Kainuo looked at Ye Ling before him, realizing that he had no possibility of escaping from Ye Ling. His eyes filled with increasing fear.
He could no longer fly in the air. Trembling, he landed and knelt before Ye Ling, begging, "Spare my life..."
Not long ago, the three of them, as Red Dust Immortals, had been invincible together. Even the top forces of Yang Country, the Bushi, were no match for them.
How glorious it was when the three of them pursued Sakura Moon for thousands of miles!
But who would have thought that the savior Sakura Moon found would be so monstrous? The three Red Dust Immortals were now one dead, one severely injured, and one completely lost the will to fight!
Kainuo knelt before Ye Ling, extremely anxious, only hoping that Ye Ling would spare his life.
He knew very well that the only one who could save him, both in heaven and on earth, was Izanagi. But Izanagi was currently dealing with a very important matter and was not in the mortal realm, so he couldn't possibly save him!
If he wanted to live now, he could only beg Ye Ling to spare his life!
At this moment, Arasaka Shoichi arrived late with reinforcements from the Ara Department, just in time to see the Ryu Department base turned into ruins and Kainuo kneeling before Ye Ling.
"He is... Kainuo the Soul Reaper?"
When Arasaka Shoichi recognized the person kneeling before Ye Ling as Kainuo, his heart was immediately filled with immense shock and astonishment!
As the head of the Ara Department's intelligence division, Arasaka Shoichi possessed a lot of classified information, and Kainuo the Soul Reaper was one of the Ara Department's key targets for vigilance!
More than ten years ago, Kainuo had single-handedly stormed the Ara Department base, killed more than ten high-ranking officials of the Ara Department, and stolen a samurai sword imbued with the soul of a Sengoku Daimyo from the core area of the Ara Department base!
At that time, Kainuo was already at the peak of the eighth rank. Even with the entire Ara Department combined, they couldn't stop Kainuo alone.
It could be said that Kainuo had single-handedly cleansed the Ara Department with blood back then. If Arasaka Shoichi had not happened to be absent from the base at the time, he probably would have died there as well.
Speaking of which, Arasaka Shoichi's firm grip on power and stable position within the Ara Department was greatly related to Kainuo helping him eliminate more than half of his competitors.
After Kainuo's bloody raid on the Ara Department, the Ara Department issued a warrant for Kainuo's arrest and joined forces with official organizations from several major countries worldwide to pursue Kainuo. However, after Kainuo joined Takamagahara, the Ara Department immediately withdrew the warrant and remained silent about the past, fearing to provoke Takamagahara.
From then on, Kainuo was also placed on the Ara Department's list of individuals not to be provoked.
Arasaka Shoichi's memory of Kainuo was exceptionally profound. Seeing Kainuo kneeling before Ye Ling now, the shock in his heart was beyond imagination.
However, Arasaka Shoichi had also witnessed Ye Ling's strength and knew how monstrous it was. After being impacted, he quickly accepted reality, tidied up his emotions, and rushed to Ye Ling's side, asking, "Your Majesty, are you alright?"
"You don't need to be so polite; these fellows can't hurt me."
Ye Ling replied indifferently, then glanced at the members of the Ara Department and said to Arasaka Shoichi, "It's good that you're here. I have something to assign you to do."
Arasaka Shoichi was taken aback. "What does Your Majesty require?"
Ye Ling said, "The Bushi have been annihilated by Takamagahara."
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Arasaka Shoichi's pupils contracted sharply, and he exclaimed in shock, "The Bushi have been annihilated?"
One must know that the Bushi were the foremost assassin organization in Yang Country, with Sakura Moon at its helm. Their strength was even greater than that of the Ara Department!
If not for Takamagahara, the Bushi could be said to be the number one force in Yang Country!
But now, the powerful Bushi had been annihilated just like that?
Arasaka Shoichi felt a sense of unreality and couldn't accept it for a moment.
If the Bushi, with their Red Dust Immortals, could be annihilated, then their Ara Department would be even more like paper!
Ye Ling continued, "For the specific details, send someone to investigate at Longshe Mountain. Now, I need you to spread this news."
"Spread it out?"
A hint of doubt flashed in Arasaka Shoichi's eyes as he confirmed with Ye Ling, "Does Your Majesty mean to let everyone know that Takamagahara annihilated the Bushi?"
Ye Ling nodded. "That's right. The more people know, the better. Preferably, the entire supernatural community worldwide should know about this."
Although Arasaka Shoichi didn't quite understand why Ye Ling wanted to do this, he dared not question Ye Ling's orders. He could only nod and say, "I understand. I will have my subordinates make this matter ferment as soon as possible."
As the official supernatural organization of Yang Country, the Ara Department held considerable prestige within the global supernatural community. It would be very easy for them to make this matter ferment.
However, the Bushi were, after all, a top force in Yang Country. Now that the Bushi had been annihilated in one fell swoop, the impact was already profound. And now, they were deliberately making this matter ferment...
No one could predict what kind of storm this incident would stir up in the supernatural community.
Ye Ling then instructed, "Furthermore, I want you to announce something else."
"Your Majesty, please command!"
"After the matter has fully fermented, I want you to tell the whole world that Ye Ling, the Lord of the Demonic Palace, will avenge the Bushi and slaughter all members of Takamagahara, leaving none alive!"
"This!!!"
Upon hearing Ye Ling's words, Arasaka Shoichi's heart was filled with immense shock. He looked at Ye Ling with a stunned expression and asked in disbelief, "Your Majesty, are you serious?"
"Of course," Ye Ling smiled slightly. "You also need to prepare live broadcast equipment. I want to show the whole world a feast of slaughter."
Madness!
Arasaka Shoichi looked at Ye Ling in disbelief, with only this thought in his mind!
He couldn't imagine what kind of storm Ye Ling's actions would unleash!
Arasaka Shoichi truly understood the horror of Takamagahara only after conducting in-depth investigations. The strength displayed by that organization was merely the tip of the iceberg!
Now Ye Ling was provoking the darkness hidden in the deepest parts of the world, and a single misstep could invite extremely terrifying backlash!
If things went wrong, even the entire Yang Country could be destroyed!
Kainuo, who was kneeling on the ground, was also stunned. He stared blankly at Ye Ling, thinking he had misheard.
Kill all members of Takamagahara?
What kind of joke was this?
As a backbone of Takamagahara, Kainuo was very clear about the strength Takamagahara possessed.
The most terrifying aspect of Takamagahara was not how many Red Dust Immortals they had, but the countless gods who stood behind them!
Takamagahara connected the mortal realm and the celestial realm, and was involved in the dirty dealings of countless gods. Those high and mighty gods would never allow anyone to expose Takamagahara to the public and tear down their hypocritical facade!
Ye Ling's actions were tantamount to making enemies of the numerous gods in heaven!
Although Kainuo was kneeling before Ye Ling now, the way he looked at Ye Ling was as if he were looking at a dead man.
Only a madman would dare to provoke Takamagahara and shake the order of the gods!
Arasaka Shoichi's throat felt dry. With his intellect, he could no longer fathom the consequences of doing such a thing.
But for some reason, after knowing that he was about to undertake such a suicidal mission, he felt inexplicably excited.
He swallowed a few times, stared at Ye Ling with excitement, and nodded fiercely, "I guarantee the mission will be completed!"
