Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Hyōjin quietly wiped the Kusanagi Pill in his hand.
Although his heart was full of annoyance and guilt, he was not affected by these negative emotions, but tried his best to restrain the killing intent that was constantly spreading in his heart.
The gentle wind caressed his body, making his mind more calm.
In the Shinobi world, blindness and underestimation of the enemy are the biggest enemies of the ninja.
No matter what you do, you must have a clear goal, and the goal of Hyōjin's coming to the Land of Demons is not to kill indiscriminately, but to find the whereabouts of the Miko-sama.
Looking at the direction of the Miko-sama's palace, Hyōjin's expression gradually became solemn.
As the night fell, rows of lights were lit in the distant palace, although the disciples of Yomi were still patrolling, but the gap between the lines is undoubtedly much larger than during the day, making it easier for Hyōjin to sneak in.
But Hyōjin still didn't move, still waiting patiently.
As the night deepened, the formation of the patrols in the palace began to scatter. The guards at the sentry posts also began to yawn. The silence in the surroundings seemed to have caused all the guards in the palace to let down their guard.
"It's time!"
Kuroto slowly stood up, and with a sway of his figure, he disappeared on the spot.
Like a black shadow, he moved stealthily in the shadows of the walls, passing by sentry post after sentry post, avoiding group after group of guards, and in just a moment, he had already snuck into the palace.
This palace of the Miko-sama, Hyōjin also lived in it for a period of time, although he is not very familiar with the layout of the palace, he is not completely clueless.
After sneaking into the palace, Kuroto leaned against a dark corner and thought: "The residence of the Miko-sama is the core area of the entire palace, let's go there first and see!"
After passing through a few corridors, Hyōjin found a team of Yomi disciples guarding in front of the passage leading to the Miko-sama's residence.
Hyōjin's eyes narrowed, and slowly pulled out the Kusanagi Pill from his waist.
Whoosh …
With a burst of wind, Hyōjin turned into a black shadow and rushed forward.
Swish swish swish …
As a few cold sword lights flashed, the Yellow Springs disciples fell to the ground one by one in a daze.
"Enemy …"
The leader of the Yellow Spring Cult, who was standing in the middle of the team, was just about to open his mouth to warn the others, when the Kusanagi Pill that Hyōjin threw out from his hand darted towards him like a kunai and pierced right into his mouth, stopping him from screaming!
After pulling out the Kusanagi Pill from the mouth of the Yomi leader, Hyōjin shook off the blood that was still steaming on the blade and walked towards the residence of the Miko-sama with an indifferent expression.
Arriving in front of Miko-sama's residence, Hyōjin slowly pushed open the door covered with sealing techniques.
After opening the door, Kuroto didn't rush to enter, but stood outside the door and carefully observed the scene inside the house with the Tenseigan.
In the field of vision of the Tenseigan, there is no one in the house, nor is there any trace of Chakra. The bed, furnishings, etc. in the house seem to be normal.
"No one …?"
Hyōjin frowned, slightly surprised.
He thought that even if he couldn't see the Miko-sama herself, he should be able to see the leader of the Yellow Spring Cult, Yomi, who occupied the palace, but he didn't expect to see nothing.
Carrying the Kusanagi Pill, Hyōjin slowly walked into the house, but as soon as he entered the house, he felt that something was wrong and immediately looked up at the roof.
The roof of the Miko-sama's residence was very high. Hyōjin visually estimated that it was at least twelve meters high, as high as a three-or four-story building. A crystal chandelier hung in the center of the dome, and the chandelier was shining with a magnificent brilliance.
If it was someone else, they might not be able to notice anything unusual, but Hyōjin, who has the Tenseigan, was different.
In the field of vision of Hyōjin's Tenseigan, the crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the dome obviously contained a soft energy. This energy seemed to be a mixture of Chakra and natural energy, which was very similar to the Dragon Vein Chakra in the gourd artifact on Hyōjin's waist.
Hua …
Just as Hyōjin was about to jump to the dome and take a closer look at the crystal chandelier, the crystal chandelier suddenly emitted a golden light. At the same time, a figure familiar to Hyōjin walked out of the golden light.
This figure was none other than the Miko-sama of the Country of Demons!
Staring at the lifelike phantom of the Country of Demons in front of him, Hyōjin asked with some vigilance, "Your Highness, you are …"
The Miko-sama explained, "This is my spiritual body."
"Spiritual body!?" Slightly stunned, Hyōjin's face immediately darkened, "I'm sorry, I failed to fulfill the agreement."
The so-called "spiritual body" was actually another name for the soul. Excluding special circumstances, the Miko-sama appeared in the soul state at this time, which meant that she was most likely dead.
This undoubtedly made Hyōjin feel very guilty. If he had completely killed Yomi as promised, maybe the Miko-sama would have been able to escape.
Seeing this, the Miko-sama smiled slightly and said, "You don't have to worry too much, all of this has been destined!"
Hyōjin asked, "Did you prophesy something?"
"Well, more than a month ago, I prophesied my own death." After a pause, the Miko-sama smiled again and said, "In fact, as early as a few years ago, when the Moryo came to the Country of Demons, I prophesied my own death once, but because of your appearance, my prophecy failed."
"What, you also prophesied your own death at that time?"
Hyōjin finally understood why the Miko-sama always mentioned dying together with the Moryo at that time.
The Miko-sama nodded and said, "Well, that time because of your appearance, the prophecy failed, but this time, it came true. So you don't have to blame yourself too much, because because of you, I have been able to live with Ziyuan for a few more years, I am already very satisfied! "
Miko-sama knew very well that Hyōjin had no obligation to stay in the Country of Demons to protect her, so she didn't resent Hyōjin. In fact, she was even grateful to Hyōjin for allowing her to escape the first prophecy of death and live with her daughter Ziyuan for a few more years.
Hyōjin sighed, "Your Soul is here, are you waiting for me?"
Miko-sama smiled and said, "Yes, I knew you would come."
Hyōjin asked curiously, "Did you prophesy that I would come?"
Miko-sama shook her head and pointed to the gourd artifact at Hyōjin's waist, saying, "With it by your side, I can't prophesy anything related to you!"
Hyōjin glanced at the gourd artifact at his waist in surprise and said, "Is it because of the Ryuumyaku?"
Miko-sama replied, "Well, your Ryuumyaku contains a large amount of Nature Energy, it can almost be regarded as a part of nature, and prophecy can only be targeted at individuals, it can't be used to pry into nature, so as long as it is by your side, no prophecy can pry into your fate!"
Patting the gourd artifact, Hyōjin asked, "So, it can shield me from all prophecies?"
