The tomb-eating vines are still working diligently, and the teeth-grinding sounds are heard one after another. It will take some time to clear out the thousands of terracotta warriors and horses underground.

After watching for a while, the four of them decided to go back to the shrine to rest. The priestess Anian also had to hold a meeting with other priestesses to discuss the next course of action.

Under Uchiha Tajima's strong request, Anian reluctantly agreed that their ninjas could go into the mountains to hunt for food.

"You can only eat as much as you kill. You cannot hunt for any purpose other than eating. Do you hear me?"

"Little girl, if you keep talking nonsense, I will hang the prey I caught in front of your door."

Thousand-Handed Buddha was really enlightened. Who could have thought that one day he would actually act together with his old rival and participate in a just war involving the survival of the world.

If he told his wife about this, she would probably laugh so hard that the tablet would fall down.

On the way back, Kyojuro asked about the ghosts that he was most concerned about.

"What exactly are ghosts? Are they the souls of the dead?"

Ah Nian shook his head. "Rather than calling it a soul, it's better to call it an obsession. The soul will return to the underworld when it dies, but an obsession that is too strong may remain."

"The crystal ball I sold to you Uchiha earlier is a tool that can absorb obsessions."

The chief priestess was also worried that the ninja family was too obsessed with killing and murderous, so she specially selected the most effective crystal ball.

As far as she knew, the monsters were able to absorb the negative obsessions that remained in the human world. She also didn't know whether the earliest great priestess got inspiration from the monsters, allowing the priestesses of the Ghost Kingdom to learn how to peel off and purify those obsessions.

Obsession...

"…They are trapped where they are…"

Kyojuro muttered to himself, and when Uchiha Tajima asked, he shook his head and said nothing.

……

"That's it, Grandmaster," Anian told the chief witch everything he had experienced during the day, and when he got excited he even took out a pen and paper to start drawing.

"That flame boy summoned two kinds of plants. One is called Sunshine Mushroom, which can transform dead air into life. When we left, I deliberately sensed the land around the sealed area. The dead air has been weakened by 10%. I believe it won't be long before that land will welcome life again."

"There is another kind, called the Monument Devouring Vine." At this point, Ah Nian shuddered, "It seems to have been summoned from the underworld."

“Although it can indeed devour those stone figurines, if it gets entangled with a living person, it will probably send the living person directly to the realm of death.”

The Great Witch listened to the replay with a smile, "But you didn't stop it~"

Ah Nian stammered a few times, "...the Flame Boy promised that he would control them."

And he was staring at her with that kind of eyes, how could she not believe it!

It was sparkling, like a flame in the dark night, and the flame even fluttered and wanted to ignite her...

Excessive!

Ah Nian shook his head, getting rid of the flame boy's smile, and quickly changed the subject.

"If we want to completely kill Wuliang, we must first revive him. Do we really want to release Wuliang?"

"Ah, ghost..."

The chief witch sighed and fell silent.

The duties of the priestess are to guard, purify and seal. They should not think about releasing the seal, but if the monster is not completely resurrected, it is impossible to truly kill him.

If you want to truly revive Wuliang, you must let all of his power return to his body, but...

The most hidden power of the demons lies in the witch...

She is already ninety years old and should have died long ago, but Anian is still so young. If the ghost really wants to be resurrected, let her become the sacrifice.

The chief witch said slowly, "Anian, call the other witches here. We need to do a preparatory ceremony first."

"What preparation ritual?"

"Prepare some amulets, and take care of the magic-breaking bow we're going to use. Their ninjas are very powerful, and the miko must have ways to protect themselves."

"You and I will preside over this ceremony together."

"Okay, Master!"

After Ah Nian left, the adult witch who had been waiting outside came in. She looked at the head witch worriedly, "Mother, do you really want to do this?"

The elder witch held the adult witch's hand with her aged hand, patted it gently and said in comfort, "Ling, your sister has passed away. I must protect Anian. I have lived long enough."

"But……"

"Be good, after the ceremony is completed, I will face the fate of a shrine maiden as the first great shrine maiden said. You and Anian must guard the shrine well. Even though the monsters have been eliminated, the evil in people's hearts remains. You must fulfill your responsibilities as shrine maidens."

Ling slowly leaned forward, tears streaming down her face, "...Yes, mother."

……

Huang Quan, who was observing the night sky, silently crushed the pen in his hand.

He knew it! He knew it!

When he heard that Uchiha and Senju came to the Land of Demons together to look for the shrine maiden and even stayed at the shrine, he felt that something was wrong.

He had been paying close attention to the changes in the celestial phenomena over the past two days. As expected, on the day Uchiha came, the celestial phenomena that originally indicated a great chaos with black clouds surrounding the moon and red air covering the moon like blood, changed in just one day.

The moon is bright and not hazy. The celestial phenomenon actually tells him that the people of the world can live and work in peace and contentment?

Obviously, the best opportunity to stir up chaos in the world, release monsters, and establish a thousand-year dark kingdom has disappeared.

Is this reasonable? Huh?

The Uchiha and Senju clans, two of the most evil ninja clans, are intervening in this matter?

Have the priestesses already fallen to the point of seeking external help?

They even invited the most expensive Uchiha and Senju families at once. Do the miko have the money to burn? !

Huang Quan has been determined to unify the world since he was young. Even if it means dragging all the people in the world into darkness, it does not matter. Only by establishing a unified kingdom can the world achieve true peace.

His great cause, for which he studied dark medical ninjutsu diligently and selected guards from among hundreds of orphans, the good opportunity he had waited for so long actually disappeared because of two ninjas?

No, he doesn't accept it!

Man can conquer heaven!

Kyojuro's Diary

[The witch Anian said that all ghosts in the world are transformed from human obsessions.

Maybe.

Maybe ghosts from the previous life were like this too.

Peilang, who was eliminated by the gun, insisted on using firearms.

Muzan Kibutsuji, who has been shrouded in the shadow of death since childhood, tried his best to protect himself from death.

Wanting to see everything clearly, Upper Rank One grew six eyes.

They were trapped in the same place by their own obsession, and even though time passed, they remained stagnant.

But the past is past, what is important is the present and the people who are with you.

Keep going, Kyojuro! Come on! 】
