This doesn't mean that being one of the Four Minor Sword Saints of Japan is a high-risk profession, or that the title is not valuable.
Actually, this honorary title is quite prestigious, and the further back in time one goes, the more prestigious it becomes.
But Hashimoto Otsuka appears only once every three to five years, and even when he does, there is barely any information about him.
Thus, he didn't become the leader of this generation's Four Minor Sword Saints of Japan.
However, astute observers understand that Ping Shanhe has some gaps compared to Hashimoto Otsuka.
In Hashimoto Otsuka's words, Ping Shanhe is only fit to watch the door for him.
This time, Hashimoto Otsuka came to settle accounts with Su Fan, and he didn't come discreetly.
Not only did Hashimoto Otsuka not come discreetly, but he engaged in behavior art.
He announced on the dark web that he would be landing in Zhejiang and heading directly to Yang City where Su Fan is located.
