"Congratulations, you guessed right." Ma Ran smiled warmly as before.
Ogata Shitou was silent for a long ti, then said softly, "Mr. Zhao Guanlan, may I ask... what exactly is your purpose in descending upon Japan?"
"If I rember correctly, isn’t Cangming Star a strategic partner of China?"
"Of course, this is not ant to offend your privacy. If you don’t want to answer, you absolutely don’t have to."
At this point, Ogata Shitou added, "I was just thinking if there’s anything I can do to help you."
It’s not that he wanted to be so humble.
It’s just that the other’s aura was too terrifying!
Don’t be fooled by this guy who’s left with only a head, always with a smiling, harmless appearance. The skills related to "observation" and "detection" that Ogata Shitou learned through the [Yin Yang Master] ability allowed him to clearly feel the other’s terror!
Even without considering this, just thinking about the performance of the first two visitors from Cangming Star, it wouldn’t be wrong to show a certain degree of respect to this head in front of him.
"That’s good, you’re so understanding, I won’t bother to answer then."
Ma Ran looked at Ogata Shitou gently, his tone soft, "Take your ti to guess."
"The process of exploration and solving mysteries is a kind of fun..."
The fake smile on Ogata Shitou’s face gradually stiffened.
"Hahahaha!"
Ma Ran suddenly burst into malicious laughter, "Just joking, descending upon Japan wasn’t even my intention!"
Saying this, he turned his neck, "See? I’m only left with a head; my immortal body was completely shattered."
"In my current state, I don’t have much confidence to face the ’Ice River Immortals’ who have connections with the Sword Master and Demon Spawn..."
"Speaking of which, young man, your Chinese is quite good."
"Originally, I thought this place had also fallen under the control of the Ice River Immortals..."
Ogata Shitou took a deep breath, quickly composing himself.
The keyword "Ice River Immortals" was sothing he knew.
It should be part of the Earth’s efforts against a period of Little Ice Age, ntioned in the heritage left by the Sword Master before the rise of Demon Spawn, which included Prophet Ma Ran and Martial God Su Qiangwei!
And due to the ignorance of the Chinese language among people on Cangming Star, a misunderstanding led to the blunder of the "Ice River Immortals."
During the ti Demon Spawn ca to Earth, all his forces seem to have disintegrated and vanished, the Blood Lotus Dynasty collapsed, and certain understandings of the Sword Master’s legacy were "corrected."
That’s why a "later generation" like Profound Immortal Zhao Guanlan would say such words!
As for Mandarin...
Originally, Ogata Shitou could speak it, but only at an entry-level, far from being able to communicate normally with others.
Later, through the [Yin Yang Master] ability, during an Outer Star disaster incident, he made the soul of an unfortunate ’proficient in Chinese’ foreign language translator into a shikigami, and within five nights, absorbed his knowledge in his sleep, mastering this ability. Only then did he dispel the shikigami to avoid occupying a slot.
"Phew..."
Ogata Shitou quickly sorted out his thoughts, focusing his gaze on the handso head in front of him, eyes sharp, and said, "Then... let’s not beat around the bush."
"I’ll ask one most important question directly..."
"Will you possess ?"
"If so..."
"Even if I’m no match for you, I’ll fight with all my strength to seek a path to survival."
Ma Ran laughed wildly as if he had heard sothing hilarious, "Sumr insects cannot discuss ice, well frogs cannot discuss the sea. Why would I want to possess you? Do you think your filthy mortal body would interest ?"
As he spoke, a slight buzzing of electric current resounded.
Buzz, buzz, buzz...
Purple-black thunderlight slowly erged from the severed neck, quickly expanding and condensing into a skeletal structure.
Amidst flickering electric light, blood, muscles, and skin rapidly ford.
In an instant, a young man about six feet two inches tall, slender and slightly thin, appeared before Ogata Shitou.
A set of purple suits, seemingly custom-made, highlighted the perfect physique of the other.
"Although it’s just a second-rate spiritual form, it’s good enough for now."
Hearing this, Ogata Shitou looked at the alien nad "Zhao Guanlan" in front of him, feeling an intangible and terrifying pressure that almost made him want to kneel on the tatami.
Before he could respond, the other reached out with a smile, saying in a gentle tone, "Young man, be my dog!"
This was such an insult!
Ogata Shitou bit his lower lip.
If it were another S-level Superpower User, upon hearing this, they would likely charge forward imdiately to fight!
But he is different...
From a young age, he has always acted with caution, even when extrely angry, he wouldn’t act impulsively.
The opponent was too strong!
So strong that it was impossible to summon the courage to make a move!
Plus, he acted recklessly and brazenly!
Recklessly rejecting the other’s "invitation aboard" would likely...
No, it would certainly result in death!
As Ogata Shitou found himself trapped in a dilemma, a loud explosion suddenly rang out.
Boom!
Flas flared up.
A spirited youth in black kimono appeared at the entrance.
The entrance is the transitional area between the main door and the main hall.
Since Ogata Shitou dislikes interacting with people yet needs to maintain his mystique and preserve certain secrets, this residence is only occupied by him, except for cleaning personnel who co at scheduled tis every seven days.
Due to many shikigami created with the [Yin Yang Master] ability, living alone in this area didn’t cause him trouble, and under normal circumstances, he could fend for himself completely.
While enjoying the convenience of living alone, there are naturally so inconveniences as well.
For instance, when impolite guests suddenly show up, there’s no attendant to stop them.
"Tabuchi Hiromu."
Ogata Shitou let out a sigh.
He wasn’t sure whether to be angry or feel sorry for the other.
As a family of prestige comparable to the Ogata family, the Tabuchi family holds power and influence.
Normally, when Tabuchi Hiromu acted arrogantly before him, Ogata Shitou would back down due to various practical considerations and avoid any conflicts or disputes.
But today...
"You should leave here quickly!" Ogata Shitou said in a low voice, his tone urgent.
Tabuchi Hiromu snorted, spreading his hands, on which dark blue flas flowed, his gaze fixed on Ma Ran, "Leave? Why should I leave?"
"If I hadn’t co here on a whim, I wouldn’t have known there was a ’foreign distinguished guest’ here!"
"Ogata Shitou, you really are colluding with China!"
"Catching you in the act today, Father will surely comnd when I return!"
Upon hearing this, Ogata Shitou held his hand to his forehead and sighed, "Fool! You..."
Just as he was about to advise the other to leave, a bolt of purple-black lightning descended from the sky.
Boom!
Muffled thunder rumbled.
The burnt sll spread across the courtyard.
In an instant, Tabuchi Hiromu was blasted to pieces by the thunder, shattering completely into fragnts scattered all over the ground.
Ogata Shitou felt like he was dreaming, "Lord Profound Immortal! Why did you kill him?"
There was clearly a better way to handle this...
Every move has broad implications; Tabuchi Hiromu represents much more than just himself!
In fact, Ma Ran’s reason was very simple.
Only four words — Earth traitor!
Tabuchi Hiromu was once a passionate and ambitious young man.
But he later forgot his original intentions, betrayed the Earth Civilization, and to sever all ties with the past, he beca extrely ruthless, even more abominable than alien invaders, directly causing the deaths of 530,000 Earth survivors.
Indirectly, the number of Earthlings who perished under him is countless!
rits and derits cannot offset each other!
In Japan...
Most people like Tabuchi Hiromu live quite comfortably now.
So...
"Why would I need a reason to kill him?"
Ma Ran’s explanation was simple and brutal, utterly willful, leaving Ogata Shitou seeing stars, almost losing his breath.
