Chapter 503: Miyamoto Musashi

That man had two long knives by his waist. He looked very impressive, but his appearance was unflattering. He had a fierce look, and his face was almost unrecognizable because of his thick beard. He wore a long gown in the style of a ronin, revealing a bit of his muscles. He was yelling, “Didn’t you just drink a little wine from your house?”

Lei Luo walked in front of that person. He had long reverted to James’ appearance, so it was unlikely that they would speculate about his true identity.

“Brother, did you really just drink some wine from the restaurant?”

Lei Luo was a little curious. The main reason was that the man in front of him looked pretty good. Was this restaurant that unreasonable?

“Just a little bit. Brother, my name is Miyamoto Musashi.”

Miyamoto Musashi jumped up from the ground and reached out his hand to Lei Luo, blinking his eyes.

“Customer, don’t listen to his nonsense. He has almost finished the wine in our hotel and hasn’t paid yet. He’s acting like a scoundrel in the restaurant.”

A pleasant voice came from the side. Lei Luo followed the voice and looked over. The person who spoke was a beautiful woman dressed in plain clothes. Her eyes were slightly wavy and her brows were beautiful. Her bright red kimono accentuated her slim figure and her tone was fierce, but looking at her appearance, it felt like she was from a small family.

“I haven’t asked your name yet.”

Miyamoto Musashi called out to Lei Luo, but his eyes were looking at this woman with some guilt.

“My name is James. I still don’t know how to address this person.”

The woman patted her chest and said to Lei Luo, “Just call me Linghua.”

She then turned to Miyamoto Musashi with a fierce expression, “Since you’re a grandmaster this time, I’ll pay for you. Next time, you won’t be so lucky.”

After that, the woman turned around and was about to leave, ignoring the two dumbstruck people standing beside her.

Lei Luo hurriedly called out to Linghua. This was a good opportunity to learn more about the martial arts tournament. At the very least, he needed to know if there were any mages participating in this martial arts tournament so that he could be prepared.

“Miss Linghua, please wait a moment. I have something to discuss with you.”

Linghua only frowned and said to Lei Luo, “This is the worst pickup technique I’ve ever seen.”

Miyamoto Musashi, who was beside her, also hurriedly said, “That’s right, Linghua. I also have something to ask you.”

Upon hearing the words of the two of them, Linghua only sighed and said to the two of them, “Follow me.”

She thought that Miyamoto Musashi was probably there to drink again, but the man next to him was not easy to deal with. Judging by his footsteps, he was obviously an expert.

Walking with Linghua, Lei Luo also knew the identities of the two of them. Miyamoto Musashi was a self-created grandmaster of the two-day-one-day school, while Linghua was a serious grandmaster of the Liu Sheng New Yin School. The two of them were old acquaintances.

They walked into a house. Everyone inside was waving their swords, and a middle-aged man walked over.

“Miss, you’re back.”

Linghua waved her hand and said to the middle-aged man, “Prepare some food and wine. There are guests coming today.”

At this time, Linghua was still holding her breath. She had planned to go to that restaurant to get some wine, but she didn’t expect that Miyamoto Musashi would drink almost all of it.

The three of them walked over to one of the eaves and sat down. Miyamoto Takezo found his usual seat and sat down, stroking the fine wine Linghua had placed in the cabinet.

Linghua’s anger rose upon seeing this. However, seeing that Lei Luo was still by her side, she suppressed her anger, thinking that she would definitely teach Miyamoto Takezo a lesson later.

The three of them gathered around a small wine table, watching the cherry blossoms in the courtyard as they chatted.

“Are the two of you going to participate in this martial arts conference as well?” Lei Luo asked the question he wanted to know the most.

“Of course. Are you going to participate as well?” Linghua asked with an incredulous tone. After all, it was too strange for a foreigner to come to the northern borders to participate in the martial arts conference.

“I want to find a plant near the gate of the Devil World to heal a friend’s brain injury.”

Lei Luo wanted to find two people to inquire about the situation of the gate of the Devil Realm. It would be best if he could find information about that plant.

“The gate of the Devil Realm?!”

The two people looked at each other. Miyamoto Musashi had a hint of drunkenness on his face. Linghua said hesitantly, “You can ask Miyamoto Musashi. He has been to the gate of the Devil Realm.”

Hearing this, Lei Luo looked at Miyamoto Musashi. He didn’t expect to receive an incredible piece of news.

Miyamoto Musashi was silent for a moment before he nodded at Lei Luo and said, “I have indeed been there.”

His face no longer had the playful expression from before. He said with a nostalgic tone, “That was a hundred years ago. After finding it difficult to find an opponent in the northern border, I wanted to find an expert to continue training my martial arts and touch the limits of martial arts. At that time, someone told me that there was something I wanted to find in the node, and I didn’t think too much about it. Now that I think about it, it seems like that person’s intention was probably to let me go to the gate of the Devil World. I entered the node as I wished. After all, the general’s office didn’t want an uncontrollable grandmaster to be under their eyes. I passed through the node and greeted the family stationed there before passing through the gate of the Devil World and arriving at the real devil world. There, I met an enemy that I couldn’t defeat. He defeated me completely. I couldn’t find any possibility of defeating him. When I was about to be killed by him, a woman saved me. She claimed to be the saintess of the demon world. It was quite interesting to see me. She wanted to understand the outside world and wanted to save me. She told me that the person she was fighting with was a commander of the demon world. Their body structure was completely different from ours. They could accept more magic modifications and could even fuse with Magic Beasts to transform people. When I thought that I was going to accompany this saintess for the rest of my life, she was executed by the demon lord because she was protecting me. It sounds ridiculous, but that is the truth. Before she died, she used a forbidden spell to open the passage to the gate of the Demon World. During this period of time, I discovered that I had returned to the node of the gate of the demon world. Only the magic power she left in my body remained. I continuously used this magic power to transform my body. I want to return to the demon world and understand the truth of all this.”

After saying that, he picked up the wine on the table and took a fierce sip. Lei Luo and Linghua stopped talking at the same time. This was also the first time Linghua knew about this matter. How Miyamoto Musashi came back had always been what everyone wanted to know, but after hearing the story, people weren’t always entirely convinced.

“I understand. Then let’s have a good fight in the arena.”

Seeing Miyamoto Musashi’s depressed mood, Lei Luo patted him on the shoulder and encouraged him. “You can definitely return to the demon world. She might still be waiting for you.”

Linghua looked at the two people in front of her. For the first time, she felt that these two people looked so pleasing to the eye. Warriors were very simple. The three of them drank together and joked around.

The cherry blossoms in the courtyard had already fallen to the ground. They looked particularly enchanting.
