Previously, because Kujou Kaname was almost certain that Kujou Mion had betrayed him, he hadn't bothered to look closely at Kujou Toukawa's head. But now, upon closer inspection of the supernatural power emanating from it, his wine-red pupils trembled slightly.

"This is?!!!"

Kujo Mion's red lips were outlined with a faint smile.

It's clear that Kujou Shinobu has already reached a conclusion.

Next, it's up to you to guide the other person and get them to follow your plan.

“That’s right, Uncle Shu Shinobu.”

"This is a residual power that does not belong to the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain, nor to Xia Rilinli, nor to blood-related supernatural abilities."

"It's another superhuman hidden within the Superpower Association!"

"Moreover, the opponent's strength is between the A-level and B-level thresholds."

"When Kenta and I fell from the building, we were on the ground floor, and we saw Uncle Togawa... just beheaded by a superhuman..."

"If we were a little faster, I feel we could have saved Uncle Tangchuan..."

At this point, Kujo Mion showed a perfectly timed expression of sadness, clenching her fists as if she were lamenting her own insignificance.

"The other party is wearing a golden bird mask, so they must be one of the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain!"

"After that, Kenta and I fought together, but we were no match for the enemy's powerful offensive capabilities."

"Kenta was killed by her and turned into a pool of blood."

"I couldn't bear to leave Uncle Tangchuan's body exposed outside, so I grabbed a piece of his body and ran away as fast as I could, ran away as fast as I could!"

Even if I'm seriously injured along the way, I'll still run away no matter what!

"Just when they were about to be caught up, the other side heard a loud noise and then sped off in that direction."

"That's how I survived."

Kujo Mion only stated the 'facts' she described, without trying to manipulate Kujo Toru's thoughts.

He will fill in the rest himself.

According to Kujo Mien's assumptions, the situation the other party was imagining was nothing more than the lord of Xiahuo Mountain having a hidden trick up his sleeve, concealing a powerful member in the shadows, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The departure of that member afterward is quite easy to imagine; it was simply because the battle between the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain and Xia Ri Taihu caused a great commotion, and she went back to help.

However, when Kujo Mion looked at Kujo Kaname, she found that the other man's wine-red pupils were fixed on the strange power without moving, and his breathing became rapid, his chest heaving up and down, as if he was very angry.

His emotions conveyed a sense of disbelief.

Then, Kujou Kaname conjured a bloody hand from thin air and smashed Kujou Toukawa's head with a crack, splattering blood all over the ground.

And the pale golden energy was about to overflow.

However, it was immediately gripped and enveloped by Kujou Kaname's blood-red hand, hovering in front of his eyes for close examination.

As Kujou Shinobu's rapid breathing grew, the atmosphere became increasingly heavy.

Finally, he let out a long sigh.

"Xia Yuanliu, what a brilliant tactic!!!"

Kujo Bien: "????"

Upon hearing this, she froze on the spot. How did things suddenly turn around and involve Xia Yuanliu?

Then, Kujou Shinobu looked at Kujou Mion, his expression no longer sharp and full of killing intent, but softened.

"Meiyuan, I've wronged you."

"All of this is Xia Yuanliu's conspiracy."

"The person with the golden bird mask is not a member of the Lord of Xiahuo Mountain, but a member of the Xia Ri Zaibatsu."

"If I hadn't been fortunate enough to witness this ability before, I would have truly been fooled by that old bastard Xia Yuanliu!"

Kujou Shinobu stared intently at the pale golden energy before him, and gritted his teeth as he spoke.

"This is a unique aura ability possessed by the Chikari lineage of the Summer Zaibatsu!!!"

"I must say, Xia Yuanliu was very thoughtful. He even changed the color of the Qi ability through some special method. But I fought against the Qian Shou lineage back then, and this achievement was not made public. So even that old man Xia Yuanliu didn't know that I had witnessed the Qi ability!"

The Senkuri lineage is a lineage that the summer zaibatsu (financial conglomerates) have reclaimed in the last ten years or so.

Originally, this lineage lived in a remote mountain village and was not known to the public. When he was young, Kujou Kaname once encountered a member of this lineage in a deep mountain forest and fought with him.

Finally, he successfully killed him. Later, the Thousand Hunting lineage was subdued by Xia Yuanliu and continued to hunt strange creatures alone, never engaging in combat with superhumans.

Very few people have ever witnessed the Thousand Hunts lineage killing strange beings, let alone personally experiencing the terror of Qi supernatural abilities.

As for Xia Yuanliu's purpose, Kujou Shinobu thought about it for a moment.

It's easy to guess.

Use yourself to save others.

Just as he plotted to seize the Summer God and the Summer Zaibatsu's profits, the Summer Zaibatsu itself was thinking the same thing.

The four top conglomerates.

No matter which one is weakened, the share of the other three cakes will increase significantly.

Summer Day Ryu's alliance with the Kujo Zaibatsu was feigned, or rather, it could be said to be genuine.

Because there is no conflict between uniting with the Kujo Zaibatsu, weakening the Kujo Zaibatsu, and eliminating the Xia Huo Shan.

This will also result in a win-win situation for both the Summer Zaibatsu and the Kujo Zaibatsu, with the Summer Zaibatsu winning twice and the Kujo Zaibatsu losing everything.

The thinking and actions of the ability users of the Senju lineage are also very simple and clear: their initial goal was to eliminate Kujo Togawa, Kujo Kenta, and Kujo Mion.

This is based on importance.

Kujo Togawa is an A-rank sorcerer, a support character but not very strong in combat, so he should be killed first. Kujo Kenta, on the other hand, is a blood-type ability user, so he should be killed second.

Kujo Mion was the least important, so she was killed last.

However, Kujo Mion had a high level of combat awareness, so she couldn't be killed immediately. It was only after the explosion that the Chikari lineage abandoned their pursuit of the least important Kujo Mion and went to help Natsuhi Yasutora.

If it weren't for Kujo Mion bringing back Kujo Tokawa's head and discovering information about his ki ability, it would have been a huge mistake.

He'll probably still be kept in the dark.

Thinking of this, he spoke in a slightly gentle tone.

"Meiyuan, go to my private stash and get a blood-nourishing food to replenish your energy."

"As for Xia Yuanliu..."

We'll see!

Kujo Bien: "????"

She remains oblivious to this day.

What the hell is going on?

……

……

Chapter 167: Chikuri Shin: "I hope everyone's alright."

Summer Flower Painting: "..."

When she hid in Naraku's eyes and saw Kujou Toru's outrageous actions, she imagined the whole story.

After throwing a large, black pot at Xia Yuanliu's head, he couldn't help but fall silent.

However, this is undoubtedly a good thing for her.

This misunderstanding will undoubtedly create a deep and invisible chasm in the cooperative relationship between the Kujo Zaibatsu and the Natsuhi Zaibatsu.

And Kujo Mien will be safe.

There could be no more perfect ending.

A world where no one gets hurt has been achieved.

Summer Flower walked lightly on her tiptoes, with Chikari Makoto, dressed in a pretty maid outfit, following closely behind.

She slowly walked out of her dark and quiet room.

In an instant, she was bathed in the sunshine of a clear sky, the warm and gentle sunlight shining upon her, making her appear beautiful and serene, like a masterpiece of art.

Looking out over the summer flowers, the bright sky stretches endlessly, a sight that soothes the soul.

Xiahuo Mountain is also one.

Mount Xiahuo is about to emerge from the shadows, revealing its true power to the world and shaking it to its core.

In the process of demonstrating power, it is inevitable that one or two victims or stepping stones will appear.

She gently placed her hand on the wooden railing, then looked at the enormous oak tree in the center of the ancestral home. It was the height of summer, and it should have been thriving, but now its once lush green leaves were interspersed with yellow leaves.

Patches of decay appeared at the base, emitting a faint stench.

Even though it was irrigated with extraordinary materials by a summer household and possessed some extraordinary properties, after an incredibly long period of time, this oak tree inevitably weakened.
