Start with Star Iron and the connection will become stronger

Fan Yu: "Take me there."

Gobazo nodded. Now that the seal had been released, it couldn't wait to go outside for a walk.

Along with its chubby figure, a demonic power attached to its feet. It led its demon raccoon brothers and headed towards the east of the Guardian Forest, then signaled Fan Yu and the others to follow.

Soon after……

Fan Yu and his companions came to a hillside where there was a small protruding hill.

The moonlight reflected the sky, and faint fluorescent petals were scattered in the air. Wu Baizang pointed to the small hillside and said to Fan Yu, "This should be it. Hundreds of years have passed, and we can't guarantee that the things are still there."

Fan Yu nodded and immediately signaled it to start digging.

Of course, Gobazo couldn't dig it himself, so he ordered his three little raccoons who believed in him to reluctantly apply demonic power to their claws to make them sharper.

The three little foxes quickly pushed aside the hill and found a still-broken ghost mask inside.

Fan Yu took the mask soaked in sand and mud. It was exactly the same as the mask worn by the warrior in the memory he had absorbed before.

But the aura above has a weird feeling.

As a general of the Tenryo Bugyo, Kujo Sara knew many of Inazuma's hidden secrets. No...it would be better to say that Inazuma's time, from five hundred years ago to the present time, is a completely different era.

The so-called 'eternity' of the Shogun's will that she carried out also began after the great event that happened to Inazuma five hundred years ago.

The remaining aura on the mask, on her alert face, was enough to explain everything: "This is... the aura of 'Chongshen'!"

Fan Yu: "This again?"

Gobazo: "What are you talking about?"

"It's just a force that erodes the Inazuma land veins. It was originally just the resentment of the monsters, which took root in the land and affected people." Kujo Sara gave a rough explanation and frowned deeply.

According to common sense, the breath of Chongshen should have appeared on Snake Island!

Because the general killed the giant snake over there, the resentment generated by its blood and flesh spilling onto the ground has never been dispelled.

"It's like a curse!" Fan Yu clenched the mask in his hand. The sun emblem on the back of his hand glowed faintly, and then he heard the mask shatter with a snap.

Jiujo Sara looked at Fan Yu in astonishment: "You, absorbed it into your body?"

Fan Yu: "No, to be precise, it came in here on its own."

While speaking, Fan Yu pointed to the back of his hand.

As for the sun emblem on the back of Fan Yu's hand, she had previously witnessed the horrifying scene where Fan Yu summoned a luminous object from it, turning the mountains and rivers outside Inazuma City upside down. If the other party could restrain this aura, it seemed not impossible.

however--

Kujo Sara gave the other man a deep look. "Those who are imbued with the aura of deity worship will unconsciously be influenced in their personalities, ultimately turning them into killing machines. I hope you take care of yourself!"

Fan Yu's expression was quite subtle. He could not sense the impact of what Jiu Tiao Sara said. "Thank you for the reminder. I hadn't considered absorbing it. It approached me on its own."

There was a faint black smoke floating in the air, drifting away from in front of Fan Yu. There seemed to be a faint roar of unwillingness and the illusion of letting go of everything.

“But the process of getting closer is also good.”

A question mark appeared above Kujo Sara's head: "What?"

Fan Yu didn't continue to explain: "It doesn't matter anymore."

The 'experience in other people's lives' gained from the Flower of Revelation—the so-called experience points—do not encompass a person's entire life.

It's more like a process of condensing a certain stage and making it look like an immersive experience of someone else's life.

However, after learning about the outcome that he had given to the first person, and that he had practiced hard as the other party wished, and finally went to defend his country, Fan Yu also wished for the other party's spirit in heaven.

"call!"

Fan Yu let out a long breath, then took away the mask in his hand that had lost its power, and a flash of lightning appeared in his palm.

Purple electric light splashed out from the field, condensing into a blazing white, and then the mask, which had lost its corrosive aura, melted on the spot.

This surprised both Gohyakuzang and Kujo Sara.

The purpose of coming to the Guardian Forest is to destroy it?

"I have learned everything I wanted to know when I came to the Guardian Forest, and it is just a souvenir on the way to the result. I don't need any more masks." Fan Yu responded and then looked at Kujo Sara.

"Let's go to the next place."

Wu Baizang was startled: "What about us?"

"I broke your seal, and you told me the information I wanted. My deal with you is complete. As for where you want to go next, that's up to you."

29 Shaking "Eternity"

After saying that, Fan Yu left with Jiu Tiao Sha Luo.

Gobazo and a group of little raccoons watched their backs as they walked away, and when their figures completely disappeared, they also withdrew their gaze.

"Gohyukura-sama, the seal of the Guardian Forest is gone. Are the happy days of teasing humans like before gone?"

The little demons looked back at the core area of ​​the Guardian Forest. The scene where it was shrouded in moonlight and the trees were covered with ghost lights no longer existed.

There was also a hint of loneliness on Gobazo's face. He had lived in the Guarding Forest for hundreds of years, and even though it was the time when he was imprisoned, it was a time that he missed particularly.

In the past, a group of little raccoons in the Guardian Forest admired the moon. The little raccoons sat on their bodies and looked up at the rainbow that appeared above their heads after the rain. Even the hillbillies who occasionally ran into the forest to cause trouble were a very pleasant process for them in their long years.

Now, although it has been freed by Fan Yu after its seal was broken, Wu Bai Zang really can't think of what to do next for the time being.

It remained there in thought for a while.

After a long moment, Gobazo finally turned his gaze towards the distant Shadow Mountain to the west of the Guardian Forest. "I don't know what happened to those guys before, but now that I'm free, I must go check on that fox first!"

"Gohyuko-sama, are you going to…" The little raccoon looked at their patron anxiously. They were born relatively recently, but they knew that Gohyuko-sama's sealing was inextricably linked to the Kagemukaiyama Narukami Shrine.

Gobazo: "Hmph, I don't know what's going on in the outside world right now, but the cherry blossoms over there are still in full bloom. That fox should have lived longer than us, right?"

"Let's go, boys. Let's go!"

……

at the same time.

As time passed, the noise created by the battle between Fanyu and Kujo Sara outside Inazuma Castle, no, to be more precise, the noise created by Fanyu alone with the [Star Core], was inevitably discovered by people walking outside Inazuma Castle.

At first, it was just some residents walking outside the city who heard the noise from afar and hurriedly fled. Then, there were adventurers in the wild who were trying to return before nightfall after defeating slimes, but they encountered a noise comparable to a major earthquake, and were so frightened that they dared not move.

When everything calmed down, they went to investigate the area where Fanyu and Kujo Sara were, but they saw an inverted image that completely violated the laws of nature.

The adventurers then brought the information back to Inazuma Castle.

The Tenryo Bugyo of Inazuma Castle, also in charge of the castle, had become concerned after their superior had been out of town for a long time, searching for the missing person and yet to return. With the intelligence they received from the adventurers, the Tenryo Bugyo's soldiers and captains realized the situation was not going well.

They combined the information and were about to head to the castle tower to request search instructions...

Someone appeared that none of them expected.

With her long purple hair tied into a ponytail and purple eyes that seemed to glow, she walked out of the castle tower with a sharp gaze.

"General...!" Captain Tianling Fengxing looked at the figure that appeared in astonishment.

Most of the time, they cannot see Inazuma's ruler.

Most of the time, the general almost never goes out. Only the generals who follow their orders can meet with him.

"Where is your general?" General Lei Dian asked in a calm tone.

Captain Tenryo Bugyo suddenly grew nervous. He hesitated and said, "Kujo-sama is pursuing the murderer who killed the head of the remote island's Kanjo Bugyo, and he hasn't returned yet."

"is it?"

General Lei Dian seemed to be thinking about something, his eyes looking outside.

Putting aside the Eye of God on the Seven-Day Statue, she was awakened from her meditation in the Pure Land of One Mind, which was interrupted by an inexplicable force. Now, looking towards Inazuma, there was some confusion in her eyes.

Most ordinary people can only catch a glimpse of elemental power in their lifetime. Users of the God's Eye use their external organs to sense the magic of nature. For these demon gods, sensing aura is like an innate instinct.

In the eyes of General Lei Dian, the sky outside Inazuma City was now an irregular flow of elements, almost chaotically spread out in the sky.

In a more distant direction, some enormous power broke out from the Guardian Forest. Although it was only for a moment, it was still captured by her 'eternity'.

"General, Lord Jiujo has disappeared outside the city. We would like to apply to investigate..." the captain of the Tianling Bugyo requested seriously.

Although saying such words at this time was essentially like impeaching the respected Lord Kujo in front of the General, they were more worried about the life of their immediate superior than their reputation.

After all, the murderer they are tracking is the man who killed the head of the Hiiragi family, the "Kanjo Bugyo" of the remote island!

General Lei Dian glanced at them with indifferent eyes, and then said calmly: "Go!"

A group of soldiers obeyed the order and withdrew immediately.

General Raiden, who stayed where he was, looked at the traces of elements in the distance and frowned secretly. The reason that could affect the changes outside Inazuma Castle was a threat to "eternity".

However, the flow of elemental power in the distant sky has obviously begun to return to its original definition. Even if there is a threat, the source of the threat has been evacuated.

General Lei Dian decided to go and investigate.

In the past five hundred years, apart from the killing of the great snake, there have been very few cases of such a power that could shake the world to eternity appearing in Inazuma.

She watched the soldiers of Tianling Fengxing gradually leaving the mansion, and her figure silently turned into a purple lightning and disappeared from the spot.

……

Not long after.

On the outskirts of Inazuma Castle.

The soldiers of Tianling Bugyo came to the battle site between Brahma and Kujo Sara. They stared blankly at the former waterfall landscape turned into grassland, and the flat grassland turned into uneven rock layers.

The river has formed a kind of stone bridge that seems to lead to the top of the head, but there is no structure.

The entire environment outside the city looked like a third-rate painter who had randomly painted the pictures in his mind on paper, presenting a messy and disorganized scene.

A spiral passage that disappeared not far ahead, although it had dissipated, still left traces on the earth.

General Lei Dian stared into the void ahead, his gaze gradually becoming fierce: "Abyss..."

30 Kamisato Yashiki

"What's this?!"

The soldiers of Tianling Fengxing did not notice the appearance of General Lei Dian behind them. They looked at the upside-down scene in front of them, and couldn't help but show shock on their faces.

The scene before them went against their common sense.

Water flows to low places, grass mostly grows on plains, and mountain cliffs are at the top... These were the common sense they had learned. But the scenes before them had completely overturned them.

The riverbed is facing the sky, the lawn stands on the edge of the cliff, and the original grassland stands between the mountain streams.

It is unbelievable that this kind of scene, which only appears in the graffiti of a three-year-old child, is reproduced in reality.

"Boss, we've found something here." A soldier from Tianling Fengxing shouted.

The captain of the Tianling Bugyo came over and saw the place where the squatting soldier pointed. There were arrow marks left over from the previous competition between Fanyu and Jiujo Sara, but there were some scorched earth with thunder and lightning around it.

There was also a black crow feather on the ground that belonged to Tengu.

"This is Lady Kujo. She fought here." Captain Tenryo Bugyo looked around at the scenes left behind, and an indescribable complex feeling arose in his heart.

What kind of enemy did their boss encounter that could create such a scene?

The soldier of the Tenryo Bugyo hesitated and said, "Master Kujo is not here. Could it be that he has been defeated..."

"Shut up!" Captain Tianling Fengxing shouted.

The soldier realized that he had said the wrong thing and fell silent.

The captain of Tianling Fengxing also had some worries in his eyes.

He did not forget the target that Lord Kujo was searching for. When they were patrolling Inazuma Castle as Tenryo Bugyo, they accidentally discovered the suspect who had committed a crime on the outlying island.

Because Lord Kujo could not guarantee the safety of others, he went ahead to investigate.

However, this time he left, he never came back.

According to their intelligence, he was a man who was able to kill the head of the "Kanjo Bugyo" area, Shinsuke Hiiragi, with a single sword strike, which shows how dangerous he was.

Of course he had thought about what might happen to his boss.

But with such a dangerous existence, it is not impossible that his boss, who has the blood of Tengu, would be defeated.

But on the surface, the captain of the Tianling Bugyo still said solemnly: "Kujo-sama will never lose."

……
