Chapter 175 You are so good, Ishikawa!
"President, you...how could you be controlled by the Sakura Gate?" Zhuge Qing's voice trembled with disbelief. He couldn't accept this sudden reality. President Ishikawa, such a prominent figure in the Central Plains business community, had actually fallen into the hands of the Sakura Gate. This was simply like a fairy tale.
Chairman Ishikawa trembled, as if a slight breeze could blow him over. His eyes were filled with fear, a fear that penetrated deep into his bones, as if he had seen something terrifying. His lips trembled, but he couldn't say a word.
At this moment, a deep and powerful voice broke the silence: "The Sakura sect, this sect, has always been the root of trouble in the Central Plains." The speaker was Li Qiankun, a middle-aged man with a burly figure and a resolute face. His eyes were as sharp as an eagle, as if he could see into people's hearts.
"Although they failed in their invasion of the Central Plains, it seems that they have new plans now." There was a hint of coldness in Li Qiankun's words, and his eyes were full of blame and anger when he looked at President Ishikawa.
Chairman Ishikawa was intimidated by Li Qiankun's aura. He kowtowed repeatedly with a trembling voice: "Immortal, please spare my life, Immortal, please spare my life! I was also forced to do this! They controlled my family, I... I..."
"Okay, no need to say more." Li Qiankun interrupted President Ishikawa, his tone cold and decisive, "You just need to tell us where the Sakura faction is."
Chairman Ishikawa nodded quickly and said in a trembling voice, "I know, I know! They are hiding in an abandoned factory in the eastern suburbs. I can take you there, but I only ask you to spare my life."
Zhang Chulan, a thin young man with a fierce look in his eyes, was standing next to Li Qiankun. Hearing President Ishikawa's words, he was enraged and kicked him in the back. "Spare your life? You deserve it? You betrayed your country and colluded with the enemy. You deserve death!"
Chairman Ishikawa was kicked to the ground. He kowtowed and begged for mercy. Zhang Chulan squatted down and stared into Chairman Ishikawa's eyes: "However, I can give you a chance. As long as you tell us the truth about the Sakura Clan, we will consider how to deal with you after we have caught them all."
President Ishikawa nodded repeatedly, indicating his willingness to cooperate. At this moment, Wang Ye stepped forward. He was a handsome, elegant young man. He frowned, looking at President Ishikawa and saying, "The Sakura Clan is one of the alien factions in Japan. They have many warriors and powerful warriors. If we just force our way in, I'm afraid there will be great risks."
Li Qiankun smiled faintly and shook his head. "Risk? We're here for the risk. Besides, we have the sharp sword in our hands, so why should we be afraid?" He patted the sword in his hand, a gleam in his eyes. This sword, which he had snatched from the Sakura Gate, was extremely sharp and filled with a sinister aura.
"This demon sword is our bait," Li Qiankun continued, "We must march towards the Sakura sect in a grand manner and let them know how powerful we are!"
As soon as Li Qiankun finished speaking, Taoist Li frowned. An old man with white hair and beard, he looked like an immortal. Seeing Li Qiankun's eyes full of fighting spirit, he couldn't help but feel a little worried. He tried to dissuade him, "Li Qiankun, the strength of the Sakura Sect should not be underestimated. You're taking a huge risk."
However, Li Qiankun just smiled indifferently: "Master Li, you always say how powerful that Jonin is, but in my eyes, he is just so-so." His words were full of confidence and domineering.
Suddenly, Li Qiankun changed the subject and became full of interest in the mysterious Larsen Island: "What secrets are hidden on that island?" His eyes flashed with curiosity and desire.
Taoist Priest Li was even more surprised when he heard this. He looked at Li Qiankun's curious eyes and knew he couldn't dissuade him. He sighed and said, "The situation there is complicated, and there are outside forces coveting it. If you go there, I'm afraid you will be in great danger."
"More likely to be dangerous than safe? Haha, when have I ever been afraid?" Li Qiankun laughed. "I'm definitely going to Larsen Island. Taoist Li, I hope you can be my guide."
Taoist Priest Li looked at Li Qiankun's determined eyes and couldn't help but feel moved. He hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Okay, I promise you. But you have to remember, your life is your own, don't lose it easily."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun bowed slightly, no longer showing the violent look he had just shown. "Thank you, Taoist Li."
"However, before going to Larsen Island, I have one more thing I would like to ask you for help with." Taoist Li suddenly changed the subject and said to Li Qiankun.
"Oh? Please speak, Taoist Li." Li Qiankun looked at Taoist Li with some curiosity.
"Have you ever heard of a stone called 'Tiangang Stone'?" Taoist Li asked slowly, his eyes revealing a hint of solemnity and anticipation.
Li Qiankun shook his head, indicating that he didn't know. He asked, "Is there anything special about this stone?"
Taoist Li sighed and said, "This stone is very important to me. I heard that Ishikawa might have some clues. If you can meet him, please ask him for me."
Li Qiankun nodded after hearing this: "Okay, I promise you."
At that moment, a tall man slowly approached the street near Sakura Gate. He carried a large backpack and wore a cap that obscured most of his face. A smile spread across his face, but a cold glint flickered in his eyes. He seemed to have seen the enemies about to fall at his feet, his heart filled with anticipation and excitement.
He walked to a small shop, stopped, and went in. A moment later, he came out carrying a few bottles of water and some dry food. His movements were skillful and quick, as if he was accustomed to this kind of life.
Zhang Chulan had been watching the man warily. Seeing him approach, he immediately nervously grabbed the person next to him and whispered, "Be careful, this guy might be a powerful ninja."
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun also looked at the man. He looked at him carefully, but found that there was nothing special about him. He frowned and said, "Zhang Chulan, you are too nervous. He is just an ordinary passerby."
Everyone sat together, the atmosphere was originally relaxed, but it suddenly became subtle because of Zhang Chulan's words.
He frowned slightly, his eyes revealing an inexplicable alertness, as if some unknown crisis was in the air. "I think there might be a traitor among us." Zhang Chulan's words startled everyone, and then they all cast awkward glances at him.
"Zhang Chulan, are you being too sensitive?" Lu Linglong spoke first, her voice tinged with confusion and helplessness. The others nodded in agreement with Lu Linglong's opinion.
After all, at a time like this, any hint of suspicion could cause unnecessary panic.
However, at this moment, the appearance of a strange man broke the awkwardness.
He slowly walked in front of the crowd, his eyes lingering on Li Qiankun for a moment, then bowed slightly, his voice low and powerful: "Mr. Li, I'm here to deliver intelligence."
When these words were spoken, everyone was shocked and turned their eyes to Li Qiankun.
Li Qiankun's expression was solemn. He slowly stood up and stared at the man with a sharp gaze, as if trying to find the answer in his eyes. "Please speak."
The man took out a document from his arms and gently placed it in front of Li Qiankun.
The document bore the company's seal, making it particularly eye-catching. Li Qiankun took the document and slowly opened it, his gaze growing more and more solemn as he delved deeper into the contents.
After a moment, he looked up at the man and asked in a low voice, "Are you saying that President Ishikawa has betrayed us?"
The man nodded, his expression firm. "Yes, this is the information I got from the people around him. He has now colluded with the Sakura faction and is preparing to harm you."
Li Qiankun took a deep breath, as if he wanted to absorb all the heavy emotions into his chest.
He looked at the man, a hint of gratitude flashing in his eyes: "Thank you."
The man smiled faintly, as if everything was under control: "You're welcome. This is what I should do. Oh, and I also brought some armor and knee pads. You may need them on the road."
As he spoke, he took out a few packages from the car and handed them to Li Qiankun and others. Everyone took the packages and opened them, only to see that inside were sets of exquisite armor and knee pads.
These equipments are not only of high quality, but also ingeniously designed, and are obviously prepared to deal with the impending danger.
Zhang Chulan took the armor and looked at Lu Linglong awkwardly: "This...how do I wear this?" There was a hint of helplessness and shyness in his voice.
Lu Linglong couldn't help laughing. She walked over to Zhang Chulan and helped him put on the armor while teasing him, "You're a grown man, and you're still afraid of wearing armor? Come, let me help you."
Amid Zhang Chulan's embarrassment and Lu Linglong's teasing, everyone put on armor and knee pads.
Li Qiankun looked at everyone and nodded with satisfaction: "Okay, let's go."
Everyone followed Li Qiankun and walked towards the sect's entrance step by step.
The sect is located in a mountain villa, surrounded by green trees and a quiet environment.
However, this tranquility did not let everyone relax their vigilance. They knew that the upcoming challenge would be a double test of their wisdom and courage.
The iron gate at the entrance of the sect was tightly closed, giving people a mysterious and solemn feeling.
Li Qiankun walked to the iron gate and knocked gently.
A moment later, the iron gate slowly opened, revealing a path leading to the sect's main gate. Everyone followed closely behind, step by step entering this mysterious world.
However, from the moment they entered the sect, a sense of foreboding loomed. They knew that this place harbored too many secrets and dangers. They must remain vigilant at all times to survive in this unknown land.
Just when everyone was feeling uneasy, a familiar figure appeared in front of them.
It was President Ishikawa! His face was solemn, and his eyes revealed an indescribable complex emotion.
However, the moment Zhang Chulan saw him, the anger in his heart erupted like a volcano.
"President! What do you mean? Have you really betrayed us?" Zhang Chulan's voice was filled with anger and unwillingness. His eyes flashed with determination, as if he was trying to break President Ishikawa with his eyes.
President Ishikawa looked embarrassed. He hesitantly explained, "Chu Lan... listen to my explanation... things are not what you think..." However, before he could finish his words, he was interrupted by Zhang Chu Lan, "Enough! I don't want to hear your explanation! You traitor!"
Just when the two sides were on the verge of a fight, a gentle but firm voice rang out: "Everyone, please calm down." Everyone turned their heads and saw a woman in a gorgeous long dress walking towards them.
She looked at everyone with a smile on her face, as if everything was under control.
"Caiying?" Li Qiankun looked at her in surprise, with an inexplicable emotion surging in his heart.
He knew that Caiying's appearance must mean some important turning point.
Caiying bowed gracefully, her voice gentle but firm: "Everyone, the leader has been waiting for a long time. Please follow me." Her eyes revealed an unquestionable majesty, as if telling everyone: No matter what your purpose is, the leader welcomes you.
