"Aaaaaah!!"

Amidst screams, the two sword energies struck with pinpoint accuracy.

The two men, instantly struck by the sword, collapsed to the ground in a sorry state.

One of them was killed on the spot by Changqing's sword, while the other, with only half of his body remaining, writhed and looked at Changqing with a fierce but cowardly expression.

"You two despicable Chinese!"

"Just you wait! The Yin-Yang Bureau and the Empire will definitely avenge us!"

"I'll be waiting for you in hell!"

"Hahahaha!!"

The woman was covered in blood, laughing maniacally.

Seeing this scene, Changqing's indifferent eyes flashed with murderous intent.

Instead of ending the woman's life immediately, he stepped forward and grabbed her head with one hand.

Compared to the masked man they had dealt with before, the woman before them was clearly a higher-level figure, judging from the vengeful spirits she controlled and the power she wielded.

Therefore, this guy must have more information that the masked man doesn't know.

Relying on the power of his primordial spirit, Changqing easily invaded the other party's brain and rummaged through the memories of the person in front of him.

After searching for a while, Changqing soon saw this scene deep in his memory.

It was a traditional Japanese shrine.

In the pitch-black light, an elderly man with white hair, dressed in a magnificent hunting robe, sat in the center.

The three people who had just been killed by Changqing, along with five other unidentified figures, entered the room and sat on either side.

After a while, the old man coughed twice and slowly spoke.

"I just received a notification from the Empire's higher-ups that the plan is about to officially begin."

"Next, I will follow the main force of the Tsuchimikado family to the northeast of the continent, and together with the Tendai Sect, the Ghost Dao Sect, and Mount Hiei, I will contribute to the main force of the Empire."

"As for you, go to Fujian first."

"Protect Major Takagi to complete the mission, and while you're at it, investigate the local supernatural cult."

"If we find any weak sects, we will quietly eliminate them and bring back their cultivation techniques and secret manuals."

"If you encounter a large sect, gather as much relevant information as possible, but be careful not to alert them."

"Especially Xiangzi and the others, do not use blood sacrifice to feed shikigami in urban areas."

"If you want to feed your shikigami, go to the mountains and forests and find villages or animals."

"And we must also be careful to eliminate any potential threats at the outset, lest your mistakes hinder the Empire's grand plans!"

"Did you understand?"

The old man asked in a low voice.

"Hi!"

Everyone agreed.

"Okay, that's settled then. You'll be leading the team from now on, Kenji."

"Please be extremely careful regarding Major Takagi's safety!"

My memory ends here.

Changqing withdrew from the woman's consciousness and crushed her with a grim expression.

"What's wrong, Changqing?"

"Did you see something?"

Shuiyun was aware that the primordial spirit could forcibly probe into memories.

So when he saw Changqing's expression suddenly turn ugly, he couldn't wait to ask.

"Yeah, the guy I just killed was one of the group's underlings."

"In her memory, the so-called spying on the secrets of the major sects in Xiamen, and the blood sacrifice to feed the shikigami, were just incidental actions."

"The real mission of these guys is to protect a major named Takagi and gather military intelligence in preparation for future invasion operations."

"These treacherous bastards are planning to invade China, and their main force has already begun operations in the three northeastern provinces!!"

Changqing nodded, his heart burning with rage.

Although he already knew the course of history, he still couldn't help but clench his fists when he actually experienced it.

Upon hearing this, Shuiyun's expression changed several times in an instant, veins bulging on her forehead, and she couldn't help but curse loudly.

"What a bunch of delusional bastards! How could they even harbor such thoughts!"

"Aren't they afraid of breaking their teeth?"

"No, we have to find that guy named Takagi right away. We can't let him achieve his goal!"

With that, Shuiyun pulled Changqing away.

However, the next moment, Changqing broke free from Shuiyun's grasp and gently shook his head, "Wait a minute, there's no rush."

"Huh? Aren't you in a hurry? The situation is already at its most critical!"

After her hands were freed, Shuiyun looked at Changqing in confusion.

"According to the woman's memory, the man named Takagi left Xiamen three days ago and was heading towards Quanzhou by boat."

"In Xiamen, only a few Onmyoji remain to continue gathering information on local supernatural beings."

"The other party has disguised themselves, and in such a short time, we simply cannot find out any specific information about them."

"Our most urgent task is to stay and eliminate the remaining Onmyoji."

"Then I reported the intelligence about the three northeastern provinces to my master, so that he could contact the sects in the northeast to prepare for defense."

"As for pursuing Takagi, that can't be rushed for now. We can only ask Xiaozhan to track his movements and report the details to the authorities."

After saying that, Shuiyun remained silent for a moment, suppressing the anger in her heart.

"You're right. Let's go back to town first and have Yunji and Qiuming report the news to Master."

"As for the remaining few Japanese Onmyoji..."

Shuiyun looked at Changqing.

"I can handle those guys."

As he spoke, Changqing once again expanded his spiritual perception, pushing it with all his might to sweep across the entire mountain forest and spread throughout Xiamen.

In this way, Changqing quickly searched through the dense crowd and soon located the last two Japanese Onmyoji in Xiamen in a restaurant in the town.

"Found it!"

A bead of sweat dripped from Changqing's forehead, and a look of joy appeared on his face.

Then, his body transformed into qi and leaped into the air, speaking to the water and clouds below.

"Shuiyun, let's split into two groups."

"Go and deliver the message; I'll take care of the last two guys."

"Understood." Shuiyun nodded. "Be careful."

Upon hearing this, Changqing stopped lingering and flew towards the target location.

Inside a restaurant called Chunshuiju in the town.

A Japanese man wearing gold-rimmed glasses paced back and forth inside the house.

This caused another woman next to him, dressed in a kimono and smoking opium, to frown deeply.

"Hey Yamada, you've been walking back and forth for over an hour now, it's so annoying!"

"Can't you just shut up for a bit?"

The man named Yamada was called out, but he didn't stop. He just couldn't help but sigh and say something.

"I want to stop too, but for some reason, I've been feeling a little panicked since just now."

"I have a feeling that something bad is about to happen."

"By the way, Kiku, what about Shoko and the other guys?"

"Did they go out for another blood sacrifice?"

"Yes." The woman named Kiku nodded.

"That's right, those guys just went out and said they found two new villages in the suburbs. They should be back soon."
