Although Qin Fang was very interested in the Demon Blade in Hattori Kuusei's hands, he did not intend to take a closer look at it.
From a distance, Hattori Kuusei, whose strength was only at the early stage of the Grand Master level, seemed to have become a lot more evil after holding the Demon Blade. His strength seemed to have soared a lot in an instant.
Kawada Musashi's strength was definitely at the top of the Grand Master level. He was not much worse than a Grand Master at the late stage.
But at this moment, facing Hattori Kuusei, who held the Demon Blade, not only did he not have an easy time, but he was also suppressed by Hattori Kuusei.
If it wasn't for his profound cultivation, he would've already died under this demonic blade ….
Even so, Kawada Musashi was only struggling.
"Maybe this is really the legendary Demon Blade …"
With just this Demon Blade, Hattori Kuusei's strength had increased by nearly two levels. It was obviously not very convincing to say that this Demon Blade was just an ordinary magical weapon.
Perhaps, this saber was the legendary demonic saber. Perhaps this explanation would be more reasonable ….
As for Hattori Kuusei, he knew the legend of this Demon Blade. He knew that the owner of this Demon Blade had never met a good end, but he still insisted on using this Demon Blade.
The scene had turned into a chaotic battlefield. There were more Iga Ryu experts, but the Musashi Ryu experts had also completely erupted. This battle narrowed the gap between the two sides, and the number of casualties was also increasing ….
However, overall, the Musashi Ryu people suffered more casualties. After all, their strength level was generally low, so it was not surprising that there were more casualties.
Kawada Musashi also saw this, but he was powerless. He thought that it would be easy to capture Hattori Kuusei, but he did not expect that this bone was much more difficult to chew than he thought.
Now, he was like a clay Buddha crossing a river. He could not even protect himself, let alone the lives of the other Musashi Ryu disciples.
"Do you want to go and help?"
Seeing that most of the Musashi Ryu players had been killed by the Iga-ryu players, Qin Fang wondered if he should go over and help. As long as he secretly killed some Iga-ryu players, the two sides could be pulled to the same level.
With his strength, other than a few Iga-ryu masters and above, it would be difficult for the other disciples to stop him.
"Forget it, it's better to be careful …"
However, after thinking about it, Qin Fang still didn't dare to make a move. After all, the people of Musashi Ryu had suffered heavy casualties. He hadn't seen any troublesome characters before. If he suddenly popped out, something bad might happen.
He was not afraid of being surrounded by Iga-ryu masters. He was mainly afraid that Kawada Musashi would recognize him. After all, as the Lord of Musashi Sect, he did not dare to say that he knew all the masters in Musashi Sect, but he knew a general idea. There was definitely no such person as Qin Fang.
With such a simple association, it was easy for him to realize that he had been tricked.
Moreover, the reason why Qin Fang didn't want to make a move was because of another more important concern. This was the real reason why he didn't make a move.
"Hey, they really came …"
At this time, Qin Fang had already felt some abnormalities. He muttered silently in his heart and quickly withdrew from here.
There was no way. The Iga-ryu master was coming over. Qin Fang didn't want to be targeted by such a strong person.
Although he had the ability to kill Miyamoto Musashi, who was stronger than this old man, it was because Miyamoto Musashi underestimated the enemy, so the sneak attack succeeded.
Now that Qin Fang was unprepared, and the other party was so vigilant, it wouldn't be so easy to succeed. Qin Fang didn't dare to take such a risk.
It was also because of this old man at the peak of the Grand Master level. From the beginning of this matter, until now, he had never shown up. This made Qin Fang not dare to act rashly.
If Qin Fang jumped out to make trouble, and this old man suddenly appeared to kill him, then the situation would be quite bad.
Now that the old man finally came, Qin Fang chose to escape at the first time. The farther away from him, the better. This old man's perception was too powerful. He had already scared Qin Fang once before.
What's more …
"The masters have all come out. That treasure house … is mine!"
Qin Fang did so many things, not only for revenge or to provoke disputes, but also for the Musashi Ryu's treasure house.
The Musashi Ryu's treasure house, of course, couldn't be under the mountain, but in the most important place of the Musashi Ryu … the residence of the sect master.
Originally, it was Miyamoto Musashi's residence. With Miyamoto Musashi's personal overbearingness, no one else could touch it.
However, when Miyamoto Musashi died, Kawada Musashi succeeded in seizing the position, and the treasure house naturally fell into his hands.
But the arrival of Hattori Kousei's group directly occupied Kawada Musashi's territory. They may not know where the treasure house was, but Kawada Musashi had no way to open the treasure house even if he had the key.
This was also why Qin Fang said that the key was Hattori Kousei's, because the treasure house was with Hattori Kousei. As long as he had the key, he could open the treasure house.
This already made Kawada Musashi feel deep anger. This treasury was the accumulation of the Musashi Clan for hundreds of years. It was not easy for him to get his hands on it. Before he could even warm it up, it might be taken away by the Iga-ryu. How could he accept it so easily?
In addition, many of the Musashi Ryu's disciples were killed, and even his only son, Kawada Masato, did not escape. This made him even angrier, which was why things had turned out this way.
Of course, all of this was directed by Qin Fang. Although the development of the matter deviated a little from Qin Fang's previous plan, there was not much change in the general direction.
Now, the old man at the peak of the Grand Master level who stayed in the abode of the Sect Master had also come out, so there were not too many masters left.
Qin Fang quickly disappeared from here and rushed in the direction of the treasure house.
Once the old man came out, the battle here would soon be over. Whether he killed all the Musashi Ryu's people or held Kawada Musashi down to negotiate, this would not leave Qin Fang much time. So, Qin Fang must complete the action plan as soon as possible.
"Sure enough, there is no one here."
When Qin Fang arrived, the whole building complex was empty, and there was not even a shadow. This made Qin Fang feel a lot more relaxed.
Hattori Jiusei and the old man at the peak of the Grand Master level were quite high in the Iga-ryu, so naturally, they had high standards for living conditions.
Plus, they were strong themselves, so they were not afraid of any enemies lurking in, so there were not many people guarding here.
Originally, the Black Soldiers might have stayed here, but they were sent by Hattori Jiusei to hunt down Qin Fang and the others. Then, they were all killed by Qin Fang, so naturally, they would not appear here again.
The rest of the Iga-ryu disciples, or the elders of the Grand Master level, all lived in the lower areas, which made this place very quiet.
Now that Hattori Jiusei and the old man had left, Qin Fang had a lot more freedom.
"There is not much time, let's end this quickly."
Although Qin Fang wanted to do something to Hattori Kyuusei, such as poisoning him in his room, he didn't have enough time and he couldn't waste it. So he gave up the idea and went straight to the Treasure Vault.
Of course, a genius like Hattori Jiusei, who could reach his current position, was definitely not a simple person.
Even if Qin Fang poisoned Hattori Jiusei, he might not necessarily fall for it. In fact, Qin Fang instinctively felt that the possibility of Hattori Jiusei being poisoned was very low.
There was no one in the building, so naturally, there was no one in the Treasure House. Qin Fang thought that Hattori Jiusei and the others might not know the location of the Treasure House.
This was a group of artificial mountains. There were all kinds of rugged rocks. Some of them were naturally formed, while others were processed. Flowing water gurgled above the artificial mountains, and below it was a small pool …
This was not the bottomless pool where Qin Fang killed Miyamoto Musashi, but a man-made one.
The Musashi Ryu's Treasure House was hidden in this rockery, and the entrance … was under this inconspicuous pool.
Qin Fang was very straightforward, and directly jumped into the pool. Then, at a corner of the pool, Qin Fang quietly snuck in. Not long after, he entered the interior of the rockery through this very hidden waterway.
"Tsk tsk, ordinary people might not be able to find this waterway."
Although it was Qin Fang's first time here, he had to admire the ability of the Musashi Ryu ancestors who built this Treasure House.
The waterway was naturally formed, and people who did not know would think that it was an underground river. However, after some processing by the masters of the Musashi Ryu, this natural waterway became a very good hidden route.
"Where is the door?
The keyhole … "
After finding the specific location of the Treasure House, Qin Fang immediately seized the time to look for the location of the keyhole. As for other people who might have to worry about traps, Qin Fang did not care at all.
Not to mention his powerful detection skill, he was a grandmaster level array master. He could even find flaws in the island protection array, so how could he not be able to deal with a small trap?
If he really suffered a loss here, then he might as well just kill himself ….
The location of the keyhole was relatively hidden, and it seemed to have nothing to do with the door. However, under the detection of Qin Fang's detection skill, there was still nowhere to hide.
After finding the keyhole, Qin Fang inserted the key and then quickly twisted it open. There was a creaking sound in his ears, and the huge stone door also faintly opened a gap.
At the same time, the interior of the treasure vault was automatically lit up by flames, completely illuminating the interior.
This was a corridor, but it was also a corridor full of danger and murderous intent.
But Qin Fang just took a simple glance, then rushed over at the fastest speed. There was not even a little ripple, and he passed through smoothly.
If it weren't for the faint water stains on the ground proving that he did step over it, he would have thought that he flew directly.
After passing through this murderous corridor, the road behind was much smoother. Although there was a simple maze-like array set up inside, in Qin Fang's eyes, it was almost the same as nothing. In less than a minute, he had passed through this array and officially stepped into the Musashi Sect's Treasure House.
"Hiss ~ ~ ~"
Seeing the Treasure House in front of him, Qin Fang couldn't help but take a breath.
"Damn, so poor …"
Originally, Qin Fang knew that the Musashi Sect's Treasure House might not be so awesome. After all, the Musashi Sect was not strong, and it had not existed for long. It was not surprising that they could not get good things.
But when he really walked in, Qin Fang still couldn't help but curse.
Although it was called a treasure trove, it was, at most, a relatively large stone room. It was empty inside, but there were some relatively precious "treasures" stored inside.
In fact, many of these treasures were priceless …
But that was relative to ordinary people. For example, there were a few famous paintings and paintings from Long Province, porcelain, jade, and so on. There were also a few swords that were slightly inferior to the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword …
In addition, there was not a single one of the most precious martial arts manuals, elixirs, or elixir recipes of the martial arts sects.
Even these few swords might have been stored for too long, and they were a bit rusty. It was still unknown whether they could be used or not.
"Is there only this much junk?"
Although Qin Fang was very dissatisfied with the things in the Treasure House, Qin Fang did not intend to be polite with the Musashi Sect. He directly waved his hand and packed all the things here into the prop box …
At least, many of those antiques and cultural relics were priceless. Although Qin Fang was not short of money, many of them came from Long Province. Qin Fang brought them back to Long Province, which could be considered a great deed.
However, after packing up these things, Qin Fang frowned. He felt that he seemed to have missed something.
"If there is only this much junk in the Treasure House, why would Kawada Musashi fall out with me like this?"
Qin Fang thought carefully and found that he seemed to have overlooked such an important point.
Although these things were valuable, it was not enough to make Kawada Musashi fall out with Qin Fang. Just the favor of Qin Fang killing Miyamoto Musashi for him was far more than the value of one or two cultural relics could compare to …
However, not only did Kawada Musashi fall out with him, but he even tried his best to kill Qin Fang. Of course, it was to cover up the truth, but the reason was too far-fetched.
"Unless …"
Thinking of this, Qin Fang's eyes suddenly became sharp. He immediately searched the stone room carefully.
"There must be something that I overlooked …"
He was almost certain that this Treasure House was definitely not so simple because it … was too clean!
Although the Musashi Sect had not been established for a long time, and its strength was not particularly strong, the ancestors of the Musashi Sect occupied such a blessed place and deliberately built such a hidden Treasure House. It was definitely not just for these cultural relics.
What's more, decades ago, when Fusang invaded Long Province, a large number of martial arts masters accompanied them. They destroyed many martial arts sects with the army and took away countless treasures.
According to Qin Fang's knowledge, the Musashi Sect also sent a lot of people to accompany them. Some people even rumored that the reason why Miyamoto Musashi could reach such a level was that he got a very precious treasure from Long Province in his early years …
Of course, this was definitely nonsense.
Although Miyamoto Musashi was not young, he was just a child during that war. He was not qualified to go to Long Province.
However, Miyamoto Musashi's father was also a very powerful elder-level figure in the Musashi Sect. It was unknown whether he brought back anything from Long Province.
What's more, for so many years, Miyamoto Musashi's strength was very strong, and his status in the Taoist Sect was quite high. He was even appointed to a very powerful position, but Miyamoto Musashi refused, and just stayed in his own land.
Some people thought that he was keeping a low profile, some people thought that he did not want to offend the Six Great Deacons of the Dao Shen Sect, but more people thought that Miyamoto Musashi had other purposes …
"Is there really a secret hidden in this Treasure House?"
First, the ancestors of the Musashi Sect built this Treasure House. Then, Miyamoto Musashi stayed here for many years. Kawada Musashi did not hesitate to completely fall out with Qin Fang for it … If someone said that there were no real rare and precious treasures in it, Qin Fang would never believe it!
"Wait, there really is a problem here …"
Feeling that there was a problem here, Qin Fang began to search carefully. His detection skill was also fully activated, and he almost didn't miss a single corner.
Indeed, as the saying goes, 'Hard work pays off', it really made Qin Fang feel a little abnormal … To be exact, Qin Fang found another keyhole!
"There is another key …"
When Qin Fang inserted the key that opened the Treasure House door before, he was surprised to find that the key was stuck and could not be inserted.
In other words, the key in his hand didn't match the keyhole at all … Then it was obvious that there should be another key to open the real treasure vault.
But the problem was …
"Where is this key?"
This was a very troublesome problem. The reason why Qin Fang could take the key from Kawada Musashi was that he got the news from Domoto.
But it was obvious that Domoto absolutely did not know that there was a keyhole here … So, how could this door be opened?
