A person in Japan, a sword that soars to immortality.

Chapter 116 So what if he's a general?

A week later.

The merchant ship slowly docked, and Taiyi and the others followed the spiral staircase down.

"Waaaaah! I, Rantaro, am finally back alive!"

Swaying and drifting, having been at sea for too long, Rantaro, feeling a bit seasick, decided to stop moving altogether. Taking advantage of the moment to adjust, he knelt down, raised his arms, and shouted.

"Rantaro, please observe the etiquette of a samurai and refrain from shouting in public."

A majestic voice rang out, and Taiichi and the others looked in the direction of the voice and found that it was Matsudaira Aoki, as well as Mizuno Tadakuni and others.

Taiyi wasn't surprised to see the other party there.

Because Ah-Xia had consulted him before delivering the message.

Of course, after asking for permission, Taiyi kept Axia behind and implanted a fake True Qi Pill in her as well, while also increasing his own Divine Soul Power by 2 points.

"My lord! Have you come to welcome our triumphant return?"

Rantarō quickly stood up, staggered forward a couple of steps, and then asked excitedly.

"Of course, it's not just us, but also the General. Quickly adjust your appearance and follow Elder Mizuno to the city walls."

After Matsudaira Aoki finished speaking, he glanced at Taiichi again.

The two stared at each other for a moment, then the former, with a complex expression, calmly said:

"Taiyi, you don't need to go. Go back and get some rest."

"Lord Aoki." Before Aoki could finish speaking, Mizuno Tadakuni suddenly interrupted, then, with his hands behind his back, smiled at Taichi and said, "Why don't you tell him the truth?"

"Taiyi, the General did not invite you to this welcoming banquet."

"Furthermore, because of your unauthorized actions, Aoki is also not allowed to go, and after returning from here, he will have to continue to reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors."

Ah......

Taiyi remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he sneered.

This is yet another time I've gone against the general's wishes...

But the result doesn't seem to be that serious.

Taiichi narrowed his eyes, smiling as he looked at Mizuno Tadakuni, but what he was thinking about was the night Aya had asked him for instructions...

"What? Taiichi, are you serious? You're going to report our rescue to Edo as well?"

When Ah-Xia heard her request, she immediately frowned, looking puzzled.

He reached out and straightened A-Xia's yukata, suppressing the exposed holy light, ignoring the system notification of +1 to her divine soul, and said calmly:

"I know you're worried that revealing my information will lead to punishment from the general."

"That's precisely why I want to see his reaction."

That's the bottom line, that's what I want to test.

When he was on Paradise Island and used the Primordial Six Swords - Taiyi, he suddenly felt that he no longer needed to hide his attitude towards the Shogunate as before.

Although he had known about Paradise Island for a long time, even more than the shogunate.

But since he transmigrated, he hadn't mentioned this to anyone.

As for going against Tokugawa Ienari's wishes, Taiichi had no intention of hiding it and wanted to tell him openly and legitimately.

Because his opponents next will be Sakura Dragon, Ren, Muzan, and even the White Serpent God.

These beings are all extraordinary beings.

Therefore, Taiyi is not allowed to appear. He is currently engaged in a fierce battle with these powerful figures, while the Shogunate is also making small moves behind his back.

If Tokugawa Ienari dares to openly cause trouble for him after he returns, he wouldn't mind making the other party go offline early.

Anyway, he'll kick the bucket in 5 years.

If he doesn't cause trouble, Taiyi won't touch him. After all, it's better for society to be stable, which is also convenient for his cultivation and can better suppress the growth of Kunyin's power.

When I thought of this, I stopped thinking.

Actually, I wanted to think about it some more, but A-Xia said it was a bit hot, so she lifted the hem of her yukata, which caused my spiritual power to instantly increase by 1.

The recollection ended there. Taiichi looked at Mizuno Tadakuni, smiled and nodded, then left.

However, as the two passed each other, Taiyi suddenly whispered:

"My lord, please convey my message to the general that I have gained something from this trip and need to return to seclusion to improve my skills. If there is nothing urgent, please do not disturb me."

"you!"

Ok?

Tadakuni Mizuno is a senior Chinese official, second only to the emperor.

When did a Hatamoto samurai dare to speak to me like that?

Just as he was about to lose his temper, he met Taiyi's gaze, which seemed to radiate an aura of annihilation, and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.

He then chuckled and turned away, avoiding eye contact with Taiyi.

That's terrifying. Is he even human?

How could a human possess such terrifying eyes? If he continues to break through and grow stronger, wouldn't he...?

His eyes darted around, and suddenly an idea popped into Mizuno Tadakuni's mind that even he found unbelievable.

So, is that Taiyi, who has already become a god?

If that's the case, we need to discuss a countermeasure with the general as soon as possible.

No matter which ruler it is, having someone like Taiyi by their side would probably make them feel uneasy.

......

In the Ue-yashiki Ward, in front of Taichi's own residence.

Looking at the four large characters "Number One Under Heaven" hanging high above, Taiyi stared for a long time before stepping into the courtyard.

"Number one in the world... I am already the number one among mortals, but in the realm of the extraordinary, there is still a long way to go."

"But having obtained this title means that, no matter where I am or what level I am at, I will be the number one in the world."

Swish!

Just as I finished thinking to myself, a cold glint of light suddenly came from the side.

Without even looking, I knew it was none other than Zoche who was going to cut me.

Hmm, Zorche is going to cut himself... Zorche is going to cut me! ? ?

He dodged instantly, realizing that Zuoqie's strike was not enveloped in sword energy.

"Without sword energy, it's the same as having no life force."

Seeing Sorcerer staring at him with dead fish eyes, Taichi couldn't help but smile, and then slowly walked forward.

With his index finger pointing to the tip of the "one"-shaped knife, he pushed it to one side, and with a quick movement of his right hand, he made Sōkiri turn around on the spot and wrap his arms around her from behind.

"I am very sorry for leaving without saying goodbye."

hum~

After all, she was a woman from the Wu family, and she didn't put on any act of twisting and turning or pretending to break free.

He was held in Taiyi's arms, and he only let out a cold snort.

"To express my apology, I'm giving you a gift."

Upon hearing this, Zoche's expression changed instantly, a slight smile appeared on his lips, and he turned his head away.

"What is it... ugh!"

Don't get the wrong idea. It's just channeling true energy into Zuoqie's central palace to plant a fake elixir.
