Although the name Dao Shen Sect was very unfamiliar to Qin Fang, it wasn't the first time he had heard of it, and it was even quite renowned.

Although the Taoist sect originated in Dragon Country, after Xu Fu of the pre-Qin era crossed east, a shameless little country claimed the name for itself…

Moreover, they named their country's most powerful sect after it, which many Dragon Country people despise, yet are helpless against.

This shameless little country is, of course, those little devils…

The year of Dao Shen Sect's birth is untraceable, but it is indeed quite ancient. Even though the little devils repeatedly claim that Dao Shen Sect has existed for thousands of years, in reality, it hasn't lasted more than a thousand years, and its real development started after the Tang Dynasty of Dragon Country…

Dao Shen Sect is both a sect and a belief…

Essentially, the entire Japan is under the rule of Dao Shen Sect, which has been passed down from ancient times to the present. Although many worldly affairs have changed, this particular aspect has not changed significantly.

In ancient times, Dao Shen Sect was the representation of supreme royal authority. Essentially, the Emperor's enthronement required the canonization of the Dao Shen Sect; otherwise, it wouldn't be legitimate…

Now, royal authority is no longer significant, but the influence of Dao Shen Sect remains substantial, as it is the true ruler of underground forces in all of Japan.

From Japan's largest syndicate, the Yamaguchi Group, to the enigmatic Black Dragon Society, and even the Yasukuni Shrine, which enshrines numerous World War II criminals, all are under the control of Dao Shen Sect.

In addition, all the ninjutsu sects and swordsmanship sects in Japan are under the control of Dao Shen Sect…

It is precisely because of the enormity of Dao Shen Sect that, although it is not a part of the underground world, its power is no weaker than some allied forces in the underground world.

Kawasaki Ichiro, accompanied by a Dao Shen Sect expert and rumored to possess a very mysterious identity, is now most likely associated with Dao Shen Sect.

"Dao Shen Sect? I hope you don't provoke me for the time being…"

Looking at the Dao Shen Sect expert who harbored strong hostility towards him, Qin Fang displayed a slight, calm smile as he quietly planned in his heart.

Qin Fang wasn't afraid of Dao Shen Sect; he simply didn't want to face it so soon.

This is a mysterious and powerful force. Without considering its immense scale, just the number of experts seems no less than the ancient big sects of Dragon Country, perhaps even comparable to major sects like Shaolin and Kunlun.

This is not to raise others' morale and extinguish one's own prestige; the disciples of Dao Shen Sect itself may not be numerous, but the forces it controls are vast. These forces include many schools of Japanese ninjutsu and many schools of swordsmanship, which in themselves are very numerous.

Qin Fang is not afraid because his trip to Japan is destined to collide with this powerful force; he may even turn the entire Japan into a chaotic mess.

And the consequence of this is that he and Dao Shen Sect are destined to be on opposite sides…

Since they are destined to be on opposing sides, Qin Fang naturally has no need to be courteous to members of Dao Shen Sect. The reason for not acting now is simply that the time has not yet come.

He Feifan's expression wasn't much different from Kawasaki Ichiro's. Even though he hadn't participated in this gambling match, his losses might not be any less than He Feifan's.

Kawasaki Ichiro was his master, and he knew Kawasaki Ichiro's strength very well. But it was precisely because of this that he believed Kawasaki Ichiro would undoubtedly win this battle, so he placed a heavy bet as well.

Unfortunately, in this gambling match, the biggest winner was the people on Qin Fang's side, followed by the outside bookmakers. Basically, except for Qin Fang's group who won, the vast majority lost, ultimately benefiting the bookmakers!

Although the outside bookmaker was still part of the He Family, it was the family's, not He Feifan's personal part… this wasn't a part he could control.

"Master Ma Shengye…"

Thinking of this, He Feifan harbored a deep hatred for Qin Fang. Seeing his master Kawasaki Ichiro's despondent look, a flash of extraordinary color crossed He Feifan's eyes, and he immediately turned to talk with the Dao Shen Sect expert Ma Shengye.

Others might not be very clear about the relationship between Kawasaki Ichiro and Dao Shen Sect, but He Feifan, having followed Kawasaki Ichiro for a long time, was relatively trusted by him, who vaguely informed He Feifan of this relationship.

For instance, the Dao Shen Sect expert Ma Shengye who had been by Kawasaki Ichiro's side for many years was quite familiar to He Feifan; they even played with women together many times…

Ma Shengye's strength is very strong, which He Feifan knows very well. He is always accompanied by several competent bodyguards, but in Ma Shengye's eyes, these bodyguards are no different from children; once, one bodyguard foolishly provoked Ma Shengye, resulting in a light palm strike from Ma Shengye, and the bodyguard could never get up again…

"Mr. He, this matter doesn't concern you; you don't need to bother with it…"

Whatever He Feifan and Ma Shengye discussed, Ma Shengye shook his head, seemingly rejecting He Feifan's proposal. However, his gaze towards Qin Fang became even sharper.

By this time, Qin Fang had finished talking with Yu Zheng, just waiting to receive the money and leave.

Sensing Ma Shengye's suddenly sharply intense gaze, Qin Fang's mouth displayed a slight, calm smile, yet his heart couldn't help but overflow with killing intent.

"Seems like some people really have no sense..."

He Feifan's little tricks, perhaps he thought they were very discreet, but they still couldn't escape Qin Fang's eyes. The big reaction from Ma Shengye's side was most likely because this kid was sowing discord!

"Let's go..."

Ma Shengye's side is likely to take action, but Qin Fang wasn't too concerned and promptly called Kong Er and others to return to the hotel to rest.

The compensation from the perimeter was quickly paid out. Kong Er had arranged for someone specifically responsible for this matter, so Qin Fang and his team did not need to worry much about it.

"Feifei, tonight you stay with Fan Ning and Jingjing... Brother Song, you'll have to bear with it tonight!"

On the way back to the hotel, Qin Fang immediately made these arrangements.

If Qin Fang's estimation was correct, the Dao Shen Sect would surely take action tonight. Tang Feifei's strength was comparable to a Middle Level Ninja, but facing the experts of the Dao Shen Sect was still extremely dangerous.

So Qin Fang arranged for her to stay with Fan Ning and Xing Jingjing, and had Song Qingshan keep an eye on them; this way it would be double insurance.

"Qin Fang, is something wrong?"

Seeing Qin Fang make such arrangements, Tang Feifei and the others couldn't help but realize something was up, and immediately asked with concern.

"It's nothing, maybe I'm just being overly cautious... After all, with such a large sum of money, I'm worried some people might have certain ideas!"

Qin Fang gave a simple explanation. The issue with the Dao Shen Sect wasn't mentioned, he merely treated it as being targeted by regular thieves.

"Then be careful..."

Upon hearing Qin Fang's explanation, Tang Feifei was relieved. She was aware of Qin Fang's strength; if it were just common thieves, Qin Fang could deal with them easily, and she herself could also handle them.

However, seeing Qin Fang's arrangements, she thought perhaps it also meant he wanted her to protect Fan Ning and Xing Jingjing, which seemed to make sense...

"Young Master Qin, what kind of people?"

Tang Feifei and the other girls were relatively easy to deceive, but Song Qingshan was clearly not as easy to fool.

Tang Feifei had some strength, which Song Qingshan could see, but Qin Fang still arranged for him to secretly protect her, which meant the opponents were likely to be very formidable.

"Just ants from the Dao Shen Sect..."

Qin Fang calmly stated.

This force, considered a giant in Japan and renowned even in the Underground World, in Qin Fang's eyes, was just a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, a few comparatively strong ants.

"Dao Shen Sect..."

Song Qingshan froze for a moment. Though he wasn't very familiar with this name, he wasn't entirely unfamiliar either, as the Dao Shen Sect indeed had a vendetta with his Sect.

"Why don't you come to protect them, and leave those Dao Shen Sect members to me..."

It seemed Song Qingshan was even more impulsive to act than Qin Fang, and he offered to take on the challenge.

"They're targeting me. If I'm not there, they probably won't act easily. You help me protect Feifei and the others, and watch the exits. If anyone tries to escape, intercept them then..."

Qin Fang thought for a moment and then proceeded to make these arrangements.

The Dao Shen Sect wasn't as weak as imagined, and Kawasaki Ichiro's status within the Dao Shen Sect might not be simple, otherwise, they wouldn't have assigned Ma Shengye, a Grandmaster-level Expert, to protect him closely.

Now, with Ma Shengye intending to act against him, the forces in play were likely to be considerable, and if they make a move, it would surely be overwhelmingly powerful. Qin Fang had no issue protecting himself, but to single-handedly clear out all the Dao Shen Sect members coming against him might be somewhat lacking. There could very well be someone who escapes during the chaos, so he truly needed Song Qingshan's assistance...

"Alright, no problem..."

Song Qingshan nodded. These arrangements were quite favorable, at least he'd have the opportunity to make a move, which was better than ending up with nothing.

While Ma Shengye was arranging the night's plans, he hadn't foreseen that their opponent was also strategizing against them, and even before they officially confronted each other, Qin Fang and Song Qingshan had already predetermined their outcome...

And He Feifan originally intended to participate in the action, at the very least he wanted to see Qin Fang being dismantled into seven or eight pieces by the Dao Shen Sect members to relieve his pent-up resentment.

However, just as he stepped out of the casino, he was promptly taken away by a car sent by Gambling King He, with the reason being that Gambling King He wanted to meet him...(To be continued.
