I swept the Phoenix with the Onmyoji Shikigami

Qingji's clear and pleasant voice was like a ray of sunshine in the morning light, instantly tearing apart the dark predicament before Xinghan's eyes.

Although the sound was transmitted through the puppet named Kurogiri Kiyohime, to Xinghan's ears it sounded like the sound of nature.

Full of hope and expectation, because that was the good news he had been waiting for for a long time.

"Finally! The first achievement!"

Xinghan responded excitedly, his voice echoing in the silent darkness with undisguised excitement.

"Finding the entrance to the cave means we are one step closer to Shen Li!"

"Congratulations, sir." Qingji's voice was still filled with joy, but Xinghan could hear the hesitation in her words.

Could it be that he wanted to rescue people quickly, but hesitated because there was no order from him?

If you want to become Xinghan's powerful Shikigami, you should understand his needs and wishes, and not just follow his orders and do one thing for everything.

The situations are constantly changing, so the Shikigami and Onmyoji should be in perfect sync with each other. After all, the Shikigami is outside and needs to respond flexibly to Onmyoji's instructions.

However, the existence of the contract is a powerful constraint that prevents the shikigami from easily taking other actions.

A warm feeling surged in Xinghan's heart. He was only one step away from rescuing Shen Li. Qingji was so helpful. She was really a good helper for the newbie (big brother).

"Very good, let's rescue her!" When Xinghan heard the good news, he was eager to get Shen Li out of the cage as soon as possible.

"I'm afraid that's not possible, sir," Kiyohime replied, "If that's your order, Kiyohime will do it."

Oh? Can't do it?! Qingji's voice just now sounded full of confidence, why can't she do it?

Xinghan's curiosity was aroused, so he asked, "Why not? Have you found the entrance to the cave?"

"Found it, but it's the entrance to the cave..." Qingji only then revealed obvious doubts.

"Qingji, what does the entrance of the cave look like that makes you so embarrassed?" Xinghan quickly sent a message to Qingji, his voice revealing a sense of urgency and curiosity.

The little figure of Kurogiri Kiyohime trembled slightly, and her flower-like eyes sparkled. That was Kiyohime's voice:

"My lord, that cave entrance... I can't describe it in words. You must come and see it for yourself."

Oh?

Go in person?

Why is this?

Could it be that he needs his star weapon? !

After hearing Qingji's answer, Xinghan's curiosity grew even more.

Qingji must have had good reasons for doing this, and there must be some mystery hidden at the entrance of the cave. Perhaps it is because he is the only one who can understand this mystery.

The cave entrance is the key to the road to saving Shen Li. No matter how difficult and dangerous it is, Xinghan must give it a try while saving his life.

Thinking of this, Xinghan planned to get out as quickly as possible, but facing the current predicament, he knew that he should not take it lightly.

You can't lose the whole game because of one careless move.

However, the ground beneath his feet began to feel strange, as if an invisible force was blocking his progress.

Xinghan frowned, he had to make a decision quickly.

"Sir, Kiyohime has completed her mission. Should Kiyohime return?"

Qingji's voice came from a distance, with a hint of inquiry and expectation in her voice.

Xinghan took a deep breath, he already had the answer in his mind.

He smiled and replied, "No need. You stay at the entrance of the cave and make sure to guard it well and don't let anyone in or out. If there is anything unusual, send a message to me immediately."

"Yes, sir!" Qingji's voice trembled slightly with excitement.

"Qingji." Xinghan could hear how expectant and excited Qingji's voice was. It must be because he entrusted her with an important task and trusted her. But Shikigami might all be so stubborn. Xinghan had to give her a reminder, so he continued, "By the way, Diegui, if...you encounter danger, don't give up your life. It's better to save your life."

Qing Ji's voice came after a while, and the voice was faint and a little puzzled, "Sir, do you mean that Qing Ji does not have to die to complete the mission?"

"Yes!" Xinghan sighed and replied.

"My lord, you are so strange." Qing Ji continued to say puzzledly, "Qing Ji obeys your command, my lord."

"Go." Xinghan thought that Shen Li was finally safe, and a determined light flashed in his eyes. He tried his best to steady his body and tried to leave quickly.

Shouting from a distance might be useless, so Xinghan planned to wait until he got away before taking care of the jumping mountain rabbit below, hoping that the little one would not be crushed by the giant beast.

The huge body of the beast might have been a silent stone statue, motionless for thousands of years.

When the initial tremor came, its movements seemed slow and clumsy. Xinghan guessed that it might have just moved its arms and legs.

It was as if he was a giant gradually awakening from a long slumber, and every movement was accompanied by the tremor of the earth.

However, as time went on, the beast's movements became more agile and powerful.

Its limbs began to swing rhythmically, and its stomping on the ground shook like thunder, flattening the surrounding mountains.

Feeling the deafening vibration, Xinghan's heart was filled with endless doubt and anxiety.

He didn't know where he was at the moment, but the ups and downs of the skin under his feet made him feel like he was on the top of a huge wave, shaky and precarious.

He grasped the beast's fur tightly, trying to stabilize himself.

The monster's eyes gradually lit up, and the deep light was like the stars in the night sky, exuding a frightening yet irresistible charm, and the dim sky began to shine like daylight.

This action also attracted the attention of travelers from dozens of miles around, and even people living in the village saw it.

I guess Xing Yunye has noticed something...

As its movements gradually accelerated, the atmosphere around it became increasingly tense, as if foreshadowing that an earth-shaking change was about to take place.

But even in the midst of turmoil, Xinghan's thoughts were as clear as a drawn road map, and his mind was calm and steady.

"Everything is ready now, we just need to hurry over there." Xinghan thought.

Xinghan tried his best to steady his shaking body, thinking that as long as Qingji was guarding the entrance of the cave, there would be hope of victory.

There shouldn't be any problem in rescuing Shen Li. After all, Qing Ji is a very powerful control shikigami and should not be underestimated.

What's more, Shen Li is a phoenix. She should have a certain ability to fight against such an unfavorable situation. She would not become a phoenix that is captured without any help and a lamb to be slaughtered.

While comforting himself, Xinghan assessed the situation.

At this moment, Xinghan seemed to be in a shocking painting, and everything around him was shrouded in the power of the awakening giant beast.

The body of the giant beast began to tremble violently, like an ancient divine creature that had broken free from its shackles in the deep sleeping abyss.

The mountain rabbit stood not far away, with surprise and curiosity in its eyes, looking towards the starry sky...
