A Dish Best Served Cold (The Man In Rage)
Chapter 841 Sacred Object

"Damn, Mr Chu. Don't do it. If you don't want her, then I'll take her," blurted Li Er thoughtlessly.

Lei San was so startled that he kicked Li Er and said softly, "Li Er, what are you saying? Do you have a death wish?"

Some things shouldn't be said out loud.

Even though Lei San was thinking the same thing as Li Er, he wasn't stupid enough to say it out loud.

Even a fool could see how angry Mr Chu was, so saying such frivolous things at a time like this would end up adding fuel to the fire. Mr Chu might even end up slaughtering them. Sure enough, Ye Fan looked over with a cold stare.

Li Er was instantly terrified. He slapped himself twice quickly before he hung his head and left the room without daring to make a peep.

"Suzumiya Eigetsu, right? It's a lovely name. It's too bad that you encountered the wrong person."

Ye Fan's sinister voice rang as internal energy gathered in his palm.

It felt as though Ye Fan was about to slaughter someone.

"No, Mr Chu. I have more to tell you," implored Suzumiya Eigetsu desperately as she panicked.

"Then you better pray that I'm interested in what you are about to say. Or else, don't blame me for being cruel!"

Ye Fan raised his head and looked at Suzumiya Eigetsu as he waited for her to go on.

"Master, I know it is easy as pie for you to kill me. But if I am dead, who else can help you find my master? My master is the mighty Sword God of Japan. No one knows of his whereabouts except his closest kin. Or else, it is impossible to find him. My master has three disciples. You killed two of them, so that makes me the

sole surviving one. Only I can lead you to him," said Suzumiya Eigetsu anxiously as she panicked.

She seemed dreadfully worried that Ye Fan might take her life if she pissed him off.

Ye Fan laughed gently. "That makes sense. However, I can find Mochizuki Kawa even without you. I can threaten him with the survival of Sword Shrine, just like how he held Lei hostage. If he doesn't turn up, I will destroy Sword Shrine! I'm certain he will turn up, right? Sadly, what you said wasn't enough to save you."

Ye Fan spoke mockingly in a calm voice as though he was merely toying with ants.

Then a murderous vibe surged through Ye Fan.

"Mr Chu, I have more to say. I am sure you will be interested," said Suzumiya Eigetsu anxiously, "I know the whereabouts of the yasakani jade."

Hmm?

"Yasakani jade?"

Ye Fan was shocked and instantly frowned.

After a momentary silence, Ye Fan looked up at Suzumiya Eigetsu and asked, "One of the three Japanese sacred objects, the yasakani jade?"

Japanese martial arts stemmed from China in the first place.

However, it gradually came into its own after developing for over 1000 years. By now, there were many regionally and internationally renowned martial arts masters in Japan.

The most powerful martial artists in the history of Japan were undoubtedly Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Oda Nobunaga, and Tokugawa leyasu from the Sengoku period.

Toyotomi Hideyoshi was especially incredible. He managed to unite Japan, even sent troops to China, and waged countless wars with the nation.

Legend had it that Toyotomi Hideyoshi had humble beginnings before he became famous. Despite being a nobody, his status rose astronomically, and he became one of Japan's strongest martial artists. He owed it all to the yasakani jade.

Hence, the yasakani jade became a sacred object in the Japanese martial arts world.

The Book of Celestial Cloud contained knowledge about everything under the heavens.

Since Ye Fan was well versed with the Book of Celestial Cloud, he had an inkling of the Japanese sacred objects.

"But haven't all the three Japanese sacred objects disappeared? Can they be recovered?" asked Ye Fan curiously.

Suzumiya Eigetsu nodded and replied, "Yes, the Japanese sacred objects were handed down from ancient times. The kusanagi sword and yata mirror have gone missing over time, but not the yasakani jade. It is still in Japan. Since you have heard of the jade, you must know about what it is capable of, right?"

Ye Fan nodded and said expressionlessly in a deep voice, "The yasakani jade is filled with boundless energy. It can be used for internal cultivation or released as a shield for external protection. It is a martial arts sacred object which can be used for both attack and defense."

Li Er, Lei San, and the others were shocked and in awe when they heard this.

Since they were leaders, they had unsurpassable knowledge and experience.

However, they instantly realized how shallow they were after overhearing Ye Fan's conversation.

The world was a large place filled with things they didn't know about.

Since they lived in Jiangdong, their knowledge was inevitably only the tip of the iceberg.

They were like frogs in the well who had no clue how vast the world was.

If they didn't work for Mr Chu, they probably wouldn't have known such secrets in their lives, right?

"Mr Chu, if you spare me, I can take you to the yasakani jade in Japan. Is this enough to let me live?" asked Suzumiya Eigetsu as she looked at Ye Fan almost imploringly while she waited for his reply. After a brief period of silence, Ye Fan suddenly laughed.

"I have to admit that you have intrigued me, so I can spare you. But what you have said had better be the truth. Or else, I won't let you off if I find out that you have lied to me." Ye Fan's cold voice reverberated through the air.

Suzumiya Eigetsu knelt on the ground when she heard Ye Fan pardon her and thanked him nonstop.

Thank you for sparing me, Master. I promise that every word I said was the truth! If I have lied, you can punish me in whatever way you please."

Cold sweat had already broken out on Suzumiya Eigetsu's back from bowing to Ye Fan.

The short conversation they had was like a trip to hell for Suzumiya Eigetsu, so it felt as though it took forever.

After Ye Fan agreed to spare Suzumiya Eigetsu, she secretly glanced at him again.

She felt absolutely curious. Was Mr Chu really a young man in his 20s?

Why was his aura even more threatening than those respectable elders?
