Chapter 167 Retreat and Advance
"So, how's the progress between you and Mr. Baijie lately~~"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Hiiragi Hiruko, who was drinking water from a bamboo tube, was choked by Fumi's words through remote communication.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

She couldn't help coughing.

"Okay... from what you said, I know there's still no progress. Sigh... this isn't a solution."

Fumei's tone was full of disappointment.

"If you keep putting it off like this, when will you finally get married?"

"marry?!"

With a thud, Hiiragi Hiruko felt her heart beating violently, and her cheeks immediately flushed.

——Is that what it means to get married?
First become lovers, then hold a wedding, become his bride, and then give birth to a baby?
"No... that's too far."

She said this, but her mind was full of thoughts.

"No, no, no... I haven't thought about that yet."

Hiiragi Hiruko blushed and interrupted these messy thoughts.

"Also, I think the most important thing right now is to help Mr. Baijie and solve his health problems."

"It's not a question of whether you want to do it or not. Once it comes to that point, it will just happen naturally."

Fumi felt helpless about the girl's late maturity. She pretended to cough lightly and said, "By the way, Mahora-sama and Yuki Yasha-hime, did these two gods say how to cure Baijie's condition?"

"The purification ritual should have some effect."

Hiiragi Hiruko's expression seemed hesitant and confused.

Suddenly, at this moment, a voice came from behind.

"Ms. Hiruko, it's almost done."

The voice frightened Hiiragi Hiruko so much that she straightened her back.

"It's Mr. Lianzhang! Why, why, why are you here?"

Hiiragi Hiruko's heart was beating wildly and she became flustered.

"Please prepare a little..."

Renjo Senjuro sighed in his heart: "We're about to set off."

……

After a simple day of rest, everyone began to march along the steep mountain path in the back mountain towards the old territory of the Yuejialuo family.

There was a light mist floating in the mountains. Looking down from the mountain, the fog gradually became thicker, and even the height could not be distinguished.

"It's not snowing today, but it seems there's no sun either."

Ye Ming walked down the mountain, his cheeks wet by the sticky mist. He looked around and found that this was a lush and dense dark forest - because it was a cold temperate coniferous forest, most of the trees growing in the forest were evergreen trees such as pine, spruce and fir.

The dim mist filled the air like the breath of trees, giving people a vague sense of foreboding.

"There are absolutely no animals, and there is almost no demonic presence," Hiiragi Hiruko closed her eyes and slightly sensed the demonic presence around her.

"Isn't this the lair of that evil god? It seems there are very few demons serving as 'sentinels' here... What's the reason for this? Could it be that after the original left, the clones have become unimportant?"

She came to this conclusion.

Due to the special ability of the Great Witch to communicate even with "animals", her perception of the surroundings is more accurate.

Even though it was winter, there would still be hibernating snakes and non-migrating birds. However, the sounds of creatures whose movements could be felt but not seen emerged everywhere, disappearing into the cracks in the forest.

Although there are monsters, they should be the followers of the evil god, but they are some distance away from us, almost all outside the area centered on the old territory, as if they are deliberately keeping a distance from here.

"Do not."

Baijie interrupted, explaining, "There's simply no need for that. The clone of the 'Shadow of the Fierce God' alone is powerful enough. There's no need for other monsters to act as its guards. Moreover, Kotankoro Kamui's clone is too ferocious. Even his followers can't get too close..."

"Y-really?"

Hiiragi Hiruko looked a little nervous.

"If that's the case, it would be very dangerous."

"Actually, there's no need to worry too much."

Renjo Senjuro said in a deep voice, "Our main purpose here is just reconnaissance, and also to help Miss Ye Ming find the relics of the former head of the family, Washizu. If that doesn't work, we should quickly withdraw from the old territory. We are not here to defeat the clone of the evil god. The best way is to avoid fighting as much as possible." "That's right."

Baijie nodded.

"It doesn't necessarily have to be a fight... As long as we can cleverly exploit the situation, there's a chance it will go smoothly."

"We will all use invisibility to sneak in. Even if the enemy is very difficult, as long as we don't get discovered, it won't be a big problem."

Old man Matsudaira explained with a smile.

"However, for safety reasons, we must also prepare a way out."

"...Teleportation array."

Zhuoan let out a breath and lowered his hat to his eyes.

"I and my companions, with the instructions of Lord Yujiao, will set up a teleportation array nearby. Using space teleportation, we can bring everyone back to the Ainu camp. However, maintaining this teleportation array requires concentration. I, two members of the Shell Snake Clan, and Lord Saizo will all stay here to set up the teleportation array."

"It's inconvenient for us to act together."

Saizo sighed, "The ninjas accompanying us are too weak. They will stay here with me. Since we are mainly operating in secret, having fewer people is not a bad thing."

"That's right."

Renjo Senjuro nodded.

"We'll leave first."

……

"Shouldn't you take this opportunity to take action?"

The fox girl Zhu Ling asked Youye and Wuye.

The two of them formed an alliance and decided to act for their own goals.

In order to track down Baijie and Yeming and their group, they hid in the dark and followed them.

The fox girl and Youye Wuye both have the ability to sneak. Unless Yue Jialuo Yeming can perfectly control the "Eye of Heavenly Awareness", it will be difficult to detect their actions.

"No, the time is not right yet."

Youye Wuye shook his head.

"Also, I can't personally kill Yue Jialuo Yeming. You have to do it."

She could not disobey her mother Ge Hua's orders.

At least now Ge Hua doesn't want to kill Yue Jialuo Yeming.

However, Youye Wuye does not think so.

"Okay... so when exactly is the 'time'?"

The fox girl Zhu Ling asked back.

"Like I said before...just wait."

……

On the other side, after separating from Zhuan, Saizo and the others, they headed towards the winter woods.

The trees were piled with snow after a snowfall, and the clear, cold wind from the forest gently caressed my cheeks. The trees, noisily rubbing their leaves, seemed to be whispering softly. The middle strip connecting the back mountain and the old territory was also a forest of fir trees.

However, after the territory was occupied by the evil spirit, it was filled with mist and miasma, and there were almost no animals living there. Bai Jie and others undoubtedly had to open a path through the wilderness to move forward.

"Originally, this area of ​​the mountain behind was taken care of by someone, but now it seems almost completely abandoned," said old man Song Ping. He showed a regretful expression on his face when he saw the almost deserted forest covered with rotten dead grass.

"There seems to be something ahead?"

After adjusting his breathing a little, Baijie looked into the depths of the fog and saw something neatly arranged.

"It should be a tombstone."

Ye Ming frowned slightly, as if she was thinking about something. Finally, she whispered, "I came here when I was a child. There should be a cemetery nearby."

“It is indeed a cemetery.”

Baijie also took a look and took the lead to walk forward.

It was a rotten land covered with rotten grass. Apart from a small path, it was surrounded by mossy stone tablets and rotten towers.

After crossing this path, everyone continued forward from the area lined with tombstones.
