"It is more important to save people. There will always be a chance to catch him. If we fail to stop these ruins heavy machines and ruins guards, there will be heavy casualties." Manye comforted Goro.

"Wulang, you just said that those soldiers with evil eyes have escaped?" Paimon asked Wulang.

"Some stayed, but most of them escaped."

"That Zeping..."

"He also escaped. I plan to chase them back after I have set up my base. These people probably know that they don't have much time left, so they are so resistant."

"Do you know where they're going?"

"It should be... the front line..." Manye was a little sad.

"A desperate fight? If these people activate their evil eyes to fight with all their strength, I'm afraid none of them will come back."

"Ying, let's go catch up and stop them."

......

Nashi Beach.

The two groups met, and both sides had small numbers of people, only about ten people each.

The two leaders stared at each other for a long time without saying anything. Their team members were sweating as they held their spears. There was no follow-up support nearby, and the encounter between the two sides could be said to be a fight to the death, and only one side could leave alive.

"I didn't expect to meet you again." Zheping broke the silence first.

"I'm going to repay you for the blow I took from you last time." Yamada looked at the other person and tightened his knife.

"Then prepare to die! Killing my relatives and friends is unforgivable!"

"You bunch of bandits, I will kill you all for the massacre in my village!"

"Die!"

"You are the one who died!"

The two sides collided with each other. Blood was spilled and blood was blooming. In the gloomy weather, the sound of thunder was heard.

In just ten minutes, Teppei and Yamada were the only ones left standing.

One of them had his hair turn whiter, and the other used ice to freeze the wound on his leg. Both of them were breathing heavily.

"You won't live long if you use this evil method to gain power. A bandit is a bandit. I just need to delay you for a while and then I will kill you in Shanghai Gijima. I will kill all of you." Yamada panted and provoked the other party.

Teppei's eyes, which had been dimming, suddenly lit up. "Damn the shogunate army, I won't let you set foot on Kaigi Island. I want you to die here!"

Both sides fought for their lives again.

Suddenly, Yamada's foot twisted and he thought to himself, "Oh no! The wound on his leg has such a great impact."

At this moment, a spear pierced through Yamada's abdomen. Yamada burst out with all his strength and chopped down with his right hand. He almost split the opponent in half, and the ice element on the blade raged in the opponent's body. Teppei stretched out his right hand, grabbed the spear tightly, and used up his last strength to twist it half a circle.

Both sides saw the last bit of affection in each other's eyes, but unfortunately their consciousness was fading away. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, as if it was washing away everything.

Ying and Paimeng came here, looking at the corpses lying around and the two people who died together. Their legs couldn't help but go weak.

Paimon burst into tears. Their encounter, acquaintance, disagreement and separation were so brief, yet unforgettable. The two of them could have been friends, but they died together in a meaningless war.

Why? Why did it turn out like this? One finally escaped the disaster of the evil god, but was massacred in the end. He hated the resistance army of Umijima Island. One rebelled against the Eye Hunting Order, and his fellow villagers died. He wanted revenge and turned to the evil eye for help. He hated the Inazuma shogunate army.

Ying quickly regained her balance, with a lingering anger in her eyes.

"Paimon, let's go. Let's go to Naruto-taisha Shrine and end this war that is being manipulated by others."

"Oooooooh, eh. What are they going to do?"

"Goro and the others are on their way. They will bury them properly. We have to hurry."

Two hours later, Goro and Manye led the team to this place, and they looked at the scene in silence. They wanted to put them into the corpse transport cart, but the hands holding the weapons tightly could not be moved.

Narukami Taisha Shrine.

Ying and Paimon drove the boat that Klee's mother left for them and sneaked back to Narukami Island under the cover of night. They set foot on the mountain road to Narukami Taisha Shrine.

"Kamizato's house is right next to us, why don't we go look for Ayaka?"

"We are still wanted. If we show up at Kamisato's door and get discovered, she will be in danger."

"That's right."

The two walked along the mountain road for another ten minutes.

Paimon seemed to have sensed something and looked down the mountain. A small figure, flashing a few times, was climbing up the mountain quickly.

"Um, Ying. It looks like someone is going up the mountain. Should we avoid them?"

"Well, it's better for us to avoid it."

Soon, a soldier with red hair and wearing the attire of a heavenly official appeared where they had just stood. He looked around with his right hand in a seven-character gesture, then looked behind a box, and began to condense a wind elemental ball with his right leg.

"If you don't come out, I'm going to kick you out."

"Hey, wait."

"You two, the most wanted criminals with the highest bounty, actually dare to come back to Narukami Island."

"We were invited to the Narukami Taisha Shrine, we are not enemies!" Paimon explained hurriedly.

"Invited? Really? Then come with me, and don't even think about running away."

Ying and Paimon followed behind him and exchanged glances.

"Hey, little guy, who are you?"

"My name is Shikanoin Heizo, and I am a member of the Tenryo Bugyo. I am best at investigation and arresting people. You are the ones who are going to be built into the statues of the gods and rebel against the Raiden General."

"We won't be built into the statue. It's so late, why would an ordinary fellow like you go to Narukami Taisha?"

"No comment."

"Tsk, he's so stubborn. Ying, he seems to have the Eye of God as well. Will the Eye Hunting Order force him to hand over the Eye of God sooner or later?"

"Don't bother with that."

"Uh, damn it. It's just a kid. Let's go."

"Paimon, they don't plan to capture us and take us back." Ying sighed. Paimon's little head was smart at one moment and stupid at another.

"Isn't he a fellow believer in Tianling's practice?"

"As expected of you, you are the Honorary Knight of Mondstadt and the Great Hero of Liyue. You are much smarter than the little thing next to you." Shikanoin Heizo turned and looked at them.

"My name is Paimon, and I'm not a little thing."

"People who are good at investigation must have found out a lot of things, right? Coincidentally, we have also found out a lot of things. Do you want to exchange information?" Ying made an invitation.

"Indeed, you went to Umijima and should have obtained a lot of information. But the current problem is very serious. It would be better to discuss it together after meeting Lord Yae."

"If you put it that way, then our goals are actually the same? Also, you must have been poisoned, right?"

"It's just a little trouble. You'll always run into desperadoes when you're on a scouting mission."

"What's going on? Their fellow Tenryo Bugyo was poisoned, but instead of seeking treatment, they ran to Narukami Taisha." Paimon scratched his head.

"Let's go! The longer the situation drags on, the less evidence there will be, and the chance of a turnaround will become lower and lower." Shikanoin Heizo urged.

"Yeah. We have to hurry."

The three of them rushed up the mountain.

Chapter 209: Night Talk at Mingjin Taisha Shrine

"Finally, we're here. Phantom Limb is so tired. Huh...why not use the anchor point to teleport there!" Paimon complained while panting.

"There's nothing we can do. We don't know the situation at the anchor point. If we use the anchor point to teleport here and find that there are only Shogunate troops in front of us, we will be walking into a trap." Ying also rubbed his sore legs.

"Heizo, you're running too fast, aren't you?"

"If you run slowly, you won't be able to catch up with those criminals."

"There's something wrong with your arm. You need to find someone to treat it right away." Ying saw that Ping Zang's arm had started to turn black.

"It's okay. My cousin Nana Kano should be here."

The three of them passed through the torii and arrived at the entrance of the shrine.

"The shrine is not accepting guests at this time. Please come this way for accommodation." The two shrine maidens on duty at the door stood up.

"It was Yae Godson who invited us here." Paimon replied first.

"Master Yae did say something about the blonde woman and the flying pet," a miko recalled Yae Shinko's instructions.

"Then this way please..."

The three followed the shrine maiden into the Narugami Taisha Shrine.

"This is it." The witch bowed and left.

Ying opened the door of the room in front of her and then quickly closed it.

"Ying, what are you doing?" Paimon asked curiously.

"I seem to have seen something I shouldn't have seen just now." A black line appeared on Ying's face.

"Something I shouldn't see?" Several question marks appeared above Paimon's head.

Two minutes later.

"Please come in." The voice of Yae Shinto came from inside the house.

Raiden Shin and Yae Shinko sat upright on the tatami, as if nothing had happened just now.

"You guys are here much earlier than I expected. Did something happen?" Yaejinko looked at Shikanoin Heizo. "You are Shikano Nana's cousin, right? A master of solving crimes in Tenryo Bugyo. Many people in Narugami Taisha are praying that they won't be discovered by you."

"Thank you for your praise, Lord Yae." Although Shikanoin Heizo was answering, his eyes never moved away from Raiden Shin beside him.

"It's not polite to keep staring at a lady."

Lei Dian was making tea very elegantly, and then poured it for everyone. His movements were so noble that it was beyond words.

"Could this be... the sister of General Raiden who caused such a stir in Inazuma a few years ago?"

"That's amazing. Most people would mistake her for General Thunder. It seems that you already know a lot of information. Then you can tell us first." Yae Shinko praised Heizo.

"Drink the tea first. If the poison is not eliminated, it will affect your body." Lei Dianzhen said to Ping Zang.

"Can drinking tea detoxify? Wouldn't that be the same as being a big villain?" Paimon asked curiously.

"This body was also created by him, so it's normal for him to have some of his abilities. Besides, the poison he was infected with wasn't some weird one."

"So that's it."

Heizo Shikanoin took a sip of tea, and the black spots on his arms gradually disappeared, and his face gradually became rosy.

"Thank you for saving my life. I met Master Xuan before, and he told me that Kanjo Bugyo was supporting Kaigi Island, so that Kaigi Island would have supplies and weapons to fight against the shogunate army led by Tenryo Bugyo.

I also think that something is fishy. I have been to Haiji Island before. The situation there is not likely to allow them to resist the Eye Hunting Order for so long. There must be a third party involved.

After the strike and warehouse burning incident, the number of patrol officers in the Kanjo Bugyo increased by more than three times. And I also noticed that a lot of assets were being transferred out. "

"Are they planning to escape? But where can they go in a place surrounded by thunderstorms?" Paimon interrupted.

"Looking at their actions, they just moved some people out. These big families will not put all their eggs in one basket.

Although on the surface only Liyue's ocean-going freighters came to Inazuma, in fact, ships from Fontaine and Winter Kingdom would occasionally come to Inazuma through the thunderstorm area.

The things they carried were negligible in front of that ocean freighter. If they just wanted to transport some people out, there would be no problem at all."

"So that's how it is. Have they run away?"

"Some people have already left. Later, I discovered that a large batch of goods was shipped out of the island, heading towards the Jiujo Formation House. Then I found that this batch of goods did not enter the Jiujo Formation House. Instead, it passed through the Jiujo Formation House directly and arrived near Bayun Island, where it hung the military flag of Haigi Island.

I sneaked up to check it out. All I found were food supplies that were about to expire, and some second-hand retired weapons. The most troublesome thing was that I didn't find anything on the person in charge that could prove the origin of these supplies. Later, the rebels came to take over, and I was afraid of alerting them, so I had to evacuate first. "

"Well, we also saw those supplies in the resistance army's warehouse. Are the Relic Heavy Machines and Relic Guards missing?"

"Ruins heavy machine and ruins guards? I don't think I saw any. I looked through it and it was just some supplies."

"Did you find anything else?"

"Have!"

Heizo Kanoin took out the small backpack from his back and spread out the papers inside one by one.

"After failing to obtain definite evidence, there was no other way. I chose to sneak into the residence of the Kanjo Bugyo directly. I had fought with the Sha Bugyo's final officer before when I was handling a case, so I know a little bit about infiltration techniques.
