At this moment, Watanabe Kazushi was surrounded by the people of Ittō-ryū. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. With so many people rushing him, it was impossible for Watanabe Kazushi to kill them all.

But if even one person failed to stop Watanabe Kazushi, he would be doomed.

However, no one responded to the gesture of the man, clearly all fearing Watanabe Kazushi's strength and not daring to act.

The Great Elder said, "Mr. Watanabe, we're actually very curious. This Mr. Ling is the Divine Doctor from Huaxia, here to treat you. How did things get to this point?"

Watanabe Kazushi's face darkened, "Our Iga-ryu matters are none of your concern. Hand the person over now, I don't have time to waste with you."

The Great Elder was about to speak when Hoshino Meigetsu spoke up instead.

"Mr. Watanabe Kazushi, I've heard that the Watanabe Family has a reputation for betrayal, killing the doctor who treated you. If this gets out, it could be very damaging."

Everyone was taken aback, none expected Hoshino Meigetsu to speak, and so confrontationally at that.

Watanabe Kazushi was surprised that someone would confront him so directly, and immediately turned to look at Hoshino Meigetsu.

"Young lady, what are you talking about? What betrayal? Watch your mouth before it gets you into trouble."

Hoshino Meigetsu was unafraid. "I think the one courting trouble isn't me, but someone else. We Ittō-ryū would never do such a treacherous thing."

Hoshino Meigetsu's words made the faces of the Ittō-ryū crowd turn red. Her intention was simple: to remind everyone once more not to hand Ling Zhenfei over.

"Young lady, doesn't your family teach you some manners? Talking has consequences. Do you need me to teach you a lesson?"

As he spoke, Watanabe Kazushi released a pressure of Northern Spiritual Energy that scared the people in the front into taking several steps back. The people of the Dawen Realm truly were terrifying.

Ling Zhenfei was contemplating what to do. Now that Watanabe Kazushi had arrogantly come here alone, it was undeniably a great opportunity. Watanabe Kazushi must have assumed Ling was injured.

He thought if Watanabe Kazushi let his guard down, he could suddenly launch a surprise attack and seriously injure Watanabe Kazushi. With the people of Ittō-ryū's assistance, they'd surely be able to kill him.

The only question was whether the cowards from Ittō-ryū dared to act. If they didn't, he definitely couldn't beat Watanabe Kazushi; the difference in strength was too great.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and reconsidered. He didn't have the confidence to kill Watanabe Kazushi, so it was better to focus on escaping.

If Ling Zhenfei managed to escape from Watanabe Kazushi's clutches, it would have nothing to do with Ittō-ryū. So, he felt it was better not to resist.

At this moment, the Great Elder said to Hoshino Meigetsu, "Mingyue, that's enough. We've already made our decision, so let's not change it."

After speaking, the Great Elder personally escorted Ling Zhenfei to Watanabe Kazushi.

"Alright, Mr. Watanabe, here is the person. I hope you keep your promise."

Watanabe Kazushi laughed aloud as he grabbed Ling Zhenfei, "Divine Doctor Ling, you were quite hard to find. Do you know I've turned Bin Qi Wu upside down these past few days looking for you?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "Mr. Watanabe, you're too kind. Was it really necessary to go to such lengths to find me? I'm someone who naturally dislikes being constrained."

Watanabe Kazushi replied with a sarcastic smile, "As you know, Mr. Ling, I've been unable to move for years. So, now I'm thrilled and eager to stretch my muscles a bit."

Ling Zhenfei said, "I've seen Mr. Watanabe's skills, so I'd rather not."

Watanabe Kazushi laughed, "That's right. So, after taking you back, just confess everything obediently. You must have been severely injured from our last fight.

Actually, I'm quite impressed you survived such serious injuries. Is it due to your great luck or your superb Medical Arts?"

Ling Zhenfei said, "It's thanks to my luck and Medical Arts. Otherwise, I would have already been a dead man."

"But you've really shocked me. After taking three of my strikes, you managed to escape from the Watanabe Manor and even killed so many of our people. You have too many secrets. We'll have a good talk when we get back."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Alright, let's have a good chat."

Watanabe Kazushi laughed heartily, then suddenly lifted Ling Zhenfei and soared into the sky.

Watanabe Kazushi used Northern Spiritual Energy to lift the entire person. With each leap, he traveled a dozen meters, soon leaving the Ittō-ryū base far behind.

Ling Zhenfei felt a bit excited in midair. Now would be the perfect time to kill Watanabe Kazushi. But is it appropriate to act now?

However, this area still belonged to Ittō-ryū. If he acted now, it might implicate Ittō-ryū, so Ling Zhenfei decided to wait until they left Ittō-ryū's territory to act.

But just outside Ittō-ryū's territory, Watanabe Kazushi stopped, as someone was waiting at the gate.

Then Ling Zhenfei was stuffed into a car. Once inside, Watanabe Kazushi got in too, and they headed towards the Watanabe house.

Ling Zhenfei was constantly deliberating on when to make his move but decided now was not the right time.

No matter when he acted, Ling Zhenfei had one principle: never reveal his strength before striking.

Watanabe Kazushi considered Ling Zhenfei severely injured, so he was completely unguarded.

The more Watanabe Kazushi thought this, the more at ease he felt, constantly searching for the best opportunity to attack.

Ling Zhenfei was pondering if his Sky Piercing Finger could kill Watanabe Kazushi in one strike, since the small space in the car left no room to dodge.

Many assassinations happened in cars because of the limited space, making it difficult for even the most skilled individuals to maneuver.

In this confined environment, anyone who posed no threat could kill.

Just as Ling Zhenfei was about to act, he heard Watanabe Kazushi say to someone, "Who did we catch last night?"

"Reporting, sir, it was a woman. Upon checking, she seems to be the youngest daughter of the Hoshino Family, Hoshino Junka."

"Hoshino Family? What are they doing at Watanabe Manor in the middle of the night?" Watanabe Kazushi asked, puzzled.

"Sir, this wasn't the first time. The other night, another woman broke into our manor and was discovered but was eventually rescued by a masked person."

"A masked person? Your work is sloppy. They entered Watanabe Manor and were discovered, yet you couldn't catch them. Useless."
