Question, Understand, Become a Holy Lord

"Ah? Oh, I'll let the Black Shadow Corps search for their location right away." The reunion of Kikyo and Inuyasha is inevitable, Baihen is very clear about this, not to mention that Inuyasha has long become Kikyo's heart knot.

The initial love between Kikyo and Inuyasha was the mutual attraction between two lonely souls. The half-demon who was not accepted by the monster society longed to become a real monster, while the shrine maiden who was exhausted physically and mentally due to taking on heavy responsibilities early on because of Jade longed to become an ordinary woman. The relationship between the two was more like a relationship of mutual comfort.

Inuyasha wanted to be with Kikyo, and his goal changed from becoming a "monster" to becoming a "human" and finding his own place in the human world; while Kikyo placed her own future on Inuyasha, wanting to put down her burden and become an ordinary "woman".

But when they came up with the idea of utilizing the power of the Four Souls Jade, tragedy was already doomed, or it could be said that it was because of the guidance of the jade that they met.

Chapter 25 Kikyo, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Naraku

Jade guided them to meet and fall in love, and also led to the birth of the monster Naraku.

But even if Naraku did not exist, Kikyo and Inuyasha's beautiful vision was ultimately just wishful thinking.

The half-demons who became humans and the shrine maidens who became ordinary people are destined to have no good ending in this chaotic era. After losing their power, the biggest possibility they face is being killed by monsters who come for revenge, or having to regain their power and end their peaceful life that is like a bubble.

Today, fifty years later, a deep rift has arisen between the two, which cannot be easily resolved by clearing up the misunderstanding and forgiving each other.

The two have embarked on their own paths. After experiencing Kikyo's "betrayal" and death, Inuyasha has more of his own views on feelings and no longer blindly follows the other person. Kagome, the sunny and cheerful girl, healed his inner scars. It is a relationship of redemption and being redeemed. He gave up the idea of becoming a human or a monster in order to seek recognition, but accepted the identity of a half-demon and fell in love with Kagome, who accepted and redeemed himself.

He still loves Kikyo, but this love is already mixed with too many colors.

As for Kikyo, in the original world line, when she gave the fragments of the Shikon Jewel to Naraku, it meant that she had let it go and gave up the idea of competing with Kagome for Inuyasha. Instead, she returned to her identity as a shrine maiden, wanting to purify the monsters, purify the Shikon Jewel, and thus redeem herself.

After Baihen's intervention, Kikyo, who accepted the power of the rat talisman to get rid of resentment, became more clear-headed.

The shadow of the past can no longer stop Inuyasha from moving forward. Kikyo understood this after meeting Kagome. Now it is she who needs to move towards the future, even though she may no longer have a future.

With their own ideas in mind, Baihen and Kikyo came to where Inuyasha and his friends were - the Demon Exorcist Village, which was also the birthplace of the Shikon Jade.

"Hey, everyone, long time no see." Bai Hen greeted everyone with a smile.

However, they didn't pay any attention to Bai Hen at all, and all their eyes were focused on the beautiful witch behind him.

"Kikyo...Kikyo, are you still alive?!" Inuyasha took a few steps forward excitedly.

"Wait! Inuyasha, the Kikyo you are talking about is the ghost that was resurrected by the demon girl Rito using clay, but if you look closely, she clearly exudes the breath of the living." Miroku, who was the calmest, discovered the problem, "Besides, why would Kikyo walk with the magician of Shendu?"

"But..." Inuyasha, whose brain was being held by Miroku, returned to the connected state. He pulled out Tessaiga and slashed at Baihen. "It's you again. You deceived us and stole the Four Souls Jewel. Now you dare to blaspheme Kikyo. This is unforgivable!"

"Inuyasha, I'm here to talk to you." Kikyo stepped forward to protect Baihen, and the spiritual power surging from her body neutralized Tessaiga's attack.

"With this spiritual power, are you the real Kikyo?" Inuyasha would not mistake Kikyo's spiritual power, but that was why Inuyasha was even more shocked.

"Come on, Inuyasha, let's talk alone." After saying that, Kikyo turned and walked to the other side of the village. Inuyasha, full of questions, followed Kikyo's footsteps stupidly.

"Then let's talk about it too. How many fragments of the Four Souls Jade have you collected?" Bai Hen turned his gaze back to Kagome and the others.

"Master Shendu, that Kikyo..." Although Kagome didn't finish her words, everyone present knew what she meant.

"That is the real Kikyo. As for the breath of the living, it is just an illusion. Although Kikyo does have some of the properties of the living now, it is far from being resurrected." Bai·Questions and Answers·Limited Time·Hen is online again.

"Then why... Kikyo is looking for Inuyasha?" Kagome didn't know how to hide her emotions at all, and one could see her anxiety and worry at a glance.

"Are you afraid that Kikyo will snatch Inuyasha away from you? Don't worry, although Inuyasha may still be indecisive, Kikyo has made up his mind to come to see Inuyasha. By the way, I also know about Naraku's affairs and have already told Kikyo about it." Speaking of Naraku, Baihen was looking forward to his appearance.

Although the plan to rely on the Four Souls Jade to enhance his abilities failed, Bai Hen was not idle during this period. After he cleared his mind, he made new breakthroughs in the application of the power of talismans. At the moment, he was itching to try his hand and hoped that a powerful monster would appear to give him a try.

Even after receiving Baihen's reply, Kagome was still worried and kept her eyes on the direction where Inuyasha and Kikyo disappeared.

Bai Hen turned around and started chatting with Maitreya and Shanhu. Although the two were wary of Bai Hen, they still managed to gain a lot of information from their random conversations.

Especially after learning that they missed Harumi's apprentice in their search for the truth behind the bandit's bizarre death, he couldn't help but say they were lucky.

"Lord Naraku, God has appeared where Inuyasha is, and Kikyo is with him." Kami no Kamiya reported what he saw to Naraku in a low voice.

"Hmph, he finally shows up? Together with Inuyasha, we can catch them all in one fell swoop." Naraku was still sneering after hearing the first half, but the name that came out of Kanna's mouth made him completely lose his composure.

"Wait, you mean Kikyo? Are you sure you didn't mistake Kagome?"

"Yes, Lord Naraku." The picture in the mirror switched, and Naraku recognized at a glance that the figure with Inuyasha was not Kagome, but Kikyo.

"Kikyo is still alive. The woman who was killed by me fifty years ago, the woman who was supposed to die with the Four Souls Jade, is still alive? On the surface, this is..." Looking at Kikyo in the mirror, Naraku didn't know what was going on in his heart. He just felt more and more annoyed.

"Kanna, Goshinki, go and find Kagura, then go together to kill Inuyasha and Kamitu, and bring back Kikyo and the Shikon Jewel!" Naraku sent out all the clones he could at the moment.

"Just leave it to me, Goshinki, Lord Naraku. I can handle them alone." The newly born Goshinki believed that he was much stronger than Kagura Kanna and took on the task confidently.

Kanna: “…”

"Don't make me say it a second time!" Naraku said in a cold voice.

"Yes." Seeing that Naraku was really angry, Wuxin Gui didn't dare to speak anymore.

"It's not enough." Naraku, who sent out all his clones, was not sure of victory, "Sangu, she can also be used."

Naraku decided to go to the scene in person with Amber to ensure his chances of winning.

Chapter 26 Naraku Attacks

"Can you take me to the place where the Four Soul Jade was born?" Bai Hen asked Shan Shan for consent, although he would sneak over even if she disagreed.

Sangu, who knew little about Baihen, cast an inquiring look at Miroku. Miroku was also a little troubled by this. Inuyasha was taken away by Kikyo, and Kagome's mind was all on Inuyasha. If Baihen really had any conspiracy, it would seem difficult for him alone to stop it.

"It's okay, Miss Coral, Master Shendu is someone you can trust." After a little thought, Maitreya decided to agree to Bai Hen's request.

Coming to the cave again, Miroku said to Baihen: "To be honest, I don't believe you, because no matter what the reason is, you are still pursuing the power of the Four Souls Jade. But I believe in the priestess Kikyo. Since she thinks you can be trusted, then I can only believe you."

"You still look reliable when you're not lustful, Master Maitreya." After saying that, Bai Hen strode towards the cave.

The cave was not big. After a few steps, Bai Hen saw the twisted statue composed of Tsurugi's body and countless monster corpses. He also saw for the first time the face of Tsurugi, the strongest shrine maiden in the true sense who appeared in "Inuyasha".

"Mitsuraya, is it really okay to let him in?" Qibao was the one who distrusted Bai Hen the most. After all, it was Bai Hen who almost took the Four Souls Jade from his hands.

"Since the barrier didn't reject him, it means he has no ill intentions. Let's just believe him. Compared to this, I'm more worried about the situation on Inuyasha's side." Miroku felt his head was overwhelmed. Troubles appeared one after another. Inuyasha preferred to use his hands rather than his brain. Although Kagome was smart, her mind was too simple. Shippo... However, Minaka could bring some useful information every time she appeared.

"If only Miss Coral could come with us, hehe." But he soon changed his mind.

buzzing...

"What's that sound? Zuimengsheng! Be careful, Naraku may be nearby." The familiar flapping sound of wings made Miroku feel a chill in his heart.

"Naraku!" xN.

"No, we have to find Inuyasha and Kikyo quickly!" Hearing Naraku's name, Kagome temporarily came out of her upset state.

"Sango, take Kagome and Shippo to meet Inuyasha and the others. I'll go in and call Master Shinto." Miroku made the decision immediately.

"Okay, Mica!" Mica quickly grew bigger in response to Coral's call, carried several people on its back, and flew to the other end of the village with its four claws stepping on flames.

"Master Maitreya, be careful."

Kikyo and Inuyasha, whose conversation was nearing its end, also noticed something unusual. A large amount of demonic energy appeared nearby and was heading towards them.

"Naraku again? You've come just in time!" Inuyasha was in a mixed mood and didn't know what to do. Naraku's appearance gave him a place to vent.

"Naraku..." Although she had heard this name from Shiroken and Inuyasha, it was beyond Kikyo's expectation to meet him so soon. "Could it be that he has been watching you all along?"

"Inuyasha--" Kagome's voice came from the sky, and then Kirara quickly landed.

"Kagome! Are you okay? Can you feel Naraku's breath?" Inuyasha first took a look at Kagome's condition, and then asked about Naraku's whereabouts.

"No, there are simply too many demonic auras, and it's difficult to sense Naraku's location." Kagome shook her head, while secretly observing Inuyasha and Kikyo. Seeing that nothing seemed to have happened between them, she felt relieved.

The first time Kikyo looked directly at Kagome, the girl who was the reincarnation of her own soul, she no longer felt the jealousy she had when they first met, nor the resentment she had felt after hearing the truth. Instead, she only felt a slight envy in her heart.

But now is not the time to have a heart-to-heart talk with her: "Where is the capital of God?" Bai Hen had already told his external identity before coming here, so naturally he would not let it slip in front of outsiders.

"Master Shendu said he wanted to go to the place where the Four Souls Jade was born. The incident happened suddenly, so Master Miroku asked us to come over first and go call him ourselves." Kagome always felt like she was facing an elder when facing Kikyo now, so she quickly told her what happened.

"Let's move towards them while fighting the enemy. We'll meet up as soon as possible. Here we go!" The fastest group of monsters have appeared in their sight. Although each one is not very powerful, their huge number makes them look very powerful.

"Inuyasha, you go ahead and lead the way." After giving the order to Inuyasha, Kikyo drew her bow and shot an arrow. The powerful demon-destroying arrow instantly cleared out a large number of monsters, and the subsequent monsters had to bypass the purified area.

"Hand over the Four Souls Jade!" More and more monsters emerged from all directions, even in the village, monsters broke out of the ground, but these weak monsters could not hinder Inuyasha, and Tessaiga's sharp blade cut them all off.

"Damn, with this number, have they gathered all the monsters nearby?" Although they were all small monsters, the endless sea of monsters gave people a huge sense of oppression. After all, even Tsuiko, the priestess who once suppressed an era, was exhausted by the huge number of small monsters and had to choose to die together.

"Flying Bones!" Coral also used her weapons to clean up the monsters that Inuyasha didn't have time to deal with.

Suddenly, Kikyo sensed something and looked up to the sky: "Be careful in the sky." At the same time, she opened a defensive barrier to resist the violent attack from the sky.

"As expected of Kikyo, how about this move? Dance of Wind Blades!" Kagura waved the fan of wind, and countless wind blades swept down from the sky, but they were all blocked by Kikyo's barrier.

"Tsk." Kagura was very unhappy to see that her signature attack couldn't even break Kikyo's defense.

"Sister, it turns out that you and Shenwu are just the foreshadowing before the birth of Wuxingui. It is enough to give one of them to me!" On the huge banana leaf, in addition to Kagura, Shenwu and Wuxingui were also on it.

After saying that, Wuxin Gui jumped directly down, aiming directly at Kikyo.

Although Kagura was unhappy with Wuxinki's attitude, she would not deliberately cause trouble for him at this time. She waved her right hand and released a wind blade to cover Wuxinki's landing.

Kikyo looked at the falling Wuxingui and quickly drew her bow. The light of the magic-breaking arrow rushed straight towards Wuxingui. Kagura's demonic wind was completely unable to stop it.

However, at the moment when Kikyo's arrow was shot, Wuxingui used a flexibility that was completely inconsistent with his huge body and used Kagura's wind blade to dodge to the side. Kikyo's arrow finally passed by it, and instead caused chaos in Kagura's flying demonic power.

Chapter 27: Four of the Three Traitors

However, in order to avoid Kikyo's demon-breaking arrow, Goshinki's landing point changed and became closer to Inuyasha's position.

Inuyasha saw the spider scar on Goshinki's body at a glance, and also smelled the scent of Naraku emanating from Goshinki's body. Without hesitation, he raised Tessaiga and chopped at Goshinki.

However, Goshinki, who had already seen through his attack intention, easily dodged it and instead swung his claws to hit Inuyasha.

"You thought this monster was so big, but you didn't expect it to be so agile, right." Wu Xingui was not in a hurry to chase it, and sneered at Inuyasha.

"What..." Inuyasha's heart sank, 'This guy read my mind...'.

"Yes, Inuyasha, I can read other people's minds." Wu Xingui stared at Inuyasha with his bloodshot eyes, "Not only your intention to attack, but I can also see clearly the irritability and confusion in your heart at this moment."

"Guys who are good at talking are usually not that great." Inuyasha raised Tessaiga again and swung it hard at Goshinki, but it still had no effect.

"I've told you before, I can read minds, you can't beat me." Wuxin Gui's fighting style is to use the ability of mind reading and language to put the opponent under tremendous pressure, so as to find the right time to defeat the opponent in one fell swoop.

Inuyasha was about to swing his sword again, but a wind blade falling from the sky interrupted his attack and he could only defend himself.

"Sister Kagura, don't disturb me. Just go and tie up Kikyo and the others first. I will deal with Inuyasha soon." Wuxingui did not take the opportunity to launch an attack. Instead, he looked at Kagura with dissatisfaction.

"He didn't expect Kagura to attack. It seems that his mind-reading ability is also limited. We must defeat him as soon as possible and go back to protect Kagome and the others." Inuyasha analyzed the situation calmly.

"I just ignored their voices just now. From now on, I will not let go of the thoughts of everyone present. Inuyasha, you have no chance." Wuxingui looked at Inuyasha again.

"Damn it, take it." Inuyasha clenched Tessaiga in both hands and swung it at Goshinki again, but still failed to hit him, which made him even more anxious.

"Haha, Inuyasha, you keep struggling, or I'll bite your neck off soon." As he spoke, Goshinki dodged the magic-breaking arrow shot by Kagome, completely ignoring her.

"Kagura, Kanna, speed up and use all your strength to kill the others as soon as possible." Naraku's voice suddenly sounded in Kagura and Kanna's minds.

"Yes, Lord Naraku." Kagura answered respectfully, but in her heart she was thinking, 'Did Naraku come in person? '.

Kanna still seemed unresponsive, but the mirror in his hand was glowing.

"Dance of Dragons and Snakes!" The violent wind swept up the corpses of the monsters on the ground and turned them into weapons to attack together. Even Goshinki and Inuyasha were within the attack range.

"Kagura, you bastard!" Wuxingui, who noticed Kagura's intention, jumped up, jumped back onto the banana leaf and glared at Kagura.

"I'm sorry, Lord Naraku ordered us to attack with all our strength, and I was just following orders." Kagura covered half of her face with a fan and said with a smile.

"You guy, do you want to force Naraku to take action himself?" However, Wuxingui didn't buy it and directly told Kagura what he was thinking.

"Do you want to be under Naraku's control forever? As a more perfect individual than me and Kanna, you will not tolerate your life being in the hands of others, right?" Although Kagura cannot read minds, it is not difficult to guess what Goshinki is thinking given his arrogant personality.

"Hmph." Goshinki agreed with Kagura's words, "Don't be so obvious." After saying that, he jumped down again and found Inuyasha again.

Seeing that Goshinki also acquiesced to the slacking behavior, Kagura curled up a bright smile and once again used the Dragon Snake Dance to confront Kikyo's barrier head-on. However, this time she slightly avoided the battlefield between Inuyasha and Goshinki, and instead many monsters were accidentally injured.

"Kagura, the mirror monster is in place. When should we let it take action?" Shen Wuyong asked Kagura in a soft voice.

"Sister, the mirror monster is prepared to warn the Shendu Mage, isn't it? Now that the Shendu Mage hasn't appeared yet, how can you release the trump card so soon?" Kagura gave a reason with a smile. Although Sister Kanna, who symbolizes "nothing", is very loyal to Naraku, it does not mean that she does not have her own ideas in her heart. As long as there is a suitable reason, Kanna will stand on her side. Just now, Kanna also took the initiative to ask Kagura to give an excuse so that she could slack off reasonably.

"Lady Kikyo, Kagome, do you feel that their offensive seems to have weakened?" Coral, who retreated into the defensive barrier to catch her breath, discovered that the situation on the battlefield seemed to have changed. Although on the surface the offensive from Kagura and Goshinki was extremely fierce, in fact, the pressure Coral faced from the tide of monsters was less.

Kagura's attack reduced the monsters' attack space. Although Goshinki had the advantage, he was still fighting with Inuyasha. Sango felt something was wrong.

Kikyo's eyes flickered slightly: "Don't worry about them. What we need to do now is to wait for the arrival of the gods and Maitreya Master, and let Maitreya Master use the wind hole to clear the monsters. As for the most powerful poison, the gods have ways to deal with it."

"Have you noticed it? It seems that we need to show some real skills to get rid of Inuyasha first, otherwise Naraku might just run away. Anyway, Inuyasha's strength is no threat to Naraku at all. The key is to rely on Kikyo and Miroku's wind caves." A new idea flashed through Wuxingui's mind.

"Don't hide!" Although Goshinki let him go, he never stopped mocking Inuyasha. Inuyasha's rage had already exploded, and when he saw that Goshinki seemed to have made a mistake and his movements paused, he seized the opportunity and swung Tessaiga at Goshinki's head.

But to Inuyasha's surprise, Goshinki not only did not dodge this time, but instead opened his big mouth full of sharp teeth and faced Tessaiga head-on.

"Tessaiga is just a dog's teeth." Goshinki, who was biting Tessaiga, taunted Inuyasha. Then cracks appeared on the blade of Tessaiga, and the classic scene appeared, where Tessaiga was bitten into pieces by Goshinki's own teeth.
