Demon Hunter and His Cabin
Chapter 678 - Chapter 678 Chapter 572 True Understanding of Swordsmanship

Chapter 678: Chapter 572 True Understanding of Swordsmanship Chapter 678: Chapter 572 True Understanding of Swordsmanship The courtyard gates were wide open.

Yatagarasu Akiryu stood at the entrance, his mountainous frame blocking the light from outside. He was standing there alone, yet it felt as if his shadow engulfed the entire courtyard.

Roger didn’t believe that Yatagarasu Akiryu had come to him just because of the minor conflict from yesterday. He walked over silently, and before he could speak, Yatagarasu Akiryu said directly,

“Your adoptive father wants to see you.”

“What’s the matter?”

The voice came from behind Yatagarasu Akiryu. Roger looked in the direction of the voice to find that Yatagarasu Kensumi, accompanied by Yuuki Nao, had arrived near the courtyard without notice.

Yatagarasu Akiryu turned his head to glance back, his expression unchanged.

“Since you are also here, let’s go together,” he said.

“We’re heading up the mountain.”

Yatagarasu Kensumi gave Roger a questioning look, but Roger just helplessly shrugged his shoulders. Without further exchange, the two followed Yatagarasu Akiryu up the mountain.

As for Yuuki Nao, she naturally wasn’t qualified to go.

In the room, Sword Master Cold Crow still had the same lethargic demeanor as a dying old man.

However, this time, there was nothing on the table in front of him. Sword Master Cold Crow’s withered palm lay open on the table, his hand moving along the grain as though feeling for the specific age of the wood.

“You’ve both arrived,” said Sword Master Cold Crow without looking up, “someone went to the villa halfway up the mountain yesterday without permission.”

He spoke casually. Hearing his words, Roger and Yatagarasu Kensumi exchanged glances, both surprised.

“Meiryu, you know the rules; I need an explanation,” he said.

“Adoptive father, this is due to my negligence,” Yatagarasu Akiryu said with his head lowered, speaking solemnly. From Roger’s angle, he could only see his bent body, not the expression on his face.

“Michihiro Morita’s importance goes without saying, and Yukiko is his only relative, so…”

“Adoptive father, please give me some time, I will account for this,” said Yatagarasu Akiryu without any further explanation.

“How long will you need?”

“Just a moment,” he said.

After speaking, Yatagarasu Akiryu bowed respectfully, then left without looking back.

The room fell silent. Roger and Yatagarasu Kensumi didn’t know what to say as Sword Master Cold Crow kept his head down.

A few minutes later, a robust figure stepped briskly through the storm outside the door. Roger didn’t turn his head, but from the corner of his eye, his pupils narrowed slightly.

For in Yatagarasu Akiryu’s hands, he was holding a head with eyes wide open and a pale complexion.

He recognized the man as the one who had claimed to be White Fox at the villa yesterday.

And in just a few minutes, White Fox was dead.

There was no sign of pain on White Fox’s face, only an uncontainable shock that seemed to say he couldn’t believe he had been killed by this man until the last moment of his death.

The wound was clean; not a single drop of blood had spilled.

Yatagarasu Akiryu knelt in front of Sword Master Cold Crow and respectfully placed White Fox’s head on the low table before him.

The size and positioning were just right.

“Adoptive father, it was my lack of control, my failure to teach properly,” he said.

“Please punish me.”

Sword Master Cold Crow said nothing but stared at White Fox’s pale face. “Take it away,” he said, looking up at Roger, “Are you satisfied with this outcome?”

Roger’s eyelids twitched. Although Yatagarasu Akiryu did not look up, Roger believed that at this moment, Yatagarasu Akiryu was not harboring any sense of brotherly friendship.

“Did this old fox discover something and deliberately use me to warn Yatagarasu Akiryu or, is he trying to spur a conflict between me and Yatagarasu Akiryu?”

Roger felt as if he were caught between a rock and a hard place.

If he said he was satisfied, it would be equivalent to accepting enmity with Yatagarasu Akiryu, and if he said he wasn’t, not to mention what Sword Master Cold Crow’s reaction would be, the impulsive Yatagarasu Akiryu might really kill him.

Just when Roger was caught in a dilemma, Yatagarasu Kensumi, who was standing to the side, suddenly spoke, “To prevent similar incidents from happening again, I think it’s very necessary to arrange a new place for them.”

Yatagarasu Kensumi’s sudden interruption allowed Roger to breathe a sigh of relief. Sword Master Cold Crow did not continue to dwell on the issue, instead lightly tapping the table.

“You two handle it,” he said.

“You two”… Roger couldn’t help wanting to curse. At that moment, Yatagarasu Akiryu picked up White Fox’s head, bowed, and said,

“Adoptive father, I’m heading back.”

“Go ahead,” Sword Master Cold Crow replied.

With only the two of them remaining, Yatagarasu Kensumi also bowed and took his leave, while Roger stayed behind.

He still had to continue learning from Sword Master Cold Crow.

On the other side, Yatagarasu Akiryu left the house with a sullen expression. He walked briskly downwards, soon arriving at an open area.

Tall towers and pavilions loomed everywhere. Yatagarasu Akiryu swiftly entered one of the large halls, where a headless corpse lay, surrounded by a group of Cultivators.

“I’m going to say this one last time: without my order, no one…”

Yatagarasu Akiryu’s cold gaze swept over the crowd; at that moment, there was no caution as when he was in front of Sword Master Cold Crow, but rather an explosive killing intent.

“If someone’s making moves behind my back, I will make their life a living hell!”

“Meiryu Lord, you’ve wronged us… this must be a conspiracy; we…”

Someone started to say.

“No need to provoke Kensumi’s people, nor that Roger; he is now the student of the adoptive father. Each of you must address him as ‘lord’ when you see him.”

“What?”

“How long has he been in Hankawa?”

“And what have we done for Sword Pavilion? Without us, how could everything here remain…”
