Xiaoyu covered her head.
Jiang Shinian watched Jackie Chan leave with Xiaoyu, then turned his gaze back to Jackie Chan.
Jackie Chan was still punching and kicking his ninjas, and although there were many of them, they could hardly get close to the determined Jackie Chan.
Jiang Shi Nian frowned, summoned a dark figure, and gave him a few instructions.
The shadowy ninja then nodded and respectfully departed.
Before long, Tru seemed to have received some kind of instruction and began to slowly move towards the corrupted dragon.
"I'll fight!"
The corrupted Chenglong punched away the approaching shadowy ninja, then dodged the attack from behind by sidestepping. He suddenly raised his leg, spun around, and swept it backward.
With a loud "bang," the shadowy soldier who had launched the sneak attack fell to the ground and was then swallowed up and merged into the shadowy ground.
Just as the blackened dragon was engaged in fierce battle, he suddenly felt two pokes on his shoulder. Startled, he quickly turned around.
Truna's burly figure stood before him, a huge fist approaching his face.
"boom!"
After a loud bang, the blackened dragon felt dizzy, his vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground.
The shadowy figure beside Tru, seeing the corrupted dragon fall, immediately bent down to check on his condition.
After confirming that he was completely unconscious, a shadowy soldier began to touch the corrupted dragon's body, groping him all over.
Before long, half of the tiger talisman was found.
Just then, the shadowy figures suddenly all retreated.
On the ground beside the blackened dragon, a dark shadow rolled, undulating violently like boiling water.
A figure emerged from it.
The shadowy ninja who had found the Tiger Talisman waited for the newcomer to stand at attention and then respectfully presented the half of the Tiger Talisman.
The dark figure spread its arms wide, revealing a fragment of a tiger tally with a strange luster.
"Hmm, very good, little ones."
Jiang Shinian nodded in satisfaction, reached out and took the half of the tiger talisman from the shadowy figure's hand, held it up to his eyes, and carefully stroked it.
"Tiger Talisman..."
Jiang Shinian suddenly lowered his head, sighed with genuine emotion, and then put away the talisman.
He looked at the blackened dragon lying quietly on the ground, and a terrible thought inexplicably popped into his mind.
“No, no, no, no…”
Jiang Shi Nian shook his head, rejecting the idea.
"Um……"
Jiang Shi Nian pondered for two seconds before instructing the shadow ninjas, "Take him back to the Black Hand Building and let Valmont use his eloquence to try and persuade him. It shouldn't be too difficult."
Jiang Shinian glanced at Tru, who seemed to be standing obediently to the side. Tru's hands hung naturally at his sides, and his head was lowered slightly. He had no intention of saying a word.
"I'll have Valon come to see me first."
Jiang Shi Nian gave the order.
There was one more thing he didn't say to Tru.
That is, after he verbally persuades Valon and offers him money, he will also perform some simple actions.
The purpose of doing this is naturally to ensure that the corrupted Jackie Chan will not be influenced by Jade and the main characters. Otherwise, if he recognizes his friend or foe halfway through, what would happen?
"That magic is not easy to learn..."
Jiang Shinian scratched his head, looking somewhat troubled.
"Alright, let's hurry back. I need to move on to the next step of the plan as soon as possible."
Jiang spoke up ten years ago, then looked at Tru.
"Go quickly and board the plane that Valon has prepared, and return as soon as possible!"
"Yes, I understand."
Trudeau lowered his head and agreed.
"Okay, let's go first."
As Jiang Shinian finished speaking, suddenly, a dark shadow surged forth from the ground, enveloping Jiang Shinian entirely.
"Gurgling"
Soon, Jiang Shinian was immersed in the shadows.
As Jiang Shinian traversed the Shadow Kingdom, his thoughts began to wander.
The previous choice came suddenly, but it also gave him a direction.
However, Jiang Shinian didn't really like any of those three options. His original plan was to have the Shadow Ninja infiltrate the Thirteenth District's security system and then steal the talisman.
But a shadowy figure had already informed him of the result: around the talisman, there was not only a net laid out by District Thirteen, but also a Qi Demon Spell that Old Man had specially prepared for those few talismans.
The so-called inescapable net was nothing; the shadowy figures could come and go as they pleased, jumping back and forth repeatedly.
However, the Qi Demon Curse set up by the old man was quite troublesome.
If we can prevent any black creatures from getting close, then we have no choice but to send people to snatch them.
However, if the villains were to attack District 13, District 13 would indeed be the safest place.
At that time, it will likely unleash a bloody storm, and the outcome will be extremely tragic—for Jiang Shinian.
Therefore, after reviewing the mission, Jiang Shinian decisively chose the second option.
This task is similar to a choice, since you can only do one of the three tasks at a time, not all three simultaneously.
Jiang would never choose the first reward, the nuclear bomb, given the choice.
If Jiang Shinian were to use this thing, regardless of his own intentions, the dark and righteous energies would likely join forces to eliminate him.
It may not be very powerful, but it has a significant impact.
The Earth's ecology is a crucial element in maintaining the balance between positive and negative energies.
As for the third one, it goes without saying that it's a level 5 poison gu, and it's random, so it's really not very useful. The choice of what to do is to slaughter the thirteen districts, which is even more difficult than the first one and not easy to do.
The second one, however, was exactly what caught his eye.
This one has the least impact, can greatly reduce his presence, and the reward is quite good.
Mask privileges have been increased.
He really needs this right now.
Because the Shadow Legion he now controls is a censored and abridged version.
Due to various reasons, the number of ninjas he could summon with the shadow mask in his hand was now quite small.
The Shadow Legion, also known as the Ghost Legion, is led by a demon named Tara.
This demon was one of the demons born from the black energy after the eight great demons were sealed away by the mortal world, when there was no one in the world who could stand alone and represent the black energy.
Tara is a strange demon whose power is extremely peculiar and unlike that of the eight great demons.
He is the Demon King of Ghosts, the ruler of all Japanese ghosts.
And that’s not all.
He is the head of the Shadow Kingdom and the commander of the Shadow Legion, with nine generals under his command, each with their own unique power and corresponding troop type.
This unit is the Shadow Legion.
At that time, the entire Japan was under the rule of Tara.
However, Tara did not hold out for long. The black energy retreated steadily, forcing Tara to remain in a corner of the island, unable to leave its tiny, dilapidated island.
What's even more tragic is that Tara's rule, which encompassed only such a small territory, did not last long and soon came to an end.
He and his entire legion were defeated by the magic of the ancient warriors. The souls of the nine shadow generals were sealed in nine masks, and Tara herself was burdened with a deep and inescapable curse, falling into the deepest slumber.
Just as the monks scattered his twelve talismans throughout the world, they also took these nine masks to every corner of the world.
This is roughly what Jiang Shinian knew about Tara. The mask in his hand was given to the Black Qi Wizard a hundred years after Tara was sealed away, and eventually ended up in the hands of the Holy Lord.
Although the Holy Lord spent some time in Hell, he became one of the world's top magicians after he came out.
He used magic to cast a seal on the mask, a seal that would allow Shendu to forcibly extract energy from the mask and summon the Shadow Ninja without using the mask itself.
However, it was a seal performed by magic after all.
As time marches on, the mask, which could not be fully utilized to begin with, is gradually breaking free from its seal.
This has resulted in Jiang's current authority only allowing him to summon about one-third of the Shadow Ninjas.
Even if the summoned shadows were not lost, there were only a few thousand of them, which made his exploration of the world very slow.
Furthermore, while traversing the Shadow Kingdom is convenient, it comes with conditions.
After several attempts, Jiang Shi Nian discovered that, apart from the entrances and exits of the Shadow Kingdom that intersected with the human world, to achieve the effect of rapid travel, a Shadow Ninja was needed to act as a medium to open the passage to the Shadow Kingdom.
In other words, to reach that place, the presence of shadowy soldiers is needed to open a passage for them.
So for so long, Jiang Shinian has actually been in a situation where he is short of manpower.
He needs the Shadows to help him carry out thefts around the world, collect valuable items and ancient documents, and he also needs Shadow Soldiers to travel around the world as intermediaries to open passages to the Shadow Kingdom.
In addition, he also needs the shadows to gather intelligence, search for items such as talismans, masks, and dragon teeth scattered around the world, and determine their locations.
However, now that all the talismans have appeared, there is no need to send the shadowy figures to do this part of the work anymore.
However, the shadows searched for a long time but could not find a single one of those masks that had been scattered around the world.
Jiang Shinian couldn't remember the mask's whereabouts clearly because so much time had passed. He only vaguely remembered that a mask was kept in a museum or something similar.
He sent the shadowy figure to explore and search everywhere, which was almost like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Therefore, his support for the villainous group almost always involved sending only a very limited number of shadow ninjas to guide them to the location of the talismans.
