Several Fusang office workers immediately emerged from the office building, while a small squad of embassy guards swiftly converged from all directions.
Perhaps because it was well past closing hours, and coupled with the rainy night, there weren't many people in the embassy office building.
A burly guard captain stepped forward and, in broken Dragon Country language, roared, "Who are you people, daring to trespass into the embassy office!"
As the Zhenbei King of the Dragon Country, even though his current status was sensitive and awkward, he still possessed pride. The Fusang embassy in Shanghai had dared to propose judging him, so Xiao Yunlong naturally wouldn't be polite or show them any pleasantries.
Therefore, he simply chose to force his way in!
"Tell your person in charge here that my name is Xiao Yunlong, and tell him to get out here immediately to see me!" Xiao Yunlong said loudly as he pushed open the door and got out of the car.
"Xiao Yunlong? So it's you!"
The guard captain had likely heard of Xiao Yunlong's name before. He squinted and sized Xiao Yunlong up before instructing, "You few, keep an eye on him. I'll go report!"
With that, he hurried towards the building behind, his expression somewhat flustered and nervous.
Judging by his demeanor, the guard captain had clearly learned about the matter of several Fusang ronin warriors being killed by Xiao Yunlong at the Eastern Region Grand Camp.
Xiao Yunlong did not rush. He stood in the courtyard, waiting quietly, with Tu Fu and others standing by his side.
They did not wait long. Soon, a middle-aged Fusang man in a suit and tie hurried over. This was the person in charge of the Fusang embassy office in Shanghai, Kikuta Ichiro!
Behind Kikuta Ichiro was a squad of Fusang warriors armed with katanas, numbering about thirty. It seemed these were likely members of the Fusang Warrior Alliance.
In addition, there was a small squad of Fusang swordsmen with long swords at their waists, likely from the Fusang Sword Saint Palace, totaling fifteen or sixteen people.
The two groups of people surged out from the left and right like a tide, instantly surrounding Xiao Yunlong and his entourage in the courtyard.
Xiao Yunlong stood firm in place, not even glancing at these so-called Fusang warriors and swordsmen. To ordinary people, these individuals might be considered formidable experts, with the strongest perhaps being Grandmasters at the Huajin level. To him, however, they were pathetically weak, no different from ants.
However, at a certain moment, Xiao Yunlong's expression changed slightly. With his super-sensitive perception, honed by cultivating the Three Thousand Divine Kingdom Art, he suddenly sensed six powerful auras deep within the backyard.
"It seems the Fusang embassy in Shanghai has indeed made preparations. They've even hidden experts, as if waiting for me to come to them!"
Xiao Yunlong snorted inwardly, his expression returning to normal in an instant.
Kikuta Ichiro approached and stared at Xiao Yunlong with his large, bell-like eyes, speaking in a deep voice, "Are you Mr. Xiao Yunlong?"
Before Xiao Yunlong could reply, the person in charge of the Fusang embassy office in Shanghai scoffed again, "I am aware of your return, but I did not expect you to arrive so quickly, nor to force your way in directly. This is my Fusang embassy office in Shanghai. Your actions, sir, clearly show a lack of respect for Fusang!"
Xiao Yunlong stood in the courtyard like a javelin, his hands behind his back, and looked directly at the other party, a cold smile on his lips. "Your letter stated that Fusang intended to judge me, so I came to see precisely how you intend to conduct this judgment!"
Kikuta Ichiro chuckled, "You possess great courage and boldness. Frankly, I admire you, sir. However, as your Dragon Country proverb goes, 'catching a turtle in a jar,' which describes your current predicament!"
"If you want to catch me, you are simply not capable enough!" Xiao Yunlong sneered.
"Rest assured, sir, I have that confidence. After apprehending you, I guarantee that through secret channels, you and your subordinates will be secretly transported to Fusang. There, you will receive a fair, just, and public trial from Fusang, a trial witnessed by the entire world!" Kikuta Ichiro declared confidently from the steps.
The hot-tempered White Tiger General, Tu Fu, could no longer stand it. He gritted his teeth and snorted, "With mere trash like you, you dare to claim you will judge my lord? You're dreaming! Today, I will slay all of you!"
Kikuta Ichiro merely gave a slight cold laugh and then, unhurriedly, waved his hand, "This is none of your concern. Leave quickly!"
The overtime office workers and the dozen or so security guards, upon hearing this, turned and left without hesitation. After all, they understood that this situation was not something they could participate in.
Of course, Xiao Yunlong did not stop them from leaving the building. These were ordinary people hired to work, and there were even two Dragon Country nationals among them. Xiao Yunlong naturally would not trouble such common folk.
Soon, the entire Shanghai embassy became quiet. Even the two cleaning ladies working there fled in panic. No other irrelevant individuals remained.
The autumn rain, which had stopped for a while, began to fall again in a drizzle. All the lights in the office building suddenly went out, with only the dim, scattered lights from the streetlights nearby casting their glow. On this rainy night, it inexplicably felt desolate, while also adding a considerable sense of grimness.
Without any warning, with a faint "swoosh," two elderly Fusang figures in black samurai robes appeared beside Kikuta Ichiro.
In addition, there was another elderly Fusang warrior in wooden clogs, holding a katana, who advanced step by step. What was astonishing, however, was that within just two steps, he seemed to have traversed over ten meters, appearing right before them.
This sudden turn of events, besides Xiao Yunlong, left even the White Tiger General Tu Fu and the Black Tortoise General Zhuge Wushuang in extreme shock.
"What... did you guys see how these three old Fusang fellows appeared? I didn't sense anything beforehand!"
Tu Fu's eyes widened, and he swallowed hard, saying, "If they had launched a surprise attack on me with such terrifying movement techniques, I would have had no way to resist, and would have been instantly killed."
Zhuge Wushuang also sighed, "I didn't sense anything beforehand either. The movement techniques of these three old fellows are truly terrifying. If my judgment is correct, their cultivation has definitely surpassed the Martial King realm and entered the legendary Innate Aperture Opening realm!"
"Innate Aperture Opening realm? Doesn't that mean these three old Fusang dogs are super-shadow level experts, surpassing Fusang's Shadow level?"
Tu Fu clenched his teeth and cursed inwardly, "Damn it, it seems the Fusang embassy in Shanghai was well-prepared this time. They calculated that we would come, so they invited these three Fusang super-shadow level experts in advance!"
As they spoke, not only Zhuge Wushuang and Tu Fu, but also Tang Bowen, Jun Bufan, and Pan Chaofeng, their expressions became subtly tense.
After all, up to this point, they still weren't entirely sure of their lord's martial cultivation level.
At this moment, Xiao Yunlong remained as composed as ever, standing erect. He slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Three super-shadow level experts? No, this time you are mistaken. They have invited more than three, but six!"
"Six? Then where are the other three..."
However, before Tu Fu could finish, Zhuge Wushuang suddenly pointed to a large tree in the backyard ahead and shouted, "There, on that tree, there's another one!"
"Good heavens, there really is another one! Then where are the remaining two?" Tu Fu gritted his teeth.
"Look up!" Xiao Yunlong pointed to the rooftop of the seven-story building before them.
Everyone immediately looked up, only to see two elderly Fusang swordsmen, dressed in training attire, standing on the rooftop, their robes fluttering.
"Six venerables, it's actually six super-shadow level experts. This is going to be a big problem!" Pan Chaofeng swallowed hard.
"Damn it, we seem to have been a bit careless. With just us few, facing six super-shadow level Innate Aperture Opening realm experts, it won't be easy!"
Even the usually steady Zhuge Wushuang's expression turned unnatural.
Kikuta Ichiro couldn't help but smile smugly, chuckling, "Mr. Xiao, don't you feel like you're caught in a trap now?"
Xiao Yunlong also raised the corner of his mouth and smiled faintly, "So what if you are prepared? Are super-shadow level experts really that strong? Today, I will let you know that on the land of my Dragon Country, your Fusang warriors and swordsmen can never run rampant and trample as they please; and I, Xiao Yunlong, am even less someone you can judge!"
"You few, stop these guards. Don't let any of them escape. Those six super-shadow Fusang dogs are mine to deal with!"
As Xiao Yunlong's voice fell, sixteen Divine Kingdoms within his body were suddenly opened, and his entire aura transformed!
This was the most Divine Kingdoms he had ever opened in his life.
