Chapter 105: Sudden Incident

"My dear lady, the Shangguan Family is full of experts everywhere. Just take a casual look around while you're on the way, but whatever you do, don't go trespassing into those Forbidden Lands where you aren't allowed. If you cause any trouble, neither of us will be able to get out."

Upon hearing Haneda Michiko's words, Cai Jiu's expression relaxed slightly.

"You should know that I am the daughter of a wealthy family from the island nation. I came here just to experience life and to get a slight understanding of what your so-called Chinese Cultivation families are really like. Naturally, I won't cause any trouble, because my life is far more precious than yours!"

Haneda Michiko smiled and said.

With that, Cai Jiu relaxed even more, and the look of tension gradually faded.

In reality, Cai Jiu did have a younger sister named Cai Ji, who had really hoped to come to the legendary Shangguan Family to have a look and broaden her horizons. However, the real Cai Ji was just a sturdy girl who worked in vegetable greenhouses, and in terms of appearance, she was far less beautiful than Haneda Michiko.

After Yamamoto Yuki decided on the strategy to infiltrate the Shangguan Family, she found Cai Jiu as a Breakthrough point, and thus fed him poison to control him.

If Cai Jiu did not obey and failed to get the antidote from Yamamoto Yuki, he would die with his intestines rotted through. Cai Jiu was afraid of death, so naturally, he listened to everything Yamamoto Yuki said.

It was fortunate that they had controlled Cai Jiu; otherwise, Yamamoto Yuki and Muto Yukiko would not have known that the Shangguan Family had a great formation and could not be rashly intruded upon. Otherwise, if they had sent people in blindly, they would certainly have been shredded by that great formation.

The female ninja named Haneda Michiko sent by Yamamoto Yuki was at the level of an Advanced Martial Artist. She had strong adaptability, was proficient in the Chinese language, and had previously executed many missions that seemed impossible to complete.

This could be seen from her ability to pay attention to details; Cai Jiu was very nervous, so she timely calmed his emotions, avoiding the possibility of any accidents.

After Cai Jiu's mood stabilized, he drove on.

Although it was a Cultivation family, the entire mountain was basically filled with modern buildings. Inside, there were wide driveways, parking lots, and swimming pools, looking not much different from an ordinary Villa or manor.

The only difference was that at the top of the mountain, there was a cluster of antique buildings nestled within the forest, and these buildings clearly had some age to them.

However, the mountaintop was the Forbidden Land of the Shangguan Family. The Family Head, Shangguan Long, was up there to Cultivate, and except for the Young Lord, Shangguan Yu, as well as a few Guest Elder experts and the people who served Shangguan Long's daily needs, no one else was allowed to go up to the mountaintop.

It was very foggy today, and even more so on the mountain; at a distance of a few meters, it was hard to make out human figures, so the truck was driving very slowly.

Ten-plus minutes later, the truck drove to the front of a bungalow halfway up the mountain and stopped. This was the kitchen of the Shangguan Family, and vegetables and such were all delivered here.

After greeting the person in charge of the kitchen, Cai Jiu and Haneda Michiko began to unload the various vegetables from the truck.

Meanwhile, at the mountain gate below, a strange incident occurred.

A jeep, looking fierce and aggressive, drove straight to the front of the mountain gate, with the clear intention of crashing through the gate.

"Who goes there, daring to trespass into the Shangguan Family?" Five experts from the Shangguan Family guarding the mountain gate immediately rushed out from inside and issued a warning.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Answering these experts were three hidden arrows shot from the car.

These three hidden arrows were not only accurate but also powerful, shooting like lightning into the throats of the three experts who had little preparation.

These three experts were all of the Advanced Martial Artist level; if they had been fully on guard, perhaps they could have dodged the arrows, but how could they have expected the other party to strike without a word? Therefore, in just a single encounter, they were taken out!

Fresh blood flowed from their throats; the bodies of the three experts went limp and slowly collapsed onto the ground, their eyes filled with looks of unwillingness.

"Sound the alarm quickly!"

One expert reacted and said to the expert behind him.

That expert quickly retreated inside the gate and pulled the alarm. In an instant, the sound of the alarm rang throughout the entire mountain.

"Your Shangguan Family captured my woman as a slave; sooner or later, I will kill everyone inside here." No one appeared inside the jeep; only the voice of a cold, sinister man resonated from within the car.

Immediately after, the jeep made a sharp turn, did a U-turn, and drove away.

…

When the alarm sounded, Cai Jiu had already gone to settle the vegetable bill with the person in charge of the kitchen, while Haneda Michiko had returned to the truck.

At this moment, a young and beautiful woman walked to the front of the bungalow and passed by the side of the truck.

This woman had a voluptuous figure, swaying with every step as she walked, looking very sexy.

Haneda Michiko suddenly lunged out from the car and grabbed the beautiful young woman by the throat. Her movements were extremely agile, and her strike was like a poisonous snake flicking its tongue, catching the person completely off guard.

Crack—only a terrifying sound was heard, and the beautiful young woman had her neck snapped by Haneda Michiko, dying instantly!

Immediately after, Haneda Michiko threw the beautiful young woman's corpse into the truck bed. She also quickly climbed into the truck and took out a bottle of black liquid from her clothes.

She opened the bottle of black liquid and poured it all over the beautiful woman's corpse.

In an instant, blue smoke rose from the beautiful woman's corpse. Within about a minute, the beautiful woman's corpse disappeared, leaving only a small pile of ash.

After disposing of the pile of ash, Haneda Michiko returned to the passenger seat as if nothing had happened.

Two or three minutes later, she saw shadows flickering in the thick fog, seemingly rushing down the mountain. Those people were moving incredibly fast, faster even than driving a car.

"The Sect Master was right; the Shangguan Family has numerous experts and is unfathomable. It seems I must act carefully here," Haneda Michiko thought.

…

Ten-plus minutes later, except for a few Guest Elder experts and the Family Head, Shangguan Long, everyone from the Shangguan Family was gathered on the large plaza halfway up the mountain, standing in several queues. The Young Lord, Shangguan Yu, was pacing back and forth in front of the queues, his face filled with a gloomy expression.

Cai Jiu and Haneda Michiko were no exception and were also ordered to assemble here.

Cai Jiu didn't know what had happened and was incredibly nervous. He had lied, claiming Haneda Michiko was his younger sister, and he still had a guilty conscience.

"Ten-plus minutes ago, an assassin appeared at the foot of the mountain and killed three experts guarding the mountain gate. Everyone heard the alarm; that is because of this incident. According to the investigation, this matter is related to someone within our own ranks."

Shangguan Yu stopped pacing and said loudly, "I have assembled you all now to drag this person out! The assassin said at the time that our Shangguan Family had captured his woman as a slave and that sooner or later he would kill everyone in our Shangguan Family. Putting it that way, this person is one hundred percent a woman. If anyone thinks any woman is acting abnormally, you can step forward and report it!"

The people on the large plaza began to whisper, but no one stepped forward to say anything.

"Shangguan Ziyan, do you have nothing to say?" Shangguan Yu walked up to a beautiful middle-aged woman and said coldly, "As the manager of our Shangguan Family, did you not notice anything at all?"

"Young Lord, I dare not say." The beautiful middle-aged woman named Shangguan Ziyan's eyes flickered.

"Speak!" Shangguan Yu said sternly.
