The cultivating White Crane suddenly opened his eyes, a flash of brilliance in his aged eyes. A white glow erupted from his body, and an invisible wave of inner power spread out, causing the green grass to bend with the wind.

A short moment later, the white glow around White Crane retracted into his body, and the invisible wave dissipated as well.

"Haha, I've made a breakthrough!"

White Crane exclaimed excitedly, his aged face full of joy.

Ever since following Qin Yang, his cultivation path had been smooth sailing. Later, he became the Punishment Elder of Celestial Sword Pavilion. Now Qin Yang had sent him to lead the elite disciples of the Celestial Sword Pavilion to guard this Osmanthus Forest.

It must be said, this place is truly a blessed land of Spiritual Treasure. After coming here, White Crane's cultivation speed increased significantly. A month ago, he had already broken through to the peak of the Middle Stage Profound Tier, and today he stepped into the Late Stage Profound Tier. Becoming an Earth Tier expert is within reach.

"Congratulations, Punishment Elder, for advancing to the Late Stage Profound Tier."

At this moment, the twenty-eight disciples in white also opened their eyes, their faces also showing joy. They stood up and congratulated in unison.

"Good, good."

White Crane's aged face was flushed with excitement. The next moment, his brows furrowed, and a fierce glint flashed in his eyes as he shouted sternly.

"Who dares to intrude upon the forbidden territory of Feipu Manor!"

White Crane's gaze was sharp, surveying the open grassy field, with no cover around. In the diagonal above him, there were three figures rapidly heading toward the Osmanthus Forest.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

White Crane, leading the twenty-eight disciples of Celestial Sword Pavilion, hurried over to block the path of Asakawa Kaori and her companions.

"Miss, we've been discovered."

Kikuchi Yumi frowned and said.

"Hmm, however, with so many people standing guard, it strongly suggests that this place is where the secret of the array lies."

Asakawa Kaori stopped and a gleam of brilliance crossed her eyes, and she spoke.

"Three women from Japan?"

White Crane was slightly taken aback, standing several meters in front of Asakawa Kaori and her companions. The ones standing before him were indeed three women from Japan, dressed in kimono.

Ancient Martial Artists of Huaxia have always held themselves in high regard and looked down upon the Japanese, hence referring to Japan as Wa Country.

"This is the forbidden territory of Feipu Manor, leave at once."

White Crane gathered his inner power and shouted sternly.

Today is the grand opening day, never expected that someone would dare to intrude upon the forbidden territory of Feipu Manor, and they are three women from Japan indeed.

"Miss, these people are Huaxia Ancient Martial Artists, although their levels are not high, what should we do?"

Kikuchi Yumi asked.

"Knock them out; the secret of the array is ours to obtain."

Asakawa Kaori thought for a moment and said sternly.

"Hai!"

Kikuchi Yumi nodded, her figure flashed into a blur, moving swiftly and charged towards White Crane.

"Dare you intrude upon our manor's forbidden grounds, taste my finger force!"

White Crane shouted in anger, his gaze as sharp as an eagle, his fingers flicked repeatedly, shooting out several fierce finger forces.

However, the fierce finger forces were easily dodged by Kikuchi Yumi, leaving deep pits in the grass as they landed.

White Crane's expression changed; this Japanese woman's speed rivaled that of an Earth Tier expert.

Swish swish swish!

Kikuchi Yumi's hand seals changed during her movement.

"Ninja Technique, Great Fireball Skill!"

Kikuchi Yumi let out a cold shout, placing both hands on her mouth, spitting out a mass of fiery flame, which transformed into a great fireball, roaring towards White Crane.

"This woman is an Upper Ninja from Japan."

White Crane's face was somewhat grim. He urgently tapped his toes on the ground, retreating rapidly. Simultaneously, inner power surged to his palms as he struck them towards the great fireball.

Bang!

The great fireball was scattered by the inner power, and White Crane's figure was sent flying back, sliding several meters on the ground before he barely stopped.

"Cough cough..."

There were streaks of blackened hair on White Crane's head, and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, clearly having suffered some internal injuries.

"Punishment Elder?"

The Celestial Sword Pavilion disciples following White Crane all changed their expressions.

"I am fine, Celestial Sword Pavilion disciples, quickly deploy the Celestial Spirit Sword Array."

White Crane steadied his breath and shouted sternly. This Japanese woman's power was formidable, but she was not the most dangerous. The short-haired woman gave him the most intense sense of danger.

"Yes!"

The twenty-eight Celestial Sword Pavilion disciples shouted in unison, forming a sword circle that surrounded Asakawa Kaori and her companions, their Treasure Swords, under the boost of inner power, flashing with an astonishing cold glint.

"Flying Sword Cross!"

White Crane shouted loudly.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

In mid-air, the Treasure Swords danced, each with a crafty trajectory, attacking Asakawa Kaori and her companions fiercely.

"Water Escape, Wall of Water."

Suzuki Baihui glanced at the incoming Treasure Swords, her hand seals altered, and four walls of water emerged, enclosing Suzuki Baihui and her companions.

Bang bang bang!

All the flying swords collided with the Wall of Water, causing it to cave in slightly.

"Water Wall Bounce."

A cold glint flashed in Suzuki Baihui's eyes, her hand seals changed.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

The Treasure Swords, originally shooting forward, all flew backward with ferocity, striking the chests of the twenty-eight Celestial Sword Pavilion disciples.

Puh~!

All the disciples spat out a mouthful of blood in unison, retreating several steps, their faces pale.

"Suzuki, let's finish this quickly," Asakawa Kaori said.

Suzuki Baihui nodded. She had not given consideration to these low-level Ancient Martial Artists. Immediately, she formed a dazzling array of hand seals.

"Water Escape, Water Cage."

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

On the grass, twenty-nine blue water cages emerged, enveloping White Crane and the twenty-eight Celestial Sword Pavilion disciples within.

"A Human-level Ninja expert."

White Crane's face changed drastically. To trap so many people at once, only a Human-level Ninja expert could achieve this.

Among these three Japanese women, one is an Upper Ninja, comparable in strength to an Earth Tier expert, and one is a Human-level Ninja, not inferior to a Celestial Tier expert. Unexpectedly, just on the hotel's opening day, such a tricky situation arose.

The Water Cage quickly compressed inward, with the internal pressure soaring, White Crane's head began to feel dizzy, his gaze swept to the other disciples within the Water Cages, who had already passed out.

White Crane bit his tongue, clearing his mind somewhat. A translucent Spirit Jade slipped from his sleeve, bright runes shimmering on the jade.

"Crack."

White Crane exerted force with his fingers, crushing the Jade Talisman.

However, the next moment, as the Water Prison compressed inward, White Crane also fell unconscious.

"Miss, it's done."

Suzuki Baihui's hand seals changed, and the Water Prison vanished, leaving twenty-nine unconscious figures on the ground.

"Let's go."

Asakawa Kaori glanced at White Crane and the others on the ground, and the three of them flashed into the Osmanthus Forest.

Feipu Grand Hotel.

"Boss, guess how much today's total deposit is?"

Li Xinyan came over excitedly holding a ledger.

"How much?"

Qin Yang smiled and asked, seeing Li Xinyan's delighted expression, the amount must be substantial.

"A total of 18.565 billion. All the over eight hundred invited guests have become members, even Secretary Zhao and Mayor Su have joined as ordinary members."

Li Xinyan's face was full of barely concealed joy.
