Chapter 1236: Appointment at Mount Koya

Watanabe Yui’s expression shifted slightly.

“Qianmu Longxing, why are you here?”

Ye Bufan didn’t recognize the man and asked, “Who is he?”

Watanabe Yui replied, “He is Qianmu Longxing, the Family Head of the Qianmu Family.”

Ye Bufan nodded, “Are you with them? But it seems your Qianmu Family is late.”

Qianmu Longxing shook his head, “We would never associate with those brainless people, and as you can see, only I from the Qianmu Family came.”

Since the other party didn’t directly show hostility, Ye Bufan didn’t make a move.

“Now that you mention it, I’m a bit curious. Aren’t the Five Great Families of your Great Dog Country all together? Why didn’t you participate today?”

“Five Great Families? That’s just what ordinary people call us.” Qianmu Longxing said with disdain, “The Qianmu Family never says that. Those brainless fellows are not even worthy of being mentioned in the same breath as us.”

Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “It seems your Qianmu Family looks down on them.”

“That’s the truth of the matter. If you’re going to act against someone, shouldn’t you first find out who your opponent is? Isn’t that brainless?”

Qianmu Longxing said, “Medical Immortal Ye Bufan, his cultivation is unfathomable. Before coming to the Great Dog Country, he was at Tianzi Mountain in the Imperial Capital of Huaxia, where he consecutively defeated two Saint Rank masters from the Murong Family, directly removing the Murong Family from the ranks of the Imperial Capital’s Four Great Families.”

“As the saying goes, ‘know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated.’ Such a powerful opponent, and they didn’t even understand him. That’s why they ended up in their current situation. Don’t you think that’s brainless?”

Ye Bufan raised an eyebrow, “It seems your Qianmu Family knows a lot about me?”

“Not a lot, but at least we know your strength, and we also know that you killed my nephew, Qianmu Xifeng, in Hong Kong.”

At this point, Qianmu Longxing’s eyes became sharp.

“That’s right, I killed him.” Ye Bufan didn’t deny it. “It seems you’ve come to seek revenge.”

“I am not your opponent, so how can I seek revenge?”

The killing intent in Qianmu Longxing’s eyes flashed and quickly returned to its previous calm.

“Since you’re not here for revenge, then what are you doing here? Are you here to watch the other Great Families make a fool of themselves?”

“I don’t have that much time to watch them make a fool of themselves.”

Qianmu Longxing said, “I’m here to invite Medical Immortal to be our guest at the Qianmu Family.”

“Invite me to be your guest?” Ye Bufan smiled slightly, “I don’t seem to be very familiar with the Qianmu Family, and as you said, I killed Qianmu Xifeng, so we

can’t be considered friends. There’s no need to be a guest, right?”

“I think Medical Immortal should accept our Qianmu Family’s invitation. If you don’t arrive at Mount Kōya before noon tomorrow, then Liu Yun will lose her life.”

“It is rumored that the Medical Immortal is a compassionate person who cherishes beauty. You wouldn’t bear to see such a beautiful woman dismembered, would you?”

Hearing him say this, Ye Bufan’s expression changed slightly. He hadn’t expected that Liu Yun’s secret would be discovered by the other party.

“How did you find out?”

“That’s too simple. Our Qianmu Family isn’t brainless.” Qianmu Longxing said, “My nephew Qianmu Xifeng died, but his disciple survived completely unharmed. That in itself was a bit strange.”

“If it were just that, it would be fine, but the key is that after she returned to the Great Dog Country, she wasn’t idle. First, she inquired everywhere about your mother, Changsun Dongju, and starting yesterday, she had people searching for the whereabouts of Mermaid Island.”

“Under these circumstances, if our Qianmu Family couldn’t figure anything out, then we truly would be blind.”

Ye Bufan shook his head slightly. It seemed he had been careless and underestimated the Qianmu Family.

“As a Sword Saint Family, your Qianmu Family wouldn’t make things difficult for a woman, would you?”

Qianmu Longxing said, “Originally, we didn’t plan to let go of a traitor, but if you arrive at Mount Kōya before noon tomorrow for the appointment, our Qianmu Family can release this woman.”

Ye Bufan said, “Alright, I will definitely arrive on time tomorrow.”

“Then we’ll see you tomorrow.”

Qianmu Longxing was not at all indecisive. After speaking, he immediately turned and left.

After he left, the Miyamoto matter was officially resolved. The task of taking over the interests of the other Three Great Families was entirely handed over to Grand Elder Watanabe Daisuke, while Watanabe Yui and Lin Tianyu accompanied Ye Bufan back to the Watanabe Family.

“Son, do you really have to go to Mount Kōya tomorrow?”

Changsun Dongju had long seen that the Qianmu Family’s invitation was a trap, and she was a little worried about her son.

Ye Bufan smiled slightly at his mother, “No matter what, Liu Yun is now considered one of us. We must rescue her no matter what.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll be fine.”

Although Liu Yun was only his servant, she had fallen into the Qianmu Family’s hands this time because of Changsun Dongju. Emotionally and logically, he couldn’t stand by and do nothing.

Changsun Dongju said, “Alright then, you must be extra careful.”

“Mom, it’s not very convenient for you to be here. I’ll contact the Imperial Capital immediately to have you picked up and brought back.”

Ye

Bufan was very clear that tomorrow’s trip to Mount Kōya would inevitably involve a battle. Having his mother by his side would indeed be inconvenient, and he would have to be distracted protecting her.

So he called Su Ruyue and directly dispatched his private plane to pick up Changsun Dongju and take her back to the Imperial Capital first.

After taking care of these matters, he and Watanabe Yui returned to the Watanabe Family.

Just as Qianmu Longxing had said, it was necessary to fully understand the opponent. After entering the door, he asked, “How much do you know about the Qianmu Family? They seem very arrogant and look down on your Great Families.”

Although he had asked Liu Yun the same question before, different people answering a question offer different perspectives and possess different information.

Watanabe Yui said, “Qianmu Longxing is right. Although they are usually called one of the Five Great Families with us, they are in fact a very independent existence, calling themselves the Sword Saint Family.”

“The Qianmu Family has a Legacy of several hundred years, and their strength is indeed above our Four Great Families. Moreover, they are very good at enduring and rarely expose their true strength.”

“For example, the previous Sword Saint Qianmu Xifeng, whose cultivation was only at the Heaven Rank Late Stage. The reason he served as the contemporary Sword Saint, besides being Qianmu Wufu’s son, was to conceal their strength.”

“So, the Qianmu Family’s strength is very strong?”

“Extremely strong.” Watanabe Yui said, “The previous generation’s Sword Saint, Qianmu Wufu, is said to have broken through to the Saint Rank long ago.”

“It’s just a pity that he hasn’t made a move for so many years, and no one knows what his cultivation is like now. So, this trip to Mount Kōya, Ye Jun, you must be careful.”

“If needed, I am willing to lead the entire Watanabe Family to help you.”

Ye Bufan shook his head, “That won’t be necessary. Sometimes, for a clash between masters, a lot of people are useless. I would only have to be distracted protecting you.”

“Alright then.”

Although Watanabe Yui was a little disappointed, she also knew that her strength would only be a hindrance if she went, and she truly couldn’t help.

“By the way, Ye Jun, I think when you go to Mount Kōya, you should also be careful of the Shingon sect there.”

“Shingon sect?” Ye Bufan had heard of that name before. “Isn’t that a Buddhist Holy Land?”

“It is both a Buddhist Holy Land and a Martial Dao Sect.” Watanabe Yui said, “The Shingon sect in our Great Dog Country is equivalent to your Huaxia’s Shaolin Temple. They cultivate both Buddhist Dharma and Martial Dao, and they have many masters.”

Ye Bufan asked with interest, “I see. Is their strength stronger than your Great Families?”
