Evil Spirit Consultant

Chapter 316 Chaos (Part 2)
In Fukuoka City, inside an underground black market disguised as an antique shop.

After the earthquake, feeling the terrifying force that suddenly erupted from two directions, the underground black market boss sitting in his basement clicked his tongue: "This power... is truly exaggerated..."

After thinking for a moment, he turned around and shouted at the stairs next to him without turning back: "You brat!"

"...Here it comes!"

A short while later, accompanied by hurried footsteps, a young man ran down from upstairs: "Master, what is it?"

"How many times have I told you to call me boss in the store!" I subconsciously corrected him. Only then did the boss ask, "How's the thing I asked you to do going?"

"Huh? Which matter are you talking about?" The young man scratched his head in distress. "Boss, you've given me too many things to do."

The boss angrily smacked him on the head: "Of course it's about mixing sand into the materials those bastards in the military need!"

"Ah, you mean that? Of course, it was perfectly completed!"

The shop assistant chuckled smugly: "To prevent them from finding out, I even hired a professional. Those materials work perfectly fine under normal circumstances, but they're prone to breaking down under excessive load... What's wrong, boss? Did you manage to rip them off?"

The boss didn't answer the question, but just waved his hand impatiently: "Go away! Why are you asking so many questions, kid? Hurry up and go back upstairs to serve customers!"

"You're the one who told me to come..." the shop assistant muttered unhappily, but still obeyed orders and returned to the shop upstairs.

The boss ignored his apprentice's grumbling and continued to lie on the chair like a salted fish. After a long while, he finally seemed to realize what was happening and chuckled softly.
"Go in peace, Moriyama..." (Chapter 246)

……

Nokojima Island, Chida Etsuko's command post.

Just as Yang Liu broke free of her restraints and the ghosts burst forth from the lake, Chida Ezuko was trying to reorganize her forces and take control of Yang Liu again at all costs!
The willow, this "perfect container," must not be allowed to get out of control!

Although the core of the magic array collapsed, she had prepared multiple backup cores, and it could be restored to normal quickly with timely adjustments.

However, before she could issue any new orders, an even more urgent report came in that caught her completely off guard!

"Reporting, Miss! Something terrible has happened! Young Master Chida... Chida Ikei has led the main landing ships of the First Fleet and at least one regiment of troops to force their way in! They have broken through our outer two lines of defense and are advancing rapidly towards the central area! Their target... seems to be you!"

"What?!" Chida Ezuko turned her head sharply, her eyes filled with disbelief and rage. "That bastard! How dare he?!"

She instantly understood her brother's intention.

Because of his previous plan, he was now at a disadvantage. The eldest son of the Chida family understood the situation and knew that if things continued like this, he would be gradually devoured. So he launched a "coup" without regard for anything else!
We must use the most direct and brutal methods to seize her achievements and eliminate this troublesome competitor.

What a wonderful Chidaike! He truly is her "good brother"!
Even Chida Ezuko didn't expect him to dare to do this. No... she should say, she didn't expect Chida Ike to have such a desperate and reckless courage!

In the past, with the wealth of the Chida family, even if Chida Ike lost the competition, he could still take a large amount of assets and his confidants to other countries to develop and make a name for himself.

Chidaikei's actions now are a complete betrayal of propriety. If he is defeated by her, even the old guys in the family will tacitly allow him to be killed.

Therefore, Chida Etsuko never considered the possibility that the other party might fight to the death.

But Chidaike did just that, and at the "perfect" time—a chaotic moment when his own plan had faltered and the demons might escape! A pincer attack from within and without! Surrounded by formidable enemies!
An out-of-control artificial god, a willow tree freed from its confinement, impending ghosts and spirits, and a brother stabbing you in the back...

In an instant, Chida Etsuko, who always prided herself on being in control of the situation, also felt an unprecedented sense of being overwhelmed.

In that moment of distraction and chaos, no one noticed... Yang Liu, along with Xiao Quanling, had vanished like a ghost.

They temporarily withdrew from this hellish arena that was about to completely degenerate into a chaotic dance of gods and demons, where brothers were killing each other.

……

……

The sounds of intense gunfire, energy explosions, and inhuman roars came from behind, indicating that the central area of ​​Nenggu Island had been completely turned into a frenzied battlefield.

Carrying Koizumi Rin, who was somewhat exhausted due to fear and the awakening of her abilities, Yang Liu, relying on her astonishing speed after regaining most of her strength and her accurate judgment of the terrain, moved like a ghost through the chaotic dense forest.

Instead of returning the way he came, he retreated in a relatively remote direction, far from the main battle zone.

He dealt with any stragglers or ninjas he encountered along the way in the blink of an eye, without pausing for a moment.

Finally, Yang Liu stopped by a secluded mountain stream.

Here, the hustle and bustle was temporarily gone, and the animals in the forest hibernated because of the fighting nearby; only the sound of flowing water could be heard.

He carefully leaned Koizumi Rin against the rock and checked on her condition.

The girl's face was still pale, and her body was trembling slightly, but her eyes had regained some of their sparkle. However, her gaze towards Yang Liu was filled with complex and indescribable emotions.

"Teacher...are we...safe?" Koizumi Rin asked timidly, her voice still a little hoarse.

"We're safe for now." Yang Liu nodded, but her gaze drifted to the still turbulent sky behind her, where energy fluctuations were violent. "But the trouble isn't over yet."

He looked at Koizumi Rin, recalling the sudden and drastic changes that had occurred before, and a thought stirred within him.

Crouch down, trying to make your line of sight level with the girl's.

"Koizumi-san," Yang Liu's voice was softer than usual, "thank you for earlier...."

Upon hearing this, Koizumi Rin trembled violently and looked up at Yang Liu in disbelief.

"Teacher...you know?"

"Actually, I don't really know what happened to you." Yang Liu plopped down on the ground next to Xiao Quanling. "But judging from your reaction just now, you really did save me, right? So... thank you..."

"No...no, if it weren't for the teacher coming to save me, I wouldn't have been in such a dangerous situation..." Koizumi Rin seemed a little at a loss.

She had been thanked before, but never before had she felt so flustered.
