Crossover: A Different Inuyasha

With such extraordinary power, if he hadn't intercepted the feather robe and mirror beforehand, it would have been uncertain whether Dong Lan's trip would have gone smoothly.

Under Kikyo's gaze that seemed to say, "Look, he really has revealed his true nature," Inuyasha remained unfazed and accepted her gaze without flinching.

"The safest way to win over such a person is to become intimate with her, make her shy, and conquer her heart and soul."

Feng shook his head and sighed helplessly, "...You really make your reasons for having a harem sound so righteous."

“I carry the weight of the world on my shoulders; even if it's just sexual desire, it's not an ordinary family matter.”

Inuyasha's words make perfect sense.

Kikyo wanted to refute him but couldn't find a point to refute, so she could only turn her head away in frustration, leaving him with a tall, aloof profile.

Seeing this, Inuyasha squatted down and leaned close to Kikyo's ear.

"I know I also have my faults, so I'll leave Kaguya to you for now, after all, you are the rightful wife."

His gaze fell on Kikyo's earring, which was gradually turning red, and he couldn't help but gently bite it. A soft moan escaped from the shrine maiden's lips, like a petal being crushed in the night wind.

Inuyasha's lips curved slightly as he continued in a low voice, "I'll reward the Fighting Club with a piece of spirit gear. I'm going to the Western Country to deal with the ley lines there—I've rested for ten days, it's time to get down to business."

Before getting up, he didn't show favoritism and turned around to whisper the same words in Feng's ear.

Feng's ears turned a faint blush at a visible speed, and with her eyelashes lowered, she only gave a soft "hmm".

Inuyasha then stood up, his figure flickered, and he disappeared into the moonlight.

The two sisters sat there, their faces still flushed.

Kikyo glanced at Kaede, and Kaede also happened to look up—the two gazes collided for a moment in mid-air, and they both spat lightly, as if to vent their earlier embarrassment and annoyance.

"That bastard."

"Yes."

Despite their verbal grumbling, the two stood up and walked towards the main hall of the shrine without prior arrangement.

The moonlight stretched their shadows into two long streaks as they walked side by side, like two flags fluttering in the same wind.

Judging by the time, the Tobu members and Kamiya, who have been flying all the way, should be arriving soon.

Inside the hall, candlelight flickered, and Kikyo and Kaede sat side by side at the head of the table, their white robes and crimson trousers looking pristine in the lamplight.

Like two plum trees growing side by side under the moonlight, one pure and cold, the other gentle and warm.

Donglan led Chunlan, Xialan, and Qiulan in, stopped at the foot of the steps, and bowed in greeting.

Kaguya stood at the end of the line, her posture ramrod straight, her eyes lowered, her expression unreadable.

Kikyo nodded slightly, her gaze sweeping over Donglan's face, her tone gentle.

"You've had a hard time on this trip. The seal on Dream City is no small matter. To break it so decisively and cleanly, the strength of the Leopard Cat Clan is truly remarkable."

Feng continued, "The reward of the spirit dress has already been prepared by the shrine by the priest."

"Donglan, you can bring your people and come with me. There's no need to linger here."

A glint flashed in Dong Lan's eyes as she suppressed her joy. "Thank you both, priestesses."

She turned around, waved to Chunlan and the others, and followed Feng with light steps.

As Chunlan exited the main hall, she couldn't help but glance back at Shen Jiuye, only to be grabbed by the back of the neck and dragged away by Donglan.

Xia Lan grinned and whispered something in Chun Lan's ear, earning herself an elbow strike. The figures gradually disappeared into the distance under the moonlight, and the commotion subsided.

Kikyo stood up and addressed Kami Kuya, her voice noticeably lacking the gentleness she displayed when speaking to the Tobu cats.

"Come with me."

Kagura, who had been silent all along, responded and followed Kikyo along the corridor toward the backyard.

The moonlight bathed the cobblestone path, and the low bamboo on both sides rustled in the night breeze.

Kaguya glanced at Kikyo's back, then moved to the side front—there was a side room in the backyard, where she could sense two familiar auras—the Mirror of Life and the Feather Robe of Heaven.

They were in that direction, like two pearls faintly glowing in the darkness, quietly waiting to be picked up again.

This is truly a delightful surprise!

Kamiya's fingertips curled slightly, and her hand, covered by long sleeves, slowly clenched.

Her gaze fell back on Kikyo's vest. The slender figure was walking unguarded in the moonlight, and even the rhythm of her steps was unsettling, as if she, Kagura, were an insignificant, invisible person.

'The arrogance of a victor? Ha, as long as I take her…'

Kagami lowered his eyes, the corners of his lips curved slightly, then quickly flattened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

'Once I capture this high-ranking priestess, I can reclaim everything. The Mirror and the Feathered Robe, the Dream Castle—they will all return to my grasp, and I will rule this world!'

The courtyard was quiet and secluded, the moonlight was bright, and the bamboo shadows swayed gently on the ground. Everything was as still as a pool of water about to freeze.

The celestial maiden demon formed a secret hand seal with her fingertips within her sleeve, silently gathering spiritual power in her palm and condensing it into a dark purple talisman.

The edges of the talisman shimmered with a faint light, like a venomous snake coiled between fingers, silently protruding its fangs.

step.

Two steps.

With a flick of her wrist, Shen Jiuye released the talisman—silent, invisible, and formless, like a wisp of night breeze slipping from the bamboo tips, heading straight for Kikyo's vital point on the back of her neck.

'This witch is nothing special.'

She wore a victor's smile.

But just before the talisman touched Kikyo's skin, the shrine maiden stopped in her tracks.

Kikyo glanced back casually.

Under the moonlight, her clear, bright eyes remained calm and undisturbed.

That indifferent glance caused Kagami Kuya's exquisite face to freeze instantly.

She felt as if her talisman had crashed into an invisible wall, and before she could even make a crisp sound, it shattered from the center into scattered fragments of light.

Immediately afterwards, a force she couldn't comprehend surged from directly in front of her.

Vast, formless, and irresistible, like a torrent cascading down from the mountaintop, it crashed mercilessly into her chest and abdomen.

Her body, like a kite with a broken string, was tossed high into the air by that force, flying backwards through the moonlight and bamboo shadows above the courtyard, tracing a clumsy arc, and then—

"thump--!"

Water splashed skyward, exploding into countless shimmering fragments under the moonlight, like a suddenly blooming epiphyllum, before gently falling back onto the pond's surface, creating ripples upon ripples.

In the center of the pool, Kamiya was half-submerged in the water, his clothes soaked through.

Her long, dark hair clung messily to her cheeks and neck, and water droplets slid down her chin.

The excruciating pain spread like vines from my chest and abdomen to my limbs, each breath accompanied by a dull, tearing pain.

Her fingertips, hanging underwater, trembled slightly, but she gritted her teeth and didn't groan.

She struggled to lift her head and looked down at the figure in white robes and crimson trousers in the corridor. In addition to the lingering pain, her eyes were filled with disbelief and confusion—as if she still couldn't understand how that casual glance had sent her flying.

"What kind of power is this?"

"The power to kill you at will."

Kikyo gazed at the curvaceous Kamiya, then looked away and continued walking forward, her voice light and casual, as if she were advising a guest who had gone astray.

"Hurry up and catch up, or it won't just be a simple matter of falling into the pool."

Kagami bit her lower lip and flipped herself out of the pool. Her wet footsteps left a trail of watermarks of varying depths on the bluestone slab.

The two walked one after the other along the corridor and turned into an inconspicuous side path.

The shrine maiden paused at the end of the stone steps, then raised her hand and pressed it forward.

A faint ripple spread across the air around her fingertips, and then an invisible door slid open to the sides, revealing a view completely different from the courtyard.

A narrow, long stone-paved passageway, with dark copper lamps embedded in the stone walls on both sides, their lights remaining perfectly still in the windless passageway.

'A barrier?'

'There's a demonic aura emanating from behind. What is this priestess trying to do?'

Shen Jiuye silently crossed the barrier.

The ripples closed behind her, like a curtain being drawn back, shutting out the chirping of insects and the sound of bamboo in the courtyard.

The passageway was not long, only about ten steps.

At the end was a plain wooden door, with no decoration on the frame or pattern on the door panel, except for a round copper bracelet inlaid in the center.

"arrive."

Chapter 88 The Tragic Naraku, The Existing Problem

Under the moonlight, Kikyo's expression remained calm, but for some reason, as Kaguya looked at the shrine maiden, she suddenly felt a deep chill.

She instinctively clenched her soaked sleeve, her nails digging into her palms.

"Come in with me."

Kikyo pushed open the wooden door, glanced back at her, and gave a faint smile.

"Go and meet your kind."

The door opened inward, revealing a thick darkness behind it.

Kikyo stepped into the shadows, her back quickly swallowed by the darkness, leaving only the last glimmer of light from the edge of her white dress, like the last ripple before sinking into deep water.

'If they didn't kill me at the beginning, they probably wouldn't have gone to so much trouble.'

Kaguya stood outside the door, suppressing the fear in her heart.

She glanced back at the way she had come.

The passageway had been sealed off by a barrier, and the light from the bronze lamps became hazy and indistinct just a few steps away, as if seen through a thick curtain of water.

The road ahead is pitch black, and the road behind is cut off.

She could only step over the threshold.

The wooden door closed itself behind us.

The door hinges emitted a very low hum, then closed tightly, shutting out the last ray of moonlight.

Kagaya thought she would be greeted by endless darkness, but at the very moment the door closed completely, the lights in the room suddenly came on.

The light came without warning. She squinted instinctively, and when she saw the whole room, she froze on the spot, her pupils suddenly contracting and filled with fear.

—This room, less than 100 square meters, is both extremely clean and extremely sinister.

Beneath your feet is a thick, transparent glass panel, polished smooth as a mirror, so clear that you almost forget it exists.

But when Kaguya looked down, there were countless layers of monster skeletons piled up beneath the glass, their pale and dark brown hues gleaming in the dim, cold light.

The skeletons were of various shapes and sizes, some with spines twisted like snakes, some with shoulder blades spread out like wings, and some with complete skeletons curled up in a ball.

Layer upon layer, like a tomb of ten thousand demons.

What made her scalp tingle even more was the blood and vengeful spirits seeping from between the bones.

A dark red, misty aura slowly traveled along the patterns on the bottom of the glass plate, wriggling and swirling like a living thing.

Thousands of vengeful spirits appeared and disappeared in the mist, their mouths agape as if they were shouting or howling.

However, they could not make any sound and could only be captured, decomposed, and extracted one by one by the dense arrays engraved on the ground.

It transformed into wisps of pale green light, converging upwards along the array patterns.

The streams of light climbed up the wall and eventually all merged into a life-sized black sphere suspended in mid-air.

The surface of the sphere was covered with layers of intricate magic array patterns, which glowed with a ghostly green light, flickering on and off like some enormous creature breathing slowly.

A thin, flexible tube hangs from its bottom. The tube is semi-transparent, and dark red liquid inside is rhythmically pulsating.

At the end of the tube, under Kagami Kuya's gaze, a bright red, crystal-clear gem was expelled.

The precious jade landed on the soft cushion. It was about the size of a pigeon egg, perfectly round, and its surface shimmered with a beautiful and pure luster.
