Chapter 1003: Secret Order from Tenshou
Those who entered had all died?
Was it a bedroom or hell?
Chen Xiaobei asked, troubled, "Even you are forbidden to enter?"
"Yeah, I can't go in. it is completely off-limits!" Nikkawa Okazaka answered with absolute certainty.
Chen Xiaobei frowned deeply at this. "He won't even allow his own son to enter. How obscure! It looks like I will have to go check it out myself!
"Commander-in-chief! Has the crown prince awaken? The doctor said that the machines detected some changes in his body!" a voice came from outside the room.
"No, he's not! Come in and watch him while I go out for a smoke!"
Chen Xiaobei rang the Dreamcatcher Bell and lifted him out of the state Nikkawa Okazaka was in and then left the ward.
In the hospital garden.
It was already dawn and there was no one else around.
Chen Xiaobei drank a bottle of Hundred Herbs Potion to replenish his energy.
Then he began chalking out how to get into a prohibited area where a 90,000 combat-power person kept watch!
...
At the same time...
The lights were on in the grand hall of Tenshou's building, the VIP of Tenshou Japan Division had all gathered there.
According to Tanaka Tsuyoshi, there were a total of four ninjas with Celestial cultivation and twelve ninjas with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana stage in Tenshou Japan Division.
Tanaka Tsuyoshi had already become Chen Xiaobei's loyal hound.
Nikkawa Daichi had already been sent to hell with the Body Dissolving Poison
The remaining fourteen people had shown up in the grand hall, and they were all seated on both sides of the room.
"Green Dragon, what is it that's so important that you've rounded us here at this hour?" a silver-haired man in the first seat on the right asked.
The one called Green Dragon was also an elderly man. He was seated on first seat on the right and was clearly the leader of the fourteen.
"It's the order from this higher authority!"
Green Dragon got up from his seat slowly and said in a grim voice, "White Tiger! Phoenix! Black Tortoise! Ten Guardians! Everyone, listen to me!"
"Yes!"
The thirteen other men stood up swiftly, their faces solemn and their back straight as a die. The air in the grand hall turned somber! No one would dare to ignore the order from the higher authority. On the surface, these people serve the Imperial family, but in reality, Tenshou was their leader!
The higher authority rarely gave out orders, but when they do, it would always be a mammoth task that must be completed at all costs!
Green Dragon focused his eyes on his audience and announced, "Chen Xiaobei is here! The high ups have ordered us to capture him alive within three days and send him to Tenshou Island!"
"Chen Xiaobei? Here? How could that be?" everyone had on a look of complete disbelieve as if they had just been told the story of Arabian Nights!
"The immigration officers were policing twenty-four hours and there was no news about him!"
The other old man who had spoken up earlier was Phoenix. He looked as if he had just seen a ghost.
White Tiger was a well-built elderly man. He spat, "Officials are all a bunch of useless drunks. I wouldn't be surprised if they were deceived! And since the upstairs had already given the orders, it must be true!"
A paunchy old man called Black Tortoise wondered aloud, "Did Chen Xiaobei take the wrong medication? Isn't he setting himself up to be caught by coming to Japan?"
"Whatever reasons it was that he came here, we must get our hands on him within three days!" Green Dragon said, unsmiling.
"Heh, he's just a Chinese kid with early phase of True Nirvana cultivation, why do we need to trouble the four Enigmatic Ninjas?"
A ninja with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana cultivation volunteered and said, "As long as we can locate Chen Xiaobei, I will make a move immediately and bring him back alive!"
"Shut up! I'm not done talking!" Green Dragon snapped. "A while ago, we sent Tamaka Tsuyoshi to China to capture Chen Xiaobei but we had lost all contact with him! And yesterday, Chen Xiaobei killed Nikkawa Dachi! Do you still want to catch Chen Xiaobei yourself?"
"I... I dare not..." the ninja gulped, unnerved by what he was told. "I acted rashly and. Master Green Dragon, please give us your wise order!"
Old man Green Dragon narrowed his eyes and said, "For now, we are still unable to confirm Chen Xiaobei's cultivation but what we are sure of is that he is capable of killing a ninja with pinnacle phase of True Nirvana cultivation! That's why the four of us will need to take him down together!"
Phoenix asked, "Does that mean that we have Chen Xiaobei's location?"
"Yes!" Green Dragon nodded.
"Chen Xiaobei is in the Imperial Household Agency hospital! He's passing himself off as Nikkawa Daichi! His intention is still unclear!"
"That's strange..." Black Tortoise squinted and asked, "No one knew about Chen Xiaobei and this information had not been disclosed. How did the higher ups find out about it?"
"We were not told but that is not the question we should be asking!" Green Dragon admonished.
White Tiger asked, "Why wasn't the emperor informed of this? He could capture Chen Xiaobei singlehandedly!"
Phoenix nodded in agreement. "Yeah! Chen Xiaobei is wanted by the military! If we let the emperor take care of it, then we would save ourselves a lot of trouble!"
"Chen Xiaobei is just a chip to the military to be traded off for the Chinese Professor Lin's research!" then Green Dragon changed his tune and said, "But this kid bears more important secrets than those researches! The higher ups want to find out what about them before they turn him over to the military!"
"If the emperor gets his hands on him then I'm afraid that we may never discover Chen Xiaobei's secrets!" Green Dragon continued, "We must always remember that our Master Phantom Rain is our boss, not the emperor! We must keep this information from the emperor and his officials!"
"Understood!"
The others agreed.
"That's it then! Every one of you should go get ready! We'll make a move once Chen Xiaobei leaves the hospital!"
Green Dragon gave the final verdict and the rest dispersed.
...
Imperial Household Agency hospital
Chen Xiaobei was completely unaware that his identity and his whereabouts had been found out and a terrifying storm was stirring.
"It looks like the best way to do it is to use Deity Constricting Rope on Nikkawa Uchu!"
Chen Xiaobei mused for a long time before coming up with this solution but he was a little uncertain.
"There are 4,050 Spiritual Stones worth of Spiritual Qi in the Green Jade Gourd. One-time use of the Deity Constricting Rope will consume 1,000 Spiritual Stones. That's just too big an amount..." Chen Xiaobei sighed deeply. "And my real enemies are still after me. Tenshou and Divine Sovereign Sect are two giants that I can't circumvent. We will eventually go to war so I cannot use up too much Spiritual Qi!"
Ring!
His phone suddenly rang.
