Rebirth of Devouring Dragon Emperor

Chapter 570 Tragedy
"I am the owner of the shrine, and I have legal documents to prove it!"

The middle-aged man said in horror: "Even if you are a cultivator, you can't do anything reckless in front of everyone. Let me go!"

Chu Xian sneered, "How dare you, a common person with a rat-like face, claim to own a shrine? And you can mobilize a large number of ninjas and troops? Tell the truth quickly, and maybe I can let you go."

The middle-aged man did not dare to shout, he knew the temper of the cultivators very well. If he insisted on dying without telling anyone, he might have a chance of saving his life. But if he caused a commotion, the two cultivators in front of him would surely kill him before leaving.

"My Lords, I really don't know anything. My family is just responsible for taking care of this shrine. I am just an insignificant ordinary person!"

Ye Qing shook his head slightly and said calmly: "As a mortal without any awareness, I can only say that you deserve bad luck."

After saying that, he flicked his hand gently.

In an instant, the middle-aged man's entire body turned into dust.

The bright sunlight shone on a faint shadow, and the shadow let out a silent scream. Before it turned into ashes, Ye Qing reached out and grasped a small ball of memory with a slightly shiny glow.

Then, he rubbed his fingers lightly, and the memory disappeared in an instant.

This is the "soul-stealing" technique that Ye Qing learned in the Central Star Region. This technique is extremely dangerous and can easily backfire. Anyone whose memories during their lifetime are taken away by this technique will not be reincarnated after death and will completely disappear between heaven and earth.

In the central star region, anyone who heard someone used this technique would be attacked by all the cultivators and their sect or country would be destroyed.

The reason why Ye Qing was hunted down by many top masters was because he used the "soul-stealing" technique.

"I know the whereabouts of the shrine's owner." He said calmly at this time.

Chu Xian's pretty face suddenly showed excitement. Following her master to plunder the Japanese artifacts made her feel very proud. After all, she was bringing glory to the country, right?
There were a lot of tourists in the shrine, and Ye Qing was killing people and searching their souls in a well-lit place. Even if he didn't make any noise, he was seen by many Japanese.

Suddenly, the screams of some timid people caused a riot.

“Murder!!!”

"A practitioner killed someone in public. Where are the police?"

"Damn, this is crazy! Practitioners are killing people in the shrine!"

"Run away quickly!"

"Don't block the way! Escape is more important!"

The first level of information transmission described Ye Qing as a crazy and murderous cultivator, which immediately caused a bigger and more serious riot.

At this time, at least 30 to 50,000 people poured into the Asakusa Shrine. Everyone was in danger and wanted to escape from the shrine immediately.

People were crowding and pushing each other, some were even so frightened that they stepped on other people’s heads and jumped around!
Although the gate of the shrine is not small, it cannot accommodate the huge number of people passing through in a short period of time, which naturally caused a serious stampede!

Countless people were calling for help, countless people were crying, and countless people were desperately attacking the blocked gate - in fact, they were attacking his Japanese compatriots.

In despair, it is easy to develop self-destructive emotions. Logically speaking, people in all regions of the world can generally control these emotions well.

But the Japanese were an exception. Seeing that they could not escape, several of them set fire to the shrine.

"The cultivator wants to massacre us, so let's die together with him!"

The Japanese who set the fire roared madly.

Seeing the elderly and children being attacked and engulfed by the fire, Chu Xian was kind-hearted and felt a little sorry for them. But she herself had no ability to help, and she didn't dare to ask Ye Qing for help.

She was even certain that if she dared to make this request, Ye Qing would definitely reject her - from ancient times to the present, there has been no rule for servants to order their masters around.

"It is the will of heaven. This is their fate. Just like the invasion of China that these ordinary people once carried out, they are gone."

Ye Qing's voice came faintly, and he was already walking away.

Chu Xian's heart trembled. It turned out that these people were not even ants in the eyes of their master. If he wasted his master's time for this, he would be really stupid!

She hurried to catch up without looking back.

The Asakusa Shrine arson tragedy was the largest man-made tragedy in Japan in recent years. According to subsequent statistics, at least 8000 people died in the incident and more than 2 people were left with irreversible injuries.

The entire shrine was burned down by the fire, the thousand-year-old monument was destroyed, and the remains of the victims could not even be identified.

Due to their ineffective rescue efforts, ten firefighters were forced to take to the streets under social pressure and committed suicide in public.

This incident, even in the context of the whole world, is a top-level horrific tragedy. The Japanese people are outraged by this and vowed to find the culprit at all costs.

In fact, before the shrine tragedy was over, a mobile phone video had become a huge hit on the Japanese Internet.

Today, its popularity is comparable to that of the shrine fire.

Because the culprit of this tragedy appeared in that video - Ye Qing.

The Japanese people have a very strange way of thinking. They will not pursue the issue of the arsonists, but vow to find Ye Qing who caused the tragedy, avenge the thousand-year-old shrine and the countless victims, and bring justice to the Japanese society.

In that video, anyone with a discerning eye could see that the culprit, Ye Qing, was a cultivator.

As a result, ninjas and Onmyojis from all over Japan volunteered to fight, wanting to capture Ye Qing alone in order to become famous.

Soon, another piece of gossip appeared on the Internet, indicating that the culprit Ye Qing was not a Japanese, but a Chinese who came here for vacation!

All of a sudden, the people of Japan became furious, especially the ordinary Japanese. They were like they were given a shot of chicken blood. They became excited and organized various parades and went to various departments of Japan to petition: to avenge the victims and to launch another invasion of China!
Shocking news always spreads the fastest.

When the Chinese people learned about the Japanese tragedy, especially when the so-called "culprit" was one of their own, they were even more excited than the Japanese themselves. It was like the Spring Festival, and many people risked being fined and set off fireworks in the city to celebrate.

As the largest forum for exchanges between China and Japan, the usual style is based on the principle of peaceful communication. Anyone who stirs up trouble will definitely be attacked by the vast majority of people.

But now the style of painting has suddenly changed.

The daily conversations on the forum are even more lively and hilarious.

"I heard that you are going to launch a war of aggression against China?"

"If you don't hand over the murderer, we will seek justice for the 8000 victims!"

"Japanese pirate, you are so uneducated. He is obviously a hero!"

"You Chinese people deserve to die. We are going to launch another war of aggression against China. The whole world will support us!"

"Come on, those who don't come are your grandchildren!"
