The Demon King, reborn in Japan as a monk

The two then found an inn to stay temporarily and recuperate. Once they were fully recovered, Ishihara Akira and his clone split up and searched for the whereabouts of the Spear and Shovel Twin Flying Feathers.

Various wide-range sensing and eavesdropping techniques are used to continuously sweep through the surrounding area like a plow.

Finally, after spending about two days, Ishihara Akira confirmed the whereabouts of the Spear and Shovel Twin Flying Feathers in a brothel in a town near Dongting Lake.

At that moment, he was drinking and playing with women in a brothel with several men...

Then Ishihara Akira summoned his clone, who, without saying a word, sneaked into the brothel.

However, he did not make a move immediately. Instead, he acted like an ordinary guest, inviting a few courtesans to accompany him for drinks and music, enjoying himself while waiting for Zhan Yu to carry the woman to his room.

The two didn't have to wait too long. About two hours later, Zhan Yu shakily stood up from his chair and, supported by two disheveled women, went upstairs to a room to rest...

Then, the other men did the same, either carrying one or two women as they left the banquet and went to the girls' rooms to commit indecent acts.

……

Ishihara Akira gave his flesh clone a wink, and the clone released the girl beside him, got up and left his seat. It naturally came to the outside of Zhan Yu's room, broke the wooden latch inside with its true energy, and then flashed into the room. Without hesitation, it launched an attack on Zhan Yu, who was having an affair with two women on the bed.

Of course, he could also choose to launch a sneak attack, and with the methods he inherited from Ishihara Sho, he could ensure that Zhan Yu wouldn't be able to detect him before being attacked, but what would be the point?

After all, he was created to test the effects of the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique, and he was released this time for training. In other words, he needs to fight, and he also needs women. Since he has such a suitable opponent, why would he need to launch a sneak attack?

It's not like Ishihara Sho's side is unable to hold its own.

At the same time, Zhan Yu, who was being attacked, snapped out of his drunken state. With a surge of internal energy, he decisively grabbed the woman in front of him and threw her at his flesh and blood clone, intending to use her life to buy some time so that he could calmly deal with the enemy.

He truly lives up to his reputation as a blacklist figure; he's incredibly ruthless.

Seeing this, the flesh and blood clone immediately used the Tai Chi style to support itself with its palm, catching the flying woman. Then, with a twist, it skillfully tossed her aside. It then used the same method to put down another woman, and then suddenly contracted its chest and abdomen, using the Tai Chi cotton body technique to absorb the palm force of Zhan Yu that was attacking closely behind the woman.

"boom!"

The clothes on the back of the flesh-and-blood clone burst open, revealing his strong back.

The flesh and blood clone then grabbed the wrist behind Zhan Yu's hand that was pressed against his chest, looked up at Zhan Yu, and its powerful mental energy instantly rushed into Zhan Yu's mind.

"Buzz!"

Chapter 399 Taken

How to describe the world of "Turning Clouds and Overturning Rain"? Although, in terms of its system, it is a martial arts story world that continues from the stories of "Legend of the Borderlands," "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty," "The Sun and Moon in the Sky," and "Shattered Void," when it comes to the quality of the masters...

This is similar to how the masters in Jin Yong's martial arts novels become less skilled with each generation, decreasing gradually over time.

Take the Innate Realm for example. In the world of Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty, almost everyone with a great reputation in the martial arts world or the leader of a force starts at the Innate Realm. Excellent people can reach the Grandmaster level, and the highest level can reach the Great Grandmaster level. But what about in the world of Turning Clouds and Overturning Rain?

While innate talent may not be rare, most so-called masters in the martial arts world are still at the acquired level. Even a high-ranking master like Poison Hand Qianluo, who might be very strong in actual combat, only broke through to the innate level after seeing Lang Fanyun and Pang Ban.

It can be said that the overall level of the martial arts world is not as high as it was during the time of The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty.

However, the quality of the top experts is quite exaggerated. There are people like Pang Ban who stand at the pinnacle of the Grandmaster level, and Lang Fanyun who are comparable to him. They are even more than Ning Daoqi from The Legend of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty and Song Que later on. Basically, if Xiang Yutian, who has disappeared and whose fate is unknown, does not come out, the situation will probably not be very good if the two worlds really fight.

This gives an idea of ​​Zhan Yu's mental state, given his reputation as a bandit with the nickname "Spear and Shovel Twins." He wasn't even a Xiantian (innate level) cultivator, let alone Shi Yuanzhang. Even Shi Yuanzhang's flesh and blood clone was no match for him. With a surge of mental energy, Zhan Yu became completely dazed. Coupled with the effects of the alcohol remaining in his body, he was knocked out of the brothel by the flesh and blood clone in just a few moves. He fell through the broken window onto the street behind the brothel, kicking up some dust.

Then Ishihara Sho and his flesh clone appeared beside Zhan Yu, who was only wearing a pair of pants. They each grabbed one of Zhan Yu's shoulders and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to leave the scene, disappearing from the sight of all the onlookers.

……

"How is it?" Ishihara Sho, who had reappeared at the spot where the flesh clone had been initially placed, casually used Earth Release to create a few stone stools and sat down, asking the flesh clone beside him.

Of course, the question wasn't about his physical condition, but rather about the feedback he received from the battle.

"The opponent was too weak. Although there were some gains, they were so small as to be negligible," the flesh and blood clone replied, sitting down as well.

"You shouldn't have used mental techniques. After all, the world of 'Overturning the Clouds and Rain' isn't the Tang Dynasty. The mental strength of the martial arts masters in this world is quite weak. Apart from the Demon Master Pang Ban, Qin Mengyao, and the Tibetan Lama lineage practitioners, almost no one is our match in terms of mental strength..."

This also includes demonic masters like Shan Yuru, who is skilled in using seductive arts.

"So when we're active in the Central Plains, we should try to use mental combat methods less often and try martial arts more," Ishihara Akira suggested.

"Fine," the flesh clone replied indifferently.

Anyway, he was just a clone, someone created by Ishihara Sho to test things. Even if he died, it wouldn't affect Ishihara Sho much, so he wouldn't care too much about his own life, and therefore wouldn't care about whether he was bound by his own will or not.

"What are your plans for the future?" Ishihara Akira asked again.

"Head west along the official road, challenge all the martial arts masters and sects you pass by, and while you're at it, take those women who are slightly less attractive than you and use them to activate your demonic seed. Then go into Tibet, find the Living Buddha to spar with him on mental combat techniques, and see if you can get your hands on the Heaven-Shattering Earth-Striking Technique and the Tibetan Tantric Wisdom Book. After that, turn east, go to the grasslands first, and cause trouble for Pang Ban. Regardless of the outcome, return to the Central Plains to challenge Lang Fanyun... By then, I think I should be able to cultivate the Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique to the eleventh step of the Demon Transformation Realm..." The flesh and blood clone explained his next action plan.

“Alright. But don’t forget to collect the five elements of primordial energy along the way. After all, if I’m on my own, I don’t know how long it will take to collect enough primordial energy,” Ishihara Akira instructed.

Although his ability to gather the primordial energy of heaven and earth, the spiritual energy of all things, and even the essence of stars has greatly improved and his speed has increased significantly due to his understanding of the War God's Manual, the quality of what he gathers has not improved much. While it can be used for cultivation, it falls far short of achieving the perfect innate five elements cycle that Ishihara Akane pursues.

谷楃

Therefore, the collected Five Elements Qi still needs to be refined further.

For example, the pure earth element energy is refined into the energy of Wu Earth and Ji Earth.

The water element is represented by Ren and Gui.

The fire element, represented by the Bing and Ding fires, is like this.

The amount of Five Elements Qi required is considerable. Without proper preparation, the Qi he has collected might not even be enough for his physical body in the real world to use for a single cultivation session by the time he leaves.

"understood."

Afterwards, the two talked for a while, and then the flesh and blood clone got up first to say goodbye and leave, quickly disappearing from Ishihara Akira's sight.

As for Ishihara Akira, after looking up at the sky, he got up, picked up the unconscious Zhan Yu at his feet, and used the Flying Thunder God Technique to appear directly in Ning Bicui's room, who was already in bed resting...

……

Ishihara Sho released a slight aura, which maliciously enveloped Ning Bicui, who was lying on the bed.

Ning Bicui's skin tightened instantly, her heart skipped a beat, and she opened her eyes, waking up from her dream. She sat up and saw Ishihara Akira standing not far from her bedside, carrying someone.

However, before she could speak, Shi Yuanzhang threw the person in his hand in front of Ning Bicui and said, "Take a look, is this the Zhan Yu you wanted?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Bicui immediately forgot what she had intended to say, quickly got up, walked to the humanoid figure on the ground, and turned it over to examine its face—

"That's right, it's this guy. I'll never forget that face, even if I become a ghost." After a moment, Ning Bicui said with a resentful voice.

"Then he's yours. You can do whatever you want with him. Anyway, I'll come back to pick you up in three days to keep my promise," Ishihara Akira said to Ning Bicui, who had already stood up again.

“Okay.” Ning Bicui agreed without hesitation.

"Then we'll see each other again in three days." With that, Ishihara Akira's figure flashed and suddenly disappeared into thin air.

Ning Bicui calmed down for a moment before turning her gaze back to Zhan Yu at her feet. As the leader of the Danqing Sect and a young master with considerable reputation in the martial arts world, she could naturally tell whether Zhan Yu was dead or alive. She took two steps back, sat back on the bed, and began to seriously consider how to deal with Zhan Yu.

Sending the severed head to her father's grave as a sacrifice was essential, but that only applied when Zhan Yu was dead. While he was still alive, she had to carefully consider how to deal with him to vent the hatred in her heart.

Oh, right, I also need to hand over the affairs of the Danqing Sect. After all, I'll be following Shiyuan Zhang later, and who knows where I'll be taken? I can't let the Danqing Sect fall into chaos because of me. So I have to hand over the position of sect leader. I don't know if so-and-so is capable of taking on the role...

Chapter 400 Demonic Chaos

Three days later, under the watchful eyes of many elders, disciples, and the new sect leader of Danqing Sect, Shi Yuanzhang and Ning Bicui walked step by step into the sky and entered the spaceship that had been specially placed twenty meters above Danqing Sect to demonstrate their strength. They then controlled the spaceship to ascend and gradually disappeared from the sight of the Danqing Sect disciples.

"Sect Leader, has he become an immortal?" a disciple of the Danqing Sect murmured upon seeing this.

"Even if they didn't become immortals, they still entered the immortal sect and gained immortal opportunities. It's truly enviable," another disciple chimed in.

"Sigh, what can we do if we're not the sect leader?"

"What are you all still doing here? Have you practiced your skills? Have you finished your work?" Upon hearing his disciples' discussion, the newly appointed leader of the Danqing Sect instantly lost all joy at becoming the leader and sternly reprimanded the surrounding Danqing disciples.

The disciples dared not say a word, and they all shrank back into the sect, finding a secluded spot to continue their discussion.

In any case, this trend is unlikely to be suppressed in the short term.

……

Meanwhile, having basically achieved his goal, Ishihara Akira finally set his sights on Cihang Jingzhai.

"You're going to Jingzhai?" Jin Bingyun frowned upon hearing Ishihara Akira's next plan.

"Can't I?" Shi Yuanzhang asked with a smile, holding Zhuang Qingshuang in his arms and squeezing the white marble that he couldn't quite grasp with one hand.

"Who are you planning to target this time?" Jin Bingyun pressed.

Although she hadn't been following Ishihara Akira for very long, it wasn't short either. She knew that every action Ishihara Akira took was purposeful. For example, going to cause trouble for the Xining Sect was to bring Zhuang Qingshuang up; going to the Misty Valley was for the sake of the dual cultivation master Gu Ningqing and the dual cultivation princess Gu Zixian; going to the Chuyun Nunnery was for Yun Su; going to the Danqing Sect was for Ning Bicui; and now she was going to the Cihang Jingzhai...

It's really hard not to make some connections to this.

In particular, Cihang Jingzai is a sect composed entirely of women. Because the main disciples all practice the sword manual, while they may not all be as beautiful as celestial beings, their temperament is absolutely unparalleled in the martial arts world, incomparable to ordinary women in the martial arts world.

Considering this further, and thinking about the cultivation method that Ishihara Akira practiced—the Great Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique—and the influence of the Great Dao Heart Demon Seed Technique on the immortal embryo he cultivated, Jin Bingyun increasingly felt that Ishihara Akira did not have any good intentions in going to Cihang Jingzhai this time.

"Of course it's your master, Yan Jing'an. Besides that, if there are any other disciples in your Jingzhai who catch my eye, I wouldn't mind finding you a few more sisters. Hmm, Qin Mengyao is definitely qualified, but I don't know her whereabouts. But it doesn't matter, once I've settled things with your master, I'll have him send her a message and ask her to come back." Shi Yuanzhang replied with a smile.

Jin Bingyun remained silent, unsure of what to do next.

The reason is simple: she had no way to deal with Ishihara Sho, just like she had no way to deal with Pang Ban back then. Both times, she felt powerless and helpless.

What's worth mentioning here is that, as the dual cultivation progresses, and with the interaction between the demonic seed and Jin Bingyun's immortal embryo, Jin Bingyun has not completely eliminated Pang Ban's influence on her, but she has almost completely shifted her attention to Ishihara Akira.

Just like when she faced Pang Ban.

There was no other way; the demonic seed simply had too much influence on the immortal embryo!

谷太

Moreover, given their current situation of spending every day together and sleeping in the same bed, even if Jin Bingyun didn't want to be changed, her mindset was subtly altered, causing her emotions to lean towards Ishihara Akira and making her accept him as her man...

……

Two days later, Ishihara Sho's spaceship arrived above Cihang Jingzhai.

"Let's go, let's go down and see your master," Ishihara Akira said, holding Jin Bingyun beside him.

Jin Bingyun did not refute, letting Shi Yuanzhang lead him off the spaceship and slowly land in the square inside the Cihang Jingzhai mountain gate.

By this time, quite a few people had already gathered here.

Just like how he had treated the Danqing Sect before, Ishihara Akira openly revealed his spaceship this time, hovering it just over ten meters above Cihang Jingzhai. It was so visible that anyone with eyes could see it. Given that there were usually many Jingzhai disciples staying in the square, the appearance of the spaceship caused a huge sensation in Jingzhai. Not to mention that some people jumped down from inside and naturally gathered around it as if they were seeing something new.

"Ah, it's Senior Sister Bingyun!" exclaimed a Jingzhai disciple who recognized Jin Bingyun's appearance.

"Bingyun?" Yan Jing'an, who came out to check the situation after hearing the commotion, looked at Jin Bingyun, who appeared with Ishihara Sho, in surprise.
