Black Myth: The Legend of Tianpeng Seeking Demons

In the dimly lit room, the figure of the phantom fox slowly emerged, his eyes icy cold. He slowly exhaled, suppressing his anger.

"Damn it, they got away again!" Huanhu's voice was deep but full of malice. "Yukishiro Chihiro... Zhu Feifei... you keep ruining my plans. Do you really think I can't do anything to you?"

"Sir, what should we do now?" a man in a black suit asked cautiously.

"Hmph! The 'sealed box' is destroyed; we have no time to waste." Phantom Fox's gaze turned icy. "Pass down the order: everyone move out immediately! We must find 'that thing' before 'Moon Shadow' completes the ritual!"

"Yes!" the man in black replied immediately, then turned and left.

Huanhu slowly walked to the window, gazing at the night sky, a cold smile appearing on his lips: "Yukishiro Chihiro... Zhu Feifei... you can't escape my grasp. The game has only just begun."

Moonlight filtered through the dense forest, casting dappled shadows. Zhu Feifei plopped down on the ground, rubbing her legs and complaining of exhaustion.

"Oh my god! I'm exhausted... Is this phantom fox a marathon runner? It runs faster than a rabbit!"

Chihiro Yukishiro leaned against a tree, panting, and said softly, "We should... have shaken him off by now."

Zhu Feifei looked up and around, and found the surrounding environment eerie, sending chills down her spine: "Qianxun, what kind of place is this? It's so gloomy, I feel like I could touch a ghost's hair if I just reached out my hand."

Chihiro Yukishiro frowned. "It should be... a dense forest on the outskirts of Tokyo. The trees here are dense, making it a good place to hide."

Zhu Feifei collapsed to the ground, looking utterly dejected: "Fine, I've managed to hide... but I wish I could hide at a barbecue stall and eat some skewers..."

Chihiro Yukishiro glanced at him, a smile unconsciously creeping onto her lips: "You still have the mood to joke around."

"A smile can make you live longer, right?" Zhu Feifei pouted. "But seriously, what do we do next? Hiding like this isn't a solution."

"Let's rest for a bit, and then... we need to find Qinglan and the others to meet up." Yukishiro Chihiro leaned against a tree, closed her eyes, and pondered the next plan.

"Hey, wait a minute!" Zhu Feifei suddenly remembered something. "Didn't you say you were going to the 'Yukishiro family' to get something important? What was it?"

Chihiro Yukishiro was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "That is the 'Yukishiro family's' heirloom, the 'Yata no Kagami'."

"The Yata Mirror?" Zhu Feifei's eyes widened. "You mean... one of the legendary Three Sacred Treasures? That's a treasure among treasures!"

Chihiro Yukishiro nodded: "The Yata Mirror possesses powerful purifying abilities. Perhaps... it is the only hope against the 'Moon Shadow' project."

"Then what are we waiting for! Let's go get it!" Zhu Feifei jumped up from the ground, her face full of excitement.

“It’s not that simple…” Chihiro Yukishiro shook her head helplessly. “The ‘Yata Mirror’ is sealed in the forbidden area of ​​the Yukishiro family. Only those with pure Yukishiro blood can break the seal. And I… don’t know how to do it yet.”

"A seal? Another seal!" Zhu Feifei scratched his head. "Is your family a locksmith? Why do you keep using this sealing thing?!"

Just as Chihiro Yukishiro was about to retort, her expression suddenly changed, she clutched her chest, and spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Chihiro!" Zhu Feifei exclaimed, her face turning pale with shock. She quickly supported her. "What's wrong?"

"I'm fine...it's just an old injury flaring up again." Chihiro Yukishiro forced a smile, but there was still blood at the corner of her mouth.

"Old injury? It's all my fault. If I hadn't dragged you down—" Zhu Feifei said with a look of self-reproach.

"Don't blame yourself..." Yukishiro Chihiro said weakly, "It's not your fault."

Zhu Feifei gritted her teeth and slowly channeled her spiritual energy into Yukishiro Chihiro's body. The warm spiritual energy surged, relieving her pain.

"Feifei, thank you..." Yukishiro Chihiro said softly.

"No need to thank me, we're partners." Zhu Feifei grinned. "But you need to recover quickly, I don't want to be your driver forever."

“Idiot…” Chihiro Yukishiro shook her head helplessly, but a hint of tenderness appeared in her eyes.

Inside the Tokyo shrine, Qinglan coldly observed the report from the members of the Exorcism Division.

"Useless!" Qinglan slammed her hand on the table. "With so many people, you couldn't even find a single 'Moon Shadow'!"

"Please calm down, my lord..." The members of the Demon Extermination Bureau lowered their heads. "Lord Moonshadow may have used a secret technique to conceal his whereabouts. We are conducting a full-scale search."

"Hmph! He may escape the monk, but he can't escape the temple." Qinglan sneered. "Send the order to seal off the entire Tokyo! We must find him!"

"Yes!" The members of the Demon Control Division quickly left.

Qianying stood to the side and asked softly, "Senior brother, what do we do now?"

“Moonshadow’s plan has already begun. He will definitely go to the place with the strongest spiritual energy to complete the ritual.” Qinglan’s gaze was cold. “There is only one place there—Tokyo Tower!”

Chisakura's eyes widened in surprise: "Tokyo Tower?! We have to get there right away!"

“That’s right.” Qinglan nodded. “Time waits for no one, let’s go!”

Deep in the dense forest, Zhu Feifei supported Yukishiro Chihiro, their steps faltering.

"Feifei, put me down, I can walk by myself," Yukishiro Chihiro said softly.

"No way! You'll fall down after just ten steps like this." Zhu Feifei snorted. "I'm very strong, I don't need that much stamina!"

"Strong?" Yukishiro Chihiro looked at his thin figure and couldn't help but chuckle. "Are you sure?"

"That's slander against me!" Zhu Feifei said indignantly. "You even praised me for being a good fighter when we were fighting before!"

Chihiro Yukishiro shook her head, a smile playing on her lips: "Alright, then I'll trouble 'Strong Hero Zhu' to take care of it."

As the two were chatting and laughing, Zhu Feifei suddenly stopped and her expression changed.

"What's wrong?" Chihiro Yukishiro asked.

"Shh! Don't speak!" Zhu Feifei whispered, "Something's coming!"

The forest was completely silent, save for the eerie sound of the wind rustling the leaves.

Suddenly, a deep roar came from afar, followed by the sound of leaves being quickly parted, as if some enormous creature was approaching them.

“It’s…a demon beast!” Chihiro Yukishiro’s face darkened.

"We haven't even caught our breath yet, and there's trouble again!" Zhu Feifei said with a wry smile. "Alright, I'll take over. Don't do anything rash!"

Before the words were finished, a huge wolf demon leaped out of the forest, its scarlet eyes fixed on the two of them, and thick saliva dripping from its mouth.

"What a big dog!" Zhu Feifei chuckled dryly. "Qianxun, do you think it would let us go if I fed it barbecue?"

"Focus!" Chihiro Yukishiro frowned.

"Alright!" Zhu Feifei raised his hand, gathering spiritual power, and stood in front of Yukishiro Chihiro. "Come on, you little dog, let's see how I, the great hero Zhu, make you cry your way home today!"
