Chapter 4197 Searching
The news of Zong Yang's disappearance took two days to reach the Inugami clan, and the clan leader, Zong Mingshen, was naturally alarmed upon hearing it.

As mentioned before, although Zong Mingshen has two sons, he considers his second son, Zong Yue, to be essentially useless. Zong Yang is the heir he favors.

When he was told that there was no heir, wouldn't Zong Mingshen immediately become furious?

Although the passage between the human world and the demon world has now been opened, thanks to Linton, the demons in the demon world don't dare to come to the human world and cause trouble.

Zong Mingshen hadn't initially planned to come to the mortal realm, but this time he couldn't resist. Without a word, he gathered the experts from his family and set off, his goal, of course, being to find his son.

According to the information I've heard so far, Zong Yang is only missing; it seems his death hasn't been confirmed yet. Of course, if there were even the slightest chance, Zong Mingshen wouldn't believe his son was just suddenly gone. He wants to see him alive or dead, and as for who to ask for him, that goes without saying.

With a loud bang, a huge cloud of black smoke burst out of the demon passage in the Osaka city blockade, as if an actual internal explosion had occurred.

However, this surging black mist was clearly unusual, because instead of dissipating, it gradually coalesced, slowly forming the shape of a wolf-like beast. The mist was terrifyingly large, like a gigantic dark cloud, gradually enveloping the entire city of Osaka.

The moment the obviously suspicious black mist appeared, the Osaka branch of the Special Operations Department immediately sounded the alarm. After all, they already knew in advance that the Inugami family would be coming to demand their people. Although it was not yet certain whether the suddenly appearing black mist belonged to the Inugami family, the anomaly alone was enough to trigger an alarm.

The good news is that almost no one has come to this "street area" in Osaka these past two days, because the opposing team has issued a danger warning and closed the area in advance.

After all, everything that happened before was broadcast live, so the news couldn't be kept secret. The Awakened Ones who had been farming in the jungle had also received news that the Inugami Clan might come to the human world to settle scores. Everyone knew how powerful they were, so naturally they didn't dare to come and farm there.

Of course, despite the alarm, the Osaka branch did not have any plans for any kind of ambush.

If possible, they would certainly like to have a good talk with the Inugami family. Peaceful negotiation would be the best option, since they can't win.

However, the Inugami family clearly did not think that way.

Just as the Osaka branch was preparing to send someone to try to negotiate, a huge claw suddenly fell from the dark clouds in the sky with a loud "thud," flattening the entire branch base with a single blow.

This single swipe clearly demonstrated the Inugami family's current attitude; they were obviously so angry that they were no longer willing to talk to them.

A single attack inflicted heavy losses on the entire Osaka branch, almost wiping them out. Clearly, the opposing team had underestimated the fighting strength of the Inugami family.

Although I had considered the possibility of losing, I never expected that I wouldn't even be able to withstand the opponent's first blow.

However, Zongming Shen did not kill all the people in the Osaka branch. He quickly grabbed a few people with his claws. Under the intimidation of his powerful demonic energy, he quickly learned the details of Zongyang's accident from these people.

That's right, the information Zongming received wasn't very detailed, and he only just learned the whole story now.

From these people, he heard a name that filled him with fear. Indeed, his son's disappearance seemed to be closely related to Linton.

It seems that Zong Yang wasn't the initial target; he was merely caught up in the incident. Although it was the human named Ozaki Naomichi who attacked Zong Yang first, he only temporarily sealed him away.

The real reason Zong Yang is now missing seems to be that the aftershocks of the battle between Linton and that strange being named Yukihira Soma damaged the arena, causing Zong Yang to disappear.

This... gave Zong Mingshen a bit of a headache. Everyone else was fine, the problem was Linton.

Thinking of Linton, he could even feel his legs going weak. That guy couldn't really be considered human, could he? What kind of monster is that?

However, now is not the time to think about these things, since he is not here for revenge, but to find his son.

Our priority right now is finding our son. If we can find him, that would be ideal, and then everything would be fine. If we're certain our son is dead, then we can think about revenge and who to seek it out on.

After confirming the exact location of the incident, Zong Mingshen quickly sensed it and, as expected, couldn't detect any demonic energy from his son.

Even from a great distance, he could sense his son's demonic aura if the boy were still alive. But now, he clearly couldn't sense it anymore.

If they could sense demonic energy, the people from the Otherworldly Division would have found the person long ago. After all, the Otherworldly Division now has methods for detecting demonic energy, let alone such obvious demonic energy as that of Zong Yang.

The fact that he can't feel it now is obviously terrible news. Now, Zongming Shen can only hope that the sealing artifact that sealed his son—which he heard was supposedly a Celestial's sealing artifact—is a little more sturdy, so that his son was either blown away or buried by the aftershocks of the battle after being sealed inside, and that the disappearance of the demonic energy is due to this sealing artifact.

Otherwise, there is only one explanation: Zong Yang is obviously dead.

"Go to that place and look for them." Zong Mingshen quickly assigned tasks, sending several of his men to the battle location to find the people, while he, naturally, planned to go directly to the people from the Different Team.

Ultimately, it was the Otherworldly Department that invited Zong Yang to the human realm, so they have to take full responsibility. They need to see him alive or dead; they must give them an explanation no matter what.

This was, of course, a way for him to show the Inugami family's attitude: they had to come knocking on their door immediately.

Zongming Shen wasted no time. The next moment, the dark cloud hovering in the sky drifted directly towards Tokyo at an astonishing speed.

Of course, the Osaka branch had already informed the Tokyo headquarters before attempting any negotiations. However, judging from the speed at which the black cloud left, the Tokyo headquarters clearly didn't have much time to prepare.

Clearly, the Osaka branch is unaware of the situation that headquarters is currently facing.
