"So that's how Uncle Xu got his hands on the Muramasa demon sword."

Qin Yang nodded, seemingly finding how Xu Xinghan acquired the sword rather coincidental.

"Yes, when I first obtained the sword, I was quite excited to have stumbled upon a legendary Japanese blade.

Those Japanese people had previously plundered many precious porcelains and artworks from our Huaxia.

Now that I've acquired a legendary Japanese sword, if they found out, they'd be furious."

Xu Xinghan recounted.

Qin Yang nodded, recognizing that Xu Xinghan was not only a top-tier entrepreneur but also possessed a patriotic spirit.

"However, what happened later made me regret obtaining this sword, for it truly is a cursed blade."

Xu Xinghan looked at the Muramasa demon sword in Qin Yang's hand, his voice lowered.

"Is it related to the attack from the Munou Clan's ninjas?"

Qin Yang turned his gaze to Xu Xinghan and asked.

"Yes, that's correct."

Xu Xinghan nodded, a hint of hatred appearing on his usually calm face.

"The attackers from the Munou Clan, according to them, were the descendants of the clan that forged this Muramasa demon sword. Upon learning that I had obtained it, they immediately sent people to demand it back."

Xu Xinghan recalled the incident and narrated.

"Did Uncle Xu refuse to give it to them, so they used underhanded tactics to seize it?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow and asked.

"I didn't actually refuse."

Xu Xinghan slowly shook his head and said.

"Knowing the Japanese's ruthlessness, and how determined the Munou Clan was to reclaim the sword, possibly resorting to any means, I didn't completely refuse. Instead, I proposed they exchange it for some of the precious calligraphy and porcelains they had taken from Huaxia."

Xu Xinghan continued.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang nodded, recognizing the meticulous nature of Xu Xinghan's thinking, proving that his approach was quite appropriate.

"However, what I didn't expect during the negotiation process was that on the very night, the Japanese sent ninjas to attack my estate."

Xu Xinghan's face darkened, his voice filled with profound hatred for the Japanese.

"That group of Japanese scoundrels intended to take the Muramasa demon sword without giving anything in return."

Qin Yang's eyes also flashed with hostility, understanding the Munou Clan's deceitful and ruthless nature.

"Yes, but the Ancient Martial Artists stationed in my estate weren't pushovers either. An intense battle ensued, resulting in the death of two Human-level Ninjas and five Upper Ninjas from the Japanese side, while we lost one Celestial Tier master and several Earth Tier experts."

Xu Xinghan said in a deep voice.

"After this incident, further negotiations with the Japanese were obviously impossible. Following that, they launched repeated blatant attacks on me, even attempting to capture Mengjie tonight."

Xu Xinghan gritted his teeth and said.

"Uncle Xu, these Japanese are treacherous; they're in the dark while you are in the open. Giving them this demon sword might not be a bad idea. I wonder if you..."

Qin Yang pondered for a moment and expressed his doubt.

Despite the Muramasa demon sword's rarity and value, these frequent attacks, and the threat to Xu Mengjie's safety, were concerning. If it hadn't been for running into it tonight, Xu Mengjie would likely have been captured by the Japanese. Since they are demanding the sword, it would be better to give it, given that the safety of oneself and family is threatened.

With Xu Xinghan's wealth and generosity, one might not see a mere sword as so important.

"Actually, it's just a Wakizashi, though precious. But in my eyes, it does not compare to Mengjie and my family's safety. Nevertheless, I will not compromise this time; I will fight the Munou Clan's Japanese to the death!"

Xu Xinghan spoke with a deep hatred in his eyes.

"Uncle Xu, is it because?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow and looked at Xu Xinghan, sensing that there might be other reasons.

"In fact, considering tonight, I've clashed with the Japanese five times in total. During the third attack, my wife, Shuzhen, was struck on the back of her head with a samurai saber by one of the Japanese, causing severe damage to her brain tissue. Since then, she's been unable to speak, unable to move, becoming... a vegetable. I've consulted renowned doctors worldwide but to no avail."

Xu Xinghan's voice carried a rasp and depth, as he slowly lifted his head to look at Qin Yang, his eyes slightly red.

"Young Master Qin, tell me, how can I not avenge this? These Japanese bastards still want the sword; I would rather burn it to ashes than give it to them."

Xu Xinghan's eyes flashed with anger, clenching his teeth as he spoke.

Upon hearing this, Qin Yang nodded, his assessment of Xu Xinghan rising even further. In ordinary times, those with wealth seldom recall those who stood by them throughout their youth, indulging instead in a life of luxury. Someone like him, full of affection and righteousness, was rarer among the affluent.

Furthermore, it is evident that Xu Xinghan had a deep relationship with his wife.

"To avenge Shuzhen, during the fourth attack by the Japanese, I set a trap, inviting strong figures from the Shangguan Clan backing me. In that battle, we killed a Japanese Earth-level Ninja, five Human-level Ninjas, and more than a dozen Upper Ninjas, with minimal loss on our side."

"That attack was significant enough to cause substantial harm to the Japanese, so it's been about a month since they last acted. Until tonight, the Munou Clan's Japanese reappeared, even dispatching two Earth-level Ninjas."

Xu Xinghan spoke.

Saying so, Xu Xinghan turned his gaze to Qin Yang, with a trace of gratitude in his eyes.

"If it weren't for Young Master Qin's intervention, my daughter and I might have been in grave danger this time."

Xu Xinghan expressed his appreciation, but his heart harbored deeper hatred for the Japanese. With his status and position in Huaxia, having been repeatedly attacked like this was unprecedented.

"Uncle Xu, no need for formalities. I've never had a good impression of Japanese ninjas. They are brazenly causing trouble on the Huaxia Land; killing them was just a matter of convenience."

Qin Yang replied. After Xu Xinghan's narration, he now had a clear understanding of the situation.

"By the way, Uncle Xu, what is the overall strength of the Munou Clan?"

Qin Yang turned his gaze to Xu Xinghan and asked.

Since Qin Yang was already involved, disengaging was impossible. He would have to deal a considerable blow to the Japanese, to instill fear and even eradicate them entirely. After all, Qin Yang already had his fair share of enemies, and one more didn't concern him.

"I apologize, Young Master Qin, for dragging you into this. In the future, if there is anything you need from me, please do not hesitate to ask."

Xu Xinghan spoke solemnly and then did not dwell further on the topic.

He kept the life-saving gratitude in his heart, and since Qin Yang was already involved, saying anything further would be futile.

"Currently, the Munou Clan is a semi-reclusive ninja clan, not known by ordinary Japanese people. Their surname is also quite rare in Japan.

They still refine and export weaponry, and many ninjas in Japan are equipped with weapons produced by the Munou Clan.

Besides exporting weaponry, they have limited contact with the outside world, being somewhat reclusive. Although they are not one of the three major clans in Japan, their strength is not far behind and might even surpass them slightly."

Xu Xinghan spoke in a deep voice, evidently finding the Munou Clan quite formidable.
