I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

In the end, he had no choice but to cooperate with them.

So you're afraid of me!

"There's no need to be so blunt."

Seimei did not deny that he had arranged everything so perfectly, but in the end, it was all destroyed by Byakuya, and he even died in that incident.

He felt a growing fear towards Bai Ye; Bai Ye was right, he was indeed afraid.

That's why they would seek cooperation with these people without any dignity.

"But before we get to that, I think we can actually choose to cooperate."

Seimei had indeed thought about this matter. Compared to cooperating with those gods, it would be better to cooperate with Byakuya, at least the other party was a smart person like himself.

"Shall we cooperate?"

Bai Ye smiled.

What is this guy thinking?

He once wanted to kill me.

How dare they come to me seeking cooperation now?

Why would Seimei think he would choose to cooperate with him?

"That's right, when I return from the underworld, we'll rule this world together, and when the time is right, we'll storm Takamagahara and seize the divine positions of those gods!"

Seimei also revealed his ambition.

Rather than becoming a dog for those gods, he would rather cooperate with Byakuya. In time, they could storm Takamagahara together and take everything from those guys.

"Why do you think I need you to fight my way up there? I can manage on my own. You can go to hell with those guys!"

"That's really surprising!"

Seimei shrugged and didn't say anything more.

Since Bai Ye ultimately chose not to cooperate.

He couldn't possibly beg Bai Ye relentlessly; he had already lost his dignity once, and he didn't want to lose it a second time.

He didn't say anything more and returned directly to the Shikon Jewel.

Since Bai Ye has refused his cooperation, it's impossible for him to leave now.

All I can do is pray that Naraku can open the gates to the underworld so that I can get out.

With Seimei's problem solved, Byakuya turned directly to Kikyo and said, "Give me the Shikon Jewel. This is not something you can handle!"

Kikyo is very strong, but she simply can't handle these things.

This matter has clearly gone beyond Kikyo's ability to handle.

From their conversation, Kikyo understood what was going on.

"So this involves everyone now?"

Kikyo asked a question.

Although I know that I may not be able to participate in this matter given my abilities.

But she couldn't help but ask one question.

It seems that God does not love people!

Thinking of this, Kikyo hesitated for only a moment before deciding to listen to Byakuya and hand over the Shikon Jewel to him.

He couldn't purify the Shikon Jewel on his own.

"probably."

Byakuya took the Shikon Jewel from Kikyo and then sealed Seimei within it, preventing him from ever appearing again.

"So, will Seimei ultimately still lift the seal on the Sacred Tree?"

"Well, he can't cooperate with me, so we'll have to break the seal. After all, he's cooperating with those guys now, and they must have given him some benefits. Let's go find Seimei first!"

Upon hearing Baiye's reply, Cuizi immediately prepared to leave and quickly deal with Qingming.

From what was said before, we know that Seimei should be coming out soon.

"I want to work with you to solve this."

"you?"

Bai Ye was somewhat surprised; it seemed unnecessary for Kikyo to be with them, right?

“The sacred tree is right here in my village. If Seimei decides to take action against it, this place will definitely be affected. So I hope I can help. Also, based on what you said before, I don’t want the sacred tree to be destroyed.”

Kikyo explained her reasons for participating simply and clearly.

She is kind-hearted and will not kill a monster unless it is absolutely necessary to kill it. Now that the safety of the world is at stake, she also hopes to do something about it.

Just like how she chose to accept the responsibility of guarding the Shikon Jewel even though she knew it would be a problem.

Even knowing that she might not be able to help much this time, and might even die because of it, isn't this her duty as a shrine maiden to protect everyone?

Should I bring it or not?

Faced with this question, Bai Ye fell into deep thought.

He glanced at Cui Zi subconsciously, but when he looked over, Cui Zi was also observing Bai Ye. Seeing that Bai Ye was looking at her, Cui Zi said nonchalantly, "You decide for yourself, don't worry about my opinion."

Cui Zi believes that Bai Ye is free to make his own decision about this matter, and there is no need for him to change anything because of her.

If you want to bring it, then bring it; if you don't want to, then simply refuse.

If you don't have any other thoughts in mind, why should you look at yourself?

Kikyo possesses strong spiritual power and is skilled in close combat, while the bow and arrows she carries on her back are likely for ranged support.

Sometimes, she couldn't help Byakuya on her own, and if Kikyo were to join in, Midori thought things might be better.

Therefore, she actually approves of Kikyo joining the group.

"I won't hold anyone back!"

"That's really strange. Why would you believe the words of a monster like me?"

Bai Ye found it strange. He seemed to have only exchanged a few words with Seimei, but judging from Kikyo's actions, she seemed to have great faith in his actions.

This also puzzled Bai Ye. Why would Kikyo trust him so much?

"Because I can sense the other person's goodwill and malice."

"."

As soon as Kikyo finished speaking, Byakuya looked at Midori behind him in surprise. Are these the kinds of things that shrine maidens like to say?

It seems like that's what Midori said to herself when they first met, right?

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 249 Kikyo? She's just a woman who longs for love!

"Is this the power of the greatest Onmyoji of the Heian period? Even the remaining power has made me so much stronger. How powerful must the White Yaksha who defeated him be?!"

Inside Heian-kyo.

Having obtained Seimei's power, Naraku is now marveling at its immense strength.

He had initially thought that someone who had been dead for so long could have retained much power.

That way, he can become stronger, and when the time comes, he probably won't be able to do it himself.

Even Naraku's first thought was to gain something from it and try his best to save his own life.

It's not me who's now at odds with Bai Ye.

Why should he be the one to stick his neck out?

Onigumo wanted Kikyo, but he wasn't Naraku. He wanted to become a demon, a demon who could control everything, so he shouldn't have any other thoughts or try to change everything here.

As long as you're alive, there's always a chance.

"but."

Naraku muttered to himself, but before he could finish speaking, a huge door suddenly rose from the ground in front of him. Seeing this, Naraku's face turned ugly, and his unease rose.

I was used!

Naraku knew perfectly well that Seimei was probably using him to open the gates of hell.

Right

This is something that only brings benefits but requires no effort, something Seimei would never do. Even though they had just met, Naraku knew very well that Seimei was not a fool.

I was too naive before, so who is coming out from behind this door now?

Seimei returned from hell?

"I never expected them to return in this way."

Seimei!!?

Naraku heard that familiar voice and looked up at the person who walked out of the gates of the underworld.

His face had a touch of delicate features, but the evil emanating from the thick black aura around him made even Naraku tremble with fear.

He probably could kill himself with ease, right?

It seems I need to change my strategy!

Naraku originally intended to benefit from both sides and see if he would have the opportunity to gain more in the end.

But now it's obviously impossible for him to slip away.

Seimei's gaze fell on himself; he knew he couldn't escape.

"It's still a bit too weak."

Seimei remained silent for a long time, observed for a while, and finally said tactfully about Naraku's strength.

But if we follow his original idea, he actually wanted to say directly that Naraku was weak.
