Jackie Chan Adventures: I, the Holy Lord's Brother!

Chapter 10 General Ika
The Ten Masks is the fourth chapter of Jackie Chan's Adventures, known as the Mask Chapter.

Tara, the commander-in-chief of the Shadow Empire, was accidentally resurrected by Daolong, and began to order Afu and the other three to search for the nine masks around the world.

Shentian was not sure whether Tara was sealed during this period, but Shentian guessed that she had been sealed a long time ago.

Because during the Demon Festival, Shentian vaguely sensed the breath of the shadow soldiers in the Holy Lord's palace.

Although the aura was fleeting, it was indeed the aura of the Shadow Kingdom.

It makes sense. Without the help of the shadow soldiers, the Holy Lord would not have been able to establish a kingdom so quickly after leaving Pangu Hell for the first time.

At this moment, Shen Tian used a magic spell to transform into a human being and walked through the streets and alleys.

Bogang's management of the territory is quite lax. As long as he can eat normally, he will not have any desire for humans.

Therefore, under the rule of the eight demons, Bogang's territory is definitely the safest.

This can be clearly seen from the magnificent buildings in front of us. The slaves in front of us not only built many buildings, but also developed various businesses.

In the Holy Lord's territory, it is absolutely impossible for this to happen given the Holy Lord's dictatorial character.

As for why Shentian appeared here, it was naturally because he had inquired about the information about the mask.

Walking into a large attic, Shentian found a place to sit down casually.

Soon after, a slave dressed in coarse linen and a small sack came forward with a smile and said, "Sir, what would you like to eat?"

"Whatever special dishes you have here, give me one portion." Shentian picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup of tea.

"Okay, then do you have any dietary restrictions? If not, we can just start cooking."

"No."

"Okay, wait a moment!"

Xiao Si agreed and stepped back with his body hunched.

Shentian picked up the teacup and took a sip. The bitterness of the tea quickly spread in his mouth.

I don’t know if it’s because the quality of the tea is poor, but after the strong bitterness, Shentian didn’t wait for the sweetness of the tea, so he frowned and put down the teacup.

Just then, the conversation between the two men who were eating next to him reached his ears:

"Tian Sang, have you heard? Someone died again in the brothel district. It seems like it was done by an evil spirit again!"

"Are there really evil spirits?"

"Of course it's true. The bodies are still lying on the street and no one dares to collect them."

"You're crazy! If you don't collect the bodies now, what if the monarch parades them through the streets? Wouldn't that punish you?"

"What can we do? That evil ghost is nowhere to be found and has already killed more than a dozen people. If we go to collect the bodies, we will definitely attract the evil ghost. Do you dare?"

"I-I dare not." The man shook his head.

Hearing this, Shentian couldn't help but ask the two, "Can the evil spirits you're talking about travel in the dark?"

"Yes, someone saw that evil spirit wearing heavy samurai armor and a mask on his face, like a mummy."

The man said with lingering fear: "It's a pity that a few people who claimed to be wizards went to subdue the evil spirits, but they all died the next day. If this continues, we will be in trouble."

Upon hearing this, Shentian stopped talking.

The evil ghost these two people were talking about should be one of the nine masks. I think someone must have put on this mask accidentally.

And one mask naturally cannot be a match for Bo Gang, so this mask can only be hidden, killing people while looking for other masks.

"It turns out that some people are very efficient." Thinking that the mask would be found soon, Shentian couldn't help but sigh.

He came here because of the intelligence Shan Yuan had gathered overnight. Rumors of evil spirits were circulating here. Now it seemed that his trip was not in vain. Standing up, Shentian disappeared on the spot.

At the same time, a few thousand meters away.

On a street called Prostitute Street, Shentian's figure appeared.

Standing on the top of the tallest building, you can have a panoramic view of everything below.

This street is more prosperous, with red lanterns and burning candles, and scantily clad women standing in the windows on the second floor, selling "themselves" in a high-profile manner.

During this period in Japan, these women would have been called oiran.

The hazy atmosphere of the bright lights and the sexual atmosphere in the air together create the intoxication here.

If you accidentally fall into it, it will be difficult to get out, at least that's what Shentian thinks.

At this moment, the night sky is getting darker, the bright moon is covered by clouds, and there seems to be a faint chill accompanied by the sound of wind invading the body.

The moment this feeling appeared, Shentian suddenly looked in one direction as if he had discovered something.

In the thick darkness of the night, in a corner that no one noticed, a corpse seemed to be being dragged, little by little, into the dark alley.

"That arrives so fast!"

A gleam of light flashed in Shentian's eyes. He took a step forward, and his figure turned into several afterimages and disappeared into the darkness.

.........

After entering the so-called alley, Shen Tiancai discovered that it was not a real alley, but a passage constructed with magic, connecting the shadows and the real world.

Shentian passed through the passage and came directly to an unknown temple, which had not been cleaned all year round.

The ground was covered with dead leaves, and even the incense burner used for burning incense and worship was broken in two.

Looking up along the incense burner, a moss-covered stone statue was being enveloped by liquid black shadows.

And on the broad palm of the stone statue, a mummy wearing ancient armor was sitting there, staring at himself silently.

After seeing the mask on the other person's face clearly, Shentian blurted out: "General Ika?"

Ika was stunned and asked, "Who are you? You actually know my name."

"That's not important. What's important is that I need your strength," Shentian stared at Ika and said, "Let your servants serve me as their master!"

"Haha, it turns out you are another wizard who wants to steal the power of the kingdom. You are really difficult to deal with." Ika shook his head and jumped down from the stone statue in boredom.

Drawing the katana from his waist, Ika called out, "Come out, my warriors!"

buzzing-

The power of the Shadow Kingdom emerges.

The black shadow wrapped around the stone statue split into several parts as if it had life.

They slid across the ground unhindered and stopped at eight locations around Shentian.

Then, the shadow expanded into a circle,

Eight shadowy soldiers dressed like Ika slowly rose from the crowd, drew their katanas, and pointed them at Shentian.

"There are only eight shadow soldiers? It seems that without Tara's command, your strength has been reduced a lot." Shentian said, looking at the shadow soldiers.

Among the nine masks except Tara, Ika's warrior shadow soldier is recognized as the strongest, crushing the other eight masks in terms of strength and speed.

Mastering the Ika Mask will definitely be a great help to me in the future.
