Yi Dou scratched his head guiltily.
Riku said calmly, "Whether you cause trouble or not is another matter, but your subordinate, Hisaki Shinobu, is willing to make enemies of the entire Inazuma for your sake."
"Ah?" Ichito looked regretful. "Kuki Shinobu... I've caused her trouble again... It's all that stinky woman's fault! None of this would have happened if it weren't for her! I've never messed with her before! Damn it! I'll make her know how powerful the Araki-ha is!"
The priestess spoke up, "Let's put revenge aside for now. Tell me, isn't the little trinket that Suzuka Gozen took out angular and looks like a chess piece?"
"Yes, but not Inazuma's pieces. They're like Mondstadt's pieces. I don't know what those are, but they're incredibly powerful."
The goddess and Rikuo exchanged a glance. "It's the Heart of God. It seems that Suzuka Gozen is using the power of the Snake God's Head and the Heart of God to create monsters. If this continues, Inazuma will return to the era of the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons."
Arataki Ichito couldn't understand what the two were saying. Although he was also a yokai, he had to help Suzuka Gozen if anyone tried to defy her.
He stood up and patted his chest: "You want to take on Suzuka Gozen, huh? Take me with you! I'm pretty strong! When I get serious, I'm no less than Shuten-dōji!"
Just then, a scream suddenly came from behind them.
The furnace that Lu Sheng had cleaved open was now emanating an aura of malevolent spirits. Several fools who hadn't run fast enough were touched by the aura and instantly became entangled in black energy. They screamed and fell to the ground, struggling, and soon turned into ferocious monsters with red eyes.
The divine child cried out in alarm, "This is bad! The core energy is spreading! If this continues, the entire island will be submerged!"
"give it to me."
Lu Sheng rode the wind and rushed straight to the damaged furnace. Ignoring the evil spirits that plagued him, he charged in and grabbed the furnace's core, which was constantly spreading pollution outwards, absorbing all the energy contained within.
The evil spirit is a special power that comes from the lingering resentment of the remains of a demon god. It is of the same kind as the karma on Xiao's body, except that the lingering resentment of the great serpent is much stronger than that of an ordinary demon god, causing the entire island of Hachiyun to fall into the shadow of the evil spirit.
While the evil eye created using this power can enhance one's strength, the price to pay is many times higher.
Lu Sheng had already noticed something amiss on the pirate ship. The evil eye on the pirate was vastly different from the one he had stolen from the debtor. In comparison, it was utter garbage.
Compared to the evil eye in the hands of the Fools, it's as different as the difference between a fake cigarette and a pack of cigarettes.
The Firefly Sorcerer and the Debtor used the Evil Eye as easily as eating, and it didn't seem to have much of an effect on them. The Executor could only catch his breath at most.
As for unlucky guys like Teppei who used defective products, they lost their lives after a few times.
Riku believes that the reason why the Fools funded the Evil Eyes of the Resistance Army was not only to disrupt Inazuma, but more so to conduct human experiments.
After cleaning up the mess, Lu Sheng grabbed one of the Fools who hadn't managed to escape and demanded, "Who ordered you to create the Evil Eye here? Where is your executor?"
"We...we were forced into this! The Inazuma people have gone completely mad! They say they're going to conquer the entire continent! Lord Sanbing has also been captured. They obtained the technology for creating the Evil Eye from Lord Sanbing, and then they captured us all and enslaved us! Waaah...this place is no place for humans!"
The more the fools talked, the more aggrieved they became, until finally they burst into tears.
"Useless trash! What are you crying about? Would you have ended up like this if you hadn't gone to other people's territory to cause trouble? Don't you deserve it?"
As Lu Sheng cursed, he deliberately revealed the mask of the Fools to let him see it.
The fools' eyes widened in disbelief, their fear instantly replacing their apprehension.
"Want to go home?"
"I want to! I want to go back to Zhidong so badly, I'll never leave the country again in my life!"
Lu Sheng whispered to him, "Don't worry, I was sent by the Empress to rescue you. Listen to me, first gather everyone together, then go to Bayun Island to find a place to hide, and I will make arrangements after that."
The eyes of the Fools shone brightly. At this moment, Lu Sheng appeared to them as if the Queen of Winter had descended upon them, radiating divine light and as loving and warm as a mother.
"Very well! We will obey your orders, sir!"
Rikuo released him, letting him go and gather the scattered Fools. He knew he would inevitably have a battle with Suzuka Gozen in the future, and he felt the Anti-Suzuka Gozen Alliance was somewhat unreliable. It was necessary to cultivate his own force.
The Fools are mostly highly educated, with knowledge and technological skills far surpassing Inazuma's. They are also masters of forging and smelting techniques, and might even be able to manufacture an AK in this era.
"You actually managed to cleanse yourself of the evil spirit's pollution! I'm becoming more and more curious about you."
The divine child flew over, looked around, and saw no trace of the evil spirit.
She found it incredible when Rikuo cleaned up the Musou Blade Shazam, which had been impossible to deal with for thousands of years. She never expected that even the power of the evil spirit could be purified.
The divine child wondered, wouldn't this person's body lose control after absorbing so much filthy energy?
"We can't stay here any longer, we have to leave quickly." Lu Sheng glanced at Yi Dou, "I'll take you to Jiu Qi Ren first."
He then severed the Killing Stone with a single stroke, helping the Divine Child retrieve the fourth tail.
Afterwards, he took Ichidou and Miko back to the secret base to reunite with the others.
Two new members have been added to the anti-Suzuka Gozen lineup.
Ayaka was relieved that her judgment was correct; the Yae no Miko of the shrine was indeed a fake. However, she never expected that even a cunning fox like the Miko would be betrayed by Suzuka Gozen and end up like this.
In this way, her enemy changed from the goddess to Tamamo-no-Mae.
Upon learning that the Divine Child was searching for the Killing Stone to regain her power, Ayaka immediately offered her full assistance.
If the anti-Suzuka Gozen Alliance was merely a small-scale, overconfident opposition, then from the moment Yae no Miko joined, they would truly possess the resources to confront the shogunate.
It's not just Yae no Miko's formidable martial prowess, but also her status as a legitimate priestess.
The power of believers is quite terrifying. As long as Yae no Miko gives an order, those who worship Narukami Taisha will raise the banner of rebellion and fight against the shogunate together.
Therefore, doing everything possible to help the divine child regain his power is doing everything possible to help the Alliance itself.
Ayaka immediately set a goal: from now on, the Alliance would focus all its strength on reclaiming the Killing Stone.
Many hands make light work. Even if we can't defeat the demon guarding the Sesshoseki, we'll steal it back!
After Ayaka finished assigning tasks, Rikuo asked curiously, "How's the matter of the magistrate's office coming along?"
The intelligence agent, Hayato, jumped in to answer: "Things have developed unexpectedly. Kidomaru fled to become the Pirate King out of fear of punishment. Now the shogunate is pinning all the blame on Kidomaru and is gathering a naval fleet to wipe out the pirate forces off the coast of Inazuma in one fell swoop. So this incident has not caused much damage to the shogunate's credibility."
"Tsk... Your Guan Bai is really ruthless."
Rikuo recalled his encounter with Kidomaru. No matter how you looked at it, this guy was Inazuma War Wolf, such a loyal demon, but he was forced into this state.
As expected, if you become someone else's glove, you have to be prepared to be discarded at any time.
Ayaka did not feel that the operation was fruitless. She said, "At least we made them fight among themselves and let those loyal to Suzuka Gozen see her methods. Today it's Kidomaru, tomorrow it will be them. We have shaken people's hearts, and that is enough."
With a furrowed brow, Goro anxiously asked Miko and Ichito, "Miyaji, Mr. Ichito, do you have any news about the strategist?"
Both Miko and Ichito went to Inazuma Castle to meet Suzuka in person, as did Sango Miyako Kokoro; they might have bumped into each other.
However, the ending was still pessimistic, with both the Divine Child and Ichito stating that they had never seen the Heart Sea.
Goro was even more desperate. "What exactly did Suzuka do to the strategist? If I don't hear from her again, I'll go back to Kaiji Island, gather my old troops, and rebel against her once more!"
Rikuo comforted him, "Don't rush, it's not the right time yet. We can wait until they've exhausted their strength fighting each other before we turn against them. Since the Shogunate is going to war with Kidomaru, why don't we cause some minor disruptions?"
"How exactly did you cause the damage?"
Rikuo recounted the situation with Tsuruga and confirmed that Inazuma's army would use the power of the Evil Eye to enhance their strength.
"The evil eyes we created before are definitely stored somewhere. We can steal some of them and 'give' them to Kidomaru. As for the rest, we can accidentally leave some explosives there..."
Xiao Gong immediately perked up upon hearing this.
"You just mentioned explosives, right? Leave it to me. No matter how many Evil Eyes the Shogunate has stockpiled, I guarantee I can blow them all to smithereens!"
Zaoyou: "I'm good at finding things! I'll take charge of finding the Evil Eye warehouse!"
Linghua nodded. "In that case, let's divide the work. Xiaogong and Zaoyou will be responsible for stealing the Evil Eye and blowing up the warehouse. The rest of you will help Yaeguji find the Killing Stone. Be careful and cautious. If you are caught, try to delay and buy time for the organization to move."
Unable to contain their excitement, the members of the Feiyun Chamber of Commerce shouted, "What about us? We have to do something, right?"
Considering that the sailors are not familiar with Inazuma, it is definitely not suitable for them to gather information, let alone find the Sessho-seki (Killing Stone), as they would definitely get lost. There is really nothing that needs their help at the moment.
When Linghua was in a dilemma, Rikuo suggested, "You can help Xiaogong make explosives, or if that's not possible, you can help me with my work."
He then pulled out a large piece of the serpent god's remains, startling everyone.
"Grind this stone into powder for me, the finer the better."
Xiao Long tapped the remains with his finger, producing a metallic sound. "What the hell is this thing?"
"You'll find out when the time comes," Lu Sheng said with a mysterious smile.
He actually planned to use this bone to create a tyrant.
Doesn't Suzuka Gozen like creating yokai?
If she makes it, I'll make it too!
It just so happens that Inazuma is going to war, so he can test the power of the creation made from the remains of the demon god on the battlefield.
The Tongmenghui (Revolutionary Alliance) members were given tasks and began to get busy with their respective duties.
"Alright, it's time for us to reclaim my power." The divine child floated in the air, eager to try. "I can't wait to make Suzuka Gozen pay the price!"
"So where are we going next?" Lu Sheng asked.
The divine child wagged its tail and closed its eyes to sense.
After a while, she said hesitantly, "The seal has cut off most of the connection. If it's too far away, I can't sense it. I can only vaguely feel some energy pulling me from the south."
Rikuo rubbed his chin and analyzed, "Suzuka Gozen definitely wouldn't seal your tails in a safe place. Just look at the first four tails: the large town at the foot of Mount Kage, the lightning element waters of Musou no Blade, the Puppet Sword Demon, and Futaba Sand. These are some of the most dangerous places in Inazuma, so the locations of the other tails must not be much better."
"Running straight to the most dangerous place in Inazuma is probably the right thing to do."
The Divine Child also agreed that this made sense. According to Rikuo's idea, then Qinglai Island and Heguan Island must also hide the Killing Stone, especially Qinglai Island, which is a perfect place to hide the Killing Stone because of the constant thunderstorms and powerful demons living in the thunderclouds.
"Let's go to Qinglai Island first; it's right in the south."
The two set off immediately, flying on their swords to Qinglai Island.
Before even approaching Qinglai Island, thunder rumbled in the sky, and lightning and thunderclouds completely enveloped the entire island, mercilessly turning any creature that attempted to fly into the island into charred remains.
Lu Sheng flew directly into the clouds on his sword and began to show off his agility amidst bursts of lightning.
The lightning became more and more frequent, as if the island's ruler had noticed the intruder. Large swaths of dark clouds continued to gather, and lightning fell like raindrops, determined to knock the intruder down from the sky.
Lu Sheng dodged left and right in the thunderclouds, as if playing a bullet hell game. His Three Thousand Thunder Movements technique made him even faster than lightning.
Thousands of thunderclaps roared simultaneously, yet not a single one could knock him down.
Soon, Lu Sheng saw the huge platform floating in mid-air. On the platform, a strange-looking elemental creature was staring at him menacingly.
Lei Yin Quan Xian is the most hated monster in the entire game, bar none.
Inazuma Chapter: Chapter 86: Instant Thunder Flash
The version that Rikuo got into the series was the Inazuma version.
Back then, I was a newbie who had painstakingly completed the Mondstadt-Liyue storyline, and arrived in Inazuma with the strongest Electro DPS Keqing. I was full of curiosity about everything and happily explored everywhere.
