[Araki Kazuto: Just like now, short violet melon]

[Ying: This side of Paimon is really rare; she's usually so noisy.]

[Paimon: Whose side are you on? If you keep doing this, I'm really going to get angry!]

In the video.

Noticing Yingmei approaching, Paimon rubbed his eyes and woke up.

"Um...where is this?"

Although Yingmei is always a bit of a jerk, she is, after all, my best friend, and it would be a lie to say I'm not worried.

"We're still underground. Is Paimon feeling any better?"

"Hmm, much better! They were probably just scared because they'd never seen such an exaggerated place before..."

"I will always be with Paimon."

"hey-hey..."

Immediately afterwards, Xiao also woke up from his meditative state.

Yanfei came over and asked what had happened.

"Just some pointless fighting."

Xiao explained to everyone why he came here, "I came here to find someone, but I didn't expect... that person seems to be very different from what I thought."

Yan Fei knew some things about him; he had been stationed at Wangshu Inn for many years.

Is he leaving to find an immortal?

"I'm looking for a Yaksha named Fushe."

"Is it Fushe, one of the Five Great Yakshas along with you?" Yanfei had heard stories about the Yakshas. "But apart from you, aren't the other four Yakshas all dead?"

"That's true, but of all the people, only Fushe's body has not been found."

Xiao continued, "Yakshas have been dealing with the remains of demons for many years, and they are tainted with karma. Over time, they inevitably go mad... The last time I saw Fushe was on the day he went mad."

Xiao looked somber; it was rare to see him with such an expression.

“He left, nobody knows where he went, and I haven’t heard from him since.” His tone was somewhat sad.

“But Fushe is the eldest of the five of us. He once said that there are many battles with the Yakshas. Whether they are dead or alive, we should look after each other and know where they are.”

[Yanfei: Did he forget the promise because he was crazy?]

[Xingqiu: The Great Sage risked his life to find this Brother Fushe, right?]

Xiao: ...I'm the one who survived. If there's any news, I'll keep my promise.

Xiao then turned and began to talk about the War of Kanreia.

The war lasted a long time, and it is said that someone saw a valiant and skilled Yaksha in the midst of the battle.

Unfortunately, no one knows the name of that Yaksha.

“Fushe has his pride, and if he participates in a battle, he will definitely announce his name.”

"I originally thought that the nameless demon... shouldn't be him."

Ying looked at his expression, "Could it be... that you found Fushe?"

Xiao didn't answer, which was tantamount to admitting it.

Yan Fei hadn't expected this turn of events. "Wait, was the person you were fighting Fu She? Was he the one who injured you?"

"Yes."

Chapter 103 Internal Strife, One Fight Breaks the Stalemate with a Single All-Out Strike

When Xiao said "yes," his voice trembled.

[Yanfei: The Great Sage...]

Paimon: Xiao must be really sad.

[Arataki Ichito: The system is trying to evoke tears again, but this time I'm here, hahaha, I won't let you succeed.]

[Furina: The situation is getting more and more complicated. Not only do we need to escape, but we also need to find a way to save Fushe.]

[Leosley: Restoring a mad immortal to his senses is not as simple as you might think]

[Kaeya: Not only that, but the moment you have the thought of saving someone, you will be exploited by the space.]

The situation is becoming increasingly dangerous.

"The invasion of the Kanria monsters, the Battle of the Layered Rocks. And the ancestors of Yelan, I always feel that everything seems to be connected in the dark."

Yanfei analyzed based on Xiao's words.

"There are many coincidences, but they can't be that coincidental. What could these events have to do with the ritual implement, the Taiwei Plate, mentioned in the will?"

Xiao confirmed some of Yanfei's guesses.

"It was no accident that you saw my phantom that day. This space took advantage of your desire to find companions, creating an opportunity to force you into the trap."

"But a simple deception is easy to expose. The truth, with a little bit of lying, is the most terrifying. It delivers to you what I really said."

This one-way transmission of information through space is merely a decoy.

Xiao came here to warn everyone.

If we stay here any longer, we might be swallowed up by the space.

The shadows, like wandering ghosts, lingered underground.

[Hu Tao: Does this space possess its own consciousness? It's too intelligent!]

[Xingqiu: Setting traps, baiting, a mix of truth and lies, it's all a scheme, Chongyun, what do you think?]

[Chongyun: Even the Great Sage is in a difficult position here, do you really want me to go down there?]

[Hiyōzō Kanoin: In other words, Ukisha did not die after the great battle, but was trapped in the space and became a wandering spirit, which will attack people who come to this place.]

In the video.

Yelan joined the conversation.

She also saw hallucinations, but they were not threatening.

Xiao believes that the illusion will eventually materialize and then attack everyone.

He shared his guess.

"As Yanfei said, the space here is chaotic and unpredictable, but flawed. I tried to attack the connection point between the two spaces and successfully created a rift to get here."

"So... if I exert all my strength, I might be able to tear a passage through the chaotic space."

A powerful attack can tear open a passage.

But what does it mean to do everything in one's power?

Xiao remained silent. "...Yes, to the best of my ability."

Once the channel is opened, Xiao needs to continuously inject energy to maintain it.

They all understood what this meant.

By doing this, Xiao will definitely never be able to go back.

Yanfei, Ying, and Paimeng all voiced their opposition.

How could we use this method? If we're going back, we'll all go back together.

Xiao said calmly, "You can only judge the quality of a method if you have a plan to implement. Given the current situation, I imagine you don't have any better ideas, otherwise you wouldn't still be stuck here."

Under persistent questioning, he finally admitted that this method wasn't guaranteed to succeed.

Even if it were 100% successful, they wouldn't agree.

"Is this your strategy?" Ye Lan finally spoke after a long silence.

"Excuse my bluntness, but the solution you proposed cannot guarantee success or safety."

"As you said, the Yaksha is somewhat dangerous to humans. Are we really obligated to accept such a presumptuous plan that you have so readily proposed?"

Upon hearing that Xiao was going to sacrifice himself, Yelan reacted very strongly, her words laced with barbs.

"I've experienced dangerous battles before, and I should never reveal such extreme measures until the very last moment."

Mandrill remained silent.

"You say these things hoping that everyone will understand and accept them, but when self-sacrifice may not be useful, saying such things will only demoralize people."

The atmosphere between the two was tense and hostile.

Xiao turned to face Yelan. "If we don't find a new way out, and we're already too weak to even sacrifice ourselves... what do you plan to do then?"

Ye Lan did not back down at all, "At this stage, there is no difference in the success rate between sacrificing you and finding an unknown way out. The two strategies are evenly matched, and we cannot act immediately."

[Datalia: Is infighting really a good thing at a time like this?]

[Ying: No matter what, it's impossible to sacrifice a comrade.]

[Yanfei: Yeah, we could never do something like that.]

[Yae no Miko: Miss Yoran, you seem to have a strong reaction to the word 'sacrifice'.]

[Night Orchid: ...]

In the video, the two were locked in a stalemate.

A hearty laugh rang out.

"A full-force attack to break through space? Haha, unfortunately, I overheard it."

"I don't want to hear that 'one stays, one goes' nonsense! After all that talk, isn't this exactly what I wanted?!"

Yi Dou slowly walked to a stone wall, despite his poor condition.

"Come on, let me see what kind of monster this is that can trap people inside!"

Ichidou gathered his rock elemental power in his right hand and unleashed a powerful punch!

"Try this trick!"
