Inuyasha: A Different Kind of Dog General

The mountain wind swept across the empty cliff, and the afterimage of the silver hair dissipated like smoke, leaving only a few fallen leaves swirling and drifting towards Yunzhou.

........................

The death of Taotie, one of the four evil beasts, may be taken lightly by the Lord of the Royal Court, but it has caused a huge wave in the hearts of the people of Dongyun.

To the north of Yunzhou, under the clear blue sky, the Sea of ​​Eternal Life is like a huge sapphire, with layers of glass-like ripples on the sea surface, reflecting the tiny diamond light.

Qiongqi stood quietly on the top of the cliff, the ferocious sharp corners in his purple hair reflected the sunlight, and the strange blue and purple lines on his face glowed slightly.

Her broad white wings were half-spread, and now they felt as heavy as if they were filled with lead.

The sea breeze lifted Qiongqi's scarlet robe, and the purple silk around his waist twisted and fluttered like a living thing.

The rocks beneath my bare feet were being eroded by an invisible demonic force, slowly crystallizing into amethyst, with tiny crystal fragments peeling off with the sound of the waves.

"Taowu, Taotie is dead. Among the top fighters of Dongyun, only Hun Dun and I are left. It's Miss Lu and Master Qilinmaru."

"The mission of uniting all forces hasn't been completed yet, and Dongyun has already suffered a fatal blow. Why did Taotie, this foolish and reckless man, have to die at this critical moment?"

"I, Dongyun, am I really beyond redemption?"

Qiongqi analyzed the current situation and felt increasingly heavy in his heart.

The whispers in his mouth shattered in the wind, and the sea cliff under his feet had unknowingly transformed into a towering amethyst pillar.

The salty sea breeze whimpered as it passed by, and countless cracks suddenly appeared on the surface of the amethyst.

Like a broken mirror, it reflected Qiongqi's struggling face.

The entire cliff collapsed with a teeth-grinding sound, like a falling purple meteor shower, smashing into the sea a hundred meters away and creating waves a hundred meters high.

The polluted seawater instantly turned into a sticky purple paste, and fish within a radius of ten miles floated to the surface with their white bellies turned up.

The extremely poisonous purple slurry spread across the sea like a living thing, but when it was about to pollute the farther sea area, a jade-like green light curtain suddenly rose from the seabed, and the sticky purple slurry melted away one by one like thin snow under the scorching sun.

Qiongqi flapped its wings and flew into the sky, its snow-white wings fully stretched out in the blue sky, casting a huge shadow.

"The new Mermaid Queen, Dongyun, awaits your reply!"

Qiongqi lowered his eyes and looked coldly at the mermaid's phantom in the purifying divine light, then flapped his wings and flew away.

These days, her situation is quite similar to Taotie's. The eight hundred nuns don't want to see her at all and have always asked the mermaid queen to come forward.

Now that the situation has changed, Qiongqi is also worried about being surrounded and killed by the two, so he leaves decisively.

The demonic power dragged a purple-black trail thousands of feet long behind it, as if tearing a festering wound in the sky.

She was going to the open sea to look for Chaos. If the previous information was correct, Dongyun still had the capital to resist the royal court.

Otherwise, Qiongqi has no intention of dying with Qilinmaru.

There is always a place for you in the vast universe.

"Qiongqi has left."

On the dark blue seabed, a dreamy mermaid girl stands on the back of the Eternal Night Whale.

The girl's slender fingertips were slowly loosening from the magic bell. The bell trembled with the waves, making an ethereal and clear sound, like the most secret whispers of the deep sea.

The antler crown on the forehead is inlaid with deep sea sapphire, and each branch is flowing with a bright halo, as if condensing the glimmer of the entire starry sky into it.

The wide white robe is woven with thousand-year-old jellyfish silk, stretching like a cloud in the water. The cuffs and lapels are trimmed with blue and red wave patterns, as if there is always an endless tide surging.

The layered skirt blooms like a deep-sea rose, and the twelve layers of pink gauze are dotted with round pearls, which ripple like the Milky Way with her every subtle movement.

Her skin had the luster of fresh snow, emitting a soft glow in the dark seabed.

The cinnabar pattern between the eyebrows was as bright as blood coral, making the pair of glass-like blue-purple vertical pupils look even more ethereal and otherworldly.

The low cry of the Eternal Night Whale echoed in the dark seabed, and the sound waves turned into clearly visible circles of water ripples that spread out in all directions.

The voice seemed to have traveled through eternity, carrying with it an indescribable sadness.

The new queen of the mermaid tribe lowered her eyes, her silver hair drifting gently in the ocean current, like the shattered traces of moonlight penetrating the sea.

In her eyes, she reflected the old scar that ran across the back of the Eternal Night Whale.

The shocking scar seemed to have almost cut the Eternal Night Whale in half. One can imagine how dangerous and... hateful the battle was at that time!

"One of my mother's murderers actually dared to seek the Sea of ​​Eternal Life!"

"Too deceiving!"

Jing Xi Qianji's voice was icy cold, and every word seemed to be condensed with ice that had not melted for thousands of years.

Her slender fingers clenched unconsciously, her nails digging deep into her palms.

Long-lost memories came to her mind——

The image of the mother becomes clearer and clearer in the long river of memory: she is the "Queen of Silver Armor" praised by the ocean, who once cut through the waves with her trident and commanded the tides with her war songs.

Her scales glowed like moonlight in the morning light, and every swing of her spear was accompanied by the surrender of huge waves.

The entire sea trembled under her feet, and even the most ferocious sea beasts would lower their ferocious heads when she passed by.

But this glory was forever frozen in that bloody dusk.

That day, where the sea and the sky met, a ship with carved beams and painted rafters came breaking through the waves.

The red lacquered and gold-decorated hull glowed luxuriously under the gloomy sky, and the mast was as straight as a sword, piercing through the rolling clouds, as if to split the chaotic world in two.

The raging tide surged up from the abyss, and the inky waves, carrying tremendous force, crashed into the rugged rocks again and again.

Where the waves splashed, countless bones and blood foam were floating in the whirlpool.

The fierce wind tore at the sea surface, whipping the salty rain curtain into flying silver needles, and her mother, the mermaid queen with shining scales who ruled the surrounding seas, was lying in the chaotic raging waves, her blood staining the ocean!

As the last sword light fell to slay the violent storm, the queen's crown inlaid with pearls fell into the abyss, and the entire sea was filled with the dying wail of the Eternal Night Whale!

After that, Yaobikuni, who claimed that she had gained immortality by consuming mermaid flesh, visited the Sea of ​​Eternal Life.

This woman, who is forever in her prime, holds a magical weapon in her hand and brings a glimmer of hope to the precarious mermaid tribe.

"Qianji!"

A familiar voice brought her back from her thoughts. Qianji turned her head slightly and saw a beautiful woman walking slowly from the intersection of light and shadow in the deep sea.

The woman had picturesque eyebrows and eyes like autumn water. There was a faint blush at the corners of her eyes, which made her eyes look even more gentle.

Under her long hair like a waterfall, a plain white dress fits her graceful and slender figure.

The smiling corners of her lips and the gentle gaze seemed to make the surrounding sea water warm and tranquil because of her arrival.

"Sister Bhikkhuni!"

The ice in Qianji's eyes gradually melted away, turning into two trembling pools of autumn water.

The Eternal Night Whale let out a long cry and swam towards the nun, carrying its master.

The nun landed lightly on the broad back of the Eternal Night Whale and reached out to gently stroke Qianji's cheek, her fingertips carrying a reassuring warmth.

"Thinking about those things again?" Her voice was like the gentlest current in the deep sea, gently brushing Qianji's heart.

Qianji lowered her eyes, her long eyelashes casting a faint shadow on her face, "Sister, I want to kill Qiongqi!"

The Eternal Night Whale seemed to sense its master's emotional fluctuations and let out a low whimper.

The nun patted the whale's back to comfort it, a faint glow emanating from her fingertips.

"I understand your hatred."

The nun sighed softly and held Qianji in her arms to comfort her, "But don't worry."

"Dongyun stands in the way of the royal court's unification of the world and will definitely be destroyed by the royal court. The death of Taotie yesterday was King Douya's death warrant for Qilinmaru."

Qianji raised her head suddenly, a flicker of resentment in her blue-purple eyes, "I know that sister wants us to watch Dongyun go to destruction."

"But I want to avenge my mother with my own hands. Even if I can't kill Qilin Wan, killing Qiongqi who hurt my mother will be enough to relieve the hatred in my heart!"

"Sister Bhikkhuni, help me!"

The nun fell silent, gazing at Qianji in her arms.

The little girl who used to cry in his arms has now grown into a mermaid queen who controls the sea with murderous intent between her brows.

"Everything I have started with mermaids, and will end with mermaids."

The nun said slowly, "I will never forget what I promised you."

"With the combined efforts of the two of us, we might be able to kill Qiongqi in this vast ocean, but have you ever thought about—"

Her voice was as solemn as if sinking into the deep sea. "When Kirinmaru's ship once again shatters the tranquility of the Sea of ​​Eternal Life, when his demonic sword slashes through the coral palace... can the mermaids withstand a second catastrophic disaster?"

"Are you sure you're ready?"

The nun's words peeled away reality, causing Qianji to clench her fists, her nails digging deep into her palms, and pearl-like beads of blood seeping into the sea water.

That was Kirinmaru's ship, and it came to the land of East Island for the first time.

Because his mother refused to submit, Kirinmaru brought the once prosperous mermaid tribe to the brink of destruction, earning himself a reputation for evil.

Regardless of success or failure this time, can the mermaids withstand the thundering wrath of Qilin Wan after their revenge on Qiongqi?

Seeing the silent Qianji, the nun gently stroked her back.

"You are the queen of the mermaids. You cannot let your emotions affect the people of your clan. You want to kill Qiongqi and make Qilinwan afraid, unless..."

Qianji knew what the nun had left unfinished - to join the royal court!

But my mother died because she was not afraid of power, but I was born because of power. Isn’t that a betrayal to my mother’s death?

(If this child is not properly persuaded, he will go down a dead end.)

The nun sighed inwardly.

At the same time, they also discovered that the Eternal Night Whale did not return to the underwater palace, but swam in the direction where Qiongqi left with them - it was obvious that it still had the intention to attack and kill Qiongqi.

(She's like a stubborn donkey... But, it's precisely because of this that she's been able to inherit the power of the previous queen.)

The nun also pretended not to know and said, "There are also merpeople, a branch of the mermaids, living in the royal court. I have never heard of King Douya being tyrannical and enslaving his people."

"There, humans and demons coexist, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and even a holy priestess can rise to high positions and wield judicial power."

"Tougaou and Kirinmaru are different after all, and Wangting and Dongyun are worlds apart."

The clever and intelligent Qianji naturally understood the deep meaning of the nun's words.

She whispered, "Sister, what you're saying is... if the mermaids submit to the royal court, they'll actually have a better life?"
