Kawashima Ichio hadn’t lied before, but Xu Fei hadn’t fully grasped his words at the time.
This man was willing to sacrifice his life to obtain the legacy, indeed to return and change the fate of his family.
But in truth, it was to strengthen his own faction, to make it the orthodox one, forcing the Thousand-Character Faction to bow before his people!
As a member of the Thousand-Character Faction, Kawashima Chikako, with the faction’s overall strength, thought on a much longer timescale.
Back then, the legacy left by the Evil God was split into three parts. The other two factions that received the legacy grew stronger over time, while the Kawashima family was abandoned by the tides of history, gradually falling behind.
The elders of the Thousand-Character Faction, with foresight, decided to send elites to China to find the underground temple and obtain its legacy.
They believed that with the power of the legacy, they could elevate their strength before the next upheaval, thus preserving the entire Kawashima family.
So, the Thousand-Character Faction first sent their elite, Kawashima Chikako.
As a woman, she was not only exceptionally powerful but also striking in appearance and figure.
The elders believed that whether Kawashima Chikako used her beauty to achieve her goals or disguised herself as a man to blend in, she would be highly effective.
In the end, Kawashima Chikako was dispatched. She hadn’t anticipated that this mission, once begun, would take over a decade.
In those ten-plus years, though Kawashima Chikako successfully manoeuvred her way to becoming the Red Buddha Society President, she made no progress on her family’s mission.
With her family’s support and formidable strength, Kawashima Chikako didn’t find the Gong family’s secret passage. Instead, she boldly entered through the treacherous terrain of Yandang Mountain.
But once inside, she realised her strength was still too weak to gain the temple’s full recognition.
When she left, she took only a small portion of the legacy: some combined formations and the mysterious formation that could summon the Yamata no Orochi.
The elders of the Thousand-Character Faction, after inspecting the site, concluded that despite Kawashima Chikako’s efforts, her results were far from sufficient.
Thus, she was ordered to remain in place, continue training, and strive to obtain the full legacy.
Years later, the long-dormant One-Character Faction grew restless and decided to send Kawashima Ichio to seek the mysterious temple and its legacy.
In the end, though Kawashima Ichio succeeded, his talent was lacking. Even with Xu Fei arriving later, Xu Fei’s exceptional talent earned him the temple’s final recognition.
Xu Fei, after hearing all this, couldn’t help but shake his head.
“I didn’t expect your family’s elders, knowing the Kawashima family’s current strength could face external threats, would still focus on internal strife rather than unity. No wonder you’re heading toward a crisis!”
Xu Fei’s words, though cold, were undeniably true.
Though Kawashima Chikako knew she was no match for Xu Fei, she would never tolerate anyone insulting the Kawashima family to her face!
Thus, Kawashima Chikako sneered repeatedly, as if making a resolute decision.
“Today, I may not be your match, but I’ll use my blood as a mark, ensuring the Kawashima family hunts you down for generations, endlessly!”
At that moment, Kawashima Chikako’s body rose into the air, her true qi surging wildly in reverse within her.
