"Leave it to ..."
Lin Qian was not at all modest, nodded, and accepted the task, then began to prepare.
The secret technique she used was a secret technique from the Thousand Sects' secret transmission, even among the Five Great Thousand Sects Families, only a few in the Lin Family practiced it, and none of the other four families had learned it...
Even though Lin Qian mainly focused on martial arts, her attainnt in cheating skills wasn't low, reaching the master level, barely matching Qin Fang's own level in cheating skills, but Qin Fang had the Qianji Ring that could enhance his cheating skills level.
This secret technique is called Soul Hooking...
Of course, this has nothing to do with the soul-hooking technique that manipulates the soul, it is just a very bizarre application within the Qiann Illusion Technique, originally created by the patriarch in so very accidental circumstances.
Due to its sudden origin and stringent requirents, few have truly been able to cultivate it... coupled with the fact that the Five Great Thousand Sects Families each have their own exclusive secret techniques, this Soul Hooking technique naturally beca unique to the Lin Family.
This actually doesn't have much to do with Qin Fang, for he never intended to learn this particular secret technique... It's a Lin Family secret transmission, and if Qin Fang were to learn it, it would create significant trouble for Lin Qian, even though now Lin Qian has essentially defected from the family, Qin Fang still didn't want to make it hard for her.
The Soul Hooking technique is a very rare secret technique that requires so preparations before activation, such as certain tools necessary for the technique, etc... However, these had already been prepared in advance, sparing so trouble.
"Formation?"
Even though Qin Fang didn't intend to illicitly learn this secret technique, he stood by her side as a protector when Lin Qian began, and he could see a bit more about it given his cheating skills were a level above Lin Qian while wearing the Qianji Ring.
As soon as Lin Qian started, Qin Fang noticed that it contained a very special formation... seemingly resembling so kind of special Illusion Array.
Inside the Illusion Array, so special tools were placed... these special tools were specifically selected, based on Qin Tiannan's introduction about Hattori Ryuuichi's personality as chosen by Lin Qian.
"Start!!"
The casting process wasn't particularly complicated, once the formation was fully set up, Lin Qian imdiately used the technique to trigger the formation, and the secret technique began to operate... a very peculiar aura was released from the formation.
Buzz~~~
Simultaneously, Qin Fang could clearly feel that the atmosphere around seed to change a little differently, at least remarkably different from before, yet try as he might he couldn't pinpoint exactly what had changed.
Everything seed to stem from a change within his own mind!
"Everyone, prepare yourselves, ready for battle at any ti!"
Qin Fang didn't dwell on it much but considered that Hattori Ryuuichi was exceptionally cautious, and even if he ca out from Koya Temple, he likely wouldn't be alone, possibly accompanied by many experts...
Great Grandmaster-level experts were unlikely, the entire Iga School having two or three Great Grandmaster-level experts was already formidable, their prowess could almost chase after Japan's Six Great Holy Lands, how could they be subdued beneath them?
So, Qin Fang mused, the Iga School at most had two Great Grandmaster-level experts, besides Hattori Ryuuichi, there might just be another one... but the Iga main stronghold also needed soone to guard it, so the other would most likely stay to safeguard the old nest.
There's no choice, though the Iga School is formidable, it has many foes, notably the Koga School.
Once, the Iga and Koga were known as Japan's two major Ninja Schools, their strength always on par, but in the past century, under Iga's suppression, the Koga School weakened, yet their animosity grew deeper.
If Koga's experts got wind that Iga's main stronghold had no Great Grandmaster-level expert guarding it, they would surely launch a full-scale attack, even if it couldn't annihilate it, it would undoubtedly cause significant damage...
For this reason, there's undoubtedly a Great Grandmaster-level expert guarding the Iga stronghold, so Hattori Ryuuichi coming out would only bring along so Grandmaster Peak strongn at most, and not many of such experts.
"Leave the Grandmaster Peak strongn to , as for the others... it'll depend on you all!"
Given Qin Fang's current cultivation, he wouldn't boast about killing Grandmaster Peak strongn strongly, but enduring them would prove no significant issue... against experts below Grandmaster Peak, he would handle them quite effortlessly.
Nonetheless, Monk Wukong and the others weren't weaklings either, over the past month, they've reaped nurous benefits under the guidance of Qin Zi.
The Priest Trials aren't just trials for a few candidates; the entourage of candidates also needs to participate in the battle, although the benefits they obtain aren't as significant as those for the candidates... Nonetheless, this has elevated the strength of these individuals by almost a small level.
Especially Monk Wukong, whose cultivation has almost reached the peak of the Grandmaster Mid-Stage, his combat power is close to the Master Level Late-Stage, just slightly weaker than Qin Fang... This is the powerful foundation of a core disciple from the Thousand-Year Sect.
In this regard, Song Qingshan and Ji Xiang fall far behind, and Hattori Sanzo, the old man, is even more incomparable!
Of course, although Qin Fang's side has fewer people, their overall strength is extrely formidable, almost entirely at the Grandmaster Level and above, including the top expert Qin Tiannan at the Great Grandmaster Level... Particularly Qin Tiannan, wielding the Qianyu Divine Sword, is frighteningly powerful.
To be on the safe side, Qin Tiannan specifically took a Berserk Potion from Qin Fang, preparing in case Hattori Ryuuichi gets desperate... After all, the foundation of the Iga School is quite deep, not weaker than a sect like Dragon Country's Tianchi Sect; they might have sothing kept in reserve.
"There's movent..."
Just as Qin Fang was contemplating the battle plan, Lin Qian detected so movent and imdiately quietly alerted everyone. Qin Fang and the others tensed slightly, entering a combat-ready state.
Everyone's attention focused in the direction of Koya Temple, waiting for Hattori Ryuuichi and others to erge... Especially Qin Fang, whose small map continuously scanned for activity, allowing him to see further than others.
"They're coming out..."
A mont later, even before Qin Fang's small map displayed the movents of Hattori Ryuuichi and his people, Lin Qian already anticipated their ergence.
"This secret technique is really amazing!"
The outco made Qin Fang extol in admiration; it seed like the movents of Hattori Ryuuichi and his people were constantly under Lin Qian's control, yet Lin Qian had only a few simple items in front of her.
The wonder of the Thousand Sects Secret Transmission, evident from this.
Of course, now is not the ti for Qin Fang to marvel at this, because his small map has already begun to display various people's trajectories, among them a particularly vigorous presence — his Qin Family's great enemy, Hattori Ryuuichi.
"They're coming..."
Qin Fang also gave a relaxed reminder, causing everyone's expressions to tense slightly; Qin Tiannan stood up, his sharp gaze focused in Koya Temple's direction, anticipating Hattori Ryuuichi's arrival.
Inside Koya Temple.
"Sir, it's quite late to leave Koya Temple, seems a bit..."
Hattori Ryuuichi walked ahead with furrowed brows, seemingly drawn by sothing, causing a strange feeling among his nearby subordinates, prompting one to inquire in puzzlent.
They were longti followers of Hattori Ryuuichi, thoroughly familiar with their leader's personality... Yet due to this familiarity, they found it strange, as this was not typical behavior for Hattori Ryuuichi.
"Hmph..."
Unfortunately, the response was a cold snort from Hattori Ryuuichi, unleashing Great Grandmaster Rank aura, instantly paling the face of a Master Level Late-Stage subordinate, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
This single cold snort inflicted internal injuries on a Master Level Late-Stage expert... Though not heavily injurious, it underscored the vast disparity between them!
Hattori Ryuuichi is extrely cautious yet exceedingly domineering; once he makes a decision, few can sway him. His absolute authority in the Iga School is unchallenged.
Even those close confidantes struggle to influence him significantly... Any doubt encounters the outco seen earlier, which is mild; anger the man, and it spells certain doom.
"Why do I have this feeling? So familiar..."
In truth, Hattori Ryuuichi himself was engulfed in a peculiar sensation, seemingly summoned toward a particular direction by an unusually appealing sound resonating in his mind, almost irresistibly.
Ordinarily, soone of his cultivation would be extrely cautious with such strange occurrences... Yet inexplicably, this sound felt familiar, intimate, without an inkling of danger.
Precisely for that reason, he was adamantly leaving Koya Temple, following the sound's call, eager to uncover the voice's lure!
"One Great Grandmaster Level expert, one Grandmaster Peak, two Master-Level Late-Stage, and four Grandmaster Mid-Stage... The depth of the Iga School is truly substantial!"
Once these individuals erged from Koya Temple, they naturally entered Qin Fang's small map's coverage, their capabilities under his complete surveillance. (To be continued.
