Early this morning, in order to thank his master for the care he had received, Tanaka Koyuu personally prepared a meal. Afterward, he went to the room to invite Senju Yukika to join him for breakfast.
Seeing his disciple treat him with such respect and filial piety, Senju Yukika felt a bit moved in his heart. Regardless of whether Tanaka's actions were truly from the heart, these gestures brought a sense of warmth to his soul.
Shangguan also remained by his side, not speaking for a long while. He had no doubts or concerns about Senju Yukika's promise.
He had already made up his mind the night before: to survive on this planet, where the strong prey on the weak, he must continually improve his cultivation! Strong warriors like the one before him were rare and could not be encountered on demand. They were a blessing to come across.
"I must seize this opportunity and learn as much as I can from him. In the future, that will become my own strength!"
So, before Senju Yukika spoke, Shangguan decided to remain silent, not wishing to offend him. Who knew if such a powerful being might have an eccentric temper?
"If I provoke his reverse scales, that would be disastrous," Shangguan thought.
Looking at Tanaka, who was eating with his head down, Senju Yukika felt a sense of satisfaction. It seemed as if Tanaka had grown a lot overnight. He was pleased with his decision to take Tanaka as his disciple. There was a reason behind it.
Through his spiritual pressure, he had sensed a trace of magical energy within Tanaka. This did not necessarily mean that the boy had practiced Buddhism, but rather that he might have some connection to it. Though the feeling was fleeting and hard to pin down, Senju Yukika trusted his cultivation level and intuition. He believed it was not a random occurrence.
Sometimes, these spiritual senses could be more reliable than reality itself.
At this moment, Senju Yukika's body suddenly trembled, and a strange guess appeared in his mind.
Could it be that the reason the middle-aged woman was so desperate to become the mistress of this household and then went on to harm Tanaka and his mother was because she discovered some secret about Tanaka?
If that were the case, based on the magical energy I sensed within Tanaka, perhaps he was hiding an enormous secret!
Meanwhile, 800 miles away, on the top of a small mountain stood a towering castle several hundred meters tall. This castle was incredibly sharp, resembling high towers—this was the infamous Wolf Fang Tower!
On the ancestral star of the Ootsutsuki Clan, there were many forces like the Wolf Fang Tower. Though the true masters of this planet were the Ootsutsuki Clan, they had not made an effort to unify it, so besides this family, there were many other sect-like forces.
In the country of Raksha, the Golden Light Tower was also one of the top powers. The only other force that shared its name was the Sword Palace.
As the name implied, the Sword Palace was a place where all swordsmen practiced the way of the sword, advocating seclusion and never drawing attention to themselves.
But the Wolf Fang Tower was the complete opposite. The disciples of Wolf Fang Tower were arrogant and domineering, flaunting the grandeur of their sect whenever they went.
Many people in Raksha had grievances against them, but due to their powerful influence, no one dared to speak out!
At this moment, the atmosphere in the Wolf Fang Tower grew tense, even suffused with a heavy, oppressive energy. Several disciples hurried to the top of the tower. On the highest floor, there was a mat where a middle-aged man lay still.
If one looked closely at his eyes, they appeared hollow and empty. This indicated that his cultivation had reached a legendary level, making him one of the strongest on this planet.
"What's all this fuss about? What's this style?" the master of Wolf Fang Tower said, a bit displeased, furrowing his brow.
Since he had made Wolf Fang Tower one of the top powers in Raksha, he rarely made public appearances, choosing instead to stay in seclusion, hoping to break through to the legendary "Leaving the Body" stage.
It was rare for anything to stir his heart.
The disciples kneeling before him were the highest-ranking direct disciples of the Wolf Fang Tower, including even some seniors.
At this moment, the eldest disciple's face turned ashen. After knocking on his head, he quietly spoke: "Master, the little junior sister is dead…"
These words were like a thunderclap, causing an uproar!
The entire Wolf Fang Tower seemed to tremble, with countless disciples wondering if they were hallucinating. After the eldest disciple spoke this news, he dared not say another word, trembling with fear, kneeling on the ground, silent.
The other disciples were the same, not daring to look at the master of the Wolf Fang Tower.
Everyone knew that the junior sister was the only daughter of the master, cherished like a pearl from a young age. However, the master of Wolf Fang Tower had been in seclusion in recent years and had paid little attention to his daughter's affairs.
Who would have thought that she had suddenly died!
Then, the gloomy voice of the Wolf Fang Tower master echoed through the tower top: "Who did this?"
These simple four words seemed calm, but behind the calmness lay the promise of an impending storm!
Everyone knew who the culprit was, and regardless of who they were, they were finished. To kill the daughter of the master of the Golden Light Tower meant they must face severe consequences!
The eldest disciple then regained his composure and said, "This morning, I noticed the little junior sister's life lamp had gone out, so I sent people to inquire. They found out she had died in Stone City."
The Wolf Fang Tower master's eyes narrowed slightly, his whole body cloaked in darkness, like a lone wolf preparing to unleash its wrath. He was ready to devour those who dared to offend him at any moment.
At the same time, a dark whirlwind appeared at the top of the Wolf Fang Tower. Amidst this storm, the master's frail figure floated up, then transformed into a streak of light and shot off toward the distance.
At that moment, the Wolf Fang Tower shook violently!
Everyone now knew that the long-secluded master of the Wolf Fang Tower had finally emerged. After some inquiry, the disciples learned that the master had come out of seclusion because his beloved daughter had been killed.
Who could have done such a thing? How dare they! Now, they would just have to wait for the judgment of death!
