Old Li and Old Wang have been in seclusion here for over twenty years.
Twenty years ago, Li Chuan didn't even know where he was; those are all stories from the past.
However, now that Li Chuan is the Sect Leader of the Seven Kills Sect, he still wants to clarify so things about its past.
Old Li was silent for a mont, then said, "Do you know about the 749 Bureau?"
"The 749 Bureau? Isn't that just a fabrication, or is it really..." Mid-sentence, Li Chuan stopped abruptly because he suddenly rembered Old Master Zhou ntioning that in his youth, he joined a special departnt full of extraordinary individuals — could this be the 749 Bureau?
"Old Li, is the 749 Bureau you ntioned the one that dealt specifically with the little Japs back then?"
Old Li nodded, sowhat surprised: "So you've heard of the 749 Bureau too. Indeed, back then, when the little Japs rampaged across Huaxia, their main task was to deal with the Yin Yang Masters, Warriors, and Ninjas among them."
"Most of the mbers of the 749 Bureau were top experts from various Jianghu sects and military personnel!"
"And these sects have been passed down for thousands of years on Huaxia's land; our Seven Kills Sect is just a trivial branch among them."
"But our sects have endured till now because we can act in solidarity, helping each other!"
"Moreover, our Jianghu sects never involve ourselves in the struggles of the court unless it's a matter of national survival."
"After that great war decades ago, we gradually withdrew from the 749 Bureau, although so people remained."
"Does what I'm saying make sense to you?"
Li Chuan nodded: "Yes, every sect that has survived till now has its own depth and rules, and being able to retreat in a tily fashion is indeed not easy but a very wise choice."
Old Wang added, "Exactly, only this way can our sects survive."
"However, after that battle, we killed many of the little Japs' Yin Yang Masters, Warriors, and Ninjas, forming an irreconcilable enmity with them!"
"Although it's peaceful now, the conflicts in Jianghu have never ceased; they've just moved from the open to the covert!"
"Over twenty years ago, I succeeded the position of Sect Leader of the Seven Kills Sect from my senior brother, and at that ti, the Japanese Yin Yang Master Yamamoto ca to provoke us."
"Facing these provocations from the little devils, of course, I didn't back down and accepted their challenge."
"At that ti, a very famous Japanese Great Yin Yang Master ca, and many advised to avoid them temporarily."
"But how could I let a little Jap be so arrogant? I wouldn't be able to swallow my pride without cracking his skull."
"In the end, I was outmatched, but luckily, Old Wang arrived just in ti to save , and then I ended up recuperating in Taohua Village."
Hearing this, Li Chuan roughly understood the cause and effect, and it's no wonder the Sect Leader of the Seven Kills Sect was in seclusion in a small village.
After a mont of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Uncle Li, is this Great Yin Yang Master of the Yamamoto family skilled in Gu Technique, Insect Technique, and Witchcraft?"
Old Li was sowhat surprised: "How did you know? This Yin Yang Master of the Yamamoto family is called Yamamoto Ichiro. It's said that when he was young, he traveled alone to Nanyang to cultivate his Yin Yang Skill and combined it with the Witchcraft from Nanyang to create the Yin Yang Insect Technique, which is extrely sinister and vicious."
Li Chuan thought for a mont and then said, "Is there soone nad Zhou Huai'an in the 749 Bureau?"
Subsequently, Li Chuan recounted the story of treating Old Master Zhou in the provincial capital.
Upon hearing this, Old Li was enlightened: "So it's Old Master Zhou. He was a War God of the 749 Bureau, having made countless war achievents. The little Japs absolutely hate him; even after their withdrawal from Great Xia, they would love nothing more than to eat his flesh and gnaw his bones!"
Saying this, Old Li fell silent for a mont, then asked, "So, when you were treating Old Master Zhou, you unknowingly fell victim to the Gu Technique, with an insect lurking in your heart?"
Saying this, Old Li's expression grew sowhat solemn and grave.
"Yamamoto Ichiro's Yin Yang Insect Technique is very bizarre; I was initially defeated by him."
"How do you feel now?"
Li Chuan: "No strange feelings, just inexplicably slowed down in my cultivation progress."
Old Li: "Give your hand; let check your pulse."
Li Chuan extended his hand.
Monts later, Old Li's face revealed a peculiar look: "Li Chuan... you're not an ordinary Martial Artist, are you?"
"Indeed, I'm a cultivator," Li Chuan confessed to Old Li without hiding his identity since, at this point, he could be considered half a disciple of Old Li.
Old Li laughed heartily: "I didn't expect you to be a cultivator, a Qi Refiner. In this case, our Seven Kills Sect has really struck a bargain!"
Old Wang also chid in: "No wonder even the formidable thods of the Seven Kills Sect couldn't handle you; turns out you're a cultivator!"
"True," Old Li's smile faded, "but even as a Qi Cultivator, it's still challenging to deal with the insect in your heart."
"Yamamoto Ichifumi's Yin Yang Insect Technique isn't about ordinary Gu Insects; it doesn't just parasitize on the host but also absorbs the host's Essence, Qi, and Spirit, and even their fortune, growing stronger as the host's power increases!"
Li Chuan frowned: "So, my power stagnation and slowed cultivation speed are related to this thing, right?"
Old Li shook his head: "I haven't cultivated, so I'm not sure, but based on what you've described, it's highly likely."
"How can this insect be destroyed?" Li Chuan's face darkened. This insect was indeed eerie; otherwise, he wouldn't have been unaware of it all along. As long as the insect remained, he would be restless, like a thorn lodged in his body.
Old Li shook his head: "It's hard to say; unless Yamamoto Ichiro himself has a solution."
Li Chuan: "..."
This was undoubtedly the worst news he had received recently.
"But don't worry," Old Li said, "based on what you just told , I suddenly thought of a possibility."
"These Japanese Yin Yang Masters are highly superstitious about national fortune and have great faith in our Feng Shui. I rember that Yamamoto Ichiro crafted a type of Yin Yang Gu Insect capable of parasitizing within people with great fortune, absorbing not only their fortune but also the Dragon Vein Spiritual Qi of their surroundings due to the host's status, which is quite extraordinary."
"If this Yin Yang Gu Insect has been dormant in Old Master Zhou for so many years, then it ans it doesn't harm the human body, just absorbs fortune!"
"In that case, killing Yamamoto Ichiro will cause the Yin Yang Gu Insect to perish instantly!"
"At that mont, won't all the fortune accumulated by this insect over the decades be yours?"
"Fortune is invisible, formless, and traceless, yet it undeniably exists!"
"I might not have cultivated, but I've read many ancient texts and understand that what Qi Cultivators refine is fortune!"
"Anyway, this matter could be both a disaster and a blessing for you."
"If you're able to kill Yamamoto Ichiro, that's your fortune!"
Upon hearing this, Li Chuan's spirit lifted.
If this were true, it would indeed be a boon for him!
"Uncle Li, where is this Yamamoto Ichiro?" Li Chuan was eager to eliminate Yamamoto Ichiro, but considering those little Japs are most likely in Japan, it would be quite troubleso to go there.
"Don't rush; even if you don't seek him out, he will co to find you," Old Li chuckled, "Creating such a precious thing as a Yin Yang Gu Insect which can steal fortune is no simple feat. This little creature is very valuable. With it currently in your body, how could Yamamoto Ichiro not co looking for you?"
"Once Yamamoto Ichiro cos for you, the Gu Insect inside you will definitely react!"
