This heroine is so despicable

Hanasari took a step forward gracefully:

"As I said before, I did inherit Kitsaigong's memories, but... I am not her follower like the Sky Fox or Earth Fox mentioned before."

"The only thing that is certain is that in the disaster, Kitsusai-miya fought against the dark disaster in order to protect Ming Shen Island, and was eventually swallowed up by the disaster. The disaster that devoured her was eventually killed, and her thoughts and memories returned to the land of Ming Shen Island..."

She looked at Xing, Ying and Paimon:

"Do you remember the 'fallen warriors' that you two killed during the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura? This body... is actually a different kind of life formed by the condensation of filth, just like those monsters. However, I, Hanasanri, am the filth formed by the thoughts and memories of Kitsune-sama."

Yae Shinto lowered his eyes slightly, obviously having guessed it long ago.

Ying and Xing had the same reaction, both frowned, while Paimon couldn't help but cover his mouth:

"How...how could this happen?"

【I see……】

Hua Sanli bowed slightly to the others:

"I'm really sorry that I couldn't act and fight with you two before... Because I am filthy myself, I can't purify the other evil monsters."

"So I always think - if... there were two such people around Lady Kitsai-gū, maybe she could have survived..."

Seeing the atmosphere turning sad again, Xing immediately raised his hand:

"Okay! I understand everything! So... although Miss Hanasari is not Kitsune Saigū herself, but... there is no harm, right? Although you call yourself an evil monster, you haven't lost your mind like those 'fallen warriors' and cut down anyone you see, right?"

Hua Sanli shook her head slightly again:

"Yes, but...it's not that simple."

"That's right. The source of the filthy power is right below the Shadow Mountain. If you want to purify the miasma, you must perform the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura..."

The Goddess at the side walked forward and came to the cliff. She looked at the frenzied lightning elements and the miasma-filled lake below and said in a lonely tone:

"And Miss Hanasari is filthy in herself... If the ritual is completed..."

Paimon's heart ached immediately:

"So... does that mean Miss Hanasari will also be... purified?"

[What this means is... Hanasari and Miasa are deeply tied together? ]

Xing immediately asked:

"Is there no other way? Since the exorcism will kill me, why not just not do it?"

Hua Sanli shook her head:

"No, the accumulated evil has condensed into a huge 'tumor' in the deepest part of Yingxiang Mountain. Now, this filth is tightly entangled and suppressed by the roots of the Divine Cherry... If it is not dealt with, the 'tumor' will eventually burst, the Divine Cherry will completely die, and Mingshen Island will also usher in a new disaster..."

Xing immediately said:

"Then destroy those disasters! With Ying and I here, no matter how big the problem is, it won't be a problem!"

[This is the confidence that the star core and the power of destiny bring me! ]

"I... thank you very much for your kindness. I also believe in your strength, but... it is not so easy for the filthy power to get out of control. If there was someone like you by the side of Lady Kitsai Palace at that time, perhaps she could have survived. What a wonderful thing that would have been... It's a pity..."

Hua Sanli was silent for a few seconds and shook her head again:

"…My two lords, my duty is to protect Narukami Island, purify the miasma, and perform the Great Purification of the Divine Sakura."

"Although before, because the memories of Lady Kitsaigong were mixed with my feelings, and I was something she had to eliminate, I often felt distressed about my own existence... But, after all this journey, I have now let it go."

"I am really happy to have the honor of traveling with you all... No, it is better to say that it is because of your help that I can come here and perform my final duties without any hindrance..."

"—Wait!"

Xing raised his hand, his tone a little anxious and annoyed.

"Although I know it's not the right time to interrupt you, but... I don't think the matter is final yet. Isn't it too early to talk about the final responsibilities now?"

Xing clenched his fist and waved it:

"Since Miss Hanasari is connected to the power of filth, then...can't we find a way to cut off this connection?"

Ying beside him also nodded:

"No, if it's the power of the stars, there must be hope. Why don't we give it a try?"

Paimon also clenched his fists and chimed in:

"Yes, yes! Xinghe Traveler defeated the Whirlpool Demon God easily! This time, they will definitely create a miracle!"

Shen Zi was obviously also very moved. She looked at Hua Sanli and said gently:

"It doesn't hurt to try, right? I know that Miss Hanasari is not Kitsuna, but... I also really hope that you can stay in this world and witness the future of Inazuma with us..."

Under the mask, it was hard to tell what kind of expression Hua Sanli had, but as she looked at the people in front of her, her heart had already been filled with warmth.

But... she also knew that this was just the wishful thinking of the three of them.

The memories and longings of Kitsai Palace were so powerful that even the dark disaster could not completely dispel them, and the blazing filth flowed into the earth along with the defeated disaster.

The Hanasari that was born as a result of this almost perfectly inherited Kitsusai Palace's memory, so... she also knew that this was impossible.

The reason why I can still maintain my sanity now, besides the memory and longing of Master Kitsai, is also because of Shenying's suppression of filth...

Even if the stranger could really cut off this connection, Hanasari would probably gradually lose herself and become like an ordinary filthy monster...

So... everything was already destined, but... there's nothing wrong with it.

Hanasari just said that she has let it go, and this was not a forced smile, but she really thought so.

Although Gobazo was sealed in stone by the God of Weishin, he did not show any sign of depression, nor did he have any resentment towards Kitsai Palace...

Although not as strong as before, the Konda and Shibamon families of Konda Village have continued to this day, and Inashiro Misato of the Great Shrine was also her friend in the past...

These people are the descendants of those whom Master Kitsaigong protected when the disaster occurred. If Master Kitsaigong knew that they were safe and their bloodline was passed on, he would surely be very proud...

So Hua Sanli nodded:

"I haven't known you all for a long time, but I've been able to gain the friendship of Master Xing, Master Ying, and Master Paimon. I... am really very happy to have met you..."

If Master Kitsai-gung had the opportunity to meet you, it would be such a wonderful thing...

Hanasari looked down at the lake:

"Then... let's begin this final purification of the sacred cherry blossoms and put an end to all this..."

Volume 195: The Immortal Body Has an End, the World and the Human World: Pioneers are so powerful and so stubborn!

"From the Whale Abyss in the east to the Ash Sea in the west. From the Flame Light in the south to the Weak Water in the north..."

"Thousands of branches and veins, please eliminate the disaster..."

Hanasari and Kamiko, together they lifted the seal on the large lake at the bottom of Mt. Kagemukai.

As the water level slowly dropped, the huge cave at the bottom of the lake was completely revealed.

Paimon was still looking around, hesitating whether it was safe to jump down like this. Xing had already picked up Ying in one hand, and held Paimon in the other hand, and jumped out suddenly.

"I'll go ahead! See you down there~"

"Waaaaah! Wait for me!"

The strong wind was whistling in his ears, and as the altitude decreased, Xing soon felt a tingling sensation on the surface of his body - the miasma here was as terrifying as nuclear radiation.

Letting Yingmei hug him, Xingteng stretched out his hand and cut out the flame spear, and immediately put a shield on the three of them, and the numb feeling immediately disappeared.

A few seconds later, as the three of them landed on the earth vein, Xing landed in a handsome superhero style, then looked around and found that they had arrived in a huge space.

In the very center of here, three thick roots meandered from different directions, tightly entwining and binding a black and purple core.

This core is as big as a house and is constantly pulsating like a heart. Combined with the black miasma that keeps gushing out, it gives people a very uncomfortable feeling of vitality, as if it will break free from its restraints in the next second.

"Good...good big 'tumor'!"

Paimon exclaimed.

"Besides...it's in mid-air. How are we going to hit it?"

[How about throwing your flaming spear like a javelin? Here's a charged Q]

It doesn't feel good.

The next second, Xing stood in front of Ying and Paimon - because the filthy nodule seemed to sense the intruder, it kept separating some substances of the same color from its body. Except for a part that flew towards Xing and the others like a tracking rocket, the rest was scattered around like flowers scattered by a fairy.

As soon as these substances fell to the ground, they quickly condensed into fallen warriors covered in black and purple. Compared with those they had encountered before, these filthy monsters looked even more terrifying.

One of them was an exceptionally tall figure, and he rushed forward with a katana, but Xing raised his spear and blocked the blade firmly. The flaming spears and katana of both sides continued to emit bright sparks.

Xing sneered: "Looks like we have to clear out the miscellaneous soldiers first?"

"Paimon, get behind me!"

Ying, who also had his sword drawn, was shouting at Paimon when several purple bolts of lightning descended from the sky, splitting several fallen warriors apart.

Yae Kamiko held Hanasari's waist with one hand and gracefully descended to the ground. She flicked her fingers lightly, and several fox-like lightning shadows condensed and turned into afterimages, biting the enemy in front.

"You are really impatient, but... never mind, leave these monsters that have spawned to me and her. Traveler, please light those stone lanterns like you did before and consolidate the suppression of the root of the divine cherry blossom."

Hanasari also pointed out the direction to Ying:

"This time, please let me assist you. I still remember the order of the seals here."

Except for Paimon who was responsible for cheering, the remaining four people had clear division of labor and quickly covered Yingmei to complete the first round of reinforced seal. During this period, the Filthy Tuberculosis continued to create wave after wave of enemies to try to stop them.

The filthy nodules floating in the air fell heavily, and Xing immediately walked forward with the shield on to try to study it.

"How can we cut off its connection with the divine cherry? Cut off three branches!?"

Hua Sanli immediately shook her head:

"Absolutely not! Filth is formed by the accumulation of injuries, pain and evil thoughts on the earth! It is all thanks to the roots of the sacred cherry blossoms that they exert the power of 'leaving filth' to absorb and purify it. These... are the lesions that have accumulated over time. Without the suppression of the sacred cherry blossoms, it will immediately spread along the earth veins - plagues are rampant, evil generals are domineering, hundreds of demons are jumping around... These terrible things will happen on Ming Shen Island!"

[So Shenying is similar to an air purifier? ]

"Is there any other way to safely remove this tumor?!"

Hua Sanli shook her head:

"To remove these filth, different places have different ways of doing it. In Liyue, there are immortals, alchemists, etc. But Inazuma used to rely on the divine cherry blossoms..."

At this moment, even though it was knocked to the ground, the filthy nodule was still struggling. It continuously formed wave after wave of monsters to attack the few people. In addition to the fallen warriors, there were also all other strange-looking monsters, but to the few people, the threat was not too great.

"Please continue to destroy these filthy monsters."

Hua Sanli said.

"The current method is correct. The struggle of the Filthy Nodule is constantly consuming its own strength. According to past experience, only three rounds of rituals are needed to strengthen the seal. With the power of the Divine Sakura, it will be completely exorcised."

"Then you have none too!"

Xing shouted in annoyance, and at the same time, he shot back a fallen warrior, but did not choose to kill him outright.

[This won't work. Hanasari is ready to die. Once the tumor's power is exhausted and sealed by the divine cherry blossom, she will disappear! ]

"Then... can you only exorcise half of it!?"

Ying, who was standing by, also repelled a fallen warrior and asked loudly:

"Perhaps we just need to control the filth to a certain level so that it won't affect the ley lines of Kamizakura and Inazuma, and Miss Hanasari won't disappear!"

[Right! Isn’t it okay to do a sustainable purification? ? ]

Xingye just thought this was a good idea when he suddenly noticed that the light in front of him was getting brighter and brighter for some reason.

She turned her head and saw that the filthy nodule in front of her was trembling slightly, and the purple light inside it became more and more powerful, as if it was accumulating energy for something.

“Everyone, disperse!!”

As soon as Xing shouted, he felt his whole body submerged in the purple light the next second - and from the perspective of other people behind him, they saw a torrent of energy with a radius of more than one person erupting from the nodule, completely engulfing the figure of Xing who was closest to it.

The power of this attack was so great that it was comparable to the breath of Doomsday Beast. The thick beam of light bombarded the rock wall behind, and immediately made a terrible noise like an earth-shaking movement.

"star!?"

"brat!?"

Fortunately, as the light and smoke dissipated, Xing was still holding the flaming spear, standing firm in her position in a half-kneeling position - this somewhat surprised him, because this seemed to be the most serious damage to her shield since she came to Teyvat.

“Interesting… hehe… interesting! Hahahahahaha!!!”

Xing felt his protective power gradually fading away, and another more violent and domineering force began to become restless, like a ferocious beast that had been provoked.

[Just now, I was hit by the "Soul Torrent", and I felt a part of the essence of its power... I have a plan that may be able to save Hanasari, but... Pioneer, this may involve some risks for us.]
