Zuo Yuecangqiong's Real Name
There was no further sound from the other end. Nan Jinping stared at the tiny "communicator," no bigger than a soybean, with a look of astonishment.
"This tiny object possesses the abilities of Cultivator — True God! Mr. Xu is incredibly talented; I must rescue him!"
"It's just a smaller telephone."
Hua Ruoxi carefully examined herself, narrowed her eyes, and said in a deep voice:
"Xu Shou is no simple man. I saw him at the Emperor's banquet; it was quite a grand affair, and he didn't seem to be forced at all. There must be some hidden story behind it."
Nan Jinping frowned upon hearing this. "Let's see what he has to say when we meet tomorrow."
It was almost 2 a. m. when Hua Ruoxi gestured towards the villa and said, "Go inside and wait."
Fearing trouble, Nan Jinping asked, "Is it convenient?"
"Naturally convenient."
Hua Ruoxi said as she walked:
"Prince Qing is a favorite of the Emperor, and his sons are all studying at the Army Academy and the Imperial University, so their status is extraordinary."
Nan Jinping nodded. He had thought that the Golden Aristocrat were being detained and monitored here, but now it seemed that was far from the truth.
At this point, the two entered the villa's living area directly through the back door.
The floor was pure white, smooth and lustrous like bone – it was ivory flooring throughout the room!
Even though Nan Jinping was well-traveled and knowledgeable, he was still taken aback by such extravagance, and his footsteps unconsciously became slightly heavier, making a creaking sound.
Hua Ruoxi quickly whispered a reminder, "Be quiet, Xianyu is a light sleeper, don't wake her up."
Nan Jinping rolled her eyes; she didn't have a good impression of that "Kawashima Kakko."
When dawn broke, Hua Ruoxi personally went to arrange for her mistress to get up, change clothes, and have breakfast.
It took them quite a while to get back, and just then, a black Mercedes classic car pulled up in front of the villa.
An officer in a major's uniform stepped out of the driver's seat, opened the rear door, and helped an elderly man out of the vehicle.
He was nearly seventy years old, with a refined and scholarly appearance, and his formal tailcoat made him look even taller and slimmer.
"They've arrived."
The visitor was Xu Shou, Hua Ruoxi went down to greet him.
After the meeting, Xu Shou instructed the Izumo officer:
"I'll chat with Eunuch Hua for a bit, then I'll be leaving soon. Matsumoto-kun, feel free to wander around as you like."
The Jurchens had completely integrated into Izumo and could even be considered the Emperor's direct descendants.
Major Matsumoto was quite relieved and didn't disturb the two's "meeting of old friends in a foreign land." He stood at attention, bowed, and then withdrew.
The two leisurely entered the room where Nan Jinping was. As soon as they closed the door, Xu Shou bowed deeply to the ground:
"This must be the renowned righteous Righteous Warrior from the South. Xu Shou greets you! I've been fooled into coming here for seven years, and finally, my savior has arrived!"
"Sir, there's no need for such formalities."
Nan Jinping quickly helped him up, while Hua Ruoxi, holding the soybean-shaped communicator, spoke:
"With your abilities, sir, why are you only now thinking of leaving? You must have had plenty of opportunities over the years."
To be honest...
Xu Shou sighed, "I was deceived by [Ma Xinjie]... This is the Emperor's real name, this scoundrel is from the Divine Continent! And he's one of the Four Spirits, the Azure Dragon!"
"Ah!!!???"
Upon hearing such explosive news, Nan Jinping and Hua Ruoxi were immediately dumbfounded!
Xu Shou continued:
"I've known Ma Xinjie for 20 years. Back then, he seemed like a respectable and knowledgeable person, but I never imagined he was such a heartless scoundrel!"
"Over the years, this scoundrel has been threatening my granddaughter's life to force me to research weapons and secret techniques."
"My son died young, leaving me with only this one child. I've been a good girl and can see my granddaughter once a month."
As he spoke, Xu Shou slammed his hand on the table and roared:
"Until recently, I took a hair from my 'granddaughter' for a DNA test and discovered that we are not related by blood. She is actually of Izumo blood... She's a fake!"
Hua Ruoxi asked, "How accurate is DNA testing for blood relations?"
"99.99% accuracy!"
Xu Shou said in a deep voice:
"In order to study the [Tactical Ghost], Ma Xinjie brought a lot of genetic knowledge! This guy controls a world and can travel back and forth every six months."
At this point, Xu Shou's face showed urgency as he said:
"The Tactical Ghost Project has always been in charge of Prince Qing. This man tricked Fan Chengxun of the Jiu Shan Sect, achieved a breakthrough, and developed a new type of 'Prion Virus'."
"It can spread through bodily fluids, turning people into monsters; even innate martial artists are not immune!"
"Ma Xinjie suffered a loss at Heavenly Monarch Lu, and given his nature, he will definitely spread this biological weapon Divine Continent!"
Upon hearing this, Nan Jinping and Hua Ruoxi were immediately shocked!
Both of them had met Fan Chengxun and knew all too well what this new "Prion Virus" was.
It can infect innate martial artists; once it spreads, it will surely wipe out the entire race!
Hua Ruoxi changed her tune and hurriedly said, "We must get the message back quickly, let's set off now!"
"And your young master?"
"I'll go tell her, let's go together!"
Hua Ruoxi hurriedly went to find Kawashima Kakko.
Xu Shou also said:
"No need to rush. Ma Xinjie and Amaterasu have gone to the sacred realm of Mount Fuji; they won't be out for at least three to five days. I even secretly built a plane. By the time the Devils realize something's wrong, we'll be back in the Divine Continent!"
The two felt a little relieved. Hua Ruoxi returned after only two or three minutes, bringing back a girl wearing a JK skirt.
The young girl had fair, smooth skin, was sweet and obedient, and possessed the cultivation level of a blood transfusion cultivator. She looked at Nan and Xu, and hesitated before saying:
"Is Anda going to take me back to the Divine Continent?"
Before Hua Ruoxi could speak, Xu Shou said, "Xianyu Princess Xianyu still remember me?"
"I remember, the teacher taught me some foreign languages."
Kawashima Kakko looked so pitiful; she truly evoked pity in me.
Xu Shou said, "You have the blood of the Jurchens, Devils will surely use you to turn you into a monster. I'm not exaggerating; you'd better come with us."
Kawashima Kakko nodded calmly, somewhat reluctantly, but didn't say anything more.
The group was about to set off when Xu Shou said, "Take my car to Xixiang Mountain; the plane is there."
The three elderly people and the child walked out of the villa and headed towards the Mercedes-Benz.
Major Matsumoto thought they were done talking and was about to get in his car.
Upon seeing Kawashima Kakko emerge, he immediately stepped forward, bowing and scraping with utmost respect.
At this moment, Hua Ruoxi flashed, transforming into a shadowy figure that swept past the man.
His head caved in instantly, and he died on the spot, his eyes wide open as he stared at Kawashima Kakko.
Kawashima Kakko lowered her head and turned her face away, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, unnoticed by anyone.
They dumped the body in the meadow and covered it up simply. Then, everyone got into the car, which Hua Ruoxi drove towards Xixiang Mountain.
The total distance is 12 kilometers, and it only takes about 10 minutes to get there.
This was a barren mountain. Xu Shou directed several people to dig out a large oilcloth package from the ground. Inside, they found a jumble of metal parts.
Xu Shou pulled out a large wrench and deftly screwed the parts onto the arriving car using bolts.
In just 15 minutes, this classic Mercedes-Benz gained wings and a tail wing.
The car body was covered in exposed bolts, and a large, thick, horn-shaped pipe was clamped into the rear, which appeared to be the engine.
The entire vehicle has a steampunk style, which makes people suspicious.
"It's done!"
Xu Shou got into the driver's seat first, then called to the others:
"This journey is two thousand kilometers long; ordinary engines and fuel won't suffice. The vehicle contains my invented [True Qi Machine], which requires the two of you to inject your true qi for it to take off."
"No problem."
Nan Jinping and Hua Ruoxi had just touched the car door and were about to get in when their expressions immediately changed!
From the direction of Sakura City, a vulture the size of a fighter jet flew in from afar, with a person sitting on its back.
"It's Prince Qing! How did he know!"
It was Prince Qing and his minister who arrived, but less than half an hour had passed since they left, and the pursuers were coming too fast.
"Quickly channel your inner energy! This plane of mine can Mach; Prince Qing's abilities are too weak to catch it!"
Xu Shou pointed to where the clutch should be, where there was a steel pipe.
Nan Jinping and Hua Ruoxi immediately placed their hands on it and channeled their inner energy into it.
Nan Jinping's already waning complexion became even more sallow, while Hua Ruoxi was slightly better, but her face was still pale.
Suddenly, a cold light pierced towards the back of Hua Ruoxi's neck!
"My lord!"
It was Kawashima Kakko who did it!
Hua Ruoxi never expected that, given her poor condition, she would be stabbed in the back of the heart after barely managing to dodge a fatal blow.
Kawashima Kakko, holding a dagger made of rib bone, twisted it forcefully and screamed:
"I'm not leaving! I'm about to become Emperor Empress! You're all traitors!"
Chaos erupted as Prince Qing drew ever closer!
At the critical moment, Hua Ruoxi poured all her true energy into the car, glanced at Nan Jinping... and then flew out of the car with Kawashima Kakko in her arms.
Nan Jinping roared, "Go!!!"
With their energy replenished and two fewer people, the burden was greatly reduced.
Xu Shou floored the accelerator, and the engine spewed out a blazing tail flame. The entire car roared into the sky like a rocket, creating a sonic boom as it flew south.
Parts kept falling off the car body, and Xu Shou took out an oxygen mask from the armrest box and put it on.
Nan Jinping looked down... Hua Ruoxi was already in Prince Qing's grasp.
This person's physical body is only 20 meters long, which is indeed the weakest category.
Moreover, vultures are clumsy fliers, so they didn't waste their energy chasing the Mach aircraft.
