Upon hearing this, the two looked at Principal Yagami. Seeing the veins on Principal Yagami's forehead, Gojo Satoru realized that Principal Yagami was angry.

This was the first time she had ever seen Principal Night Moth so angry. Faced with this teacher, she had to suppress her fighting spirit, snorted coldly, and turned her head away from Lu Ziyun.

Lu Ziyun didn't care whether Principal Yemo agreed or not. However, seeing that Gojo Satoru had lost all fighting spirit, he realized that this was not the best time to fight, so he had no choice but to give up the battle.

Only then did Principal Moth's brow relax. He rubbed his temples and slowly spoke:

"I've gathered you all here not to fight. For the time being, you will all be teammates and need to deal with the same enemy."

"enemy?"

Natsumi Eri had always been deeply concerned about this disaster that had engulfed all of Japan, so when Principal Yagi mentioned the enemy, she immediately connected it with the mastermind behind the disaster:

"Being able to release around ten million cursed spirits at once is no longer a question of strength; it requires a huge amount of manpower and time. Perhaps the mastermind behind this is not a specific person, but a massive organization."

Natsumi Eri presented her viewpoint, glancing at Principal Moth, who nodded and then shook his head. She said:

"Xia You, your guess makes a lot of sense, but the matter of this mastermind should be put on the back burner. Not long ago, Lord Tianyuan gave us some important information: the strongest demon from a thousand years ago, Yamata no Orochi, has been successfully resurrected."

Hearing the first half of the sentence, Xia Youhui was still somewhat unconvinced. What did she mean by saying that finding the mastermind behind the disaster should be a secondary priority? Such a major disaster not only resulted in the loss of property and lives, but it also destroyed the very means of livelihood for countless people.

When she heard the second half of the sentence, that the strongest monster from a thousand years ago, Yamata no Orochi, had been successfully resurrected, Natsume Eri was completely stunned.

What is Yamata no Orochi? In the world of sorcery, it is a unique, calamity-level cursed spirit. Even during the height of curses a thousand years ago, it was an existence that no family or sorcerer could deal with.

From the perspective of ordinary people, the Yamata no Orochi is not just a natural disaster; it is a cultural symbol, an existence that is so distant that it can be discussed freely. But now, such an existence has been resurrected.

Natsumi Eri swallowed hard, looking at Principal Night Moth, her tone even softer:

"Principal Moth, are you kidding me? Mythological figures are all fictional; how could they possibly exist in reality?"

No, I'm not joking.

Principal Moth left no room for Natsume Eri's fantasies; he stated bluntly:

"The Yamata no Orochi is real. A thousand years ago, he was killed by the [Buddha's Demon], who left behind the top-grade cursed artifact, the Ama no Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi. It was then used by someone with ulterior motives to revive the Yamata no Orochi."

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Eri gasped. She looked at Gojo Satoru, hoping to see a reassuring smile on her face, but even Gojo Satoru's face showed a hint of seriousness.

"Satoru?"

Natsumi Eri looked slightly worried. She tugged at Gojo Satoru's sleeve, and Gojo Satoru finally snapped out of her serious expression and put on a smile again.

She looked at Xia Youhui and patted her chest, indicating:

"It's just the Yamata no Orochi, right? If that [Buddha's Demon] could kill it, then I can kill it too. Don't forget, I'm the strongest."

When Gojo Satoru said this, his confidence was almost overflowing, but Natsume Eri keenly sensed a hint of unease. After all, no one could guarantee victory when facing an unknown and powerful enemy.

"So, that's why I've gathered you all here."

Principal Moth then spoke, his gaze sweeping over Gojo Satoru and Shika Shionichi, and said:

"One is the strongest in modern times, and the other was the strongest four hundred years ago. If they join forces, how can they not defeat the Yamata no Orochi?"

Seeing that Principal Moth had overlooked her, Natsumi Eri frowned slightly and raised her hand, saying:

"Principal, what about me? I'm very strong too."

Principal Moth looked at Natsuyu Eri. Although it was said that someone was going to hurt her, he still reminded her to prevent her from losing her life in vain.

"Xia You, this is no ordinary battle. In this battle, ordinary special-grade soldiers will only be a hindrance to them by five. In this level of battle, more people are not necessarily better."

Besides, your spirit reserves haven't fully recovered to their peak yet, have they? It's strange, really. Your spirit reserves mysteriously disappeared back then, and the reason hasn't been found to this day. It's really puzzling..."

Listening to Principal Nightmoth's words, Natsumi Eri knew very well that he was doing it for her own good. If it were the Natsumi Eri of the past, she might have obediently listened, but now, Natsumi Eri crossed her arms and said:

“Principal, the shortage of spirit beasts is a thing of the past. I have now subdued a total of 3.7 million spirit beasts.”

Principal Moth wanted to offer some advice, but after hearing Natsumi Eri say "three million seven hundred thousand" instead of "three hundred and seventy," he froze on the spot, unable to recover for a long time.

After finally regaining his senses, he stared at the smug Natsumi Eri and said incredulously:

"What did you say? Three million seven hundred thousand? Are you sure there's a ten thousand at the end? Did you not misread it?"

"of course."

Seeing the shock on Principal Nightmoth's face, Natsumi Eri was overjoyed. Although she became stronger to catch up with Gojo Satoru and not hold him back, it was quite satisfying to personally shatter someone else's worldview.

Of course, it's not surprising that Principal Nightmoth's performance was too exaggerated. You have to know that at her peak, Natsuyou Eri only had two thousand cursed spirits. What level is two thousand cursed spirits? It's the level that can cause a hundred ghosts to parade at night.

And what about 3.7 million cursed spirits? If Natsumi Eri were willing, she could unleash a catastrophe that would cover the entire country of Japan, a power far exceeding that of a special-grade spirit.

After Principal Nightmoth recovered from his shock, his gaze towards Natsumi Eri was already filled with rage. Natsumi Eri was prepared for Principal Nightmoth to grant her permission to participate in this epic battle, but Principal Nightmoth's voice was so firm:

“Three million seven hundred thousand cursed spirits are indeed powerful, but even so, you cannot directly participate in this battle; at most, you can only provide support from the sidelines.”

Upon hearing this, Xia Youhui was stunned, followed by extreme incomprehension:

"Why? My combat power has caught up with Gono's, why won't you let me fight alongside her? I'm clearly strong enough already."

Chapter 134: Unknown Techniques

Faced with Natsumi Eri's questioning, Principal Nightmo shook her head and sighed:

"Do you know? As a special-grade mage, my combat strength is only at the first level. The reason I was rated as special-grade is because I can mass-produce cursed corpses. It is this ability that makes me a threat to a country, which is why I was rated as special-grade."

You're the same. Even if you possess a massive number of cursed spirits and excellent offensive and offensive methods, if the enemy seizes an opening, you will truly die in this battle.

Principal Nightmoth's words struck Natsumi Eri's heart like a heavy hammer. She stared blankly at Principal Nightmoth, knowing that these words were not empty talk. If she insisted on participating in this battle, it would be tantamount to courting death.

Even after learning the truth, Natsumi Eri couldn't help but clench her fists. She had tried so hard, tried so hard to catch up with Gojo Satoru, but in the end, she couldn't even fight alongside Gojo Satoru.

She took a deep breath, her shoulders heaving with the effort. Just when she thought she was about to be abandoned by Gojo Satoru again, a warm hand touched her shoulder. Looking up, she saw it was Gojo Satoru.

Gojo Satoru wore a reassuring smile and said in a very soft voice:

"You have more important things to do than fighting, there's no need to be fixated on this."

Upon hearing this, Natsumi Eri felt as if a faint halo had appeared behind Gojo Satoru. She closed her eyes and met those beautiful azure eyes, and the resentment and sorrow in her heart were instantly dispelled.

She suddenly hugged Gojo Satoru tightly, pursed her lips, as if she had made a tremendous decision:

"I'll always be watching over you, Gono..."

Gojo Satoru was taken aback by the sudden hug, but she did not refuse and quietly enjoyed her best friend's embrace.

Lu Ziyun, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips when he saw the two of them being so affectionate. He didn't understand what they were doing. They were talking, but why were they suddenly hugging each other?

Just as he impatiently tapped the iron rod with his index finger, producing a dull sound, Principal Moth, perhaps noticing his awkwardness, stepped forward and opened his arms, indicating:

Do you need a hug?

"Are you pitying me?"

Lu Ziyun glanced at him, her tone as cold as ice. In his eyes, embracing was nothing short of a sign of weakness. He had abandoned all his weaknesses four hundred years ago, and now he was a madman who devoted himself entirely to the battle.

Principal Night Moth didn't care about any of that. He completely ignored Lu Ziyun's wishes and forcibly hugged him.

This sudden action made Lu Ziyun tremble. Just as she was about to unleash her lightning spell to blast Principal Night Moth away, she heard Principal Night Moth say:

"Were you surprised when I hugged you? You haven't relaxed in a long time, have you?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Ziyun's about-to-explode lightning spell softened. He did not answer the question, nor did he break free from the embrace.

From birth, Lu Ziyun has been constantly losing. At first, he was afraid of losing, and after he had nothing left, he was afraid of gaining. He was afraid of losing again after gaining.

So he locked his heart away and threw himself into various battles. Only fighting could make him feel alive and realize the value of his life.

During that embrace, Lu Ziyun thought about many things. His tense nerves relaxed for a moment, then tightened again. He pushed Principal Night Moth away without saying a word.

Because she was afraid of losing it, Lu Ziyun chose to never have it...

After the minor incident, Principal Yamata no Orochi began to release information about it, saying:

"Regarding the Yamata no Orochi, the known physical characteristics are white hair and red eyes, a height of about 1.9 meters, a sun-shaped curse mark on its chest, and shortly after its appearance, it took control of the entire Panxing Sect and used the Panxing Sect to collect information on all cursed spirits and sorcerers."

According to Lord Tianyuan, the purpose of Orochi's information gathering is to kill all Special Grade and First Grade sorcerers and cursed spirits, thus restoring balance to the world.

"Kill all the Special Grade and First Grade enemies? That's incredibly arrogant!"

After listening to Principal Yamo's words, Gojo Satoru raised an eyebrow. After Principal Yamo's description, she understood that Yamata no Orochi was the guy who called himself Orochi.

During that brief encounter, she could sense the immense magical power within the Yamata no Orochi, but she could balance the difference in the total amount of magical power using her Six-Eyed Eyes' precise control over it. For her, the most decisive factor in determining the outcome was:

"What about the technique? I met Orochi once before. He called himself Orochi and had a teleportation-like ability. I don't understand his technique. Do you have any information about it?"

Upon hearing this, although Principal Yagami really wanted to answer Gojo Satoru's question, reality was too cruel:

"I'm sorry, but there is no information about the techniques of Orochi, either from his past battle footage or from the information provided by Lord Tengen."

However, it is certain that Yamata no Orochi possesses the ability to teleport, and its main attack method is to release purple-black beams of light to strike enemies.

In addition, he also possesses an attack that can teleport the target, but so far, the teleported target has never reappeared, most likely already dead.

Upon hearing this, the entire room fell silent. Based on the available information, Orochi possesses an unknown and extremely powerful technique, making him virtually invincible in terms of mobility and attack power. He is an extremely formidable enemy.

The most terrifying thing is that Gojo Satoru, as the strongest in the modern era, usually doesn't hide information about his techniques. As long as you investigate, you can find out the general idea. Therefore, Orochi most likely already knows about Gojo Satoru's techniques.

In this situation, Gojo Satoru's chances of winning have dwindled even further... No, there's still a chance for things to turn around.

Gojo Satoru's mind raced, and he quickly devised a method to extract information about the Yamata no Orochi's techniques. He looked at Shika Shionichi and said:

"As a sorcerer from four hundred years ago, there are very few records of your spells in modern times. To go into more detail, it is even more difficult to explore them."

Therefore, I need you to lead the charge. Neither you nor Orochi know the details of their techniques, so the battle will not end quickly. When the time comes, I need you to probe Orochi's techniques before I step in to fight him..."

Upon hearing this plan, Principal Moth's eyes lit up, and he thought the method was very feasible. So he asked Lu Ziyun for her opinion.

Lu Ziyun naturally had no objections, however, Principal Ye'e seemed to suddenly remember something and said to Gojo Satoru:

"Five points, there's something you need to know: Lu Ziyun—he doesn't have a domain."

Upon hearing this, Gojo Satoru was taken aback. He looked at Shiro Shionichi, his mind racing for a moment before he blurted out:

"You don't have a domain? Really? Now I seriously doubt that your title of the strongest sorcerer in the Edo period is self-proclaimed."

Chapter 135: Like a Fly

Shiki Yun remained unperturbed by Gojo Satoru's questioning, and simply spoke calmly:

“A true strongman doesn’t need a domain. At my speed, he doesn’t have time to deploy a domain.”

"really?"
