Chapter 760 Strange Situation
The headquarters of the Black Wind Society occupies a vast area.
This is an organization that is worshipped by the entire nation.
Even the prime minister came from here.
Therefore, the architecture here is no less impressive than that of the imperial palace.
The surrounding area was also heavily guarded.
Inside the Black Wind Society headquarters, there is another floor that they consider even more sacred.
That is the Black Wind Altar.
The competition venue was actually located within the Black Wind Altar.
This surprised Cao Erdan again.
Even Takizawa Mira was confused.
The Black Wind Altar is a very sacred place for the Black Wind Society.
It is extremely difficult for ordinary people to join the Black Wind Society.
Not to mention reaching the altar.
But today is just so strange.
There were more than 500 people participating in the competition.
They actually allowed them all to enter the altar!
The headquarters of the Black Wind Society is not a tall building.
The storefront has only three floors.
And the inside is indeed very spacious.
It can no longer be described as a castle.
It's practically a city within a city.
The streets inside are wide, and the main road is actually a four-lane road.
As you drive further in, there are also many buildings on both sides of the road.
The destination was the tallest of these buildings.
It's as tall as an eight-story building.
Hundreds of black-robed warriors stood at the entrance.
They all looked proud and arrogant, displaying their power and prestige.
In front of the warrior were ten wizards dressed in white robes.
It looks like it's at a much higher level than a samurai.
A wizard with a large beard stepped forward and said, "Gentlemen, I am Kojima Ichiro, an elder of the Black Wind Society's Academic Hall. I am also a supporter of today's Martial Arts Tournament. Today is the preliminary round and final round of the Martial Arts Tournament. The winner will not only receive a prize of one billion yen, but will also be able to directly join the Black Wind Society and receive its protection."
All attendees listened intently.
After hearing what Ichiro Kojima had to say, they were all eager to try it out.
Some, driven by greed, are eyeing the 100 billion prize. If one hundred people win, each will receive 1 billion.
Some also wanted to expand their influence.
They were also very eager to join the Black Wind Society.
With a command from Ichiro Kojima.
The building doors behind us opened.
Cao Erdan discovered that the two doors were actually made of pure steel and were a foot thick.
He couldn't help but give Ryuzawa Miro a wink.
Tell her to be careful.
Entering the altar.
There was only one floor inside.
From the first floor to the roof, it's the height of an eight-story building.
The spacious hall, filled with over 500 people plus their own 100-plus, didn't feel crowded at all; it remained quite empty.
Near the north wall of the main hall, there is a three-story-high statue of a deity.
It has nine heads, wings, and a snake tail, making it a very strange shape.
Kojima Ichiro first kowtowed and worshipped the statue.
Then turn around.
"Fellow warriors of the Great Ying Kingdom, before the competition begins, I must ask you this: If one day you were to sacrifice your lives for the Empire, would you bravely step forward?"
"meeting!"
Half of the people answered loudly.
"Are you willing to shed your blood for our empire?"
"willing!"
More people responded.
They considered this an assessment item.
Ichiro Kojima smiled smugly.
"Alright, now let's invite our great mage, Yuji Gangmen, to preside over the competition."
A burst of ritual music began to play.
A person emerged from behind the statue.
The man was dressed in formal attire.
It had colorful feathers on its head.
He holds a banner in his left hand and shakes a bell in his right.
It looks like a Chinese shaman performing a ritual.
This outfit would look beautiful on a beautiful woman.
This dark-skinned, thin man was exceptionally ugly, and although he looked very old, it was impossible to tell how old he was.
As soon as he came out, more than a hundred warriors and a dozen wizards all knelt down and kowtowed.
They treated him with the same respect one would show to an emperor.
Moved by the atmosphere, many of the contestants knelt down.
"Welcome, Grand Master."
The calls for action were incessant.
Cao Erdan and Long Zemeiluo exchanged a glance.
No words were spoken.
However, Ryuzawa Miro felt a little nervous.
Cao Erdan also felt something was off.
This doesn't seem to make sense.
She gave Ryuzawa Miro a wink, then slipped away to the side.
I already observed it when I came in.
The Black Wind Society headquarters compound has a complex layout and is heavily guarded.
Moreover, there are surveillance cameras everywhere.
Judging from the presence of a satellite receiver, there will likely be satellite monitoring equipment as well.
If not accompanied by someone, enter only if permitted.
If you sneak in, you probably won't get very far before you're discovered.
This would immediately attract the attention of the Black Wind Society's guards.
With so many skilled warriors from the Five Samurai mobilized, there was no chance for anyone to search for the remains of the Nine Gods Venerable.
Now that they've ascended to a divine status, they won't be subject to so much surveillance.
Cao Erdan pretended to go to the toilet and went to the corridor.
We went from room to room.
Using the ability of X-ray vision, the door appears to be non-existent.
Inside, there were quite a few samurai wearing headscarves and carrying long swords.
They looked solemn and ready for battle.
There seem to be more than two hundred people.
If we went any further, the captain of the guards came to stop us.
"Excuse me, sir, the restroom is on the other side. Please do not go there."
Cao Erdan peered over his shoulder and saw that the room was still filled with warriors on high alert.
What exactly are they trying to do?
The martial arts tournament was held to select talented individuals, all of whom were native Japanese warriors.
They weren't from the same place; they came from multiple cities.
Are we afraid they'll rebel?
Since he was being blocked, Cao Erdan couldn't go any further.
He smiled at the guard captain:
"Sir, where's the toilet? I really can't find it."
The captain glared at him:
"follow me."
So he led Cao Erdan towards the restroom.
Cao Erdan kept observing to make sure no one was following.
When I got to the bathroom door, I used X-ray vision to look inside, but there was still no one there.
The captain had already sensed that Cao Erdan's expression was off.
Just as he was about to question her with wide eyes, Cao Erdan spoke again:
"Answer me properly when I ask you something, or you'll be in a lot of pain."
"Nani?"
The captain looked puzzled.
Cao Erdan has already made his move.
She grabbed his chin and removed the ring.
This team leader is also a Dao Realm cultivator.
You must resist the moment you see Cao Erdan make a move.
But then I felt a tremendous pressure coming down, as if all my joints were about to shatter.
Seeing that Cao Erdan's hand wasn't fast, he just couldn't dodge it.
His chin was then removed, and he was unable to speak.
Cao Erdan reached out and grabbed him by the back of the neck, pushing him into the toilet.
Those inside who were going to compete were already completely focused on the game.
The people lying in ambush outside are disciplined and will not wander around to use the restroom at this critical moment.
Cao Erdan then used the restroom as a makeshift interrogation room.
Once inside, the captain still tried to resist.
However, Cao Erdan struck with lightning speed, dislocating his limbs.
Time was of the essence, and there was no time to waste on small talk with him.
He took out a silver needle and inserted it into his acupoints.
This torture of pricking acupoints with silver needles is an unbearable pain for most people.
The captain felt as if his entire body was being bitten by millions of insects.
It twisted and writhed painfully on the ground.
