Chapter 780: Chapter 780

"Thirteen, I will make this Japanese martial artist speak in a moment—translate for us!"

Fang Bai instructed Long Shisan, then lightly tapped on Mutou Ye’s body, releasing his sealed acupoints.

Like being electrocuted, Mutou Ye immediately woke up from his comatose state.

Seeing Fang Bai and the others in front of him, Mutou Ye’s eyes bulged in anger, cursing loudly and attempting to leap up and attack.

Extending a hand, Fang Bai pointed at Mutou Ye’s chest once more—this time, however, Mutou Ye did not fall unconscious; instead, he stood still as if petrified, unable to move an inch.

"Thirteen, tell this Japanese martial artist to look into my eyes!"

Fang Bai commanded Long Shisan.

Long Shisan immediately translated Fang Bai’s words to Mutou Ye.

After hearing Long Shisan’s translation, Mutou Ye, unsure of what Fang Bai intended to do but without giving it much thought, glared back at Fang Bai with rounded, furious eyes while continuing to curse non-stop.

But when his gaze met Fang Bai’s, his head spun with dizziness. Soon after, it was as if he had fallen into an endless abyss, and suddenly, his consciousness was no longer his own.

At that instant, Mutou Ye’s thoughts were completely controlled by Fang Bai, who had applied the "Soul Capture Technique." From that moment on, Mutou Ye would reveal everything without reservation, no matter what Fang Bai asked.

"Thirteen, ask him: Are they from the Hattori Clan of Japan? What are they doing in our Huaxia?"

Fang Bai kept his eyes fixed on Mutou Ye and instructed Long Shisan.

Long Shisan did not dare to delay and translated Fang Bai’s words to Mutou Ye.

Mutou Ye, with a vacant gaze, resembled a zombie; whatever Fang Bai asked, he responded without hesitation. It didn’t take long for all the information Fang Bai wanted to know to be extracted.

"As expected, it’s the Hattori Clan from Japan! Humph, the Hattori Clan really has some nerve to extend their reach into our Huaxia!"

Long Shisan clenched his fists and said angrily.

"Kyokushinkai is playing with fire! Do they think our Huaxia’s Dragon Guard doesn’t exist?"

The Dragon Maiden’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, her tone cold as she spoke.

Although "Kyokushinkai" is a leading force in Japan, compared to the "Dragon Guard" of Huaxia, which ranks among the world’s seven major Meta-Human organizations, it is significantly weaker. Should a confrontation arise, "Kyokushinkai" would inevitably suffer heavy losses.

The Hattori Clan sent martial artists to infiltrate Huaxia, seeking an ancient treasure said to have been hidden decades ago, believing their actions were undetected. Little did they know they would run into Fang Bai who uncovered their plans.

"The treasures from back then were plundered from various places in Huaxia by the Japanese army. They cannot be allowed to fall into the hands of their descendants! Instructor Fang, we must stop them!"

Filled with righteous indignation, Long Shisan said.

Fang Bai said with a smile, "The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind. The Hattori Clan’s martial artists will soon find out that the treasure they’ve painstakingly located will turn out to be a wedding dress for us!"

Dragon Maiden glanced at Fang Bai, and a smile suddenly appeared on her frost-covered face. In a low voice, she said to Fang Bai, "When Thirteen and I were coming here, our leader specifically instructed us that, after we take care of the Martial Artists from the Hattori Clan, the treasures would first be at Instructor Fang’s disposal to select a few of his choice, and the remaining would be taken back to the national treasury!"

Fang Bai knew this was an act of goodwill from Long Jingtian towards himself and did not refuse, waving his hand, he said, "Let’s talk about the treasure once we find it! There’s no time to delay, let’s head to Flying Dragon Mountain right away!"

"What about this man?"

Long Shisan pointed to Mutou Ye, who was still in a dazed state.

"Deal with it yourself!"

As Fang Bai spoke, he led the way, and Dragon Maiden followed closely behind. Neither of them looked back at Mutou Ye again.

The members of the "Dragon Guard" were battle-hardened through fire and blood. They held no compassion towards their enemies, so one could imagine the fate that befell Mutou Ye at the hands of Long Shisan.

After dealing with Mutou Ye, Long Shisan quickly caught up with Fang Bai and Dragon Maiden. The three of them sped up and headed towards Flying Dragon Mountain.

At this moment, in the Deadman’s Valley of Flying Dragon Mountain, Hattori Yumi stood atop a large rock, about three meters high, directing her dozen or so Martial Artists to search carefully around the mountainside.

According to the Treasure Map, the burial site of the treasure was in a cave on the mountainside of Deadman’s Valley, near Flying Dragon Mountain. Back then, a high-ranking military official of the Hattori Clan had ordered the army to drive thousands of nearby civilians to transport the treasure into the cave, then sealed the cave with massive rocks and brushwood, and thereafter, executed nearly a thousand civilians who transported the gold.

Since then, Deadman’s Valley had become forbidden territory in the hearts of nearby villagers, and no one dared to step foot in it; thus, the treasure remained undiscovered.

Times change, and people come and go; decades passed, and the side of Deadman’s Valley near Flying Dragon Mountain had already grown over with weeds, making it difficult to find the sealed cave entrance.

However, Hattori Yumi firmly believed that as long as the treasure was here, it would definitely be found.

Last night, without Mutou Ye’s return, Hattori Yumi did not pay special attention. She did not consider that something might have happened to Mutou Ye. She simply thought that perhaps after killing those two Huaxians, Mutou Ye got lost on his way back. After finding the treasure, it would not be too late to send people to look for him.

About an hour later, suddenly a Martial Artist from Japan shouted in excitement, having found the sealed cave entrance.

Hattori Yumi’s spirits soared. After clearing the brush in that area, indeed, they discovered a cave entrance sealed with large rocks.

The rocks blocking the cave could weigh from a few hundred to thousands of pounds. Without heavy machinery or explosives, it was impossible for ordinary people to remove or displace those rocks.

But this was not a problem for Hattori Yumi and the others, who were Profound Level and Earth Level Martial Artists. They had no issue moving rocks weighing several hundred pounds. For the stones weighing over a thousand pounds, they joined forces to shatter the rocks into pieces before moving them aside.

The dozen or so Martial Artists from Japan, as if injected with adrenaline, tirelessly continued their clearing efforts. By noon, they had finally cleared the rocks, revealing an entrance that was three meters tall and about five meters wide.

"Leave eight people outside to guard, the rest follow me into the cave to take a look!"

Looking at the pitch-black entrance, Hattori Yumi suppressed the excitement in her heart, took a deep breath, and followed a few subordinates holding lighting equipment as they slowly walked into the cave.

The cave was deep, and the space opened up the further they went. After about fifteen meters, the sight before Hattori Yumi and the others brightened—ahead were piles of gold, jewels, and ancient paintings and calligraphy.

The gold and jewels shone dazzlingly in the vast darkness of the huge cave, filled with infinite allure.

Hattori Yumi held her breath, her gaze slowly sweeping over the treasure in front of her. Then she stepped forward, touching each piece, her face showing an excitement she could not hide.
