My wife's name is Platycodon

She lowered her head, at a loss for a moment, clenched her fists, her nails piercing into her palms, and knelt in front of the Hades Shura, motionless.

Three seconds later, Sangu's difficult voice rang out: "Don't you want to take revenge on Naraku?"

Hades Shura asked back: "So can you find Naraku now?"

Although he is not as smart as Kikyo, he is very good at judging people.

He knew something about Naraku. Once, Naraku summoned monsters to surround and kill him, even at the cost of exposing his own aura, but in the end he was still killed by him. Since then, he has never seen Naraku again, and he has never even encountered a similar aura a second time, for fear of exposing himself.

That thing is very cunning, likes to use conspiracies and tricks, and can hide its breath. It is better at digging holes than foxes and rabbits. It even took control of an entire city without anyone noticing, sending demon hunters to their deaths while it steals back home.

Only Kikyo can keep up with his pace, and because he can see through the essence, Naraku cannot deceive him, but that's just a lie.

He has a very accurate understanding of himself, has a simple personality, hates complicated things, is a straightforward person, and has never thought of playing dirty with Naraku.

Besides, since Kikyo is staying in Maple Village now, he has no interest in traveling around the world with Coral.

Because Coral couldn't find Naraku either, and lacked accurate means of searching for the enemy, the tracking skills that a demon hunter relied on for survival were ineffective on Naraku's side - Naraku was not an ordinary monster, so she planned to use a stupid method and ride on Mica to conduct a carpet search.

Not mentioning efficiency, because it was too stupid, the Asura of the Underworld saw through it and rejected it directly.

Even Kikyo couldn't find Naraku, so how could Coral possibly do it, unless she mobilized all the mages and priests to dig deep into the ground.

Suddenly, Coral's eyes lit up, and she thought of the answer to the question: "Where is the Four Souls Jade? Naraku must be collecting the Four Souls fragments. As long as we are looking for them, we will definitely meet them!"

Hades Shura turned and left, having nothing to say to this silly girl.

It was because of her identity as a demon hunter that she rarely said a word. If she were an ordinary civilian, she would lose if she answered him.

Naraku died at his hands twice, and once his soul was purified by Kikyo. During that time, he was also attacked by Inuyasha and his crew, but Naraku still lived safely and soundly.

This bastard has too many lives. He is a collection of many monsters. As long as there are fragments of his body left in the world, he will not be killed. Even if Naraku's soul is completely purified, that evil body can still give birth to other consciousnesses.

Kikyo could see it, but he was not a fool. Moreover, Naraku was able to cast the Lower Wind Hole Curse on Miroku's grandfather and summon poisonous insects, which meant that he had researched other aspects as well and was by no means comparable to the stupid normal monsters - he did not target Inuyasha because he was a half-demon.

If he had also gone to collect the Four Souls Jewel, Naraku would not have shown up at all. The lifespan of monsters is much longer than that of humans. He doesn't know how long he can live now, but Naraku will definitely live longer than him.

There is only a thousand days to steal, but no thousand days to guard against thieves. Naraku was really scared. He didn't dare to show up after recovering from his injuries. That was very troublesome.

The Asura of the Underworld is not interested in a tug-of-war over lifespan.

Although he could grow to the point where he could destroy all life on the surface of the earth and then easily kill Naraku, he did not want to drag on this feud for too long. It would be absurd to delay it for decades.

Coral found his attitude strange, but Hades Shura had already walked away. She stretched out her hand, but for no better reason, she could only watch Hades Shura return to the house.

After he left, only Kikyo was standing in front of Coral.

The witch has black hair draped over her shoulders, and she looks elegant and cool, with a sacred and inviolable temperament, as she stares at Coral.

Coral recognized her, and knew she was the shrine maiden who saved the village. She stood up, looking dejected: "Kikyo shrine maiden..."

She failed and was at a loss, feeling that she could do nothing and feeling deeply guilty towards her dead father and companions.

Kikyo nodded. She had a quiet personality and was not aggressive. Even though she had been ignored for a long time, she still did not feel angry.

She spoke softly, comforting Shanhu: "Don't feel lost. Mingfu Shura is just that kind of person. He never cares about Naraku. He is very confident in the power he possesses. He doesn't need to deliberately look for Naraku, and he is indifferent to any disasters caused by Naraku - because when Naraku dares to confidently stand in front of Mingfu Shura, that will be the time for him to die."

"I just can't let go of the pain Naraku has inflicted on me."

Kikyo sighed softly. She had the obligation to guide the world and help people resolve their troubles, and she felt that she could not just let it go now.

Her fingers were as slender as jade and touched Coral's forehead. A slight spiritual power spread over and covered Coral's spirit.

Soon, the piercing pain she felt was felt by her. Scenes flashed through her mind, which were the source of the pain. The clearest one was the young face of a boy...

"I see, you can't get over the fact that your brother killed his companions!"

Kikyo withdrew her fingers and Coral fell into confusion. It seemed that a gentle power had purified her whole body in an instant, but she had never practiced, so she didn't know what was going on.

Kikyo said in a sad tone: "Go find Inuyasha and the others. You met them in Naraku Castle. Following them will heal your spiritual trauma and relieve your pain."

She pointed in the direction of Maple Village, feeling that this was fate's pull.

Sango came here not because of Hades Shura, but because of Inuyasha and the others - Kagome's heart is clear, Miroku is considerate, Inuyasha is childish but also considerate of other people's emotions, and the little fox balances the atmosphere. Sango joining them is the right choice.

She was not suitable to follow Hades Shura. Even if she had the perseverance, Hades Shura was unwilling to accept her unless Kagome came, but the child had already been sent away by her.

Upon hearing this, Coral was a little hesitant. She had heard that in the battle that night, Hades Shura killed hundreds of monsters with one punch, so she believed very much in Hades Shura's power. She felt that this was the quickest way to help her get revenge, and she should not give up following him easily.

Even if he is unwilling at first, as long as he persists, he will definitely gain recognition.

Kikyo smiled and said, "Are you doubting what I said?"

Coral woke up in shock and quickly explained that Kikyo was a highly respected priestess. Her words were the golden rule fifty years ago and are still authoritative now.

Moreover, she did not reject the girl who saved her from Naraku that day, whose name seemed to be Kagome Higurashi.

Kikyo's words were full of unquestionable tone: "Then go ahead, they will welcome you very much, and your strength will be integrated into the team and you will become a part of it."

Coral took a deep breath, bowed deeply to Kikyo, then jumped on Mica and flew quickly towards Maple Village.

Kikyo just watched her leave.

"Naraku, the Hades Shura makes you dare not act rashly, but when facing Inuyasha, you will bare your fangs. You and Inuyasha will continue to fight like this."

"I have a feeling that when I completely purify the heart of Hades Shura, when his soul finds true peace, he will undergo a complete transformation. The suppressed soul in his body and the demonic power he gained from bathing in demon blood will give you a big surprise by then."

"Just wait, just wait, the fate of the Four Souls Jade is about to come to an end."

Chapter 65: Empty Heart

Naraku City!

Dark clouds blocked the sky, and the bright light of the moon was weakened when it passed through the clouds. It was originally like a silver plate in ancient poetry, but now only a vague outline could be seen. The moon was hazy, and at first glance, there was a sense of expired horror.

Looking down, an uninhabited city stood on the earth, looking extremely abrupt, because it was surrounded by uncultivated wasteland and no trace of a settlement could be seen.

Accompanied by gusts of cold wind, the wind whistled through the corridors of the mansion, adding a bit of chilliness.

A tight barrier was set up outside the city, and it was guarded 24 hours a day to lock in the evil spirits and demons in the city, giving Kikyo and Hades Shura no chance to notice.

Naraku hid here to recuperate.

The real Naraku Castle was destroyed by Inuyasha, and 90% of its residents were devoured by monsters, turning it into a deserted ghost town with no one caring about it.

The city now is nothing more than a building that Naraku reassembled with magic. It is made of sand and stones that can be found everywhere and can be gathered or dispersed.

Many years ago, he had taken a fancy to Naraku Castle, and thought that this city had an inextricable connection with himself, so he swallowed up the newly born young lord of Naraku Castle, Yin Dao, and disguised himself as him, living in the world as Yin Dao. Twenty years passed in a flash, and while the identity of Yin Dao provided many conveniences, with Yin Dao's body as the basis, the appearance he eventually grew into was surprisingly not bad.

In the fifty years after Kikyo's death, he changed many bodies and hid in the world with different identities, but he finally chose the appearance of Yin Dao.

His body was on both sides, so Naraku chose to forget his ugly appearance in the past and regarded Yin Dao's appearance as his own.

Naraku is very disgusted with Onigumo, thinking that the despicable, dirty and disgusting robber is not worthy of being his true self.

The only thing left of Naraku's head is hidden in a room in the castle.

He is thinking.

He summoned the most powerful poisonous insect from hell, and used it as his eyes and ears to gather information!

Saitetsukatsu is also a part of his body, so Naraku can easily "see" Kikyo's current situation.

But he was very confused.

"The Maple Village shrine has reappeared, Kikyo, are you going to continue to fulfill your obligations in your lifetime?"

Naraku couldn't help but think so, but now the Four Souls Jade is not complete, and Kikyo has no reason to do this.

Kagome's arrow shattered the Shikon Jewel, splitting it into more than sixty pieces, and he found more than twenty of them, accounting for one-third of the mass, which was more than Inuyasha's.

But the fragments alone should not be enough to suppress them with the power of the shrine.

However, if there is a shrine, Saitase cannot move forward, otherwise he will be purified by the power of the shrine and will alarm Kikyo.

Does that woman intend to stay in the shrine forever?

Then I won't be able to see her...

Naraku's eyes were deep and he couldn't help but recall the past.

In the past, Kikyo was so powerful that the Four Soul Jade did not dare to cause trouble in front of her. Even the evil soul born from the jade, Qu Ling, had to hide its traces.

But she eventually revealed her weakness and fell deeply in love. Her spiritual power was reduced to one tenth of what it was, and she lost her original detached mentality, giving him the opportunity to act.

So he staged a good drama himself. First, he disguised himself as Inuyasha to deceive Kikyo and cause her fatal injury. Then he tricked Inuyasha into taking away the Shikon Jewel, causing the two to kill each other. If Kikyo died as a result, the Shikon Jewel would be contaminated with the blood of hatred and resentment of the priestess guarding the jade, and would become even more filthy and powerful, and its power would be increased to an unprecedented level.

But he had anticipated the beginning and the process, and Kikyo did not notice anything wrong from beginning to end.

But the only thing that no one could guess was the ending. Knowing that Inuyasha betrayed her, killed her, and even made remarks about massacring the entire village, the woman, even with all her hatred for Inuyasha, still did not choose to kill him. Instead, she sealed him and took the Shikon Jewel to the underworld.

He was also present when Kikyo was cremated. Perhaps because his conspiracy had failed, he felt empty at that time.

That's why he thought, why didn't Kikyo kill Inuyasha, immerse her soul in darkness, and throw herself into his arms...

He had misjudged Kikyo. Death and betrayal did not make her degenerate. Instead, she seemed even more noble, just like a lotus blooming in the mud.

Due to the disappearance of the Shikon Jewel and Kikyo's death, Naraku has had no motivation for the past fifty years and has been enjoying the most empty pleasure in the world.

He plays with people's hearts. Maitreya's grandfather was named Mibao. After Kikyo's death, he accidentally discovered his true identity and has been hunting him down. Later, Naraku transformed himself into a beautiful woman and attracted Mibao, but at the critical moment, he did not kill him. Instead, he cast the Wind Hole Curse on him.

This is a curse from the underworld that can be passed on to future generations, making it impossible for Maitreya's lineage to live in peace from now on, because as long as they cannot kill themselves, the wind hole on their right hand will expand as they grow until they swallow themselves up.

But he just did it casually, just to see the descendants of Mi Bao become helpless as death gradually approaches, and finally become panic-stricken and crazy.

However, to Naraku's regret, neither Yabao nor his son showed any ugly behavior when facing death, which made Naraku feel a little disappointed.

However, he could also understand that most of the respected wizards were like this before they died, including Kikyo.

In addition, he also likes to stifle geniuses and witness the withering and death of strong people who have not yet grown up.

In recent years, there have been only two failures.

One incident happened fifteen years ago. He heard that there was a little witch who possessed spiritual power comparable to Kikyo. She showed her talent at a young age and possessed very strong spiritual power. Although she was still a child, she could cast a barrier that could resist all attacks and even be immune to his miasma.

After being hit by her spiritual power once, Naraku's incarnation was defeated.

The second time was when the Asura from the Underworld emerged out of nowhere and possessed great power in a short period of time. He observed in secret for a long time and felt that this was an alien that absorbed the power of the creatures it killed to become stronger, so he planned to get rid of it... You all know what happened next, so I will not say more.

However, Naraku never cared about these two people. He just did it casually and did not take it seriously at all.

He only does things that harm others and benefit himself because he wants to have fun in his free time.

According to his observation, although the young miko fifteen years ago had power comparable to Kikyo, she did not have Kikyo's strong and tenacious mind. Even if her spiritual power was extremely high, she could not have any effect on him...

The Asuras of the Underworld are bloodthirsty by nature. The more they kill, the stronger they become. In the future, they will be consumed by their own desires and soon become real Asuras from the Underworld.

What does all this have to do with him?

He hid in dark corners and in Naraku Castle, just watching this boring world and looking for fun everywhere.

But this world without the Four Souls Jewel is really boring... and there is no Kikyo either...

So he was lonely for fifty years.

While Inuyasha was sleeping in front of the sacred tree, Naraku, who was born out of desire for the Shikon Jewel, actually lost his future goals.

He is seriously injured now, which is equivalent to a fatal injury to the body for a human being - that is, only the head is left.

But it was insignificant to Naraku, he didn't even take it seriously, and his empty heart seemed to beat.

Logically speaking, he should stay at home and recuperate well.

But Naraku just wanted to spy on Kikyo's situation.

So, he heard the confession of Hades Shura to Kikyo and saw the battle between Hades Shura and Inuyasha. These two results were not beyond his expectations.

I also saw the demon exorcist named Coral come to Maple Village, stay at the shrine for a while, and then go straight towards Inuyasha.

"Is that demon slayer planning to seek revenge on me, Naraku?"

Naraku's head floated above the room, his long seaweed-like hair fluttering in the wind, his eyes closed, and he saw everything through Saimyouji's vision. Since he couldn't spy on the situation at the shrine, nor could he monitor it 24 hours a day, he only had a vague understanding of many things and could only rely on guesswork, but the result should not be wrong.

He would not be arrogant again this time and put himself in danger, but was prepared to plan everything carefully and calculate the situation.

"Sango has joined Inuyasha and his crew, and Inuyasha is collecting the Four Souls fragments. Kikyo, you hope that Inuyasha can hinder my efforts to collect the Four Souls Jewel, right?"

Because Kikyo absolutely knows her strong obsession with the Shikon Jade, no matter how badly she is injured, she will not stop longing for the jade.
