Chapter 121: Discovering the Conspiracy

  Yang Feng arrived at the residence of Liu Shengyuan according to the information he obtained from the memory of that ninja. Although Liu Shengyuan was also studying at Tianjing University, he did not live in the school or even in a nearby community, but instead resided in a luxurious hotel within Tianjing City.

  Yang Feng entered the hotel and walked directly to the room where Liu Shengyuan was staying. When he arrived at the floor where Liu Shengyuan's room was located, Yang Feng saw two people standing guard at the door of Liu Shengyuan's room in the corridor. Yang Feng walked over directly. The two guards saw Yang Feng approaching and were about to open their mouths to drive him away, but before they could speak, they had already been knocked out by Yang Feng from a distance.

  Yang Feng did not enter Liu Shengyuan's room, but instead walked into the adjacent room. Yang Feng had already used his spiritual awareness to investigate earlier and found that except for Liu Shengyuan's room which had two people inside, all the other rooms were empty. It was clear that all the rooms on this floor had been booked by Liu Shengyuan to accommodate those ninjas, but they would no longer be needed as those ninjas would never return.

  Yang Feng entered a room next to Liu Shengyuan's, came onto the balcony, and saw that the window curtains of Liu Shengyuan's room were drawn, blocking the outside view. Yang Feng then concealed his breath, jumped up, and landed lightly on Liu Shengyuan's balcony without making any sound. Moreover, Yang Feng had already retracted all his aura beforehand, so the two people inside the room did not detect that he was outside.

  "Iga Taro, can the subordinates you sent kill Yang Feng?!" The voice of Yagyu Gen came out, and the person he was talking to, Iga Taro, was one of the high-ranking ninjas who had come this time. Although they were speaking in the island nation's language, Yang Feng could already understand it since he had absorbed the memory of that middle-ranking ninja from earlier.

  "Don't worry, Yagyu-dono. Our Iga ninja are the strongest. That kid, no matter how skilled he is, won't be a match for us. You can rest assured!" said Higa Daisuke to Yagyu Mataemon.

  "You haven't seen Yang Feng's true strength, that's why you're saying this. Yang Feng is already a top-notch master with innate abilities. I think even you might not be his match. I'm still worried we'll fail." Ryuusen said to Iga Dairoku with some concern.

  "Oh, is that so?! Then I'd like to see just how formidable this Yang Feng is. As it happens, I've recently learned the Fire Escape Technique. If our dispatched personnel fail, then I'll take care of him myself and let him taste the ferocity of my fire escape!" Iga Dairo said to Yagyu Gen.

  "Oh, Iga Dairo have you already learned the strongest fire jutsu?! Then I can rest assured." Yagyu Genno said to Iga Dairo with a slight sense of relief.

  "Yagyu-kun, don't worry, everything will be fine with me around. The master said that your current task is to quickly capture the eldest daughter of the Yang family. Only when we cooperate with the Yangs can we get what we want." Iga-darou said to Yagyu Gen. "I also want to take down that cheap woman as soon as possible, but she's very cunning and wants to use me without giving me any benefits. She won't even hold hands with me! It really infuriates me, if I get angry, I'll just force her, see if she still dares to pretend to be pure!" Yagyu Gen said resentfully.

  "It's not possible, the Yang family is too powerful in China. If you really do this, you'll offend the Yang family and our Liu family will be in trouble. Our goal is to get that thing, so we can get the help of the great Yin-Yang master and expand our influence and position at home." Iga Dairo advised Liu Shengyuan.

  "What exactly does the great Yin-Yang Master want?! Why do we have to cooperate with the Yang family?! Can't we just find it ourselves, why bother with all this trouble?!" Liu Shengyuan said somewhat impatiently. Since he had been in contact with Yang Xiaocan, he had to put on a flattering face everywhere, which was a great insult to him. After all, Liu Shengyuan was also a big shot in the island country, and it was easy for him to get a woman, unlike now when he had to flatter people to get things done!

  "Taisho Yin Yang Master wants to get a jade pendant, said to be owned by Qin Shi Huang back then, and one of the three great divine artifacts in our country is this kind of jade pendant." Iga Taisho said to Ryūsei Gen.

  "Are you talking about the Hook Crystal, one of the three divine artifacts along with the Cloud Sword and the Eight Trigrams Mirror?! Isn't that supposed to be a divine artifact bestowed upon our nation by the gods?! How could someone like Qin Shi Huang possibly have it?!" Ryuusei Gen said to Iga Dairoku, not understanding, although he knew what the three divine artifacts of his country were, but wasn't very clear about their true origins.

  "Young master, those are just tricks to deceive ordinary people. The true origin of the three divine artifacts is not like that, but I don't know the specifics either. I only heard from the great Yin-Yang Master that Qin Shi Huang had a jade pendant like this, so he sent us to search for it. And it's not just our Liu family who has someone here, the Yamaguchi family also sent people, so you must act quickly, young master!" Iga Dairo said to Ryusen.

  "Why cooperate with the Yang family then?! Is Qiong Yu at the Yang's?!" Sheng Yuan still didn't understand why they had to cooperate with the Yangs, couldn't they just go find her themselves and avoid him having to deal with Yang Xiaocang.

  "It's like this, young master. The entire underground forces of the northern China are controlled by the Yang family. If we want to find out what happened to Hu Qiongyu, we must rely on the power of the Yang family. Moreover, the headquarters of the Yang family is in Shaanxi Province, and the mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang is also located in Shaanxi Province. If we want to go to Shaanxi to search for Hu Qiongyu, we still have to rely on the Yang family; otherwise, it would be impossible for us to take any action there!" Iga Dairo said to Ryūsei Gen.

  "It's all the Yang family, it's really infuriating me! Why do I have to suffer from the Yang family? First, I had to endure Yang Xiaocao's temper, and then that kid Yang Feng humiliated me. Why do I have to suffer from them?! I'm the young master of the Liu Sheng family, why do I have to suffer like this!" Liu Sheng Yuan loudly roared, venting his discontent.

  "Master, please calm down. You've suffered some injustice now, but the big deal is urgent. As long as we find the Hook Jade before the Yamaguchi family, we can get the Great Yin-Yang Master's recognition. That will be the day when our Ryuusei family rises to power! When our Ryuusei family becomes strong, we'll definitely avenge you!" Iga Taro advised Ryuusei Gen.

  After Iga's persuasion, Ryōgen finally calmed down a bit. Looking at the time, Ryōgen said to Iga, "How come the people you sent haven't returned yet? Has something happened?! I knew they wouldn't be a match for that Yang Feng kid! I shouldn't have listened to that actress and tried to kill Yang Feng. Now we've provoked him, and we're in trouble! He's a top-notch master, one of the best in Huaxia!"

  Yūshōgen started talking again, last time he was really scared by Yang Feng and beaten up by Wāng Míng until now he still hasn't fully recovered, so he's still a bit traumatized.

  "Young master, don't worry about it. Even if they fail, it's nothing much, just a few lower ninjas after all. If they die, so be it. As for Yang Feng, even if he doesn't come, I'll still avenge you, Young Master! Besides, the head of the house has already sent our family's only divine ninja, so once the divine ninja arrives, we won't have to fear even if there are several more Yang Fengs!" Iga Dairo said to Yagyu Gen.

  Yagyu Gen heard that his father was going to send the only Shinobi in their household, and he immediately perked up. That person was the strongest in the entire Yagyu family, so if he came, Gen wouldn't have to worry at all, and could even get him to avenge himself.

  "Has God Shinobi arrived?! When did he get here?!" Yagyu Gen asked Iga Dairo.

  "Shinobi-sama is already on his way and will arrive by tomorrow at the latest. However, Shinobi-sama's main purpose for coming out of seclusion this time is still to obtain the Houkyougyoku. We can only ask Shinobi-sama to avenge Young Master after we've obtained the Houkyougyoku first, otherwise Shinobi-sama definitely won't help us!" Iga Tarou said to Yagyu Gen.

  "Hey, I know what to do. Let's just wait until we get the Hook Jade and then talk about it later." Yagyu Gen also knew the position of that divine ninja in the family and didn't dare to give orders to him. He could only try to persuade him to help himself avenge after completing the task!

  Yang Feng had already left after hearing the noise outside, and before leaving, he still silenced the two guards in front of Liu Shengyuan's house, which was a warning to Liu Shengyuan. This time, Yang Feng didn't kill Liu Shengyuan not because he heard that the divine ninja was coming, but because Liu Shengyuan wanted to kill him all because of Yang Xiaocang!

  It turned out that Yang Xiaochan wanted to kill herself, which was something Yang Feng had not expected. Although Yang Feng knew that Yang Xiaochan would definitely take revenge on him because of what happened that day, he had not expected Yang Xiaochan to be so ruthless and actually want to kill himself. At this time, Yang Feng began to regret why he hadn't directly killed Yang Xiaochan last time, now leaving himself with such trouble.

  But now that I know about this matter, next time when I meet Yang Xiaocui, it will be her death date!

  As for why Yang Feng let Liu Shengyuan go, it was because Liu Shengyuan still had use. Although he didn't know what the Hu Qingyu was, since so many people wanted to get it, it must be a good thing. The Liu family and the Yamaguchi family both wanted to get this Hu Qingyu, which would allow them to stir up trouble for the Yang family. As long as they could make one of these families conflict with the Yangs, they could bring some trouble to the Yangs!

  Yang Feng may not have enough power to deal with the Yang family now, but he can still cause some trouble for them. Although it's unlikely that he can truly harm the Yang family, he can at least make them feel uneasy and unable to live in peace.
