Chapter 1237 Unfathomable

Watanabe Yui said, "The five great Families of Great Dog Country are merely secular powers. No one would compare us to the Shingon sect. In fact, the difference in strength is enormous; there's simply no comparison."

Ye Bufan asked, "So, the Shingon sect is extremely powerful?"

Watanabe Yui said, "For so many years, no one has known the exact strength of the Shingon sect. Firstly, it's a Buddhist Sect, and they rarely get into conflicts with others. Secondly, no one dares to provoke them.

If I had to describe it, I'd say it's unfathomable!"

"I see."

Ye Bufan thought for a moment and asked, "Why did the Qianmu Family establish their base on Mount Kōya? Is there any connection with the Shingon sect?"

"I haven't heard about that. Both the Shingon sect and the Qianmu Family have been on Mount Kōya for hundreds of years, and during this time, I haven't heard of them having much contact."

Ye Bufan nodded. Regardless of whether the Qianmu Family had a connection with the Shingon sect, he had to go to Mount Kōya this time.

Watanabe Yui hesitated for a moment and asked, "Ye Jun, after this trip to Mount Kōya, are you going back to Huaxia?"

"That's right. My main purpose in coming here was to save my mother. Now that it's done, I definitely have to go back."

"Then… then can I come with you?"

Perhaps due to extreme nervousness, Watanabe Yui even stammered.

Ye Bufan naturally knew the meaning implied in her words. Although his emotional life was a bit messy, he had never thought of finding a woman from Great Dog Country.

"I think it's more suitable for you to stay in Great Dog Country. After all, you grew up here and are very familiar with this place.

Now that I've eliminated the other great Families, and tomorrow it will likely be the Qianmu Family, as long as you manage the Watanabe Family well, you will become the first Family here."

The reason he was so ruthless today, slaughtering the experts of the Tanaka and Sato Families, was partly to resolve trouble for Watanabe Yui.

"Understood, Ye Jun. I hope you can visit Great Dog Country often in the future to see me."

Watanabe Yui lowered her head, hiding the disappointment in her eyes.

Having only been in Great Dog Country for a few days, he had already dealt with the four great Families and avenged her parents. Presumably, the Qianmu Family tomorrow would not fare well either.

Earlier, she said the Shingon sect was unfathomable, but wasn't this man equally so? Every time he faced a different danger, he would display extremely powerful abilities, making it impossible to see his bottom line.

Such an excellent man was someone she could only look up to.

The next day

(End of this chapter, please turn the page)

Early in the morning, Ye Bufan refused Watanabe Yui's escort and drove out of Kyoto alone, arriving at Mount Kōya near noon.

As soon as he reached the foot of the mountain, he saw Qianmu Longxing standing there in the distance.

"The Medical Immortal is indeed trustworthy."

Qianmu Longxing said.

Ye Bufan got out of the car and said mockingly, "No choice. It's because you people from Great Dog Country always like to use hostages to threaten others."

Qianmu Longxing's skin was thick enough that he pretended not to hear the implication in the words, and said directly, "Mount Kōya is a Buddhist Holy Land, not suitable for driving. Medical Immortal, please walk up the mountain with me."

After speaking, he turned and walked up the mountain.

Ye Bufan didn't say much either, and followed directly behind.

Both of them were experts, and even going up the mountain was like walking on flat ground, their speed no less than a car.

The route Qianmu Longxing took was not the main peak of Mount Kōya, but a small peak in the back mountain.

As he walked, Ye Bufan admired the surrounding scenery. "Why did the Qianmu Family set up their base here?"

"Our ancestor said that because our Qianmu Family Cultivates the Dao of the Sword, and our Killing Intent is too heavy, we can absorb more Buddhist Qi here."

Ye Bufan said, "If you think the Killing Intent is too heavy, why not just put down your sword? Don't Buddhists have a saying, 'Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot'? Why make it so troublesome."

Qianmu Longxing shook his head: "How can our Qianmu Family, a Sword Saint Family, abandon the Dao of the Sword?"

"You still want to kill people with a sword, but you also complain about heavy Killing Intent. You truly contradict yourselves." Ye Bufan shook his head and said playfully, "We in Huaxia have a saying that perfectly suits you: 'To be a prostitute yet want to erect a memorial arch.'"

Feeling the mockery in the other party's words, a hint of Killing Intent flashed in Qianmu Longxing's eyes, but he also knew his strength was far inferior to the opponent's. In the end, he merely snorted coldly and strode towards the mountaintop.

After walking for another while, they were about to reach the top of the peak. From a distance, there was only a small pavilion, nothing else.

Ye Bufan asked, "This doesn't seem to be the Qianmu Family's base?"

"Of course, this is the back mountain of Mount Kōya, not our Qianmu Family's."

Qianmu Longxing was very clear about the Qianmu Family's objective today. There would inevitably be a big battle later, and they didn't want the Qianmu Family to end up like Miyamoto, turned into a pile of ruins.

Ye Bufan already understood the other party's intention and said playfully, "You say you're inviting me as a guest, but you won't let me in. Your Qianmu Family's hospitality isn't very good."

Qianmu Longxing directly shut his mouth and stopped speaking.

Ye Bufan glanced at the mountaintop: "The scenery here is nice, but why does it look so full of Killing Intent? Honestly, how many ambushes has your Qianmu Family prepared here?"

"What? Is the Medical Immortal afraid?"

Qianmu Longxing was somewhat nervous, fearing that the other party would turn around and leave, which would make all his efforts futile.

"What do I have to be afraid of?" Ye Bufan smiled slightly, "Killing Intent is a double-edged sword. It's still uncertain who will ultimately die."

The two arrived at the mountaintop while talking. There was a wooden pavilion here, and inside sat a person from Great Dog Country wearing a kimono, appearing to be about sixty or seventy years old.

The person looked peaceful, but the atmosphere exuded an extremely powerful Sword Intent, as if it were a peerless treasure sword unsheathed.

On the other side was a woman, Liu Yun, who, although not tied with ropes, had her acupoints sealed.

Upon reaching the summit, Ye Bufan no longer paid attention to Qianmu Longxing and directly walked over to sit opposite the person.

"Are you Qianmu Wufu?"

The person looked up, their gaze extremely sharp.

"How do you know?"

"It's simple. Besides the Sword Saint Qianmu Wufu, I don't think anyone else in your Great Dog Country could possess such powerful Sword Intent."

Qianmu Wufu seemed to greatly appreciate Ye Bufan's praise, and said proudly, "You're right. Not long ago, this old man just reached the Realm of Man-Sword Unity."

"Not bad, impressive." Ye Bufan said playfully, "You are now man is sword, sword is man, man and sword are one. In our Huaxia, we generally call such people 'jianren' (a derogatory term)."

Qianmu Wufu naturally heard the mockery in his words, and his expression changed, "Huaxia person, aren't you being too rude?"

"Am I being rude? Your Qianmu Family kidnapped a woman to threaten me, and your purpose in calling me here is to kill me. Do you expect me to be polite to you?"

Qianmu Wufu said, "You killed my son, Qianmu Xifeng, so I naturally want to kill you for revenge."

"Your son was unskilled and dared to cause trouble in Huaxia. His death was well-deserved." Ye Bufan said, "Now that I'm here, shouldn't you release her?"

"No hurry. Let her bear witness to this battle for us."

Qianmu Wufu said coldly, "Since this 'jianren' chose to be with you, then let her live and die with you.

If you win today, she will leave here alive with you. If you die, there's no need for her to live either."
