"otherwise......."

Before Huang could finish speaking, he pushed open the door and left, leaving behind a room full of clan leaders with varying expressions, as well as two Konoha advisors with livid faces.

Although Hiruzen Sarutobi, the Hokage, did not show any clear attitude on his face, he had already made some decisions in his heart.

'The massacre of the Uchiha clan had a profound impact on Ara Uchiha; some of his previous beliefs may have begun to waver, and Sasuke's training will need to be put on the agenda.'

'But this is for the best. To dare utter such extreme words in such a situation truly pushes the Uchiha into a completely helpless predicament.'

'He's still just a naive child.'

After leaving the meeting room and moving to a secluded corner, Huang swayed slightly, coughed up a mouthful of blood, but quickly recovered and walked back to the clan's territory.

Of course, all of this was also seen clearly by the hidden agents in the surrounding area.

.......

"Onmyoji, my little darlings have taken care of both of them."

The strange yet excited voice of the sorcerer reached my ears.

Huang's gaze regained focus.

In sight, there was no blood, not even a fragment of clothing remained.

Insects are indeed masters at destroying evidence.

So next:

Three azure-blue intermediate-level contract talismans slowly materialized in front of him.

Chapter 99 [The Undying Karmic Flame] · [Lord of Tales]

"The demon from the other shore, following my blood, descended upon this realm, forging an eternal pact."

Blood stains the talisman, accompanied by murmured chants.

As the last word fell, a cluster of bewitching flames suddenly began to devour the azure rune.

At the same time, the surroundings became scorching hot, and every drop of moisture in the air seemed to evaporate because of the appearance of this cluster of flames.

"This aura is..."

Yan murmured involuntarily, a hint of fear appearing in her tiny eyes, as if some unpleasant memories had been stirred up.

"Ok?"

"Besides me, have you had any other interactions with other monsters?"

Qing tilted its little head, its eyes full of curiosity and questions. They lived together in one place and had virtually no secrets between them.

No, that's not entirely true.

After all, the swallow existed more than a decade or even several decades earlier, and it knew nothing about the former's past.

And just then, an extremely frivolous voice rang out in this space:

"Oh my, isn't this the little monster who trespassed into Phoenix Forest back then?"

"They're still alive!"

At the same moment, this region seemed to have fallen into an endless fiery domain, with scorching flames consuming everything that contained the breath of life.

Hearing such a voice, Yan's resentment intensified, but beneath that anger lay even greater fear.

Back then, it entered Phoenix Forest with the last obsession of the parasitic puppet, and that's where it encountered its opponent, Phoenix Fire, the devout guardian of the Phoenix Shrine!

After being tainted by the inextinguishable phoenix flames, it barely managed to escape with all its might. As for the warrior puppet it was parasitizing, it was burned to ashes in the instant it was near.

That was the greatest terror Yan had ever encountered since her birth.

It was also the only time he so clearly experienced the taste of death.

Yes, it is one's own death.

Now, it has recovered to its peak, and its strength has even increased further because it absorbed a large amount of resentment a few months ago. However, when it faces the opponent again, it still feels fear from the depths of its soul.

Yan did not answer, but silently watched the other person. Even Qing, who was usually mischievous, obediently chose to remain silent after sensing the oppressive and sensitive atmosphere.

Phoenix Fire was not annoyed by the lack of response, but instead turned its gaze to the little guy in its line of sight.

"And you? Onmyoji, why did you summon me?"

Her long, crimson hair moved without wind, and flame-shaped patterns adorned her forehead, ankles, and clothing. Her every gesture exuded an air of elegance and nobility.

The phoenix is ​​a mythical bird.

Even the fire that fell from Him, which transformed into a monster, is an exceptionally noble being.

"revenge."

"I need strength."

He speaks frankly and directly.

Because of the binding of the contract talisman, he was not worried that this great demon, who was on the same level as the Snow Woman, would harm him.

In exchange, I will do my best to fulfill one of your wishes.

He continued, his gaze calm yet sincere and earnest.

"Oh? A wish?"

What you said is quite interesting.

"Then, hand over the two little monsters on your shoulders to me."

"I have a bit of a grudge against them."

Phoenix Fire lowered her eyelids slightly, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, revealing a bewitching expression.

Upon hearing this, the two little bluebirds suddenly tensed up.

Especially green.

It has only been born for a short time, has not yet tasted more resentment, has not yet found a more satisfactory host, and has not yet had a good time to play and live. How can it die young!

However, the opponent was a lord-level demon far more powerful than them, and even Yan could only remain silent when facing it directly.

Moreover, sacrificing the life of a weaker yokai to gain the full support of a stronger one. Especially when the summoner is deeply obsessed with revenge, who wouldn't be able to make the right choice?

"No."

"Qing and Yan are not only my shikigami, but also my partners."

“I made the same commitment to them.”

Huang looked at the great demon in his field of vision and said, word by word.

These words made Qing, who was feeling lost, straighten up. She subtly reached out her little paw again and touched the boy's neck, as if to say, "Good lad, you're a good friend."

Even Yan, who was usually so mature, had a special look in her eyes.

Monsters are much simpler than humans.

Even if they have lived for much longer.

"Eh~"

"Of all the humans I've ever met, you're the second one who has ever amused me."

"Then let me see how long and how far your flame of life can burn."

Phoenix Fire's voice was full of energy and dynamism, and she made no further mention of the two birds that had entered the room, as if this was a test for her.

Moreover, that person once told her:

'You should try to understand other meanings of life.'

Perhaps this sudden cross-dimensional summons is a new guidance from that great one.

For a moment, Huang was at a loss for words.

However, he could sense that the other party was willing to lend him their power.

"Well, if one day you think of other wishes, you can tell me."

As he finished speaking, the phoenix mark that had been etched on the back of his hand disappeared.

The powerful combat strength that had been missing due to Shirley's slumber was thus replenished, especially since the woman before them was a great fire-attribute demon who was a perfect match for her.

【Phoenix Fire】: A monster born from the flames of a phoenix.

They have always protected the shrine in Phoenix Forest.

Her existence was meant to burn herself out.

I love listening to stories, and I once used the Undying Flame to light up a young girl's life, allowing her to continue weaving more and better stories.

Perhaps, seeing that person again is her last wish.

The phoenix, reborn from the ashes, is so beautiful.

Huang regained his composure.

There were two contract talismans in front of him.

His primary goal in leaving Konoha this time was to elevate his strength to a new peak.
