Mao Jing suddenly said this, and my brows rose.
That was right. Over here, the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect was basically the imperial family's lackeys.
They were the force responsible for maintaining Japan's yin-yang order.
We had caused such a huge disturbance that it was bound to alert all of Japan.
When that happened, the pressure we faced would be enormous...
"If that's the case, then we really can't let our guard down. Once the imperial family gets involved, the local authorities will definitely intervene as well.
"Even if we fear no ordinary people, with checkpoints everywhere, leaving Japan will become extremely difficult..."
"Damn, is it really that troublesome?"
Eldest Senior Brother spoke up.
Mao Jing immediately nodded.
"Yes, it is that troublesome. But that's the worst-case scenario.
"We'll have to wait until we leave the deep mountains of Yamakita Town and contact our liaison in the outside world before we can determine the real situation."
After Mao Jing finished his analysis, no one looked too good.
Still, our feet never stopped as we hurried forward.
A foggy forest lay ahead.
There was an array here. We had been trapped in it before.
But now that we had a local like Aoi Yui with us, crossing this foggy forest became much easier.
After continuously climbing over mountains and ridges, we reached the outskirts of the Yamakita Town forest at around four in the morning.
At that moment, Aoi Yui said, "Special Envoy, Yamakita Town is ahead. Once we pass through there, we'll be out of the mountains."
"Good. Keep moving!"
After saying that, I took out my phone, only to find that the signal seemed to be blocked here. There was no reception.
As we continued forward, Eldest Senior Brother suddenly spoke.
"Stop. There are people ahead!"
People?
Everyone's hearts tightened.
