At that moment, Xu Zhuzhu and the others were dumbfounded. Jiang Chen actually dared to kill someone, and right in the Island Nation at that. Du Guanghua felt cold sweat trickling down his forehead; if Jiang Chen had the audacity to kill in the Takeda Family's territory, then taking him down would certainly be a piece of cake. The more Du Guanghua thought about it, the more anxious he became. He had never felt this tense in his life; even in the dead of winter, he was drenched in cold sweat.
"How could he have the guts to kill in the Island Nation? He must know there will be dire consequences. By the way, where are your military forces? Are they really going to let him run rampant here?" Qian Xinyi frowned, unable to accept Jiang Chen's sudden ferocity. Just moments ago, she had been mocking him.
"Right, your military should definitely not let him get away with this, right? Besides, there's also the Eastern Deity. If this Eastern Deity truly exists, I refuse to believe that a god wouldn't be able to handle him." Du Guanghua felt slightly reassured; after all, how could an ordinary person like Jiang Chen possibly stand against the Eastern Deity? And he was killing people in the Island Nation—surely the military wouldn't just sit back and do nothing. The more Du Guanghua thought about it, the calmer he became, and his anxiety 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 praying. This was actually quite good for Jiang Chen; after all, if there were too many people around, innocent bystanders could get hurt.
As Jiang Chen entered the hall, he saw the statue of the Eastern Deity—a kind-looking man dressed in a white robe. This was how the Eastern Deity had chosen to manifest as a human form to deceive the world.
His footsteps startled several onmyoji in the hall. They were not vengeful spirits but rather human onmyoji responsible for maintaining the shrine.
"Are you the one who killed Yo Yinan?" an elderly onmyoji who spoke Huaxia Language asked solemnly.
"Bring out the Eastern Deity," Jiang Chen said casually as he looked at the statue.
Seeing that Jiang Chen was evading his question, the elderly onmyoji's expression darkened immediately.
"Who do you think you are to demand an audience with the Eastern Deity?" he said ominously, appearing ready to confront Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen couldn't even be bothered to look at him and replied coolly, "You are not my match."
"Ridiculous! This is the Eastern Deity Shrine! Even if you have extraordinary abilities, you must behave yourself here," scoffed the elderly onmyoji. After all these years of painstaking effort to build up their stronghold, they naturally 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 lost interest in further conversation. He activated his Spiritual Energy and directly formed his hand into a blade aimed at the statue of the Eastern Deity. A burst of energy shot forth like a great sword, cleaving through the statue and causing it to collapse into two pieces with a thunderous crash.
As they witnessed their statue being destroyed, those onmyoji were furious and sought to retaliate against Jiang Chen.
Jiang Chen stomped on the ground, causing stone slabs to rise up and smash into these onmyoji, leaving them bloodied and battered.
When calm returned after the chaos, only Jiang Chen remained standing in the hall with his hands behind his back, quietly waiting.
"You... you dare show such disrespect to the Eastern Deity? You’re doomed! Once the Eastern Deity emerges, you won’t have time to regret your actions," said the elderly onmyoji with blood on his face, filled with indignation.
"Isn't it time for him to come out?" Jiang Chen smiled lightly and called out loudly.
His voice echoed like a bell throughout every corner of the shrine.
