If Youyouzi is needed to seal the Saixing Yao, then when the undead Youyouzi launched the Spring Snow Incident, she wanted to free someone who was dormant under the Saixing Yao. Then, wasn't that someone herself? So, it seems my actions were also within Yakumo Yukari's expectations... Reimu couldn't help but curl her lips. It felt really unpleasant to be schemed against.

If Yuyuko is resurrected, the fact that she exists here will create a paradox with her resurrection, and the next result will be a causal contradiction, leading to her death.

There is no way that Yakumo Yukari would let see something like Yuyuko's death.

So there is no doubt that the situation at that time made it impossible for Yakumo Yukari to stop it... This can also be considered as the pain in Yakumo Yukari's heart. No, she has been silently watching the development of Gensokyo and has unknowingly lost many friends. Such a Yukari must have been suffering in her heart... Yukari...

Reimu frowned slightly, but didn't say anything. Everyone was like this, not just her.

"I say, aren't you being too naive? We obviously didn't come in through formal means, yet you're asking who we are instead of worrying about your own safety... Don't you have a sense of crisis?"

Koizumi couldn't help but reveal a speechless look, muttering slowly.

Koizumi wasn't wrong, this guy truly had no sense of crisis at all. Could it be because of his own strength?

Saigyouji Youyouko shook her head slightly, and a hint of sadness appeared on her face.

"It's not that I don't worry about my own safety, but because so far, everyone who has come close to me or the Westward Journey Demon has died, whether they are human or monster... So, compared to my own safety, I should actually be more worried about the safety of those who come close to me..."

Having said that, Saigyouji Yuyuko cast her gaze towards Koizumi and the other person in front of her, a glimmer of hope in her eyes.

That hint of hope seemed as if the person was already in deep despair and didn't want to resist, and could only pray that others would not do anything useless.

"I hope you won't get close to me... or the Westward Journey Demon..."

Upon hearing this, Koizumi and Reimu looked at each other, each noticing the solemnity in the other's eyes.

It was indeed solemn, because after Saigyouji Yuyuko said this, Reimu and Koizumi both sensed the aura emanating from Yuyuko, which was somewhat similar to the aura of death outside, but if they looked closely, they could still feel a slight difference.

Moreover, as if hoping that Koizumi and Reimu would not get close, undead spirits began to appear on both sides of Yuyuko. It was perfectly fine to call them vengeful spirits. They roared as if to stop Koizumi and Reimu.

The deathly aura began to spread all around. Reimu frowned slightly, and talismans flew all around.

A dazzling light emanated from the talisman, and the deathly aura began to slowly dissipate. Seeing this, Reimu couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

To be honest, when she first came here, Reimu was still a little unsure, but now it seems that her strength is useful. Thanks to this spiritual base, she can maintain her strength in Gensokyo anytime and anywhere. You know, in this state, Reimu can fight with Yakumo Yukari.

But... my own strength can't suppress this death energy for long.

"Master, be careful. The power in her body is very strong. My talisman can't suppress it for long. If I want to seal her forcibly, then I can only try the power of the dream seal... But..."

At this point, Reimu's tone became helpless, and Koizumi understood what Reimu meant.

This era originally required Saigyouji Yuyuko to seal the Saigyou demon at the cost of her own life. If Reimu used the Dream Seal to help Saigyouji Yuyuko seal this ability, it would actually be that she and others were interfering with history, which would only make this era more distorted...

"I know... All we have to do is get rid of these undead! It's just a matter of killing them all!"

As he said this, the vampire's power began to unleash, and Koizumi grasped the energy form Gungnir.

The next moment, the scarlet aurora instantly annihilated all the vengeful spirits in front of Gu Quan, and the corners of Gu Quan's mouth rose slightly.

"Nothing more than that... a mere vengeful spirit..."

"Master, be careful! It's not over yet!" As if sensing something, Reimu hurriedly shouted to Koizumi.

As Reimu finished speaking, Koizumi also felt a sense of foreboding. What was going on?

The scarlet aurora cut through the space, forming one refracted light after another around it, killing all the evil spirits around.

However, even though the vengeful spirits had disappeared, the aura of death still surrounded them.

The next moment, a pile of white bones appeared under Gu Quan's feet, swallowing him up in an instant.

The death energy began to rise wildly, and countless death energy rushed towards the ancient spring like a tide!

"Master!!!!" Reimu was suddenly startled, and colorful rainbow light burst out from her body, as if she was ready to rescue Koizumi.

Seeing Koizumi being swallowed by the white bones, hot tears flowed from the corners of Yuyuko Saigyouji's eyes, and her heart felt like being stabbed by a needle. Although the person had nothing to do with her, Yuyuko Saigyouji felt pain and guilt for the other person's death because of her. This woman was such an innocent, gentle and pure existence.

At this moment, something strange began to happen in the center of the place surrounded by bones...

Chapter 341: Koizumi's Breakthrough! The Opportunity Brought by the Power of Death!

The huge death energy enveloped Gu Quan and began to entangle Gu Quan's body, constantly corrupting his flesh and blood.

But gradually, the death energy began to merge into Gu Quan's body, as if there was a bottomless pit inside Gu Quan's body.

Endless death energy merged into Guquan's body. The pressure of this force was so great that Guquan couldn't help but tremble all over.

The pair of scarlet eyes flickered with a faint light, and two figures flashed before Gu Quan's eyes. They were like master and servant.

The half-human, half-spirit, holding two swords, bowed towards Gu Quan with a look of deep apology in his eyes.

The ghost with the same face as Yuyuko in front of him, holding a folding fan in his hand, looked at Koizumi in front of him with a pair of eyes with a hint of deep meaning. For some reason, Koizumi always felt that there was something wrong with the way the other party looked at him.

It seems like... he found a new toy... It's really weird...

I always have a bad feeling... Forget it, it's better not to think too much. I just need to know that these two people are the ones whose power I will inherit... Does that mean I will inherit the power of these two people?

Who was Yuyuko Saigyouji with... I don't know this person, but I can guess that it should be the one called Konpaku Youmu.

Koizumi learned that Konpaku Youki is Konpaku Youmu's grandfather from Reimu.

It can be seen that this girl is much younger than the old court teacher, so she should be his granddaughter.

Suddenly, the pain brought by the power of death slowly disappeared, and gradually, this power became a part of his own power. After all, Youyouzi's power was to control the power of death and thus lure others to death.

And Koizumi also inherited... No, it should be said that after awakening, Koizumi also possessed the corresponding power of death.

Although this power is still not as strong as the one before him, at least Koizumi is now unable to be affected by Yuyuko's death-inducing power. Didn't he see that Yuyuko's uncontrolled death power was completely absorbed by Koizumi?

At this moment, Reimu looked at Koizumi anxiously, the colorful rainbow light on his body never fading.

She wanted to seal the death energy around Koizumi's body, but she was worried that her attack would hurt her Master, which would be very bad. After all, her attack was quite powerful. Her Master was completely defenseless, and just one blow would be enough to seriously injure her Master.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry... I'm really sorry..."

Hot tears streamed down her cheeks, and Saigyouji Yuyuko felt deeply pained at having hurt Koizumi.

Youyouzi covered her cheeks with her hands, squatted on the ground, and cried, but she was powerless to do anything.

She wanted to stop these undead, but she couldn't stop their attack no matter what.

Due to its symbiotic relationship with the Westward Journey Demon, the Undead will attack on its own as long as it gets close to Youyouzi.

So these undead spirits are actually not under the control of Yuyuko Saigyouji at all. It would be great if they could be perfectly controlled.

At this moment, as if sensing something, Reimu's pupils suddenly shrank and she quickly retreated backwards.

The next moment, a cold light flashed, as if only this ray of light remained between heaven and earth. The white bones enveloping the ancient spring were instantly severed in two, never to be seen again...

"Master!" Reimu was suddenly surprised and hurried to greet him.

Gu Quan silently put away the Louguan Sword and breathed a sigh of relief. He was almost trapped by these guys.

"The Louguan Sword, with the power to kill ten ghosts with a single swing, truly lives up to its reputation. It seems this sword originally belonged to Zi... I never thought Zi would give it to someone in the Konpaku family, and then pass it down to Konpaku Youmu..."

As he said this, Gu Quan glanced at the Louguan Sword at his waist, and then glanced at the Bailou Sword.

The Louguan Sword can slay ten ghosts with a single strike, while the Bailou Sword is a family heirloom of the Konpaku family. It can also sever the target's confusion. Using it on a ghost will lead to enlightenment, but using it on a human will cause severe pain. Only members of the Konpaku family can wield this sword, but Koizumi is an exception, having inherited Youmu's abilities, strength, and armaments...

This kind of inheritance is very overbearing, and it can be used even with restrictions...

"Are you... okay?" Youyouzi asked slowly, looking at Koizumi in disbelief.

At this moment, she hadn't realized that the Bailou Sword in Guquan's hand was the heirloom sword of the Hunpo family, owned by Hunpo Yaoji...

"Phew~ Don't overthink it... I almost couldn't make it back. Luckily, I awakened the necessary power at this time... But I must admit, your power of death helped me a lot. Without it, it would probably take a long time for this power to awaken..."

This awakening of power made Koizumi more convinced of the true nature of his own power. It was not only the summoned objects that could be inherited. For example, Yuyuko Saigyouji and Youmu Konpaku were not summoned by him, but he could still inherit their power. This shows that summoning an object is just an opportunity for awakening.

This time, the power of death devoured me, replacing the opportunity of summoning...

It seems that this trip to Shengji Temple was really worthwhile... At least my strength has increased...

Silently, Gu Quan put away the Bailou Sword and Louguan Sword. It would be disastrous if the Hunpo Yaoji saw them.

It is best to try not to let Hunpo Yaoji see that two Bailou swords have appeared.

After all, doing so would bring him unnecessary trouble, so Gu Quan didn't intend to let Hunpo Yaoji notice.

"Are you okay, Master?" Reimu looked at Koizumi with concern. She had followed Koizumi here, and if anything happened to Koizumi, she would have a hard time explaining it to Kiyohime Marisa.

Especially Kiyohime... After all, everyone knows the relationship between Kiyohime and Koizumi.

"Are you...really not dead?" Looking at Koizumi in front of her, Saigyouji Yuyuko asked cautiously.

The other party seemed very hesitant, with a very obvious cowardice on his face. It was obvious that he was worried that he would kill Koizumi.

Koizumi rolled his eyes, a look of bewilderment on his face. "Do you really expect me to die?"

Upon hearing this, Saigyouji Youyouzi quickly shook her head with a hint of panic on her face.

"No... no, after all, everyone I've come into contact with has been affected by the death energy in me. Either they were led to death by the death energy, or they were entangled by the undead and ended up dying themselves..."

As she spoke, a look of deep pain emerged on Youyouzi's face. She clutched the corner of her clothes with her little hands and kept her head down. But then, as if she thought of something, she slowly raised her head, a touching and dazzling smile appearing on her face.

"Now finally someone won't die because of my power. I'm really happy!"

Chapter 342 Friends

"By the way, you are Saigyouji Yuyuko? The Princess of Death of the Saigyouji family?"

Reimu's face was filled with surprise, as if she couldn't accept that such a gentle girl was the one she remembered. That's true; even Marisa would probably find it hard to accept this fact...

Both she and Marisa had come into contact with that undead guy before. The fact that he was lazy and gluttonous was completely inconsistent with the one in front of them. So when Reimu saw this scene, a look of speechlessness appeared on her face.

What should I do? I can't seem to face that undead spirit anymore! Urgent! Can someone help me solve this problem?

Reimu couldn't help but roll her eyes, realizing that her impression of the gluttonous undead had been completely overturned.

"That's right... are you... looking for me?" As she said this, a hint of doubt flashed in Youyouzi's eyes.

Even though she was asking questions, Yuyuko's gaze was always focused on Koizumi.

Apparently, Youyouko has now encountered someone who won't die if she touches him... Wait! This feels so familiar!

Wait a minute! If I remember correctly, Jingmi seems to have used the same tactic... Koizumi's mouth twitched fiercely. It was such a familiar tactic that he didn't know what to say. By the way, this guy wasn't asking for a bed warmer again...

Wait! I feel like I've accidentally fallen into some misunderstanding... Uh... I'd better not overthink it.

Saigyouji Yuyuko was not such a person. Even when she was alive, her personality could not have been so exaggerated.

Koizumi and Reimu exchanged glances, but the next moment Reimu slapped Koizumi on the forehead.

Koizumi rolled his eyes. "Well, everything I was thinking was seen through by this girl in front of me..."

Reimu rolled her eyes. How could she not see what Koizumi was thinking? Even if this Princess of Death had a very different personality from her afterlife, it was impossible for her to be so shameless as to warm someone else's bed.

The other party is different from Jingmi. Jingmi is poisoned and she keeps constructing virtual feelings specifically for the purpose of killing people, so some aspects of her heart have been completely broken. This Princess of Death has been living in Shengji Temple, and her mind is still very normal. Even if she lacks common sense in some aspects, it is impossible for her to lack it to the point of falling into someone else's bed!

"That's right, we came to find you. After all, the Princess of Death and the Demon Sakura of Moriji Temple are very famous, so naturally we wanted to come and see them. Besides, I'm also a shrine maiden, so maybe I can help seal the Demon Sakura..." As she said this, Reimu smiled.

As she said this, Reimu turned her gaze towards the Sailing Demon, with a gleam of light in her eyes.

Even though I didn't get close to the Westward Journey Demon, I could feel the force of death just by standing here and watching...

Even Reimu couldn't help but feel a bit overwhelmed. This power was truly terrifying...

[Dream Seal] This special sealing ability probably won't be of much use to the Westward Journey Monster.

Reimu shook her head slightly, feeling a little helpless. Things were more troublesome than she had imagined.

Saigyouji Yuyuko had a symbiotic relationship with the Saigyou demon since she was born. No wonder she had to commit suicide to seal herself... Reimu couldn't help but sigh slightly in her heart. What a pity...

"Impossible! Countless Yin and Yang Masters have tried to seal the Westward Journey Demon, but so far, all of them have died at its hands... So, you must never touch the Westward Journey Demon. I don't want to see anyone die at its hands anymore!"

Reimu's words immediately excited Youyouko, and she quickly spoke up to dissuade him.

If anyone else died at the hands of the Journey to the West monster, Youyouzi probably wouldn't be able to bear it...

She was a very gentle girl, how could she possibly hope for someone to die because of her...

Reimu and Koizumi were slightly stunned, and then they both laughed bitterly at the same time.

"Now I understand why Zi fell in love with him. It's like finding a gem among a pile of junk. If I were in his shoes... I would cherish him too..."

Koizumi couldn't help but nod in agreement, a rare look of admiration appearing on his face.

"I agree..." Reimu couldn't help but nod, a look of approval on her face.

She had the same opinion... The Saigyouji Yuyuko in front of her was much more principled than that foodie ghost!

But then again, how many people with integrity are there in Gensokyo... Even I don't dare to claim to be full of integrity.

After all, my current state isn't quite right. My Ruler self is the same as when I was fully immersed in the mutation...

"Don't worry, since you don't want us to come into contact with the Journey to the West monster, then we won't... Besides, we're not that suicidal. If we still come into contact with the Journey to the West monster knowing that we'll die, wouldn't that be like having nothing better to do after eating..."
