1030 Lure the Tiger Away from Its Lair
Whoosh!
Phantom Rain's attack hit Chen Xiaobei squarely in the Dantian!
The immense force of the sword sent Chen Xiaobei flying at least ten meters away.
"Good! Now you can't run away, Chen Xiaobei!" Phantom Rain's lips curved into a beguiling smile.
Once Chen Xiaobei's Dantian was destroyed, his cultivation would be gone. He would not be able to communicate telepathically with the Somersault Cloud and would be falling from the sky any time soon!
"That's great! Master Phantom Rain did it! How awesome!"
"She captured Chen Xiaobei alive and only destroyed his cultivation, this is a great success!"
"I told you that this kid will never be able to escape from Master Phantom Rain's palm!"
"Hurry, go over the spot he fell, tie him up and then bring him back to Tenshou Island! Get ready to receive your reward! Haha…"
On the ground, the four Enigmatic Ninjas were celebrating, as they rushed to where Chen Xiaobei had fallen! But when they got there, they realized that though Chen Xiaobei was hit so hard he flew about ten meters away, he did not crash!
"Chen Yasai! Mark my words!" Chen Xiaobei was still midair, completely unharmed. "I will tie you up soon and I will smack your little ass until it cracks!"
After that, Chen Xiaobei flew off in the Somersault Cloud. Clearly, the reason why Chen Xiaobei could escape after Yasai struck her was because of the Ultimate Protective Puppet!
Seeing Chen Xiaobei leave just like that, left Phantom Rain and four Enigmatic Ninjas gaping at the sky.
"How… How did that happen…"
The smile on Phantom Rain stiffened. How could he had slipped through her fingers?!
This was really frustrating for her.
"What the hell… Could that kid be a deity? If it were either one of us, the sword would've pierced through us like a stick through candied fruits. It was nothing happened to him…"
The four Enigmatic Ninjas were still in a state of shock. They were just scampering to catch the crippled Chen Xiaobei.
But Chen Xiaobei was perfectly fine.
The four old quacks stood on the ground as fear engulfed them!
With Chen Xiaobei gone, they would surely receive severe punishment. What was worse was that the everyone below Enigmatic Ninjas in the Tenshou division were exterminated, the punishment for that would be even more severe!
Bam!
Phantom Rain came down from the sky. The ground where she had landed caved into a 'u'. Protected by the True Kang, she was completely unharmed.
"Quick! Pick up the phone and call Nikkawa Uchu! Now!" Phantom Rain did not waste a second.
Her position in the Tenshou was pretty high so, it would be nearly impossible to escape punishment.
She had to find another way to salvage the situation.
"Why are we calling Nikkawa Uchu? Didn't you say that you don't want him to find out in case he tries to snatch Chen Xiaobei himself?" The fat Black Tortoise Enigmatic Ninja asked, clearly perplexed by his leader's decision.
"Is your brain made out of mush? Did you not see what had just happened? Why are you still worried that he will snatch Chen Xiaobei? Chen Xiaobei was heading towards the direction of the Imperial Household Agency hospital. He's probably going back to hold Nikkawa Okazaka as hostage!" Phantom Rain spat. "We have to let Nikkawa Uchu intercept! If we don't, that useless crown prince will be captured, the Holy Lady from Divine Sovereign Sect won't be able to get married and the few of us left will be executed!"
"That…" Sweat poured down Black Tortoise Enigmatic Ninja's forehead and armpits. "Hurry! Quick! Green Dragon Boss dials the number! We need to block Chen Xiaobei or we'll all be toast!"
The other three Enigmatic Ninjas' face turned purple, a sudden chill ran down their spine.
Immediately, Green Dragon took out his phone and dialed, all the while his hands were shaking violently!
Although it was not spelled out, from the looks of it, it seemed like there was more to the crown prince's wedding.
It was not just a ceremony. There was an overriding motive to this event.
If the wedding could not take place, even these Celestial cultivated elites would not be able to escape judgment and death so easily!
......
Having flown away from the Shallow Grass Temple area. Chen Xiaobei immediately changed the course of his flight and headed for the Tokyo Imperial Palace.
Earlier, he had intentionally flown towards the Imperial Household Agency hospital to send his enemies on a wild goose chase. The destination he was headed for was actually the Emperor's quarters! He was going to steal the Xu Fu's treasure box!
If he did not act today, with Chen Zhufeng's mask blown and all, he could only dream of getting a hold of it!
Luckily, everything was as Chen Xiaobei had predicted.
From a distance, Chen Xiaobei could see a black shadow rush out of the Emperor's quarters like an arrow from a bow, a hundred times faster than a car!
That was none other than Nikkawa Uchu.
Now that the lion had left its den, Chen Xiaobei could infiltrate the Emperor's quarter without any qualms.
The Emperor's quarter was, obviously, under the surveillance of heavily armed soldiers. It was huge with an exquisitely decorated interior.
It would be a heck of a task to find Nikkawa Uchu's bedroom among the throngs of rooms.
But because that room was the prohibited area in the emperor's quarter, it was separated from the gargantuan house. The more accurate term to describe the room would be 'mausoleum'. It sat, all on its own, in the back yard; very easily spotted. Chen Xiaobei had used the Dreamcatcher Bell earlier and found out that even the crown prince Nikkawa Okazaka was forbidden to enter.
There was not a guard in sight but there were a dozen surveillance cameras and the most advanced police-monitored alarm system.
If anyone goes near it, the palace security, even Nikkawa Uchu himself, would be the first to be alerted.
While these may be an effective system to prevent the regular men from breaking and entering, it was useless against Chen Xiaobei!
"This is just too easy!"
Hovering 10m above the ground, Chen Xiaobei waved his hand and took out the Dragon's Edge!
He held the hilt with both hands, raised it above his head and shot down on the somersault cloud, aiming at the roof of the mausoleum and struck!
Bam!
The black sword fell like an aerolite and shattered the reinforced custom-built roof!
All over the emperor's quarters, the alarm rang.
But Chen Xiaobei was not worried about that at all. He moseyed towards Nikkawa Uchu's bed and found a metal brocade box next to the pillow.
"Xiao'er! Come out and open this lock!" Chen Xiaobei instructed.
"I'm coming!"
A gold beetle jumped out of Chen Xiaobei's pocket and chewed the box open in two bites.
"Violet Cold Steel! Mmm… It's so delicious…Wahaha…"
Xiao'er took a few more bites and jumped around, excited.
"Alright! Stop eating!" Chen Xiaobei shouted.
He knew that this brocade box was made of a very special metal—so special that even the leader of Divine Sovereign Sect could not pry it open.
This metal must be a Spiritual Item that could help him boost his health. He could not let Xiao'er gobble it up all by itself.
"Oh…" Xiao'er answered dejectedly as it stepped aside,
"Look at what's inside the box!" Chen Xiaobei said, full of anticipation.
