"We've arrived," I said, not responding to her question.
"Hmm?" Upon hearing my words, Li Bihui indeed sensed a huge surge of spiritual energy emanating from not far ahead.
Then, Li Bihui and I walked forward together. When we came to a broken wall, I thought for a moment and then slammed my palm hard against the wall.
At that moment, we saw cracks appear in the wall in front of us, and soon the wall crumbled to reveal a cave. The wall wasn't thick; it was clear that someone had deliberately covered it with stone slabs to prevent it from being discovered by others or destroyed by wild animals.
Then Li Bihui and I turned on our flashlights and cautiously led the King Snake into the cave. Once inside, we found that all the mechanisms had been destroyed, and a monster's corpse lay on the ground. The body was rotten to the point of being nothing but bits of flesh and bones, but it was clear that the monster had been a very ferocious and cruel creature in life.
Because my father had already explored the treasure beforehand, Li Bihui, Wang She, and I walked in without any danger. When we reached the deepest part of the cave, I couldn't help but widen my eyes at the enormous stone chamber before me.
No wonder my father always sent me to find this treasure; there are so many treasures inside!
Chapter 388 Overseas Showdown
Meanwhile, Qinghua, the number one martial arts master, is leading the sect leaders, clan heads, and major powers of the entire martial arts world in a manhunt for Oda Seiji and his gang.
The most important figure in Oda Seiji's group is Oda Seiji, the Six Great Demons, and Aurora, led by the Three Heavenly Kings. Aurora is the main force under Oda Seiji.
After a relentless pursuit, Aurora's forces, which had initially numbered 30,000 in the ancient town of Jiangnan, were reduced to a mere 2,000. When Qinghua led her men to the border of China, Oda Seiji's troops encountered the waiting Wang family army. The Wang family's well-trained army, led by General Cui and joined by the ten leaders of the Wang family's martial arts halls, once again decimated Oda Seiji's forces, reducing them from 2,000 to just over 20 men.
After the Divine Group captured the criminals from Aurora and took down Xuanwu, one of Aurora's three Heavenly Kings, Li Xiaoyao looked at the fleeing Oda Seiji and said, "Oda Seiji is too strong; they got away again."
"As long as Oda Seiji lives, this world will never have peace. We will hunt him down until we cut off his head," Aohana said coldly, wiping the blood from her sword.
Hearing Qinghua's words, Li Xiaoyao's eyes showed gratitude. Then, he looked at Qinghua earnestly and said, "If our martial arts world had been as united as it is now more than ten years ago, Oda Seiji would not have had the opportunity to cause trouble. And the current state of the world is largely due to us. Qinghua, thank you. Thank you for leading us to drive Oda Seiji out of China. China will never forget what your Wang family did. Once you kill Oda Seiji, China will definitely hold a grand victory banquet for your Wang family."
"But our Divine Group is only the police of China, not the international police. When we enter other countries' territory, we need to go through a lot of troublesome procedures. We can only follow them this far, and the rest is up to you. During the time that Oda Seiji has taken over our entire Jianghu, China has been thrown into chaos by them. After we return, we will immediately launch a 100-day extermination operation to eradicate all remaining members of Aurora. At the same time, we will deal with domestic order so that Oda Seiji can no longer escape back to China. Qinghua, Wang Yang, I thank you once again!" With that, Li Xiaoyao gripped his longsword upside down and bowed deeply to Qinghua and Wang Yang.
“Li Xiaoyao, your Divine Group is only half a member of the martial arts world, not a complete one. You have your own discipline, and we don’t blame you for only being able to chase us this far. However, you can take everyone from Aurora, but you cannot take Xuanwu. Our Wang family also has its own laws, and we will deal with Xuanwu ourselves,” Qinghua said coldly.
Li Xiaoyao glanced at the exquisite blue-and-white porcelain before him and frowned slightly. Then, after a moment's thought, he nodded gently and said, "Alright, the credit is yours. You can take Xuanwu with you. I believe your Wang family will judge Xuanwu in the fairest way."
"Okay." After hearing Li Xiaoyao's words, Qinghua let the Divine Group and his police and armed police escort Aurora's men back.
This is the border. According to Chinese rules, once a criminal escapes across the border, the domestic police cannot pursue them.
After Li Xiaoyao and his men left, Wang Yang looked at the various martial arts figures from different factions who were following him and said, "Oda Seiji has already fled to India with his men. Do you still want to follow us and continue the pursuit?"
Upon hearing Wang Yang's words, Xiao Haoren immediately gritted his teeth and said, "Uncle, as long as the Aurora never dies and Oda Seiji never dies, I, Xiao Haoren, will not give up on them."
“Uncle, Oda Seiji and Aurora owe our various sects too much blood debt. We must make them pay for this blood debt,” said the Wudang chief disciple.
"Amitabha Buddha, it is our duty to subdue demons and eliminate evil spirits. Even if the evil spirits flee abroad, Shaolin will still fight them to the end," said Abbot Fangda of Shaolin.
"Wang Yang, more than a decade ago, our entire martial arts world failed to help your Wang family, leaving you in grave danger. We forced you to fight alone and ultimately destroyed your family. Today, our entire martial arts world will never abandon your Wang family again. As long as Oda Seiji lives, we will not leave." Some senior figures in the martial arts world immediately said.
“Very good, then let’s retreat three miles and set up camp. Tomorrow at midnight, we’ll sneak into India and wipe out Oda Seiji.” Wang Yang said immediately after hearing everyone’s suggestion.
After Wang Yang finished speaking, he led everyone to retreat to avoid attracting the attention of the Indian National Defense Force.
At this moment, not only were all the forces from China present, but also those from multiple countries, as well as the European Golden Twelve Knights, who had just been defeated by Oda Seiji.
This attack by Oda Seiji has drawn everyone's attention. They are determined to kill Oda Seiji; they won't be at ease until they see him die with their own eyes.
As soon as Wang Yang glanced at the Empress Dowager of the Ye family, Qinghua immediately gave him a cold look and said, "Wang Yang, give up. The Empress Dowager of the Ye family only loves Yehenara Xian Gui. She will never be with you in this life. And your son Wang Xi has already married a daughter of the Ye family. Do you want Xi'er to call you father-in-law or father? Do you want your granddaughter to call you grandfather or maternal grandfather?"
"Keep your voice down." Upon hearing Qinghua's words, Wang Yang's face immediately turned red.
As soon as Wang Yang and Qinghua entered the tent, Wang Yang, feeling a surge of fear, immediately said, "If our entire martial arts world had been this united more than ten years ago, we wouldn't have had to fight Oda Seiji so hard. Haha, this is the first time I've ever seen Oda Seiji being chased away. It's not easy. Now I, Wang Yang, can also chase Oda Seiji away."
"Hehe..." After hearing Wang Yang's words, Qinghua just let out a cold laugh.
"It's been almost a month already. We've been chasing Oda Seiji all the way from Jiangnan to the border of China, almost to India. I wonder if he's gone to that treasure I pointed out to Xi'er. Sigh, I hope he hasn't let that Li family princess interfere with his important business. He's given me another granddaughter so soon, haha." Seeing Qinghua's cold smile, Wang Yang took another deep breath in tension.
"Heh." This time, Qinghua simply let out a cold snort.
Seeing that Qinghua was still angry, Wang Yang immediately knelt down in front of her with a mournful face, then hugged her slender legs and said, "My dear wife, please don't be angry. I know I've been missing for the past few years. It's my fault. But I was doing important business. I've been tracking down the Aurora and even forced it to show itself. If they hadn't shown themselves so quickly, their strength wouldn't have been fully developed. They wouldn't have been defeated so easily. I've done my part, so please don't be angry with me. I promise that after the Oda Seiji incident is over, I will never run away again. I'll stay with you. I won't go anywhere else, okay? As for the Empress Dowager, I know it's impossible between us. She deeply loves the Yehenara noble and will never give me a second glance. And Xi'er and Xi'er are already married. I'm a grandfather now. How could I still have feelings for the Empress Dowager? It's just that she's still so young and beautiful that I can't help but look at her."
After speaking, Wang Yang couldn't help but look pitifully at Qinghua. The Empress Dowager was beautiful and refined, with an air of nobility. Although she was already a grandmother, she still maintained herself like a young girl. His first wife, Qinghua, was no less stunning than the Empress Dowager, still possessing unparalleled beauty, which made many people in the martial arts world secretly admire her.
"In the blink of an eye, you're already a grandfather, and I'm a grandmother." As Wang Yang held her legs, tenderness appeared in Qinghua's eyes.
"Yes, time flies. I still remember when we were young, you were always chasing me, and I avoided you like the plague. I still remember when you were pregnant with Xi'er, and we were being chased by Emperor Zhao and Longpao, and I was spitting blood after being struck by Longpao's palm. Those scenes seem like they were just yesterday." Wang Yang smiled.
"What are your plans after killing Oda Seiji?" Aohana asked after thinking for a moment.
"After killing Oda Seiji, let's leave the Wang family to Xi'er and Xi'er. Then, together with Chen Ke and An You, and my sworn brothers, let's go into seclusion and live a secluded life," Wang Yang said after thinking for a moment.
“I have the same thought.” Qinghua nodded gently.
“Yes, we’ll stay in the family for a year and help An Yao and Wang Che with their life-changing matters. Now we should leave. You know about Wang You and Liu Li. Liu Li is innocent and naive, and Wang You loves her deeply. If we don’t stand up for them, the family will probably fall into chaos,” Wang Yang said.
“Xi’er, he can handle this matter very well too,” Qinghua said.
"Let's see what Xi'er does." Taking out a pocket watch from his pocket, Wang Yang looked at the chubby boy in the watch and his eyes showed affection.
"Our Aurora's influence in China has been completely wiped out. How much influence do we have left in the world?" After Oda Seiji led the six great demons to escape to India, he glanced at his severed arm and said fiercely.
“There are still 50,000 left,” Xiao Xigui said.
"I have never been so humiliated before. I, Oda Seiji, have never been so humiliated before. I will never lose to Wang Yang. I, Oda Seiji, will never be defeated!" With a loud roar, Oda Seiji suddenly couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Lord Demon King, the abbot of Shaolin has already inflicted internal injuries on you with a single strike of the Bodhidharma Sword. Why don't we flee for a few more days and fight again once your injuries have healed a bit..." Konishi Kido said, glancing at the blood that Oda Seiji had coughed up.
"No, I'd rather die fighting than retreat any further!" Upon hearing Konishi Kido's words, Oda Seiji couldn't help but vomit several more mouthfuls of blood...
Chapter 389 Wang Xi Offers a Plan
"Father, since Oda Seiji fled to the Arata River area, the number of Aurora's troops has begun to increase again. From the afternoon before last until this morning, Aurora has regrouped to about 40,000 people, and it is still increasing. If the intelligence that Suzaku gave us is accurate, Aurora has a total of 50,000 troops worldwide, and their number will increase to about 50,000." The royal army, which had already infiltrated India, was now stationed ten kilometers opposite Oda Seiji's camp on the Arata River.
The Alata River is an underground river in the Gobi Desert. Decades ago, this underground river stopped flowing, leaving only endless stones and sparse wild grass.
After listening to Wang You's words, Wang Yang walked out of the main camp, picked up his binoculars, and looked towards Oda Seiji's main camp across the way. At that moment, he could see more and more small camps near Oda Seiji's main camp, and at the same time, some people with yellow skin dressed in military uniforms were wiping their weapons.
Oda Seiji's subordinates within China have all been wiped out; the next battle will involve dealing with his entire global influence. This battle will be the ultimate showdown between Wang Yang and Oda Seiji. Even though Oda Seiji has lost an arm and suffered internal injuries during their pursuit, he is still not to be underestimated. This decisive battle is no longer an ordinary struggle within the martial arts world; it is war—a war filled with the smoke and fire of battle.
Surrounding Wang Yang are many masters from the world's top forces. However, they are merely martial arts experts, not soldiers who regularly wield guns in battle. On the battlefield, no matter how strong an individual is, their impact is insignificant. Even with the highest martial arts skills, one will fall to the ground under enemy bullets.
After gazing silently at Oda Seiji's camp across the way for a long time, Wang Yang couldn't help but put down his binoculars and say, "This place is vast and open. If a battle really breaks out here, I don't know how many soldiers my Wang family will lose."
Hearing Wang Yang's words, Liang Bin, Leng Yan, An Yao, Wang Che, Wang Huan, Wang You, and other experts standing beside him all frowned slightly. Wang Yang was right. Because there was no cover here, if a fight broke out, it would be impossible for our side to avoid casualties. Our soldiers, the sons of the Wang family, were all orphans adopted by Wang Yang, children who had lost their parents due to war and disaster. They grew up in the Wang family, trained by the Wang family's army and martial arts school. They were the Wang family's adopted sons, and also our brothers and sisters. The death of any one of them would cause us unbearable heartache.
Even if Oda Seiji's entire army of 50,000 is wiped out, and we lose 5,000, it would be meaningless for us to defeat Oda Seiji.
Just as Wang Yang sighed, Hurricane suddenly strode over from a distance and said, "Master, the young master has returned with Li Bihui."
"Xi'er, he's back?" Wang Yang's eyes lit up when he heard Hurricane's words.
"Yes." Hurricane nodded vigorously, his face full of excitement.
As soon as Hurricane finished speaking, I appeared before them with Li Bihui and Wang She. Looking at my father, mother, master, and my younger siblings with excitement, I glanced at Xi'er and immediately went over to hug her tightly. "Wife, I'm back."
"Brother!" When they saw me come back, Wang Huan, Wang Che, and my brothers all came over and hugged me tightly.
Before this final battle, I was finally reunited with my younger siblings. This time, An Yao, Wang Che, Wang Huan, Wang You, Liu Li, and Wang Yu, we were finally able to fight side by side together.
After a brief moment of excitement, I went into the camp to look at the sand table and asked, "What's the situation now? Does Oda Seiji still have quite a few troops abroad? When I arrived just now, I wiped out a small group of Aurora troops that Oda Seiji had sent to reinforce. How many troops do they have in total now?"
“Fifty thousand. That’s all of Oda Seiji’s forces overseas,” Wang You immediately told me.
"So many?" After hearing Wang You's words, I picked up my father's binoculars and looked towards Oda Seiji's camp across the way.
Looking over, I saw Konishi Kido across from us looking at us through binoculars. After exchanging a glance with him, I immediately gave him a disdainful gesture and put the binoculars down.
“Brother, Oda Seiji’s 50,000 troops overseas aren’t actually that many. You should know that he already had 30,000 troops in China. In terms of the number of experts, China has the most in the world. Compared to the experts they have left in China, their overseas experts are few in number and not of very high quality,” Wang You said.
"Hmm, that's not many. I didn't realize China was so strong. But this place is vast and open, so if a war breaks out, we'll definitely suffer casualties. How many allies do we have now? How many soldiers do our Wang family and our martial arts brothers have combined?" I asked.
“Because Oda Seiji is a demon king, it is the responsibility of all our countries to deal with him. This time, in the pursuit of Oda Seiji, our various forces have a total of 10,000 members, all of whom are god-level experts. The Wang family’s ten martial arts halls have 2,000 members, and the Wang family’s army has 20,000 members, making our total 32,000,” Wang You said.
“Thirty-two thousand against fifty thousand. We don’t have that many people. And their quality is uneven, unlike Oda Seiji’s men, who are mostly clones and have better cohesion. If we start fighting like this, it will be a bloodbath, and we’ll probably lose a lot of our brothers.” I lit a cigarette and thought for a moment before saying this.
“Brother, you think the same way as Father,” Wang You said.
"Hmm." I nodded. I stepped outside the camp and looked around before continuing, "This is India, not our royal family's homeland. In the battle against Oda Seiji, we only brought light weapons and some simple heavy weapons; our royal family couldn't bring tanks or planes. In terms of weaponry, we're not like Oda Seiji, those desperate outlaws who came to India and even had several heavy artillery pieces brought along. If a war breaks out, I'll be heartbroken if even one of my royal family's brothers dies. Moreover, we sneaked into India with so many people and weapons; if India finds out, they'll definitely expel us. If we contact India through normal channels, by the time they send troops, Oda Seiji's injuries might have healed, or they might have already escaped. It won't be easy; this battle will be difficult."
After saying that, I shook my head and sighed.
“Brother, this battle is indeed difficult. Just like you said, by the time we get in touch with the Indian army to help deal with Oda Seiji, he may have already recovered from his injuries and escaped.” Wang You’s eyes turned cold.
"Damn, fighting Oda Seiji is too much trouble. He's a member of the royal family's elite troops. I can't bear to see even one of them die. How about we just give up?" I said to Wang You with a smile.
"Not fighting?" Wang You looked at me in surprise after hearing my words.
At the same time, Leng Yan, Liang Bin, Nie Xiaohai, Long Yuan, and many other experts present were all astonished. After a brief silence, Nie Xiaohai looked at me in surprise and said, "Brother Xi, Oda Seiji is the world's number one expert, so it's understandable that he's difficult to defeat. But if we don't take him down, we'll all be in trouble again. Calm down, let's discuss this carefully. With so many of us, we're sure we can come up with a perfect plan to take down Oda Seiji."
"Xi'er, how is your injury?" my father asked me.
Hearing my father's words, I immediately smiled and said, "Father, the treasure you gave me is wonderful! Three Thousand Spirit Grasses, one Thousand Spirit Fruit, and countless other precious herbs. There are also some refined pills. Li Bihui and I spent more than half a month recuperating from our injuries there, and now our strength has returned to its peak. If I could give those spirit herbs to Xi'er to refine, and after taking the pills she made and cultivating diligently for two more months, I would definitely become a master of the Heartbeat Stage."
"That's right. A master in the Heartbeat Stage has become aware of cultivation. It's easy to go from the Fusion Stage to the Heartbeat Stage, but it's very difficult to go from the Heartbeat Stage to the Golden Core Stage. And the spiritual energy on our Earth is limited. We probably won't be able to become immortals in our lifetime. But if we cultivate for ten years and become a Golden Core Stage master, that's already quite good. That Oda Seiji looks like he's only in his thirties, but he's actually over fifty. He only became a peak Golden Core Master in his fifties. It's already quite good that you've become Heartbeat Stage masters at such a young age. As for your idea of not fighting, are you serious?" My father smiled as he looked at me.
"I'm serious, I'm not fighting," I said.
"Haha, good, I support you!" My father patted my shoulder and said immediately after hearing what I said.
"Master, you also agree with Xi'er's opinion, not to fight?" Liang Bin, one of the ten martial arts hall elders, asked in surprise after hearing his father's words.
“Of course I agree.” Smiling, the father pulled out a large cigarette from his pocket and lit it.
“Excellent, this plan is excellent. If that’s the case, my Wang family members might be able to defeat Oda Seiji without losing a single soldier.” After thinking for a moment, Wang You smiled.
"Brother, we've gone through so much trouble to catch up with them here and wiped out most of Oda Seiji's forces. Wouldn't it be a shame to give up now?" Ruri asked in surprise after hearing our words.
"Sister, you will soon understand what Father and Brother mean." With a smile on his face, Wang Yu hugged Liuli's petite body and laughed.
Chapter 390 The Ultimate Battle
"Why did they retreat? Why didn't they attack us?" Sitting in the main camp, Oda Seiji was at a loss, watching the royal army vanish completely that morning. He summoned the six Heavenly Demons, along with the Azure Dragon and White Tiger, to discuss the matter.
"Lord Heavenly Demon King, I have thoroughly studied many Chinese military strategies and believe that Wang Yang and his group are using a strategy of feigned retreat. We are samurai with dreams of unification, and we are the Wang family's greatest enemies. They will certainly not let us go. If we see them retreating, we will use this opportunity to move to other countries. They will definitely bring men to pursue us and ambush our forces on the way. With minimal losses, they will deplete a large portion of our retreating forces." Heitendo sat upright, his face solemn as he spoke to Oda Seiji.
“But if we don’t fight and India finds out we exist, they will send a large number of police and military forces to deal with us. Right now, we are not strong enough to compete with national powers. If India launches a campaign to encircle and annihilate us, we may find it difficult to leave here and reach Africa,” Xiao west Guidao said after thinking for a moment.
"What do you think?" Oda Seiji asked after thinking for a moment after listening to Heitendou and Konishikido's words.
“If we stay, we’ll be wiped out by India. If we flee, we’ll be hunted down by the royal army. It’s better to suffer some losses to preserve the strength of our main force. If we can escape to Africa, we’ll definitely have a chance to repeat the same mistakes,” Yuan Rendao said after thinking for a moment.
“Gen-kun. This isn’t a repeat of past mistakes, it’s a comeback.” Takeda Jigoku frowned and reminded Gen-jin.
“Yes, it’s a comeback,” Yuanrendao quickly replied.
