Li Yunji didn't speak, but his eyes narrowed visibly, looking somewhat timid. He directly retreated to the side, intending to bypass Chen Xiao and the other.

He didn't know Chen Xiao's identity, only feeling that they were incompatible, and nothing good ever came of encountering him.

The innocent beauty, thinking they knew each other, kindly reminded as Chen Xiao was heading up the mountain, "Are you going to the Beihai Shrine? They said they're holding some kind of large-scale ritual today, welcoming a very distinguished guest, and aren't receiving ordinary visitors. You should come another day."

"No need, the person they're welcoming is me."

Chen Xiao said with a smile. This girl looked so innocent and pure, but unfortunately, she had taken a liking to a playboy scumbag like Li Yunji.

The innocent beauty was completely stunned. She couldn't tell if Chen Xiao was joking or serious.

It didn't seem like he was serious, but this joke wasn't funny at all!

Li Yunji completely lost it. He had seen people show off, but never like this.

He sneered, "You're saying the Beihai Shrine is closed for you? Who do you think you are? Do you know where this is? We're all Chinese, so don't blame me for not reminding you, this shrine is very effective. If you talk nonsense, be careful the gods punish you!"

"Bold! How dare you disrespect Master! Be careful I cut out your tongue!"

Araki Kamiko said coldly as soon as Li Yunji finished speaking.

Li Yunji recalled the way President Yamaguchi bowed and scraped before Araki Kamiko, and was immediately too frightened to speak.

"Forget it, Kamiko, let's keep going."

Chen Xiao said calmly, he wasn't in the mood to argue with a nobody like Li Yunji.

"Yes, Master!"

Araki Kamiko said respectfully.

The two climbed the steps and continued up the mountain.

"Aji, who are they?"

After the two had walked away, the innocent beauty asked in a low voice.

"I don't know him, he's probably a lunatic. How else could he say something like that, saying he's the one they're welcoming. You wouldn't say something like that without ten years of delusions!"

Li Yunji said dismissively, "Alright, ignore them, let's go down the mountain!"

Chen Xiao and Araki Kamiko walked step by step towards the summit.

The closer they got to the summit, the denser the fog became.

In the distance, a torii gate stood atop the mountain. Beyond the torii gate was the territory of the Beihai Shrine.

Several samurai-dressed men guarded the entrance of the torii gate. When they saw the two walking towards the summit, they immediately became nervous.

Although they didn't recognize Chen Xiao, they recognized Araki Kamiko and could naturally guess Chen Xiao's identity.

Immediately, one of the samurai rushed inside the shrine to report the news.

Chen Xiao and Araki Kamiko passed through the entrance. The remaining samurai didn't dare to stop them, after all, the story of Chen Xiao single-handedly annihilating the Araki clan had spread like wildfire.

Inside the shrine, thousands of people had gathered.

They were all practitioners from around Hokkaido: samurai, ninja, illusionists, onmyoji, and so on...

There were even some gangsters who had come to protect the shrine. In their eyes, Chen Xiao was a super-strong villain.

And at that moment, the great villain was slowly approaching them.

Until he appeared before them, calm and collected.

They had thought Chen Xiao would be a terrifying person, but they didn't expect him to look like an ordinary young man.
