One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 679 Return to Karakura Town

There is no use in talking more.

Wang Zhenqiu raised his hands to indicate that he had no ill intentions, and that the dead people on the ground had nothing to do with him.

The knife handle that Ishikawa Ken was holding creaked, and the veins on his forehead and temples bulged, and he yelled:
"Do you think I'm a fool?"

Wang Zhenqiu said helplessly: "But this is true. I can't do anything about it whether you believe it or not."

"I can only say that the old saying is right. Sooner or later, there will be retribution for the evil you have done..."

Puff, hiss!

Several bolts of lightning burst out from Wang Zhenqiu's body, causing his knees to go limp in pain. He fell to the ground and was unable to get up for a long time.

Hu Xiuwu was actually still in Wang Zhenqiu's body and had a hidden trick left, but this was not because Hu Xiuwu was stingy and wanted to punish Wang Zhenqiu.

Instead, it is to seal Wang Zhenqiu's ability to communicate with the evil spirits of the underworld.

Currently, the underworld has just been put back on track. Except for the Rakshasa ghost clan, Hu Xiuwu has no intention of letting other evil spirits interfere in the affairs of the world of the living.

Bodhisattva Shen Jingzhi, Rakshasa Ghost King Liu Dongtian, and Liu Kunsheng who guards the Eight Cold Hells, are all too powerful.

If they fight in the world of the living, the consequences will be the same as when Hu Xiuwu fought the remnants of the snake god outside the Palace of Versailles.

Even though Hu Xiuwu intended to drag the battlefield into the deep sea, he still destroyed half of the city. A world-famous iron structure was turned into twisted iron bars and was inserted back into its original place.

People like the old Taoist priest are the magic needle that stabilizes the sea. There is no reason to move it at will and stir up the situation.

But Wang Zhenqiu, although he knew this clearly, he couldn't suppress his curiosity. He wanted to try out what it felt like to invite such a powerful god.

Hu Xiuwu knew this bastard very well, and no matter how much punishment he received, he would not take it to heart.

He has an alternative spirit of sacrifice of "If I hear the truth in the morning, I would be willing to die in the evening."

The best punishment for him is not physical, but mental.

Hu Xiuwu sealed his ability to communicate with the Yin spirit, but did not forbid him from going to Fengdu City.

Let him see it but not eat it.

This is the best punishment for him.

When Wang Zhenqiu discovered something strange in his body, he felt like a bereaved family member. He listlessly followed the people from the Yulong Society out and accepted their investigation.

He didn't even hear clearly what Ishikawa Ken said to him, and walked away with the people from the Yulong Society like a zombie.

"Young Master, do you think this person is really related to Bihe Mountain?"

After Wang Zhenqiu left, an older disciple of the Ishikawa-ryu took advantage of the time when the Ishikawa-ryu's men were dealing with the bodies of Utada Ringo and others, and when there was no one around, to ask about Ishikawa Ken.

Ishikawa Ken stared at the bodies of Utada Ringo and Yagyu Aiko in a trance, and only came back to his senses after hearing this:
"No, it's unlikely that he is from Bihe Mountain. I've seen his information. He is the champion of the new force in the west, Baixi Liyuan. It's unlikely that he is from Bihe Mountain."

"However, he was the only living person at the scene. He must know what happened at the time. We must bring him back to the Yulong Society for strict interrogation!"

······
"Don't interrogate the actor, let him go!"

In the morgue in the basement of the Yulong Society headquarters, standing in front of Utada Ringo's body, stroking her hair, Ishikawa Nobuyuki whispered.

In this empty and cold room, only Ishikawa Nobu and Ishikawa Ken still had warmth. The rest were the four dead people Utada Ringo. Ishikawa Ken said anxiously: "But, father, he is the only one who knows how to be a sh..."

Snapped!
Ishikawa Nobu suddenly turned around, slapped Ishikawa Ken hard, and cursed:

"The truth, the truth! What's the point of knowing the truth now? Ringo and Aiko are already dead! Even if you know the details of their deaths, can you still save their lives?"

"In any case, that is already a thing of the past. You should focus on the present and the future."

After Ishikawa Nobu finished scolding Ishikawa Ken, he calmed down and said in his usual calm tone: "Ken, do you know that I would rather you die than have anything happen to Ringo. She is our Ishikawa Ryu's hope for the future."

Ishikawa Ken lowered his head, said nothing, and clenched his fists.

Ishikawa Nobuyuki said: "She broke the demon sword, ending the fate of the Ishikawa School for a hundred years. She will also create the future of the Ishikawa School. Only she has the ability to continue writing the Buddha Sword."

The swordsmanship of the Buddha Sword Ishikawa-ryu is to kill dead creatures with a thousand strikes while showing mercy to the living. It is a swordsmanship designed to counter the demon sword Hirumaru.

After cutting off the demon sword, Utada Ringo once had a conversation with Ishikawa Nobuyuki. She was so excited that she danced with joy as she told Ishikawa Nobuyuki about her insights after cutting off the demon sword.

With the innovation of the Buddha's sword, there is no need to fight desperately to kill dead objects. You just need to find the flaws and loopholes to cut off the opponent's sword. As long as you can understand the inner veins and direction of the magic weapon, the array eye and Qi point, even a magic weapon can be cut off.

The Buddha's sword can be transformed from being used against inanimate objects to being used against all swords, armor, and magical instruments. It will be the nemesis of all inanimate objects.

Utada Ringo: "Perhaps one day, we will be able to cut off even the enemy's Qi. Without Qi, the enemy will no longer be able to use violence. This is the true Buddha sword!"

You should know that the Buddha Sword is not actually the top inheritance in Japan. Just in terms of kendo, the Tengu Sho of the Yagyu family and the Flying Sword Technique of the Kamiya school are both better than the Buddha Sword.

Ishikawa Nobuyuki was able to become the president of the Yulong Society only because of his strong political ability and his ability to maneuver, and because his Buddhist sword fit the anti-war national sentiment at the time.

After his death, it will be difficult for Ken Ishikawa to succeed the position of president of the Yulong Society, and the influence of the Ishikawa family will inevitably decline.

If Ken Ishikawa or his descendants were kicked out of the board of directors of Karakura Town and the Capital of Ijin like the heirs of many big Western company founders, it would be an even bigger joke.

However, if Utada Ringo can perfect the Buddha Sword, then even if Ishikawa Nobuhiro retires from the position of president of the Gyoryūkai, the strengthened Ishikawa clan will still be able to keep its share in Karakura Town, the Ijin Capital.

As long as he can maintain his power, if one day another outstanding person emerges among the younger generation, the position of president of the Yulong Society will still be in Ishikawa Ryu's pocket.

Ishikawa Nobu said coldly: "But no matter how beautiful the prospect is, it is now just a fantasy that can no longer be realized. I can't stay in a beautiful dream and feel sorry for myself."

"I can only look at the road ahead and try to find a way to move forward. I will find the elders in the school to improve Utada's conjecture and the small part of the sword moves that have been completed."

"And you, Ishikawa Ken, as the successor of the Ishikawa School, must stop being immersed in guilt and regret. You must work hard for the Ishikawa School and the Yulong Society."

"Given the current situation in Karakura Town, we don't have the time or energy to get entangled with Baixi Liyuan. After recording the confession, return their disciples and don't try to find out whether the confession is true or not."

"That doesn't make sense."

Ishikawa Nobuyuki knew his son very well. The reason why Ishikawa Ken was so obsessed with the truth about the deaths of Utada Ringo and Yagyu Aiko was just because he felt guilty. He felt that it was his own wrong decision that led to the deaths of Utada Ringo and Yagyu Aiko.

Moreover, Utada Ringo didn't have to participate in the assassination of Chou. He took the task because of Ishikawa Ken and wanted to increase his achievements.

She should have become a sword saint, the hero of the revival of the Ishikawa Ryu Buddhist sword.

After enduring a severe rebuke from Ishikawa Nobuyuki, Ishikawa Ken kowtowed three times to Yagyu Aiko and Utada Ringo before standing up and standing quietly beside Ishikawa Nobuyuki.

"I understand, Father. I will do better."

"I won't let Ringo and Aiko down."
