Chapter 990: Plan is Interrupted

“Hello? Li Xiang, what’s the situation over there?”
As soon as he left the studio, Chen Xiaobei called Li Xiang to start begin phase two of their plan: find the Orochi Scale.
But things were not going smoothly for Li Xiang. He told Chen Xiaobei helplessly, “Brother Bei. We have a problem. The executive chef at the palace we had bribed suddenly changed his mind and refused to let us slip in. I have to find another way.”
“Mm, if that’s the case, I won’t go to you.” Chen Xiaobei nodded and said, “Come up with another solution. I will deal with the people who try to stop us.”
“People who tried to stop us? Are you talking about the vicious individual behind Donchen Ittō-ryū?”
Li Xiang was very perceptive.
“Yes. If everything has gone according to plan, Tanaka and the others should be following our enemies to their nest. They’ve just texted me. I better go see for myself.” Chen Xiaobei said.
“Alright. Roger that. I will see what I can come up with. I’ll update you on our progress later.” Said Li Xiang before hanging up.
Chen Xiaobei sped to the location Tanaka Tsuyoshi had sent.
Along the way, Chen Xiaobei evaluated their current situation and the variables. Earlier, he had kept his composure when he spoke to Li Xiang to avoid putting any additional pressure on him.
The truth was, their situation was tight.
They had failed to infiltrate the palace, and Li Xiang had yet figured a way into Divine Sovereign Sect.
It looked like their plans to find the Orochi Scale had hit the wall.
These few days, Chen Xiaobei had been looking up the internet and read that before the Royal wedding of the crown prince, Demonic Fox will be fasting in Divine Sovereign Sect, guarded by the Divine King and four guardians who would be chanting.
That meant that if Chen Xiaobei wanted to see Demonic Fox before the wedding, he had to start a war against the Divine Sovereign Sect.
The Divine King’s cultivation was a mystery and the four guardians were elites with Celestial cultivation.
Even if Chen Xiaobei summons four of his loyal, Celestial-cultivated hounds from China, it might not be a sure-win.
It was clearly unrealistic to go to war now.
This also meant that their plan to rescue Demonic Fox would have to take a back seat for now. Even though Chen Xiaobei hoped to find reincarnated Daji, he had no other leads other than that she was in Japan.
Clearly, this was another impasse.
Time waits for no one. The days had passed by just like that, and if they do not find a way to break these impasses, this trip to Japan would be a complete waste!
Chen Xiaobei was in a desperate need for a breakthrough.
He could not simply rely on Li Xiang to come up answers. He had to do some thinking himself.
…
At Mount Donchen
Donchen Ittō-ryū had seemingly claimed it as their own private territory, keeping the beautiful mountain and fresh water to themselves. No one else was allowed to set foot in it.
Chen Xiaobei parked his car at the foot of the mountain and walked up to the appointed place where he found Tanaka Tsuyoshi and Cang Jingu waiting.
“Bro Bei, you don’t actually have to come here yourself,” Tanaka Tsuyoshi said in contempt. “I can handle this rubbish faction on my own!”
Cang Jingu did not want to admit incapacity either. “Even my combat power is lower, I can make the faction leader of Donchen Ittō-ryū get down on his knees before me if I take down my mask and reveal my true identity! Donchen Ittō-ryū is a dog to my Cang Jing family!
Tanaka Tsuyoshi was a pinnacle ninja and Cang Jingu was also known as the number one prodigy. They could easily finish off Donchen Ittō-ryū on their own.
But Chen Xiaobei came anyway.
“There are some changes to our plans. I need to find a new solution. Take me in first. We can’t miss any chance we get.” Chen Xiaobei briefly explained.
The three men walked up the hill through the dense forest to avoid detection.
There were a lot of houses on the side of the mountain and because of the twenty over wounded men whose cultivation were destroyed, nearly all the houses were lit up.
For the sake of making arrangements for the injured, the mastermind behind the evil plan had his hands full. It was nearly dawn when he finally sat down with a cup of tea.
“Master Umekawa! I sent my men to rob Chen Zhufeng because I heard your intel! I didn’t even get my hands on a single artifact or Spiritual Stone! Instead, I lost twenty of my powerful members!” said a middle-aged man with silvered hair wearing a hideous look on his face.
He was the faction leader of Donchen Ittō-ryū, Daisuke Ojima.
“Mr. Donchi! This was an honest mistake! I did not expect this Chinese boy to bring two bodyguards with Celestial cultivation! I really didn’t know and you can’t possibly blame me for that…” the man next to him said feebly.
His face was wrapped in a layer of cloth.
The culprit responsible for leaking information to Donchen Ittō-ryū, the unlucky bastard that Chen Xiaobei had struck was none other than Umekawa Shichijiro!
The rivalry between Chen Xiaobei and the Umekawa Family went all the way back to when they were in Green Vine University.
Umekawa Neiku and Chen Xiaobei had engaged in conflict many times. Umekawa Neiku had brought his men to kill Chen Xiaobei but was crushed by him instead.
Ever since that time, Umekawa Neiku’s father, Umekawa Osatake 1 had spent money, hiring assassins from all over the world to murder Chen Xiaobei and his family. Fortunately, Chen Xiaobei owned a loyal, ferocious dog to look after the house. There was no use hiring these assassins.
And because of that, Chen Xiaobei and the Umekawa Family became involved in a long-standing feud.
Chen Xiaobei had struck Umekawa Shichijiro at the airport because, one, he deserved it and two, most importantly of all, because he hated the entire family.
“I never put all the blame on you! But we must get even no matter what” Daisuke Ojima said sourly, “I want to rob all of Chen Zhufeng’s Spiritual Stones and artifacts!”
“That is a must!” Umekawa Shichijiro gritted his teeth. “I have spent so much time and energy pursuing Amasa Yuki! But he ruined my plans! Even in my sleep, I dream of killing him! After we’ve had our revenge, you can take all the stones and artifacts! I only want Amasa Yuki!”
“Heh, what you really want is to get your hands on the Amasa’s fortune, right?” Daisuke Ojima peered at him, laughing greedily. “If you succeed, make sure you give some to me!”
“No problem!” Umekawa Shichijiro slapped his chest and swore, “When I finally become the Amasa’s son-in-law, I will not forget you!”
“Good! Now, I can finally show my trump card!” Daisuke Ojima laughed confidently, “I have a cousin brother who is the chief security officer in the palace! And he is also a pinnacle ninja from Tenshou! Chen Zhufeng will surely be dead if he is willing to help us!”
