Ichi-no-Kōji turned his head and saw Ling Tian standing dozens of meters away on the grass, arms crossed, smiling at him!
"Baka, I'll kill you, I'll scatter your soul!"
Ichi-no-Kōji roared and lunged at Ling Tian. However, suddenly, a furnace over two meters tall appeared in front of Ling Tian.
The furnace looked like it was made of stone, with three large characters inscribed in ancient seal script: Soul Refining Furnace!
Ichi-no-Kōji's soul immediately halted his advance, sensing something was wrong. The furnace before him looked anything but ordinary.
Ling Tian extended his hand and placed it on the Soul Refining Furnace.
"Come, lure the fish into the pot!"
Before his words had even finished, the lid of the Soul Refining Furnace suddenly opened. Ichi-no-Kōji felt an immense suction pulling at his soul, attempting to drag him into the furnace.
This truly terrified Ichi-no-Kōji. He desperately turned to escape, or at least to leave this body. But it was all in vain, because he had not entered Ling Tian's spiritual world, but a spiritual realm.
In this realm, Ling Tian was the master, Ling Tian was God!
Ichi-no-Kōji's struggle was destined to be futile, for the Soul Refining Furnace was the bane of all souls and spirits.
Tens of seconds later, the soul of this powerful ghost god was directly pulled into the Soul Refining Furnace. The furnace door closed, and Ling Tian seemed to hear the horrifying roars and screams emanating from within.
A few minutes later, the world returned to peace!
Ling Tian got up and left the spiritual realm, knowing he was no longer needed there!
Returning to Little Immortal Island, the sky was already dawn. Ling Tian went to his residence and found Aurora, Zhang Caifeng, and Hai Furong on alert, waiting anxiously.
Seeing Ling Tian, the three breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly rushed towards him.
Zhang Caifeng hugged Ling Tian tightly, "Darling, it's so good that you're alright."
Ling Tian patted her shoulder and smiled, "Don't worry, killing Japanese devils is what I do best. Those people are all annihilated.
Oh, right, they came by boat. Where did those boats go? And what about the people on board, were they dealt with?"
"There were six people on the three boats, all of whom I froze into ice blocks and sank to the bottom of the sea, boats and all!" Aurora said coldly from the side.
"Excellent, well done!" Ling Tian's praise made Aurora beam with a smile.
Ling Tian then turned to Hai Furong.
"Sister Hai, I've cleaned up the bodies on the island, but the island's security facilities still need to be strengthened. I'll rearrange the island's formations tomorrow!"
Ling Tian had decided to add an offensive formation to the existing Spirit Gathering Array and Maze Array. This way, if they encountered another large-scale invasion, all Hai Furong and the others would have to do was activate the formations, and the invaders would have a tough time.
Especially the Spirit Gathering Array on the island, which had gathered a large amount of spiritual energy from heaven and earth, would provide the energy source for his offensive formations.
The next morning, Ling Tian, accompanied by Hai Furong and the others, re-surveyed the island. Ling Tian inspected the damaged formations and then rearranged several of them. The Spirit Gathering Array resumed its work.
However, the immense destructive power generated during the previous night's battle had left its mark on the island. Especially the massive explosions caused by Ling Tian's Vajra Talismans colliding with Ichi-no-Kōji's purple light orbs, which looked like craters left by heavy bombs, astonishing everyone. They could also imagine how perilous and fierce the battle had been last night.
Next, tasks like updating surveillance were naturally handled by Hai Furong. Ling Tian returned to his room, took out a special satellite phone, and dialed a number.
Before long, the call was connected to Xie Liheng, the Secretary-General of the Righteous Path Alliance.
"Ling Tian, what's the matter that you're contacting me?"
"Brother Xie, a secret base of the Misty Rain Pavilion in the country was attacked by a group of Japanese people last night!"
"What, Japanese people? Who are they, and why did they attack the Misty Rain Pavilion!" Da Feng Novel Network
Upon hearing this news, Xie Liheng felt his head swell. Currently, the crooked path factions were causing trouble everywhere, and the Tianshan Sword Sect, the Long family, and the Situ family were slaughtering each other, their brains splattered.
Now, with the Japanese involved, it was truly a case of internal and external troubles, adding fuel to the fire.
"Brother Xie, you don't need to worry. I've already identified them. These people are from Japan's Ise Grand Shrine!"
"Ise Grand Shrine? Shouldn't they be staying in Japan now, competing with the White Fox Palace for the orthodox status of Onmyoji?" Xie Liheng said with a face full of doubt.
In fact, the Righteous Path Alliance's vision extended beyond just the domestic front; they also had informants and information channels in surrounding countries.
After all, everything was internationalized now, and even the crooked path factions had bases abroad. Without informants in neighboring countries, allowing the crooked path to develop unchecked in these countries would eventually affect China's security.
"You don't need to worry about that. This secret base of the Misty Rain Pavilion is actually a geomantic treasure land, rich in spiritual energy, suitable for cultivation, and it was coveted by the Japanese.
They wanted to seize this treasure land, and of course, these people are all dead now!
I killed them all, not a single one survived, about 30 or so!"
"Good, Ling Tian, well done. Those who offend our China shall be punished, no matter how far away!"
"Brother Xie, I remember we have rules, don't we? If Japanese people dare to set foot on our Chinese territory, they have to pay a price!"
Xie Liheng listened, hesitating. After a long while, he spoke.
"Ling Tian, it is indeed like that. According to tradition, it is impolite not to reciprocate. These Japanese people dare to come to our China, and by rights, we should send people to fight back.
However, as you know, our forces are currently fully engaged in dealing with the crooked path factions, and we simply cannot spare anyone.
Especially since those sent to Japan must be top experts, they need to be thoroughly beaten to make them feel pain!
But don't worry, I'll remember this matter. Once we're done with our current tasks, I'll immediately send people to help you seek justice!"
Xie Liheng was telling the truth. He was very afraid that Ling Tian would be wronged, after all, Ling Tian had helped the Righteous Path Alliance immensely.
Unexpectedly, Ling Tian chuckled upon hearing this.
"Brother Xie, you don't need to blame yourself at all. I'm well aware of the Righteous Path Alliance's situation, and this matter is not your fault.
However, lately, I've been feeling bored staying in China and want to go out for a change of scenery. Japan is a good place for that!"
