"Perhaps, if you escape from the Summer Palace, I'll find it troublesome and stop hunting you down."

"after all……"

“I haven’t stepped out of the Summer House for decades.”

Xia Yuanliu's aged voice rang out softly. This tone is most commonly heard when old people chat about everyday things, but the words he spoke were so contrasting and incongruous.

Upon hearing this, a hint of emotion flickered in Xia Rilin's mind.

indeed.

If she didn't trust her mother so much, she would have run away by now, but Xia Yuanliu reacted so strongly to the secrets she just revealed.

This proves that what my mother said was absolutely true; the Summer Family Residence was the safest place.

Facing the summer sun willow, Summer Rinrei pursed her pink lips and spoke softly.

"Escape from the Summer Palace?"

"Why should I escape from the Summer Family Mansion? The Summer Family Mansion is the safest place for me as a direct descendant of the Summer Family."

When Xia Yuanliu heard this, his white eyebrows immediately furrowed tightly.

"really."

"You know the secrets of the Summer Palace, you know... the existence of gods."

There was one more thing that Xia Yuanliu didn't say.

That is, Natsumi Rinrei even knows the name of the god Natsumi Mitsuo, and since the other party said "Susanoo" earlier, he will definitely say "Susanoo" next.

It should be understood that the name of each deity is passed down orally from generation to generation by family heads within a power where a deity is in slumber.

In other words, according to common sense.

Within the entire Summer Zaibatsu, he should be the only one who knows that the deity of the Summer Zaibatsu is named Susanoo.

Because once the name of a deity is known, it means that the deity's message will be exposed.

Among the ancient texts of many ancient powers, there are records of some deities. The revelation of the names of these deities also means the revelation of most of their abilities.

Therefore, those with superpowers may use some means of restraint to weaken the power of the gods, thereby leading to acts of god-killing.

Historically, such things have happened before.

By learning about the divine abilities of other forces, and discovering that these forces also possessed gods, they used the power of divine artifacts, along with a large number of superhumans who could counter those gods, to kill them.

Of course, those killed were all weak gods.

Even for gods of intermediate or higher level, the chances of killing them would be extremely slim, even if several A-level ability users each wielded divine weapons.

Of course, it doesn't matter to the gods themselves whether others know their names.

However, this is naturally not allowed for summer willow branches.

He quickly put forward two hypotheses.

"You guessed it by secretly reading the ancient books in the ancestral hall..."

Before she could finish speaking, Xia Yuanliu dismissed the hypothesis, because ancient books could not possibly record the deities of one's ancestral home, as these were names passed down orally.

If this is the assumption, the solution is very simple.

Killing Natsumi Rin could have stopped the leak, but unfortunately, that wasn't the case.

The second hypothesis, however, is quite tricky.

he muttered.

"I never expected that Xia Huoshan had such a thorough understanding of Xia Rizong's residence that he even revealed Susanoo's name."

Destroying Xiahuoshan is inevitable.

but……

Based on my current speculation, the Kujo Zaibatsu is becoming somewhat unreliable.

As for whether it is credible or not, some investigation is needed to draw a conclusion, and it needs to be discussed with Kujo Shinobu again.

If Kujou Shinobu really uses the cooperation to weaken the Natsumi Zaibatsu, then the cooperation will definitely break down instantly, or at least be maintained.

However, each person has their own agenda, making genuine cooperation impossible.

Therefore, to eliminate Xiahuo Mountain, it is necessary to find other powerful forces.

However, most of the forces were not persecuted by Xia Huoshan and did not share the same interests. Unless they offered a massive amount of extraordinary resources to request assistance, they could not cooperate.

but……

There is another force that will definitely take charge of forces like Xiahuo Mountain, since Xiahuo Mountain has only revealed the tip of the iceberg so far.

The Lord of Xiahuo Mountain and Xia Rilinli together make up two A-ranks. The Lord of Xiahuo Mountain is even more of a peak A-rank, the kind that you can't kill or take down without two or three A-ranks.

And this is just the tip of the iceberg. If there is a third A-rank hidden in Xiahuo Mountain, plus countless other members.

This force is now a serious threat to the royal family's current rule, which is currently at three A-level!

That's right!

Xia Yuanliu's desired partner is the royal family.

Although the royal family's control over various forces is much weaker now than it was a hundred years ago, the royal family is still the royal family and the nominal ruler.

If there is any hidden threat to the emergence of royal power, the royal family will definitely be uneasy.

Perhaps, after some time, I can go to Takamagahara and seek help from the royal family.

Not to mention, the current royal representative is just a young girl. Although she has received excellent imperial education, her experience is still limited.

With his decades of experience and shrewdness, securing a cooperative relationship would probably be even easier for him than for Kujou Shinobu; he could easily manipulate him.

In just a moment, Xia Yuanliu's thoughts went far ahead.

Therefore, there is indeed no need for Natsumi Rinrei to stay.

Xia Yuanliu's eyes flashed with even more murderous intent; he decided to cripple her limbs first.

Although he possesses another strange superpower, which allows him to heal injuries and even reattach severed limbs, no matter what kind of healing ability he has, there will always be a time when he runs out of strength.

Moreover, his killing intent could also be used to effectively suppress those severed limbs.

Just cut it until Summer Rinre can't be restored.

Having finalized her plan, Xia Yuanliu no longer hesitated.

His gaze was fixed on Xia Rilinli, and he stomped his toes on the ground. In an instant, the ground cracked and split open, revealing a huge crater.

"Bang—!!"

A loud bang suddenly rang out.

Xia Riliu's figure vanished instantly, and Xia Rilin couldn't even detect a trace of his afterimage.

This is due to the significant difference in strength.

Summer Rinrei's eyesight could no longer keep up with Summer Sunny Willow's speed.

Therefore, Natsumi Rinrei simply gave up using her eyes to perceive the other party. The Red Dragon's sense of touch was also quite keen. When the enemy approached her from a certain distance in a certain direction.

She can also react quickly.

Summer Rinri closed his eyes, sensing everything.

The crimson dragon scales gleamed with a faint reddish light, their color shimmering in the darkness.

The next moment, a whistling wind sounded to the right of Xia Rilinli, and the sensation on the dragon scales was also warning her. She suddenly opened her beautiful eyes.

He quickly swung his left fist at it, and Azure Heron Flame surged within it. Even though Xia Riliu was so fast, as long as it was touched by Azure Heron Flame...

Freezing your opponent's movements will slightly increase your chances of winning!

However, when Natsumi Rinrei swung his left fist, he missed, leaving his right side empty.

At the same time, a strong warning came from her back, but the speed was extremely fast. She wanted to defend, but the moment the thought arose, she was caught off guard.

The heavy blow is coming.

"boom------!!!"

Xia Riliu's right fist, transformed into an iron fist, struck Xia Rilinli's head hard.

"Bang————!"

Then, his head collided with the ground a second time and was crushed.

"Buzz—!"

Suddenly, Xia Rilin felt a ringing in his ears and his vision went black, as if he were seeing multiple images.

Immediately afterwards, a chilling glint of light flashed in the darkness.

The next moment, Natsumi Rinri lost all feeling in her left arm.

"One limb".

An aged voice sounded behind her.

When she came to her senses, she quickly raised her right fist, which was burning with crimson flames, and swung it hard behind her, but she missed again.
