Capítulo 1736: Chapter 1737: Summit of Mount Fuji
Previously, Ye Xunhuan had already promised the Demon King to help him deal with Tojo Juunifu, even before knowing the Demon King’s wife was Huaxia.
Now that Ye Xunhuan knows the Demon King’s wife is actually Huaxia, it makes Ye Xunhuan even more determined to help the Demon King!
He has known the Demon King for a while; apart from being fond of fighting, the Demon King doesn’t have any other bad traits. Moreover, the Demon King once stood alongside him, Ye Xunhuan, in a tier during the Black List Tournament.
So, it’s clear that Ye Xunhuan absolutely can’t back down now; he’s going to help the Demon King!
“The little devils killed my compatriots, and this debt must be settled!” Ye Xunhuan said forcefully.
Looking at Ye Xunhuan’s determined expression, the Demon King’s face was filled with gratitude: “Marshal, whether or not we can take revenge this time, as long as I can walk down Mount Fuji alive, I’ll follow your orders without question in the future!”
Ye Xunhuan could clearly see from the Demon King’s expression that he was speaking sincerely, with no hint of joking.
“It’s not as serious as you make it out to be!” Ye Xunhuan said lightly. “Let’s go!”
In the West, most people are quite straightforward, unlike Huaxia where people are accustomed to exchanging pleasantries. Abroad, politeness can easily be taken as serious.
The Demon King is inherently a very forthright person, so without hesitation or fuss, he and Ye Xunhuan left the hotel for Mount Fuji!
Of course, on the way to Mount Fuji, they also grabbed a bite to eat.
Mount Fuji is the highest peak in Fusang, an important national symbol. It spans Shizuoka Prefecture and Yamanashi Prefecture as an active volcano, near the Pacific coast.
In Fusang, Mount Fuji has long been revered as a sacred mountain, renowned worldwide!
Mount Fuji is often called Furong Peak, Fuji, or Fuyue, and has frequently appeared in Fusang’s traditional poetry, “Waka.”
There were even poems praising Mount Fuji, such as “Jade fan hangs over the Eastern Sea sky, Fuji’s white snow reflects the morning sun.”
During the Edo Period, climbing Mount Fuji became popular among the Fusang commoners.
Due to their strong belief in Mount Fuji, the commoners piled up many small Fujizuka in various places in Edo, where Fujizuka are artificial hills built to be visible from Mount Fuji’s perspective, often with Asama Shrine on top for worship.
It’s also because during the Edo Period, Mount Fuji was mythologized; many new religions were born based on the fusion of Shinto and Buddhism faith in Mount Fuji.
Even now, Mount Fuji’s foothills host the bases of numerous Fusang sects, and its scenery is extremely beautiful. But Ye Xunhuan and the Demon King weren’t there for sightseeing; they were there to kill, so they didn’t pause to admire any scenery, instead heading straight towards Mount Fuji.
Mount Fuji has climbing entrances, but these are merely decorative for Ye Xunhuan and the Demon King; they didn’t use them.
Since they’re not ordinary people, their speed in climbing Mount Fuji far surpasses that of regular folks; neither of them showed any signs of fatigue!
Ye Xunhuan and the Demon King climbed Mount Fuji quickly, moving swiftly like lightning.
After some time, Ye Xunhuan and the Demon King finally reached Mount Fuji.
The summit was covered in snow, shimmering silver-blue from afar, breathtaking!
Upon arriving at Mount Fuji, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but ask the Demon King, “Demon King, where does Tojo Juunifu live?”
The summit of Mount Fuji has many shrines and other buildings, and the area is vast; if they don’t know where Tojo Juunifu resides, it might take a whole day without finding him.
“The volcanic crater!” the Demon King said firmly.
Ye Xunhuan was immediately stunned, thinking Tojo Juunifu was crazy!
In such a large area, why choose to live in the volcanic crater? Is it even habitable?
More importantly, isn’t this guy worried that the volcano might erupt and bury him someday?
Madman! Tojo Juunifu must be a madman; who in their right mind would live in a volcanic crater?
Knowing where Tojo Juunifu resides, Ye Xunhuan and the Demon King said nothing more, directly charging towards the volcanic crater.
Across the snow, Ye Xunhuan and the Demon King were like galloping horses, fast and nimble.
Soon, they reached the volcanic crater, but Ye Xunhuan didn’t see any buildings around!
Ye Xunhuan couldn’t resist asking, “Demon King, are you sure Tojo Juunifu lives here?”
“He lives in a cave formed by the volcanic crater!”
Upon hearing the Demon King’s words, Ye Xunhuan’s eyes widened in disbelief; damn, this guy is completely insane!
The next moment, Ye Xunhuan couldn’t help but look around.
Due to the volcanic eruptions, countless caves formed at the foothills, each with unique allure. Some caves still exude vapors, while others are cold as ice.
Ye Xunhuan also knew that some cave walls inside are covered with icicle-like formations called “eternal snow,” regarded as rare wonders!
“So many caves, which one is his?”
“Just shout, and you’ll know!”
Without hesitation, the Demon King shouted, “Tojo Juunifu, your grandfather the Demon King is here, come out and face death!”
His shout, like a roar, echoed around, making Ye Xunhuan worry about a potential avalanche!
Luckily, what Ye Xunhuan feared didn’t happen!
As soon as the Demon King’s voice fell, a man suddenly appeared from a cave spewing cold air!
The man appeared to be in his forties or fifties, with disheveled hair, wearing a kimono, his face pale, like a severely ill patient, giving off a frail feeling, and there was no trace of blood on his face!
Although the man appeared to be in his forties or fifties externally, the expression in his eyes told Ye Xunhuan he might be older.
His gaze was deep and calm, like the ocean, unfathomable, yet carried a hint of sharpness.
But this sharpness was the kind that pierces through all things!
He was Tojo Juunifu, one of the strongest in Fusang!
After appearing, Tojo Juunifu glanced back and forth between the Demon King and Ye Xunhuan before speaking lightly, “I was wondering why you dared to come seek vengeance; turns out you have a helper.”
“If I’m not mistaken, this should be the Marshal who’s been causing quite a stir in Fusang recently, correct?”
