Chapter 514: Second Circle Expert Arrives, Go Ahead and Kill Me If You Dare!
......
Kaminoue Kazuo didn't waste any time and went directly to the location of Tai Island's Dragon Wall.
With a flash of his token.
He walked straight into this heavily guarded place.
As the Dragon Wall activated, rumbling sounds echoed.
The images within swirled like a vortex, mesmerizing and drawing one deep inside.
The slightest carelessness would pull someone into it.
Though both were Dragon Walls.
The difference between Tai Island's and the Great Han's became starkly apparent at this moment.
As a vast pressure descended.A foot wearing leather shoes stepped out from within and landed on the ground.
Slap!!!!
The man walked forward.
Scanning his surroundings, he frowned and said: "So this is the Third Circle after all..."
"The spiritual energy is truly sparse."
Though his words themselves weren't problematic—this being factual truth—
The shifting emphases, facial expressions, and underlying emotions.
All revealed his arrogance and disdain for this place.
Kami Mukuo.
Second Circle Tai Island, Five Decays of Heaven-Man realm, First Restriction Qi Refiner.
The Five Decays of Heaven-Man consist of five restrictions: soiled garments, withered head adornments, sweating armpits, foul body odor, and displeasure in one's seat.
Passing one barrier breaks one restriction, passing two breaks two restrictions.
Since this was an unauthorized crossing violating Third Circle alliance rules, the person who clashed with Kagu Yu in the Second Circle didn't dare send stronger experts, fearing it would cause too great a disturbance in the world.
If the mission got discovered by Third Circle forces before even starting, what would be the point?
Thus, that person sent Kami Mukuo, this death warrior, instead.
Simultaneously, that person instructed Kami Mukuo.
If the mission succeeded, no need for explanations—return quickly, don't prolong combat, your target is only Kagu Yu and what he holds.
He probably hasn't reported yet, otherwise the Great Han would surely have come knocking.
If the mission fails, then push all blame onto Dong Minglong of the Dragon Keeper Clan.
Grudges are grudges.
Rules are rules.
Sending one's own people to eliminate one's own Third Circle Heavenly Perception agents—this is a grudge matter, and nothing stays hidden forever;
even if exposed, it can be resolved.
But if Second Circle Tai Island allowed Dong Minglong and these people to come through, causing them to attack the Great Han.
Then... the nature would be completely different.
Hinata Inujin, who clashed with Kagu Yu in the Second Circle, only wants Kagu Yu dead!!!
He wouldn't dare provoke the Great Han without obtaining support and approval.
Thinking this, Kami Mukuo looked toward Kaminoue Kazuo, who was struggling to endure his oppressive aura.
"Where is that damned old man Kagu Yu!?"
Kaminoue Kazuo responded with difficulty: "Re...reporting, sir, he's... he's at the frontline command headquarters, planning surrender procedures toward the Great Han."
"Surrender to the Great Han?"
Hearing Kami Mukuo's questioning tone.
Kaminoue Kazuo felt delighted inwardly and immediately condemned the old man: "Yes, sir... exactly, this old fool has no bushido spirit whatsoever."
"He actually wants to surrender to a nation like the Great Ha—"
Before he could finish, Kami Mukuo's next words came.
"Why didn't he surrender earlier?"
Kaminoue Kazuo: "Huh??????"
This wasn't going how he imagined.
"Nevermind, it's unimportant. You're dismissed—just give me directions and go about your business."
"Yes, sir."
Kaminoue Kazuo took out his phone and set up navigation for this expert.
Reasonable, meticulous.
After all, Kami Mukuo had never been here before—how could he find the exact location just from hearing a name?
Checking the navigation.
Kami Mukuo took the phone: "So it's here..."
As he spoke, his figure instantly vanished.
Kaminoue Kazuo didn't dare delay and hurried out after him.
.....
At the Tai Island frontline command headquarters.
After Kaminoue Kazuo's departure earlier, the remaining people naturally unanimously approved Kagu Yu's proposal.
Amid a chorus of flattering praises calling him a patriot serving his nation and people, Kagu Yu returned to his room.
But the moment he entered.
He sensed something was wrong.
This was a signal from his sixth sense.
Receiving this signal, Kagu Yu didn't panic but calmly walked to his seat and sat down.
Crossing his legs.
He triggered a special mechanism under his desk.
Don't misunderstand—this wasn't a call for reinforcement button, but Kagu Yu's contingency plan to notify Kagu Muto to deliver materials to Lu Ding.
Knowing he might die, how could he not leave preparations?
The moment he pressed it.
From the darkness, Kami Mukuo emerged, his aura immediately locking onto Kagu Yu.
"Where is it!"
Kagu Yu raised his head with difficulty: "Where is what?"
"You're still playing dumb!!"
"I'm asking about the photos and videos you took!?"
Kagu Yu stiffened his neck: "Don't know. If you've got the guts, then kill me! Come on, kill me!!!"
Though he tried to suppress it when saying this, the excitement in his eyes was caught by Kami Mukuo.
Suspicion instantly arose in his mind.
This old man... something's strange about him.
Suddenly reaching out, he grabbed Kagu Yu's neck and lifted him up: "You're bluffing!"
Kagu Yu's smile didn't fade, and he offered no resistance: "How could that be? Come on, quickly, kill me, torture me, ravage me—that works too."
The words sounded increasingly perverse no matter how one heard them.
In ancient times, when Han emissaries went to the Western Regions, they'd die without making a sound—their manner of death exceeded enemies' imaginations.
Enemy: What instructions does the Han emissary have coming here?
Han emissary: Die here!
Enemy: ????
Han emissary: F*** you!! (Draws sword and commits suicide)
The simplest example: Su Wu herding sheep, according to "unofficial history" records.
Superficially, Su Wu went as emissary to the Western Regions and was unlawfully detained by the Xiongnu.
Actually, he went to their territory, stirring internal strife, conspiring to turn the Chanyu's mother and brothers, even attempting to kidnap the Chanyu himself back to the Great Han.
Having no choice yet not daring to kill him, they arranged a wife for him, marriage and children, having him herd sheep.
As for persuading him to submit...
Xiongnu: Brother, let's discuss this—I won't pursue you trying to take my mother away, nor you conspiring with my brothers. Just one request—I beg you, when you return, don't spread rumors, okay?
Uncooperative, they could only detain him.
At that time, countless Great Han soldiers eagerly awaited news of Su Wu's martyrdom.
'Brother, please die soon—we can't hold out much longer'
Most absurdly, even when Su Wu drew his sword and slit his throat, they still saved him.
Truly the highlight moment for witch doctors.
These similar historical anecdotes flashed through Kagu Yu's mind, filling him with immense yearning.
Body in enemy camp, heart with the Han!
Even if not a full Han emissary, he could count as half!
Such frank attitude actually made Kami Mukuo, who originally intended to kill him, hesitate slightly.
Kagu Yu never received the death he awaited.
He grew somewhat impatient.
"Are you killing me or not? If not, I'll call for help!!"
