1180 Major Measure (1/2)

Intense despair filled Ki Kitagawa's whole being as he saw the line of enemies at present. He had secretly sent some spies to investigate the Buddhist Sect in China. Although the gathered information was scant, it was very clear that China's Buddhist Sect truly had deep heritage and foundation with lots of experts at the helm.

And now, even these Eminent Monks of China's Buddhist Sect came to Japan. It was likely that not only would they bring him bad luck, they would also spell big trouble for the Joyous Palace. Coupled with another faction of cultivators from China who had come to Japan, wouldn't it mean that Japan would likely be turned upside down by these Daoists and Buddhists?

Ki Kitagawa drew in a deep breath. He shifted his vision to Tang Xiu and asked, ”Are you the one who can call the shots here?”

”That's correct.” Tang Xiu nodded. ”I'm the decision-maker here.”

”I don't know how you can change your appearance, but I can still determine that you're Tang Xiu,” said Ki Kitagawa. ”I never had deep enmity with neither you nor these Eminent Monks of China's Buddhist Sect since I've never been a true member of the Joyous Palace. Hence, I suppose the only possibility is that you want information from me. Am I correct?”

”Well, it seems my conjecture was spot on. You are indeed quite smart,” said Tang Xiu smilingly.

”Then we can have a good chat since what I said is correct.” Ki Kitagawa continued in a deep voice, ”I'll tell you everything I know as long as you preserve my life.”

”You know, you'll naturally tell everything about the Joyous Palace since you're a traitor to them.” Tang Xiu commented with a smile. ”It's a pity to you the status of my underling when she was in the Joyous Palace was much higher than yours, so I don't need anything pertaining to the Joyous Palace's situation.”

Ki Kitagawa's expression slightly changed and he replied with an ugly complexion, ”You wanna know about General Fukuda and the Gene Camp, then?”

”That's right,” replied Tang Xiu.

Ki Kitagawa took a deep breath and asked seriously, ”Then answer me a question. I'll tell you everything I know about General Fukuda and the Gene Camp as long as you answer it.”

”Do ask!” Tang Xiu nodded.

With flickering eyes, Kitagawa asked in a deep voice, ”You said your subordinate's status in the Joyous Palace was much higher than mine. I can believe in this one because there are many with higher positions than me like those Mistresses, and some mysterious experts I never knew about. However, I'd like to know the identity of this person first.”

”It's me!” An aquamarine figure flashed and appeared in the hall floating mid-air.

Faintly smiling and holding a rosary in her hand, Yuji came to Tang Xiu. She slightly leaned and raised up her head to report. ”I've sent some people to fully investigate some hidden networks of the Joyous Palace. You only need to command and I can take the men to destroy these hidden sites and then shift the blame to the Gene Camp.”

At this moment, another figure floated in from the corridor. It was the veiled Joyous Palace Saintess. Her intelligent eyes quickly landed on Kitagawa and lightly said, ”Boss doesn't mind letting you know some issues so that you can willingly cooperate with us, Kitagawa. We prepared and did our best to lead you to this place and arranged the encirclement in advance. Not even a fly can escape this place, so you had better tell everything you know.”

Tang Xiu watched Kitagawa, whose expression now changed dramatically. He smiled at him and said, ”You wanna know more, Kitagawa? If you do, I can satisfy your curiosity. But beware since the more you know, the closer your death will be, so you had better think about it clearly.

Kitagawa fell into silence for a long while before silently nodding. Then, he spoke, ”I'd like to put forward another request.”

”Don't go too far, Kitagawa,” interjected Kuwako coldly.

The man shot a look at Tang Xiu with an extremely solemn expression.

”Speak!” said Tang Xiu indifferently.

”Everyone I brought here must die,” said Kitagawa.

”You'll have it, but it won't be done now.” Tang Xiu nodded.

Kitagawa took a deep breath and said, ”Then do ask anything you want to know!”

”I need details on General Fukuda as well as the Gene Camp,” said Tang Xiu. ”Tell me everything you know about them. Do remember that the more you tell us, the bigger your chance to live is.”

The entire night was spent with Kitagawa telling everything he knew. Although it was unknown whether he told everything or not, the information he gave was enough for Tang Xiu.

Early in the morning.

The morning sky was filled with light rain and the dimly lit world seemed to be unwilling to wake up. Several dark clouds drifted from time to time as though indicating that heavy rain would soon pour tears down on the earth.

”Let's move!”

The killing aura emitted out by Blackface Buddha was particularly strong even though he was a monk.

Tang Xiu glanced at him and lightly said, ”Blackface Buddha, you need to restrain and control your killing intent if you want to be an Eminent Monk who reaches enlightenment. Only then will you be able to break through the barrier of your present realm. This campaign in Japan will likely make you reap more lives, but this is also a good chance to change your mental state and mood. I hope you can grasp this chance and break through the barrier earlier.”
