Yes, Lady Funina!

Kujo Takayuki knew his adopted daughter very well. Her loyalty to the Shogun was even greater than his own, even to the point of blindness. How could such a loyal Kujo Sara embarrass General Raiden in such a situation?
There must be someone else behind this!
The image of Yae Shinto immediately popped up in Kujo Takayuki's mind. Although there were some stereotypes in it, there was no doubt that among the people present, he was the only one who had the courage to cause trouble.
Facts have proved that Kujo Takayuki's guess was right, but not completely right. Among those who caused trouble was indeed Yae Kamiko, but there were more than just Yae Kamiko. Among them was Kujo Sara, who Kujo Takayuki thought was the least likely to cause trouble.
The Eye of God is the Nine-pointed Saraswati.
When General Raiden and Kujo Takayuki were investigating who took the Eye of God, Kujo Sara also stepped forward.
However, what she held in her hand was not the Eye of God that she had taken away, but her own Eye of God.
"General, I took the Eye of God. If you insist on continuing the Eye Hunting Ceremony, you can use my Eye of God."
Kujo Takayuki couldn't believe his ears. He pointed at his adopted daughter and said, "Kujo Sara, do you know what you are saying?"
Interfering with the Eye Hunting Ceremony is a serious crime that will hinder Inazuma's eternity, and provoking the Shogun is... a capital crime.
Kujo Sara stole the Eye of God and challenged the Shogun in public. Even though Kujo Sara had made great contributions to the Shogunate army, she could not get away with it.
"I know exactly what I'm doing, Master." Kujo Sara's eyes were firm, without any wavering.
"But Master... Master Xiaoxing, do you know what you are doing?"
Kujo Takayuki looked at Kujo Sara and felt that the other person seemed to have gone insane.
"What am I doing? I'm participating in the General's Eye Hunting Ceremony!"
"No, you are working for the Fatui, you are pushing the Tenryo Bugyo into the abyss, and you are disregarding the safety of the Inazuma people and the shogunate soldiers!" Kujo Sara clenched his fists and loudly refuted Kujo Takayuki with a murderous look.
"I……"
"I have read the letter that the Fatui wrote to the Fengxing Mansion and the [official memorial] that you wrote to the general."
"Humph, what nonsense! How could the Fatui write to me? As for the official document, who gave it to you? Do you know that intercepting official documents privately is a serious crime?"
It was naturally impossible for Kujo Takayuki to admit in front of everyone, especially General Raiden, that he had colluded with the Fatui.
As for the official documents… there was his official seal on the documents, which he could not deny. But as long as he could convince Kujo Sara that the documents in his hands came from an improper source and showed signs of deletions and modifications, it would be impossible to find fault with him.
The only thing that worries Kujo Takayuki is the matter regarding the resistance army. If the general knows about this...
It shouldn't be a big deal now that he knows. Things have come to this point, and it's obviously too late for the General to regret. Moreover, with the General's strength, it would be faster for him to personally deal with the rebels than to regret.
Thinking of this, Kujo Takayuki regained his composure and called the shogunate army without waiting for Kujo Sara to reply.
"Come here, take the nine-sara away and keep him under strict guard."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shogunate soldiers present looked at each other, but no one stepped forward to carry out Kujo Bugyo's order.
After all, Kujo Takayuki is the immediate superior who has always been in the rear, and it is obvious that a front-line leader like Kujo Sara who sets an example and takes the lead will have more morale in the army.
It can be said that in terms of prestige in the army, ten Kujo Takayuki cannot compare to Kujo Sara.
This Lord Fengxing, apart from holding a high official position and loving to play power games, is actually nothing.
At this moment, Yae Shinto, who had been watching the battle for a long time, spoke at the right time.
"Is Kujo Bugyo so anxious to silence people's tongues?"
"The most urgent task now is to hold the Eye Hunting Ceremony. What do you want to do, Yae Miyabi? The General is still here!" Kujo Takayuki frowned. Although he maintained the most basic demeanor in his words, almost everyone present could see that Kujo Takayuki and Yae Miyabi were on the verge of a falling out.
What surprised everyone even more was that Yae God Son was actually able to incite Kujo Sara to rebel. After all, everyone present knew Kujo Sara's character. To put it nicely, he was loyal, but to put it bluntly, he was blindly loyal!
He obeyed General Raiden's orders almost to the point of obedience. It can be said that no one present was more loyal to General Raiden than Kujo Sara.
"I think even the general should be wondering why Kujo Sara would make such an 'unwise' move, right?"
"Yae-no-Miyaji, it was all your instigation!" Kujo Takayuki was shaking with anger. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Kujo Sara's abnormal behavior was definitely related to the fox demon in front of him.
"Kujo Takayuki, when you speak... you must provide evidence." There was no smile in the charming fox eyes of Yae Shinto. The purple light flickered in her erect pupils, captivating people.
No matter how high Kujo Takayuki's official position was, he was just an ordinary mortal after all. When facing a big demon like Yae Kamiko, he was as weak as a child.
"You..." Kujo Takayuki was shocked. He suddenly had a feeling that if he dared to say another word, he would surely be greeted with the thundering wrath of the Eightfold God's Son.
This woman really dares to attack me in front of General Lei Dian!
After realizing this, Kujo Takayuki no longer dared to provoke this crazy woman, because he himself was not sure whether General Raiden could withstand the attack of the Eightfold Divine Son.
Although he had great confidence in General Lei Dian's strength, that was only limited to General Lei Dian's offense. According to historical records, the general's defense seemed to be less than ideal.
She seemed unable to protect anything.
General Lei Dian ignored the argument between the two and just focused her attention on Kujo Sara.
"go on."
"General..." Kujo Takayuki seemed to want to say something.
General Lei Dian only glanced at Kujo Takayuki, and he felt as if he was falling into an ice cellar. He tucked his tail between his legs like an old dog and stopped talking.
"General, do you know anything about the resistance army on Haio Island?"
"The rebels?" General Lei Dian was puzzled. What rebels?
When Kujo Sara saw this, she knew that the official documents given to her by Yae Shinto and the letters from the Fatui were both real.
The head of the family... no, Kujo Takayuki really is [deceiving the emperor], and sacrificing the interests of hundreds of families for the sake of his own selfish interests.
Kujo Sara took a deep breath and reported to General Raiden everything that had happened in the past week, no matter how big or small.
When she heard the word "disturbance", General Raiden frowned, and there was expression on her face for the first time, but there was no fluctuation after that, including when Kujo Sara reported to her the number of casualties among the soldiers on the front line.
It was as if those cold strings of numbers were just numbers.
"Kujo Takayuki, is this true?" After listening to Kujo Sara's report, General Lei Dian turned to ask Kujo Takayuki.
"I'm sorry, General, it was just a small rebellion. I... Tianling Fengxing will be able to suppress it quickly. There is really no need to alarm you."
"Any unrest is a destabilizing factor, and these are the enemies of Eternity. As for the things you concealed, I will judge you after I have dealt with the rebels."
"Alas, is this the result?" Yae Shinko sighed and decided to play her last trump card.
"Richard, it's your turn."
Volume 139: Chapter : Ying, You Are Not Suitable for Lying
After hearing what the Eightfold Son of God said, General Lei Dian's hand that was reaching for the Nine-lined Eye of Sarashen God paused, and he looked at Richard with a probing look.
"I remember you were Fontaine's messenger." General Lei Dian said, "Does Fontaine want to interfere in Inazuma's internal affairs?"
"My behavior only represents me personally... Of course, I know that even if I say this, the general will still blame this matter on Fontaine." Richard was wearing the appropriate Fontaine noble clothing, looking at the face that was still familiar after a hundred years.
It’s a pity that the person behind this face is not an old friend.
But it doesn’t matter, I’ll just find the old friend later.
"It seems that Ying didn't input any memory about you into the general. The possessiveness is quite strong." Even in such a tense situation, Yae Shenzi was still in the mood to tease Richard.
However, General Lei Dian on the other side also made a move. She was surrounded by lightning, her lilac eyes lit up, and she slowly took out [Dream of Oneness] from her chest. When the sword blade was completely exposed, a purple beam of light shot up into the sky, and she slowly spoke with a heart-pounding momentum:
"Yae Shenzi, do you also want to hinder the progress of the Eye Hunting Order? Do you... also want to become an eternal enemy?"
"I am the chief priest of the shrine. How could I be an enemy of Eternity? The only one who is truly an enemy of Eternity is... you, General."
Facing the might of General Thunder, the expression of the Eightfold Son of God did not change at all, as if the opponent's tangible pressure did not exist.
What a joke. With Richard here, how can a mere Mingshen like you really touch me?
You should know that Richard's martial arts were taught by your creator himself. It cannot be said that he taught you meticulously, but you can only say that he gave you everything he knew.
What's more, Richard has not been sitting there doing nothing for the past hundred years. Yaye Shenzi can be sure that Richard's strength has improved qualitatively compared to what he was a hundred years ago.
However, a hundred years ago, Richard was able to fight back and forth with Ying. Although neither side really fought, Ying also admitted that there was nothing left for him to teach Richard in terms of martial arts.
According to that good old Alice, Richard was still a child at that time, not even a teenager, and he had not developed even one percent of his own abilities.
Now, a hundred years have passed, and Alice has said that Richard is only one step away from becoming a "perfect form". His strength must be so terrifying that even the Eightfold God Son cannot imagine it. Therefore, she really can't think of any reason why General Thunder could win.
Now, even if Ying comes, Richard will probably have to be pinned down by that guy, right?
As his thoughts flowed, the Eightfold God Son took light lotus steps and brought Richard in front of him.
"I leave it to you. Go and kill General Lei Dian!"
Richard looked back at the Eightfold Son of God speechlessly, and the moment Richard turned his head, General Thunder moved.
Sneak attack!
No, this is not a sneak attack. General Lei Dian did not use all his strength. He simply swung out a sword to test and remind Richard that this is not a child's play, nor is it a turn-based game. The one in front of you is the God of Thunder who commands Inazuma, so take it seriously.
Even though this was just a casual sword strike from General Thunder, the power contained in it was enough to defeat most of Inazuma's swordsmen. If there were those who were not well-trained, they might even die on the spot from this sword.
Facing the sword, Richard simply waved his hand, and the sword was eliminated during its flight.
The onlookers who had retreated a hundred meters away all widened their eyes and couldn't help but exclaim.
There were also some people who didn't understand the situation at the scene and asked the people around them: "What happened? How did a fight break out in the blink of an eye?"
The people around him who were also onlookers obviously didn't understand why the Fontaine's envoy would fight with the general, but does it matter?
Watch the show first.
Neither the spectators present nor Kujo Takayuki who was at the center of the battlefield had any doubt that General Raiden might lose. They felt that the only suspense of this competition was how long Richard could last.
As General Thunder gradually rose into the air, the sword [Dream of Oneness] in his hand began to be entangled with countless lightning poles. A crack suddenly appeared in the sky, and an evil eye of thunder and punishment unfolded in the void.
"This is the [Unthinking Sword]! The general actually used this sword directly. It seems that there is no suspense."
"Will this chop really not affect the diplomacy between the two countries?"
"What are you thinking about? We have already locked down the country. Does it matter whether it has an impact or not?"
"Too……"
The spectators around watched and retreated. During the time when General Lei Dian was gathering his strength, this group of people pushed from a hundred meters to a thousand meters to avoid any possibility of accidental injury.
Although they all believed in the general's martial arts and his control over the power of his own moves, but... there is always a chance of something happening.
If it were affected by the aftermath, it would not just be bruised and purple, but would most likely be scattered all over the place.
Kujo Takayuki, who was in the middle of the battlefield, saw General Raiden use this move directly, and the fanaticism in his eyes almost overflowed.
"Ahhh... this is [Wuxiang's Sword], how gorgeous, how beautiful... how deadly!!!"
This kind of morbid enthusiasm was as if he wanted to test the sharpness of the knife for Richard in the next second.
Of course, this is just talk. After all, if he tries, he will die. With Kujo Takayuki's current old and frail body, he may not even be able to be torn into pieces. He will be turned into powder under the power of thunder.
"General..." Kujo Sara wanted to step forward to dissuade him, but was stopped by Yae Shinto beside him.
Kujo Sara couldn't help but feel a little confused. If she remembered correctly, Mr. Richard should be the sweetheart of Yae Shinto, right?
Are you just going to watch your loved one go to die?
Facing the full power of [Unthinking Sword] head-on, what's the difference between this and committing suicide?
You must know that the narrow space of the Wuxiang Blade was created by this sword.
Perhaps considering that the power of the sword was too great and would very likely affect the Thousand-Armed and Hundred-Eyed Statue beside him and Inazuma Castle in the distance, General Raiden did not launch a direct attack, but instead deployed his domain before the lightning blade fell.
The air around them made a sound like breaking glass, and a desolate scene unfolded from behind General Lei Dian, enveloping both Richard and General Lei Dian.
After the domain was fully expanded, the ground was no longer the tiles in front of the general's mansion. Instead, there was a huge stone plate with a dilapidated torii standing crookedly on the edge of the stone plate.
"No thoughts... cut off!"
A cold voice fell, and a blow that seemed to be from the power of heaven fell, carrying the momentum to destroy everything and slashing towards Richard.
However, what puzzled General Lei Dian was that Richard still did not make any defensive moves, but simply extended the index and middle fingers of his right hand.
'Is he trying to catch my knife with two fingers?'
Even General Lei Dian, his opponent, couldn't help but feel it was extremely absurd at this moment. Is this guy trying to show off with his own life?
The kind that dies right after being handsome.
As the blade fell, General Lei Dian did not feel the sensation of the blade cutting through flesh. Instead, the feeling transmitted from the blade to General Lei Dian's hand was like a stone sinking into the sea, deep and unnoticeable.
"This is it!" General Lei Dian was stunned, and saw Richard blocked her knife with just two fingers.
However, if that were all, General Lei Dian would not be so surprised. What confused her was that she clearly felt that her knife softened the moment it touched Richard.
Yes, there is no better word than 'soft'.
The blade, which should have been sharp and capable of cutting off everything, suddenly became harmless the moment it touched Richard.
