The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

Pointless.

"Alright, then we're off."

Without lingering, the group carried the unconscious Fu Rong out of Biyou Village...

Chapter 321 Police Check

"Everyone, the Quanxing people have come out of Biyou Village." Just as the temporary workers of Nadutong were busy with Chen Duo's matter, Gao Erzhuang, who had been paying attention to the movements of Ishihara Zhang and other Quanxing members, suddenly sent a message in the group.

"They're out? So fast?" Hua Zhong's black piper asked in surprise.

"Did you find anything?" Wang Zhenqiu asked curiously.

"Yes." With that, Gao Erzhuang sent out several surveillance photos that appeared to have been taken from the surveillance footage.

"There's an extra woman and an old man. And the old man looks really strange."

"This is... my grandfather!?" Zhang Chulan's expression changed as he looked at the old man in the photo in the group chat on his phone. He zoomed in on the image, staring at the figure that was no longer very clear but whose general outline could still be made out, and exclaimed in surprise.

“That’s right. Although he looks different, I’m sure it’s your grandfather, Zhang Xilin.” Feng Baobao leaned closer and looked at the old man in the photo with certainty.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Chulan did not hesitate any longer and immediately asked in the chat group, "Erzhuang, where is the person in the photo now?"

"What? Do people in North China have ideas?" Wang Zhenqiu asked in surprise.

"Don't forget our mission," Northwest reminded him.

"I haven't forgotten my mission, but I have something more important to deal with! Because the old man who suddenly appeared in the photo is my grandfather, and he's been dead for many years. Until recently, his body was stolen, and I've been searching for his whereabouts ever since, but I never expected..."

"Dead people? Corpses? Corpse control magic?" Black Pipe said thoughtfully.

"If that's the case..."

“When I found them, they had just entered Liupanshui. As for where they are now… wait a minute, let me take a look,” Gao Erzhuang replied.

"Thank you for your help, Erzhuang," Zhang Chulan said gratefully.

Moreover, Erzhuang was very quick; in just a moment, he sent another set of pictures.

“They are now…” Gao Erzhuang then sent an address.

"They're from North China, do they need our help?" Wang Zhenqiu asked.

"Thank you, but this is my personal matter. Let me handle it myself first. I'll ask you for help when I really can't do anything else," Zhang Chulan replied after thinking for a moment.

After all, his opponent was Quanxing, the most elite part of Quanxing, including the sect leader, the Three Corpses, the Four Madmen, and the Two Heroes. Even if he was impulsive, he would not fail to recognize the gap between himself and his opponent. Therefore, he did not completely rule out the matter.

"Okay, remember to call us if you need anything."

“Quanxing… I think they should be able to give me a good meal,” Xiao Zizai said.

"..."

……

Meanwhile, after a long journey, the group settled down in a hotel in Liupanshui city.

"Is this your new prey?" Xia He looked at Fu Rong, who had been thrown onto the bed, and said to Ishihara Sho beside her in a nonchalant tone.

“Yes.” Ishihara Akira smiled.

"Aren't you afraid that she'll castrate you after she wakes up?" Xia He continued to complain.

Fu Rong's strength was evident to her when she was in Biyou Village. While not top-tier, she was still very strong among the younger generation, belonging to the level below elites like Zhang Lingyu, Zhuge Qing, Wang Ye, and Zhang Chulan. Calling her first-rate wouldn't be an exaggeration.

Furthermore, since she cultivates sword-qi-based techniques, her destructive power is far superior to those who bully others with their superpowers. In any case, Xia He doesn't think she can gain any advantage over Fu Rong if they really face each other.

"So, we'll have to rely on your muscle breathing technique later," Ishihara Akira replied.

"..."

Then Ishihara Akira stepped forward and woke up the unconscious Fu Rong.

"Am I captured by you?" Fu Rong woke up with a startled expression and immediately sat up in bed. She looked at Ishihara Sho, Xia He, Dou Mei, and Liu Yanyan standing there, and then looked at her current location before asking to confirm.

“Yes.” Ishihara Akira nodded.

“I’m not going to tell you anything,” Fu Rong replied immediately.

"Who told you I arrested you to ask about Biyou Village?" Shi Yuanzhang said with a laugh. "Whether it's Ma Xianhong or the extraordinary skill he possesses, I know just as much as you do. Why would I arrest you again for something I already know?"

"Then why did you arrest me?" Fu Rong asked, puzzled.

“Because I’ve taken a liking to you,” Ishihara Sho replied.

"What did you say?" Fu Rong asked in surprise.

She never imagined that the reason for her arrest would be so absurd.

"You heard me right, because I've taken a liking to you and want you to be my woman." Ishihara Akira walked up to Fu Rong, touched her face, and smiled.

Because her meridians were sealed, Fu Rong was temporarily unable to use sword energy, and could only wave her hand to open Ishihara Akira's palm like an ordinary woman.

“I disagree,” Fu Rong refused.

“When did I say I needed your consent?” Ishihara Sho chuckled. “Don’t forget, we are Quanxing.”

After saying that, she nodded to Xia He beside her, and Xia He directly injected a stream of energy combined with the power of the Slaanesh demon into Fu Rong's body. Not only did Fu Rong's cheeks immediately turn red, but she also became restless, as if she had insects on her body, and groped around all over...

"You're despicable!" Fu Rong shouted.

“I know,” Ishihara Akira laughed. “That’s why I never hide my desires or try to control them.”

As he spoke, Ishihara Akira walked up to Fu Rong again and placed his hand on her cheek.

Fu Rong dodged.

Ishihara Akira followed suit.

Just as the two were playing a game of cat and mouse, a rhythmic knocking sound suddenly came from the doorway.

Ishihara Akira waved his hand to knock Fu Rong unconscious, then gestured for Xia He to open the door.

"Kick!"

"Police are conducting a room check," the policeman at the door called out.

Following several police officers into the house, they saw the situation inside—Xia He, Dou Mei, Liu Yanyan, Shi Yuanzhang, and Fu Rong, who was unconscious on the bed. Judging from the scene before them, it really did seem like they were about to engage in some abnormal behavior.

Then a policeman walked up to Fu Rong and tried to call her name twice, but Fu Rong, who had been knocked unconscious by special methods, was not someone that could be woken up by an ordinary person.

So soon, all the police officers' expressions changed, and they shouted sternly at Ishihara Akira and the others, "Hands behind your heads, squat down to the side."

……

After a series of nonsensical questions and answers, the police escorted Xia He, Dou Mei, Liu Yanyan, and Shi Yuanzhang out of the hotel and into the police cars outside...

As for why Shi Yuanzhang didn't resist, he used hypnosis to cover it up entirely because the police arrived at such a convenient time. It didn't look like the police from Liupanshui conducting a raid, but rather like it was premeditated. That's why Shi Yuanzhang didn't take action, nor did he ask Xia He and the others to do so. He just let the police take him away like an ordinary person.

I just wanted to see if anyone was up to something behind the scenes!

Chapter 322 Taken Away

Not long after, in an interrogation room at the police station, Liu Yanyan sat alone in the seat for the person being interrogated.

Then, the tightly closed door opened, and Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao walked in through the door...

"It's you, shameless Zhang Chulan!" Liu Yanyan exclaimed in shock upon seeing Zhang Chulan's familiar face, "So, you're the one who orchestrated this? Why?"

“That’s right, I did it.” Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao sat down in the interrogator’s seats and said, “You know this person, right?”

As he spoke, Zhang Chulan took out a clear photo of Zhang Huaiyi that he had asked Gao Erzhuang to get, printed it out, and held it up in front of Liu Yanyan.

"So that's why you did it," Liu Yanyan said, suddenly realizing.

"Tell me, where is my grandfather's body now?" Zhang Chulan asked in a deep voice.

"Why should I tell you?" Liu Yanyan asked nonchalantly, even with a hint of mockery.

"You!" Zhang Chulan was furious, but he didn't have many good options. After all, the only person who knew the whereabouts of his grandfather's body was this person from the Xiangxi corpse-driving family. Moreover, he could only attack her now, because Liu Yanyan was the weakest and someone he could easily control. If it were Ishihara Akira, the Quanxing sect leader who didn't know his own strength, even with Feng Baobao by his side, he might still capsize and get himself into trouble.

"I remember you're from the Liu family in Xiangxi, right? And you even joined Quanxing. Aren't you worried that your Liu family will be targeted by the company because of you?" Taking a few deep breaths and forcing himself to calm down, Zhang Chulan changed his demeanor, from serious to smiling, and said to Liu Yanyan as if they were chatting casually as acquaintances.

However, even someone as naive as Liu Yanyan could clearly discern the warning implied in those words.

"I have long since severed ties with my family," Liu Yanyan said coldly, her expression changing slightly.

"Who knows?" Zhang Chulan asked in return.

"What do you want to do?" Liu Yanyan asked coldly.

"What do you think?" Zhang Chulan chuckled as he held the phone. "Hey, Fourth Brother, can you contact the company in the Southwest and have them send some people over to help me bring Liu Yanyan back? By the way, have you finished analyzing Liu Yanyan's information? Since someone from the Liu family dared to join Quanxing, then don't blame the company for taking action against them. Perfect timing, corpse driving is really out of step with the pace of modern society; it's a feudal superstition that should be completely abolished. Let's take this opportunity to shut down the Liu family."

"How dare you!" Liu Yanyan roared angrily after hearing Zhang Chulan's words.

"Fourth Brother, you heard it too, that little girl from the Liu family has a really bad temper. She needs to be disciplined. Do you know of any labor reform projects in our company? I think we could arrange a few for Liu Yanyan to temper her temper and let her understand the harsh realities of society. What are you saying, Fourth Brother? I'm just doing this for her own good." Zhang Chulan chuckled and continued speaking into the phone.

"After all, compared to labor camps, following Quanxing can cost you your life. I think even if the Liu family finds out about this, they will only be grateful to me, not hold a grudge against me for this."

"Well, then I'll leave it to Fourth Brother."

"Okay, then I'll wait for the company people here."

Zhang Chulan then picked up the phone and placed it face down on the table.

“Since you don’t want to talk about it, let’s go back to the company and talk about it. That will save me the trouble.” Zhang Chulan smiled as he looked at Liu Yanyan, whose expression had changed.

He didn't know the Soul-Clearing Technique, but the company had no shortage of people skilled in interrogation. Who knows, there might be one or two who could get the whereabouts of his grandfather's body out of Liu Yanyan.

Liu Yanyan remained silent, staring intently at Zhang Chulan's face without saying a word.

The main reason was that Zhang Huaiyi's body was no longer in her possession, but with Ishihara Akira. Because it was really inconvenient to bring a body into the city, Ishihara Akira helped her put the body into her personal space as soon as she left the Biyou Village area.

Unexpectedly, Zhang Chulan acted in a very special way, directly using the power of the government. He used the pretext of people gathering to engage in prostitution in a hotel to mobilize the police to crack down on prostitution. Coupled with Fu Rong's unconscious state, she was now in a situation where she couldn't clear her name no matter what she did, so she could only be brought back by the police.

Not long after, people from the Southwest branch of NaDuTong arrived and took Liu Yanyan back...

As for Xia He, Dou Mei, and Shi Yuanzhang, they are all dangerous individuals. Let's leave them at the police station for now. We can find a reason to release them after Liu Yanyan is taken back to the company.

As for taking them back or something?
