"You... you're Xu Hao?!"
Everyone in the Tokugawa Family was stunned.
Tokugawa Ryōji was even more flabbergasted and said, "I...you...I don't believe you're Xu Hao! How could Xu Hao possibly be here? He just fought with Yamata no Orochi and should be resting. It's already late at night."
"What? You don't think I'm Xu Hao?" Xu Hao asked calmly.
"No... it's... could you display your strength?" Tokugawa Ryōji said, slightly scared.
He wasn't a fool. Xu Hao's strength was formidable, and even though he had just bragged about the Yamata no Orochi's power, he was still trembling with fear when facing Xu Hao himself, a natural awe towards a superior.
He thought he had many good years ahead of him and couldn't die ambiguously halfway through.
Xu Hao smiled slightly and said, "Why should I prove my identity to a re ant like you?"
"Because..." Tokugawa Ryōji was instantly stunned.
Xu Hao's words were reasonable. If he truly was Xu Hao, he didn't need to prove his identity to a re ant.
However, he said stubbornly, "But I still don't believe..."
Before he could finish, Xu Hao said calmly, "Whether you believe it or not doesn't matter. Leave here now; the Hatano Family is already my vassal family. Their renunciation of faith in the Yamata no Orochi was my decision."
Since Hodoka Makoto proactively sought his alliance, Xu Hao naturally took everything upon himself to save those irrational Dongying people from retaliating against them.
Seeing Tokugawa Ryōji's attitude towards Xu Hao, Hatano Naiko imdiately said, "Young Master Ryōji, why do you regard Xu Hao with such reverence? You and your family are blessed by Yamata no Orochi, aren't you?"
Tokugawa Ryōji thought about how useful Yamata no Orochi's blessing was.
After all, the Tokugawa Shogunate had fallen in the nineteenth century Middle Phase.
However, he couldn't possibly say such treacherous words out loud; he firmly believed in Yamata no Orochi's power. After a montary shock from Xu Hao's words, Tokugawa Ryōji finally said, "Xu Hao, even if you are him, you can't do this! Don't you know the importance of Yamata no Orochi's faith to us Dongying people? You're desecrating our beliefs by letting the Hatano Family do this!"
"Desecrating your beliefs? Ridiculous!"
Xu Hao coldly scrutinized the crowd and said, "Let tell you, in Huaya, we eliminated feudal superstitions long ago. In contrast, here in Dongying, despite having developed earlier than us, there's still a strong residue of feudal superstition. This is very bad.
Not to ntion the ancient abodes of the gods that you wouldn't know about, let's focus on the Yamata no Orochi that you Dongying people currently worship. It's actually just a serpent well-versed in cultivation. It possesses so special powers and pretends to be a deity before you mortals, leading your ancestors to worship it as a deity.
But in reality, it's far inferior to the abodes of the gods from the Era of the Gods! I just defeated one of its avatars, can't you see that? If it were a true deity, why would it be defeated by a human like ? Are gods not supposed to be impossible for humans to defeat?"
Many remained silent.
If soone else claid Yamata no Orochi wasn't a deity, it would have no persuasive power.
But this ti, the one speaking was Xu Hao, a human powerhouse who just killed an avatar of Yamata no Orochi!
He proved that Yamata no Orochi isn't invincible!
It is not a true deity!
Listening to Xu Hao's words, Tokugawa Ryōji roared with anger, "Xu Hao, you're spouting nonsense! Yamata no Orochi's power isn't what you imagine. Don't think you can boast just because you killed one of its avatars. It's simply impossible!"
"Ha, if that's the case, why not have Yamata no Orochi co and kill ?" Xu Hao said calmly.
He wasn't afraid at all; Yamata no Orochi must be bound by sothing, preventing it from freely entering and exiting the Yamata Shrine, or it surely would have co to kill him.
"Hmph! Yamata no Orochi certainly can't co here right now; it has many things to handle every day!"
Tokugawa Ryōji snorted coldly and said, "But I'm not here to argue with you; I'm looking for my sister, Hodoka Moyo. Why haven't I seen her..."
Before he could finish speaking, he saw Hodoka Moyo walking this way, and he exclaid joyfully, "Hodoka Moyo, where have you been?"
When Hodoka Moyo saw Tokugawa Ryōji, her face imdiately fell and she snorted coldly, "Do I have to report where I went?"
After saying this, she walked up to Xu Hao, took out a test report, and respectfully said to Xu Hao, "Master, this is my test report."
