Jun's country said, 'Know yourself and know the enemy, and you will fight a hundred battles without danger.' If we rashly start a war without even knowing the enemy's information, we will lose miserably. Anyway, leave the investigation to me. You are now the main focus of the enemy, so try not to act rashly. Qian Jun, what do you think?"

"Grandpa, what you said is very good. You said everything I wanted to say." Qian Xiaoyi said, "That's it. Everyone should be more cautious recently, but don't be too cautious. For example, if you run away to another place to seek refuge, you will give the enemy a chance to kill you without anyone noticing. On the contrary, staying here will make the enemy afraid to act rashly. Remember, the enemy will not do anything to expose themselves."

Ashiya Kichisuke nodded: "That's a good summary. Now that we have covered the important things, I'm sure our colleagues outside are getting impatient. Have you heard enough of an old man's rambling? Let's get started with today's activities."

King Kong's eyes lit up. "Is this a challenge? I've never been here before and couldn't find the way here. I've really come at a good time! Can I join in later?"

Ashiya Kichisuke smiled and said, "Of course, anyone can participate, especially those who are participating for the first time. If you perform well, I have prizes here."

"Oh! It's really exciting!" King Kong turned to the doll on his shoulder and said, "Don't you think so? Musashi!"

Qian Xiaoyi saw the doll clench its fists for a moment, then remain motionless, just like an ordinary rag doll. However, the centipede-like stitches on its face made the doll look very strange.

Everyone followed Ashiya Yoshisuke out of the private room. When the exorcists outside saw Ashiya Yoshisuke, they quickly gathered around him, some trying to please him and some wishing him a happy birthday.

Ashiya Yoshisuke did not greet them one by one, but took out a white talisman from his sleeve and threw it on the ground.

The talisman spontaneously combusted, and violent smoke came out. A strong shikigami wearing a hunting robe and a cloth curtain around his face was summoned from the smoke. The shikigami's figure was very strange, as if the form under the hunting robe was not human at all. Ashiya Yoshisuke stepped on its back, used the shikigami as a podium, and said condescendingly:

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long. I won't waste your time by talking too much. This year's Yellow Springs House Challenge is now starting. Challengers who are interested in participating, please enter the arena and show your strength."

The exorcists around shouted out of respect, creating a lively atmosphere on the scene.

Someone immediately couldn't wait and jumped in. After announcing where he came from and his name and confirming the start, Ashiya Yoshisuke waved his hand, and a magic circle appeared in the pit. A bound vengeful spirit rose from the magic circle, opening its black mouth and looking at the exorcist in front of him with resentment.

Then, the magic circle was lifted, and the vengeful spirit twisted into a shadow and rushed towards the opponent.

Up there, Qian Xiaoyi was standing with Xing Changrang, listening to his explanation.

"Starting from the very beginning, the difficulty of the challenge will gradually increase." Xingchangrang said, "As a senior Yin-Yang master, Mr. Ashiya has captured countless ghosts and monsters. No one knows how many Shikigami he has. No one can even challenge to the end... Do you want to give it a try?"

Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Forget about me. I'm not a newcomer, so I don't need to show myself off. But I do have a good candidate... Heitaro, go down and try it later." Inuyama Heita pointed at his nose and said, "Eh? Me?"

After Ashiya Yoshisuke came out, Inuyama Heita also saw Qian Xiaoyi and naturally came over to meet him.

"Yes." Qian Xiaoyi said, "This kind of practical experience without danger is very rare. This way you can also see where your limits are, and then I can make adjustments to your practice."

Inuyama Heita nodded nervously: "I understand."

He was also very curious about his current strength. In previous commissions, they either didn't encounter any decent enemies, or they were powerful enemies that only Qian Xiaoyi could deal with. Therefore, Inuyama Heitai usually had no chance to fight head-on and could only play a supporting role. This time was indeed a good opportunity.

Soon, the exorcists below reached their limit and were defeated by a dog-shaped shikigami. They fell at the second level and seemed to be of average strength.

Just as Inuyama Heita was about to go down, he saw a big man jump down first.

"Hahaha~ It's finally my turn!" King Kong patted his chest and laughed, "My name is King Kong! This guy is my current partner, his name is Musashi. Please give me your guidance!"

The doll cursed in his ear: "Asshole! My name is not Musashi! Don't push your luck!"

King Kong disagreed: "That name is too ugly, it means disabled and dead. Let's call him Musashi. Musashi of Miyamoto Musashi, how majestic is that?"

"You bastard, one day I will kill you!" said the doll viciously.

"King Kong, I'm looking forward to your performance. Are you ready?" asked Yoshisuke Ashiya.

"We can start anytime!" King Kong said with a heroic laugh.

The vengeful spirit appeared again, but before it had even appeared for two seconds, King Kong just roared and the thing was dead.

Then the second dog-shaped god also had his head smashed by King Kong's punch.

"Too weak! Give me something stronger!" King Kong shouted. His performance made many exorcists exclaim in amazement. They didn't expect that this big fool could be so powerful.

Terao Yu, who was watching the battle from above, looked at the arrogant King Kong and thought disapprovingly: "If that's the case, this guy won't last a few levels. The next one should be the evil spirit who is good at creating illusions. My ranking is correct. This guy will fail soon, so he is only C-rank."
