It seemed to be thinking of something, its eyes filled with longing and a touch of regret.

Hua Jianxue and Hai Ruo exchanged a glance.

Maizuru hugged Hanamiyuki from behind, her full breasts pressing against Hanamiyuki's back, her chin resting on the top of Hanamiyuki's head, and she was also looking at Kashima.

"Grandpa Kashima, it's not good to suddenly get distracted while we're chatting."

Kashima quickly came to his senses.

"Ah, I'm sorry, I'm getting old, and I often think about things from the past."

Hanami Yuki frowned slightly upon hearing this, and asked with some curiosity, "Grandpa Kashima is a spirit, right? I've wanted to ask this for a long time. If Grandpa Kashima is a spirit, how can he get old?"

Moreover, its power does not diminish due to its status as a ghost or god; on the contrary, it becomes quite formidable.

She had always wanted to ask this, but felt it wasn't a good idea, so she never did.

Kashima paused for a moment.

It thought for a moment: "I really haven't thought about this question. If I had to find the reason, it's probably because I'm no longer a pure ghost or god?"

Hanami Yuki nodded, silently keeping Kashima Onijin's words in her heart.

Hai Ruo grabbed Wu He and said, "Let's go, let's go see His Highness and then let him give you a good scolding, you idiot."

Chapter 581 The Divine Witch

Kashima immediately stepped aside, clearing the way to the main hall.

Its body was huge and imposing, almost as tall as the main hall. It blocked the way when it stood in front of the hall. Hai Ruo and Wu He were not even as tall as its calves. If it did not make way, Wu He and Hai Ruo would not be able to enter the main hall at all.

Hanamiyuki nodded to Kashima and then turned to walk into the main hall.

She walked up the steps, entered the hall, and looked towards the center of the hall.

Two young girls were sitting on the tatami mats in the main hall.

They were talking quietly when they saw Hai Ruo pulling Wu He in. They stopped talking and looked at Wu He.

The girl on the left looks to be about eighteen or nineteen years old. She is wearing a white divine robe, the same style as the one she wears as the highest deity, but more fitted and looser.

Even so, it couldn't hide her beautiful figure and full breasts. Her breasts were even fuller than Wu He's, heavily bulging, plump and towering.

Her long hair was the same black as Hanamiyuki's, beautiful and smooth, but even longer than Hanamiyuki's. It cascaded down her shoulders to her waist, stopping just above her waistline, perfectly highlighting the beauty of her waistline.

Although she was only wearing her divine robes and had no other adornments, her appearance was exceptionally beautiful. Bathed in the golden light of divine power, she possessed both an indescribable delicate beauty and an unfathomable sense of majesty.

Hanamiyuki walked past Wuhe and Hairuo, bowed to her, and called out, "Master, I'm back."

The girl on the left, dressed in the white robes of the highest priestess, is none other than Mizuki, the former priestess whom Morikawa Yu had seen in the remnants of history, the highest priestess of the Izumo region.

She looked at Hanamiyuki, smiled, and reached out her hand to her.

Hanami Yuki lowered her head, took two steps forward, and sat down in front of her.

The priestess gently stroked Hanamiyuki's head, looked at her pale face, and asked softly, "Did you lose?"

Hanami Yuki nodded, remaining silent, bracing herself for a scolding.

However, the priestess did not blame her, but gently stroked her hair: "It's okay to lose, it's just a pity about the power shadow I gave you."

"It could have helped you condense your own domain of power, so that even if you didn't want to inherit my power, you could slowly condense the status of the Supreme God. It's a real pity that you failed this time."

"Fortunately, I have been nurturing this power over the years, allowing it to accumulate strength. It can still condense a shadow of power, giving you another chance."

She raised her hand, and golden divine light shone on her forehead, revealing mysterious and intricate patterns.

Soon, she pressed her fingers to her brow.

Golden ripples spread out, and a faint white light gradually condensed, enveloping a somewhat hazy and transparent mark.

"But this is your only chance."

"The Shadow of Power is a manifestation of a portion of the power, and each use requires decades of nurturing."

"Don't fail again."

Hanami Yuki was silent for a moment, then nodded: "I understand, Master."

She raised her face again, her gaze hardening.

The priestess reached out and merged the shadow of power, which was surrounded by a pale white light, into Hanamiyuki's brow. She then touched Hanamiyuki's hair before looking at Maizuru, who was standing at the door.

Meeting the priestess's gaze, Wuhe braced herself and called out, "Master, I'm back too!"

"You're back?" The priestess glanced at the seat next to Masuru.

Apart from Hai Ruo, there was no other person in sight.

She frowned: "Where's Rin?"

Maizuru hesitated for a moment: "Rin... Rin is still at the Karasu Shrine. I couldn't bring Rin back, and that guy named Morikawa even captured me. I barely managed to find a chance to escape..."

"Then, I still have the demonic energy restrictions they left on me."

"My demonic power was suppressed, and I almost fell into the sea. I had to transform into my demonic form to fly back."

The priestess raised an eyebrow.

She stood up, walked slowly to Wuhe, and flicked Wuhe's forehead with her slender finger.

"Idiot, I knew you couldn't do this right."

"You even said you'd definitely bring Rin back, how come you still failed?"

"Waaah~ Master," Wuhe covered her head, tears welling up in her beautiful pale golden eyes: "Why do you comfort Xue-chan when she loses, but scold me when I lose? You can be a little gentler with me too."

"That's because the snow is still young. You're over a thousand years old, and you still don't understand anything?"

“Master, you can’t compare humans to us yokai. I’m only a little over a thousand years old. Among the high-ranking yokai of the long-lived species, I’m still considered a child. I’m much younger than Yuki-chan.”

The priestess narrowed her eyes: "Idiot, are you still talking back to me?"

"If that's really how you want to be, then don't let Xue call you 'sister,' you should just call her 'sister' instead."

Upon hearing this, Wuhe hesitated for a moment. She turned to look at Hanamiyuki, who was sitting obediently behind the shrine maiden, and called out in a sweet voice, "Sister Yuki-chan, Sister Yuki-chan, please help me! Don't let Master scold me."

Even Hai Ruo couldn't stand it anymore and looked at Wu He with disdain.

The priestess laughed in exasperation.

While she released her divine power to search for the demonic power restriction that Fei Yue had placed on Wu He, she pinched Wu He's cheeks and gently pulled them apart.

With tears welling in her eyes, Wuhe looked pitiful, her fair face being kneaded, making her appear both cute and comical.

Soon, the priestess found the demonic power that Hiigetsu had left in Maizuru's body.

When Fei Yue suppressed Wu He's demonic power, she didn't use much demonic power; she simply casually placed a demonic power restriction.

The priestess found the demonic power and used her divine power to counteract it, guiding it to Wuhe's chest, where it slowly dissipated. Wuhe felt both itchy and painful in her chest and couldn't help but groan.

Suddenly, the priestess paused, her gaze falling on Maizuru's arm and forehead.

She frowned slightly: "Idiot, you're back, but why did you bring all the guys who were chasing you back with you?"

Wuhe was taken aback: "Huh? I brought back the person who was chasing me too?"

"where is it?"

"it's here."

The priestess released Maizuru's face and pointed to the spot on Maizuru's arm and forehead.

Right on Wuhe's forehead, there was a strange power that she sensed, and it was very well hidden. If she hadn't removed the demonic power restriction from Wuhe, pinched Wuhe's face, and been so close to Wuhe, she wouldn't have noticed it at all.

"what?"

Wuhe was stunned: "How did it get on my face?"

"Could it be that guy also knows illusion magic and is hiding right under my nose?"

“No, that’s not it.” The priestess shook her head. “It’s just that someone left an aura on you, and it’s still emitting power fluctuations. If I’m not mistaken, someone is using it to find your location.”

Maizuru stared blankly at the priestess.

She had no recollection of having something left on her face.

During her visit to Karasu Shrine, apart from Morikawa Yu touching her forehead, no one else touched her.

The priestess was too lazy to explain to Wuhe, that idiot. She simply reached out her hand, pressed her fingers against Wuhe's brow, and released her divine power.

With a gentle flick of her finger, light flashed between Wu He's brows.

The strange aura she sensed was quickly erased by her divine power and vanished without a trace.

......

Amidst the clouds, Morikawa Yu rode the wind, her figure breaking through the mist and flying towards the distant Oki Islands.

Chapter 582 The Wind Rises

Suddenly, Morikawa Yu felt that he had lost Maizuru's aura, as if someone had directly erased the teleportation mark.

He frowned.

"What's wrong, darling?" Mizuko flew beside him, looking at him with concern.

Feiyue also turned to look at him.

Morikawa Yu said in a deep voice, "My teleportation marker has been erased."

He had just used the teleportation mark to sense the location of the dancing crane, constantly confirming its position to prevent it from escaping again.

But Wuhe's aura stopped in the northwest direction. It only moved a very short distance before remaining still, as if it had arrived at its destination. Shortly afterward, the teleportation mark on Wuhe's body disappeared.

He also lost his position as the dancer.

Morikawa Yu thought for a moment and said, "Hizuki, Mitsuko, only your Great Yokai of the Age of Gods and the Supreme God Lord can discover and erase my teleportation mark. The Shrine Maiden must also be in the Oki Islands."

Hiizuki and Mitsuko exchanged a glance.

Mitsuko smiled slightly: "Great, we've finally found her."

Feiyue nodded as well.

She also felt there was nothing to worry about.

Although the shrine maiden is the highest deity of Izumo, possessing immense divine power and holding a rank as noble as her, and her close friend, Kannazuki Chiko, has a perfect record of defeat against all previous shrine maidens, never winning even once.

However, the pheasant is not good at fighting. Once it loses its speed advantage, it is easily overwhelmed and beaten. It is considered the most pathetic of the great yokai of the Age of Gods.

If a pheasant were to fight her, it would only be able to run away at the sight of her.

Morikawa Yu sighed, "I was thinking of using this teleportation mark to teleport directly to her side and scare her, but I didn't expect the priestess to actually be next to her, and the mark was erased."

Mizuko shook her head slightly: "It's alright, darling, we already know where she is, so it doesn't matter if she's erased."

As she spoke, she pulled Morikawa Yu's hand, hugged her from behind, let her head rest in her arms, and gently embraced her waist.

"When we get there, Hiigetsu will deal with the priestess, then Tenshi will keep an eye on Hanamiyuki, and Asaka will capture that shikigami youkai, Maizuru."

"If I remember correctly, the local deity of the Oki Islands is called Hai Ruo. She is a high-ranking demon among sea monsters, with strength similar to that of a demon god. You can let Dai Tamaru deal with her."

"If the emperor and the others lose, I will step in to help."

Morikawa Yu was taken aback for a moment: "What about me?"

"What do I do?"

Mizuko thought for a moment: "My dear... you just watch us closely and witness the power of the Hiiyue, and then you just stay by my side and make me happy, okay?"

Morikawa Yuu frowned: "No, I have to help too. I'll catch Maizuru, and Hanamiyuki..."

Morikawa Yu thought of the white consciousness shadow that created the white jade puppet, with its strange power: "I will capture Hanamiyuki with the Emperor. This time it is in reality. She does not have the white jade puppet, so it should be easy to deal with."

Mitsuko sighed, "Darling, you've done so much since you came to the border of Izumo, take a good rest."

Morikawa Yu: "It's alright, you don't need to worry about me. I came with you to help you and to gain some experience. Just let me help you."

He came to Izumo to find the priestess and the reason for the incident, not just to enjoy the scenery.

He came here to hone his skills and become stronger.

He gained a lot of experience from defeating Hanamiyuki's white jade puppet and consciousness projection in the realm of divine history. Combined with the experience gained from defeating those god giants, he now only needs a little over 300 experience points to reach level 17, just one step away.
