"I just knew you, you guy..."

Upon hearing Qin Fang's words, Ji Xiang's expression slightly improved, soon filled with a cheerful smile, and he gently patted Qin Fang's shoulder and said with a smile, "Alright, I understand!"

This guy, Domoto Yoshio, still has some value for the time being. Qin Fang thought he might still be useful, so he wasn't in a hurry to get rid of him yet.

However, his life may be spared, but living sin cannot be easily forgiven.

Given what he did today, Qin Fang not killing him outright was considered quite lucky. Asking for a relatively comfortable punishment would be asking too much.

"I might spare your life for now... But if you lie to me, don't blame me for being rude!"

Since he agreed with Domoto Yoshio, Qin Fang of course saw no need to immediately contradict himself. He was genuinely curious about the location of the treasury key.

At the same time, Qin Fang estimated that entering that treasure repository might require more than just a key; there could be other conditions involved.

As for this, Domoto Yoshio might not be clearly aware of...

"Thank you, thank you! I'll definitely be honest, definitely tell the truth..."

Domoto Yoshio expressed gratitude repeatedly with no backbone, hurriedly ensuring honesty, though others didn't really take him seriously.

"But, even if I won't kill you, trusting you completely is impossible, so... hehe!"

Qin Fang made everything clear upfront, and since this kid seemed to have other thoughts, Qin Fang said it all first.

Not only did he say it, but he also acted on it.

With a flash of silver in Qin Fang's hand, a few silver needles appeared between his fingers, and under Domoto Yoshio's shocked gaze, he quickly jabbed them into Domoto Yoshio's body several times.

"Hiss~~"

Domoto Yoshio drew a breath, not due to pain, but because the silver needles immediately buried deep into his skin without leaving a trace.

Meanwhile, his body, which was stiff and excited from fear and trembling, suddenly cooled... or more accurately, turned much colder, making him feel a chilling sense of death from within.

"You... you promised not to kill me!"

Yet the more it was like this, Domoto Yoshio's face turned worse, and his expression became twisted, almost growling through gritted teeth.

"Relax! I never said I would kill you..."

Qin Fang appeared utterly calm and unfazed, not taking Domoto Yoshio's reaction to heart at all.

"This is a secret technique of mine; besides me, no one else in the world can help you lift it... If you imagine seeking some master for help, you'll only die faster and in more pain!"

As Qin Fang had told Ji Xiang, although he wouldn't kill this little brat, Domoto Yoshio, he wouldn't easily let him off either, having plenty of means at his disposal.

"By the way, this secret technique lasts only three days. If within those three days you don't fulfill your promise, don't expect me to lift the constraint! Rest assured, even if the constraint isn't lifted, you won't die from it, but each day you will suffer excruciating pain... and with each passing day, this pain will last twice as long!"

Qin Fang had said before, he would make Domoto Yoshio's life more painful than death, and this constraint was one of the methods.

Earlier, Qin Fang had used silver needles on several secret acupoints on Domoto Yoshio; within three days, no major effects would surface, maybe just the occasional palpitation, likely unnoticed by Domoto Yoshio himself.

But after three days, this feeling would be magnified several times, making the pain much more noticeable... The further it went, the more amplified the pain became, until Domoto Yoshio found both living and dying an ordeal!

It is believed that ultimately Domoto Yoshio will only find one path to death!

However, whether he chooses to end himself sooner or later, he likely won't even have the strength for suicide unless someone else lends a hand!

"Let's go, time to head back!"

Having dealt with Domoto Yoshio, Qin Fang and his companions had essentially achieved their purpose this trip.

The people sent by Kawada Musashi, including Domoto Yoshio, had all fallen into Qin Fang's hands, leaving nothing to worry about.

As for the masters dispatched, Qin Fang knew their origins, but with Domoto Yoshio captured and no other survivors, even if their sects learned of this, there was nothing they could do to Qin Fang and his friends.

Lacking any evidence, and with Qin Fang's group deeply in cover, tracking them down would be no easy task.

Besides, with only a few people, Qin Fang's group managed to eliminate such a large team of masters; even the Holy Lands would have to consider Qin Fang's strength and the weight he carried carefully, likely refraining from any targeted actions anytime soon.

Having packed up simply, Qin Fang and his friends returned to the hotel where Qin Zi and Sakura had rested early.

Qin Fang and the others didn't fuss too much and each went back to their rooms to rest. As for Domoto Yoshio, the unlucky kid ended up in the hands of Hattori Sanzo!

Hattori Sanzo is the butler and thug for Qin Fang's group, so this kind of dirty and tiring work is all his to handle, and naturally, Domoto Yoshio is also his responsibility to watch over.

However, based on Domoto Yoshio's actions tonight, even if Qin Fang said not to kill him, Hattori Sanzo probably wouldn't be too polite to him...

Of course, this has little to do with Qin Fang. He knows that Hattori Sanzo might only give Domoto Yoshio some superficial suffering and is unlikely to kill him! The old man can still grasp this much...

The night passed without words.

Early the next morning, the others all gathered in Qin Fang's room, even Qin Zi and Sakura had arrived.

"Old Qin, you say it, what are we doing today?"

Thinking about what happened last night, Ji Xiang was about to let his anger out.

Today also happened to be the third day they had agreed upon with Kawada Musashi, and it was the day they were supposed to go into the mountain to fetch the treasure...

Had last night's events not occurred, Qin Fang and his team would have most likely just fetched the treasures and left. But since things unfolded like this, today's operation would be completely different.

"Don't rush, let's execute according to the prior agreement... I want to see what tricks Kawada Musashi can still bring out!"

Qin Fang smiled calmly and said.

Although they were certainly going for a fight today, there was no need to rush into battle. Going through the motions first before resorting to force was the way to go.

"Sure, we'll listen to you!"

Ji Xiang and the others didn't mind. They understood Qin Fang's personality, and knowing Kawada Musashi's petty mind, it was impossible for Qin Fang to be polite with him.

The main reason for the upfront manners is that they still want to get something good out of the Musashi School's treasure vault... Qin Fang might not care about these items, but the others could use some equipping.

Qin Fang can't possibly satisfy himself and starve his partners...

"Right, bring along that Domoto Yoshio kid too..."

Naturally, everyone would be going to the Musashi School together. The risk was negligible, as their current lineup was intimidating enough.

Since they were going for benefits, naturally, no one should be left out. It's fine if everyone prospers, but leaving anyone out wouldn't be appropriate.

Although Domoto Yoshio is annoying, he knows where the key to the treasure vault is kept and can be used as a scapegoat if necessary, so he should also be brought along.

"Young Master, what about her?"

However, Qin Zi pointed at an outsider within their team and asked.

This outsider was naturally the Saintess Sakura, whom Qin Fang had captured.

By keeping her, Qin Fang hoped to learn some of the secrets of the Six Great Holy Lands or the Dao Shen Sect. However, since Sakura hadn't fully submitted, she still needed to be kept.

Now that Qin Fang's team was about to charge into the Musashi School, a bloody battle might break out... Other members had Grandmaster Level Cultivation, and there shouldn't be any issues.

The real headache was how to handle Sakura...

"Bring her along too..."

Qin Fang thought for a moment and gently spoke.

Sakura's identity was special. Since she had already been captured by Qin Fang, she couldn't be allowed to escape, even if Qin Fang didn't care about her life or death, he didn't want his efforts to go to waste.

Because of this, Qin Fang couldn't leave her alone in the hotel...

With no one watching, even if she didn't intend to escape, it couldn't be guaranteed she wouldn't have other ideas, or that someone wouldn't sneak in while Qin Fang's group was away...

Instead of leaving a time bomb here, it was better to take her along! At least, if she tried anything funny, Qin Fang could squash it immediately.

Having considered this, Qin Fang walked up to Sakura, the Silver Needle in his hand quickly flipping, pricking her a few times, and then he withdrew his hand.

"You... lifted my restrictions?"

After Qin Fang finished, Sakura couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, because she found that not only could she speak normally, but her deep cultivation had also entirely returned!

"So what if I lifted it? Do you think you can escape from so many of us?"

However, before Sakura could even begin to enjoy her newfound freedom, Qin Fang poured a bucket of cold water over her, extinguishing all her happiness.

Just like Qin Fang said, even though she had regained her strength, she was only at the Quasi-Grandmaster Level Cultivation. Qin Fang's group was full of people like Ji Xiang and Hattori Sanzo, who were solid Grandmasters. Taking her down would be too easy, and escape was impossible...(To be continued.
