At this moment, Xu Zhuzhu and the others were dumbfounded. Jiang Chen actually dared to commit murder, and right in the Island Nation.
Du Guanghua felt cold sweat break out on his forehead. If Jiang Chen dared to kill in the Takeda Family, then killing him would definitely be a piece of cake. The more Du Guanghua thought about it, the more anxious he became; he had never been this tense in his life. In the middle of winter, he was drenched in cold sweat.
"How could he have such audacity to kill in the Island Nation? He must know there will be consequences. By the way, where is your military? Are you just going to let him roam free in the Island Nation?" Qian Xinyi frowned. Jiang Chen's sudden ferocity was hard for her to accept; just a moment ago, she had been mocking him.
"Right, your military won’t let him get away with this, right? Besides, there’s the Eastern Deity. If this Eastern Deity really exists, I refuse to believe that a god cannot handle him." Du Guanghua felt slightly reassured; after all, Jiang Chen was just an ordinary person. How could he possibly go against an Eastern Deity? And he had killed someone in the Island Nation—surely the military wouldn’t stand idly by. This was simply impossible. The more Du Guanghua thought about it, the calmer he felt, and his tension gradually eased.
Meanwhile, inside the Eastern Deity Shrine, there were no visitors today. The authorities had already announced that a fierce battle was imminent, scaring away all tourists. Only a few Onmyoji were kneeling before the statue of the Eastern Deity, devoutly worshipping. This was actually quite good for Jiang Chen; after all, with fewer people around, there was less risk of collateral damage.
As Jiang Chen entered the hall, he saw the statue of the Eastern Deity—a kind-looking man clad in a white robe. This was how the Eastern Deity manifested as a human form to deceive the world.
The sound of Jiang Chen's footsteps startled several Onmyoji in the hall. They were not vengeful spirits but human Onmyoji responsible for maintaining the shrine.
"Are you the one who killed Yo Yinan?" an elderly Onmyoji who spoke Huaxia Language asked in a deep voice.
"Bring out the Eastern Deity," Jiang Chen said calmly while looking at the statue.
Seeing that Jiang Chen’s response did not address his question, the elderly Onmyoji's expression darkened immediately.
"Who do you think you are to see Lord Eastern Deity?" The elderly Onmyoji said ominously, appearing ready to confront Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen couldn’t be bothered to look at him and replied indifferently, "You are not my match."
"Ridiculous! This is the Eastern Deity Shrine! Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you must behave yourself here," the elderly Onmyoji sneered. After all, this was their home turf that they had painstakingly managed for many years; they surely had some tricks up their sleeves.
However, what they considered their trump card was worthless in Jiang Chen's eyes. Seeing that these Onmyoji were being so obstinate, Jiang Chen decided not to waste any more words. He activated his Spiritual Energy and used his hand like a blade to strike at the statue of the Eastern Deity. A surge of energy shot forth like a great sword and cleaved the statue in two with a thunderous crash.
As they witnessed the destruction of the statue, those Onmyoji were furious and prepared to fight Jiang Chen desperately.
Jiang Chen stomped on the ground, causing stone slabs to rise up and smash into these Onmyoji, leaving them bloodied and battered.
After a moment of calmness returned, chaos reigned in the hall; only Jiang Chen remained standing with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting.
"You... how dare you disrespect the Eastern Deity! You’re doomed! Once the Eastern Deity emerges, you will regret it!" The elderly Onmyoji said with blood on his face, filled with indignation.
"Isn’t it time for him to come out?" Jiang Chen smiled faintly and called out loudly.
His voice resonated like a great bell throughout every corner of the shrine.
