When the Kamisato brothers and sisters left Inazuma Castle, they had already clearly felt the changes in the surrounding environment.

The number of yakuza and sea demons in the wild is increasing.

On the way back to Kamisato-yashiki and toward Narukami-taisha, the two had encountered several attacks by bandits, including the Nobushi, Kairanki, and the treasure-stealing group.

Many shogunate soldiers who had just joined the Nobushi-shu revealed to these bandits the news that the fighting on the front lines was fierce and the losses were heavy.

This made the ambushers on Narukami Island excited, and they began to ambush lone people in the wild without restraint.

Some of the shogunate troops who had just become yakuza did not even change their clothes. They still wore the shogunate's clothes and armor and robbed people on the road.

When these fleeing shogunate troops in armor saw the Kamisato brothers and sisters, they were stunned at first, then immediately turned around and ran away.

Kamisato Ayato tried to call out to the fleeing remnants of the shogunate army, but whether out of fear or guilt, they ran faster after hearing his shouts.

……

Outside the Guardian Forest, the brother and sister successfully repelled the last wave of attacks from the Nobushikoku.

This was their last battle before heading to Narukami Taisha Shrine.

The brother and sister Kamisato Ayato and Kamisato Ayaka stood together on the blood-stained ground, with the bodies of the Nobushi lying all around them.

Ayato put away the "Harangetsu Hakujin" in his hand and said in a heavy tone: "In just one day, so many nobushi appeared. It seems that the situation in Inazuma is really going to become chaotic."

Ayaka wiped her secondary sword, the Amame Kage Uchikata, with a worried look on her face, and said to Ayato: "Brother, I really can't imagine what will happen in the next few days."

"Those defenseless merchants will probably be brutally killed by these ambushers..."

Ayato looked up at the Narugami Shrine on the Kagemukai Mountain and said with a firm gaze, "Therefore, we must discuss countermeasures with Lord Yae as soon as possible."

……

A group of believers gathered outside the Mingjin Taisha Shrine.

Some believers were crying to the shrine maidens in great grief because the bodies of their loved ones were still floating on the sea, and they hoped that the Narujin Taisha Shrine could come forward to salvage them;

Some believers pray for a good fortune for their family members whose lives are in danger. The witches are extremely busy and overwhelmed dealing with various situations.

However, Yae Miko stood quietly in the middle of the shrine's courtyard, gazing at the sacred cherry tree with gentle eyes, and fell into deep thought.

A hint of sadness and helplessness appeared on her beautiful face.

"'True', now Inazuma is facing a critical moment of life and death. How can I calm Shao Yun's anger? I care about Ying, but I can't watch Inazuma go to destruction."

At this moment, a petal of the sacred cherry tree fell quietly, as if guided by fate, and gently landed on the head of Yae Shinto.

She subconsciously reached out her hand and carefully removed the petals, trying to decipher some mysterious message from them.

However, this petal was just an ordinary cherry blossom and did not give her any inspiration.

Yae Shinko tightly grasped the cherry blossom petals in her hand, gnashing her teeth and angrily said, "Shadow! You damned otaku, you are hiding in the Pure Land and enjoying your leisure time, leaving the country to that puppet general to manage."

"We should have taken care of it, but the puppet general made a mess of it and issued those damn eye hunting orders and the national isolation order."

"Just announce it. I can help you clean up the mess, but why did you anger Shao Yun? Inazuma is really going to be finished now!"

Just when Yae Kamiko was feeling melancholy, Inashiro Hotaru came over, panting and sweating. She panted and said, "Palace Master, Kamisato's brother and sister want to see you."

After hearing the news, Yae Shinko took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and then replied: "Let them in."

At this moment, the Kamisato siblings were standing outside the shrine. Their appearance immediately attracted the attention and enthusiastic response of the surrounding believers.

Some believers immediately gathered around the two and began to ask questions at once, with all kinds of questions emerging one after another.

A woman pleaded anxiously, "Princess Shiraha, Lord Kamisato, please help us! My husband is still adrift on the sea, and his life or death is unknown."

Another person asked worriedly, "Sir Kamisato, I heard that Orobas has been resurrected. Is this true? If He comes back again, how should we deal with it?"

Faced with so many questions and requests, the Kamisato siblings felt a little overwhelmed and tried their best to respond and comfort everyone.

"Please rest assured that we will do our best to investigate this matter and ensure everyone's safety."

However, due to the large number of people, questions came one after another, and the siblings found it difficult to answer them one by one.

Fortunately, Inashiro Hotaru arrived in time, rescued the two from the crowd, and apologized to them.

"I am so sorry, Lord Kamisato, Miss Linghua, the chief priest is waiting for you two in front of the sacred cherry tree. Just leave this to us."

Kamisato Ayato smiled and waved his hand, indicating that it was okay.

Under the guidance of Inashiro Hotaru, the Kamisato siblings came to the sacred cherry tree and met Yae Kamiko.

Daocheng Yingmei then left to receive other believers.

Yae Shinko looked at the two of them and said calmly, "Let me guess, I'm afraid what you bring is not good news, right?"

Kamisato Ayato nodded and said solemnly: "Yes, Lord Yae, the situation is worse than we thought."

As he spoke, he took out the information collected by the final mission from his sleeve, and also informed Yae Shenzi in detail about the increase in the number of wild ambush people he and Ling Hua encountered along the way.

Yae Shinko flipped through the information in his hand, frowned slightly, and looked a little worried.

As she read, she whispered, "Shao Yun led the army of Haizhi Island to capture the Jiujo Jinya, and the soldiers of Tianling Bugyo suffered heavy casualties."

"In addition, some deserters from the shogunate army became rioters, causing trouble everywhere and seriously disrupting the social order in Inazuma."

"As for Orobas' resurrection, it's just a rumor, but Shao Yun's purpose in doing this may be related to Ying..."

At this point, she sighed softly. Why would the puppet general, who had been silent for a month, hold the Eye Hunting Order on that day?

Kamisato Ayato frowned slightly, and after thinking for a moment, he said seriously to Yae Shinko: "Master Yae Gongsi, how about we go to the Jiujo Formation House and have a talk with Shao Yun?"

He feels this is a key step in solving the current problem.

Yae Shinko nodded solemnly.

"We have to go, but before that, we have to deal with the problem of the Nobushige people first."

"Ayato, how many people do you have available now? I don't expect you to completely eliminate these ambush people, as long as you can ensure the safety of the roads."

He estimated in his mind the existing manpower and resources of the shrine bugyo. Although the shrine bugyo was mainly in charge of sacrificial activities and humanities and arts, there were not many samurai, but with the last one around, that shouldn't be a problem.

Kamisato Ayato replied cautiously: "If it's just to protect the safety of the road, it should be able to cope with it."

Yae Shinko nodded with satisfaction, breathed a sigh of relief, and said, "That's good. You should first focus on ensuring the safety of the roads."

"As for the Tenryo Bugyo, if they have any objections to this, let that old fellow Kujo Takayuki come to me in person."

There is no time for internal fighting now. If Kujo Takayuki really dares to make trouble, then Yae Shinto will have to clean up the mess.

Kamisato Ayato nodded in agreement, then turned to look at Kamisato Ayaka beside him.

"Linghua, can I let you take charge of this matter?"

On the one hand, we are really short of people now, and Thomas is still within the scope of the Eye Hunting Order and cannot get away at all.

On the other hand, he also believed in his sister's ability, and there shouldn't be any problem if she was just protecting the safety of the road.

Kamisato Ayaka nodded firmly without hesitation and accepted the task.

"Brother, please rest assured, leave this matter to me!"

……

Afterwards, Kamisato Ayaka hurried back to Kamisato House and began to arrange personnel to protect the safety of the road from the outlying island to Inazuma Castle.

However, it will take time to verify and observe what road safety protection work can achieve.

At the same time, Kamisato Ayato followed Yae Kamiko and the shrine maidens to deal with the believers who came to pray or complain.

They were busy all the time until nightfall, when the believers gradually dispersed.

In the dead of night, Kamisato Ayato and Yae Kamiko led four members of the final group carrying a boat and quietly arrived at Ganjin Island.

With the help of the faint moonlight, the two men gazed at the densely packed corpses of the Shogunate's soldiers floating on the sea. The air was filled with a disgusting stench.

The blood-stained sea water hit the beach from time to time, and some human tissues also drifted to the shore with the waves, attracting a large number of flies buzzing around.

Yae Shenzi covered his mouth and nose tightly, squinted his eyes, and said vigilantly: "Something is wrong, these corpses seem to be trapped in this sea area!"

Kamisato Ayato was stunned when he heard this, and asked in confusion: "Master Yae, what do you mean by this?"

Yae Shinko stretched out a finger, pointed at the blood-red seawater ahead that was emitting a foul smell, and said with a frown, "Look over there, the seawater dyed red by blood and the floating corpses can't float away at all, they are all gathered here."

Kamisato Ayato looked in the direction that Yae Shinko pointed, and sure enough, there seemed to be an invisible barrier in the distance, separating the blood-red sea and the floating corpses on the sea.

These floating corpses and the bloody sea water seemed to be controlled by some force, gathering in the sea area between Ming Shen Island and Takanashi Sand.

Kamisato Ayato nodded slightly and said solemnly: "Although we don't know why, we should salvage these bodies as soon as possible. Otherwise, once a plague is formed, the consequences will be disastrous."

Yae Shinko nodded slightly to show his agreement.

"After I meet Shao Yun, I will send a witch to clean it up. I hope it won't affect the sacred cherry tree."

After saying that, she turned to look at Kamisato Ayato and signaled him to get the boat ready.

Immediately afterwards, Kamisato Ayato waved his hand, and the four members of the Final Ban immediately took action. They placed a wooden boat on their shoulders on the beach.

Kamisato Ayato and Yae Kamiko sat on the wooden boat.

The four of them worked together to push the boat, and finally succeeded in sending the boat carrying Kamisato Ayato and Yae Kamiko into the sea filled with corpses and blood.

Just as the four members of the final chapter were about to board the ship, Kamisato Ayato unexpectedly reached out and stopped them.

"You just stay on the shore and wait. Yae Gongji and I will go to the Kujo Jinya alone."

Hearing this, the four members of the finale looked at each other, their hearts filled with confusion and worry.

Finally, one of the members of the finale couldn't help but ask, "Master Kamisato, isn't it unsafe to do this? After all, you and Master Yaemiya are about to go to the rebels' territory. If something unexpected happens..."

Facing everyone's concerns, Kamisato Ayato smiled and explained: "Lord Yae Gongji and I are just going to talk to Shao Yun. I firmly believe that Shao Yun will be willing to give us this face."

However, the man from the final chapter still had doubts and continued to ask: "But what if he doesn't give you face?"

Kamisato Ayato's face turned somewhat helpless, and he slowly replied: "If Shao Yun really doesn't want to give us face, then even if all the members of the final group go with us, it will be useless."

"It would be better if Yae and I went there in person to show our sincerity."

The people in the final group nodded vigorously, their eyes full of concern and blessings, and said: "Then Kamisato-sama, Yaemiya-sama, you must be more careful! We are waiting here for your safe return."

Kamisato Ayato nodded slightly and reminded them to stay vigilant and be careful of possible dangers.

Then, he gripped the oars tightly and rowed the boat hard towards the direction of the Jiujo Formation House.

As the ship moved forward, it entered this area filled with the breath of death.

The corpses floating on the water occasionally hit the hull, making a dull sound.

Some of the floating corpses had become swollen beyond recognition after just one day and emitted a disgusting odor.

……

On the other side, the Nine-Tree Array House late at night.

Ever since Shao Yun finished talking with that devil, he has been sitting next to the Sanmen Shenju Island Bengpao, from morning to afternoon, and now until late at night.

From time to time, the sea breeze would bring a salty and wet stench of corpses and decay.

At this time, Teppei had spread his lies to the remaining resistance forces. Everyone was very excited and believed that all this was due to Orobath's protection.

Just as Shao Yun was thinking about how to spread rumors on Ming Shen Island that Orobas had returned for revenge, Teppei suddenly ran over in a hurry and shouted, "Report, General Shao Yun, there is a small boat from Ming Shen Island heading towards Kujo Jinya!"

Shao Yun was stunned and asked doubtfully: "A small boat?"

Zheping nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, it is a small boat. Excuse me, do you want to shoot an arrow?"

Shao Yun immediately stood up, took out a telescope from the Eastern Legend backpack, and began to search the sea. Sure enough, he saw a small boat.

Shao Yun raised the telescope, put his eyes close to the tube, and observed the small boat carefully.

Suddenly, he was surprised to find that Kamisato Ayato and Yae Kamiko were sitting on the boat.

I saw Kamisato Ayato rowing the boat, while Yae Kamiko stood at the bow, slowly moving towards the direction of Kujo Jinya.

Shao Yun stared at the two men, feeling a little confused.

Although the specific purpose of their visit is unclear, on the surface, they do not seem to be causing trouble.

Although, the unpleasantness between him and the Kamisato family has passed, and the other party has apologized, the matter has long been put to rest.

As for Yae Shinko, he had no deep hatred towards her.

Thinking of this, Shao Yun gently put down the telescope, turned to Zheping and said, "I saw it, it's a guest from Ming Shen Island. Tell everyone not to be nervous, everything can be as usual."

Upon hearing this, Zheping immediately nodded and replied, "Yes!" Then he turned and left, conveying the message to the rebels to prevent them from opening fire.

Then, Shao Yun stared at the boat that was getting closer and closer, and whispered, "I hope you guys are not stupid enough to try to assassinate me, otherwise you will really make me laugh to death."
