Chapter 1083 - Brainwashing
Panda Novel
In the Divine Sovereign Sect, on Mt. Kurosaki Yama on the shore Northeast of Japan.
At the outermost corners of the mountain, stood a temple; a place for worship for the believers and a place of interest for the tourists. But the areas deeper into the mountains were completely off-limits as that was where the Divine Sovereign Sect was; not just anyone would be allowed to set foot into that place.
Earlier this morning, Chen Xiaobei, having assumed the identity of Kitagawa Heya’s closest disciple, entered the sect with Kitagawa Heya. As a Grand Elder, those under the Emperor God namely the disciples would greet Kitagawa Heya respectfully.
Chen Xiaobei, on the other hand, benefited by association. When the other disciples saw him, they all bowed and nodded just the same.
Everything seemed to be going well thus far.
Sooner than expected, both Chen Xiaobei and Kitagawa Heya arrived at the back of the mountain; the forbidden area in the sect.
The terrain had been leveled flat with bricks and a Holy Altar was constructed there.
A girl, clad in a white long-sleeved silk robe was kneeling in the center with her eyes shut.
She was simply stunning; with slender brows and a dainty nose, it was a sight reflecting the brush paintings of a Jiangnan Beauty.
Her dark hair gently draped across her back like a waterfall, a stark contrast to her pristine white garment.
As the wind blew, her silky hair and robes danced gracefully in the air; she mimicked a radiant snow lotus, untainted and silently blooming in this isolated secret place.
Chen Xiaobei knew this woman. She was the reason for this current mission. He was going to help her escape this living hell that was the Divine Sovereign Sect.
But Chen Xiaobei had never seen this side of her.
From the hostess at the nightclub who tried to seduce Chen Xiaobei the first time they met, to this flawless snow lotus before his eyes.
She was a completely different person!
“Master…” Kitagawa Heya whispered. “Tochigi Hyokitsune is there. Now you’ve finally gotten a chance to see her! But please, do not attempt to take another step towards her!”
“I know.” Chen Xiaobei replied, nodding slowly.
As there was still quite a distance to reaching the Holy Altar, Chen Xiaobei and Kitagawa Heya decided to pause for a bit, as they quickly scouted the surroundings of the Holy Altar.
On each side of the four corners of the Holy Altar stood a figure; a total of four men whom amongst were three elderly and one young man, perched on their heels, muttering syllables. It looked there was a holy ceremony ongoing.
Undoubtedly, the three old men were three of the four guardians of Divine Sovereign Sect, all of which were Celestial Cultivated Enigmatic Ninjas.
Their cultivations were, of course, one rung below the Grand Elder, Kitagawa Heya’s.
Since he already had Kitagawa Heya under his thumb, he could not be bothered much for these old men.
The fourth man, a younger lad in his thirties was the real reason why Chen Xiaobei stopped in his tracks.
He was the leader of the Divine Sovereign Sect, Tenshou God’s closet disciple; possibly the strongest man in all of Japan. His Celestial Cultivation was at the pinnacle phase of a 130,000 combat power and would most plausibly achieve the next cultivation really soon!
Although Chen Xiaobei could have taken him down, he was trying hard to refrain himself from alerting his enemy and destroying the crown prince’s wedding plans, which would then destroy the opportunity to realize the pact between Tenshou God and Nikkawa Uchu.
Chen Xiaobei would have to hold back for now and only strike later when the right time comes.
“I did some research and found out that before the Holy Lady is to be married off, she must fast in the Holy Land under the watchful eyes of the Emperor God and the four guardians while they are chanting!”
Chen Xiaobei questioned, “I’ve always thought that that was just a subterfuge to deceive the people. Hmm, but they really are chanting! Does it work?”
“That’s no mere incantation. This is a most definitely a unique way to brainwash. They are planting a subconscious like a seed into the very depths of Tochigi Hyokitsune’s soul!”
Kitagawa Heya further explained, “In the future, if Tochigi Hyokitsune does as she is told, nothing will ever happen to her. But should she rebel, the Emperor God will use a secret technique and control her like a putter!”
“%$#@!?”
Chen Xiaobei was not happy to hear this. “Oh god, they are planning to mess her up real bad! This is insane!”
He suddenly had a flash back to a past memory in Paradise Island, to the moment before time was reversed when Demonic Fox told Chen Xiaobei everything about herself.
She had always felt that she was very lucky to be accepted into the Divine Sovereign Sect.
She even boasted that her sifu was extremely kind to her and naively believed that the Emperor God and Nikkawa Okazaka would be able to avenge her, which led to her restrained arranged marriage with him.
Whilst dreams could be beautiful, the reality is always cold and harsh.
Neither the Emperor God nor Nikkawa Okazaka would ever avenge her. They dared not to even attempt that.
It was all a lie right from the start.
What was even more ludicrous was that they were brainwashing her all this time!
How could Chen Xiaobei not be mad?
“Is there a way we stop this?” Chen Xiaobei asked, his tone icy.
“There’s no way to do it…” Kitagawa Heya shook his head remorsefully. “The Emperor God and Grand Elders are here, if we go anywhere near the Holy Altar, we’ll be killed. Even if the four Grand Elders were to try talking to Tochigi Hyokitsune, they would all be killed as well, as talking to her will halt the brainwashing process. Objectively speaking, unless you have already made up your mind to make a scene, there is no way we could stop the brainwashing without being noticed…”
“Wait!” Chen Xiaobei cut him off and said, “You’re saying that talking to her will stop the brainwashing, right?”
“Yup… Yeah!” Kitagawa Heya nodded and said, “Tochigi Hyokitsune must be in an unconscious state of mind throughout the entire brainwashing process. If someone speaks to her and awakens her consciousness, the brainwashing would be completely ineffective.”
“Great! Then, I have an idea!” Chen Xiaobei’s eyes lit up as he proceeded to pick out two delicate knots from the Infinite Space Ring.
“What is this?” Kitagawa Heya asked, curious.
“This is called the Thousand Whisper Knot. It’s a Support Type Spiritual Item I managed to sneak from Diao Chan’s red packet!” Chen Xiaobei said.
“Diao Chan? Red Envelope?” Kitagawa Heya asked, even more confused than before. “Master, what are you talking about?”
“There’s no time to explain!” Chen Xiaobei handed a bow to him and instructed, “Go over there and when you get chance, activate this Spiritual Item and send it to Little Fox’s body! That way, I can use my inner thoughts to awaken her consciousness.”
“Use inner thoughts to awaken her? How is that possible?”
Kitagawa Heya stared at Chen Xiaobei, lost for words. He felt as if Chen Xiaobei was telling him a myth, it felt way too surreal for comprehension.
“Enough talk! Hurry and go over!”
Chen Xiaobei hastened. He was in no mood to explain everything.
“Yes, master!” Kitagawa Heya hid the knots in his sleeve and walked over to the Holy Altar.
As he was approaching, approximately ten meters away, the Emperor God had already noticed him.
The Emperor God got up slowly, walked down the Holy Altar and towards Kitagawa Heya.
