Even though Qin Fang didn't show any reaction, he paid close attention to Kawada Musashi's words... Especially the two families he mentioned, which caught Qin Fang's attention.
The Yagyu family, Qin Fang was quite familiar with it; it's an exceptionally powerful family in Japan's martial world, with a highly renowned reputation, no less than the two major ninja sects of Iga and Koga.
However, it has a significant difference from these two ninja sects; the Yagyu family is a sword clan, not practicing ninjutsu.
The Yagyu family has produced many formidable swordsmanship experts, such as the father-son duo of Yagyu Tajima-no-kami and Yagyu Jubei; they not only gained fame throughout Japan's martial world but also claimed invincibility in the Dragon Country Martial World...
Of course, although these two made some noise for a while, they ultimately ended up like many other rowdy Japanese experts either before or after them, either slinking back to Japan and never stepping into the Dragon Country again, or simply being buried in the Dragon Country, never returning...
The Yagyu family has produced numerous experts, showing no signs of decline even now, remaining among the leaders in Japan's martial world.
However, Qin Fang didn't expect such a significant conflict between Miyamoto Musashi and the Yagyu family, reaching a point where they want to kill each other...
And if Qin Fang guessed correctly, the sect master or top expert of the Yagyu family should hold at least the status of a Red-robed Priest of the Dao Shen Sect, on par with Miyamoto Musashi.
But Qin Fang had never heard of the Ando family, yet Kawada Musashi, a grandmaster mid-stage expert, paired it alongside the Yagyu family. It must be quite formidable, if not stronger than the Yagyu family, at least comparable...
After all, Kawada Musashi sees these two families as the ones most hoping for Miyamoto Musashi to suffer, and for someone as domineering as Miyamoto Musashi, he would never allow a small family to challenge his authority.
If such a small family existed, he would have found a reason to exterminate them long ago... The title of Red-robed Priest is not just a name; its power is quite substantial.
For an enemy that Miyamoto Musashi keeps in mind, without similar status, they wouldn't have survived until now... The Ando family definitely isn't weak.
The key point is that Qin Fang suddenly remembered something; the entity backing the Black Dragon Society seemed to have some connections with the Ando family.
This was a secret learned from Watanabe back then; only a brief mention in haste, Qin Fang didn't pay much attention at the time. Just a vague mention of Ando family-like words, which Kawada Musashi's sudden mention now brought back to Qin Fang's mind.
Otherwise, in a few days, Qin Fang might really have overlooked all of this!
"Could it be such a coincidence..."
Even Qin Fang felt as though he had unintentionally hit the mark, accidentally leading Kawada Musashi into the trap, which would certainly stir up a big mess.
"What do you want to achieve?"
The more Qin Fang dodged the question, the more Kawada Musashi felt he might have guessed something, and he chose not to speak further, silent for a moment before lowly asking.
"I only want Miyamoto Musashi dead..."
Since this was an act, Qin Fang knew he couldn't fake it; he confidently and firmly stated.
Miyamoto Musashi is the spiritual pillar of the Musashi School, and its top expert; if he was eliminated, it would be a major twist for Qin Fang.
A master-level peak expert at his weakest, even injured or disabled, could bring Qin Fang immense benefits.
However, Kawada Musashi naturally wouldn't be easily convinced, casting a dubious glance at Qin Fang, making his heart uneasy.
Helplessly, Qin Fang added, "Of course, if Elder Kawada is willing, you could also allow me to pick one or two treasures from the Musashi School's treasure vault as a return gift..."
"Miyamoto Musashi has reached master-level peak strength; although rumors say he is disabled by going mad, the truth might not be so... How do you intend to help us?"
Kawada Musashi clearly didn't trust Qin Fang, yet he didn't reject him, either; after all, both father and son's secrets were already overheard by Qin Fang, so this was his way of testing Qin Fang.
"Naturally, I have a way, but it requires your assistance..."
Qin Fang frowned slightly, Kawada Musashi was clearly attempting to exploit him - asking Qin Fang to be the front line despite seeming to offer help.
However, since Qin Fang stood out deliberately, he naturally had a strategy already, otherwise, he could have pretended not to overhear anything and continued his assassination plans!
"You say..."
Kawada Musashi spoke softly.
"This time it's not just me infiltrating the heart of the Musashi School; there are several experts coming along... including a Grandmaster-level expert!"
Qin Fang was not polite and didn't even bother to hide how many people there were in their group. He directly revealed their intentions... something that couldn't be concealed since Hattori Sanzo and Song Qingshan were in the open, and Kawada Musashi could easily find out.
"If I remember correctly, the entire Musashi School, besides Miyamoto Musashi, only includes you, another Grandmaster elder Domoto Musashi, and that Grandmaster expert who hasn't made a move in thirty years..."
When he said this, Kawada Musashi couldn't help but frown but still nodded, acknowledging Qin Fang's statement.
Especially that latter one, whose existence even outsiders were almost unaware of except for the high-level elders within the Musashi School. At least, even "familiar faces" like Hattori Sanzo who had visited the Musashi School several times were unaware.
However, Qin Fang stated it directly, which was enough to indicate that Qin Fang and his group had come well-prepared this time... and this hit Kawada Musashi quite strongly.
But if Kawada Musashi knew that such secrets were discovered by Qin Fang using the Mind Reading Technique while Kawada Masami was emotionally tense, the old guy would probably feel like spitting blood!
"We've got Miyamoto Musashi covered; I just hope you can lure away those two Grandmaster-level experts... Of course, if you can clear out the other members of the Musashi School, we can minimize the slaughter, leaving you and your son some foundation!"
Qin Fang wasn't courteous at all, and even the conditions he laid out were aggressively straightforward, directly asking Kawada Musashi to draw away the two other Grandmaster-level experts... This was almost equivalent to clearing most of the obstacles on the path to Miyamoto Musashi for Qin Fang and his group.
As for the remaining small fry, they were just a bunch of sub-Grandmaster-level underlings. While many ninjas may pose a considerable threat to ordinary Grandmaster-level experts, Qin Fang was just their nemesis... The ninjas might not even have the chance to get close before being killed by Qin Fang!
With no opportunities for assassination, they could only resort to direct confrontation, but their prowess was no match for Qin Fang. Aside from having numbers as an advantage, they couldn't gain anything against Qin Fang.
But would Qin Fang be afraid of a crowd?
Obviously not!
The more people there are, the stronger Qin Fang's group-slaying skill becomes, only causing more to fall at Qin Fang's feet and creating more slaughter!
"Do you really have confidence in dealing with Miyamoto Musashi?"
Kawada Musashi was still filled with doubt. If Miyamoto Musashi were so easy to deal with, he wouldn't have been forced to remain dormant for over a decade without daring to make a move.
"You leave that to me, I naturally have my ways..."
Qin Fang certainly wasn't going to reveal his plans. Whether the cooperation was genuine or not, as long as he managed to deceive Kawada Musashi, this operation would be considered quite successful.
Even if in the end, Qin Fang played Kawada Musashi for a fool, Kawada Musashi could only swallow the insult and wouldn't be able to do anything to Qin Fang!
Of course, unless it was absolutely necessary, Qin Fang didn't want it to come to that... Though Kawada Musashi was also quite formidable, he was far inferior compared to Miyamoto Musashi.
The most crucial thing is, Qin Fang's primary goal wasn't to destroy the Musashi School but to obtain the second piece of the Secret Realm Map... He already knew that this piece wasn't with Kawada Musashi, so it likely ended up with Miyamoto Musashi, or it had always been stored in the Musashi School's sect treasure vault!
At least Qin Fang knew that the famously legendary Divine Sword Ishikawa Left-Written was kept in the Musashi School's vault and had always been regarded as the sect's treasure passed down through generations.
Qin Fang wasn't interested in this sword, which was at most of Flowing Shadow Divine Sword level, and perhaps even inferior to it. So why would Qin Fang be interested?
It's worth noting that Qin Fang was currently on the lookout for Tianxin Sand, in order to upgrade the Flowing Shadow Divine Sword in his possession to the level of Dragon Country's Top Ten Divine Weapons. Since he wasn't very satisfied with the current Flowing Shadow Sword, these inferior items were even less desirable...
"Alright! I can draw them away... but, only for one hour at most! If you can't kill Miyamoto Musashi within an hour, then... don't blame me for being impolite!"
To be fair, the condition Qin Fang proposed was indeed attractive. After contemplating in silence for a long time, Kawada Musashi finally nodded in agreement.
Miyamoto Musashi was his nemesis and his only superior. Once Miyamoto Musashi fell, the Musashi School would fall into Kawada Musashi's hands.
Although the other two Grandmaster-level experts had significant positions, one had been isolated for thirty years without returning to the world, and the other had far less seniority than Kawada Musashi, making him the obvious choice for the new sect master...
He could seek revenge and gain great benefits... Although this operation was fraught with significant risk, Kawada Musashi was ultimately persuaded by Qin Fang. (To be continued.
