Chapter 252 Infiltration
"Heh heh... isn't it just finding an excuse to detoxify Lingtian? However, I admire you, Xia Liu!"
The one driving, Muzi, couldn't help but let his imagination wander upon hearing the conversation between the two.
"Muzi, how much do you know about the Yagy? Family?" With his thoughts settled, Xia Liu immediately asked Muzi.
"The Yagy? Family is one of the top Ninja Clans in the Island Nation, with countless ninjas, most of whom are working for the Island Nation," Muzi responded without hesitation.
Muzi hadn't thought about it; during the months he spent hidden in the Island Nation, what he heard about most was the Yagy? Family.
After all, there are very few ninja families working for the Island Nation—only two.
Apart from the Yagy? Family, there was also the Yamamoto Family.
However, the Yamamoto Family mainly focuses on offense, while the Yagy? specializes in defense and assassination.
"Where is the Yagy? Family located?"

"Hm? Shouldn't you first learn about the Yagy? Family's strength?" Muzi said awkwardly.
"No need. Before the toxins in Lingtian erupt, I must quickly retrieve the antidote, otherwise his cultivation could be ruined," Xia Liu said.
"Xia Liu, you..."
Ouyang Lingtian felt moved. Xia Liu had just expended so much.
Yet now he wants to retrieve the antidote as soon as possible for his own cultivation.
Could he really be invincible?
"You don't have to worry about me. It's good for you to owe me a favor, so you wouldn't have the face to bother Sister Fang anymore and could dedicate yourself fully to the Spearhead Troop," Xia Liu said.
"Pfft!"
This time, Ouyang Lingtian didn't spit blood.
He and Muzi were both stunned. So that was his reason.
"By the way, what was that golden object you pulled out from your body just now?" Suddenly, Ouyang Lingtian recalled what he saw and immediately asked.
"You mean this? Here, keep it for me," Xia Liu said, taking the object out of his pocket.
"This is?"
Ouyang Lingtian's scalp tingled, seeing the object up close, he was utterly clueless.
Its surface was golden, about the size of a thumb, the base was fully rounded and flat, but it tapered down towards the bottom to a sharp point.
"It's called a Spirit Stabilizing Needle."
"Spirit Stabilizing Needle! The legendary magic artifact used to seal the meridians of a martial artist?"
Ouyang Lingtian began to tremble upon hearing these three words.
He had read about it in a certain tome. A magic artifact is the collective name for the weapons or armor used by martial artists.
They could be swords, spears, bows, or whips, extraordinarily varied; with any magic artifact, a martial artist could imbue it with Inner Qi and significantly enhance their war power in battle.
But this Spirit Stabilizing Needle was legendary because its primary function wasn't for combat, but for sealing!
Naturally, what it sealed was a martial artist's Inner Strength.
That meant Xia Liu's Inner Strength had always been sealed!
Boom!
Upon this discovery, Ouyang Lingtian was completely flustered.
So, up until now, Xia Liu's strength had always been suppressed.
Then, wouldn't his strength reach the Earth-Rank Level if he released the seal?
Right! It had to be Earth Rank, otherwise, how could he shatter a heavy tank with one palm?
"Why do you have a Spirit Stabilizing Needle inside you? With your Earth Rank strength, there can't be many who could be your match."
"I got bored and inserted it myself to seal it," Xia Liu said, touching his head and smiling.
"You inserted it yourself!" Ouyang Lingtian was stunned. Could this guy have a masochistic inclination?
No, it couldn't be that simple!
But he couldn't name anyone else who could suppress an Earth-Rank Warrior. There were only a few in Huaxia, and even fewer abroad.
"Keep this for me. I'll need to seal it later," Xia Liu didn't want to explain too much.
"Alright, can you tell me how far your cultivation has progressed?"
"Mysterious Rank."
...
"What if you pull out the Spirit Stabilizing Needle?"
"I should be at Earth Rank, but I'm not sure," he answered vaguely.
Xia Liu could only give a vague response, after all, there were still two Spirit Stabilizing Needles in his body. If all were removed, perhaps he could match a Heaven-Rank Warrior, or even surpass that...
"So you are an Earth-Rank Warrior!" Receiving this news, Ouyang Lingtian couldn't help but tremble.
He finally understood just how great the gap between them was.
"Let's not talk about that now. Muzi, take me to the Yagy? Family's manor gate, and I'll go directly to get the antidote."
Taking advantage of the chaos in the Island Nation, he thought it should be quite easy to obtain the antidote.
"Lingtian, this..."
Muzi hesitated to go immediately, not being very familiar with martial artists, so she had to ask for Ouyang Lingtian's opinion.
"You've just spent a lot of energy. If you go to the Yagy? Family, how sure are you that you can withdraw safely?"
Ouyang Lingtian wasn't certain either. If Xia Liu were to risk his life to save him, even his own death wouldn't compensate for the mistake.
"Visiting the Yagy? Family is as easy as eating or drinking. Why worry about surety?" Xia Liu said casually.
...
Ouyang Lingtian and Muzi exchanged glances, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.
Following that, Ouyang Lingtian nodded, and Muzi immediately turned to head toward the Yagy? Family.
The Yagy? Family was located in the northeast corner of Sakura City by the sea, a place of beautiful scenery.
As the night wind blew, a figure stood mightily on top of a city wall.
Looking around, there were low-rise buildings stretching to the seashore, where a tower of over ten stories was constructed.
"According to what Muzi said, that tower is where ninjas cultivate. Perhaps the antidote for the Cherry Blossom Poison is hidden there," Xia Liu murmured to himself as he leaped off the city wall.
At that moment, dressed in a night suit similar to that of the ninjas he had killed in the building, his face was hidden, only revealing a pair of eyes gleaming with keen energy.
Without the Island Nation ninja's Invisibility Technique, Xia Liu could only sneak quietly through the estate.
He saw many ninjas within the estate.
Moreover, they all stood solemnly performing their techniques, invisible to ordinary people.
Luckily, with spiritual energy enhancing his vision, Xia Liu could easily see through these ninjas' camouflaging techniques.
Otherwise, this visit might have turned into a massacre.
Soon, he reached the vicinity of the tower.
However, upon close inspection, the tower seemed to be a closed structure.
This was confusing; if it was sealed, how could Muzi say that the Yagy? Family's ninjas were cultivating inside?
Since ninjas employing the Invisibility Technique surrounded the tower, Xia Liu didn't rashly approach.
He looked around; most of the internal structures were courtyards, so he decided to enter one to inquire further.
Once he chose a courtyard, Xia Liu stealthily snuck inside.
Upon landing, he detected a faint scent.
"Hmm? It smells like medicine. Could this be where the Yagy? Family produces medicines?"
The more he thought about it, the more excited Xia Liu became, quickly following the scent to its source.
But after passing through two wooden houses, while he did find the source of the scent, it turned out to be an open-air hot spring bath!
And in the steaming waters of the hot spring, there was a beautiful figure...
