Qing Yu did not return directly to his residence, as he noticed that two sneaky men had followed him.
These two men had followed Qing Yu after he had left the stall. They thought they had excellent tracking skills and were not detected by Qing Yu, but they did not know that Qing Yu had not only discovered their whereabouts, but had also used the power of his mind to reveal their images in his mind.
If Seiyu had guessed correctly, these were the ninjas sent by the easterners who called themselves “Heji”. The feet landed first on the palms of their hands and then on their heels, so as to reduce the sound of their footsteps to a minimum.
This is the same way that a thief would walk, and it is a habitual action of the ninja.
Qing Yu, who had fought with the ninja, knew that this was a habit that was engrained in their bones.
The mere fact that he was at the same table as Feng Jiu had attracted the ninja’s attention, so it seemed that the Eastern Japanese were on the opposite side of the mountain river school in the next fight.
Most likely, these Eastern Japanese were invited by the Tantric Sect. The Tantric sect lost to the Zen sect back then and fled far abroad. Coincidentally, the East happened to be overseas.
Qing Yu would not believe it if he said that for so many years there had not been any encounter between the East and the Tantric Sect.
Moreover, when the Tantric monks entered the Central Plains in large numbers without alerting anyone, if not for the fact that their movements were later revealed, the world would not have known that this great Buddhist sect, which had been overseas for hundreds of years, had returned quietly.
When Qing Yu first learned of this, he even thought that the Tantric monks had flown directly to the Central Plains by air. It would not be impossible if the Tong Shen realm powerhouse had really defied the odds and done the work of transport.
However, judging from the current situation, it was likely that these Tantric monks had come in on the Eastern merchant ships that had been let through Xie Lang’s wide open door in the first place.
Qing Yu had easily guessed the cooperation between the Eastern Japanese and the Tantric Buddhists, and how the Tantric Buddhists had entered the Central Plains before. These were all questions that had been piling up in his mind, doubts that had been lacking a key to unlock them.
Today, the man who came to him, Ping Er, offered to deliver the key and help Qingyu unravel these mysteries. I have to say, Heiji is a good man.
As he thought through his past doubts, Kiyoharu picked up his pace and turned in another direction.
The two shinobi behind him followed without moving.
The further he went, however, the fewer pedestrians there were on the route he took. Finally, Qingyu walked into a street that could serve as a symbol of the divine capital – Tianle Place.
In the early morning, Tianle Square was not as busy as it was at night. The number of people on the road was the opposite of what it was at night.
In the early morning hours, the guests who stayed overnight were still in their tender places and had not yet woken up. Moreover, the recent departure of the rich and powerful from God’s Capital City to avoid the wind had also made Tianle Square a lot cooler.
Otherwise, even in the early morning, there would have been a few fearful fellows quietly sneaking home early.
After entering Tianle Square, Qing Yu suddenly turned into a small alleyway and disappeared.
Seeing this, the two ninja looked at each other, drew their small swords hidden in their arms, bowed their bodies and crept against the wall into the alleyway.
But as soon as they entered the entrance to the alleyway, a figure appeared like an unfolding scroll, inch by inch, slowly revealing itself from the top to the bottom.
The figure appeared so silently that even the ninja, who were good at sneaking, did not realise when it had arrived behind them.
The two ninjas entered the alley sideways, but did not look back at all, staring at the interior of the alley slowly.
As he looked at the two ninjas, who were unaware that they had been discovered, Qingyu slowly raised his right hand and a black mist spilled out of it, enveloping them.
As the black mist wrapped around the two ninja, they realised that their enemy had arrived behind them at some point, but it was too late.
The black fog is called ‘Xuan Hei Ghost Mist’, and its effect is extremely poisonous.
Just like this ——
Qing Yu’s finger hooked slightly and the “Zhou Liu Shui Power” attached to the blood, causing it to flow backwards and straight through the heart. The two ninjas, even if they were professionally trained, could not endure the sudden and excruciating pain.
After all, there is a limit to how much pain one can endure, even for those who have undergone special training. What’s more, Qing Yu, who is an expert in the art of healing, deliberately used his true qi to stimulate their acupuncture points and his spiritual power to stimulate their nerves, causing their long-numbed pain nerves to awaken and even become more sensitive to the pain, which was multiplied.
The intense pain that spread throughout their bodies caused the two ninjas to blur in their instinctive protection, making it difficult for them to act on their own. At that moment, the invisible power of the mind invaded and broke through the two ninja’s defences.
At the same time, Qing Yu pressed his hands against their heads, and a purple light seeped into their minds, searching for their memories.
“Mind reading.”
A type of Yin-Yang technique, it was more like soul searching than mind reading, as this ‘mind reading technique’ could only be performed by pressing on the recipient’s head, and it did not read someone’s mind silently.
In a flash, the origin of the two ninjas, Heji’s real name, the situation in TOEI, the cooperation between Tantric and TOEI ——
All kinds of memories were incorporated into Qing Yu’s mind. With the experience of absorbing martial arts senses, Qing Yu easily divided the memories of these two people, discarding the useless ones and categorizing and digesting the useful ones.
Although the two ninjas were only at the lower levels and did not know the plans of the higher levels, the memories that could be considered common knowledge in the East were very rewarding to Qing Yu.
In a few moments, all the memories that could be read were read. The two shinobi bled to death as a result of Seifu’s brutal memory scouring.
“Boom…”
Qing Yu released his hands and the two bodies slowly fell to the ground.
“So that’s how it is, so that’s how it is, this is how it is in the East ——” Kiyoharu muttered, unconcerned about the blood he had inadvertently stained on his hands for a moment.
He could not be blamed for losing his composure, it was because the situation in the East was so shocking, Qing Yu never thought that the East was in such a state in this world.
Tantra, TOEI, the two were far closer than one might think.
“It’s lucky that these two ninjas are from the Hattori family, the Shinobi god family, and are not forbidden, otherwise I might not even be able to learn about the current situation in the East and know such secrets. Haha.”
“Heiji, Heiji, you’re a great guy ——”
With a soft laugh, the blood stains on Qingyu’s hands were washed away by his true qi, and he leapt to the building at the side of the alley, disappearing without a trace in a few lifts.
