Heaven has bound me to weakness? I angrily unleash the Eight Gates!

"I see. So, Mr. Gojo had everything planned out all along?"

Looking at the fire in front of him, Huzhang seemed lost in thought.

"Why are you still here?"

Just then, a voice came, and Fushiguro Megumi, wearing a high school uniform, walked towards Itadori in the darkness and asked calmly.

"Hurry up and get ready to go back to the college. The barrier around the college is very loose now. As long as you are not seen, no one will know that you are alive."

"Let's meet up with the senior students first, and then discuss how to save Mr. Gojo."

"Fukuguro, don't take me for granted!" Itachi interrupted Fukuguro's speech, clenching his fists and shouting at him.

"Don't act like nothing happened! I killed people! I killed a lot of people! Many people died because of me!"

Itadori always blamed himself for the deaths in Shibuya, and he couldn't accept that he could return to the high school as if nothing had happened after killing so many people.

"Do you think you're a friend of justice? Those who died were because of us, not just you. Don't take all the blame on yourself, okay?"

Fushiguro looked at Itajitsugi. No matter how many people died in Shibuya, he never thought it was Itajitsugi's fault.

"We are sorcerers, and it is precisely because no one can judge us that we must constantly demonstrate the meaning of our existence."

We don't have time to think about ourselves; we can only keep saving lives. That's what we should be doing.

"Wasn't your original intention in swallowing Sukuna's finger to save someone?"

Upon hearing this, Itsuji's eyes trembled, and his heart ached even more.

Yes, his original intention in swallowing Su Nuo's finger was clearly to save more people, so why did he kill so many people instead?

Just as Itachi was about to suffer pain again, a voice rang out.

"So this is where Yi Gu is. I was wondering why there were no cursed spirits around here."

Zenji Jinsuke emerged from the shadows and looked at the three of them.

He fought from day to night, almost without stopping.

After all, there are quite a few of the ten million cursed spirits, including those above the quasi-first level.

They fought their way from the west of the city to the east, and by chance, they ran into a few people.

"Teacher of the Zen Monastery, are you nearby too?"

Yi Gu stood up, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.

"Yigu, I'm not trying to be mean, but can't you tone down your cursed power? It's making even cursed spirits afraid to approach this area."

Zenji Jinsuke couldn't help but complain.

The curse power of this Yi Bone is becoming more and more terrifying every day. It hasn't been that long since I last saw it, but it already feels like it has an infinite mana bar.

Upon hearing this, Yi Gu showed a helpless expression. "Teacher Zen Temple, I have been trying my best to control it, but there is just too much of it, and I can't completely stop it."

Sometimes, having too much magical power isn't necessarily a good thing. At least the target is obvious, and magical spirits that are sensitive to magical power will stay far away.

"..."

"Hey, what are you guys doing here? Aren't you going to save your teacher, Gojo?"

Zenji Jinsuke looked at Fukuro and Itachi with a puzzled expression.

What's going on between you two? Did you have a fight?

“Master Zenin, it’s because Hisahito feels guilty about everything that happened in Shibuya that he’s having trouble understanding things now.”

Yi Gu explained from the side.

“Hiruhito has only been a sorcerer for a year, and he is already burdened with such great power. He may be feeling a lot of pressure.”

Yi Gu could empathize most with Hu Zhang, after all, he too had once borne extremely powerful forces and was also given a death sentence by the higher-ups.

"Pressure? What kind of pressure?"

Zenji Jinsuke looked puzzled. “You don’t need to pay any attention to the orders from higher-ups. Just do what you’re supposed to do. As for the Shibuya incident… weren’t all the people who died killed by Sukuna? What do you have to feel guilty about?”

"Besides, what war doesn't kill people? If you can't accept that, then you shouldn't be a sorcerer. Just be an ordinary person."

Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent.

"Hey! What do you mean I killed them all? Can you honestly say you didn't kill a single ordinary person?"

A mouth sprouted from Itachi's face, emitting Sukuna's displeased voice.

He just couldn't stand Zenin Jinsuke shifting the blame onto him alone. He hadn't paid any attention to the ordinary people around him during the fight, so how did it become his responsibility alone?

Doesn't the other party bear any responsibility at all?

"Su Nuo, what nonsense are you talking about? We are on the side of justice, and you are on the side of evil. Of course you killed the person. We have always been kind-hearted, how could we kill someone?"

"Justice? Evil? What makes you think you're just?" Su Nuo scoffed.

Zenin Jinsuke responded with an air of self-righteousness, "Because I won. If I'm not justice, then who is?"

He suddenly found Su Nuo a bit funny, that he could ask such a stupid question.

Seeing this, Su Nuo fell silent. If he couldn't defeat his opponent even once, he would carry this shame for the rest of his life.

"Teacher Zen, I understand. I will pull myself together! I will save more people, and I will rescue Teacher Gojo!"

After a brief moment of thought, Huzhang felt that he couldn't let himself sink into despair like this, and that he couldn't let one setback prevent him from ever getting back up.

Whether it's Dongtang or Fuhei, they're both right. He is a sorcerer, and the price of becoming a sorcerer is this cruel. He has to accept it, otherwise he wouldn't deserve to be a sorcerer.

"Good, you can go back now."

Zenji nods in satisfaction, preparing to continue searching for powerful cursed spirits to kill, aiming to complete his goal within a few days.

"Master of the Zen Temple, aren't you coming back with us?"

Yigu looked at Zenji Jinsuke and said, "By the way, Zenji-sensei, you probably don't know yet, but those guys at the top have arranged for you to become the new principal of Tokyo College."

"Everyone is waiting for you to go back and take charge."

Upon hearing this, Zen-in-tsuki's expression froze. "What the hell?"

"I've become the principal? Have the higher-ups lost their minds?"

Zenji Shinsuke was somewhat bewildered by the higher-ups' decision. What were they trying to do? Were they trying to curry favor with him?

Even if Principal Moth is dismissed, it's not his place to be principal.

With so many teachers in this vocational college, it doesn't matter who takes the position.

"Never mind, it doesn't matter. You guys go back first, I'll go back in a couple of days."

Zenji Shinsuke waved his hand, not caring what those old guys at the higher-ups thought, as long as it didn't affect his upgrade.

As for the position of principal, even if he were given it, he would be a hands-off manager.

He might have been happy to be a school principal before, but now that money is worthless, what's the point?

"What about the tiger staff?" Yi Gu asked.

"Let's go back together. We don't need to worry about the higher-ups. Do they think I'll give them face just because I'm the principal?"

What kind of high-ranking officials are they? They're just a bunch of hereditary old men who do nothing.

"Why do you care about guys who've got one foot in the ground?"

"I see... alright." Yigu nodded, his lips twitching.

It has to be the Zen master; at least he played word games with the higher-ups, but the Zen master didn't even bother with the pretense anymore...

Chapter 106 Meeting Tianyuan

And so, Zenji Shinsuke continued his path of slaughter.

Meanwhile, Huzhang was openly brought into the college by Yigu and Fuhei, where he joined the teachers and students.

"Hey, where did you run off to? We couldn't find you anywhere."

Kugizaki gave Itadori a barrage of sarcastic remarks, his face showing displeasure.

I'm sorry for making everyone worry!

Huzhang bowed and apologized.

"Alright, it's good that you're back safe and sound."

Nanami Kento interrupted their conversation and began to analyze the situation, "Now, that person named Kamo Kento has arranged a game called Death Returns."

"This game will force all those who have been given spells to kill each other."

"This battle almost determined the future direction of the world, and all players who participated in the Death Return Journey were called Swimmers."

The existence of game points adds another layer of complexity, making it feel like a real-life game where points provide leverage in the competition.

As he spoke, Nanami Kento looked at the others, “The rules of the Death Return Tour are as follows: First, after awakening the spell, the swimmer must go to any barrier to participate in the Death Return Tour within nineteen days.”

Second, any swimmer who violates Article 1 will be stripped of their surgical skills and forced to undergo the death penalty.

three......"

After explaining the eight rules, Nanami Kento continued expressionlessly, "This game will continue until the golden age of sorcery that guy is looking forward to arrives."

"What? Does that mean Tsumiki is also a swimmer?"

Upon hearing the rules, Fukuro's eyes widened immediately. According to the rules, if Tsumiki did not participate in the Death Return Tour at any barrier within nineteen days, she would be stripped of her spell death.

Immediately, the image of Jian Naqi flashed through Fu Hei's mind.

According to the constraints imposed on her by her uncle, the other party only agreed to let Tsumiki return to normal as much as possible, but did not say that she did not have to follow the rules of this game.

Or rather, even the other party cannot change the rules of the Death Return Cycle.

From the moment Tsumiki was marked, it was destined that the other party would have to participate in this game.

"Fu Hei, are you alright?"

Tiger Rod looked at Fukuro with some concern and asked.

"It's alright, don't worry about me. Let's talk about Gojo-sensei instead."

Fukuro shook his head. If he were alone, he would probably already be trying to find a way to rescue Tsumi from this game.

But now that my father and uncle are here, there's no need to rush things.

"Regarding Gojo Satoru-senpai's situation, we can only ask you to find Lord Tengen."

"Let's go, there are people waiting for you."

Nanami Kento led Huzhang Yigu and the others to a secret room in the college, where several people had been waiting for a long time.

Yuki Tsukumo, Maki Zenin, and Riko Tendai.

"finally reached."

Sitting on the sofa, Tsukumo Yuki glanced back.

She originally intended to sneak into the Hongxing Palace alone to find Tianyuan, but the other party closed the barrier of the Hongxing Palace.

Tianyuan refused to see her, leaving her with no choice but to wait here.

"Maki? Thank goodness, you're alright."

Yigu smiled as he looked at Maki, who was unharmed. He was naturally happy to see his companion safe and sound.

"What could be wrong with me? But Dog Roll, go see Dog Roll when you have time."

Maki remained calm. She was always surrounded by powerful figures; what could possibly happen to her?

After exchanging pleasantries for a moment, they got down to business.

“The problem we’re facing now is that Tianyuan has closed the barrier of Hongxing Palace, so we can’t find Tianyuan’s location,” Tianlizi said.

There are countless passages within the Hongxing Palace, and no one can be sure which one leads to the correct Tianyuan.

"I can find the location of Tianyuan."

At this moment, Zhang Xiang, who was standing next to Hu Zhang, spoke.

Hidden along the road to the Palace of Death is a forbidden storehouse where high-ranking officials store spell tools and items, and the remaining brothers of Zhang Xiang are stored there.

He can use the bloodline sensing technique from the Crimson Blood Manipulation to find the one and only correct path.
