Simultaneous Transmigration: From Japanese Comics to American Comics, a Powerful Attack

Soul Palace.

A new throne has been lit.

Along with it appeared a strange tree, like the divine tree in the Naruto world, rooted in the center of the palace.

This unexpected turn of events startled everyone; in comparison, the lighting up of the throne seemed rather insignificant.

"Why is there an extra big tree here?"

"This version update is really strange."

"The design looks somewhat familiar..."

"Speaking of which, which world's BOSS got into trouble again?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Hokage Chu Yang appeared in the Soul Palace, bringing news that he had defeated Kaguya.

The crowd gathered around the large tree, examining it closely and wondering about its purpose. So far, nothing that had appeared in the Soul Palace had been useless.

Hokage Chu Yang tried to inject chakra into the Divine Tree to see what the reaction would be, but it turned out that there was a wall inside the Divine Tree blocking the chakra from entering, as if it was rejecting this power.

Subsequently, everyone tried using other powers, but without exception, none of them could react with the divine tree.

"There should be other triggering conditions, so please don't try them randomly, lest you damage the tree."

Magic Chu Yang stopped everyone's attempt.

Except for a few who remained in the Soul Palace, the others returned to the world.

...............

A world of immortals and heroes.

Mingzhou City.

Not far from Yuhang Town, Mingzhou City is extremely prosperous due to its extensive waterways. As the dominant force in the city, the Xiahou family practically controls the most profitable industries.

Even the government sometimes had to consider the Xiahou family's feelings before acting.

Fortunately, the Xiahou family, as one of the leading families of the righteous path, has a humble and polite family tradition. They never use their power to oppress others. On the contrary, they often do good deeds. Whether it is a year of disaster or famine or a sudden man-made disaster, they are always the first to appear to help solve the problem. They have a good reputation among the people.

Almost as soon as they stepped into the city, many people spontaneously came forward to greet Xiahou Zhang, who was leading the group, and their concern was genuine.

"Uncle Xiahou is as beloved by the people as ever," Jiang Cheng remarked from the crowd.

“Isn’t Uncle Ouyang the same? If we’re talking about chivalrous spirit, Uncle Ouyang is undoubtedly number one,” Xiahou Jinxuan replied politely.

"Alright, you two, is it really necessary to keep flattering each other like this? Aren't you nervous at all? We're about to meet that person, what if we can't reach an agreement?"

For some reason, the closer Xia got to Mingzhou City, the more uneasy she felt, and her mood worsened.

Ever since learning the truth, Xia's mind has been haunted by the image of Mo Yi.

That man gave her a second life by chance, but his intentions were extremely sinister.

She didn't even know if she should thank him...

Seemingly noticing Xia's unusual behavior, Xiahou Jinxuan and Jiang Cheng did not blame her for her bad attitude. Mu Changlan even put her arm around Xia's shoulder and gently comforted her.

Only Xie Cangxing laughed heartily and said nonchalantly, "Girl, don't be so nervous. We can't do it. My sect leader isn't someone to be trifled with. As the saying goes, even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner..."

Xiahou Jinxuan immediately stopped him from continuing, saying, "Brother Xie, we should show respect to the Buddha even if we don't respect the monk."

Xia put her hands on her hips and said, "Who is your senior brother, the sect leader? What kind of relationship are you trying to establish? Just call me sect leader!"

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but shake his head and say, "Brother Xie, it's inappropriate to describe Sect Leader Chu as a good-for-nothing. You should be careful with your words when you return to Mount Shu..."

Mu Changlan said coldly, "What an uncultured person."

Xie Cangxing panicked, "Hey, hey, why are they all targeting me? I'm so innocent..."

Teasing Xie Cangxing seems to have become an unspoken fun activity for everyone, but to be honest, it's quite stress-relieving. At least Xia is not as nervous as before, and the effect is significant.

The noise reached Xiahou Zhang's ears. He turned around, looked at the group of young people, shook his head, and sighed, "Noisy and disorderly, what kind of behavior is this?"

The accompanying butler chuckled and said, "Master, it's understandable for young people. We were the same when we were their age. The young master's behavior is too mature. He has an air of premature maturity at such a young age, which is not a good thing."

Xiahou Zhang said irritably, "You and my second brother have spoiled him since he was little. You told him to learn martial arts, but he refused and insisted on learning magic. Now he's all grown up and still has no manners. I don't know what will happen to him in the future. Sigh..."

The accompanying steward apologized repeatedly, but his eyes were full of smiles. He had served the Xiahou family for many years and was regarded as a family member by Xiahou Zhang and others, which was why he could speak to the head of the family like this.

The Xiahou residence was located at the highest point in the entire Mingzhou City. To get back, they had to climb a long flight of stairs. As the group ascended the stairs, Xiahou Jinxuan, who was the weakest among them, kept complaining.

“I have to walk this way every time I go home. I really want to move out of my house.”

"Young master, don't take your good fortune for granted. Go ask the beggars on the street if they would mind climbing the stairs if they could live in the Xiahou mansion."

"Hmm... Miss Xia is right to reprimand me."

"Haha, why does the young master get scolded every day?"

"I'd like to know why too?"

"What else could it be? You're such a jinx! Everything you say is bound to turn out badly."

After being scolded again, Xiahou Jinxuan chose to shut up.

Upon returning to the Xiahou residence, a servant brought news that the second master was bedridden and unable to get out of bed, which frightened Xiahou Zhang so much that he hurriedly went to visit him.

Jiang Cheng and the others exchanged bewildered glances. They knew Xiahou Tao's true identity; how could a puppet have so many illnesses? He was truly a master actor.

Xiahou Jinxuan's expression was complicated. After standing there in silence for a long time, he suddenly said, "Please wait for me a moment. I want to go in and see my second uncle."

Xia immediately shouted anxiously, "Are you crazy?"

Xiahou Jinxuan's eyes held an indescribable sadness as he slowly said, "For the past ten years or so, I've spent every day with him. He taught me to read and write, to conduct myself in society, and even taught me magic for self-defense. Humans aren't plants or trees; how could they be without such skills? Before things have completely fallen out, I can still call him 'Second Uncle.' But once the truth comes out, we can never go back to the way things were..."

Xia wanted to say something more, but Jiang Cheng stopped her, shaking his head at her and saying, "Miss Xia, everyone understands his feelings, so let him be."

Mu Changlan also said softly, "Xia, the person who is most saddened right now is the young master."

Xie Cangxing took a swig of wine. "Girl, don't worry about the young master's safety. That person doesn't know anything yet."

Xia turned her back and stopped talking. She was indeed very worried about Xiahou Jinxuan's safety, but she also understood the pain of losing a loved one. For Xiahou Jinxuan, his second uncle would die completely when the truth was revealed.

After gaining everyone's consent and understanding, Xiahou Jinxuan hurriedly went into the backyard and easily found Xiahou Tao's room.

At this moment, the door was open, and Xiahou Jinxuan went in and saw Xiahou Tao lying on the bed, and his father guarding the bedside.

Xiahou Tao, pale-faced, saw Xiahou Jinxuan and showed a relieved and loving expression, smiling slightly as he said, "Jinxuan is back. You must have seen a lot of interesting things on your journey, right? Tell your second uncle about them."

“Okay, Second Uncle.” A trace of sadness flashed in Xiahou Jinxuan’s eyes as he walked to Xiahou Tao’s bedside and told him about the interesting things he had seen at the Grand Ceremony.

He didn't hide anything about what happened on Mount Shu. When he heard that Demon Lord Chonglou had appeared to congratulate Chu Yang on becoming the sect leader, Xiahou Tao's expression turned strange.

"The dignified ruler of the Demon Realm actually has the leisure to come to the human world to join in the fun? Could it be that the Demon Realm is currently in a state of peace and prosperity and does not need any governance?"

The resentment in his tone was palpable, but Xiahou Tao controlled his emotions, preventing Xiahou Zhang in front of him from noticing anything amiss. Xiahou Jinxuan, who had been watching him intently, lowered his head, his whole body trembling slightly.

If he still harbored some unrealistic fantasies before stepping into the room, Xiahou Tao's attitude at this moment shattered his last glimmer of hope.

They talked about Mount Shu for who knows how long before Xiahou Tao showed signs of exhaustion. In order to help him recover as soon as possible, Xiahou Zhang did not dare to disturb his rest and directly took Jin Xuan out of the room.

After the two left, Xiahou Tao, who had been looking sickly, suddenly sat up in bed, his expression turning fierce.

"The various kingdoms of the Demon Realm are fighting fiercely over water resources. As the ruler of the Demon Realm, you neither choose to mediate nor try to repair the water veins, but instead call it survival of the fittest."

"Chonglou, you really shouldn't be the ruler of this demon realm!"

While Xiahou Tao, or rather Mo Yi, was cursing Chonglou, Xiahou Zhang had already led everyone to a side hall for a meal. They had been eating and sleeping in the open along the way and were starving. Without saying a word, they started to eat and drink like crazy, as if they were risking their lives.

Xiahou Jinxuan was not in the mood and had no appetite, so he went back to his room to rest early. On the contrary, Xia, who had been feeling a little unwell, ate the most.

With her five senses restored, she tasted the deliciousness of delicacies for the first time since birth. In the past, even if she had spare money, she would not buy good food because she could not taste it.

The little girl ate and cried at the same time, looking like a refugee arriving in the country. Xiahou Zhang's mouth twitched as he watched, thinking to himself that any family with a slightly meager financial situation would have to marry this girl.

Hasn't this child already become a disciple of Mount Shu? Why is he still acting like he's never seen the world before?

Even the most delicious food, isn't it a bit too much to eat it until you cry?

Xiahou Zhang sighed inwardly that he didn't understand the world of young people, so he left the table early, leaving Jiang Cheng and the others to eat and drink as they pleased.

In the end, Xie Cangxing had to forcibly drag Xia away, otherwise she really would have eaten from tonight until tomorrow morning.

As night fell, the four of them returned to their respective guest rooms. Once everyone was asleep, they quietly left their rooms and headed straight for Xiahou Jinxuan's room.

The group reunited and, led by Xiahou Jinxuan, found Xiahou Tao's room.

At that moment, a dim light emanated from the room, and the faint sound of voices could be heard.

"Your Majesty, have you located the Shennong Cauldron in the Divine Land?"

“There is some information, but there are other people here who are also looking for the whereabouts of the Shennong Cauldron. Among them is a guy with Yin-Yang eyes who is very powerful. I suffered a great loss at his hands.”

"Your Majesty, please take care of your health. The Yaksha Kingdom cannot bear the loss of you."

"Haha, with the Grand Elder here, it doesn't matter if I suddenly die in battle one day. I believe you will handle everything well."

"Your Majesty, please don't make such a joke..."

The two exchanged barbs, one openly and the other covertly. Even though the other was his own uncle, Long Ming still harbored suspicions about the ambitious Mo Yi.

Just as Mo Yi was about to continue speaking, his expression suddenly changed. The next second, the door was pushed open, and Xiahou Jinxuan slowly walked in.

"Should I call you Second Uncle, or Kumu, or perhaps... Grand Elder Moyi of the Yaksha Kingdom?" (End of Chapter)
