I, the leader of the esoteric sect, am doing great things in the infinite world!

"It's alright." As the general in charge of the Heavenly Ranks and the one who most respected General Raiden, Kujo Sara was very satisfied with Tongxin's dedication to his duties.

But when her gaze swept across the empty tent, the Tengu's expression turned serious.

"I remember that the commander-in-chief of the shogunate army should be Masahiro. He should be in the main camp at this time. Can you tell me where he is?"

Kujo Sara's brows furrowed slightly, and her voice suddenly took on a cold tinge: "If I'm not mistaken, it seems that all the generals in the Kujo Jinya headquarters have already set off for the front lines, and even seventy percent of the accompanying civil officials have gone..."

"If the rebel forces from Haizhi Island were to launch a surprise attack on Jinya at this time, are you prepared?"

Kujo Sara's voice didn't get louder, but the barrage of questions was overwhelming: "I don't need to elaborate on how much the rebels who defied the Eye Hunt Order love to launch surprise attacks, or have you already prepared a complete ambush, waiting for the rebels to take the bait?"

"Can you answer me?"

Kujo Sara stared at the small group of people in front of her. She didn't expect them to be able to answer her questions, but rather she wanted to take this opportunity to give them a good talking-to and thus improve their vigilance and work enthusiasm.

Capitalists often exploit paid workers in similar ways to extract more surplus value.

"This... I'm really capable."

To her surprise, Tongxin wiped the cold sweat from her face.

Even though Lord Kujo Masahito gave some instructions before leaving, the pressure of facing the Tenryō Magistrate General Kujo Sara was still too great.

"About four hours ago, a loud noise came from the direction of the Musou Blade Gorge on Hachiyū Island. Then, giant waves began to crash against Kannazuka and Nashii Beach... submerging half of Kannazuka. As for Nashii Beach, it no longer exists."

Even four hours later, Tongxin was still incredibly shocked when she recounted those words.

For thousands of years, Nashiina has been chosen as a battlefield dozens of times because of its flat and open terrain. Therefore, during peacetime, many poets and novelists come to the ancient battlefield to pay their respects and gather material. Blood-red Dendrobium flowers bloom all over the beach and pebbles.

If you're willing to dig a little deeper, you can find banners and weapons left behind by those who died in battle in previous generations, and you can even see the already fragile skeletons.

But now, all of these things have been submerged by the surging tide, leaving only a vast sea.

"Musou-jin Gorge...?" Kujo Sara's first thought was that the Umijima rebels had seized the Shogunate's National Collapse Cannon and were firing it in a suicidal manner.

But she quickly realized that this was impossible. The National Collapse Cannon could blast through mountains and rocks, but if the lightning element cannonballs were to enter the Wuxiang Blade Gorge, which had been cleaved open by General Thunder, it would be like a drop of water merging into the ocean, without making a ripple.

Not to mention the tide that submerged half of Kannazuka and the entire Nashii Beach... unless someone pushes the original Musou-no-Kage Gorge open to both sides, causing the seawater to flow back in!

Snapped.

Tongxin watched in horror as Kujo Sara suddenly reached out and grabbed his shoulder.

"W-What's wrong, Lord Sara?"

"It's nothing, I lost my composure." Kujo Sara took a deep breath.

The incident occurred in the Musou-no-Kage Gorge, which means there is only one possibility—the snake god talisman set up by Narukami Taisha in the past has malfunctioned, and the resentment of Orobas, which was originally being suppressed, has erupted.

By this time, the inhabitants of Bayun Island were probably all dead.

238 A Transitional Chapter of Utter Boredom

Kujo Sara's face was somewhat pale.

If it were his adoptive father, the head of the Kujo family who had unwavering faith in the power of the Thunder God, he would surely have cried out that it was good he died and drunk three large cups of wine.

The power unleashed by Chongshen is enough to turn the entire Bayun Island upside down. It can wipe out the Haiqi Island resistance forces stationed on Bayun Island in one fell swoop, and also eradicate those civilians who are like reeds that change their minds at the slightest provocation.

As for the fact that half of the island was sent... well, the island is still there, and it just so happens that a large area of ​​land without an owner has been freed up. It's a good thing to share it with the Kansei Magistrate, and to relocate some farm slaves there to create more and more tax revenue for Lord Raijin.

"Where is Kujo Masahiro?" In his haste, Kujo Sara didn't even bother with honorifics.

"Lord Masahito has headed towards the direction of Musou-no-Kage Gorge..."

Kujo Sara said nothing more, and the Lightning Elemental Eye at her waist began to shine brightly.

"Praise be to the mighty deity who manifests his power; faithful believer, with your nine robes, pray to the Yellow Thunder. Svaha!"

Dark wings unfurled behind her, and dark brown lightning coiled around them. The Tengu waved his fan, his wooden clogs lightly touching the ground, and he rode the wind and thunder into the air, speeding towards the direction of the Wuxiang Blade Gorge!

......

"So Kujo Masahito was willing to risk being ambushed by the Umijima rebels in order to spare troops to monitor us?"

Kaedehara Manyo flicked the hilt of his sword with his fingers, showing no complaints about the environment.

The shogunate army's actions were both surveillance and protection; since they left the front line at Musou-no-Kage, they had already encountered three waves of sea monsters.

These wild monsters from Inazuma are actually rebels, ronin, nobushiku, swordsmen obsessed with swordsmanship to the point of demonic possession, and even onmyoji who have inherited the magic of Yuugami Seinosuke. It can be said that their composition is extremely complex.

Unlike Hilichurls and Slimes, they possess complete brains and the ability to think, and they know how to use various tactics, making them a great threat to lone travelers.

Of course, a certain skilled and daring golden retriever idiot is not included in this category.

After several waves of attacks, even the well-equipped shogunate army suffered casualties.

"What exactly are they after?"

Another sea monster had its weapon blocked by a samurai's katana, and then the soldiers on either side quickly stepped forward with their spears and stabbed the sea monster to death.

Seeing this, Nagatoshi couldn't help but ask a question.

“Armor, weapons.” Kaedehara Manyo sighed softly, watching one after another of the sea monsters and nofushi men fall under the combined attack of the shogunate army. “These are enough to make people take risks.”

"Master, what do you think?" After expressing his thoughts, Kaede Manyo turned to ask Li Lin.

"Grain," Li Lin replied succinctly, as he was fiddling with the coral on his arm.

After breaking off a piece of vermilion coral, Li Lin happily threw it into his mouth and crunched it loudly.

Kaedehara Manyo fell silent before nodding: "Yes, I overlooked that point. Food is more important than anything else."

War, disasters, and monsters, along with the chaos caused by the Eye Hunting Order and the resource shortages brought about by the Isolation Order, led General Raiden to isolate himself in the castle tower and leave the country to the Three Commissioners to oversee it. This resulted in a host of problems, large and small, that spread throughout the entire Inazuma territory.

In this situation, the greatest wish of those disaster victims is no longer for land and money, but simply to have enough to eat.

But even if you manage to eat your fill, it's still difficult.

These commoners, far from Narukami Island, rarely use Mora directly for trade in their daily lives. They usually use food to supplement their Mora purchases.

A Mora can sometimes have a purchasing power far exceeding its intrinsic value.

Food played an unimaginable role in this, since being full meant being alive. What could the disaster victims do after their last bit of food was requisitioned by the shogunate army?

Then they had no choice but to become outlaws.

They exchanged children to eat, and to cook with their own flesh and blood. They used their own children to fill their own stomachs, and then took up their own weapons to rob and plunder the flesh and blood of others.

The shogunate's army was well-equipped and well-trained; at least their faces still had color in them, which meant they were well-fed and even able to eat meat.

For the disaster victims, this is a reason enough to risk their lives.

A sudden whistling sound came from the sky, followed by the sound of a bow being drawn and an arrow being shot.

Dozens of jet-black lightning bolts fell from the sky, striking each of the still-resisting sea monsters precisely, but instead of taking their lives, they struck their weapons with pinpoint accuracy.

Lightning bolts traveled along the surface of the steel, instantly causing all the stubbornly resisting enemies to crumble and collapse to the ground.

All the shogunate soldiers put away their weapons and bowed to Kujo Sara as a sign of respect.

Kujo Sara's figure descended from the sky, her black wings opening and closing behind her, her longbow hanging down, and a deep purple light flashing from the Eye of God at her waist.

"Oh no, it's Kujo Sara, the general in charge of the Heavenly Territory."

Kaedehara Manyo gripped the sword at his waist nervously, seemingly intending to ride the wind and leap to escape. Then, remembering that Li Lin was still nearby, he relaxed his guard somewhat.

Although Li Lin acts carefree and without any bottom line, he has never made a mistake in important matters. Rather than directly opposing Kujo Sara, Manyo believes that Li Lin came prepared.

"Kujou Sara is a general under the command of the Heavenly Territory Enforcer, the top henchman of the Thunder General, and the main executor of the Eye Hunt Order. She is exceptionally skilled in martial arts." Kaedehara Manyo stared directly at the tengu who was casting his gaze from not far away. "At the same time, she was also the first obstacle to fight in place of the general during the duel in front of the emperor."

“Correction: I am not fighting in place of the General.” Kujo Sara’s voice came from not far away. “The General’s divine might is like a prison, a harbinger of will, prestige, strength… and even destiny, the convergence point of all noble aspirations.”

"If everyone were to challenge the General, the progress of building an eternal legacy would be greatly slowed down. So I am just helping the General and that's all."

Kujo Sara walked through the crowd to stand before them, looking directly at Kaedehara Manyo.

"I remember you, you little thief who disrupted the royal duel and stole the Eye of God."

"I am truly grateful." Kaedehara Manyo's eyes also sharpened.

"Lord Sara, please don't do it." A member of the comrade stepped forward and quickly explained the situation to Kujo Sara.

Kujo Sara's facial expression quickly shifted from cold to puzzlement, then from puzzlement to shock, and finally from shock to numbness. She then shifted her gaze from Kaedehara Manyo to Li Lin.

Li Lin is kneading flames by hand to prepare a self-sufficient grilled coral dish. Ever since he tasted grilled coral in Liyue Harbor, Master Li has been craving this unique delicacy.

If all else fails, I can always sell roasted coral... That's what the unambitious Li Lin thought.

Judging by appearance alone, it's hard to realize that this young man, who isn't physically strong and has dead fish eyes, is the Liyue Hermit who caused the explosion in the Wuxiang Blade Gorge, released Orobas, and ended the war between the Haizhi Island resistance army and the Shogunate army.

"Who exactly are you?" Kujo Sara finally couldn't hold back and stepped forward to ask Li Lin in a very formal manner.

After finishing the grilled coral, Li Lin felt it was a bit spicy: "I am—"

239 Li Lin, did you sell me?

"--belch."

Mr. Li burped.

Maple Leaf had no choice but to introduce himself on Li Lin's behalf: "This is an immortal from Liyue, whose immortal title is Dongming Lihuo Tianjun, the Savior from Suffering and Calamity."

Kujo Sara didn't know how the ranks of the Liyue immortals were divided, but she had heard that immortals were usually titled "True Lord". Logically speaking, a Celestial Lord should be higher than a True Lord.
