Chapter 84

Xia Yunjie didn't understand what Chiyoda Kako and the Yamata no Orochi were saying, but seeing the Yamata no Orochi's eyes filled with greed and ferocity, and its mouth dripping with saliva, he roughly guessed the meaning. He couldn't help but straighten his back, clench his fists tightly, and instantly his muscles bulged. The ancient and powerful aura of the Witch King Xia Yu suddenly burst forth from his body, making him appear tall and imposing, like a towering mountain, and as if a king had descended, looking down upon the world!

"Great King, spare my life! Great King, spare my life!" Xia Yunjie's sudden straightening and clenching of his fists were originally meant to fight the Yamata no Orochi with his physical strength, but unexpectedly, the Yamata no Orochi suddenly rolled down from the air, its eight heads touching the ground, and it repeatedly bowed and begged for mercy.

Seeing the terrifying Yamata no Orochi suddenly roll to the ground and beg for mercy, and speaking in Chinese, not only were Chiyoda Kako and the others completely stunned, but even Xia Yunjie couldn't help but stare in shock.

No way, this guy is calling me Great King? Could it be?

A flash of lightning suddenly crossed Xia Yunjie's mind.

In the boundless ancient wilderness, a giant flood raged, and a mountain-like giant stood tall above the flood. Countless ancient flood beasts bowed to him. In the midst of the dark mass of ancient flood beasts, there was a small snake with eight heads and eight tails.

The image emerged, and Xia Yunjie suddenly understood. This was an ancient flood beast from the ancient wilderness, the Yamata no Orochi, a remnant soul of the Japanese mythological god Yamata no Orochi.

Although the Yamata no Orochi looked ferocious, in the ancient era, it was just an insignificant small snake among countless flood beasts. Now, its physical body was completely destroyed, and only a remnant soul lingered in the black jade. Xia Yunjie, however, possessed the bloodline of the ancient Witch King Xia Yu. When he exerted his witch power, the aura of a king was fully revealed, instantly scaring the remnant soul of the Yamata no Orochi almost to the point of disintegration.

In the ancient wilderness, the Witch King Xia Yu was the supreme existence for such a "small snake"!

"Go back to your place!" Understanding the reason, Xia Yunjie didn't want to fight the Yamata no Orochi anymore and sternly commanded.

"遵命大王！" The Yamata no Orochi immediately bowed its eight heads in response, then rolled on the ground a few times and finally transformed into a black mist, retreating back into the black jade.

As the Yamata no Orochi returned to the black jade, the sky suddenly became bright and clear. The sun shone on the earth, and the surrounding yin energy dissipated, restoring the lush greenery and vitality of the villa courtyard. However, Chiyoda Kako and the others felt no warmth from the sunlight or the greenery. Instead, they felt an increasing chill, their limbs turning cold, and their teeth chattering uncontrollably. Their eyes were filled with endless fear when they looked at Xia Yunjie.

Especially Chiyoda Kako, the current head of the Chiyoda family and the only yin-yang master who could awaken the Yamata no Orochi. She knew the Yamata no Orochi's origin and its power better than anyone. This was a true ancient flood beast, a remnant soul of the Japanese mythological god Yamata no Orochi. Even just a remnant soul was terrifyingly powerful to her. She thought it would definitely subdue the young man in front of her, but she never imagined that the Yamata no Orochi would immediately bow and beg for mercy at the sight of the young man.

The scene was even more pitiful than a mouse seeing a cat, a trembling fear that came from the depths of the soul, a natural fear of something.

Chiyoda Kako had placed her hopes on the Yamata no Orochi, but seeing it retreat obediently back into the black jade, she had no will to resist. Not only did she have no will to resist, but now she felt nothing but fear and endless admiration for Xia Yunjie.

Yes, a person who could make the Yamata no Orochi bow and beg for mercy was a supreme existence. As a mere yin-yang master, what choice did she have but to obey and submit?

"I, Chiyoda Kako, swear to the heavens that I will serve and follow my master for the rest of my life. If I violate this oath, my physical body will be destroyed, and my soul will fall into hell, suffering the torment of hellfire day and night!" After the shock, Chiyoda Kako, like she had done before the Yamata no Orochi, bowed to the ground, this time to Xia Yunjie.

With her plump buttocks raised, after performing the ritual of submission and worship, Chiyoda Kako bit her tongue and spat a mouthful of blood into the air.

Seeing this, a hint of hesitation flashed in Xia Yunjie's eyes, but it quickly turned to determination. He pointed at the air, and the blood floated in mid-air. He then made a series of hand signs, and the blood transformed into an ancient and mysterious talisman, which was imprinted on Chiyoda Kako's forehead and gradually disappeared.

"Now it's your turn!" After receiving Chiyoda Kako's blood oath, Xia Yunjie turned his calm and merciless gaze to Chiyoda Yuki and Masao Sato.

Seeing the head of the family submit to Xia Yunjie, Chiyoda Yuki had no hesitation, and Masao Sato, being a practical person, also quickly made a blood oath without much hesitation.

In fact, Masao Sato didn't have the courage to refuse. Xia Yunjie's series of actions had already shattered his worldview, and in his eyes, Xia Yunjie had become a terrifying existence like a heavenly deity. Even if Xia Yunjie only wanted his submission, if he demanded immediate suicide, Masao Sato would have no choice but to comply.

After receiving the blood oaths of Chiyoda Kako and the others, Xia Yunjie gained three servants: a yin-yang master, a ninja, and the leader of a Japanese financial group. However, he felt no sense of achievement or pride. Instead, he felt a heavy burden and even some oppression.

The previous forced submission of Shen Ziliang hadn't left such a strong impression, but this time, he clearly felt that his innate violent nature was being stirred by a strong desire. It was the desire to use his supernatural power to forcefully possess and conquer!

This was not what Xia Yunjie wanted to see, nor what he desired, and certainly not what his deceased master would have wanted to see.

He mingled in the secular world, willing to work in a low-profile manner in a bar, to wear down his innate violent and bloody nature, to prevent this supernatural power from controlling him, leading him to lose his way in life and fall into the abyss of violence and slaughter.

In a sense, Xia Yunjie was also an official, an unofficial one. His power came from his supernatural abilities. If he couldn't control and restrain his supernatural abilities, doing whatever he wanted, it would be a loss of control of his power, no different from the corrupt and evil officials who abuse their power. The only difference is that one is a power granted by heaven, and the other is a power granted by the people, and the latter's corruption is even more unacceptable because the power is granted by the people.

One forced submission, and another, made Xia Yunjie deeply feel the pleasure of being in a high position, controlling the life and death of others. This pleasure was easy to become addictive and lead to obsession.

But if not this way, what should be done? Should he kill them directly? Or let them go, but what if they don't repent and come back for trouble, or even target Sister Zhong? Xia Yunjie looked at Chiyoda Kako and the others, feeling conflicted and confused.

He wasn't afraid of them coming for trouble, but he was afraid they would target Sister Zhong, which he couldn't guard against!

Seeing their master's gaze, Chiyoda Kako and the others quickly bowed their heads, their expressions filled with fear.

After the series of events, Xia Yunjie had become a god-like existence in their eyes. They only felt deep fear and reverence from the depths of their souls.

Seeing the fearful expressions of Chiyoda Kako and the others, Xia Yunjie's feelings became even more complex and conflicted. On one hand, he enjoyed the feeling of being in a high position, but on the other hand, he disliked becoming such a person.

Forget it, forget it, why think so much? As long as I have a clear conscience and maintain my true self, I will try to do less of this in the future! His thoughts were chaotic, and the more he thought, the more confused he became. Finally, Xia Yunjie shook his head and stopped thinking about it.

In this way, the heavy burden on Xia Yunjie's heart was suddenly lifted, and he felt a sense of relief. Even Xia Yunjie felt that his character had improved slightly at this moment.

Life is full of flavors, and learning to face oneself and resist the temptation of being in a high position is also a part of life. Xia Yunjie sighed inwardly, and his gaze on Chiyoda Kako and the others changed from conflicted to calm and composed.

"Although I have taken your blood oaths, you will never betray me in this life. But rest assured, I will not interfere in your lives and affairs under normal circumstances. However, there is one thing you must remember: I am Chinese, and you cannot do anything that harms China. Otherwise, I will not be lenient. Especially you, Masao Sato, as a businessman, I don't oppose you making money in China, but if you use despicable means again, you will suffer the torment of hellfire day and night!" Xia Yunjie, now calm, sat back in the rattan chair and slowly said to the three people in front of him.

Although Xia Yunjie spoke slowly and calmly, his words carried an indescribable authority. Chiyoda Kako and the others hurriedly knelt on the ground, and Masao Sato repeatedly bowed, saying, "Master, in the future, I will do business in China with integrity and will also speak up and work for China in Japan."

As he spoke, Masao Sato's forehead was already covered in cold sweat.

When they first met, he looked down on Xia Yunjie and didn't believe that a young man like him could be a master. But now, he absolutely believed that Xia Yunjie could send him to hell with just a slight movement of his finger!
