In the beginning, he was ranked alongside An Shigeng as a spoiled brat.

Moreover, they are all agarwood, not agarwood wood.

There are also various spices, herbal essential oils, and small-leaf sandalwood... These are the things the Zhang family has no shortage of.

The Zhang family, rooted in Buddhist culture in the border region and engaged in annual business dealings, has become arguably the largest business family in the area, and also enjoys the benefits of foreign policy.

Because the Biao Kingdom also knew the Zhang family's status in the Song Dynasty, and the Zhang family's specialties were especially favored by the Biao Kingdom's royal family and nobles.

One side of the Buddhist hall is a meditation room, which also serves as a bedroom.

Outside the brocade and silk, musk burned inside, along with ambergris, sandalwood, and agarwood...

Next to the Buddhist hall is the yoga room, where women practice yoga.

Compared to the esoteric yoga practiced by Master Mingchen, the women practiced yoga techniques from later generations, and therefore had more auxiliary equipment.

Looking at the layout of the Buddhist hall, Zhang Xiaoshan casually took out six Sacred Flame Tokens and placed them on the incense table.

"Is this the Sacred Flame Token that was traded with the Persian headquarters?"

"Not bad, but it hasn't been 'blessed' yet, so it's usable for now."

"For now, we'll leave it here. Besides using it for Master Mingchen and the others' cultivation, it will also absorb some incense smoke and at least show signs of Buddhist consecration."

Looking at the new Sacred Flame Token, Hongxiao's lips twitched involuntarily.

This was clearly a simple matter for Zhang Xiaoshan, but it caused countless losses for the Persian Grand Master.

Moreover, the 'consecration' process does not appear to be a prayer involving burning incense.

"Alright, Master Mingchen will be here soon. Please take good care of him from now on."

"Young master, are you and Master Mingchen...you know...that?"

Bang!

Zhang Xiaoshan gave Hongxiao's little head a sharp crack and scolded her:

"Children shouldn't meddle in adult matters!"

"child!?"

Hongxiao watched Zhang Xiaoshan's reprimand. They were two or three years older than Zhang Xiaoshan, and moreover, they were Zhang Xiaoshan's people.

Now Zhang Xiaoshan is actually calling them children?!

Chapter 166 Black Armor Demon God Yi Zhengtianren

call!

Inside the study, Zhang Xiaoshan shot a dragon ball into the body of the black-armored warrior.

Black Mountain's already enormous and imposing physique appeared to shrink and embed itself into its muscles after swallowing the Dragon Ball.

In fact, his burly body had become even more robust, and his height had increased by a foot, truly reaching a height of 'ten feet'.

Moreover, a dark red aura surrounded him, something the bronze-armored warriors had not possessed before.

With his enhanced, powerful muscles and completely integrated black armor, the Black Mountain Envoy, who was previously perceived as clumsy, now resembles a black tiger poised to strike at any moment, ready to unleash a swift and deadly attack!

"Ghost One, Ghost Two, and Ghost Three are about right. From now on, you'll be called Demon God!"

Looking at the towering black-armored warrior, the overwhelming pressure was truly fitting for the title of "Demon God."

Moreover, compared to the bronze-armored warriors like Ghost One and Ghost Two, the black-armored warriors are not only physically stronger, but also possess greater power due to the higher content of meteorite copper in their armor.

The terrifying aura surrounding them was a manifestation of that; it was the true power of heaven and earth.

Unless the bronze-armored warrior fully activates the Dragon Ball within his body, he cannot mobilize the power of heaven and earth, but the black-armored warrior did just that.

The overwhelming power of heaven and earth forces even grandmasters have no choice but to retreat from its edge.

"Son!"

At this moment, Liu Sheng Piaoxu walked in with a group of experts completely covered in black.

During this time, Yagyu Hyouse kept in touch with Japan, inviting the Japanese Tennin masters to come and pledge allegiance.

"I, from Japan, greet Young Master Zhang!"

Beneath the black robes was a pale-faced ninja with piercing eyes. He was beardless and had a smooth face, a result of practicing certain special techniques.

However, the wrinkles on his face indicate that he is at least sixty years old.

Isamu Tennin was a rare master in Japan, and not just any master, but one who had mastered ninjutsu to its highest level, which is why he was called Tennin.

Previously, he served the general's mansion and was the general's double.

However, with the changing of the guard in the shogunate, it was clear that a master like Isamu was being replaced.

At an advanced age of over sixty, Japan lacks the profound internal martial arts techniques of the Central Plains. Even for top masters, physical decline leads to a significant reduction in strength, which is also the reason why Yi Zheng failed in his struggle for new power.

Upon receiving Liu Sheng Piaoxu's invitation, Yi Zheng came out of seclusion to act as Zhang Xiaoshan's stand-in.

Furthermore, he used the Dragon Balls to enhance his strength, reaching the Grandmaster level of the Six Paths God Ninja Realm!

Therefore, when Yi Zhengtianren saw the legendary real person, besides the excitement hidden in his eyes, he glanced at the black-armored warrior who looked like a demon god to the side and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

He believed that if he went up to such a terrifying and domineering warrior, he would most likely be killed with a single palm strike.

"Yi Zhengtianren, has Piaoxu ever told you about the drawbacks of the Dragon Ball infusion?"

"I already know, but what is a mere physical body compared to the power to become stronger!"

Yi Zhengtianren nodded firmly.

As a master of the Heavenly Ninja level, even in old age, he still holds a revered position.

But what kind of place is Japan?

Human nature is such that people fawn over the powerful and flatter the weak; this applies everywhere.

Due to the decline in his strength caused by physical aging, he has suffered countless humiliations over the years in order to cater to the new Tianren.

Moreover, as a ninja, his mission was to be loyal to the general.

If it were to be restarted, and possibly even return to its peak, or even surpass it, Yi Zhengtianren felt that any price would be worth paying.

"In that case, put it on!"

Zhang Xiaoshan took out a smaller black armor from the side.

Without the slightest hesitation, Yi Zhengtian put on the puzzling black armor and awaited Zhang Xiaoshan's next instructions.

"This black armor, infused with the power of the Dragon Ball, can become one with your body."

It can also protect your body from being completely consumed by the power of the Dragon Balls, and allow you to unleash the Dragon Balls' immense power instead of being directly assimilated by the power of heaven and earth.

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan summoned the 'Origin' Dragon Pearl and forcibly poured a surge of heaven and earth power into Yi Zhengtianren's body.

Ah!

Immediately afterwards, a shrill scream echoed throughout the entire villa complex.

As the women prepared to go in and investigate, they saw a figure resembling a demon blocking the doorway in front of the study.

Black-armored warrior!

Since Zhang Xiaoshan did this, they knew that he was 'guarding' against them, or that he didn't want them to see something.

Therefore, the women did not continue and returned to their own rooms.

However, Lianxing could sense that the agonizing screams of someone wishing for death were strikingly similar to those of Chai Yuguan before her.

Clearly, Zhang Xiaoshan has once again conducted some inhumane experiments.

As the power of the Dragon Balls flowed into his body, after experiencing the excruciating pain of his body being torn apart, Yi Zhengtian lay in his study, slowly feeling the power gradually spreading.

It was a power that far surpassed his peak, even exceeding his previous control over his body. It was as if he had transformed into a god. He felt that if he were to use ninjutsu again, he would surely surpass his previous limits and reach the Daoist realm of 'creating something from nothing'.

This is the Six Paths Realm of a Japanese ninja!

The Six Paths are ultimately the celestial and human realms of the Nine Provinces.

It also means returning ninjutsu to its original form and transforming it back into the 'Taoist arts' of the Central Plains.

"Thank you, Master, for your blessing!"

At this moment, Izheng Tianren, who should have already become Izheng Shenren, prostrated himself on the ground, expressing his submission to Zhang Xiaoshan, who had bestowed upon him peak power.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded. At his level, he naturally didn't need a stand-in to protect himself.

But for certain tasks, he needs to conceal his identity, which undoubtedly requires a double.

That's when he thought of these secret ninjas!

These ninjas are an excellent choice; they exist for killing and are even more extreme than samurai.

Like the assassins trained by aristocratic families in the Central Plains, they live only for their masters.

"You will usually remain hidden around me and act on my orders."

"Yes, Master!"

Because of the presence of the black armor, Izheng Shenren can now unleash the power of a Grandmaster.

Even so, Isamu's body was slowly being eroded by the power of the Dragon Balls, but Isamu didn't care at all.

All he needs is immense power!

What the experts of the Central Plains feared was nothing in his eyes.

Especially those avengers who come from hell, who don't care about anything they have to pay for revenge.

"I will bestow something upon you!"

As he spoke, Zhang Xiaoshan summoned the Dragon Pearl once more.

A ball of flame suddenly appeared and entered the body of Izheng Shenren.

This ball of flame is the essence of heaven and earth from which Zhang Xiaoshan erased Chai Yuguan's consciousness, making it extremely suitable for Izheng Shenren, who was also infused with the power of the Dragon Balls.

Chapter 167 The Power of the Divine Ninja: The Terrifying Substitute

"loss!"

The next day, when he woke up and looked at Huang Rong who was fast asleep, he realized that he had spent a great deal of effort to resolve the matter of Master Mingchen.

As a result, he signed numerous unequal treaties.

He will spend at least two out of the three days with Huang Rong.

Of course, this is not a problem at all. He cheats mostly during the day, and his stay at the Hong Mansion is mostly for social occasions, so it can be disregarded.

Hongxiao and Jiangxue's rooms were connected to the outer maid's rooms, so they weren't considered to be outside the main bedroom.

Besides, no more women are allowed to be brought here in the future.

And 'this' is not just the new villa, but also the future Zhang family home!

Even if those women were to move in, it would require Huang Rong's consent.

Only after reaching a series of consensuses did Huang Rong's murderous intent subside.

The honeymoon period isn't even over yet, and Zhang Xiaoshan dares to bring women home. If she doesn't act like a domineering first wife, she'll be bullied to death in the future.

Therefore, although she may seem unreasonable, she knows her purpose and bottom line.

If she hadn't fallen into his trap as soon as she left the island, she would never have married such a philandering man.

While Huang Rong was fast asleep, Zhang Xiaoshan, dressed neatly with the help of Hongxiao and Jiangxue, carefully selected his accessories. He couldn't even remember the last time he had dressed himself.

···

"How do you feel physically?"

The conversation taking place in the courtyard was so spontaneous that no one could be seen within a ten-zhang radius.

But then a humanoid black shadow appeared out of thin air. Without Ji Yaohua's props, it was like a mirage, like sunlight reflecting off a building. The shadow did not exist in reality.

Invisibility!

With this technique, if it weren't for the power of the Dragon Balls, Isamu could hide ten feet away from him without being detected.
