592: Chapter 592 Controlling Japan, controlling the Imperial Family, is that alright?

In the entire hall, only Tamamo-no-Mae felt a secret sense of relief in her heart.

Fortunately.

Fortunately, she had knelt quickly.

Fortunately, she had called him 'Master' so decisively.

Otherwise...

She subconsciously touched her neck, not daring to think further.

"Alright."

Ye Chen ignored everyone and walked toward Seimei Kangyue step by step.

"Next, it's your turn."

Seimei Kangyue knelt on the ground, watching Ye Chen approach step by step, the fear in his pupils growing more intense.

He wanted to stand up, to run away, to resist.

But his legs wouldn't obey him, shaking so much he couldn't stand up at all.

Ye Chen stood still in front of him, looking down at him from above.

"Come, I'll give you a chance to perform."

"Whatever trump cards you have left, use them all."

Seimei Kangyue's face turned the color of pig liver.

"Ye Chen, I'm telling you, behind me is..."

"The people of the Kunlun Ruins!"

"If you kill me, they won't let you off!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "Kunlun Ruins? You mean those people from the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates?"

Seimei Kangyue gritted his teeth.

"Exactly!"

"If you dare touch a single hair on my head, the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates will never let it go!"

"Ye Chen, although you are strong, can you alone oppose the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates?"

Originally...

He had the Empress prepare the three sacred treasures; first to release the Great Tengu, and second, by equipping the Great Tengu with the kusanagi-no-tsurugi, its combat power could double.

If that wasn't enough...

He would add the Magatama. That thing was useless to humans, but for the Hundred Ghosts, it held immense benefits.

That was...

Healing injuries, making one almost invincible.

But he never expected the Great Tengu to be defeated so quickly. Before the other two treasures could be used, it was already gone...

He was so unwilling!!!

Therefore,

He brought up the people of the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates.

After all...

Among those Five Gates, there was a power called the Emperors Gate, which belonged to Japan!

Ye Chen looked at him and spoke indifferently: "Are you finished?"

Seimei Kangyue was stunned, a trace of confusion flashing in his eyes.

He had brought up the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates, and the Emperors Gate, thinking Ye Chen would at least hesitate or show some wariness.

But this young man...

Had no expression on his face at all.

It was as if the words he just spoke were nothing more than a fart.

Seimei Kangyue swallowed hard and said through gritted teeth, "I... I'm finished."

Ye Chen nodded, the corners of his mouth curling up slightly.

"Since you're finished, then die."

Before his voice had even faded,

He raised his right foot and kicked Seimei Kangyue in the chest.

Boom!!!

Seimei Kangyue's body flew backward like a cannonball, his speed so fast it was dazzling.

He traced an arc in the air, crossed the hall, and slammed heavily into the wall inside the palace.

Boom!!!

The wall shattered with a roar.

His body was embedded in the wall, his limbs dangling, looking like a painting nailed to the wall...

Dead!

Until his death, he didn't understand why Ye Chen dared to kill him.

Until his death, he didn't understand why the reputation of the One Clan, Three Sects, Five Gates couldn't scare this young man from the Dragon Kingdom.

Until his death, he didn't understand...

How he, a dignified Onmyoji and the most powerful existence in Japan, could die on the wall of his own palace.

Everyone's mind went blank.

Hattori Senjun lay on the ground, looking at his master's corpse, the fear in his eyes reaching its peak.

To the point that,

Between his legs, a pool of liquid spread out, soaking the tatami mat.

A dignified God Ninja, the strongest ninja in Japan, was scared into wetting his pants.

Ye Chen turned around, his gaze falling on Wasunoko Ruozhi.

"Next, it's your turn."

Wasunoko Ruozhi's body suddenly stiffened, a chill rushing from the soles of her feet straight to the top of her head.

The next second,

Thud!

She knelt down.

"Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye, spare my life!"

"This Empress... no, I... I am willing to be your beast of burden, willing to become your slave, I beg you to spare my life!"

Her forehead slammed heavily onto the ground, once, twice, three times...

Each strike made a thumping sound, and blood soon seeped from her forehead.

The ministers standing on both sides watched their Empress kneeling on the ground, kowtowing and begging for mercy, their faces filled with humiliation and fear.

But not one person dared to step forward.

No one dared to say a single word.

In fact...

They all followed suit and knelt down one by one.

Ye Chen looked down at the kneeling Wasunoko Ruozhi, his expression blank.

"Don't. You'd better not become my slave. You'd better just stop living!"

"After all, having an Empress who used to be an actress as my slave would sound too bad if word got out."

Ye Chen's expression turned strange.

Wasunoko Ruozhi jerked her head up, her eyes filled with terror.

"No... please don't..."

"I can be your dog! I can offer all three sacred treasures to you! I can give you anything!"

"I beg you, spare my life!"

As she spoke,

She scrambled to the tray nearby and held up the kusanagi-no-tsurugi, the yata no kagami, and the yasakani no magatama with both hands.

Then,

She raised them above her head, presenting them to Ye Chen while her entire body trembled.

"Mr. Ye, these are the three sacred treasures!"

"The kusanagi-no-tsurugi! The yata no kagami! The yasakani no magatama! They are all yours! Please spare my life!"

Ye Chen glanced down at the three items. "These things are trash to me."

He wasn't acting tough; he was stating a fact.

The kusanagi-no-tsurugi was sharp, but its design was too Japanese.

If he took it, wouldn't he become like a Japanese man?

That simply wouldn't do.

He was a dignified seven-foot man of the Dragon Kingdom; how could he hold a Japanese blade?

As for the mirror?

That was something only women and sissies would use. Why would a big man like him need to look in a mirror???

And the last piece, the Magatama, had a decent shape.

But...

Ye Chen had zero interest in it. Compared to this, he cared more about the treasure beneath Mount Fuji.

Hearing this, Wasunoko Ruozhi's face turned completely pale.

The three sacred treasures.

The ultimate treasures of the Japanese Imperial Family.

The symbol of the Emperor's power.

The vessel of Japan's national destiny for thousands of years.

Yet in Ye Chen's mouth, they were actually trash???

She was truly on the verge of tears.

But just then,

Tamamo-no-Mae, who had been standing behind Ye Chen, suddenly spoke up.

"Master~"

Her voice was delicate and cloyingly sweet.

Ye Chen tilted his head and glanced at her.

Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes were fixed on the three sacred treasures, her gaze full of longing.

"Master, that sword, that Magatama... they are useful to me!"

"I've been sealed for decades, and my power is not what it used to be. If I can get the kusanagi-no-tsurugi and the yasakani no magatama, I can recover most of my strength."

"By then, I'll be able to serve Master even better~"

As she spoke, she blinked her eyes, her incredibly exquisite face written all over with expectation.

The kusanagi-no-tsurugi could augment her power.

The yasakani no magatama could restore her power.

For the Hundred Ghosts, these were the best divine treasures...

Ye Chen looked at her expressionlessly. "Didn't you say you were a weak woman?"

Tamamo-no-Mae's face fell, and she looked pitifully aggrieved.

"Weak women need weapons too..."

"And I really am weak, I'm not lying to Master~"

"If Master doesn't believe me, I'll prove it to you tonight!"

Ye Chen was dazed. "How will you prove it?"

"In bed."

Tamamo-no-Mae blinked her eyes.

A blatant hint...

Ye Chen's mouth twitched. He couldn't be bothered to argue with her and said directly, "Tamamo-no-Mae, I have a matter for you to handle."

Tamamo-no-Mae blinked, her tone carrying a hint of testing: "Master, do you want me to... warm the bed?"

Ye Chen's mouth twitched again as he looked at her expressionlessly.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll stuff you back where you belong."

Tamamo-no-Mae quickly covered her mouth, but the slyness in her eyes couldn't be hidden.

Ye Chen took a deep breath, not bothering to settle scores with her. He reached out, took the kusanagi-no-tsurugi and the yasakani no magatama from the tray, and tossed them over.

"Catch."

Tamamo-no-Mae caught them steadily with both hands.

As the kusanagi-no-tsurugi entered her hand, the blade hummed!

The yasakani no magatama pressed against her palm, warm as jade!

She immediately seemed more spirited, her aura climbing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Thank you, Master!"

Tamamo-no-Mae smiled until her eyes curved like crescent moons.

Ye Chen looked at her and spoke indifferently: "I've given you the items, but you must handle the matter I've assigned."

Tamamo-no-Mae's eyes lit up. She leaned in, her voice sweet: "What is it, Master? I can do a 'buy one get one free' and really warm your bed for free!"

Ye Chen raised his hand and gave her a slap on the forehead.

Smack!

Tamamo-no-Mae felt the pain, covered her forehead, and took two steps back, looking at him pitifully.

"If you mention warming the bed one more time, I'll throw you out."

Tamamo-no-Mae pursed her lips and mumbled softly, "Fine, I won't mention it... then what does Master want me to do?"

Ye Chen put his hands in his pockets, his gaze sweeping over the kneeling Japanese people.

"Controlling Japan, controlling the Imperial Family, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Tamamo-no-Mae was stunned for a moment, then she smiled.

"Don't worry, Master. As for controlling an Imperial Family, I have experience."

"And quite a lot of experience, too."

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow. "Oh? So the legends are true?"

Tamamo-no-Mae nodded, a trace of reminiscence flashing in her eyes.

"I've lived for over a thousand years. What kind of Imperial Family haven't I seen?"

"The Dragon Kingdom's, Japan's, Goryeo's, Annam's..."

She counted on her fingers, and halfway through, she suddenly waved her hand.

"Anyway, I've lost count."

"Controlling an Imperial Family is as simple as eating and drinking for me."

"Master, please rest assured. I guarantee the task will be completed."
