Chapter 116 is the end, but not the conclusion.
With Li Muyang, an official in the government, Zhang Xuanlin quickly helped Longguo obtain first-hand intelligence from Japan. It wasn't that Japan didn't want to stop them, but that they had no way to.
Putting aside Li Muyang's elusive nature, he clearly went back to his dormitory to sleep after the big battle that day, but he disappeared early the next morning. Even now, Neon hasn't been able to find him... In reality, he simply opened a portal and came to Poirot Cafe, where he sleeps in the spirit beast gourd.
The coffee shop just has a few gourds; who would have thought that Li Muyang himself actually lives inside one of them?
Only a few people who knew Li Muyang could contact him, but these people all knew that Li Muyang was in a special situation, so they pretended not to hear. It was only when Zhang Xuanlin came here that Gojo Satoru called Li Muyang.
Japan is also quite helpless about this, feeling a mix of wanting to find someone and not wanting to.
It's important to understand that Li Muyang wasn't just an individual; he represented the Dragon Kingdom's Taoist Association in this exchange and learning activity within the world of sorcery—in other words, he came to challenge them! As it turns out, he not only helped Japan resolve a thousand-year-old fox spirit's curse, thwarting their plans, but also helped them defeat the Yamata no Orochi!
The first two can be ignored, but the third one is the real problem! Even the Japanese are traumatized by it! It's not something an ordinary person can handle! Even if the entire world of sorcery were mobilized, they might not be able to defeat it! Unless they use mushroom bombs, they might be able to temporarily drive Orochi back.
It's possible that the Yamata no Orochi could survive and even absorb the radiation and mutate! Its life form is clearly superior.
Other common firearms are only moderately effective. Even Gojo Satoru couldn't handle the Yamata no Orochi with its limited number of jutsu users. This thing's self-healing isn't a reversal technique; it relies on its powerful passive self-healing ability! As long as it's not dead, even if it's exhausted and its energy is depleted, it can continue to heal! Even in a battle of attrition, it's enough to wear Gojo Satoru down!
Laymen might not understand these things, but the Japanese official understanding is clear about the different meanings of Yamata no Orochi. This guy is indeed a fierce god, but he is an important part of Japanese mythology! One of the three strongest gods, a key enemy recorded in the annals!
Whether Yamata no Orochi was at his peak, or whether he was comparable to Susanoo during his battle with Susanoo, are not important!
Such an enemy! Li Muyang killed him! It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call it a miracle! That's the most important thing!
It's fair to say that Li Muyang not only slapped the Japanese in the face, but they also have to thank him!
In just the last few days, many people from shrines and temples have tried to visit Li Muyang, but they have all been stopped by the authorities and the sorcery community!
Firstly, Li Muyang himself was too lazy to meet with them, and secondly, the Japanese side did not want to increase Li Muyang's influence any further!
The ruling class in Japan is on the verge of collapse. They can accept admitting their mistakes and yielding to China, but they don't want another five-star general to emerge on their homeland! They certainly don't want another de facto emperor!
The Tianhuang clan has finally been wiped out! Do you think the current management will easily give up their power and position?
You should know that the Japanese royal family claims to be descendants of Amaterasu! Susanoo is Amaterasu's younger brother! And the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi is Susanoo's divine weapon!
Now that Li Muyang has killed the Yamata no Orochi, with such a huge commotion, many people in Japan saw the Kusanagi sword at the serpent's tail! In the end, the entire Yamata no Orochi disappeared!
Everyone understands one thing: whether Yamata no Orochi is dead or alive, he and the Kusanagi Sword are definitely in Li Muyang's hands! Old Li can easily claim to be the heir to the Japanese imperial family! They're all dead anyway! With this thing in hand, Old Li is much more powerful than the imperial family!
The imperial family is just a self-proclaimed title; whether they have any connection to Amaterasu is another matter entirely! Li Muyang is actually wielding the True Heavenly Kusanagi Sword! Not just some ordinary decoration from the shrine!
Between the Kusanagi sword that has been enshrined at the shrine for many years without any movement, and the one stuck in the butt of the Yamata no Orochi, any normal person would know which one to believe is real.
What if... Susanoo knows that Li Muyang killed Yamata no Orochi and has no objection?
If the Yamata no Orochi is real, then it's no wonder Susanoo-no-Mikoto is real too, right? That's why the shrines that worship the Three Gods are so excited! We've always been loyal and believed in His Holiness's existence! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to elevate the status of us priests!
Although the Japanese royal family is now just a mascot, even a mascot still has a great social influence!
It's complicated! It's chaotic!
Suddenly, the neon lights were a scene of intense activity, both overt and covert! Various undercurrents were surging, and everyone was trying to stir up trouble!
The only pure land might be Mika City.
Li Muyang was speechless! While everyone outside was fighting to the death, everything here was normal! They were even going about their daily lives!
There's been no movement from the Elementary School Grim Reaper's side; they have no idea what happened! Li Muyang had just overheard Ran Mouri talking to Conan about the natural gas pipeline explosion in Shibuya.
Natural gas... okay!
It was only at this time that Li Muyang learned that, apart from the Poirot Cafe and the Mori Detective Agency building, the other buildings in the vicinity were all assets under the names of Nanako and Mimiko.
In a sense, these properties were also transferred to the two women's names before Xia Youjie died, ensuring that even if he died, the two women could live their landlady lives peacefully. This place is located in the center of Mihua City, and the probability of depreciation is extremely low!
6!
This is exactly how normal people think! Having money doesn't guarantee happiness, but not having money definitely means unhappiness!
The building housing the office was left to Kogoro Mouri by his parents. Along with Poirot Cafe, the two women were just bored. They had tenants in their own shops and houses, and seeing that the first floor of the Mouri family's house was vacant and they were looking for tenants, they rented out the cafe to find something to do.
It can only be described as the happiness of the rich!
"When are you planning to go back?" Xia Youjie asked Li Muyang after exchanging a few polite words with the Mao family. Nanako and Mimiko, who were standing to the side, were watching Li Muyang intently. They both knew that once Li Muyang went home, Xia Youjie would have to return to the underworld.
Li Muyang didn't answer the question directly, but instead asked meaningfully, "What kind of place is the underworld you went to? What are you hiding from me? I didn't tell you about the Golden Bug. Even if you know the plot, you shouldn't have found the Golden Bug's whereabouts so quickly, unless... someone is secretly instructing you?"
Xia Youjie scratched his head with a wry smile: "Hiss... So there's still a problem here? As for instigating something... Old Li, that's really hurtful. There really wasn't anything like that~ That person just told me how to find the Golden Beetle. Whether or not to go find it is up to me! I contacted you, Old Li, the moment I found the Golden Beetle!"
"As for the situation in the underworld... I'm sorry, I'm bound by some restrictions and cannot tell you about that."
"It's nothing." As expected, Li Muyang waved his hand, lay on the sofa and joked, "No matter how you look at it, I still benefited from this incident. Although I was startled by the Yamata no Orochi, I still managed to complete the mission smoothly and even got some benefits. What do I have to complain about? Since you can't tell me, that's fine. I was just curious."
"This world is too complicated. I have a feeling that although this place may seem inferior to my world, there are actually more powerful beings and monsters lurking in the shadows than I imagined! Sometimes, knowing less is actually a good thing!"
This is why Li Muyang tries his best to develop relationships. If he were just going to do his job and leave, there would be no need for all this trouble. But if he were to come back here in the future, it would be good to be prepared beforehand! After all, in this world that seems more mundane than dangerous, who knows how many monsters are lurking in the shadows!
As they say, the truly dangerous ones are often those seemingly ordinary slice-of-life anime! This is the real gathering place for geniuses! It's because of a group of hidden masters that a facade of peace and stability is maintained!
Anyone who dares to cause trouble has offended a bunch of big shots!
Suddenly I understand why this mission was so rewarding!
In contrast, in my own backyard, the dangers in this modern-day cultivation world are at least out in the open! It's not like some random passerby is some hidden master! Who knows which demon god's descendant they are! And they're even accompanied by two dragon kings!
Yes, I'm talking about Kobayashi Phil!
Speaking of Li Yunlong from Lam Ching-ying's family... oops! In Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid, is Kobayashi's full name really that? It wasn't mentioned in the original story, it sounds so tongue-twisting! Was it really just something someone terrible at naming made up? (Author: Keep insulting me!) What kind of East-meets-West mix is this? Is that why she usually doesn't like mentioning her full name?
But this name is more in line with her identity as a descendant of a demon god.
"You haven't answered my question yet," Xia Youjie said, shifting the topic back to the original question.
Li Muyang stretched and leaned back in the coffee shop chair, replying lazily, "Right away! Tomorrow morning at the latest!"
Unexpectedly, Li Muyang left in such a hurry. Xia Youjie was stunned for a moment and didn't say anything. Cai Cai Zi and Mei Mei Zi were a little surprised, as there was still a lot of things to do here!
As if understanding the two women's thoughts, Li Muyang sighed helplessly: "Of course I know things are in chaos here, but there's no point in me staying! On the contrary, if I make another public appearance, I'll easily be used as a pawn. The best-case scenario right now is that I'm never found! The vocational college is already struggling to hold on; the pressure from all sides is too great!"
Li Muyang is now like Tang Sanzang's flesh. There are legends in the martial arts world that eating him will grant immortality. In reality, he is not that magical, but because of his status and value, everyone is fighting for him!
But for Li Muyang, taking either side would be disadvantageous to him.
It's better to leave quietly and wait for things to calm down!
"Aren't you going to say goodbye?" Xia Youjie smiled and reminded him.
Li Muyang rolled his eyes: "It's not like I'm never coming back! Don't act like it's a life-or-death situation, okay? It's really strange! Besides, didn't you and Gojo Satoru-sensei both join my chat group? Just contact me if you need anything. It's not hard for me to come over when I have time."
"Alright! That's all! Goodbye!"
