Chapter 71: The Enemies Are Truly Numerous

Li Feng had no choice but to spread the word on the streets, inviting all sorts of influential figures to participate in this matter.

These matters naturally could not be hidden from the Revival Society, but they had no way to participate in this affair.

The Chen family is considered a top-tier major family in Shanghai, and this is because behind their family stands one of the four great tycoons of the world, the Chen family.

The Chen family has connections above and below; the four great tycoons of Shanghai—Huang Rongjin, Du Yue Province, Zhang Wanlin, and Wang Yaqiao—all have to give his family face.

Who are the people in the Revival Society? Speaking of the Chen family, they are their own people.

However, Zhang Sheng's background is also not simple; after all, he is an outstanding disciple of the Maoshan sect in the cultivation world, and they dare not provoke him either.

Therefore, Ximen Lang received instructions, and he immediately brought fine wine and food to pay a visit to Mitaro.

Inside the villa, after three rounds of drinks, Ximen Lang said as if he were drunk: "Old brother, I recently received a piece of news."

"Originally, the higher-ups wanted to seal off the news, but your little brother is concerned about you, old brother, so I specifically pleaded for you and found out some news related to Daoist Zhang."

Mitaro beamed with joy and said: "Speak quickly, little brother Ximen. If it is useful, I owe you a favor."

Ximen Lang hurriedly said: "It is that there is a young master in Shanghai who is looking for people, planning to make a move against Daoist Zhang."

"Moreover, that young master also opened a medicinal herb company and is thinking of joining forces with the Japanese invaders to deal with Daoist Zhang's company."

Mitaro was furious and shouted: "How bold! You tell me where this person is, and I will go kill him!"

Ximen Lang hurriedly stopped him and said: "Old brother, don't be impulsive. This person has money and power at home; if you make the first move, you are giving them a handle."

Mitaro snorted coldly and said: "When the time comes, whoever is blind enough to come over, I will chop them all down!"

Ximen Lang hurriedly gave a thumbs up and said: "Old brother is mighty!"

Mitaro said proudly: "Hehehe, that is all because I know how to adapt to circumstances. Otherwise, I would have died long ago."

Ximen Lang asked: "Old brother, your strength is comparable to a Demon King; why not take in a few subordinates to handle things?"

Mitaro hurriedly waved his hand and said: "How would I dare to act on my own authority."

Ximen Lang probed: "Then find an opportunity to ask Daoist Zhang?"

Mitaro thought about the scene of the Demon King being surrounded by followers and laughed: "Hahaha, good suggestion!"

The two once again put their arms around each other's shoulders, chatting very happily.

Speaking of which, while An You was still wandering around the concessions and Abe Hiroshige was searching everywhere for An You, Takanashi Anko already knew what Chen Yuhe had done.

She felt this was an opportunity, and she immediately contacted her master, Fukada Miko.

The two met through a puppet they controlled.

Inside a quiet room, Takanashi Anko said: "Master, that Chen Yuhe is planning to make a move against Zhang Sheng."

"However, I think he will fail; after all, with Zhang Sheng's strength, ordinary people are no longer his match."

Fukada Miko nodded and said: "Indeed, there is also a True Person guarding behind him."

Takanashi Anko smiled and said: "But I think this is a very good opportunity."

"Let Chen Yuhe come forward, while we make a move in the shadows to ambush and kill Zhang Sheng."

Fukada Miko was somewhat pleasantly surprised: "What is the detailed plan?"

Takanashi Anko said: "When Chen Yuhe makes a move against Zhang Sheng, I will extract the time and location of the action."

"Our people will gather temporarily and wait until Chen Yuhe is about to act before we take action."

"This way, it will not attract the attention of Zhang Sheng and the forces behind him."

Fukada Miko nodded very satisfied: "Good, when the time comes, I will personally lead people to support you."

Inside a building on the street near Zhang Sheng's villa, a man with a relatively short stature was using binoculars to check the situation.

A man with a serious expression asked: "Takeda, is there any situation with the target?"

Takeda replied: "It is the people from the Revival Society who came to the door and had a drink with the target's subordinates."

Yamanaka nodded and said: "So that's how it is."

"Then we will continue to watch, find out the target's plan, and then let the special agent team attack!"

"Yes!"

This place is exactly the two special agents of the Nancheng Agency; the Nancheng Agency received a top-secret order from the new commander, which is to assassinate Zhang Sheng.

The new commander does not trust the Yin-Yang Bureau and the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect very much; he intends to use the special agent agency to assassinate Zhang Sheng.

Because according to the analysis of a large amount of data, thermal weapons can still cause damage to cultivators.

Many great demons in the Japanese invaders' homeland died under cannons.

Of course, thermal weapons are only very advantageous when dealing with the physical body; they are very powerless when facing souls.

A soul is a pile of charged particles; after a person dies, the body's functions stop working, and these charged particles leave the human body and enter the air. (Made up)

Among these charged particles, a portion is separated from the brain, storing the person's memories.

Those particles with strong signals will continue to imitate the previous operations within the brain.

This will stimulate other charged particles, causing those charged particles that should have dissipated to continue working, forming a ghost!

Without the shackles of the human body, the soul is easier to absorb special particles in the air.

These special particles will extend the lifespan of these charged particles, allowing them to continue to survive and constantly grow stronger.

These special particles are what is known as Yin Qi.

Not only that, if someone has just died, their charged particles leave the body and can also be absorbed by a ghost.

But absorbing too many such charged particles will cause the ghost to gradually lose its sense of self.

Because after those charged particles fuse, it gains some scattered memories belonging to other people.

Therefore, if you want to deal with a ghost, you must use particle weapons to knock out the charged particles inside the ghost.

Don't look at the fact that ghosts are invisible; that is only because they are invisible to the human eye, but in places where the magnetic field is chaotic, people will occasionally see the appearance of a ghost. (All of the above is made up)

This is the conclusion that the Japanese invaders' scientists have studied for a long time.

Therefore, the new commander feels that to deal with a cultivator, there is no need to use a cultivator; machine guns and cannons will suffice.

Zhang Sheng was obsessed with cultivation, turning a deaf ear to the world outside his window, and was still unaware of how many people had set their sights on him.

This time, he had practiced the Alliance Might Scripture, his magic power had grown exponentially, and now he could even fly on a sword; if he waited until he practiced the Alliance Might Scripture to perfection and reached the third register conferral, he would surely possess the strength of his several senior brothers.

Therefore, ever since he returned last time, he had made up his mind to focus on cultivation.

After all, the Age of Dharma Decline was approaching, and he had to cultivate and attain the Dao early; perhaps he could ascend to the Immortal Realm and follow the immortals to see a different world.

It was precisely because of this plan that he entrusted the loyal Mitaro with important tasks.

Perhaps because he had infused a strand of magic power into Mitaro's body, every time Mitaro came out of the Mountain and River Map, he felt that Mitaro had become a bit stronger.

Of course, Mitaro becoming stronger was beneficial to him; it would be best if Mitaro handled everything so he could cultivate in peace.

In the evening, Mitaro came to pay his respects, and Zhang Sheng pointed at the Mountain and River Map and said, "From now on, you may enter and exit the Mountain and River Map as you please."

Mitaro hurriedly thanked him, then added, "My Lord, your subordinate was thinking, should I find some more hands to help?"

Zhang Sheng asked in confusion, "What, you, a demon, cannot handle it?"

Mitaro hurriedly patted his chest and said, "Of course your subordinate can handle it! It is just that as a single demon, there are times when I am spread too thin, and I am worried about delaying your cultivation, My Lord."

Zhang Sheng nodded slightly and said, "Mitaro, what you say makes sense. You may decide on this matter yourself."

Mitaro was overjoyed and hurriedly cupped his hands in a salute, saying, "Rest assured, My Lord, I will certainly handle it properly."

Zhang Sheng thought that since Mitaro wanted to recruit people, he couldn't go empty-handed, could he?

He immediately exchanged for ten sets of copper armor worth one hundred merit points each, imprinted with the Protective Divine Incantation, and ten Seven-Star Precious Swords worth one hundred merit points each.

He then exchanged for a Universe Bag worth five hundred merit points and handed everything to Mitaro, saying, "Take these as equipment for recruiting subordinates; you decide how to distribute them."

Mitaro was overjoyed, and a plan immediately formed in his mind.

After returning to the Mountain and River Map, he shouted excitedly, "Hahaha, I am going to be a Demon King too!"

The next morning, Mitaro called Ximen Lang.

A moment later, Ximen Lang arrived at the villa.

Mitaro said immediately, "Brother Ximen, the Lord has already agreed to let me recruit subordinates.

But since I cannot leave right now, this matter will have to trouble you."

Ximen Lang asked, "Brother, what are your requirements for the candidates?"

Mitaro said immediately, "Naturally, they must be loyal! Whether they are strong or not is not an issue; the Lord has plenty of magic treasures. You just go ahead and find people."

Ximen Lang dared not refuse, and he left without stopping, having been at the villa for less than two minutes.

As soon as Ximen Lang left, Mitaro immediately went back to find Zhang Sheng.

Mitaro lowered his head and said cautiously, "My Lord, it is not that I want to disturb you, but I am worried about recruiting subordinates with bad intentions, so I would like to ask you to bestow a treasure that can distinguish between the loyal and the treacherous."

Zhang Sheng thought for a moment, nodded, and said, "Hmm, you have considered this well. Wait a moment, let me see."

Subsequently, Zhang Sheng found a magic treasure similar to a Demon-Reflecting Mirror.

One of the magic treasures was very practical.

"Xiezhi Divine Light Mirror: Possesses a trace of the Xiezhi's pressure, capable of discerning right from wrong and loyalty from treachery in all things. Those harboring evil intentions will inevitably be shaken by the divine beast's pressure and reveal their true form."

Zhang Sheng secretly thought that with this magic treasure, it would be difficult for anyone with evil intentions to hide by his side.

He did not hesitate to spend five thousand merit points to exchange for this Xiezhi Divine Light Mirror.

Zhang Sheng took out the Divine Light Mirror and handed it to Mitaro, saying, "Anyone, or any ghost or monster, as long as they harbor evil intentions, will inevitably be exposed under this Xiezhi Divine Light Mirror."

Mitaro's eyes lit up, and he secretly thought that his Lord was indeed wealthy to possess such a magic treasure.

He excitedly took the Divine Light Mirror and left.

On the other side, Ximen Lang sent news to his friends in the ghost and monster world.

"The Kappa under Daoist Zhang intends to recruit subordinates; those interested can go and try."

The reputation of the Kappa Mitaro had already spread throughout the ghost and monster world.

Every time the Japanese pirates and local cultivators fought, the ghost and monster world would pay attention to the developments.

Naturally, they knew that Zhang Sheng had a Kappa under his command.

"I heard that the Kappa has several hundred years of magic power, and he isn't even a Demon King yet."

"So what? Who told his master to be so powerful!"

"That's for sure, I've seen him before, he has two top-tier magic treasures on him!"

This made the crowd of ghosts and monsters extremely envious.

"Recently, the Japanese pirate mages have been catching ghosts and monsters to make them into Shikigami; if you ask me, being a foot soldier for one of our own is much kinder than being with outsiders."

"These days are getting harder and harder; I intend to go and try."

"Yes, I had clansmen killed by the Japanese pirates, so I will go and try my luck too."
