Becoming a Fox Spirit from Under One Person.

This person had long hair, wore a loose-fitting long robe, and seemed lifeless.

"It really was you. I thought of this as soon as Homer mentioned that there was a fox in the cave. There is no other fox in the world that would interfere in this matter."

Wakasa Shobei said weakly, pointing at the corpse of the butterfly: "It's a very interesting method. I've seen it in the Book of Chronicles. The butterfly is Ding Fire, the Vermilion Bird of the South, standing on Gui Water. The Vermilion Bird in the sky falls into the underground river, hence the saying 'the bird throws itself into the river.'"

A sparrow plunges into the river, never to return. Ask not where the fighting begins, for its own wicked nature devours it, leaving only ashes.

Upon hearing this, Tang An immediately understood: it was the king of arts, Qimen Dunjia!

"Judging from your expression, the demons outside the hole have probably been dealt with as well," Chen Ruoan asked.

The man before them, Wakasa Shobei, was the new head of the ninja clan, while the "Nichikoji" who dealt with Tang Bingwen outside was nothing more than a puppet.

Zhuang Bingwei laughed and said, "The three elders are dead, as are the ghost seed and the trainer. The rest have scattered and fled to various places. I don't know if this has chosen a suitable path for them."

"So why are you showing yourself in public now?" Lu Huizhong asked.

"Let's take a look at the Emperor who strikes fear into our hearts, and see what kind of demeanor he possesses. Then..." Wakasa Shohei drew the blade slung diagonally from his waist and assumed a fighting stance.

"The conditions for the duel remain; whichever side the last person to emerge from is the winner."

Chen Ruoan moved to the center.

In fact, Wakasa Shohei is a tragic figure. He wholeheartedly wanted to guide Higashi Shinobu onto the right path, but all his subordinates were hopeless bastards. In the end, even when Tang Bingwen made the decision to accept only him, he still chose to stand with the Oni Clan.

"Please enlighten me," Zhuang Bingwei said.

Before Chen Ruoan could reply, Lu Huizhong and Tang An stood in front of him.

"Your Majesty, we still need to process Boss Zhao's ten gold bars."

"Then you'll have to put in a lot of effort." Chen Ruoan found a corner where he wouldn't be affected by the battle, obediently lay down, and looked up to examine the central battlefield of the cave.

Before taking action, Wakasa Shobei exhaled, seemingly activating some kind of magic. The fox immediately lit up its golden eyes and looked around. It saw layers of silver light spreading outwards like ripples on the surface of water.

These ripples connected the ghosts hiding in the mountains and wilderness.

Chen Ruoan perked up his ears and heard Wakasa Shobei say, "Everyone, this is my last ripple."

The ninja leader is delivering his final words.

But the fox discovered that, thanks to his ability to see through the golden eyes, he quickly figured out the principles of the ripples, and could even use the "ripples" to locate the scattered ghosts.

Chapter 210 The Gods Have Unleashed Their Power

Just when I was worried about how to lock down all the ghosts and annihilate them all, the method was delivered to my doorstep on its own.

Chen Ruoan raised his paw and stomped, causing ripples to spread outwards, mixing into the ripples that connected all the Biheren. The thoughts of the ghosts outside the cave were also transmitted back to the fox's ears.

Of the four elders of Biheren, two died from poisoning, one was stabbed through the head by Tang Bingwen with a dagger, and the other fled.

In the forests of the mountains, Tang Clan disciples and ninjas dressed in night clothes fought fiercely, their corpses lying haphazardly on the grass. The ghosts who were still able to escape had given up on direct confrontation and hid in extremely dangerous places.

Chen Ruoan heard the voice of the ninja leader mixed in with the ripples: "Gentlemen, this is the path you have chosen. I wonder if the scenery you have encountered along the way is as you wished."

"I am powerless to lead you here via a safer route, and I am ashamed to be called your leader. But in any case, we have set foot on this land, and the price has been so heavy that we cannot give up."

"Finally, I would like to advise you all to try your best to hide and survive! If you are willing to let go of everything, let go of the damned hatred and dignity, then the shadow of your homeland and the disputes with the locals can all be resolved. Time will heal all wounds."

···

After Wakasa Shobei finished giving all the instructions, he wanted to say something more, but a familiar voice mingled with the ripples.

"Ninja Art: Ripple" is an exclusive technique of the successive ninja leaders, and he had never heard of it being leaked to outsiders, which shocked him greatly.

Zhuang Bingwei opened his eyes and glanced at the fox in the corner. The reason why that voice was familiar was because he had just heard it before.

He heard Chen Ruoan say, "There will always be things in history that we need to remember. Time will not erase everything, but death will."

"Impossible, how did you do that? Your voice was mixed in with the 'ripples,' and your authority to interfere with information is even higher than mine," Erli said incredulously.

Chen Ruoan pulled down her left lower eyelid with her index finger, whether as an explanation or simply as a funny face, it was unclear.

Before Wakasa Shobei could react to Lu Huizhong and Tang An, he immediately used Ripples and the Oni Clan to say, "Run! Your location has been discovered!"

Snapped!

The ripples that did not spread were intercepted by the fox's Qi.

···

In the forest outside the cave, Tang Miaoxing stood in front of Tang Bingwen and reported the situation inside the cave: "Chief, the battle is over. The Japanese have begun to use the terrain to escape. It will probably be difficult to kill them all."

Tang Bingwen had anticipated this situation long ago. Wakasa Shobei chose the Jilin Mountains because he wanted to have a way to escape after the defeat.

"This is to remove thorns. Every thorn we remove reduces the number of thorns on our territory. We'll kill as many as we can. We're not gods; we'll just do our best."

"Yes!" Tang Miaoxing accepted the order and turned to leave. Immediately afterward, another Tang Clan disciple came to report that poison barriers had been set up at all the major exits in the mountains, and even some dangerous cliffs were guarded by various sects.

Whose decorations are these?

"It's different from the poison of the Tang Clan; it's Gu poison."

"Did the Great Gu Master of Qinghe still bring his disciples?" Tang Miaoxing thought for a moment. The disciple who was most likely to take over the leadership position in Qinghe had died, so it would be unreasonable for the master not to show up.

The visitor added, "Besides the arrangements in the mountains, some sword cultivators are making organized advances in certain directions. Strangely, the places these people pass through are definitely hiding Higanbana ninjas. All the hidden assassins we let slip have been eliminated!"

"No survivors?"

"No, it's as if the mountains and fields have come to life and are guiding them to kill the enemy. The Japanese devils simply have nowhere to escape!"

Tang Bingwen chuckled softly: "Looks like a deity has intervened. Tell our people not to fall behind, and not to disgrace the Tang Clan."

"Yes!"

At the foot of the mountain, the entrance was shrouded in a pale purple poisonous mist. The crevices in the rocks and the grass were crawling with carefully crafted poisonous insects, their rustling sounds sending chills down one's spine.

"Grandma, aren't we going inside?" Zhang Shuying asked.

"We'll be responsible for surrounding and controlling the area. We'll just kill any that come out." The Grand Gu Master stared at the path in the poisonous fog.

Of course, given the extremely poisonous setup that deterred even strangers, it's estimated that few Japanese soldiers would dare to force their way in.

"Grandma, there's someone! It looks like Liuyun Sword!" Zhang Shuying said, pointing ahead. The person was staggering and seemed to be seriously injured.

"Gentlemen, I am Zhang Dong of the Flowing Cloud Sword. Due to an ambush, I am unable to fight any longer. Please disperse the poisonous fog and open a path for me," the man said, clutching his arm.

"Grandma, this person has been slashed."

The Grand Gu Master stared at Zhang Dong through the fog, raised his hand and took out a small insect, using a sound-transmitting Gu to speak a few words to Chen Ruoan in the hole.

She dispelled the pale purple miasma, and a secluded path stretched from the mountains to the Gu Masters.

"Heroes of the Flowing Cloud Sword, come here, I have medicine here to heal external injuries."

"Thank you very much." Zhang Dong clasped his hands in thanks, then covered his arm and walked into the poisonous fog. He was on the narrow path in the fog, with dead ends on both sides, and he was a little apprehensive.

Suddenly, the miasma gathered a little closer to the center.

What does this mean?

"It was blown by the wind," the old woman said with a smile.

Zhang Dong frowned, estimating the distance ahead, and suddenly leaped into the air. His movements were so clean and swift that he didn't seem like an injured person at all.

Snapped!

The Grand Gu Master clapped his hands, and the living Gu on both sides of the mountain path drove the poisonous mist to quickly gather towards the center. Before Zhang Dong could rush out, his whole body was enveloped in the mist.

The poison took effect quickly!

Zhang Dong convulsed violently, his jaw chattering, and finally curled up on the ground, twitching uncontrollably.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you trying to harm me? At this critical moment, even if there are private conflicts, shouldn't we put them aside for now and focus all our efforts on resisting the enemy?"

The Grand Gu Master walked into the mist and whispered, "A very exquisite disguise technique. Not only your appearance, but you even imitated the unique Qi of the Flowing Cloud Sword Sect. You even learned our language."

"I can not understand what you say."

"The con artist, Yohei Aoyama."

Bastard! Bastard! Bastard!

Aoyama Yohei cursed inwardly. The Tang Clan disciples had received special training in seeing through deception. It was one thing that he couldn't deceive them, but why could a bunch of women see through his disguise?

“Your injury was caused by sword energy. It looks like you fought with Zhang Dong. You’re really unlucky to have had to impersonate him. Let me tell you, even if Zhang Dong dies in the mountains, he won’t drag his wounds down the mountain to live on.”

The old woman smiled and said, "The successors of the Flowing Cloud Sword are all quite principled. Zhang Dong is one, and so is his junior brother Lin Zifeng."

Her expression suddenly changed, and her five fingers, wreathed in black poison, gripped Aoyama Yohei's face: "My daughter is no less capable, but because of some damned ninja leader, because of you bunch of scoundrels who invaded my land and killed my compatriots..."

The conman's disguise rotted away under the corrosive effects of the toxins, revealing a scruffy, unkempt face. Soon, his hair and beard began to fall out.

"Ahhhh!"

呲呲呲!

Amidst the agonizing screams, the eerie sound of flesh and blood dissolving echoed through the mist. The old woman was stunned for a long time. When she came to her senses, all that remained in her grasp was a white skull.

"There aren't many people left." The Grand Master of Gu glanced at the mountain path. "Follow me up the mountain."

···

"Gone, all gone." Wakasa Shohei sensed the fluctuations transmitted back by the ripples, but no matter how hard he tried or how much energy he expended, he could no longer hear any echo.

Chen Ruoan's ears twitched; the world had finally quieted down.

Chapter 211 No Forcible Abduction of Women!

Wakasa Shohei knelt down and shook his head, saying, "The path I planned for Higashinobu is also a dead end. Master, there's nothing I can do."

"You're utterly incompetent, utterly incompetent!"

The fox wagged its tail back and forth, saying repeatedly, "Alright, alright, it's almost time."

Chen Ruoan could have called Wakasa Shobei a good person, but if this good person only converts demons, then the good person himself no longer exists.

The fox had just used the Ninja Technique: Ripple to spy on the Oni Clan's thoughts and discovered that none of them were good people.

Rather than a stable life, they prefer to take root on the mainland, nurture the seeds of hatred, and ultimately become vermin hiding in the shadows.

In future generations, this group will become an unresolved poison on this newly born land, hiding in the shadows and doing some extremely disgusting things.

After hearing the fox's words, Wakasa Shohei revealed an extremely sorrowful expression and drew his sword, pointing it at his chest.
