I Have an All-Knowing Mirror

Chapter 57: The Bewildered Great Onmyoji

The familiar faces were precisely the four members of the Fuso Chizuru family: Chizuru Kamikawa, Chizuru Takahashi, Chizuru Tanaka, and Chizuru Qi.

At this moment, the four of them looked rather displeased, obediently making their way to the first-class cabin. As Chizuru Qi passed by Su Yuan, he even lowered his head and uttered an apology in the Fuso language.

Unfortunately, Su Yuan had long since altered his appearance and was no longer the 'kindred spirit' that Chizuru Qi regarded as Chizuru Kawashiro.

"These four..."

With just a glance, Su Yuan understood the entire backstory of why these four appeared here.

Several months ago, driven by Su Yuan's machinations, Chizuru Kamikawa and the others not only lost the Tianshan snow lotus but also fell into the hands of the Xia Country authorities.

However, since the four were ultimately members of the Fuso Chizuru family, over the following months, through mediation from their home country of Fuso, the Chizuru family was willing to pay a price to secure the return of Chizuru Kamikawa and the other three.

The Xia Country authorities did not refuse this offer, as after several months of interrogation, the four Chizuru family members had already confessed everything they knew—both what they should and shouldn't have revealed.

Keeping them any longer served no purpose.

It was better to release them in exchange for some benefits.As for whether releasing these four would leave behind any hidden dangers... on a national level, the impact of experts like Great Warriors and Yin-Yang Masters, who rival Transforming Force Grandmasters, wasn't as significant as one might imagine.

The reason Transforming Force Grandmasters are difficult to deal with in cities is primarily because they utilize large numbers of ordinary people as shields. In reality, if faced with extensive bullet coverage, even a Transforming Force Grandmaster would die.

......

And today was precisely the date set by the Xia Country authorities to release these four and send them back to their country.

"Now that I think about it, I do share quite a fate with this Chizuru family..."

A smile appeared on Su Yuan's face. Not only had he coincidentally encountered 'acquaintances' from the Chizuru family on the plane.

The plan he formulated through the mirror to obtain the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal also involved the Chizuru family.

As for the Molten Flame Spirit Crystal, forcefully taking it was certainly not an option, as doing so would create far too many hidden dangers.

Therefore.

The first step in the gray mirror's devised plan was to go to Fuso and then gain control over the Chizuru family's Great Yin-Yang Master, Chizuru Ichiyo.

He would then use disguise methods to replace this Great Yin-Yang Master, Chizuru Ichiyo.

This would allow him to smoothly integrate into Fuso's cultivation world, providing the necessary prerequisite identity conditions for obtaining that Molten Flame Spirit Crystal.

As for why he chose Chizuru Ichiyo... first, because Chizuru Ichiyo had sustained foundational injuries to his body during his past breakthrough attempts, making his strength lower than that of a normal Great Yin-Yang Master.

Second, because the Chizuru family, after the major purge some time ago, now suffered from a severe shortage of upper echelons. Simply put, their internal strength was weak.

Just as Su Yuan was pondering this.

Not far away, Chizuru Kamikawa and the other four were also conversing in low voices.

"I wonder what kind of punishment we'll face upon returning to the family this time..." Chizuru Takahashi said with a heavy expression.

Not only had they lost the Tianshan snow lotus, but the family also had to step in and pay a price to secure their release.

The family's losses from this entire ordeal were imaginable.

"Chizuru Qi, are you certain you memorized that person's appearance?" Chizuru Kamikawa looked toward Chizuru Qi.

The key to losing the Tianshan snow lotus lay in Chizuru Qi mistaking the contact person.

Therefore, that fake contact person was crucial, as he might hold some key clues.

"I remember it, and I can draw it too."

Chizuru Qi sighed and shook his head, "But the chances are probably slim."

Relying solely on appearance made it difficult to trace anything, since appearance wasn't like DNA information that could be changed and altered.

Moreover, upon reflection afterward, Chizuru Qi deeply realized that the mysterious person who had schemed against them possessed terrifyingly extreme methods. From beginning to end, without doing anything overt, that person had played the four of them like fools.

Even the Xia Country authorities had become a weapon in his hands, used to capture the four of them.

With such cunning planning methods, how could he possibly leave behind a major flaw like his real appearance?

However, even though Chizuru Qi felt there was little hope, he wouldn't voice this opinion.

At the very least, handing over the fake contact person's appearance counted as accomplishing something, so they wouldn't appear to have been completely manipulated from start to finish.

......

Soon.

The plane arrived in Fuso.

Su Yuan smoothly disembarked, then hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Chizuru family.

As for Chizuru Kamikawa and the other four Chizuru family members? They would take the family's special airport pickup vehicle, encounter traffic congestion on the road, be delayed for thirty minutes, and arrive back at the family in one hour and nine minutes.

Forty minutes later, Su Yuan successfully arrived outside the Chizuru family compound.

The Chizuru family's stronghold gathered thousands of people, most of whom were collateral members of the Chizuru family, with relatively few main lineage members. These thousands of people all lived within a fortress-like enclosure.

The fortress was heavily guarded, with patrolling bodyguards equipped with numerous firearms. Given the Chizuru family's accumulated resources, they had also secretly deployed some heavy firearms.

It could be said that the Chizuru family's fortress could be considered a state within a state. Combined with the presence of a Great Yin-Yang Master like Chizuru Ichiyo holding down the fort, it was almost impregnable.

At this moment, Su Yuan appeared near the Chizuru family fortress, waited for three minutes, and finally entered through the fortress's side gate.

At this specific time, the bodyguards patrolling the side gate would experience a twenty-second blind spot in their surveillance due to a shift change. Su Yuan used this blind spot to silently enter the fortress undetected.

The environment inside the fortress was even more complex. However, with the gray mirror's assistance, Su Yuan's understanding of the fortress interior was more thorough than even that of the Chizuru family members.

Before long, Su Yuan reached the core area within the fortress. From this point onward, the security measures intensified significantly.

Under this level of security, even a Level 1 lifeform would find it impossible to infiltrate, and a Level 2 lifeform would still have a high chance of being discovered.

After all, Level 2 lifeforms couldn't turn invisible. No matter how fast their speed or movement techniques were, it would be difficult to avoid attracting the attention of any bodyguards.

But this posed no difficulty whatsoever for Su Yuan. He was not only a Level 2 lifeform but also utilized the gray mirror to gain complete familiarity with all the security vulnerabilities in the core area.

Exploiting these security vulnerabilities, Su Yuan finally arrived before a shrine.

This shrine was the Chizuru family's important site and the place where the Great Yin-Yang Master Chizuru Ichiyo routinely secluded himself for closed-door cultivation.

Su Yuan didn't hesitate. At this moment, the shrine entrance was within a six-second visual blind spot. If he waited any longer, the passing patrolling bodyguards would spot him.

*Click~* Su Yuan directly entered the shrine.

Inside the shrine.

Chizuru Ichiyo, dressed in traditional Yin-Yang attire, wearing a tall black eboshi hat, with completely white hair and beard, was meditating with his eyes closed.

"Chizuru Qi and the others have already arrived in the country..."

Chizuru Ichiyo thought silently to himself. Because of the incident with that Tianshan snow lotus, he hadn't hesitated to conduct a major purge within the family.

Although the purge process undoubtedly affected many innocent Chizuru family members.

Chizuru Ichiyo always adhered to the principle of "rather wrongfully kill than let go."

Even if it meant mistakenly killing hundreds of innocent clansmen, as long as he could root out that internal traitor.

It was worth it!

Right at that moment.

A faint sound of the door opening echoed.

"Who's coming in?"

Chizuru Ichiyo frowned. He detested nothing more than people entering the shrine arbitrarily without announcement.

Thinking this, Chizuru Ichiyo opened his eyes and looked toward the entrance.

The interior space of the shrine was enormous, spanning over a hundred meters in radius, exceeding the range of Chizuru Ichiyo's Mental Force coverage.

"Who are you?"

With one glance, Chizuru Ichiyo saw a man walking in.

The instant he saw this man.

Chizuru Ichiyo felt an ocean-like wave of Mental Force descending upon him, enveloping him completely.

"This?"

Chizuru Ichiyo's eyes widened in shock, his consciousness rapidly fading into unconsciousness.
