Tokyo Knights: The Odd Jobs X Files

“Master Yuanzhai sent it back to the Great Rakshasa Sect.”

"That's what Maurisha replied."

Zhen Yuanzhai was an old hand in the martial arts world and naturally understood the rules. Since it was the ashes of the Great Rakshasa Sect Master, it had to be returned to the Great Rakshasa Sect. So after sending Li Xin back to Tokyo, Zhen Yuanzhai got a better urn, placed Wu Ji's ashes in it, and sent it to the Great Rakshasa Sect.

Li Xin nodded, then said to the three of them, "Anyway, I have to go there. Wait for me to come back."

Lai Shenglei was somewhat worried. After all, Li Xin had killed the sect leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect. Now that he was visiting on the seventh day after the sect leader's death, would they interpret it as a provocation?

But she could tell that Li Xin was determined to leave and that he would never give up no matter what she said, so she changed her mind and said, "Go soon and come back soon."

She still decided to support every decision Li Xin made.

Li Xin nodded, then kissed Lai Sheng Lei: "I will."

Then, before Morishia and Mai Shiranui could react, Li Xin kissed each of them once more.

Yes, mouth to mouth.

Seeing this from the side, Kiyosa Ai scratched her nails against the wall: "I'm so envious (Uramashi)!"

"wait me back!"

Li Xin said this to the three of them, then left without looking back.

Lai Sheng sighed, then couldn't help but laugh. She said to Mai Shiranui and Morishia, "Look, this is the man we like!"

Is it human to abandon these three beautiful women just to attend the seventh-day memorial service for the man who almost killed him?

"Isn't that great?"

Mai Shiranui said with a smile.

That's the kind of man a woman should fall for!

Mao Lixia also said, "I also think that Ashin should go."

If we didn't all have this kind of responsibility and courage, how could we accept these three women?

Lai Sheng Lei tilted her head and looked at the two of them: "You two are already taking Ah Xin's side now. Be careful, he might bully you to death later!"

"Bully, bully them to death..."

Mori-Shar was a little shy, while Mai Shiranui asked curiously, "How exactly do you mean to bully me?"

Lai Sheng Lei smiled, then pulled Shiranui Mai in front of him and began to bite her ear, making Shiranui Mai's pretty face turn red.

You big bad guy! I really misjudged you. I thought you were an honest person!

Mai Shiranui felt like she had boarded a pirate ship.

....................................

On his way from the tower apartment to the Great Rakshasa Sect, Li Xin sneezed twice. He rubbed his nose and thought to himself that his body was really failing him and he had even caught a cold.

Even though his body was not as strong as before, and even though he had just regained consciousness, Li Xin still possessed considerable strength among extraordinary experts, and his true energy was exceptionally abundant. Therefore, traveling to the Great Rakshasa Sect did not take Li Xin very long.

Li Xin had been to the Great Rakshasa Sect once before. He asked Zhen Yuanzhai for the address of the Great Rakshasa Sect and then went there. He originally wanted to find Wu Ji's relatives and ask them to persuade Wu Ji to end the duel, but Wu Ji's relatives were unusually resolute.

"This is the path he chose himself. As his family, the only thing we can do is support him so that he has no worries. If you truly consider him a friend, please do everything you can to help him."

This is what the ancestor of Wuji, an old man who looks very frail, said to Li Xin.

The Great Rakshasa Sect's headquarters is a magnificent and luxurious castle-like palace with a distinct Central Asian style. It covers a vast area and includes gardens, a training ground, numerous towers, and countless halls, resembling a small city.

At this time, funeral banners with distinct Central Plains characteristics were hung around the palace, and the decorations inside the castle were no different from those used for funerals in the Central Plains.

Although the Great Rakshasa sect is a Central Asian religion, many of the customs of its leader's lineage have followed those of the Central Plains. It is said that during the Northern and Southern Dynasties period in the Central Plains, a leader of the Great Rakshasa sect married a woman from the Central Plains as his wife. During the Sui and Tang Dynasties, there were two leaders from the Central Plains. Therefore, many customs from the Central Plains remained in the Great Rakshasa sect, and the funeral customs of the Great Rakshasa sect also followed those of the Central Plains.

When Li Xin last visited the Great Rakshasa Sect, the sect had already begun setting up the mourning hall. After all, they knew very well when their sect leader would pass away, and many things were prepared in advance.

Because of this, Li Xin knew that the funeral customs of the Great Rakshasa Sect followed those of the Central Plains, including a seven-day mourning period.

When Li Xin arrived at the Great Rakshasa Sect's headquarters, the castle gates were wide open. The Great Rakshasa Sect never closed its gates; they were always open, and anyone who didn't care about their life could come in.

On the gate, the white funeral banners were stained with blood, and a corpse was nailed to each side of the gate. Judging from their clothing, appearance and skin color, they seemed to be people from India.

Li Xin vaguely remembered the appearances of these two people; they seemed to be two of the extraordinary experts who had come to watch the battle earlier.

In an era when near-god level experts were restricted from easily venturing out, extraordinary experts represented the pinnacle of personal power. Yet now, two extraordinary experts were utterly disrespected and pinned to the left and right of the main gate of the Great Rakshasa Sect, like two stone statues guarding the house.

This is the Great Rakshasa Sect, the strongest force in Central Asia, standing on this land for thousands of years, the undisputed king. Even when the three major branches of the world's largest religion, the Church of Christ, joined forces to besiege it, they were defeated.

Li Xin swallowed hard, but without hesitation, he entered the Great Rakshasa Sect.

Chapter 769 Supreme

Li Xin had visited the Great Rakshasa Sect once before and received a solemn welcome from the sect's patriarch. Therefore, this time, Li Xin was not harassed when he came to the Great Rakshasa Sect. Instead, he was respectfully invited into the mourning hall by the sect's steward.

Because it is the seventh day after death, not a funeral, and the main purpose is for family members to pay their respects, there are no other guests in the mourning hall, only Wu Ji's younger brother and his more than one hundred concubines.

Yes, more than a hundred concubines... and of all races, including slender and plump women.

Li Xin's eyelids twitched. This guy...

On the altar hung a portrait of Wu Ji. It must be said that, given the status of the Great Rakshasa Sect, which was like that of an emperor in Central Asia, the painter they hired was definitely a first-rate artist of the time. The portrait of Wu Ji was arrogant and domineering, and even more lifelike than the real person.

This kind of effect that photographs cannot achieve is perhaps why painters did not disappear after the invention of the camera.

Is it really okay to hang such an annoying portrait in a solemn place like a funeral hall? But considering that this is Wuji's funeral hall, it seems quite reasonable.

Thinking of this, Li Xin couldn't help but smile bitterly.

After receiving the incense from the steward, Li Xin bowed three times to Wu Ji's portrait.

After Li Xin finished paying his respects, Wu Ji's younger brother, a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old, said to Li Xin, "Are you the one who dueled with my brother?"

"Are you Wu Ji's younger brother?"

Li Xin asked.

"That's right, I am Yongfei, the new sect leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect."

Yongfei stood tall and proud. Although he was young, he possessed a unique youthful spirit of resilience. His long, golden-red hair fluttered in the wind, further highlighting his extraordinary demeanor as the young sect leader.

"Yes, it's me..."

Li Xin nodded.

Did my brother... say anything in the end?

Yongfei asked.

He said…

Seeing the glint in Yongfei's eyes, Li Xin couldn't help but say, "He said he broke his promise and can't go back to celebrate his brother's birthday..."

Yongfei's eyes suddenly began to well up with tears uncontrollably: "Silly brother, so you still remember... I thought you were so caught up in the heat of the moment that you forgot everything..."

He quickly wiped away his tears and then said, "Let me ask you one more question: what was my older brother's expression when he passed away?"

"His smile is incredibly smug."

Li Xin told the truth.

This answer surprised Yongfei. Was it a good answer or a bad answer?

After answering Yongfei's two questions, Li Xin also had something to say to Yongfei. He said, "Take a message to your elder brother's grave for me."

"What?"

Yongfei asked.

Although Wu Ji died because of Li Xin, Yong Fei had no hostility towards Li Xin. On the contrary, he even had some respect for the person Wu Ji had chosen as his final opponent.

Moreover, according to what Yongfei learned about the duel, Li Xin held back several times in order to let Wu Ji have a good time, which allowed Wu Ji's strength to improve all the way through the "Twenty-Seven Great Limit" and ultimately turn defeat into victory.

Therefore, Li Xin was not only not an enemy of the Great Rakshasa Sect, but also a friend, and a very important one at that.

Li Xin thought for a moment and said to Yong Fei, "Just tell him... he won and then ran away, how despicable!"

Do you know that by doing this, I will forever be subordinate to you, you bastard Wuji!

Li Xin felt a pang of disappointment.

"what?"

Yongfei was stunned for a moment. Before he could understand the meaning behind Li Xin's words, the steward of the Great Rakshasa Sect came running over. He first bowed to Yongfei, and then said to Li Xin, "Lord Axin, the Ancestor invites you."

Upon hearing that it was the Ancestor who wanted to see Li Xin, Yongfei could only suppress his doubts and let Li Xin go see the Ancestor first.

Li Xin followed the steward to a side hall. Inside, an old man with white hair and beard sat cross-legged. Noticing Li Xin's arrival, the old man closed his eyes and said calmly, "Sit."

A hundred years ago, the Great Rakshasa Sect faced internal and external troubles. In order to fight against the crisis, the sect leader at that time had to make a decision: to restart the forbidden martial art "Rakshasa Divine Skill" which had been sealed for thousands of years, and to let his eldest son practice it.

That eldest son was the legendary sect leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect, who later became famous throughout the Western world and achieved the astonishing feat of defeating the "Ten Saints".

However, the side effects of the Rakshasa Divine Skill were too great, and it could only be used to solve immediate problems, not as a long-term solution. Therefore, in addition to having his eldest son practice the Rakshasa Divine Skill, the sect leader of the Great Rakshasa Sect also taught another unique skill of the Great Rakshasa Sect, the Martial Path, to his younger son who was more talented.

The eldest son's lineage has protected the youngest son with the "Rakshasa Kui Divine Skill" for generations, while the youngest son painstakingly cultivates the "Martial Valor Path".

A century later, this youngest son had become the most senior member of the Great Rakshasa Sect, and was respectfully addressed as "Ancestor" by everyone in the sect, even the sect leader had to show him respect.

Li Xin sat down as instructed and noticed that the patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect carried a hint of malevolent energy.

This murderous aura was obviously not directed at Li Xin, otherwise the Great Rakshasa Sect would not have been so polite to him. Clearly, this murderous aura was caused by the two extraordinary Indian experts in front of the main gate.

The ancestor opened his eyes, looked at Li Xin and said, "My Great Rakshasa Sect's sect leader has just left, and some clowns couldn't resist coming to cause trouble. I'm sorry you had to see this."

"No no."

Li Xin shook his head repeatedly.

The fact that he killed two extraordinary experts in succession, leaving them no chance to escape, is awe-inspiring and would never be ridiculed.

The patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect was about to say something when he suddenly frowned, carefully examined Li Xin, and said, "The injuries on your body..."

"He's mostly recovered."

Li Xin replied.

"Ha, your vital energy has been damaged, your foundation has been destroyed, and even your primordial spirit has been harmed. And you still say you're not seriously injured?"

The patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect had sharp eyes and saw through Li Xin's current situation at a glance. He sighed and said, "It's really too much trouble for you to fight my child."

Why do no extraordinary experts want to provoke the Great Rakshasa Sect Master? Besides the fact that the Great Rakshasa Sect Master can become infinitely stronger due to the "Twenty-Seven Great Limit," it's also because fighting a short-lived ghost is a losing proposition—winning is not profitable, and losing is a huge loss.

Even if Wu Ji, who practices the Rakshasa Divine Art, doesn't die in the duel, today will be his death day.

In contrast, Li Xin has at least a hundred years of peak performance, and with his talent, it is not impossible for him to go even further in the future.

Li Xin, who was destined to become a trendsetter of this era, had his future cut off due to his duel with Wu Ji, and could never recover to his pre-duel state. Such a tragic loss would make even strangers feel sorry, but Li Xin said, "It's nothing serious," which made the patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect feel even more guilty.

The patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect said, "When that brat Zhen Yuanzhai sent your ashes, he only said you were injured, but he didn't tell me that you were so badly injured. That brat deserves to be beaten!"

If Zhen Yuanzhai had said so, he should have visited Li Xin himself, instead of Li Xin coming to him. The way things are now makes it seem like the Great Rakshasa Sect is acting unethically.

kid?

Hearing someone address his master in such a way and with such a tone, Li Xin should have been furious. However, considering that the old man was already over a hundred years old, and that even Zhen Yuanzhai could only refer to himself as a "junior" in front of him, Li Xin lost his temper.

However, Li Xin still wanted to defend his master, so he said, "Senior, my master didn't know the specifics of my situation at the time."

The patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect shook his head and said to Li Xin, "Come closer."

Li Xin knew that the patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect would not harm him, so he walked over generously. The patriarch took Li Xin's pulse, stroked his beard, and his expression changed. Finally, he shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I have no way to restore your body."

Li Xin was not surprised by what the patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect said. He had previously tried to heal himself with the "Mingyu True Qi," but the "Mingyu True Qi," which had always worked, was of little effect on Li Xin's injuries. To put it bluntly, it was completely useless.

Li Xin's current condition has damaged his vital energy and foundation. To put it simply, the container that is Li Xin's body has shrunk, and its upper limit has been cut. No matter how much it is repaired, it cannot be restored.

This kind of injury is beyond the help of "Mingyu True Qi", "Tianshan Snow Lotus Pill", and naturally, even the ancestor of the Great Rakshasa Sect has no way to fix it.

Li Xin had anticipated this, so he wasn't disappointed. Instead, he said, "Thank you for your trouble, senior."

"Too much trouble?"

The patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect shook his head with a wry smile. He looked at Li Xin, whose face was calm, and said slowly, "A promising future has been ruined... When ordinary people encounter such a thing, they will either shout and scream, or become disheartened, or even have thoughts of suicide. Of course, the most likely scenario is that they will resent Wu Ji and my Great Rakshasa Sect because of this. But you not only came to pay your respects to Wu Ji, but you also did not have any complaints. You... are a good child!"

With a sigh, the patriarch of the Great Rakshasa Sect said to Li Xin, "I cannot restore your body, but you may be able to do it yourself. Come with me."

Li Xin didn't understand what the Great Rakshasa Sect's patriarch meant, but he still followed the patriarch to a grand hall.

The main hall was unusually spacious, with a huge statue of a demon god in the center, fierce and domineering, which was the great god Rakshasa worshipped by the Great Rakshasa Sect.

Of course, Li Xin had heard Wu Ji say that this so-called Rakshasa God should be a near-god-level powerhouse with earth-shattering strength in ancient times, and the Rakshasa God Technique was created by him.
