Chapter 974: Unreasonable

-air, instantly pulling away by dozens of meters.The giant swatted empty, then turned his head and stared fixedly at Fang Yu.Fang Yu stood on a protruding rock behind, looking at the giant whose whole...Matsuo stared at Fang Yu, his voice booming, "The Shinto priest of the Hashiki family, Hashiki Kenzan, was arrested by you people in Kita without reason! The very night he was released, the Hashiki family was slaughtered!"

"If this matter has nothing to do with you, I, Matsuba Taheiji, will commit seppuku!"

"You people from the Eastern Island are always threatening to commit seppuku, it's quite disgraceful," Fang Yu said.

"No matter what, your Beidu Martial Arts Association is the most suspect. That's undeniable," Utatakawa said, his eyes narrowed, a dangerous gleam in them as he looked at Fang Yu.

"Where does our suspicion come from Just because we apprehended Hagiwara and then released him" Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and retorted, "Then you should check everyone Hagiwara interacted with that day, including all those on the cruise ship. They have equal suspicion."

"Damn it! You can talk all you want, but today you have to explain what happened. Otherwise, don't even think about leaving!" Matsuo roared angrily.

Matsuo's voice was quite loud, attracting the attention of many people around him.

"What happened"

"I heard that the Beidu Martial Arts Association sent people over, the two people standing beside Saito."

“What They dare to send people here”

A buzz of conversation filled the air.

"You can speak a little softer, there's no need to get so worked up." Fang Yu said.

At this moment, Matsuo's brain was throbbing, his eyes bloodshot.

He looked at Fang Yu with eyes like those of a man looking upon his father's killer.

This left Fang Yu feeling very puzzled.

Before he came, he still thought the situation on Dongri Island was exaggerated.

While some might suspect the Bei Du Martial Arts Association, it wouldn't be many.

But now, it seems the situation is not as expected.

The present-day Matsuda and Ueda, it seems, have already concluded that the Hokuto Martial Arts Association is the culprit.

This doesn't make sense.

With a little thought, it's clear that the Beidu Martial Arts Association is highly unlikely to be involved.

There was no motive at all.

What are the benefits for the Kitadō Martial Arts Association of wiping out the Hachiki and Kamimura clans

They are just two families from the Eastern Sun Islands. They usually mind their own business and don't interfere with each other. Why bother expending so much effort to cross the ocean and come to the Eastern Sun Islands to exterminate them

Even if we entertain the idea that the Beidu Martial Arts Association was truly behind this, they wouldn't send people to Dongri Island.

No need to put on a show.

Because, even if they had plenty of suspicions on the East Island, even with concrete evidence proving it was the Northern Capital Martial Arts Association… as long as the Northern Capital Martial Arts Association denied it, there was nothing they could do!

Who dares to cause trouble in the capital

In the summer, let alone other regions, the martial arts world of Beidu alone is enough to crush that of Eastern Japan.

The difference between them is so vast, it's like comparing heaven and earth.

The scale is simply not comparable.

Warriors of every level are completely inferior to those on the Eastern Islands.

Not to mention, just the figure of Huixu from the Beidu Martial Arts Association is enough to make the entire Dongri Island tremble in fear.

To sum up, just a little thought will tell you that the Beidu Martial Arts Association has no suspicion.

But the people in front of me, Matsumoto and Utada…

"I want to know, do you have any evidence" Fang Yu asked calmly.

"Hagiya Satoshi was arrested in Kita, this is the evidence!" said Matsuo Ta.

"Is this considered ironclad proof" Fang Yu laughed and said, "Why should we destroy the Hakki family and the Kamimura family"

Matsuo looked at Ueda Kakeru and then turned back, saying, "You have a personal grudge against Hashimoto Akihiro!"

"Since it's a private grudge, why the annihilation of the entire clan Even if you were to annihilate a clan, it should only be the Hiki family. Why did you also destroy the Kaminarimon clan" Fang Yu asked.

"You, the Beidu Martial Arts Association, fear our Big Snake Family and deliberately sent people out to kill…" Matsuo continued to roar.

"Since we can easily destroy both of your families, why would we fear you" Fang Yu shook his head with a smile and said.

In his eyes, this Matsuo had already gone mad.

The speech is incoherent and lacks any logic.

Talking to him, Fang Yu felt his intelligence was insulted.

"We can go now." Fang Yu said to Zheng Ze beside him.

"You dare to leave!" Matsuo roared.

Fang Yu turned his head to look at Matsui Tai, his brows furrowed.

"Mr. Matsuo, Lord Fang is a distinguished guest of our Ten忍 Organization. You cannot treat him like this..." Saitouichi looked at Matsuo and said.

"Shut your mouth! You bastard, you're so respectful to an outsider but ignore us islanders! You're a traitor who fawn over foreigners!" Matsuo roared angrily.

This statement was quite insulting, and Ittō Saitō's face darkened.

"Mr. Matsuo, I respect the Matsuo family and understand your feelings right now," Saito said in a grave voice. "But if you insult our Tenin organization like this, I cannot accept it."

"I'll only insult you, alone! Don't try to pin the blame on me." Matsui said with a cold smile.

SaIto's face turned ashen, clearly furious to the point of rage.

"What's wrong"

Just at this moment, another voice came from beside him.

Upon seeing this, everyone turned their heads to look. They saw a white-robed elder walking towards them.

On seeing this person, the faces of those around him all changed.

The royals have arrived!

This is the Imperial Court's Shinto priest, Mokushi Sōyō.

"Mokuza no Saishi."

Saito Kazu, Matsuo Ta, and Udagawa Kakeru all bowed together.

When faced with members of the royal court, they must show due respect; otherwise, they will be marked in matters of etiquette. It may not bring any punishment, but their reputation will be tarnished from then on.

Mokuza Matsuyo smiled and said, “I heard there was an argument here, so I came to take a look. What happened”

"The Northern Capital Martial Arts Association sent people over, and I want to bring them back for questioning!" Matsuo Tai said, "My actions are reasonable, but they were blocked by Saito Ich."

"Do you have any evidence" Mokkashige asked Matsuo, looking at him.

"Without evidence, they just..." said Matsuo.

"Since there's no evidence, of course we can't take him away." Mokisōjō interrupted Matō's words, saying, "Acting like this is no different from a bandit."

Matsuo froze, wanting to retort but too afraid to speak.

He would never dare to argue with Mokuto Shōyō.

"Looks like there's nothing else going on, so we should get going." Fang Yu said.

"Hold on." said Mokuza Shoen.

"What's wrong" Fang Yu looked at Mokusho Shoyo and asked.

"Our royal family has always maintained a good relationship with the Northern Capital Martial Arts Association. With you two traveling so far... I would like to invite you both to attend our royal banquet tonight," said Mokina Matsumaru.

"A banquet What banquet" Fang Yu asked.

"Regular royal banquets are held." Saito Ittō turned to Hoshi and said.

"Well then, it depends on Mr. Zheng's opinion." Fang Yu looked at Zheng Ze.

Zheng Ze looked at Fang Yu's face and replied, "We have to see the situation. If we have free time tonight, we will definitely go."

"Well, then I shall be awaiting the two of you at the banquet this evening." Murasaki no Yume said.

"Let's go."

Fang Yu and Zheng Ze, along with Saito, turned and left.

Matoe Matsuo stared at Fang Yu's retreating figure, a smirk of amusement playing on his lips.

In his view, the two had become their playthings.

Mokuza Matsuyo glanced at Matsubara Taika and Udatagawa Karin, a subtle smile playing on his face before he turned and walked away.

……

In the car.

"Originally, Lord Fujiwara wanted to meet with you both. However, he had an urgent matter yesterday and left. So today, it's not possible for a meeting... When he returns tomorrow, I will arrange for the two of you to meet him." Saito said.

"Okay," Zheng Ze replied.

An hour later, the sedan drove back into the city area.

Saito has already arranged accommodation, which is a standalone two-story villa.

"If either of you have any questions, please let me know at any time." After Saito finished speaking, he left.

Fang Yu and Zheng Ze sat on the sofa in the living room on the first floor, with four attendants standing outside.

"How are you feeling" Fang Yu looked at Zheng Ze and asked.

"How does it feel" Zheng Ze asked, puzzled.

"The situation today," Fang Yu said.

Zheng Ze hesitated for a moment and said, "I feel that the other two snake clans have a deep grudge against us, but the Heavenly Shinobi Organization and the royal family have been very kind to us."

"So, what do you think we should do" Fang Yu asked.

"Well... as the teacher said, ignore all other voices. Attend the royal banquet tonight and return to Beidu tomorrow." Zheng Ze thought for a moment before replying.ld not appear in such a low-level plane." Tianji Daoist narrowed his eyes, the shock in his eyes still lingering.……On the other side, the monk's face was grim, his teeth clenched tight.If anyone is mo...
