The current priestess of the Demon Kingdom named Shion.

"Monsters, priestesses, and precognitive abilities—I must say, it's truly beyond my imagination that a mere Land of Demons could possess such special powers."

The two people standing opposite each other.

The girl named Shion looked at Menma with obvious curiosity the moment Menma stepped in.

Menma's gaze swept around before settling on Shion, and he spoke with a slightly surprised tone.

If I absolutely have to say something.

According to Mianma.

The spirits are indeed special beings similar to the Grim Reaper and the evil god, but compared to the latter two, the spirits are slightly lower in level. However, this only proves the special nature of this planet. You know, when the Otsutsuki planted trees on other planets, almost all of them died after planting. Only on this planet, the Divine Tree had completely stored up all the energy it could absorb, and produced a chakra fruit with the highest limit. This planet has not only not been destroyed, but these special beings can still exist.

Based on this inference...

Menma could easily imagine how prosperous the planet's unique cultivation civilization must have been before the arrival of the Otsutsuki, an extraterrestrial race. He probably imagined that there were even more special beings a thousand years ago.

"The existence of Lord Tianying is truly beyond my expectations. In my premonition, Lord Tianying's future seems to be constantly changing, shrouded in dark clouds. Although my premonition can only detect a part of the content related to me, or even information directly related to my death, as long as it involves Lord Tianying, it seems that everything is unfathomable."

Unlike in the original work, when he met Naruto and Neji, he didn't act so arrogantly and rudely.

At this moment, facing Menma, Shion adopted a completely elegant and noble demeanor, looking at Menma with a very solemn expression, and said word by word.

In fact, this is Shion's most normal form. As someone who was raised from the time she could remember to be the next generation of priestess, that is, the de facto ruler of the Land of Demons, Shion could never be like a girl born into an ordinary family. Her upbringing and her temperament are extraordinary.

Whether it's real or fake.

This is the true form that Shion should have as the priestess of the Land of Demons.

In the original story, it was simply because Naruto infected Shion.

"I have never really believed in so-called prophecies. It's not that I completely reject them, but I just think that the prophecies you talk about are just possibilities that have a relatively high probability of happening in the future. To put it simply, it's like a journey that leads to a fork in the road. Different roads lead to different directions, and each road is the future we choose. Before we actually arrive at that future, no one can be sure what their future will be."

Mianma smiled gently and said.

Shion's lips twitched slightly, and she subconsciously wanted to refute something, but she forcibly swallowed it back. If it were before Menma arrived, Shion would have firmly believed in her prophecy, because in the past, her prophecies had never been wrong. Time and time again, she had made prophecies and watched others die. The girl, who was nearly fifteen or sixteen years old, had long since sealed her heart away.

But the noodles are truly different.

A future that is completely unpredictable.

Let's leave the other parts aside, since they're unrelated to her. Shion couldn't possibly see the future of others that was unrelated to her. Her prophetic abilities always required a part that was closely connected to her, and it was always related to death.

To put it simply, it's about predicting a scenario where you might die in the future, and then predicting a specific person who will die in your place.

This is the true essence of Shion's prophetic abilities; everything else is secondary and not necessarily 100% accurate.

Actually, Menma thought so at first too. The original work had already given a clear answer. However, Ashiho's waiting made Menma have a little doubt again. Who knows, maybe a big change is coming?

But now it seems that it is still no different from the original work. This priestess can only foresee things related to herself, and it has to be the kind that is life and death. Perhaps her arrival triggered some kind of debuff?

It's more likely that this is just a guess about a certain time period?

Mianma was already pretty close to guessing.

In fact, Azusa had been waiting there for two full days. It wasn't that she was waiting there precisely. Shion couldn't give such a precise prediction. If she really had that kind of ability, then Shion would be truly terrifying.

After a brief silence.

Shion also spoke up, "Lord Tenkage, your target in our Land of Demons must be the Wraith, right?"

"Hehe, this should be the reason why you invited me here, Princess. After all, the power of the demon is actually two sides of the same coin as the power of you priestesses throughout the ages. You can seal it, but you may not be able to kill it, or the price you would have to pay is something you cannot bear."

"Lord Tianying is not wrong."

When Shion heard Menma's words, her expression changed slightly. After all, she was just a girl of about ten years old, and it was impossible for her to have any cunning. Facing Menma, who was now considered the number one ninja in the world and could be said to be the de facto ruler of the entire world, Shion's performance was already commendable.

"So, take me to the altar where the demon is sealed. Let's deal with the demon's soul first, and then find its body. This time, let's completely eliminate the demon."

Mianma relaxed slightly and said with a faint smile.

"Is Lord Tianying truly certain that he can defeat the Wraith?"

Hearing Mianma's words.

Shion also stood up, looking at Menma with a very serious expression and asked.

Wraith!

The biggest hidden danger in the Land of Demons.

It is an existence that successive priestesses have had to exert all their power to suppress, and it is also the ultimate terrifying existence that successive priestesses believe could destroy the world if released.

But this is only the perspective of the priestesses throughout history.

"Heh heh, Your Highness, who do you think is standing before you right now?"

Mianma rarely revealed a flamboyant smile, and at the same time, a dazzling halo of light flashed in his eyes.

A powerful aura then rippled outwards.

This feeling of facing things head-on.

Even Shion, who was protected by special powers, showed a look of great horror. At this moment, Menma in front of her seemed to have become an extremely terrifying existence.

It was countless times more terrifying than the demons and monsters 'seen' in one's inherited memories.

Chapter 590 The Demons Beneath the Altar

In an extremely remote and desolate basin, there is a huge underground palace. This is the place built by the priestess of the Demon Kingdom after she suppressed the demon and forcibly separated the demon's soul from its body. It was specifically built to seal the demon's soul.

The surrounding area is further protected by a unique sealing technique personally set up by the priestess.

Ordinary people would not be able to easily step inside.

Moreover, the innermost part, the place specifically used to bind the souls of demons, is not a place that ordinary humans can enter. Without the power of a priestess, anyone who enters will be invaded by a special power within.

Therefore, this giant palace didn't need any real defense. The guards outside the underground palace were only there to prevent ordinary people and creatures from accidentally entering, not to actually protect the monsters inside.

In the original story, the only one who could traverse the entire underground palace and even walk the 'Road to the Underworld' to retrieve the soul of the demon was a human named Huang Quan who had once borne the power of the demon.

Mianma's first stop is here to deal with the spirit of the demon.

Although most of the power, or rather the original power, of the demon should reside within his body, his soul also possesses high research and devouring value. Mianma would never waste even the slightest bit of it.

"Heh heh, so this is where the soul of the demon is sealed? That's quite a grand undertaking."

Standing atop a high point outside the palace, Mianma's senses, which spread freely, allowed him to easily detect the scale of the underground palace and the undead legion sealed within.

With such close proximity, Menma can more accurately determine that neither the shrine maiden nor the demon is using chakra.

Or perhaps it was only a small fraction of his power.

The power that exists within priestesses and spirits.

It is a power that is similar to natural energy, but also somewhat different. It can only be said that this world is truly amazing, capable of giving birth to so many extraordinary beings.

"Yes, there is a special sealing technique inside. It contains not only the soul of the demon, but also the undead ghost army that he created back then. Apart from me, who has the power of a priestess, anyone else who goes in will easily be swallowed up by the special power sealed inside."

Ziyuan stood barefoot to the side, replying softly with a strange expression.

As a contemporary shrine maiden.

Ziyuan had never actually seen the demon. She was just born when the demon was suppressed. All the information about the demon came from her mother. Therefore, if you had to say, the demon was a very familiar yet strange existence to Ziyuan.

This is the first time Ziyuan has visited this enormous underground sealed palace.

"You guys stay outside. No matter what happens inside, you can't go in, and you're not allowed to let anyone else interfere with what's happening inside, understand?"

Menma turned his head and looked at Wugou and the others in the seats behind him.

"Yes, Lord Tenkage!"

Wu Gou and the other shadow guards immediately bowed and saluted.

"Ashiho, you should stay outside too."

Ziyuan spoke calmly to the bespectacled young man with pockmarked face who had come to greet her earlier, looking clearly travel-worn and exhausted.

This trip was originally planned.

There was no need for this guard to accompany them. Although from an ordinary person's perspective, this guard's combat strength was already very strong, in front of ninjas, the so-called guard's combat strength was a joke, not to mention such a long journey. Ordinary people could not possibly keep up with the speed of ninjas.

This is why Mianma slowed down, since it wasn't anything urgent. Otherwise, in the blink of an eye, the guard wouldn't even have seen their backs.

Even so, the slowed speed is not something an ordinary person can keep up with, which shows that this guard from the Land of Demons has very good basic qualities.

This is an incredibly stubborn yet incredibly loyal and responsible guard.

Mianma actually admires people like that.

"Yes, Your Highness Shion."

Zu Sui immediately bowed and replied.

"Let's go, Your Highness the Priestess."

Mianma said with a light laugh.

"Ah."

Ziyuan nodded gently.

Then.

Facial numbness is caused by making a hand gesture with one hand.

"Buzz!"

A powerful chakra spread out, almost tangible, and under Menma's control, it attached itself to Shion's body.
