This kind of trust is strange.
It's as if the whole world has abandoned you, but you still believe that there is someone who will stick by you.
"Alright then, I'll return it to you... Be careful."
Communication is interrupted.
Lu Ye communicates with Xiao Bai using their thoughts, so only a little over ten seconds have passed so far.
Open the panel again, and two more columns will appear at the bottom.
Current Star Points: 2
[ps: xxxxxxxx, xxxxxxxxx]
The second line is still garbled, but that doesn't matter.
Are you sure you want to use Star Points to restore memories from before the world line was altered?
[yes or no]
Lu Ye didn't hesitate and chose yes.
Memories surged forth like a tidal wave, memories that had been altered by some force.
Lu Ye suddenly remembered everything.
Ashina is a country where legends of immortality have been passed down since ancient times.
Long, long ago, a divine dragon came from the far west and arrived at the Fountainhead Palace, the highest point in Ashina.
And this is the beginning of "immortality".
Its power was released due to an abdominal injury, eventually engulfing the entire Ashina Kingdom.
In each generation, a person with the power of "Dragon's Blood" will appear in Ashina, and they will be called the Dragon's Blood Prince.
Those who possess the "Dragon's Blood" will neither die nor bleed, and can sign contracts with others, who will then become immortal.
This immortality is not like Dojun's red eyes, or Hanbei's parasite.
It is true immortality; the Dragon's Heir cannot be killed, and not even blood can flow. It is an extremely noble ability.
The current Dragon Heir is none other than Jiulang.
The conspiracy at Hirata Manor also stemmed from this.
The Imperial Household Agency's goal is to conquer Ashina and unify the country.
Within Hirata Castle, some desire the power of immortality.
Therefore, the mission is not over.
Lu Ye only prevented Hirata Castle from being captured, but he has not yet guaranteed the safety of the Hirata family, especially Kuro!
“Violet, there will be a battle soon,” Lu Ye said. “Be prepared as much as possible.”
The girl nodded silently.
I climbed over the side wall into the courtyard, but it was empty.
Following her memory, Lu Ye walked towards the main house.
The room was filled with the corpses of samurai, all of whom had their lives ended cleanly and decisively.
Keep moving forward.
At the far end of the main house is a small room with a hidden door in the floor.
After Violet used brute force to open the hidden door, there was a descending staircase.
Before Lu Ye even reached the bottom of the stairs, he heard the sound of blades clashing.
There is a fight going on below.
Softening their steps, Lu Ye gradually descended the path, and what came into view was a huge ancestral hall.
A gigantic ninja, towering in stature, is battling an elderly woman.
Beneath the Buddha statue in the ancestral hall, Jiulang stood silently, his eyes vacant and his mind unclear.
The wolf was knocked to the side, its fate unknown.
"Oh, someone else is here." Suddenly, the old woman stopped what she was doing.
"Is that so?" The giant ninja, whose white hair was tied back, also stopped wielding his katana.
Now that we've been exposed, there's no need to keep hiding.
Lu Ye and Violet both appeared.
"Oh... these are the guests the head of the household was talking about?" The old woman looked at the two with great interest.
"Hmph, a mere brat, state your name!" The giant ninja blade pointed at Lu Ye.
“Of course I have a name,” Lu Ye slowly drew his sword, “but a lowly ninja who doesn’t even have a name has no right to ask me.”
The giant ninja's forehead was bulging with veins.
Lu Ye knew he was in a hurry.
Lu Ye now knows very well who these two people are.
The giant ninja was named Owl, and the old woman was named Butterfly.
The former is "Owl", and the latter is "Phantom Butterfly".
Both were Ashina warriors who had participated in the war to seize the country. They were highly skilled and made great contributions to Ashina.
Owl was Wolf's adoptive father, having rescued him from the battlefield and raised him. However, during his years in Hirata, he learned the secret of immortality and wanted to kidnap Kuro. Thus, he colluded with the Imperial Household and mountain bandits, transferred the samurai stationed in Hirata, and orchestrated all of this.
Although Lu Ye had disrupted his plan, most of the samurai in Hirata Castle were outside the castle at the moment, and the mansion's defenses were weak. So he seized the opportunity to kidnap Kuro to satisfy his ambition, but was stopped by another ninja, Cho.
The reason why Xiao was annoyed by Lu Ye's words was because Lu Ye had hit his sore spot.
The ninja was nameless, while Owl Sky possessed superb martial arts skills, yet he could not achieve fame and fortune like Isshin Ashina.
Therefore, he wanted to achieve immortality and become famous throughout the world.
As two ninjas of the Hirata family, Owl is ambitious, while Butterfly is loyal.
"So, kid, what brings you here?" Butterfly's kunai seemed ready to spring into action.
"Of course, I'm here to rescue that little boy named Jiulang," Lu Ye said. "I haven't told him about airplanes yet."
“They’re not from the Owls, that makes things easier.” Butterfly’s wrinkles smoothed out slightly. “But if you don’t have the strength, you’ll die.”
"Hmph, Butterfly, I'll kill that brat first, then I'll kill you."
Xiao snorted coldly and charged towards Lu Ye with his massive body.
Chapter 125 Battle in the Ancestral Hall
The owl's figure transformed into a gust of wind and arrived swiftly.
This is a move from the ninja style founded by Owl.
—Giant Ninja Thrust.
Using the blade as a pivot, he propels himself forward with an extremely powerful thrust. The enemy struck is used as a stepping stone before falling from the sky to be decapitated. The way he pierces through his enemy and then gracefully takes flight is just like an owl hunting.
At that moment, Lu Ye stared at Xiao's figure, his brain rapidly processing this extremely lethal move.
From the way he held the knife, to his sprinting posture, to the way his arm muscles exerted force... Lu Ye saw it all clearly.
Then, he raised the python revolver and fired three shots at Owl.
bang bang bang! ! !
The owl's movement was abruptly halted; the bullet was faster than him, its tip spinning inside the owl's body, creating a cavity effect.
Before Owl could figure out what was happening, Violet's nodachi came flying at him.
The blade she wielded with her slender arm produced a dull whistling sound.
Xiao was startled and, disregarding his injuries, instantly leaned back, otherwise Violet would have severed his head.
But at this moment, Lu Ye's knife was always by his side.
This was a joint attack by Lu Ye and Violet. The close and smooth coordination was enough to prove the high level of understanding between the two.
"Drink it!!"
The owl roared and shrank into the air.
Just as Lu Ye's blade was about to pierce his body, Xiao's body transformed into a ball of black feathers and vanished.
"It's actually a Mist Raven...!" Lu Ye's attack missed.
"Kid, you know quite a lot. Those are feathers from a mist crow. They can be used as tools for ninjutsu, but there's a limit to the number you can use. He used them all up just now."
The butterfly landed in front of them: "Fine, since you're not bad, I'll join forces with you."
"That's good. What happened to Jiulang?"
"I used a little illusion to prevent him from seeing this," Butterfly said. "The patriarch is still alive. If you have the chance, take the young master and escape."
The owl stood ten meters away, its black feathers shielding it from Lu Ye's attack.
He looked down and poked his dark fingers into the wound, managing to pull out the bullet.
“The essence of a ninja’s protective techniques lies in this,” Xiao said coldly, looking at Lu Ye. “Your hidden weapon only scratched my skin, but did not touch my bones.”
Lu Ye understood this, of course; a general-purpose bullet with only 9mm power could not possibly harm Xiao.
This is an owl in its prime; to kill him, you must personally sever his breath with a blade.
"Then, let's continue!"
The owl charged forward again, sword in hand, but the butterfly leaped lightly and actually stopped in mid-air.
If you look closely, you can see many transparent threads in the air, and the butterflies walk on them as if on flat ground.
She held something bright yellow between her fingers and then threw it out!
They were actually fluttering butterflies, tracing irregular paths through the air as they flew towards the owl.
