An Onmyoji is a native cultivator of the Eastern Isles.
It originally originated from the Yin-Yang theory of the Dragon Country, and later spread to the Eastern Isles, gradually developing the Way of Yin-Yang based on the five elements of Yin and Yang.
In its subsequent development, the Way of Yin-Yang once flourished, becoming the sole exclusive diviner for the Emperor, with a status second to none among the various sects in Japan at that time.
Later, cultivators in the Way of Yin-Yang combined it with the Jujutsu and Shintoism, gradually developing the unique Eastern Isles' Way of Yin-Yang.
In addition to daily divination and observing good and bad fortune, they could also manipulate Shikigami to defeat enemies and apprehend criminals.
The most well-known among them is the greatest ancestor-level Onmyoji in history, Abe no Seimei.
The reason Qin Xuan knew the term Onmyoji was also because he had heard Abe no Seimei's story in a game he played before.
Therefore, when the Hundred Ghosts Emperor mentioned Shikigami, he subconsciously thought of the profession of Onmyoji.
"Heh heh, good kid, you even know about the cultivation factions of the Eastern Isles."
"That's right, the ones using children's souls behind the scenes to enhance their cultivation and feed their Shikigami are the Onmyoji of the Eastern Isles!"
"And the ones operating openly for them, abducting children from various places, are the Tojo family!"
"The Tojo family?"
Qin Xuan was stunned.
He was very familiar with this surname.
Besides the Eastern Isles woman named Tojo Yōki he had encountered in Yunnan Province, there was another similar name that he would never forget in his life.
That was one of the ringleaders of the invasion of the Dragon Country, the internationally designated Class A war criminal, Hideki Tojo!
This "chicken" had planned a series of war plans targeting the Dragon Country and the world.
He was the number one war criminal of the Eastern Isles, one hundred percent.
But even so, his crimes were still not acknowledged by most people in the Eastern Isles.
The Tojo family could still stand tall in the Eastern Isles many years later.
"This is bad!"
As soon as he thought of Tojo Yōki, Qin Xuan suddenly felt a flash of lightning go through his mind.
Everyone turned their gaze to Qin Xuan, and Ke Wudi frowned, looking at his disciple.
In his impression, Qin Xuan had never shown such an anxious expression before.
"What's wrong, Xuan'er?"
"Don't panic, tell Master and the others what's going on."
Qin Xuan nodded and said quickly, "When I was in Yunnan Province, I encountered the eldest daughter of the Tojo family, Tojo Yōki."
"At that time, we had some friction due to gambling on stones, and the matter was eventually dropped."
"But I clearly remember that when this woman was discussed, many people around her were very afraid of her."
"Some even said that she had taken those who provoked her across the border to silence them."
"At the time, I just thought this woman was rich and powerful, and outsiders didn't dare to provoke her."
"But thinking about it now, she's an Eastern Isles heiress. Even if she doesn't stay in the Eastern Isles normally, why would she bring people to Yunnan Province?"
"Even if she was there to purchase some jade for her family, she should have brought professional jade experts instead of wandering around alone and competing with me for jade."
"So you suspect that Tojo Yōki might still be continuing their past actions?"
Ke Wudi's brows furrowed, and Qin Xuan replied solemnly.
"That's right."
"I think we should still send people to Yunnan Province to investigate, especially along the China-Myanmar border, near Ruili."
"If that Tojo Yōki is indeed handling such matters, then a chaotic place like the China-Myanmar border would definitely be a very suitable choice!"
"Oh! Right!"
"I'll also call General Pan Lin immediately and ask him to help search in Myanmar."
"If the Eastern Isles people are wary of our country, it's not impossible for them to abduct people to Myanmar for rituals."
"In any case, we must act quickly. It's better to make a mistake than to gamble with more young lives!"
With a grim expression, Qin Xuan quickly stated his thoughts.
Ke Wudi nodded repeatedly after hearing this, and even the Hundred Ghosts Emperor couldn't help but exclaim.
"Good!"
"You kid have my temperament!"
"Not only kind-hearted and meticulous, but also concerned about the country and the world!"
"Just for your reaction, I'm willing to write off all past grievances between us!"
"It's a pity you're the direct disciple of these three old fellows, otherwise, I would definitely become sworn brothers with you!"
"Senior, you flatter me."
Without delay, Ke Wudi quickly asked Xie Yuqin to inform the summit of Qin Xuan's conjecture.
As for Qin Xuan, he also took out his phone and called Pan Lin on the spot.
Upon hearing that the Eastern Isles people were causing trouble again, Pan Lin readily agreed without a second word.
Although the Ruili border was not his territory, the people of Myanmar also harbored hatred towards the Eastern Isles people.
After the call, Qin Xuan again asked Xie Yuqin for the summit's opinion.
The summit also did not dare to delay and immediately notified the Yunnan Provincial Security Branch to dispatch personnel for the search.
After all, if Qin Xuan was telling the truth, every second of delay could lead to innocent children being harmed.
"But most of the experts are in the capital participating in the martial arts gathering. If they really find an Eastern Isles stronghold, can Yunnan Province handle it smoothly?"
"If not, I should go there myself. Even if the Eastern Isles have Grandmaster-level existences, the Security Bureau won't be powerless to resist."
After hearing Xie Yuqin's report, Qin Xuan's brows furrowed.
Since those Eastern Isles people were looking for children to improve their cultivation and raise Shikigami.
Then the cultivators who performed the evil arts must also be staying with the children.
In this way, the few martial arts grandmasters left behind by the Security Bureau might not be enough.
As for the ordinary police officers...
Even with guns in their hands, their combat power was still less than one-tenth of that of a martial arts grandmaster.
The opponent only needed to spare one or two people to deal with them specifically, and they would have no power to resist.
However, Qin Xuan's thoughts were good, but he didn't expect his suggestion to be immediately rejected by Ke Wudi.
Qin Xuan was the real protagonist of this martial arts competition, and Ke Wudi would not allow him to delay things on matters that were merely inferred.
"Xuan'er, don't worry. I've already informed the Security Branch of the importance of this matter in advance."
"We just need to wait patiently for the comrades from the Security Bureau to investigate."
"Besides, these matters are just reasonable inferences you've made based on the old ghost's description. Whether they are true or not is still uncertain."
"If you go to Yunnan Province and find that this matter doesn't exist at all, the toing and froing would be enough to exhaust you physically and mentally."
Ke Wudi patiently explained his decision to Qin Xuan, and Zheng Wanqing, who had been silent, also nodded.
"Yes, Xuan'er, you care about the people, and you want to go in person. Master and the others are very understanding and very happy."
"But this is ultimately just your inference, not one hundred percent confirmed."
"If you are really worried, we can let other experts take a trip to Yunnan Province."
"Other experts?"
Zheng Wanqing nodded.
She parted her red lips and her gaze turned to the Hundred Ghosts Emperor sitting beside them.
"If I remember correctly, there is one person who does not need to participate in this martial arts competition."
"Not only does he have the same patriotic sentiments as you, but he also has an extraordinary sense of ghostly aura."
"If you let him go to Yunnan Province in your stead, you should be able to rest assured, right?"
