Hodoka Makoto imdiately sneered, "Hmph! I'm afraid that if I tell you what our Hatano Family relies on, you'll be so scared you'll wet your pants on the spot!"
"Hahahaha! I've never heard such an amusing joke! In this vast land of Dongying, is there anything that would make wet my pants? Is your reliance Yamata no Orochi? Sorry, but it seems our Tokugawa Family has a better relationship with Yamata no Orochi, doesn't it?" Tokugawa Ryōji burst into laughter.
After all, the Tokugawa Family has held power over Dongying for two or three hundred years and has surely had plenty of contact with Yamata no Orochi. When he says they have a better relationship, it's the truth.
In fact, there's hardly anyone in all of Dongying whose relationship with Yamata no Orochi can compare to that of the Tokugawa Family.
"Yamata no Orochi? Hmph! Our Hatano Family now officially declares that we are ending our faith in Yamata no Orochi!" Hodoka Makoto was truly a man of action; he said it and did it without any hesitation.
His extrely keen intuition told him that although Yamata no Orochi was incredibly powerful, with an enormous base of followers throughout Dongying—virtually every Dongying person is a loyal believer—
But, the ergence of Xu Hao made him certain that the faith in Yamata no Orochi would inevitably co to an end with Xu Hao's arrival!
Adding flowers to a brocade is not as good as sending charcoal in snowy weather.
Aligning with Xu Hao before he fully develops is surely a better opportunity to gain more protection than those who will co later.
He is almost gambling.
Gambling that this young strongman from Huaya, Xu Hao, will surely defeat the body of Yamata no Orochi and smash it down from the altar!
When everyone heard Hodoka Makoto's words, they were all stunned.
Even the mbers of the Hatano Family were dumbfounded, staring at their Clan Leader, not understanding what sort of madness had overtaken him.
The belief in Yamata no Orochi is deeply ingrained in every Dongying person's bones; how could it be changed so easily?
Yet, they never imagined that Hodoka Makoto would dare to publicly announce the end of their faith in Yamata no Orochi, sothing countless people wanted to do but never dared!
Tokugawa Ryōji roared angrily, "Hodoka Makoto, you're courting death! By daring to renounce the faith in Yamata no Orochi, you will undoubtedly provoke countless people to condemn you! You and your Hatano Family are destined to be torn apart by countless blades!"
Hodoka Makoto sneered, "As it turns out, Yamata no Orochi is just an ordinary creature, not a true god as people say. Breaking my faith in it isn't inappropriate, is it?"
"Is it because of Xu Hao's appearance that you've started to doubt Yamata no Orochi's divinity?"
Tokugawa Ryōji imdiately said disdainfully, "I didn't expect your vision to be so shallow. Xu Hao's strength is indeed formidable, and even the elders of our family are talking about it. But don't forget, no matter how strong Xu Hao is, he cannot be a match for Yamata no Orochi! Because the strength Yamata no Orochi showed today was nothing but one of its avatars.
How much power does one avatar have compared to Yamata no Orochi itself? It even said it was less than one-billionth of its true strength! This Xu Hao from Huaya only defeated one avatar. What qualifications does he have to be compared with the real Yamata no Orochi? He's not even worthy to carry Yamata no Orochi's shoes!"
"Hmph! That's just what you think, but I believe Master Xu is definitely stronger than Yamata no Orochi!" Hodoka Makoto imdiately retorted.
At this mont, Xu Hao said calmly to Tokugawa Ryōji, "You claim Yamata no Orochi's strength is imnse, so tell , why didn't it directly attack Xu Hao tonight?"
Tokugawa Ryōji snorted, "That must be because Yamata no Orochi is concerned about its own dignity and doesn't want to create an overly bloody scene in front of the world."
"Heh, do you even believe what you're saying?" Xu Hao said calmly.
Perhaps Tokugawa Ryōji knew so things about Yamata no Orochi. After all, in Dongying, without Yamata no Orochi's consent, the Tokugawa Family couldn't have ruled Dongying for so long.
Tokugawa Ryōji sneered, "Why wouldn't I believe it? What I said is true. Yamata no Orochi is simply too lazy to fight that guy Xu Hao. Otherwise, it could send out five or six more avatars, and puny Xu Hao would be killed in an instant!"
"Does Yamata no Orochi have that many avatars?" Xu Hao imdiately asked.
"Hmph! The power and thods of Yamata no Orochi are beyond the imagination of soone like you... Eh, who are you, boy? Why are you asking such strange questions?" Tokugawa Ryōji suddenly realized, quickly looking at Xu Hao with vigilance.
"I am Xu Hao." Xu Hao looked down at him and said calmly, "Tell everything you know about Yamata no Orochi, and I will spare your life!"
