Ziyuan's expression was resolute. "Believe me, everything I said is true."
"That's good, but what if the person who's supposed to meet you doesn't have that much money with them?"
"Impossible... Shouldn't all the ninjas in Konoha be quite wealthy?"
Hearing Shion's uncertain words, Tamamo Hotaru's heart, which had just been at ease, jumped back into her throat. She looked completely bewildered, her eyes wide open.
You're only saying this to me now?!
"Zhao! You've really gotten me into trouble this time!"
Tamamo Hotaru stomped her foot in anger and left as well.
. . . . . . .
Although the Bird Country is in another direction, Shinji and the others' direction of travel remains unchanged for the time being.
The route needed to be changed after the victims were taken to the village.
With several burdens to carry, the pace of progress was indeed slow.
Hidan had a sour look on his face, clearly annoyed.
I've wanted to get the Bloodstained March Scythe several times...
Then Shinji knocked him on the head.
What are you doing!
"Take it easy, you're scaring my guest!"
"whispering sound..."
Ziyuan is increasingly convinced that her initial guess might have been wrong, because these guys really don't seem like good people.
Is her ability to judge people really that bad?
But now that she's already on the wrong path, it's hard to back out.
However, things weren't as bad as he had imagined.
Because no matter what wild beasts or monsters they encountered along the way, they were all easily dealt with by Sasuke, the youngest member of the team.
They even encountered a group of ignorant bandits along the way, and were all killed.
Then I heard some bad news.
Before the bandits found them, they encountered several other women.
As for the fate of those women, no one inquired about it in detail.
Ziyuan simply sighed.
Reality is cruel; sometimes, a single, unintentional choice can determine one's destiny.
If they could do it all over again, they might regret making that choice.
After dealing with the bandits, the group continued their journey.
Sunset Village.
After Shinji and the others finally brought the person out, they learned the name of the village they were in.
After a brief conversation with the village chief, he agreed to settle the women down first and send them back to their homes when the opportunity arose.
If anyone doesn't want to go back, they can stay here.
After all, young women are a scarce resource, and so many bachelors in the village are eyeing them longingly.
These women didn't seem to have any aversion to this.
After resolving the matter, Shinji did not linger for long, resting for only one day before setting off again.
This time, the destination is the Bird Country, which Shion is going to.
. . . . . .
a few days later.
Using the faint connection between the monster's soul and body, Sancho successfully found the place in the Swamp Country where the monster's body was sealed.
Looking at the ancient ancestral hall in front of her, Shanhu knew that the demon's physical body was sealed here.
But then, he was left with no choice.
A massive lava fist slammed into the ancestral hall.
Things like seals can either be opened with a 'key' or broken by brute force.
This idea is correct, but many seals are interconnected and difficult to break through by force.
boom!
A bowl-shaped protective shield suddenly appeared outside the ancestral hall, which remained unshaken despite the lava fist striking it.
This proves that the seal here is extremely strong.
"let me."
Mr. Di's voice rang out immediately, and the third eye suddenly opened.
Annihilation Spell: Return to Nothingness!
A gray, transparent beam of light shot out from the third eye and struck the protective shield outside the ancestral hall.
This time, things have finally changed.
The protective shield began to fluctuate violently, its light flickering, as if it could be destroyed at any moment.
But Mr. Enemy suddenly stopped his attack.
"What's wrong? Aren't we about to break the seal?" Shanhu asked, puzzled.
"No, we can't open the seal this way."
Mr. Di sounded somewhat annoyed.
[Chapter 465 Connecting the Seal]
Just now, Mr. Enemy sensed the intense struggle emanating from the demon's soul.
It seems that if this continues, it will cause some kind of irreversible damage.
Mr. Di did not act impulsively and stopped attacking.
He speculated that the seal was likely connected to the demon's physical body, or even used the demon's physical body as its core energy source.
Therefore, each of his attacks was actually weakening the monster's physical strength.
In the worst-case scenario, if he forcibly breaks the seal, the monster's physical body will also be damaged.
It must be said that Mr. Di's guess was quite accurate.
The Miroku priestess sealed the demon's body here in an attempt to continuously extract its power and eventually destroy it.
Therefore, without the correct method to break the seal, forcibly breaking it will only destroy everything.
Mr. Di, realizing this, was very unhappy.
But he couldn't retaliate.
From the very beginning, the other party told him that he needed to find a priestess named Shion in order to get what he wanted.
However, the priestess Shion seemed to have sensed the danger beforehand and fled.
This led him to 'cleverly' come to the Swamp Country.
"If we forcefully destroy it, the physical body of the demon sealed inside will likely be destroyed as well. Therefore, we must find that priestess."
"Huh? Doesn't that mean we've gone in circles and come full circle? At this point, where are we supposed to look?"
Shanhu was speechless. Wasn't this just making things difficult for Fat Tiger?
“Go back to the Land of Demons. Since it’s a transaction, no one can take advantage of me.”
Mr. Di also became ruthless.
If that woman named 'Death' dares to deny it, then he's not someone to be trifled with.
. . . . . .
"Well..."
Just as the shrine in the Land of Swamps was about to be destroyed, Shion suddenly felt a pang of heart palpitation and couldn't help but press her hand to her chest.
"what happened to you?"
Tamamo Hotaru asked nervously, seemingly afraid that Shion might just pass away.
Because if anything goes wrong, she'll be completely finished!
Selling her to the Hidden Cloud Village is not just talk!
"Someone just attacked the seal my mother left behind. They must be trying to completely resurrect the demon."
Ziyuan's expression was very serious, and her eyes concealed unease and anxiety.
"Oh no? What do we do now? Isn't it too late?"
Tamamo Hotaru was also numb.
How did saving the world end up costing me my life?
Ziyuan shook her head. "It seems the other party has stopped trying to break the seal by force, because if the seal is forcibly broken, the demon sealed inside will be severely injured instantly. This may not be the result they want."
"Phew, that's good."
"The bad news is that only I can break the seal left by my mother, which means that from now on, the other side will be searching for me like a madman."
"Uh...that's really bad news. But don't worry, since he's taken your case, Shinji won't abandon you. Don't let their appearance fool you, they don't exactly look like good people, well, they really aren't. But...uh, I mean, they're all very capable. With them around, no one can take you away."
Hearing this, Ziyuan was both amused and exasperated. "Are you sure you're trying to comfort me?"
"Oh, that's not important. Just relax. Instead of worrying about those enemies who want to release monsters, you should pray that the person who's picking you up brings plenty of money, otherwise we'll both be in big trouble."
"It can't be that bad..."
