Chapter 410: Ghost Master Is Easier to Deal With Than Ghosts

After some hesitation, Kujo Yoshii accepted Yuuki’s suggestion and immediately started contacting the Soga family.

About an hour later, Chu Jiang and his group finally arrived at the Kujo family’s headquarters located in Kanagawa Prefecture.

During that time, Soga Hayayuki received a phone call but she only said one sentence, "Everything will proceed as planned."

……

The Kujo family’s shrine is built on a small hill in the city. Chu Jiang and Soga Hayayuki entered through a vermilion torii gate and climbed the steps.

Hayayuki introduced Chu Jiang, saying, "The Kujo family is also a very ancient family of Yin-Yang masters. Based on what you said, they have prepared a trap specifically for you."

Chu Jiang calmly asked, "What kind of trap do you think it could be?"

Soga Hayayuki pondered and replied, "If it were me, I would at least target your Chu’s Jiang and Black Sun. Otherwise, the chances of success would be almost zero."

Chu Jiang nodded, "But what about my Zero Level Seals? How will they deal with those?"

"They also have Zero Level Seals. From what I know, the Kujo family has a wooden fish called Anutpattika-dharma-ksanti. It is said to have been brought to our country years ago by a monk when Mahayana Buddhism was introduced from the Eastern Land."

"Oh?" Chu Jiang became curious, "What exactly does it do?"

"After activating this Level-zero Seal, it can create a special protective barrier called the "Anutpattika Enchantment". I’m not sure of all the specific effects of the barrier, but I know it can repel all types of Ghost Domains."

Chu Jiang nodded, thinking that Black Sun’s Ghost Domain might not work against the Kujo family anymore.

"There should be at least one more item, but they have hidden it very well. All we know is that it is a very specialized item, to the point that the Kujo family has hardly ever used it in their history."

"Well, let’s talk about Kujo Kazuki."

Hayayuki agreed, "Inside Kujo Kazuki, there are at least three ghosts: The Blood Eating Ghost, the Ghost Raven, and the Crazy Bone. It is said that there is a fourth one, but no one knows what it is."

"The strongest one should be the Blood Eating Ghost. It has the instinct to ‘devour’ and enjoys eating people. It can also become stronger by devouring other ghosts."

"There are rumors that Ikki has fed the Blood Eating Ghost with many ghosts, and now it is probably close to becoming an S-class ghost."

Hearing about this ghost, Chu Jiang was reminded of Fang Tianci, who he had encountered before while sealing the Stretching Ghost.

It is also unknown whether Fang Tianci is still alive or not. The "Ghost Mouth" he had on his body is very similar to the ghost possessed by Kujo Kazuki. They should be powerful ghosts from the same realm.

In Soga Hayayuki’s intelligence description, Chu Jiang arrived at the front entrance of the shrine.

The main gate here was tightly closed, and it was so quiet around that not even the sound of insects or birds could be heard, let alone the sound of falling leaves.

Chu Jiang casually pushed open the main gate, and then he saw Kujo Yoshii and Kujo Kazuki standing under the eaves of the shrine’s main courtyard, waiting.

On both sides of the main courtyard, there were twenty-four Ghost Masters standing in formation. They all had different appearances, but they all had white cloth with the Rising Sun symbol tied on their right arms, indicating their determination to fight to the death.

Upon seeing this scene, Chu Jiang just smiled emotionlessly and said, "Is this all? Mr. Kujo, what about the treasure you promised to give me?"

Kujo Yoshii’s chubby face trembled a bit, still with a smile, "Captain Chu, please come inside and let’s talk. The Sky Observing Ghost Mirror is sealed behind the shrine, and I will personally take you there to retrieve it."

As he spoke, he looked at Soga Hayayuki and said, "Miss Soga, it’s best if you don’t get involved. This involves the secrets of our Kujo family."

Hayayuki didn’t even bother to look at him, her gaze coldly focused ahead. She didn’t want to waste her time with someone who was about to die.

When Kujo Yoshii’s smile froze, Chu Jiang calmly took out a bronze dressing mirror from his left hand and said, "Is this what you’re talking about? Sorry, I already have it in my possession. Let’s just forget about it, shall we?"

Now, Yi Jing’s face didn’t freeze, but instead showed shock.

What a joke is this? They randomly picked a long-lost treasure from the "Nine Provinces" section of their family’s ancient books as an excuse, and it just so happened that Chu Jiang had it?!

Kujo Kazuki was also surprised, but at the same time, his desire to win Chu Jiang’s heart became even stronger.

Originally, when Chu Jiang took out the Ghost Mirror, he just wanted to slap the guy who talked nonsense; but what made him frown was that the Ghost Mirror voluntarily showed him a picture again.

This time, it showed the situation over at the Holy Word Religion, to be more precise, Belfast’s figure appeared again in the mirror.

At this moment, she was in a quiet Japanese-style room, devoutly praying in front of a cross.

Chu Jiang couldn’t hear her words, but he could see that as she spoke, she carefully handed a slightly yellowed diary page to the cross.

As soon as the diary touched the cross, it disappeared without a trace, and at the same time, Belfast murmured even more devoutly…

The scene in this display was very short, and disappeared in just a few seconds.

After checking that the Ghost Mirror is quiet, Chu Jiang put it away.

Even though the last time it showed a picture that seemed real, this time it’s still difficult to tell the truth from the fake.

Even if it is real, Chu Jiang is not surprised at all.

Sister Bel will offer the torn pages of her diary to Sleep Talking, isn’t that normal? He is even surprised that she is giving them now. As a devoted follower, shouldn’t the sacrifice have been completed on the same day it was obtained, at the very least?

Although he can’t understand the purpose of the Ghost Mirror, now is not the time to ponder on it. Chu Jiang plans to come back and examine the broken mirror after he returns.

"Captain Chu, this, this, maybe one of us has a fake? How about we compare at the back of the shrine?" Kujo Yoshii continues to try to trick him with a lousy excuse.

Chu Jiang just shakes his head at this. He directly confronts him, saying, "You just want to attack me, right? We’ve come this far, why not just confront me directly? Are you afraid I’ll turn around and run?"

"Actually, it’s not necessary. There’s a question I wonder if you’ve thought about."

"Since you don’t have confidence in being able to solve the Ghost Abyss, why do you think you have the ability to defeat me?"

Kujo Yoshii’s face changed, and he stopped pretending to be a good person. He responded with a mocking tone, "Ha, is this even a problem? It’s common knowledge that Ghost Masters are easier to deal with than ghosts."

"Otherwise, why would various countries have organizations specifically hunting down Ghost Masters? Captain Chu, I remember from your resume that you personally destroyed such a group, right?"

Chu Jiang nodded in agreement, "Alright, I agree. Ghost Masters are much easier to deal with than ghosts."

As he spoke, he looked at everyone present, and his meaning was clear without words.
