"You are Kurofuji Clan Head Kurofuji Ryo, aren't you!" the Sun God's gaze fell on Kurofuji Ryo, "It was also your Kuroteng Family who sent people to attack members of the Alliance of Gods, wasn't it? Are you planning to hand over the Family Head's Token, or will you stubbornly resist?"
Under the gaze of the Sun God, cold sweat trickled down Kurofuji Ryo's forehead. Although the Family Head's Token was precious, the thousand-year legacy of the Kuroteng Family was of even greater importance!
Kurofuji Ryo gritted his teeth and lowered his head, "Lord Sun God, since you require my Family Head's Token, naturally I will offer it with both hands!"
As he spoke, Kurofuji Ryo extended his hand and a mysterious aura gathered in his palm. Soon, a fragment that was ancient yet bore the marks of vicissitudes appeared in Kurofuji Ryo's hand.
As soon as the Family Head's Token appeared, the Sun God's hand reached into the void, and the Kuroteng Family's Family Head's Token landed in the Sun God's hand.
"Such a mysterious power, such a wondrous Formation!" Holding the Kuroteng Family's token, the Sun God's eyes radiated a brilliant light, "Abe Seimei truly was the strongest Onmyoji in Fusang's history, his mastery was so profound! It's a shame, such a person has passed away, and I never had the chance to meet him!"
Then the Sun God shifted his gaze to Matsushita Yahara, who gave a bitter smile. He too, dipped his right hand, and soon another fragment with the same mysterious aura appeared in his palm.
Without exception, that fragment too landed in the Sun God's hand.
Finally, the Sun God concentrated his gaze on Inoue Ki, "Inoue Family, now only you are left!"
Inoue Ki's face turned pale. If he could produce the Family Head's Token, he would definitely hand it over immediately! But he couldn't!
Ever since the former Family Head was assassinated, the Family Head's Token had disappeared.
"Hmm?" the Sun God's expression gradually grew colder, "It seems that the Inoue Family is planning to resist me to the end?"
With a thud, under the Sun God's oppression, Inoue Ki directly knelt down, his heart filled with regret. If he had known it would come to this, why had he competed to become the Acting Clan Leader?
If Inoue You had become the Acting Clan Leader, he would be the one to bear the Sun God's wrath now!
"Lord Sun God, it's not that we don't want to hand over the Family Head's Token, but that we truly can't!" Inoue Ki said with a pained expression, "Our former Family Head was assassinated, and the Family Head's Token also disappeared. We are still searching for the murderer who killed the Family Head!"
The Sun God's icy gaze gradually softened, as it appeared that Inoue Ki wasn't lying.
However, the Sun God's voice soon rang out again, "Now I'm only missing the Inoue Family's Family Head's Token. I need you to find the murderer and retrieve the Family Head's Token within three days, otherwise your Inoue Family will have no reason to exist!"
Inoue Ki shivered, then hurriedly said, "Lord Sun God, we will definitely find the murderer and retrieve the token!"
"That's good, I'll return in three days. I hope not to be disappointed then! Oh, and if you harbor any grievance, you can use these three days to seek help. I will come again in three days!" With those words, a flame flashed over the Sun God's body, and he disappeared.
With the departure of the Sun God, everyone also breathed a sigh of relief, the backs of the three clan leaders soaked with cold sweat.
Inoue Ki's complexion was grim: "Kurofuji Clan Head, I must now return to seek the murderer of my Family Head. Farewell!"
Saying this, Inoue Ki, with a somber expression, led everyone away.
Behind him, Kurofuji Ryo and Matsushita Yahara's faces showed traces of schadenfreude. Although they both had lost their Family Head's Tokens, compared to the Inoue Family, at least their families' safety was not at risk!
Humans are such creatures that when they see others less fortunate than themselves, they feel a genuine happiness. At this moment, both Kurofuji Ryo and Matsushita Yahara were experiencing this exact situation.
After Inoue Ki returned to the Inoue Family, he immediately dispatched nearly all the clan's strength, determined to find the assassin who had tried to kill Kawaio Inoue within three days!
However, both Inoue Ki and Inoue You knew the hope was extremely slim, as several months had passed, and the culprit had likely left Fusang and was already outside the law.
"It seems I should think about how to escape!" Inoue Ki thought to himself, with billions in his name, he could live a carefree life even if he left Fusang!
At the same moment, Ling Feng was sitting in the Great Elder's exclusive attic, in front of him was a small box made of Hei Shi.
Gently opening the box, an ancient fragment with a sense of vicissitude appeared before Ling Feng.
This fragment was none other than the Family Head's Token of the Inoue Clan! Originally belonging to Kawaio Inoue, the reason it was in front of Ling Feng was simple—the person who killed Kawaio Inoue was none other than the Great Elder!
Therefore, after capturing the soul of the Great Elder, Ling Feng learned the truth of the matter!
Apart from the Great Elder, no one knew the true circumstances, so Inoue Ki's chances of finding the real culprit were almost non-existent!
Looking at the fragment before him, Ling Feng fell into deep thought. A single fragment was useless alone, but combined with three fragments, they could unlock the seal of the Fusang Divine Artifact.
Indeed, with Ling Feng's current strength, slaughtering the Kuroteng Family was no longer a challenge, and he could even manage a "visit" to the Divine Ninja of Fusang.
But after learning about the Fusang Divine Artifact, Ling Feng was no longer in such a hurry, as he had deeper thoughts.
"The Fusang Divine Artifact, it's the legendary Tian Cong Yun Sword, isn't it!" Ling Feng stroked his chin, "If I could get the Fusang Divine Artifact, things might get even more interesting! But there's still the problem with the Sun God, maybe let the Sun God take the lead. As the saying goes, when the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind, and that's settled then..."
The three days passed in the blink of an eye, and surely enough, the Inoue Family still hadn't found the real assassin, let alone recover the Family Head's Token!
"Great Elder, it's bad!" Just then, one of the elders from the Inoue Family rushed in: "The Acting Clan Leader… no, Inoue Ki has disappeared!"
"Inoue Ki has disappeared?" Ling Feng asked, frowning, "What's going on here?"
Turns out, seeing no hope of finding the assassin, Inoue Ki secretly transferred all his assets overseas, then used the tactic of escaping by shedding his shell and disappeared, clearly intending to leave Fusang.
"Damn it, it's infuriating!" the elder yelled furiously, "He was the Acting Clan Leader, but to do such a thing, it's simply a disgrace to the Inoue Family!"
This elder was secretly supportive of Inoue Ki, so he felt betrayed by Inoue Ki's escape, fueling his anger even more.
Ling Feng said indifferently, "If they are not of our kind, their hearts must be different! Without the blood of our Family Head flowing in their veins, how could they possibly give their all to the Inoue Family?"
The elder said ashamedly, "I'm sorry, Great Elder, after this affair, we will surely rally behind Inoue Sakura as the Clan Head of our Inoue Family! But what should we do now?"
"Don't worry, everything is under my control!" Ling Feng said with a light smile.
