"He hasn't made any major moves recently, just constantly contacting those family powers and government officials,"

"He must be seeking their support to become the next heir to the throne,"

the woman said.

"My cousin sure doesn't hide his ambition!!!"

Yui sneered.

Within the Tokyo Imperial Family.

In a palace chamber.

Sat a young man with a gloomy face and a mustache at the corner of his lips.

It was Teng Hao, the son of Dong Sang Country's Emperor's second brother.

"Your Highness, it has been confirmed; the individual who attacked Princess Tian Ya that night was sent by Princess Yui,"

a middle-aged man said as he walked in and spoke to Teng Hao.

"Indeed, that woman, her actions are vicious enough!!!"

Teng Hao sneered.

"Your Highness, Princess Yui is ambitious and supported by a powerful force; we must take precautions early,"

the middle-aged man said.

"Hmph, it's not so easy to claim the throne!!!"

Teng Hao snorted.

"Find the Demon Lord's whereabouts for me!!!"

Teng Hao suddenly demanded.

"Your Highness, are you planning to?"

The middle-aged man's eyes sharpened as he looked at Teng Hao.

"With the Demon Lord's immense strength, if I gain his support, the title of heir will undoubtedly be mine,"

Teng Hao declared.

"The Demon Lord is said to be incredibly arrogant; securing his assistance is probably not so simple!!!"

the middle-aged man stated solemnly.

"This is Dong Sang Country, he doesn't have the final say; I have my ways to make him comply!!!"

Teng Hao coldly snorted, a cold glint in his eyes.

The next day—

Inside the great hall of the Tenon Family, a group of people gathered.

They were the family heads of the major Dong Sang Country Martial Arts Families.

People from the Withered Wood Dao, Death Martial Dao, Iga Path, and Phantom Dao were also present.

Keiko Tenon, sitting at the head, addressed the assembly:

"Have the Beichen Family Head, the Yagyu Family, and the Takeda Family Master not arrived yet?"

"Family Head, the three family heads are said to be in cultivation retreat and could not attend!!!"

An underling of the Tenon Family informed Keiko Tenon.

"Hmph, at a time like this, they still have the leisure to be in retreat; they must want to follow in the Miyamoto Family's footsteps!!!"

Keiko Tenon snorted coldly.

"And the people from Sakura Road haven't come either?"

Keiko Tenon asked.

"No."

The underling replied.

"Hmph, they wouldn't dare come after destroying our Withered Wood Dao and the Master of Death Martial Dao,"

an Innate Elder from the Withered Wood Dao sneered.

"Keiko Tenon, did you call us here today because of the Demon Lord?"

The Mafuyu Family head looked at Keiko Tenon and inquired.

The Hattori Family Master, the Fujikawa Family Head, the Sato Family Head, and the Tian Zhong Family Master—all four great Martial Arts Family heads, focused on Keiko Tenon.

"Correct, you all know what happened to the Miyamoto Family; according to my investigation, it was the Demon Lord who annihilated them,"

"And I met the Demon Lord yesterday; his intentions are very clear,"

"He wants to destroy the Dong Sang Martial Arts World and become the king here!!!"

Keiko Tenon declared bluntly.

Upon hearing Keiko Tenon's words,

the facial expressions of the five Family Heads all changed.

"Are you telling the truth?"

the Hattori Family Master asked with a grave voice.

"Of course, it's true; that's why I've called you all here,"

"If we don't want to be annihilated like the Miyamoto Family, we must join forces to combat the Demon Lord, or we will be defeated one by one!!!"

Tenon Keiko said coldly.

"This Demon Lord is too arrogant, thinking he can destroy the Martial Arts World of Dong Sang Country. Does he really think he is a demon?"

Fujikawa Family Head snapped coldly.

"It seems we indeed have to unite to deal with him."

"Moreover, since this concerns the Martial Arts World of Dong Sang Country, the other Dong Sang Martial Arts forces should also participate and take on the Demon Lord together."

"Let the Demon Lord see the might of the Martial Arts World of Dong Sang Country!!!"

Tian Zhong Family Master's eyes shimmered with a cold light as he coldly declared.

"That's right, especially the people from the Three Sects. If they take action, our chances of dealing with the Demon Lord will be even greater."

Sato Family Head said as he spoke.

"No matter what, if we don't want to follow in the footsteps of the Miyamoto Family, we must unite and exterminate the Demon Lord right here in Dong Sang Country."

"Not only will our danger be removed, but the prestige and influence of our great families will also skyrocket!!!"

Tenon Keiko's eyes flashed with a chilling look as she coldly exclaimed.

"Hmm!!!"

All of the people from the Five Great Martial Arts Families and the Four Dao were nodding in agreement.

Clearly, they had united their front and were ready to move against the Demon Lord.

"The Demon Lord is very powerful; even the Sun God died at his hands, as you all should know."

"This time, I hope everyone will not hold back. We need to bring out our strongest forces if we are to have any chance of killing the Demon Lord and winning!!!"

Tenon Keiko looked at the crowd and said in a grave tone.

"Demon Lord, this time you are surely dead!!!"

Tenon Keiko thought coldly to herself.

"But we currently don't know where the Demon Lord is, how shall we act?"

Mafuyu Family Head said, furrowing his brows.

"I have already investigated; the Demon Lord is in Sakura Road."

"The one who previously killed the Withered Wood Dao Master and the Master of Death Martial Dao must be this Demon Lord."

Tenon Keiko said.

"So that's it, no wonder my Withered Wood Dao and Death Martial Dao suffered setbacks at Sakura Road."

"It turns out that Sakura had already sided with the Demon Lord."

The Great Elder of the Withered Wood Dao said with a dark face.

"This time, we will also exterminate everything related to Sakura Road!!!"

A Martial Arts expert from the Death Martial Dao coldly shouted, his eyes flickering with a ferocious killing intent.

Several dual-hours later, outside the valley where Sakura Road was located.

A large group of people had gathered here.

The Tenon Family, Mafuyu Family, Sato Family, Hattori Family, Tian Zhong Family, Fujikawa Family, Death Martial Dao, Iga Path, Phantom Dao, and Withered Wood Dao.

All the experts from the ten great Martial Arts World Forces of Dong Sang Country had gathered here.

Leading them were the current Controllers of these ten forces.

What followed were the most elite Martial Arts Experts from each of their respective families.

This time, to deal with the Demon Lord, the Six Martial Arts Families and the Four Dao forces of Dong Sang Country had indeed brought out their top experts.

They all showed their strongest trump cards, all to completely exterminate the Demon Lord.

"Remember, there may still be people from the Demon Prison within the valley, and we mustn't let a single one escape!!!"

Tenon Keiko said coldly.

"Don't worry, with the Ninja from my Hattori Family here, none will escape!!!"

The Hattori Family Head coldly stated.

He had also brought nearly dozens of ninjas, all of whom were Chunin level and above.

There were twenty or thirty Jonin and Earth-level Ninja combined.

There were even seven or eight Tennin experts, which was quite a significant investment.

Meanwhile, inside the valley where Sakura Road was.

Chu Feng was leisurely sitting there drinking tea.

Luo Ling'er was sitting by the side, engrossed in a television drama.

Sakura walked in briskly.

"Master, the Six Martial Arts Families and the people from the Four Dao are all here, and they are ready to attack."

Sakura looked at Xiao Yifeng and hurriedly reported.

"There are always so many people in this world who are not afraid of death."

Chu Feng chuckled coldly.
