"Oh right, have you heard of the Spirit Devouring Poison?" Having finished talking about business, Sei Itō suddenly remembered that Nine Tails could be described as a living dictionary, so he asked.
"Where did you hear about it?" Sure enough, Nine Tails frowned when she heard the words "Spirit Devouring Poison" and said sternly. Afterwards, her expression changed. She raised her head and looked straight at Sei Itō. "Don't tell me the poison you mentioned before is this poison!?"
"Yes." Sei Itō did not hide it, admitting to it.
Basically the moment Sei Itō said that, Nine Tails suddenly leapt up from the sofa as if someone had stepped on her tail.
"Look at you, you know?" Ito Mori looked at Kyuubi, whose expression had changed greatly, and asked.
"No, you don't look like you've been poisoned by that thing." Seeing Sei Itō's expression, Nine Tails' eyes flashed slightly as she said sternly.
"Yes, I've already dealt with the poison." Sei Itō shrugged with a smile.
"I didn't expect you to have an ability like that." Nine Tails slowly sat down again in surprise.
"Tell me, what's the deal with this poison?" Sei Itō restrained his expression slightly and asked.
"Have you heard of the Myriad Poison Ancestor?" After a moment of silence, Nine Tails asked slowly.
"No." Sei Itō shook his head.
"That's true. After all, you still don't know where he was when he became famous." Nine Tails' voice drifted, speaking softly with a distant tone.
"The Myriad Poison Ancestor was a figure from the time of the Five Emperors, Zhuanxu. Back then, his reputation was not obvious. Only a few people knew of his existence. However, because he was involved in a major event back then, his reputation truly resounded. "
"What was it?" Sei Itō asked very cooperatively.
"Shamanslaying!" Nine Tails answered indifferently.
Sei Itō's pupils shrank, and his expression turned serious. This was the first time he had heard the word 'shaman', which represented a race, other than the web novels he read in his previous life and the legends of the Classic of Mountains and Seas.
"And the weapon he used to exterminate the shamans was the Spirit Devouring Poison!" Ignoring Sei Itō's changing expression, Nine Tails continued.
"In other words, the Spirit Devouring Poison was originally used to kill shamans?" Sei Itō raised his eyebrows and asked.
"Yes," Nine-Tails affirmed.
"However, it is precisely because he participated in such a major event. Therefore, he also brought about a fatal disaster for himself! "Then, without waiting for Ito Sei to ask again, Kyuubi continued to narrate.
"Around the eighth year after the destruction of the shamans, the great shaman, Jiufeng, who had escaped from Emperor Zhuanxu and the human soldiers in the past, suddenly killed his way into his lair. Not only did he kill the Myriad Poison Ancestor who was researching a new poison back then, but he also wiped out his soul. He even ignored his own injuries and directly destroyed the legacy the Myriad Poison Ancestor had left behind to prevent future troubles! "
"However, perhaps it was fate, or perhaps the Myriad Poison Ancestor's lineage was quite lucky. A young disciple who just happened to be sent out to deliver a letter under the Myriad Poison Ancestor's orders managed to survive by coincidence, inheriting part of the Myriad Poison Ancestor's legacy. Among them was something like the Spirit Devouring Poison. "
"But unfortunately, the young disciple's talent was lacking, and he was deeply immersed in the inner demons of hatred, so he failed to achieve anything with cultivation his entire life. Instead, his disciple's performance was startling and brilliant. It was also him who modified the Spirit Devouring Poison in order to avoid the enemy's pursuit. He turned the spiritual poison that was originally only effective against shamans into a new type of Spirit Devouring Poison that has wondrous effects on cultivators, especially cultivators at the Soul Nascent Soul realm and above! "
In the ancient times where there were no Soul Nascent Soul cultivation methods, which were basically unorthodox cultivation methods, every single almighty who had reached the Soul Nascent Soul realm was basically an expert who had refined their soul to the Immortal realm. In other words, they were masters close to the level of immortals, which corresponded to the current level of 'gods'!
However, if this happened in the present, it would be effective against all cultivators at the Soul Nascent Soul realm and above. It could be described as an absolute weapon of mass destruction! Just the thought of it was terrifying enough.
"I think that person's fate must have been horrible, right?" Sei Itō said. Although it was a question, his tone was filled with certainty.
Thinking about it, the reasoning behind it was very simple. The new Spirit Devouring Poison was the same as the biochemical weapons of modern society. It would have been fine if he did not use it, but if he did, he would definitely become a public enemy of the world. After all, it was a great poison that was indiscriminate against Soul Nascent Soul cultivators. What if he fell for it one day?
"That's right. In the end, he was hunted down by the combined forces of the cultivation world back then. He ended up in the same fate as his founding master, "Nine Tails sneered.
"But how did this poison end up in the hands of the Tenshou?" Sei Itō asked doubtfully.
"Who knows?" Nine Tails glanced at Sei Itō as if he was an idiot and sneered.
Sei Itō did not mind and shrugged indifferently.
"Since you have nothing else to do here, I won't stay any longer. Goodbye," Nine Tails stood up and said goodbye.
"Alright," Sei Itō also stood up and said goodbye.
In the next moment, Nine Tails' body flashed and turned into a stream of light, disappearing before his eyes.

There was no such thing as an airtight wall in the world. Soon, the news that the Kokyo in Tokyo and most of the Imperial family living there had been killed spread through other channels. Ordinary Japanese people, especially those living in downtown Tokyo who had personally experienced the shocking impact of the short battle, were filled with panic. They ignored the dangers of the monsters that had not been completely cleared out and fled to other cities with their families.
Among them, the first choice was Akikuruno City, which had an extremely high level of security and environment.
A large number of people continuously poured into Akikuruno City, providing a lot of motivation for the development of Akikuruno City's humanities.
At the same time, in the Akikuruno Palace in Nara Prefecture, Yoshiko's parents, elder sister, younger brother, and a small number of Imperial family members who lived nearby gathered here, their faces gloomy.
"Everyone, tell us." The master of the Akikuruno Palace, Yoshiko's father, and the son of the Emperor who had been killed by Sei Itō, Prince Mongren sat on the main seat and looked at everyone in the room and sighed.
Everyone looked at each other. They didn't know what to do.
"Father, do you want to ask for the divine will of Amaterasu Omikami?" Seeing everyone silent, Prince Mongren couldn't help but suggest.
"Omikami …" Prince Mongren frowned and thought.
"Absolutely not!" An old man who looked to be in his fifties or sixties hurriedly stood up and said anxiously.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on him.
"Why?" Prince Mongren asked.
"Did you forget? Why was the Kokyo destroyed? "The old man reminded.
In an instant. Everyone's mind recalled the contents of the information they had received before. — — The enemy defeated the avatar of Omikami and then vented on the Kokyo, destroying it with great force.
In other words, because of Omikami, the enemy implicated their Imperial family.
"Then what do you think we should do!" Another young man who looked to be in his forties with shiny black hair asked in a deep voice.
"This …" The old man's face showed an awkward expression. He sat down dejectedly.
For a moment, the room fell silent again. Only the sound of each other's breathing could be heard in the room.
"That, about Her Highness Yoshiko …" At this time, another man spoke up.
"What?" Prince Mongren frowned and asked.
Prince Mongren's head was full of questions regarding Prince Yoshiko. After all, according to the information he had received, the murderer who killed his father, destroyed the Kokyo, and indirectly killed a large number of Imperial family members was Yoshiko's nominal fiancé — Sei Itō. Logically speaking, he should have ordered Yoshiko to be recalled and then cut off all contact with Sei Itō.
But when he thought of the other party's ability to defeat even Amaterasu Omikami, Prince Mongren hesitated. Wen Ren had to hesitate again. You must know that this kind of unilateral action was a very serious insult. If he didn't wait for Kaako to come back, their family would follow in the footsteps of the royal family in the Tokyo Imperial Residence. Therefore, he didn't dare to act rashly. He didn't even dare to tell Kaako that Ito Sei was the murderer. He simply said that the royal family was attacked and suffered heavy casualties. He was afraid that Kaako's mood was not right, which would make the other party unhappy and implicate them.
It could be said that. He was now afraid that someone would mention Yoshiko's matter in front of him!
"Can we let Her Highness Yoshiko test that person's attitude? See what his attitude is towards us? "The man carefully looked at Prince Mongren, who didn't look too good, and proposed.
Hearing this, everyone's expression changed slightly. Obviously, they were very interested in this proposal.
"In addition, if that person is willing to help, perhaps Wang Ning can directly surpass His Highness Crown Prince Mongren. With the help of that person, the Emperor's authority will be restored, instead of being separated from the cabinet as it is now! "Then, the man continued.
In an instant, everyone's eyes fell on Prince Mongren.
Since this group of people present came to the Autumn Palace to gather at this time, in addition to living close to each other, it was also because they were close to Prince Mongren and were afraid of Sei Itō. Therefore, if they could take advantage of the death of the Emperor, it was not impossible!
After all, in the hearts of these members of the royal family, there had always been such a wild ambition, that was to restore the glory of the Emperor during the Meiji period!
In fact, since the emergence of Amaterasu, their royal family's prestige had been restored a lot. At least the cabinet now treated the royal family's orders as perfunctorily as before. However, it was still a lot worse than the Meiji period when the government's orders came from the Imperial Palace, so the members of the royal family didn't have much to gain. This made them, who already had a big backer, feel very unwilling!
But there was no other way. After eighty to ninety years of tossing and turning, the new interest group had already formed. They were not willing to hand over the benefits in their hands! Just like the saying: Cutting off one's path to wealth is equivalent to killing one's parents. It was an irreconcilable hatred!
"Shut up! I will pretend that I didn't hear this today! Don't forget, we are the descendants of Amaterasu Omikami! "Prince Mongren shouted angrily, his whole body exuding a sense of majesty.
"Yes." Seeing that Prince Mongren was angry, whether it was true or not, the other members of the royal family knelt down and replied respectfully.
"Okay, let's go. I will contact Kayako and ask her to find out what that person's intentions are." Prince Mongren said.
"Yes." Everyone replied in unison, stood up from the tatami, bowed, and left the room, leaving only Prince Mongren and his daughter, Prince Mongren, in the room.
"Father." After everyone left, Prince Mongren called out softly.
"Prince Mongren, give Kayako a call and ask her to go see that person." Prince Mongren sighed softly and ordered.
"Yes." Prince Mongren nodded, understanding what his father meant.
"Okay, you can leave too." Prince Mongren said without waiting for Prince Mongren to speak.
"Yes." The Prince opened his mouth, but in the end, he could only helplessly agree. He stood up from the tatami, turned around, and walked out, leaving Prince Wenren alone in the room. His eyes were in a daze, and no one knew what he was thinking.
…
"Princess Kayako, it's a call from Prince Mongren." In the Akikuruno Palace in Akikuruno City, a young maid wearing a plain kimono knelt in the hallway and spoke to Prince Mongren who was in a daze.
"Ah? Oh, I know. "Prince Mongren paused for a moment, then replied.
Then, she stood up from the tatami and walked elegantly to another room under the guidance of the maid. She picked up the telephone placed at the side and put it to her ear.
"This is Prince Mongren." Prince Mongren said.
"Prince Mongren, it's your elder sister." Prince Mongren's voice came from the phone.
"Elder sister, what's the matter?" Prince Mongren asked curiously.
"Can't I call you if there's nothing?" Prince Mongren deliberately asked.
"How could that be?" Prince Mongren whispered.
"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. This time, there is indeed something I need to trouble you with." Prince Mongren's voice became serious.
"What is it?" Prince Mongren asked.
"Let's go pay a visit to that lord." Prince Mongren sighed.
Prince Mongren didn't like Sei Itō, but considering his relationship with the imperial family, especially their family, she had no choice but to go against her will and call him Sei Itō respectfully. Just thinking about it made her feel uncomfortable.
"Eh? Why? "Prince Mongren was even more puzzled.
"Father wants to know what that lord's attitude towards our imperial family is." Prince Mongren directly stated.
"His attitude towards our imperial family?" Prince Mongren was even more confused.
"Alright, don't ask so much. Just do as elder sister says." Prince Mongren didn't explain much and directly requested as an elder sister.
"Then, alright, I'll go pay him a visit." Prince Mongren hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
