The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

Therefore, after careful consideration, he forcibly suppressed his dissatisfaction and did not rashly go out to cause trouble for Ishihara Akira and others.

Of course, the main reason is that Ishihara Akira and the others are currently in a hotel, which is a densely populated area in the city center. It is really not suitable for the company and Quanxing people to take action there and expose the secret of the existence of the supernatural beings...

"What's going on?" Feng Baobao asked Zhang Chulan after he finished the call.

"The person has been rescued," Zhang Chulan sighed.

"What?" Feng Baobao asked in confusion.

“The Liu Yanyan we brought back with the help of the police was rescued from the company. Also taken away was the woman named Fu Rong, who was transferred there later,” Zhang Chulan explained. “In other words, all our previous preparations were wasted.”

"So what do we do now?" Feng Baobao asked again.

Although she always claimed to be incredibly clever at times, through her time with Zhang Chulan, she also realized that Zhang Chulan was significantly more astute than her at other times. Therefore, most of the time, Feng Baobao was quite willing to follow Zhang Chulan's instructions.

This was something Xu San and Xu Si had told her beforehand when they came to participate in this temporary work assignment.

Therefore, Feng Baobao has now become a lazy bum, basically avoiding using her brain as much as possible and leaving everything to Zhang Chulan to handle.

"Let's take care of things here first," Zhang Chulan said after thinking for a moment.

“That’s fine,” Feng Baobao agreed.

Since Zhang Huaiyi's body has been missing for quite some time, and judging from the previous situation, the other party is using his body as a guardian zombie, they certainly won't be careless about its safety and maintenance. Therefore, there's not much need to worry about the body's safekeeping. We can simply entrust the body to them for safekeeping for a while, and then take the time to retrieve Zhang Huaiyi's body after everything here is settled.

……

"Quanxing, Shiyuan, I hope Ma Xianhong is alright, otherwise, you can expect my revenge." At the same time, Qu Tong, who had already learned about what happened in Biyou Village from her subordinates, stood by the window of her high-rise apartment, gazing at the city lights outside, and muttered to herself with a gloomy expression.

Then, he took out his phone and made a call.

"It's me. I have something for you to do. Please convey to Longhu Mountain that Zhang Huaiyi's body is currently in the hands of Quanxing, and make sure the Old Celestial Master himself knows as much as possible. Yes. Go and arrange it. I just want the final result."

After saying that, Qu Tong hung up her phone, gave a cold laugh, and turned to go back to her room.

……

Similarly, after watching TV for a while, Ishihara Akira took out his phone again, connected to the internet, opened the phone's built-in memo function, and started typing on it with the keyboard—

"Gao Erzhuang, I know you're checking out my phone, don't play dead."

"Gao Erzhuang, I'm not talking to you right now. Don't you want to recover your body and live a normal life like a normal person?"

"Ding dong."

After a while, a notification from a WeChat friend startled Ishihara Sho, who was waiting for Gao Erzhuang's reaction. He opened WeChat, glanced at the profile picture, and couldn't help but smile.

Because the person who added him was none other than Gao Erzhuang, the temporary worker in the Northeast region whom he had previously tested with his phone.

Immediately afterward, Ishihara Akira added Gao Erzhuang as a friend, allowing the two to communicate directly on WeChat.

"How did you know I existed?" Gao Erzhuang asked directly.

“I also know your name is Gao Yushan,” Ishihara Akira typed with a smile.

"(Shocked expression) Who are you? I'm pretty sure I don't know anyone like you," Gao Erzhuang said in shock.

“I am your fiancé,” Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"Liar!"

“I can restore your health.” Ishihara Akira smiled and got to the point.

"I do not believe."

"Do you know about the Dual-Handed Technique?" Ishihara Sho asked rhetorically.

"Dual-wielding?"

"One of the Eight Extraordinary Skills, a method created by Senior Duanmu Ying of Jishetang, pursues the preservation of both body and life. As a disciple of the Quanzhen Wuliu School, I don't need to explain what the words 'body and life' mean, do I?"

“Of course I know what ‘life’ is. But how can you be so sure that the Double-Handed Technique can repair my body?” Gao Erzhuang questioned.

"Because I once turned someone into a human pig, and then witnessed him restore his health with his own eyes using the Double-Handed Technique. Your situation is worse than his, but it should still be within the range of the Double-Handed Technique's effectiveness... Anyway, you don't have many other options right now, so why not give it a try?"

"What do you want from me?" Gao Erzhuang asked after a moment of silence.

"I'm very curious about your abilities and would like to observe how they work in person. I wonder if that's possible?"

Chapter 325: High School Sophomore Strong

"Observe my ability? How do you observe that?" Gao Erzhuang asked in confusion.

Ishihara Akira didn't explain immediately. Instead, he took a selfie with his phone first. After sending the selfie, he continued, "See the photo I sent? That's me. You just need to visualize me in that photo using the methods of cultivating the Yin Spirit and visualization. Of course, if you're willing to have faith in me, the effect will be even better, and it will allow me to establish a connection with you more quickly. That way, I'll have a way to see you without alerting your surveillance."

"Is this some kind of foreign religious practice?" Gao Erzhuang asked hesitantly.

“If you understand it that way, you’re not wrong. However, I’m using things from Buddhism and the divine mask technique, so the core is still our native Qi cultivation method,” Ishihara Akira explained.

"Alright. Even if I can establish contact with you and let you see how my abilities work, how are you going to fulfill your promise to help me restore my body?" Gao Erzhuang didn't dwell on it too much, but instead asked the most crucial question.

"You've been monitoring me for so many days, you should know I have spatial abilities by now. Combined with the method I told you before to establish contact, I can appear near you directly when needed. You just need to tell your father, the head of the Northeast region, about the situation beforehand and have him remove the employees monitoring you. Then I'll have a chance to help you recover your body," Ishihara Akira typed with a smile.

"Are you sure you only need to see how my superpower works?" Gao Erzhuang asked hesitantly.

The main problem was that the effort and the reward were disproportionate, and it felt too good to be true, which made her uneasy and always suspect that Ishihara Akira had ulterior motives.

After all, her abilities are undeniable. In the modern world, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a god of the internet. If used properly, her influence on society and the country would be far more significant than that of a mere superhuman. Therefore, it's no wonder that she can't easily trust others and views everyone's actions with suspicion.

"Don't worry, I don't have antisocial personality disorder or anti-humanity. I joined Quanxing only because Quanxing's philosophy makes it easier for me to get what I want—for example, the previous Biyou Village was to obtain another of the Eight Extraordinary Skills from Ma Xianhong—Divine Machine Hundred Refinements. Now that I have achieved my goal, there is naturally no need to continue to cause trouble. If you don't believe me, you can send other temporary workers to Biyou Village to see if I have gone on a killing spree there."

"...Alright, I'll have someone verify what happened over there. If it's true..." Gao Erzhuang didn't continue his description, and he fell completely silent as if he had lost power.

Naturally, Ishihara Yu didn't press her any further.

Although he was indeed envious of Gao Erzhuang's abilities, he also understood that things had priorities and that he couldn't force things. He needed to be careful, like cooking soup, and so he stopped contacting Gao Erzhuang and continued watching the TV program in front of him.

Shortly after, four people, some wrapped only in towels and others wearing bathrobes, emerged from the bathroom and came into view of Ishihara Kaname…

……

"Here, the password is six sixes." The next morning, Ishihara Akira tossed a bank card in front of Fu Rong, who was still resting in bed, and said in a low voice.

"What do you mean by this? Compensation?" Fu Rong said angrily.

What kind of person do they take her for?

Is Fu Rong someone who's short of money?

"This is to help you clear your debts," Shi Yuanzhang said with a smile. "Since I said I had my eye on you, how could I not have investigated your personal situation? I know very well how much debt you have on your hands right now... Although it's not a lot, only seven or eight hundred thousand, it's definitely not something you can pay off in a short time. Otherwise, you wouldn't have run away and joined Biyou Village to avoid those debt collectors and their calls."

"..." Fu Rong remained silent for a long while before turning her head and saying, "I don't need you to pay my debts."

"Don't be stubborn. You should know that you're mine now, so naturally your debts are mine too. Here's a million. Use it to pay off all those loans, and then use the rest to buy some things for your family as compensation. After all, you've been gone for so long, they must be extremely worried, plus those debt collectors calling... you can imagine what your family's situation is right now."

Fu Rong remained silent, but her grip on the bank card tightened.

"So listen to me, use this money to pay off the debt first, so I can take you around without worry, right?" Ishihara Akira said with a smile.

"...Thank you." After a long silence, Fu Rong finally spoke, her voice weak and barely audible if one wasn't paying attention.

Ishihara Akira smiled, rubbed Fu Rong's head, and stood up from the bed.

"Once you've rested, wash up as soon as possible. After all, I brought you back from the company. Who knows what the company might do if you stay too long?" So, just in case, it's best to move as soon as possible.

"I see."

After sitting for a while, Fu Rong got up and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Ishihara Akira went to another room and met Shen Chong, Gao Ning, Tu Junfang, Lü Liang, and Ding Shian, who had been notified to come.

"I've finished taking care of my business, everyone can disperse now," said Ishihara Akira, sitting down directly on the chair that had been set aside.

……

And so, that afternoon, Shen Chong, Gao Ning, Tu Junfang, Lü Liang, Ding Shian, and others left Liupanshui one after another, disappearing from the sight of ordinary people in their own ways.

Then, Shi Yuanzhang didn't stay in Liupanshui any longer. He called Xia He, Liu Yanyan, Dou Mei, and the newly joined Fu Rong, and left Qianzhou for the ends of the earth, preparing to spend the rest of his time in the world of Under One Person there.

If his conjecture is indeed correct.

So Ishihara Akira didn't hold back and rented a villa there after arriving at the ends of the earth, where he and the girls stayed.

Then, Ishihara Akira found the cultivation method of the sorcerer lineage that he had discovered while organizing the cultivation methods in the Quanzhen Sect's scripture library. After greeting the others, he decisively entered cultivation mode and began practicing the sorcerer's skills—

The first step is to enter a meditative state.

This was incredibly easy for Ishihara Akira, who had already mastered the Four Dhyanas and Eight Samadhis and had the help of the dream world. He entered the meditative state required by the sorcerer's technique in just a few breaths, and then instinctively activated the sorcerer's technique, allowing the Qi to circulate throughout his meridians...

In a short while, Ishihara Akira entered a strange space that looked like the boundless void in his dream world. He felt a power that was hard to describe, but he didn't know if it was the way of heaven. With a change of mind, he used the methods of the Heavenly Demon to erode the space in front of him and affect the mysterious power that filled the inner world.

Answer to Chapter 326

"Whose call was that?" Xia He, dressed in a bikini and sunbathing on a beach chair by the pool outside the villa, asked Liu Yan, who was dressed similarly but looked unwell.

“My dad’s,” Liu Yanyan replied.

"They called you back?" Xia He grabbed a chilled drink from the side and took a sip before asking.

"They questioned me about why I joined Quanxing, and from who-knows-where they got the information that Zhang Huaiyi's body was in my hands. They told me to immediately take the body back and then go with them to Longhu Mountain to apologize to the Old Celestial Master." Liu Yanyan explained why she looked so pale.

"Yes, how did your father know that Zhang Huaiyi's body was in your hands?" Fu Rong, dressed in a black bikini and splashing around in the pool, put her arms on the tiles at the edge of the pool and looked at Liu Yanyan not far away with a puzzled expression.

“I asked him, and he said that people from Longhu Mountain came to our door. That’s when he found out that I had joined Quanxing and that I had stolen Zhang Huaiyi’s body,” Liu Yanyan replied.

"Then how did Longhu Mountain know that Zhang Huaiyi's body was in your hands?" Dou Mei, dressed relatively conservatively in a purple backless swimsuit that looked like a competitive swimsuit, walked over and asked in confusion.

“Yes, how did the people from Longhu Mountain know?” Liu Yanyan asked, equally puzzled.

"Could it be because of the Biyou Village incident? After all, there was such a big commotion in Biyou Village, and so many people involved. Maybe one of them is connected to Longhu Mountain," Fu Rong said, pushing herself up from the pool.

“It could also be Zhang Chulan,” Xia He chimed in.

After all, Zhang Chulan had caused them trouble by calling the police when they were in Liupanshui, and he had also clearly stated that he knew his grandfather's body was in Liu Yanyan's hands, but he just couldn't get it back from her. In addition, given that Shi Yuanzhang had infiltrated the company to rescue people, knowing that he couldn't get his grandfather's body back by relying on the company, he might as well directly report the news to the Old Master and ask the Old Master to help him get his grandfather's body back.

"So what are you planning to do now?" Fu Rong grabbed a towel from the side, dried her hair as she walked over and asked.

"Where's Ishihara? Hasn't he come out yet?" Liu Yanyan asked Dou Mei, who was the last to emerge.

"No," Dou Mei shook her head.
