"Fatty, don't talk nonsense."
Hu Bayi shot Fatty a glare, then stood up with Zhang Tian.
Wu Tianzhen and Wang Banyue exchanged glances and followed suit.
"Master Zhang, please come with me."
Kawano was overjoyed to see that Zhang Tian was finally willing to treat the illness.
Regardless, Zhang Tian controlled him, not his son. At worst, after his death, the Matsuda family would be directly handed over to his son.
Wouldn't that also free him from Zhang Tian's control?
However, did Kawano want to die? The answer was definitely no.
Therefore, Zhang Tian could control him for at least a few decades.
Following Kawano, Zhang Tian and the others soon arrived in front of a small residence.
The black clouds above the Matsuda family had also emerged from this residence.
"Such a powerful evil aura."
Fatty covered his mouth and fanned the air in front of him.
"It's the same as before."
Zhang Qilin also spoke, looking at Hu Bayi.
He didn't know what Hu Bayi had done to cause someone so far across the ocean to become like this.
Hu Bayi, seeing this, was carefully choosing his words.
Since he had already managed to deceive them, Hu Bayi intended to continue the deception.
"Please, Master Zhang, lend your help."
Kawano bowed respectfully.
Zhang Tian nodded slightly and walked directly towards the small house.
The door to the small house opened by itself without any wind.
The house had two floors, with the upper floor being Matsuda's living area.
Kawano followed closely behind.
Soon, in Matsuda's living quarters, they saw Matsudasan lying on a sickbed, his body covered in festering sores.
He looked as if he was at death's door.
"Old Hu, excellent work."
Zhang Tian secretly gave Hu Bayi a thumbs up.
It was true that Hu Bayi, when he did act, made an astonishing impact.
Seeing his son's decaying body, Matsuda felt unbearable pain.
"Master Zhang, I beg you to intervene."
Matsuda spoke again, clearly anxious.
"Originally, your son's vital signs were weak, and yet you brought women to recuperate him. His yang energy has been completely drained."
"What's on your son might be a backlash from the Snake God, a backlash from the power of Yamata no Orochi."
As Zhang Tian spoke, Matsuda's eyes lit up.
"Yes, yes, yes. My son had been mentioning Yamata no Orochi before. I was quite helpless about it."
Kawano said, and Zhang Tian looked at Hu Bayi.
"Old Hu, explain to Mr. Kawano, preferably comprehensively. I'll go and provide aid."
Zhang Tian said. Hu Bayi rubbed his head.
Good heavens, if you're going to be a villain, be one to the end.
"Earlier, we obtained several jade pendants that contained the power of Yamata no Orochi. Thinking that Yamata was a divine artifact of your country, we gave them to your son."
"We didn't expect him to overuse the power of Yamata no Orochi and suffer a backlash. Simply put, he was cursed by Yamata no Orochi's power."
Hu Bayi said, his face not blushing, his heart not skipping a beat.
Kawano's face turned pale with shock.
He had been wondering where that jade pendant came from, and now he realized it was sold by these people.
However, given the explanation, they had returned it with good intentions, and it was his son who had been too ostentatious.
Thinking of this, Kawano sighed.
"Thank you, Master Zhang, for returning the divine artifact. We were too greedy."
"By the way, my family also has an item belonging to the Xia Kingdom. Please help me return it as well. I, Kawano, don't like to be indebted."
Kawano said, clearly trying to build a good reputation.
He wanted to make a good impression on Zhang Tian.
"Oh? Quick, bring it out for us to see."
Fatty's eyes lit up with excitement upon hearing this.
Kawano saw this and, although he didn't understand, he nodded. However, he didn't rush to get it.
Instead, he looked towards Zhang Tian.
Zhang Tian was continuously waving his hands, and the black aura on Matsuda was steadily receding.
Soon, Matsuda's complexion improved significantly, and even the rotten flesh on his body began to dry up.
"Done. There is no more evil aura on him. I have helped him eliminate the power of Yamata no Orochi."
Zhang Tian said, and the next moment, a rumbling sound came from the sky.
It was the accumulated dark clouds in the sky erupting.
Kawano looked at the gradually recovering Matsuda with excitement.
"Thank you, Master Zhang."
Matsuda cupped his hands.
Zhang Tian nodded slightly.
"You just need to remember our cooperation."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, and Kawano felt himself struggling to breathe, his face turning red, feeling a threat to his life.
Kawano nodded frantically, not daring to be negligent in the slightest.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian retracted his hand.
"Ahem, by the way, Master Zhang, I have something from the Xia Kingdom here. Please help me pass it on."
As he spoke, he quickly walked outside.
"Boss, this dog is really obedient,"
Fatty chuckled from the side.
"Who says not? He has the disposition of a lackey."
Wang Banyue also commented from the side.
"There's evil energy."
Suddenly, Zhang Qilin spoke, looking not far away. Zhang Tian's expression also turned serious. Zhang Qilin was usually quite vigilant and very sensitive.
"It seems they have something strange at home."
Zhang Tian muttered. In the puzzled gazes of everyone, Kawano walked out carrying a blood-red lotus pedestal.
It was a lotus base.
It was something that Guanyin or the Buddha would sit on.
Usually, they were golden, but the one in Kawano's hand was blood red.
Zhang Tian looked at the pedestal and felt an extremely strange阴气 (yin energy).
How could this thing appear here, and it had a similar feel to the bloody Buddha head he had found earlier.
"Holy cow, boss, this thing isn't like the Buddha head, is it?"
Fatty exclaimed.
He had clearly seen it too.
"Boss, it seems that some secrets are gradually converging towards us. We can't help but investigate."
Hu Bayi sighed.
This was no longer a mere coincidence. Zhang Tian felt as if there was a predestined fate at play.
"Master Zhang, we salvaged this item from the sea. It was originally golden, but for some reason, it turned red over time."
"Ever since we brought this back, our Matsuda family has been in decline. Please, Master Zhang, take this item away."
Kawano said.
He had thought it through well. Not only could he eliminate a hidden danger, but he could also foster good relationships.
Zhang Tian looked at the red lotus pedestal and reached out to take it.
[Item: Buddha's Fury Blood Lotus Seat]
[Item Level: Low-grade magical artifact.]
[Item Ability: Sitting on it allows one to enter an illusion.]
[Item Description: A cursed blood lotus pedestal. It has witnessed countless people lose their lives trying to sit on it. It is covered with the curse of the dead.]
The item's description echoed in his mind. Zhang Tian narrowed his eyes as he looked at the thing.
It was actually a magical artifact.
However, it wasn't of much use to him.
"Alright, I'll take this. Your son will wake up in about an hour. Mr. Kawano, we will take our leave now."
Zhang Tian waved his hand, and Kawano quickly followed behind.
Soon, Zhang Tian and the others left the Matsuda family under Kawano's escort.
"By the way, Master Zhang, the Inoue family is also experiencing such problems. You..."
Matsuda hesitated and spoke.
"One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, Mr. Kawano. I hope you understand this principle."
Zhang Tian said slowly, as they had already boarded the off-road vehicle.
Kawano's expression turned serious upon hearing this. He knew this was an opportunity for his Matsuda family to annex the Inoue family.
Meanwhile, Zhang Tian and the others in the car looked at the blood lotus, finding it extremely strange.
