Bai Lin scratched his head and said, "I can't lie to you. I don't have that ability right now, but if you become my shikigami, I think I'll find a convenient way for you in the future..."

The snow woman closed her eyes, appearing delicate and pitiful, and said with a slight upturn of her lips, "You're an honest person... Well then..."

As the Snow Woman agreed, her whole body emitted a faint blue light, and in the blink of an eye, her body turned into a snowflake and dissipated in the air. Bai Lin suddenly felt a chill on his wrist, and when he rolled up his sleeve, he saw a snowflake-shaped mark on his wrist.

Seimei smiled and said, "Ha, Bai Dayun, you succeeded!"

The great battle finally ended. The wooden house had been completely destroyed in the second round of magic attacks by the Snow Woman. Bai Lin had Xue Feng carry Qingming and two wounded people, and the few remaining people staggered down the mountain. The samurai and mages who died on the mountain could only wait until dawn for the villagers at the foot of the mountain to come and collect their remains.

Bai Lin, supporting Qingming on Xuefeng's back, asked, "Is there anything strange about this magatama?"

Seimei didn't mince words, saying, "This is the Yasakani no Magatama, one of the three sacred treasures protecting the nation. It should be hidden deep within the palace. I don't know why it appeared on Mount Taisetsu. Someone must have stolen it. Once Yuki-onna recovers, we can find out the truth by asking her." Generally speaking, after a shikigami that is on the verge of death is subdued, it takes several days to recover. In this respect, Seimei's shikigami technique is similar to Hakurin's summoning encyclopedia.

Bai Lin said, "What I mean is, what kind of national protective artifact can make monsters go berserk and attack humans?"

Seimei looked at the magatama that was floating above his left hand and said, "How is that possible? The magatama is a token bestowed upon the royal family by Amaterasu. It possesses many magical powers, but it has no function of enhancing the power of yokai or controlling yokai. Someone has taken advantage of the magatama's ability to store magical power and infused it with extremely strong demonic energy."

Bai Lin asked curiously, "Does this demonic aura also come in ordinary and intense forms?"

Seimei said thoughtfully, "If the demonic energy is directly drawn from the Gates of the Underworld, it would be this concentrated..."

Bai Lin pointed to Qingming's palm and said, "Such a precious thing, is it really that easy to steal?"

Seimei said irritably, "How could that be? The three sacred treasures are hidden in the Ise Grand Shrine (some say Atsuta Shrine, but we're just using the name here). They are protected by countless magical restrictions and skilled swordsmen. Stealing the sacred treasures is more difficult than assassination."

Bai Lin shrugged, offering no comment, and muttered, "Perhaps it's hard to guard against a thief within your own ranks, no matter how much you guard against them..."

The journey was silent. Of the nearly two hundred people who had come up the mountain from the Yin-Yang Bureau, only a dozen or so remained, creating a truly oppressive atmosphere. Fortunately, they soon encountered Ali, who was still climbing the rocks. The reunion of master and servant somewhat eased their sorrow.

As the saying goes, going up the mountain is easy but coming down is hard. The road at night was quite difficult to walk. Qingming did not have the magic to summon the spider lily again. He could only use some minor spells to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain of the injured. After walking for four or five hours, the group finally arrived at a village at the foot of the mountain.

However, the small village under the cover of night was lifeless, without a trace of human presence. The surviving warrior knocked on several doors, but there was no response. Just as he reached the center of the village, Bai Lin's nose twitched, and he smelled a very strong stench of blood.

The snow wind growled uneasily. Wolves have a sense of smell, hearing, and even a sixth sense that far surpasses that of humans, so they naturally sensed the unusual atmosphere.

The plot is heating up: Update! Come and check it out!

"Ah!" The scout ahead cried out in alarm. Bai Lin stepped forward and was both shocked and furious. In a small courtyard, a pile of corpses, three meters high, lay haphazardly, emitting a strong stench, as if they had just been murdered not long ago. The village only had a couple hundred people; this was likely a massacre.

"The culprit is still nearby!" Seimei seemed to be completely enraged by the bloody and cruel scene, his eyes looking completely different from when he was fighting the Yuki-onna.

"Protect Seimei and the wounded!" Bai Lin said to the few remaining samurai and mages around him. Without needing to be told, A Li and Yu Feng had already positioned themselves to protect Seimei, ready for battle.

For the first time, Seimei regretted entering the Great Snow Mountain without careful consideration. He had just seen the dead villagers, all of whom had been sliced ​​open by extremely sharp blades. Many of the dead looked shocked, as if they had never expected to be cut into pieces so suddenly.

"It's a demon sword!" Bai Lin said, "The demon sword Tian Guo Mo that killed many young masters of noble families in Kyoto!" As he spoke, he waved his hand, and disordered elemental energy formed a Tang-style armor, with the jade-handled dragon also in his hand.

Seimei glanced at Bai Lin and whispered, "They're after me! This is a multi-pronged scheme!" The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this trip to the Great Snow Mountain was not simple. The Yuki-onna who obtained the Magatama was only there to inflict heavy losses on the Onmyōryō magisters, while the killing move targeting Seimei was still lying in ambush on their way back to the capital.

The crowd gritted their teeth in hatred and formed a battle formation. Just then, a woman's voice came from the direction of the village center, clear and low: "It seems there are still quite a few people left..."

Everyone looked in that direction, and two figures emerged from the darkness.

These are two extremely beautiful women: one is dressed in gorgeous Wu clothing, but her snow-white thighs are exposed. She walks barefoot on the dirt road, her proud figure is faintly visible, and her long, straight black hair is the dream type of every otaku. She is holding a huge katana, at least 1.4 meters long. The black wooden scabbard is inlaid with gorgeous gold ornaments and tied with golden silk. It is obvious that it is the demon sword Tian Guo Mo.

Mu Yuan's system notification: Elite demon Yao Dao Ji Tian Guo Mo has been detected, LV: 9

The other woman was very tall and equally stunningly beautiful. She wore tight-fitting black armor, an exaggerated and ornate helmet like those worn by neon generals, and held a silver spear.

Bai Lin looked closely and recognized her. It was Yasha Hime Takiya, whom he had fought in Mount Ooe. It turned out that she had been wearing a terrifying demon mask that day. Now that she was standing on the ground, Bai Lin realized that she was over 1.8 meters tall, practically a female giant in Japan of this era.

Seimei whispered, "Bai Da Yun, you're in charge of Yasha-hime... They're not magic-type demons..."

After saying that, Seimei bit one of his fingers, and blood immediately gushed from the wound. Seimei drew a talisman in front of him, and the blood miraculously floated in front of him as if it were drawn on an invisible piece of paper. Bai Lin knew that Seimei was about to use his final move, which would probably require him to pay a considerable price to summon a powerful shikigami.

However, after the talisman disappeared, a white-clad youth appeared out of thin air. Seimei had a full head of white hair and a large, snow-white tail behind him, revealing the true form of Hakuzosu.

Bai Lin and Qingming acted in perfect unison, flying towards each other from the left and right. In the face of a monster of this level, the samurai and mages behind them could not help much and would only hinder their actions. It would be better to take the initiative and widen the battle line. However, A Li and Yu Feng followed Qingming without fear.
