Chapter 278 Yagyuu Yukime
Upon seeing Yagyuu Ken die, everybody felt released. Such a powerful old man would be a great threat if he ran away from this.
However, someone seemed to be unsatisfied. Zhang Tieniu said, ”They are way too valuable. I thought we'd put up a good fight, but it ended so fast.”
Qin Haodong said, ”Isn't this the best result? Do you want to confront Yagyuu Ken on your own? I should've given you the opportunity.”
”It's alright, I cherish my life.”
Zhang Tieniu was a little scared. He even retracted his head. He was a smart fighter. For a powerhouse like Yagyuu Ken, even ten cultivators at Zhang Tieniu's level wouldn't be a good match.
The onlookers all laughed as Qin Haodong added, ”That was a successful fight for us. None of our people were injured. That's the result we wanted, so it's surely something we should be proud of.”
Everybody cheered. This had not been a thrilling fight for them, but Qin Haodong's words did make sense.
”Okay, everybody go back now. Each of you will get 10,000 yuan for wine tonight.”
Qin Haodong waved his hand as he spoke. He asked Zhang Tie Niu and Chen Fugui to take their fellows back. The Divine Mercenaries went back to Lin Momo and escorted Wang Rubing home.
Nalan Wushuang asked, ”Haodong, what should we do with this place?”
Now that this small valley was full of dead bodies, someone had to take care of them.
Qin Haodong said, ”Leave it to Xiaoxian. We don't have to bother about this.”
Many warriors from Nihon had come to the Celestial Empire, so it was a big affair. It was better that they hand the case to the related department.
”I can handle that for you, but considering the big favor I did you tonight, you'll have to pay me back someday.”
Hu Xiaoxian cast a coquettish glance at Qin Haodong and held his neck. Then, she kissed him on the cheek.
She ignored how embarrassed Qin Haodong was and whispered to him, ”My little man, tonight's not a good time for me to pay you back. I'll have to go to the national capital to report the big affair. You're always causing me trouble.”
Upon seeing Nalan Wushuang's and Qi Wan'er's enraged eyes, Qi Haodong refused hastily. ”It's fine. We'll leave you this place. I got to go now.”
After he said that, he fled from the scene, Nalan Wushuang and Qi Wan'er following behind him.
As she watched the view of Qin Haodong's escaping figure, Hu Xiaoxian giggled and murmured, ”Little man. What a playboy you are.”
She had already seen what Nalan Wushuang and Qi Wan'er felt for Qin Haodong. Thus, she intended to act intimately to declare her sovereignty over Qin Haodong.
After walking out of the valley, Nalan Wushuang and Qi Wan'er took Qin Haodong's arms and asked, ”Since when have you been hooking up with Hu Xiaoxian?”
Qin Haodong explained in embarrassment, ”Hooking up? Don't make it sound that nasty. We're just ordinary friends.”
”Ordinary friends? Since when do ordinary friends get so intimate?”
”If ordinary friends can do that, maybe we should do it too!”
The two girls said as they kissed his left and right cheek.
In the villa of the Yagyuus in Nihon, Yagyuu Shinji stayed up the whole night with the sword in his arms.
The next morning, the door opened and a young woman in a warrior suit came in. She was Yagyuu Shinji's daughter and Yagyuu Hirai's sister, Yagyuu Yukime.
Upon seeing his daughter come in, Yagyuu Shinji asked, ”Any news about the Great Senior?”
Yagyuu Yukime shook her head and said, ”Nothing at all. All of them are disconnected.”
A moment later, Yagyuu Shinji seemed to age by ten more years. He had sent nearly a hundred people to the Celestial Empire, but they were all disconnected now. He knew clearly what that meant.
Moments later, he murmured, ”How much hidden power does the Celestial Empire still have? How could they have swallowed a hundrend elite members of our family without even spitting out their bones?”
Yagyuu Yukime asked, ”Father, is it possible that the Celestial Empire has dispatched their elite warriors?”
Yagyuu Shinji shook his head and replied, ”That's highly unlikely. The Xuanyuan Pavilion in the Celestial Empire is indeed powerful, but they're running too many businesses. It's impossible for them to gather so many people to confront our troops.
Moreover, given the cultivation of the Great Senior, he would be able to escape even if the Celestial Empire sent the Supreme Power Realm powerhouse. It's so confusing. Why has he disappeared and left no trace?”
”What on earth is going on? Do I need to visit the Celestial Empire on my own? I don't believe that there are so many powerhouses in the Celestial Empire!”
Yagyuu Yukime spoke as a powerful aura came out of her. Apparently, she was a powerhouse at the ninth level of the Covert Power.
She was known as the most talented martial arts genius to be born in the Yagyuu family in 100 years. Yagyuu Hirai would never have been the successor if she wasn't a woman.
”No, you're not going there. Before our family's strength gets restored, the whole family shall never go to the Celestial Empire again!”
Yagyuu Shinji stopped Yagyuu Yukime immediately and said in confusion, ”We've lost half of our power now, so we can't suffer any more losses. We have to contract our power and keep the news in this family. Once it spreads, many other people will crave the rich resources of our family.”
