The master went down the mountain

The carving of battle patterns is extremely difficult, and no mistakes can be made during the process. It must be done in one go. If even the slightest mistake is made, you have to start all over again!

Even though Tang Zhan was very confident, he still made a mistake once, and only succeeded in portraying it on the second try!

It was already 7 a.m. the next morning!

"After the initial activation, my strength will increase tenfold!"

Tang Zhan's heart pounded wildly with excitement!

He desperately needed the strength to open the door to the third basement level of the ancestral building, so he activated the battle runes without hesitation!

As the dense, intricate patterns on his body lit up, Tang Zhan clearly felt his strength surge to a new level!

He was on his way back to the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall!

At this moment, Qin Yitian called: "The Japanese inspection team has set up nine arenas in the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall Square to challenge all cultivators from the ninth to the fourth rank in Jinling City. Countless cultivators and commoners will inevitably flock there to join the fun. All members of the Xuanmen Club and the Zhenxuan Division's enforcement team must go to maintain order!"

"knew!"

Tang Zhan hung up the phone, did not use any escape techniques, but left the underground base openly through the main entrance, and then took a taxi back to the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall!

"Wow, so many people!"

Tang Zhan was stunned by the dense crowd in the Tang Clan Ancestral Hall Square. He had expected it to be lively, but he hadn't expected it to be this lively!

There are even many small vendors selling things at stalls!

"Because of the Japanese expedition team's challenge to the cultivators of Jinling City, the hype started yesterday afternoon. As a result, countless cultivators and ordinary people with nothing better to do flocked here from all over the country yesterday afternoon and last night!"

At this moment, Lei Zhen appeared out of nowhere and said:

"Actually, this place was already packed with people by 7 a.m.!"

Just then, someone shouted:

"The Japanese expedition team has arrived!"

Tang Zhan turned his head and saw Beishan Guimang leading the Japanese expedition team in a grand procession!

The hatred of the Chinese people towards Japan is ingrained in their bones. Therefore, all the onlookers glared angrily at the Japanese delegation, and no one even made way for them!

The Japanese expedition team was even more arrogant, rampaging through everything in their path, even smashing through roads where none existed!

This angered the cultivators among the onlookers. Fortunately, members of the Xuanmen Club and the Zhenxuan Division's action team arrived in time, otherwise a fight would have broken out!

"I know you don't like me, you don't like the Japanese expedition team, you don't like Japan!"

The Northern Mountain Demon Python stopped, its disdainful gaze sweeping over the crowd, and spoke loudly in a provocative and contemptuous tone:

"I don't like you either, and I don't like China. If you're not satisfied, you can challenge me in the ring. Don't resort to these petty tricks from the sidelines; it's unbecoming of a great nation!"

Such blatant provocation and contempt enraged all the Chinese people present!

"How does the Japanese expedition team plan to challenge the cultivators of Jinling?"

Tang Zhan squeezed through the crowd, walked up to the Northern Mountain Ghost Python, and asked.

"Due to the time constraints and the lack of cooperation from the Chinese government, we only had time to build one arena. Therefore, I plan to have the strongest ninth-rank cultivator in the inspection team go up to the arena to challenge first!"

Although the Northern Mountain Demon Python was answering Tang Zhan's question, it didn't even glance at Tang Zhan, and said loudly:

"A ninth-rank cultivator will challenge on the arena for three days. If any ninth-rank cultivator from Jinling City defeats him within three days, he will step down early, and an eighth-rank cultivator will take his place to challenge all the eighth-rank cultivators from Jinling City. If no one can defeat a ninth-rank cultivator within three days, he will also voluntarily step down after three days, and an eighth-rank cultivator will take his place to challenge him."

"Thus, the ninth-rank challenge will last three days, the eighth-rank challenge will last three days, and the seventh, sixth, fifth, and fourth-rank challenges will each last three days."

"Nanjing City is the first stop for the Japanese expedition team. After I lead the team to defeat all the ninth- to fourth-rank cultivators in Nanjing, we will then challenge the cultivators in all the other cities of China one by one..."

Madness!

Beishan Guimang's words enraged all the Chinese people present!

It's not hard to tell from Beishan Guimang's words that he believes no cultivator in Jinling City or even the whole country can defeat the challengers from the Oriental Expedition!

"Northern Mountain Demon Python, did you lead this Eastern expedition to Jinling City to investigate and challenge, or to seek revenge?" Tang Zhan asked.

revenge?

These words left the onlookers bewildered!

"What do you mean by that?"

The Northern Mountain Demon Python finally looked at Tang Zhan, its eyes sharp!

"As far as I know, your father, the former leader of the Ghost Blade Sect, challenged Tang Ao, the founder of the Xuanmen Sect, and was beaten to tears by Tang Ao with a slipper. He committed suicide out of shame and indignation, which made the Ghost Blade Sect a laughing stock worldwide. For more than 20 years, they have not been able to hold their heads high. That's why I asked you if you came here to seek revenge!" Tang Zhan smiled.

The entire audience was stunned!

They genuinely didn't know this secret!

"Pfft..."

Someone couldn't help but burst out laughing!

Then the onlookers all burst into laughter, each one laughing more exaggeratedly than the last!

"you……"

When his wounds were exposed in public, Beishan Guimang's face turned liver-colored with rage!

The rest of the Japanese expedition team were even more furious, gripping their sword hilts and glaring at Tang Zhan, looking as if they would chop him to pieces if Beishan Guimang gave the order!

"Sir, you're overthinking it!"

Beishan Ghost Python certainly couldn't admit that he had come for revenge, so he suppressed his anger and said:

"The Japanese delegation has come to China to engage in friendly exchanges with Chinese cultivators. There is no intention of revenge. Please do not misinterpret this!"

"oh!"

Tang Zhan pretended to accept the Northern Mountain Ghost Python's explanation, then changed the subject and asked:

"I heard that last night, the deputy head of the Japanese expedition team, Masao Kishimoto, castrated himself. Is this a custom in Japan or among the Oni-sword faction? Is it a ritual of castration?"

The entire audience was stunned once again!

The fact that Masao Kishimoto was cut off has not yet been revealed, so the onlookers are unaware of it and are unsure whether what Tang Zhan said is true!

Kitayama Oni-mang was furious. Although he had long expected that the news of Kishimoto Masao's execution could not be kept secret, he did not expect Tang Zhan to question him so openly in public. This was simply a blatant slap in the face to him, the inspection team, and Japan!

Moreover, what the hell is this "cutting eggs to sacrifice to the flag" nonsense? If we don't refute this, the whole world will probably think that the Ghost Blade faction has this custom of cutting eggs to sacrifice to the flag!

"Sir, please don't misinterpret things. Mr. Kishimoto only accidentally injured himself while practicing. There was no such thing as sacrificing his testicles to the flag. Moreover, neither the Japanese nor the Ghost Blade faction has such a custom!" Kitayama Oni-man said with a dark face.

This statement essentially confirms Tang Zhan's words!

The onlookers burst into laughter again!

They didn't believe in the plans of the Northern Mountain Demon Python. Kishimoto Masao was a peak fourth-rank master. How could such a master accidentally castrate himself while practicing martial arts?

impossible!

"It seems that Masao Kishimoto traveled all the way to China, but suffered from acclimatization problems, urinary tract blockage, and in his inability to urinate, he cut himself open?" Tang Zhan sighed.
