Under One Person: Dressed as Lü Liang, with vests all over

Chapter 186 Heading to the Northeast, a Chaotic Battle!

Night fell quietly, and all was still.

"Old Lu, do you think he's staying here to protect those Japanese, or to guard against them?"

Wang Ye raised his hand, pointed to Tang Ming who was guarding outside the dormitory building, and asked Lü Liang in a low voice.

"Of course it's the latter."

Lü Liang responded affirmatively.

He looked up and surveyed the dormitory building in front of him. The walls and windows were covered in dust, indicating that it had been abandoned for a long time and no one had lived there.

The Tang Clan arranged for Ishikawa Shin and his group to stay here, clearly indicating their dislike for these Japanese people.

If it weren't for the matter of the demon sword, they probably would have kicked the person out already.

"Old Lu, hurry up, there are people watching our dorm too," Wang Ye said.

"Don't worry, it won't be long," Lü Liang replied softly.

Speaking of dormitories, the places he and Wang Ye lived in were in better condition than those of the Japanese.

However, he and Wang were able to stay because they "benefited" from Tu Junfang's influence.

In the afternoon, Xu Xin asked Tu Junfang to help the disciples who had been lured out of their three corpses deal with the problem of the three corpses.

Tu Junfang readily agreed, since he hadn't yet convinced Tao Tao and was eager to stay at the Tang Sect for a few more days.

As a result, Lü Liang and Wang Ye were allowed to stay at the Tang Sect for an extra day.

"You find a way to lure Tang Ming away, and you don't need to worry about the rest. I'll sneak in by myself."

Lu Liang lowered his voice and made the arrangements methodically.

Upon hearing this, Wang Ye glanced at Lü Liang and asked, "There are four of them. Can you handle it alone, Lao Lü?"

Lü Liang nodded calmly.

He deliberately chose this time to act, and never intended to launch a full-scale attack.

All he wanted was the memory in Ishikawa Shin's mind.

……

Lu Liang precisely targeted the blind spot of the surveillance camera and used the "Wind-Embracing Step" to quickly arrive at the fourth floor where Ishikawa Shin and the others were staying.

Immediately afterwards...

"Possession!"

Lu Liang's pupils instantly turned pitch black, and the vision in his left eye changed accordingly.

With his special "penetrating" vision, he was able to identify the people living in each room.

He clearly remembered the introduction that Ishikawa Shin had given that afternoon: there were three people entering the country with Ishikawa Shin this time.

Among them, Ishikawa Shin's son, Ishikawa Ken, is tall and agile, and is said to be the most skilled swordsman in the Ishikawa family at present.

Ken Ishikawa's fiancée, Aiko Yagyu, has long black hair with bangs and a great figure.

There's also Ishikawa Shin's adopted daughter, Utara Ringo, who isn't tall but has a physique like a man, and has the highest talent among this group.

Using his "penetrating vision" ability, Lü Liang quickly located his target.

Ishikawa Shin happened to live in the dormitory room at the very end of the corridor.

In the penetrating "infrared" view, Lü Liang noticed that Ishikawa Shin's physique was quite similar to Zhao Fangxu's, with a large belly, looking as if he had neglected his cultivation.

Indeed, it was true; Lü Liang didn't spend much effort and successfully knocked him unconscious with his "blue hand."

Then...

Lu Liang continued to use his Blue Hand technique, searching Ishikawa Shin's mind for memories related to the demon sword.

Scenes of memory flashed quickly.

Soon, Lü Liang saw what he was looking for.

In the reception room of the Fish Dragon Society headquarters in Japan, Shin Ishikawa sat in the center.

To his left and right, Ishikawa Ken and Yagyu Aiko sat on either side, and beside them was a pink-haired figure that Lü Liang recognized—Qu Tong.

……

In the memory, Ishikawa Shin looked at Qu Tong with excitement, his voice trembling slightly:

"President Qu, are you serious? Is the Demon Blade really going to reappear?"

"Yes, it's in a cave near the Sky-Piercing Hole."

Qu Tong said casually, while playing with the dark green beads in her hand.

Upon hearing this, not only Ishikawa Shin, but also Ishikawa Ken and Yagyu Aiko could not hide their excitement, their faces flushed with excitement.

"I wonder where Chairman Qu got this information from?" Ishikawa Shin asked.

"That's not convenient to say." Qu Tong's lips curled slightly, her tone indifferent, with an air of unquestionable authority. "I can only guarantee that this information is credible."

As she spoke, the two beads collided with each other in Qu Tong's palm, making a crisp and pleasant sound.

She paused and continued:
"Chairman Ishikawa might as well go to the Tohoku region to investigate. However, I suggest that Chairman Ishikawa go there as soon as possible, otherwise, I cannot guarantee that there will be no changes."

Ishikawa Shin nodded thoughtfully.

"Thank you for informing me, Chairman Qu. This matter is of great importance, and I need to discuss it carefully with my family members."

At this point, Ishikawa Shin looked up at Qu Tong and asked solemnly:

"The information brought by Chairman Qu is extremely valuable. What reward would you like?"

"There's no rush." ​​Qu Tong smiled faintly, her eyes half-closed. "We can discuss this after Chairman Ishikawa finds the demon sword."

“Okay.” Ishikawa Shin nodded in agreement.

A brief silence fell over the room. After a moment, Qu Tong spoke again:
"President Ishikawa, I hope you won't tell anyone that I leaked this information to you."

"Is this so..."

A hint of doubt flashed across Ishikawa Shin's face, but he quickly realized what was happening and hurriedly replied:
"Since Chairman Qu has made a request, the Fish and Dragon Society will naturally fulfill it."

Qu Tong nodded, then said, "What if someone asks..."

Ishikawa Shin immediately responded tactfully:

“We have a member in the Fish Dragon Society named Jiro. His secret technique is to sense the location of objects through photos or portraits.”

"By the way, the secret technique is what you call superpower here."

"If anyone asks, I will tell them that Jiro told me the location of the cursed sword."

"can."

Qu Tong nodded in satisfaction, held the bead, and slowly stood up, a faint smile on her face.

"Then I wish Chairman Ishikawa all the best in achieving his goal soon."

"Thank you, Chairman Qu."

Ishikawa Shin stood up and bowed deeply to Qu Tong, and Ishikawa Ken and Yagyu Aiko followed suit.

Qu Tong walked to the door, then suddenly stopped, turned around and said:
"By the way, I suggest you visit the Tang Clan before you go to the Northeast."

"Tang Clan..." Ishikawa Shin hesitated for a moment, then asked in confusion, "Why?"

"Because I know that the Tang Clan had clashed with the Demon Blade and the Bihe Ren decades ago, and this experience is invaluable for finding and subduing the Demon Blade."

Qu Tong explained in a calm tone, her expression utterly unreadable.

Hearing Qu Tong's words, Ishikawa Shin pondered for a moment, nodded, and bowed again:

"Thank you for the reminder, President Qu. We will consider it carefully."

……

The memories continue to flash before my eyes:

As soon as Qu Tong left, Ishikawa Ken turned to Ishikawa Shin impatiently, his face full of doubt, and asked:
"Father, do you think that woman's information is reliable? If she has deceived us, then we will have made a wasted trip."

"Moreover, if this operation fails, we won't be able to use the same reason to enter the country again to look for the Demon Blade."

“Don’t worry, Ken, I think the information is highly credible,” Ishikawa Shin said slowly. “The intelligence organization she runs is very powerful.”

"Moreover, her description of Hirumaru was so accurate that she must have seen the knife."

Just then, Yagyu Aiko frowned slightly and spoke softly:
"Father, I have a question. Since the woman found Hirumaru, why didn't she take it herself instead of telling us? Is there really anyone in this world who can resist the immense temptation of a demon sword?"

“Don’t underestimate the Chinese.” Ishikawa Shin’s tone suddenly became serious, and his expression became solemn. “Although I’m reluctant to admit it, I can sense that those people in China are looking for the Demon Sword out of hatred, not because they covet its power.”

"The demon sword Hirumaru, which is revered as a sacred object by Higanbana, may not be so precious to the Chinese."

"After all, their long-standing culture contains many more magical and powerful forces."

Ishikawa Shin's words caused a brief silence in the room.

After a moment, Ken Ishikawa spoke again: "Father, I still feel that woman's intentions are not pure."

“We weren’t familiar with her, and I didn’t quite understand why she was willing to tell us all that, and even kindly told us to go to the Tang Clan for help after entering the country…”

“Ken, your concerns are valid.” Ishikawa Shin nodded in agreement.

There is an old Chinese saying: "When things are out of the ordinary, something sinister is sure to happen." She must have another purpose behind it.

"But even if there are traps, we have no choice but to go."

Ishikawa Shin's eyes gleamed with determination, and his tone was resolute: "Our family has been searching for the demon sword for far too long. This time, we must succeed."

"For the sake of the family!" he raised his voice and said in a deep voice.

"For the family!" Ishikawa Ken, Yagyu Aiko, and the others murmured in unison.

Lü Liang's consciousness withdrew from Ishikawa Shin's consciousness.

He thought to himself, "It really was Qu Tong who was behind this. I wonder how she found out the location of the demon sword."

"In addition, the reason why she specifically asked Ishikawa Shin to seek help from the Tang Sect is also worth pondering."

"Could she be using this incident to divert the company's attention from Yaoxing Society, and take the opportunity to make arrangements for Nathan Island?"

"Of course, it's also possible that they're targeting me."

"Since she knows the location of the Demon Blade, it's not impossible that she also knows I'm in the Tang Sect. This matter is likely a ploy to lure me to the Northeast. As for whether this is a diversionary tactic or a trap..."

Lu Liang glanced at the still unconscious Ishikawa Shin, then withdrew his hand, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

It doesn't matter what the reason is!

When the time comes for a real showdown, it remains to be seen who will emerge victorious.

Moreover, he really wanted to see that mysterious person who rescued Qu Tong again.

……

Back in his original dormitory, Lü Liang did not go to sleep immediately. Instead, he took out his communication ring and channeled Qi into one of the rings.

As soon as the call connected, Lü Liang asked directly, "Zhang Chulan, did you verify this with Xu Xin?"

"Yes, I asked him. What he said is the same as Bian Tong's confession that you showed me the other day, Brother Lü."

Zhang Chulan's voice was extremely low, sounding somewhat muffled, as if he had covered his communication ring with his hand.

Xu Xin said that Wugensheng's surname was indeed Feng, his name was Feng Yao, his wife died early, and he had a daughter.

Zhang Chulan paused for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Brother Lü, do you know anything else?"

“Some things are still uncertain. Let’s talk about it when we get to the Northeast.” Lü Liang replied casually, then immediately changed the subject, “By the way, Zhang Chulan, let Zhang Lingyu continue to accompany you when you go to the Northeast this time.”

"Hey? Brother Lü, aren't you going to the Northeast this time too? And didn't Master tell Junior Uncle to go with you?"

“I’m going to be on a secret mission this time, and it’s not convenient for him to be with me,” Lü Liang said.

Zhang Chulan nodded in understanding.

Given Junior Uncle's personality, even if he disguises himself, he'll easily be exposed, which is indeed inconvenient.

"Okay, Brother Lü, let's keep in touch when we get to Northeast China."

……

After ending the communication with Zhang Chulan, Lü Liang channeled Qi into another communication ring.

In an instant, the communication ring flashed red light.

Meanwhile, in the study of the president of the Truth-Seeking Society.

Huang Ning looked at the light emanating from the communication ring in his hand, and an uncontrollable excitement flashed in his eyes.

His chance to become one of the new Ten Elders has arrived.

This was the signal that Lü Liang left behind when he left the Seeking Truth Society last time.

Lu Liang told him that when he saw the red light flashing on the communication ring, it meant that the opportunity he wanted had arrived.

Next, he needed to send people to find out about the major events that had recently occurred in the world of supernatural beings.

Whether he can seize the opportunity next depends on his own abilities.

Without the slightest delay, Huang Ning quickly stood up, strode out of the study, and summoned the disciple in charge of intelligence work:

"Xiao Lin, be on your guard these next few days and keep an eye on what's going on outside. If you hear anything, be sure to report it to me immediately."

Upon hearing this, the disciple immediately perked up and excitedly said:

"President, what a coincidence! I happen to have some major news that I was planning to report to you first thing tomorrow morning!"

"Hmm? What news?" Huang Ning raised an eyebrow, his eyes full of anticipation.

"The Tang Clan in Sichuan changed its leader today," the disciple said.

"What happened to Tang Miaoxing?" Huang Ning asked, frowning.

"I don't know," the disciple replied. "Guild Master, the point isn't Tang Miaoxing, but that new sect leader."

"What's wrong with the new gatekeeper?" Huang Ning asked. "Is it that hot-tempered Zhang Wang, or that timid Tang Qiushan?"

"It can't be some newbie, can it?"

"No, none of those." The disciple's voice was extremely excited. "Not only is he not a newcomer, but he's also an old hand, a veteran."

Huang Ning was genuinely surprised this time, and he urged:
"Why are you keeping me in suspense? Tell me already!"

"The new leader of the Tang Clan is Xu Xin, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves from back then. He was originally from the Tang Clan, but now he has changed his name to Tang Xin!" the disciple gestured.

"Xu Xin?!"

"Yes, the news has spread. I heard that the people from the company are still at Tangmen right now."

Huang Ning immediately thought of the hint that Lü Liang had given him last time.

In an instant, he felt a sudden sense of clarity and understanding.

He was visibly excited, pacing back and forth in the study, his voice trembling slightly with excitement:
"Quickly, summon all the elders in the association right now."

"Especially Master Fang, who comes from the Natural Sect, is Bian Tong's junior brother. He is of utmost importance this time!"

“Tell him,” Huang Ning’s eyes gleamed, “our chance to turn things around has come!”

……

The next morning, the sky was slightly bright.

Lü Liang and Wang Ye then left the Tang Clan.

By noon, Xu Xin had agreed to Ishikawa Shin's request.

That evening, Xu Xin, along with Zhang Chulan and the other two, the Fish Dragon Society, and Lü Ci who had come to join them, boarded a private plane bound for Shenyang in the Northeast.

After boarding, the group did not gather together, but naturally split into three groups.

Xu Xin and Lü Ci were sitting in the front seats of the cabin, and Ishikawa Shinya shamelessly moved closer.

Behind the three of them, several rows of empty seats, Zhang Chulan and his two companions sat in the middle area.

A few rows further back, at the very back of the cabin, Ken Ishikawa, Aiko Yagyu, and Ringo Utara sat together, whispering to each other.

Zhang Chulan and the other two didn't talk for the moment. Their eyes, filled with gossip, were all looking towards the front of the cabin.

Xu Xin and Lü Ci had only exchanged a few words when they started arguing with each other.

Zhang Chulan quickly pricked up his ears, trying to catch some useful information.

He heard Xu Xin sigh softly and say, "After all these years, the matter of this demonic sword has finally come to a conclusion."

Lu Ci snorted, "The result? We haven't found the demon sword yet! Maybe we won't find it at all!"

Xu Xin glanced at Lü Ci and said irritably, "Can't you hope for something better?"

"After all these years, I've heard all the stories about your mad dog back in the tomb. You're so shady and dirty, you haven't changed at all."

Upon hearing this, Lü Ci's lips curled into a mocking smile, and he retorted:

"The Tang Clan leader has changed a lot. He even changed his surname to save his life. Where did that unyielding young man go? Is he buried in a grave?"

The two exchanged words, and the atmosphere grew increasingly tense, on the verge of a physical fight.

Seeing this, Ishikawazuka quickly tried to mediate, saying, "Gentlemen, don't get angry, don't get angry. We're still very confident of success this time..."

……

Amidst the laughter and chatter, the plane finally arrived in Shenyang.

The hatch opened, and everyone filed out.

As soon as Zhang Chulan got off the plane, his eyes immediately fell on the people who came to pick him up.

Standing at the front was a tall, thin man in a suit, with light brown hair cut into a neat buzz cut, and round-framed glasses perched on his nose.

Zhang Chulan quickly recognized that this person should be Gao Lian, the head of the Northeast region.

Gao Lian comes from the Gao family, one of the four great families in China. He is also a shaman and the father of Gao Erzhuang, a temporary worker in the Northeast region.

Zhang Chulan's gaze quickly shifted to the person next to Gao Lian, who appeared to be Gao Lian's assistant.

The man had small, narrow eyes and his head was slightly lowered when he spoke, giving him a very honest and simple appearance.

However, Zhang Chulan felt that, based on his experience, such a person might not necessarily be a good person.

……

At the same time, Lü Liang and Wang Ye had already arrived at the old site of the Mo Sect.

Lü Liang looked up and gazed into the distance at the airport not far away.

That should be where the Fish Dragon Society, Tang Sect, and Zhang Chulan's group landed. Judging from the time, Zhang Chulan and his group should have just landed not long ago, and are most likely meeting with the person in charge of the Northeast region right now.

A hint of excitement flashed in Lü Liang's eyes.

Mo Men, Shamanic Spirits, the Gao Family of Northeast China, Gao Erzhuang...

Tang Clan, Company, Lü Family, Lü Ci...

The Demon Blade, the Fish Dragon Society, and Qu Tong hidden behind the scenes.

This trip to Northeast China looks like it's going to be quite lively.
