Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

Which foreign organization would be so bored?

"Information warfare is something foreign countries love to do, so you don't need to worry about that. The company trusts you. If you need it, I'll have Erzhuang remove this message from the backend..."

Zhao Fangxu's voice came through the phone. After listening to Zhao Fangxu's words, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin and thought for a moment.

Whether he downloads this message or not is irrelevant to him... it won't affect him anyway.

After thinking for a moment, he asked a question that surprised Zhao Fangxu:

"Um... Mr. Zhao, do the parties involved get paid based on the number of clicks on this forum?"

"..."

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Zhao Fangxu on the other end of the phone remained silent for a moment.

how to say?

It was a question that was both unexpected and perfectly reasonable for him...

"Xiao Zhou, you're a director of our company, how can you even ask for this little bit of money?"

After a moment of silence, Zhao Fangxu spoke up.

"Boss, don't underestimate the internet... So many online celebrities have collected all the Cullinan fragments and reached the pinnacle of their lives through the internet..."

"Besides, even a small mosquito is still meat, so why not take it?"

Zhou Fengliu sat at the dining table, answering Zhao Fangxu's question in a serious tone.

He stated that one should not forget one's roots, and should not become detached from the masses or look down on even a small amount of money just because of a promotion...

Faced with Zhou Fengliu's explanation, Zhao Fangxu at the NaDuTong headquarters didn't take it too seriously. Seeing him adjust his glasses, he then said:

"Alright, Xiao Zhou, since you put it that way, I have a job for you... see if you want to do it."

"Ok?"

Hearing this, Zhou Fengliu realized that the conversation that followed was the real reason Zhao Fangxu had called him this time.

"Mr. Zhao, please speak."

Have you ever heard of the demon sword Hirumaru?

"?"

"Demon Sword Hirimaru?"

Upon hearing this word, a thoughtful look flashed across Zhou Fengliu's eyes, and his mind unconsciously began to recall the plot of the original novel...

To be honest... he wasn't really familiar with this part of the plot; it seemed to be something from a side story of the original work.

Not receiving a response, Zhao Fangxu knew he didn't know, so he briefly told him about the demon sword Hiruma over the phone.

The demon sword Hiruma comes from the land of cherry blossoms.

Legend has it that this is an evil sword, and the swordsmith who forged it was obsessed with swordsmanship when he was young.

Despite coming from a family of swordsmiths, he possessed an astonishing talent for swordsmanship. Every swordsman who came to him forging swords would be asked to teach him a move or two...

And so, while inheriting his family's sword-making business, he also honed his swordsmanship by wielding the sword he had forged for himself...

Two and a half years...

Five years...

ten years...

As time passed, the swordsmiths, the swordsmen, and even he himself were unaware that a monster had been born.

He felt that his swordsmanship had reached a bottleneck, so he went to various swordsmanship dojos to seek instruction.

He originally thought he was just a novice swordsman who had practiced for ten and a half years, and that his main purpose in going out was to broaden his horizons and learn from others. However, after fighting his way around, he discovered that none of the swordsmen outside were as strong as him...

As one dojo after another was defeated by this complete newcomer whose name had never appeared in the circle, the powerful swordsmen of the Sakura Kingdom began to band together to discuss countermeasures.

These people are like villains in a novel. When they see the brilliant protagonist showing his talent, they start to rave and say things like, "This kid must not be allowed to live."

After being ambushed by the group, the swordsmith did not achieve a miracle like the protagonist in the novel, but was instead tricked and killed by the group.

After his death, his resentful spirit seemed to attach itself to his sword, turning the wielder into a monster driven only by slaughter and revenge...

This sword, imbued with the swordsmith's soul, was called "Hirumaru" by swordsmen at the time.

The monster wielding this sword is called a demon.

After listening to Zhao Fangxu's account of the history of the demon sword Hiruma, Zhou Fengliu felt that the story sounded somewhat familiar.

What kind of "Ten Mile Slope Sword God" story is this? Kuku was training in the newbie village, invincible from the start, but was forcibly banned...

"Boss, this knife... it's pretty sinister."

"Ah."

Hearing Zhou Fengliu's words, Zhao Fangxu nodded:

“It is indeed sinister. Originally, this had nothing to do with us, but just thirteen hours ago, this demonic sword... was discovered in the Northeast region.”

"?"

"The Northeast Region?"

"Yes...a few young men got stuck in the mountains and ended up finding that knife...the young man with the knife killed all his companions, and in the end, he was completely consumed by the demonic knife..." Zhao Fangxu shared the information with Zhou Fengliu.

"Mr. Zhao, how come that demonic sword is in the Northeast region?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's question, Zhao Fangxu paused for two seconds before recounting another chapter of the history of resisting Japanese pirates.

Decades ago, the Sakura Kingdom invaded the land of China, and the Hieiyama organization of the Sakura Kingdom also came to the land of China with the troops.

This is a ninja organization from the land of cherry blossoms. At the time, the Tang Clan ambushed the Hiei ninja, and the two sides clashed multiple times, both suffering significant losses...

The leader of the Bihe Ren clan at the time issued a challenge to the Tang Clan, agreeing to each select ten men to fight a decisive battle inside the Toutian Cave.

Among them, Eita, the demon of that generation, was among the ten members of the Higanbana ninja, wielding Hirumaru.

The Tang Clan accepted the challenge, and the two sides fought fiercely inside the cave. In the end, the Tang Clan lost several heroes but won the battle in the Demon Cave.

The demon wielding the demon sword Hirumaru, despite suffering from multiple poisons and internal and external injuries, managed to escape the Tang Clan's pursuit, disappearing with the demon sword at large...

The appearance of the demon sword in the Northeast region proves that Eita the Demon King did indeed die on the land of China.

...

As Zhao Fangxu recounted that brutal history, Zhou Fengliu's expression grew solemn.

After Zhao Fangxu explained it to him, he understood why the Tang Clan was losing talent.

With so many people lost, it's no wonder that Xu Xin is the only one left who can use the Pill Devouring Technique...

In fact.

Not just the Tang Clan...

Other sects also contributed their own strength, to varying degrees, during that brutal period of history...

Some sects, in the end, are left with only one survivor to pass on their techniques... others don't even have that one survivor left, and their sect's techniques are lost...

"Mr. Zhao, what do you need me to do?"

After hearing the background of the story, Zhou Fengliu asked directly.

"This is the second thing I want to talk about. At the banquet when King Nathan came to Shenzhou, Ishikawa Shin, the president of the Fish and Dragon Society, discussed with me that if we really found the demon sword Hiruma, we should have them escort it back to the country and destroy it. I agreed at the time."

"I just had Chairman Su contact the Fish-Dragon Society, and after confirming the identity of the demon sword, Ishikawa Shin is preparing to come and personally receive and destroy it..."

Chapter 489 Tao Tao, she's really about to face her doom! (Second Update)

"In addition, I also contacted the Tang Clan and the Lü family. Both families suffered heavy losses in that battle. Now that the demonic blade has appeared, they deserve an explanation."

"Xiao Zhou, you are the honorary principal of the Tang Clan, and you've also met Ishikawa Shin. After much consideration, I feel that sending you to the Northeast region is the most suitable..."

"First, go help Lao Gao and keep things under control..."

"Secondly, if anything unexpected were to happen, I have confidence in your abilities..."

Zhao Fangxu stood in the headquarters building and said very seriously.

With Zhou Fengliu, a strategic director, stationed in the Northeast, Zhao Fangxu could rest assured.

"Just to keep things under control? Nothing else?" Zhou Fengliu asked when Zhao Fangxu didn't say anything more.

"Hmm? What else do you want?" Zhao Fangxu asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Oh, it's nothing, it just felt a bit bland. After all, the last mission was to teach Behemoth a lesson..."

"I was thinking you'd have to give the Fish Dragon Society some kind of job this time, and I'm absolutely capable of it. As long as the boss is willing to pay extra, I'll just handcraft two tactical missiles and send them over..."

Zhou Fengliu said that he missed the anti-Japanese war period, so this time he took the opportunity to let Xiaoyinghua know what it means that "the times have changed".

Upon learning of Zhou Fengliu's idea, Zhao Fangxu at headquarters immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

"Xiao Zhou, calm down... The Fish-Dragon Society is here to destroy the demon sword. According to Sakura, they are all law-abiding citizens. Don't escalate the conflict first..."

Hearing Zhao Fangxu's instructions, Zhou Fengliu had no choice but to give up.

He was a little confused; if it was just about escorting the demon sword, it didn't seem necessary to send in a strategic-level director like himself...
