558: Chapter 558 Arrival in Japan!

Elder Shi stood frozen on the spot.

"Bringing... bringing someone back from the dead?"

"Does a technique to bring back the dead truly exist in this world?"

Yan Huifeng smiled. "I didn't believe it either, but it's happened more than once. Previously, there was a girl with cancer whom he pulled back from the brink of death, even curing her cancer entirely."

Shock!

Absolute shock!

Sitting opposite him, Elder Shi's expression shifted uncontrollably.

He had lived for most of a lifetime and seen far too many partings of life and death, as well as many so-called miraculous divine doctors.

But something like bringing back the dead was something he had only heard of in legends.

That was a method of defying heaven to change fate, the ability to snatch people from the hands of the King of Hell.

Throughout history, those capable of such a feat were few and far between.

No.

It should be said that they simply didn't exist.

Even the legendary Hua Tuo didn't possess such terrifying ability!

However, he knew Yan Huifeng; the man would never lie.

Elder Shi took a deep breath, trying his best to calm himself down. "Is the news reliable?"

"Reliable."

Yan Huifeng said each word with emphasis.

"Hundreds of pairs of eyes in the Wang Family saw it with their own eyes. Ye Chen applied the needles himself, and with nine needles, he snatched the person back from the King of Hell."

"That Yan Lingling's medical records are still being studied in depth by the top elites of the medical world today."

Elder Shi fell silent.

After a long while, he finally spoke slowly, "If that is truly the case, then this young man's medical skills have reached an inconceivable level."

"That's why I said we'll know after waiting a bit."

Yan Huifeng smiled, a smile carrying a hint of relief.

Elder Shi looked at him, looking as if he wanted to say something but hesitated.

Yan Huifeng waved his hand. "Elder Shi, rest assured, I know what I'm doing."

Elder Shi sighed and said no more.

Yan Huifeng stood up, walked to the window, and pushed it open.

"Certain people in the Kunlun Ruins..."

He murmured to himself, a complex light flashing in his eyes.

"They thought the vein-eroding poison could trap me to death, but they never would have imagined..."

"That the Heavens would send me a Ye Chen."

Elder Shi stood up, walked behind him, and said in a low voice, "Patriarch, if that kid really can cure you, then the Yan Family... it's time for us to make a move."

Yan Huifeng smiled without saying a word.

...

Nightfall.

Tokyo, Japan.

As the plane landed smoothly, the lights of the airport terminal merged into a single stretch in the night, like a glowing river.

Ye Chen and Yan Qingwu stepped out of the cabin, met by a gust of damp sea breeze.

The two walked along the jet bridge toward the immigration hall, neither speaking a word along the way.

Soon.

Entry, baggage claim, customs.

Everything went smoothly.

When the two walked out of the terminal, a black Alphard was already waiting at the entrance.

A man in his early thirties stood by the car.

Upon seeing Yan Qingwu, the man immediately came forward and bowed slightly. "Miss Yan, my name is Li Mu, the manager of the branch office. You've had a long journey."

Yan Qingwu nodded.

Li Mu pulled open the side door, and Ye Chen and the other boarded the car.

As the car began to drive slowly.

Yan Qingwu leaned against the backrest and asked directly, "Have the people been found?"

Gripping the steering wheel, Li Mu shook his head.

"Not yet."

Yan Qingwu's brow furrowed slightly.

Li Mu glanced at her through the rearview mirror and continued, "However, it's certain that the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates haven't found them either."

Yan Qingwu's brow relaxed a little.

Not being found was good news.

At least it meant those three were still alive and the key hadn't fallen into anyone's hands.

Leaning by the car window, Ye Chen asked indifferently, "Where was the last trace of them?"

Li Mu replied, "A ferry. They took a ferry from Busan, entered through Fukuoka, and after that, nothing."

"They vanished after entering?" Yan Qingwu pressed.

"It's as if they evaporated from the face of the earth."

Li Mu's voice carried a hint of helplessness.

"Our intelligence network is laid out very densely in Fukuoka."

"We have people watching the airport, stations, ports, and major intersections, but after those three got off the ferry, they never appeared on any surveillance footage again."

Ye Chen pondered for a moment. "Did they contact anyone?"

Li Mu shook his head. "We're still checking, but there are no clues so far."

Ye Chen's eyes flickered slightly.

The three people from the Ancient Tomb Sect had fled all the way from the Kunlun Ruins to Japan, dodging the pursuit of the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates, only to completely disappear after landing in Fukuoka.

Either they had a special method of hiding, or someone was helping them.

Whichever it was, it wasn't good news.

Ye Chen looked out the window and suddenly spoke, "Fukuoka—whose territory is it?"

Li Mu was taken aback for a second before reacting.

"The Yamaguchi-gumi."

"Yamaguchi-gumi?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "Is it the same Yamaguchi-gumi from the novels I used to read?"

Li Mu nodded.

"Pretty much. It's equivalent to Japan's largest underground organization."

"And Fukuoka is within the Yamaguchi-gumi's sphere of influence. The docks, ports, and logistics there are basically all under their control."

Ye Chen became thoughtful and didn't ask further.

Yan Qingwu looked at Ye Chen, just about to speak...

Suddenly!

Screech—!

The piercing sound of brakes came from behind.

Immediately after.

A black Toyota suddenly swerved out from the side lane, its front cutting across and blocking the Alphard directly.

Li Mu's expression changed, and he slammed the brakes to the floor.

Screech—!

The tires dragged two scorched black marks on the ground, and the car body pitched forward violently, coming to a halt barely half a meter away from that Coaster.

A layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Mu's forehead.

Yan Qingwu's body lurched forward even more violently, held back by the seatbelt before snapping back into the seat.

She looked up, a cold light flashing in her eyes.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The doors of the Coaster opened, and several men in black suits jumped out.

They all had uniform crew cuts and stood with their backs perfectly straight.

Leading them was a Middle-aged Man in his forties. A scar ran from his brow bone all the way to his jaw, looking exceptionally hideous under the streetlights.

He strode to the driver's side of the Alphard and raised his hand to knock three times on the window.

Knock, knock, knock.

Li Mu took a deep breath and rolled down the window.

Scarface looked down at him, pulled a black ID from his pocket, flashed it in front of Li Mu, and said in stiff Japanese, "Japanese Special Investigation Task Force. Get out immediately!"

Li Mu's face darkened instantly. Instead of opening the door, he countered in fluent Japanese, "We are Dragon Country citizens who entered legally. May I ask what wrong we have committed?"

Scarface narrowed his eyes and sneered.

"What wrong?"

"You are suspected of harboring international fugitives!"

"Now, have the person named Ye Chen get out immediately."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere inside the car became abruptly tense.

Yan Qingwu's brow snapped together, and her hand moved toward the holster at her waist.

That was something Li Mu had arranged beforehand when they got into the car.

The bullets inside were specifically designed for Cultivators.

Although both Ye Chen and she were Cultivators and didn't really need such things, they were there just in case.

But in the next second.

Ye Chen reached out and pressed down on her wrist, shaking his head.

"Don't be in a hurry."

He pushed open the car door and stepped out unhurriedly.

Then.

With his hands in his pockets, he stood before Scarface and spoke calmly.

"I am Ye Chen."

"Are you all so eager to claim credit and curry favor with your USA daddy?"

Everyone: "???"

Good heavens!

That's a real low blow...

A flash of anger crossed Scarface's eyes.

"Mr. Ye Chen, you are suspected of being involved in an international criminal case. Please come with us to assist in the investigation."

"An international criminal case?" Ye Chen tilted his head. "What case? How come I didn't know about it?"

Scarface said coldly, "The case of the Manluodi Family and the Gates Family!"

"Oh!"

Ye Chen realized, then smiled at Yan Qingwu inside the car. "See, I guessed right. Even dogs aren't as loyal as these little Japanese."
