Chapter 481 This is not a good situation.
After forcing Lu Qiudi away, Mu Yaoguang left a message saying "See you tonight" before heading to the port to await the Dongxia delegation's landing.
To show goodwill, neither Dongxia nor Ursus would sail their warships directly to the shore, but would instead transfer to other vessels to reach the port.
There will be some diplomatic procedures and exchanges afterwards, all of which will be handled by dedicated members of the mission.
As for what Mu Yaoguang said before, that Bai Ze would meet with the representative, that was just something she used to tease Lu Qiudi.
In reality, Bai Ze would not show himself directly; everything would be handled by the people from Ying Kingdom.
After all, he still can't really be seen in the light of day.
Even Bai Ze wouldn't openly interfere in the affairs of the Ying Kingdom's government.
In any case, everything in Ying Kingdom is now under Bai Ze's control, centered on his will, and he is not responsible for matters on the surface.
He only needs to sit at the highest point in Ying Kingdom, and everyone in Ying Kingdom will spontaneously run for him.
"Pass down the word: Prince Zhai has betrayed the country and colluded with a cult in an attempt to stage a coup. The Sword Saint tragically sacrificed himself in the process, but fortunately, Prince Zhai's coup was suppressed. As for the rest, I probably don't need to say more."
Bai Ze glanced at the four people behind him and said.
"We will discuss with the nobles of the Hua clan later and finalize our explanation to deal with the inquiries from both Dongxia and Ursus," Chiba Shusuke and Amakusa Genjuro said in unison.
What Bai Ze said was the official version of events.
There needs to be a corresponding explanation for today's unusual events to appease both sides.
As for the interior, nothing is needed.
Afterwards, the two bowed to Bai Ze and went to stabilize the situation.
Meanwhile, Bai Ze, accompanied by Kamiizumi Muneshige and Tengu Doman, arrived at the First Life Building opposite the Imperial Palace.
The general has left, but this building will have a new owner.
From this day forward, this will be Bai Ze's base of operations in Ying Kingdom.
He went up to the top floor of the Life Building and entered the general's office.
The place had been emptied out long ago, and even heavy items like desks had been taken away. It seems the general is a sentimental person.
However, after the Western Alliance people left, someone immediately rearranged the office. By the time Bai Ze arrived, everything was already in place.
Bai Ze went directly to the chair and sat down, looking at Tian Gong Dao Man, "Restore."
Tengu Doman's injuries healed at a visible speed, and even his clothes were restored to their original state.
"Thank you, Your Excellency," said Tian Gong Dao Man respectfully.
Bai Ze simply waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need to say anything more, and then asked directly, "Do you know where Kosh'e's true form is hiding?"
As a student of Kosch'e, and having studied directly under him, Amamiya Dōman should be quite familiar with him.
Even based on an analysis of Amamiya Dōman's personality, it can be determined that he and Koshche have always maintained contact.
He is an egoist, and given his moral standards, it is not unacceptable for him to cooperate with Kosché, or even serve him.
"I don't know. I can't even tell whether the immortals I see are their true forms or avatars."
Tengu Dōman shook his head, giving a less-than-ideal, but unsurprising, answer.
However, he added, "Based on my several interactions with the Undead, I suspect he mainly operates in the ancient lands of Sanskrit and the realm of mountains and seas. He once had me transport a batch of experimental blood essence and consumables of shikigami, which were then transferred through the Slu Autonomous Prefecture of Dongxia and finally delivered to the ancient lands of Sanskrit."
"This is something I investigated secretly afterward, and it should be true."
"Supplies?" Bai Ze asked. "Personnel?"
Amamiya Doman didn't know what his new master thought, but his absolute loyalty led him to reply, "They are specially cultivated human bodies. The environment in the ancient land of Brahma is not very good. Although there are many people there, the consumables there are more suitable for research on poisons and mutations."
"Dongxia is very strict about this, and there are people in Dongxia who are secretly conducting human experiments. They may not even have enough test subjects. We have received related orders many times in the black market in Japan."
"Japan has access to Western trade routes. Although the country is small, it has no shortage of goods."
Good heavens! Bai Ze exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
He now controls Japan, but without a thorough understanding of all aspects, he never imagined that Japan would have such a large market.
No wonder Lu Qiuhuo kept capturing test subjects from Japan; it turns out there's no shortage of them here.
Bai Ze could guess who it was if someone in Dongxia was secretly conducting human experiments, because Qu Jingxuan was one of those people.
Qu Jingxuan was also a student of Kosché, and learned a lot of skills from him.
It can only be said that Koshke has truly gone all the way down the path of being both infamous and influential, and is about to become a scapegoat for the world, just like the Great Freedom Demon Cult.
Most cults are less hated than Koshche.
"Brahma-Zhu? That's certainly possible," Bai Ze said thoughtfully.
When he first met the incarnation of Koshche, he was attacked by the Brahmanical mechanical monks.
Kosh'e was able to summon people directly from Sanskrit, which shows that he had connections there.
Previously in the Mountain and Sea Realm, Bai Ze clashed with Kosh'e again. At that time, Kosh'e was not there for Bai Ze, but rather to silence members of the Great Freedom Demonic Cult.
His timely arrival shows that he had indeed arranged for his avatar to travel throughout the Mountain and Sea Realm year-round.
Although there are many passages to and from the Shanhai Pass, few are unclaimed, and most of these unclaimed passages are located in the ancient lands of Sanskrit and India.
If Kosh'e wants to come and go freely, it would be best to establish influence in Sanskrit India.
However, we cannot limit ourselves to one particular label.
Bai Ze actually had another suspect in mind: Heizhou.
That place is the location of the Wan Yi Zhi Ji server, and also the largest cult gathering place on Earth, making it an ideal location for Kosh'e activities.
To find him, we need to take a multi-pronged approach. We need to make moves on Earth, and we also need to make moves in the Mountain and Sea Realm.
Bai Ze thought to himself, somewhat troubled.
He can use the Luoshu (洛书) to hack into networks, but if there is no internet in the area, then his method won't work.
The ancient lands of India were constantly at war, unlike the prosperous Eastern Xia region.
As for Black Africa, well, let's not even go there; it's practically un-modern.
The Mountain and Sea Realm also needs to be dealt with.
However, Bai Ze planned to go there himself for this particular place.
"Your task from now on is to keep an eye on all clues related to Kosh'e," Bai Ze said, looking at Tian Gong Dao Man. "Find his whereabouts."
"Yes," Tengu Daoman replied.
"Kamizumi Muneshige, you are in charge of reorganizing the royalist patriots and bringing together all the disciples of Tsukahara Shin'emon."
Bai Ze then ordered Kamiizumi Muneshige, "Afterwards, you will lead men to the ancient lands of India to gather intelligence for me."
Kamiizumi Muneshige immediately knelt on one knee and shouted, "We swear to repay Lord Bai Ze's kindness with our lives!"
It seems that the mental imprint that Bai Ze implanted in him had a subtle reaction with his own thoughts, causing his emotions to change quite drastically.
Bai Ze was the one who forced the general to leave.
Kamiizumi Muneshige's lifelong dream was to have the Western Union troops withdraw and for Japan to gain sovereignty.
Now, Bai Ze is the master of Ying Kingdom. Kamiizumi Muneshige's dream has been transformed by the imprint of his thoughts and can be considered to have been realized.
In his heart, Bai Ze was the savior of Ying Kingdom, and he could never repay the kindness of Lord Bai Ze.
Bai Ze subconsciously sensed Kamiizumi Muneshige's emotions, and after discovering the inside story, he truly felt a sense of bewilderment, both amused and exasperated.
However, this is ultimately a good change, so let's just let it be for now.
"Go down," Bai Ze said, waving his hand.
The two bowed again and left the office.
Bai Ze was left alone. He closed his eyes and regulated his breathing, sensing the changes in the Xuanhuang Dao Body.
They gathered the beliefs of the Ying Kingdom and used the faith of the Three Noble Children to create the imagery of the sun and moon. Among them, Amaterasu is the sun goddess and Tsukuyomi is the moon goddess, which can be successfully used to transform into corresponding images and create the "earth imagery".
The remaining Susanoo is a sea god and a war god, whose faith is somewhat difficult to exploit.
Bai Ze will be included in the Six Paths of Reincarnation to enrich its foundation.
As Bai Ze channeled his energy, the colors of the sun and moon appeared in his eyes, and the Six Paths Reincarnation Disc and the Heavenly Time Reincarnation Disc simultaneously appeared behind him.
With the help of the faith in the Kingdom of Ying, Bai Ze's progress in Mahayana Buddhism was remarkable, bringing his realm close to the nine stars.
However, because he had grand ambitions and wanted to integrate the "Cantongqi", "Tianyao Reincarnation Technique" and "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm", the simple combination of the sun and moon was not enough for Bai Ze to reach the Nine Stars.
His "geographical features" are not yet complete.
The next step is to integrate the "Buddha Kingdom in the Palm of Your Hand," open up a chaotic void within the body, and manifest stars within that void to form celestial bodies.
If this path can be successfully followed, it will be unimpeded in terms of physical strength, and even the Heavenly Barrier of the Body can be broken through directly.
"
Bai Ze silently observed the state of the cultivation technique, made plans, and felt a strong sense of hope for the future.
For other martial artists, it becomes increasingly difficult to break through as they progress, but for Bai Ze, it's the complete opposite.
The higher his level of attainment, the wider the scope of his ability to manifest power through his words, and the more he can integrate various divine skills to form a positive cycle.
As a result, Bai Ze's strength grew like a snowball, getting bigger and bigger.
Only in this way can we cope with the coming storm. Bai Ze thought to himself.
The followers of Shiva are shaping a vessel for his descent. If Shiva truly descends, Earth will once again enter a period of chaos.
Although the convergence of the worlds caused various disasters and made life difficult, Earth generally continued to move forward.
The convergence of worlds took away disasters but also brought opportunities, leading Earth onto the path of evolution.
It was the arrival of the Great Freedom that caused the evil gods of the spirit world to swarm in, lifting the veil of chaos.
Now that Da Zizai is causing trouble again, it will most likely usher in a new era of chaos.
Bai Ze must seize this calm before the storm and hone his strength.
He kept his eyes closed, circulating his internal energy to digest the gains from the battle, and before he knew it, night had fallen.
That night, the Japanese government held a welcome banquet for the envoys from both countries at their embassy in Heian-kyo.
Mu Yaoguang did not participate in the party, but left silently and quietly arrived near the First Life Building.
...
.....
"Sister, that vixen from Ursus didn't attend the party either. Judging from my keen intuition, she's definitely here for Old White."
Through the communicator in his ear, Luo Shui's voice provided real-time updates on the situation at the embassy.
Luo Shui didn't come this time, but she still dedicated herself to Mu Yaoguang's love and career, monitoring the situation in Dongxia in real time through the internet and offering advice to Mu Yaoguang.
Ekaterina had already arrived, but she didn't participate in the party, which shows that she was only there for Bai Ze.
If you're a step too slow at this point, you might regret it for the rest of your life.
"If you ask me, you should just break up with Lao Bai. Once it's a done deal, that'll make Lao Bai settle down and stop him from philandering."
Luo Shui continued her rambling suggestions, "If Lao Bai can't control himself, lock him in the basement and discipline him severely. Although he has made great progress now, you, sister, have also broken through, so you should still be able to keep him in check. But when he breaks through to the nine-star level, it might be too late to control him."
Luo Shui used to be afraid that Mu Yaoguang and Bai Ze would fall for each other, but now that times have changed, she has changed her stance and is afraid that Mu Yaoguang and Bai Ze's progress is not fast enough.
"Tonight is our chance! Let's take down Old White and make that white-haired loser from Ursus eat dust!" Luo Shui shouted.
"Bai Ze's primordial yang is still here, no need to rush," Mu Yaoguang said calmly. "I have my own rhythm."
"What time is it? Stop pacing!" Luo Shui exclaimed. "Sister, you're not worried, but I'm worried for you. If you ask me, just go find Lao Bai and ask him to cultivate the 'Mutual Sustainment Chapter' with you. Trust me, Lao Bai will definitely agree. Besides, Lao Bai has been with you for so long, and his character is trustworthy, unlike those insects."
"Of course I trust him," Mu Yaoguang nodded, "but..."
"What is it?" Luo Shui urged, "Since you're so in love, why don't you hurry up and make your move?"
"that is···..."
Mu Yaoguang stammered, a faint blush creeping onto her face.
She hesitated for a while before saying, "I'm not ready yet."
"Not prepared?!" Luo Shui was stunned for a moment, then realized, "Ah, this..."
This touches on a blind spot in Luoshui's knowledge.
Although she's an experienced driver, she still lacks practical experience.
"It's really just that little thing, like this and that..." Luo Shui said while observing Mu Yaoguang's expression with her nanometer unit.
Seeing the obvious hesitation on Mu Yaoguang's face, she slowly closed her mouth.
I almost forgot, Mu Yaoguang is a germaphobe.
Although this obsession with cleanliness has long been overcome, the underlying issues remain.
and··.
The thought of having that stick-like thing poked into her made Luo Shui panic a little.
A martial artist who is dedicated to the martial arts cannot indulge in such desires.
Especially when one's cultivation level is low, it is even less likely that one's vital energy will be leaked.
Luo Shui was shocked to discover that she not only lacked practical experience, but also had no experience in entertaining herself.
As for Mu Yaoguang, she is detached from worldly affairs and her emotions have become somewhat detached due to excessive cultivation of pure energy. She probably has no experience in this area.
"This is going to be difficult," Luo Shui murmured.
