"why?"
Although he had known the result for a long time and it was impossible to achieve his goal so easily with just one sentence, Yakumo Lan still felt a little anxious, so he asked again, hoping to get an answer from Xiangbei.
"The reason is very simple." Xiangbei explained patiently: "If I give Yakumo Yukari's soul to you, then she will really die. In the true sense of the word, a death with her soul torn apart."
"As you know, after a monster dies, its soul will be scattered. Even Yakumo Yukari was the same. Although she used the power of realm to reverse her own death before her death, she activated her ability relatively late, and as a result, most of her soul had already dissipated. Now only a small, weak soul remains, barely maintaining her existence."
"So, if I were to give you her soul, without the power to sustain it, it would instantly vanish into thin air, forever extinguished... Therefore, to keep her alive, I have stored her soul within my body, maintaining its existence."
"Actually, if I have to say it, I'm still Yakumo Yukari's savior... including that Hakurei shrine maiden. In theory, both she and you should be grateful to me!"
"Well."
Choked by Xiangbei's words, the tail shaking behind Yakumo Aoi stopped for a moment and then returned to normal.
"I believe what you said, Mr. Xiangbei... because I can feel that your power is very strong, very strong."
"If you wanted to attack me, you wouldn't have had to waste your words with me, and you wouldn't have had to save my life before."
"But please forgive my rudeness. In order to ensure the safety of Master Zi, I must confirm whether Master Zi's soul still exists."
"Confirm?" Xiangbei was a little confused.
"That's no problem, but as a youkai, even a powerful nine-tailed fox, you can't see these souls without special magical powers, right? How can you confirm it?"
"I really can't confirm it with my own eyes, but..." Yakumo Lan raised the corner of her mouth with a smile: "Lady Yakumo Yukari has a close friend who is proficient in the way of the soul. She is a princess of the dead and can see souls. If she can confirm it, then I can truly believe what Mr. Xiangbei said."
"Oh, Youyouzi."
Xiangbei thought about it and realized that he had only seen a half-spiritual gardener carrying food before, but he had never met these big-eating ghost princesses.
"Alright, then take me to see her. If what I say is true, you'll be able to let down your guard and trust me... I'm going to help you build Gensokyo."
"That's no problem, but..." After hesitating for a moment, Yakumo Ran finally asked.
"Mr. Xiangbei, who are you? Whether inside the Great Barrier or in the world outside it, I have never heard of your name. Someone like you shouldn't be so unknown."
As Yakumo Yukari's shikigami, Yakumo Lan not only possesses powerful barrier techniques and arithmetic abilities, but her millennia of practice also allow her to know nearly every hero in the world. Whether it's the Four Heavenly Kings of the Demon Clan, the Flower Tyrant Kazami Yuuka, the Eastern Immortals, the Western Vampires, or even the beings on the Moon... practically any person or demon with a name, Yakumo Lan remembers them all.
But she knew nothing about the person in front of her. Not to mention having seen him before, she had never even heard of this person.
Yet, such an unknown person possesses such powerful strength, and he seems to know a lot about what is happening within the great barrier. He knows everything about himself, Yakumo Yukari, and Youyouko.
This makes people wonder what this person's true identity is.
If it would pose a threat to Gensokyo, that would be too bad. The only way was to activate the barrier signal that he had set up before and spread the news of Yakumo Yukari's death, so that the monsters in the barrier would feel a sense of crisis and fight against this guy together.
If it can help Gensokyo... then try to win them over.
But to be honest, Yakumo Lan doesn't care much about these things.
All she cared about was the safety of Yakumo Yukari.
If she didn't know that Yakumo Yukari was not completely dead, even if Xiangbei had saved her life just now, she would have chosen to kill Xiangbei without hesitation. Even if she might be killed by him again, she would definitely do so!
"Me? Me... never mind, let's talk about it later. Youyouzi will definitely ask again then, or you'll need to tell her again. So why not just go over there and tell you all at once?"
Xiangbei raised his hand to open a gap, then grabbed Yakumo Aoi's hand and pulled her in before she could react.
"Okay, I remember you can use the gap, right? I'll give you the right to operate it. Take me to the White Jade Tower."
"Huh? Oh, okay, okay."
Yakumo Lan subconsciously controlled the gap, feeling familiar yet unfamiliar, and set the coordinates in the White Jade Tower.
Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 215: You should speak carefully, right?
Theoretically, as long as the coordinates are known and there is enough energy to activate it, the gap can lead to anywhere.
In fact, it is not entirely true. This statement is a bit exaggerated. For example, when traveling to parallel worlds, even if you have coordinates and enough energy, you cannot travel between the gaps because your status is not high enough and you cannot cross the barriers of the world.
Only after being sublimated into the power of law can the gap have the effect of traveling through other worlds.
However, the world you travel through here just cannot travel through a big world like a parallel world.
It's like traveling into small worlds like hell, the underworld, and the devil, but it's not too difficult. After all, the barriers between the worlds are not strong, and there won't be any world will coming to you.
Although Xiangbei had enough power, he did not know the coordinates of Baiyu Tower and the underworld. With Yakumo Lan's positioning, they appeared in the underworld in almost an instant.
Walking out of the gap and seeing the surrounding scenery, Xiangbei couldn't help but sigh.
"Is this the White Jade Tower? It's quite beautiful."
A completely white building stands in front of you, except for the roof which is made of tiles. Like Eien-tei, this building is full of oriental style.
The building is surrounded by pink cherry trees. Against the backdrop of the cherry trees, this not very tall building looks particularly romantic.
This is the White Jade Tower, where Youyouzi of Xixing Temple lives.
At the same time, like the Hakurei Shrine, the White Jade Tower has a long staircase leading to the building, but the length of the staircase in the White Jade Tower is much longer than that of the Hakurei Shrine, and there are some strange effects.
Although both of them had great physical strength and power, climbing stairs would not take much effort. In order to save time, Yakumo Aoi chose to locate the coordinates of the gap directly in front of the White Jade Building, saving the effort of climbing stairs.
"Well, this is the underworld, and the building in front of us is the White Jade Tower... Please follow me, Mr. Xiangbei."
Led by Yakumo Lan, the two walked into the white building and soon arrived in front of the White Jade Building.
"Hoo-ha-ah-ah-"
I heard his voice before I saw him.
As the two of them entered the building and opened a door, they saw an old man and a child, plus two mochi-like souls beside them.
The child was a white-haired little girl wearing the same clothes as the old man. She was trying hard to swing the wooden sword in her hand and fight with the white-haired old man in front of her. However, judging from the performance, even if the girl used all her strength, the old man could still easily block all the girl's attacks.
The arrival of Xiangbei and Yakumo Lan obviously attracted the old man's attention. After blocking the girl's knife, the old man turned his wrist and kicked the wooden sword in the girl's hand away.
"Oh!"
The girl fell to the ground with a grunt, gasping for breath.
"Grandpa Yaoji's swordsmanship is truly amazing. When will I ever be as strong as you?"
The old man known as Youmu touched the girl's hair lovingly and said, "When you grow up, you will become stronger. You will become stronger than me... But now, go and entertain the guests, Youmu."
"what!"
Youmu turned around and saw the two people standing at the door. She screamed and quickly stood up from the floor. When she ran towards this side, she tripped over her left foot and fell again.
Looking at the girl's disheveled figure, Xiangbei couldn't help but be distracted.
This little girl must be Konpaku Youmu... It turns out that this girl was also a little girl hundreds of years ago.
Then this old man should be Konpaku Yoki... One of the rarest male characters in Gensokyo, the third male besides the village chief and Lao Yi.
"Welcome to the White Jade Tower!" Little Yaomeng finally stumbled in front of the two of them.
"Lord Yakumo Lan, and this..."
"Just tell me to go north."
"Yes, Master Xiangbei! Are you here to see Master Youyouzi?"
"That's right." Yakumo Lan nodded: "Can you take us to see her?"
"No problem! Leave it to me!" Xiao Yaomeng promised, patting his chest.
This look reminded Xiangbei of Ai Ge. They were both kids, both reckless, and both loved to show off.
I don't know if I can ever return to that fantasy land...
With a sigh in his heart, Xiangbei followed Youmu's footsteps and left the room under Youji's gaze.
The interior decoration of the White Jade Tower was ancient and elegant. With Youmeng leading the way, the two soon arrived at the house where the owner of the White Jade Tower lived.
"Lord Youyouzi, I have brought guests." Youmeng stood outside the house and reported softly to the inside.
"Well, thank you for your hard work, Youmu."
A soft and elegant female voice came from inside the house: "You should go back first. I have something to discuss with these two."
"Yes!"
As Youmu left, Yakumo Ran walked forward and opened the paper door, allowing Xiangbei to see the situation inside the house clearly.
The open-plan living room was only decorated with simple decorations. A low square table was placed on the tatami. A pink-haired girl in a gorgeous blue kimono was lying on the table. When she saw the door being opened, she stood up as well.
This is a beautiful girl with a baby face, wearing a
She was wearing a blue and white outfit, I couldn't tell if it was a kimono or pajamas. She had a hat on her head, but it was actually a celestial crown. Her short pink hair and eyes were the same color as the cherry blossom petals outside the door, giving her a unique sense of beauty.
"Nice to meet you. My name is Saigyouji Yuyuko..."
Youyouzi's eyes flickered as she looked straight at Xiangbei in front of her and chuckled.
"This gentleman's soul is truly unique. This is the first time I've seen more than one soul contained within a single body... I'm sure you're also an expert at controlling souls."
"It's true that I do have some accomplishments in this area." Xiangbei was surprised that the other party could actually see the soul in his body directly. However, the other party was the controller of the underworld after all, and could transform the soul into an undead princess of the ghost race at will. It was nothing that he could see it.
"So, Lan, what on earth do you want to do by bringing this gentleman to see me?"
Ok?
Youyouko looked at Yakumo Ran with an innocent look, which was totally not the look someone should have after learning of the death of their best friend.
Unless she didn't know anything about this at all... Xiangbei thought that Yakumo Lan had already revealed this to Youyouko, but it turns out she didn't?
"It's like this..." Yakumo Ran spoke carefully and explained to Youyouko.
"Master Zi...is dead."
Volume 4: Player Genocide Line: Chapter 216: Yakumo Hong is mine
It took Xiangbei a while to finally calm down the violent Youyouzi.
The news of Yakumo Yukari's death was unknown to almost everyone in Gensokyo, except for Yakumo Ai. Perhaps Modara was aware of it, but judging by Yakumo Yukari's memories, she hadn't yet successfully lured Modara into Gensokyo's power at that point in time.
Therefore, after Yakumo Aoi blocked the news, she was the only person who knew about this matter besides Xiangbei, Yakumo Hong and Fujiwara Moehiko.
Of course, there is now one more person, Yuyuko Saigyouji.
"Are you calming down?" Xiangbei asked softly.
When Yakumo Aoi told you about Yakumo Yukari's death, Youyuko was in disbelief. After all, as a youkai sage, how could someone kill her so silently?
However, if Yakumo Yukari died while going to the outside world... it is not impossible. During this period, in addition to lobbying all day long in Gensokyo and uniting monsters of various races, Yakumo Yukari also went to the outside world from time to time to interfere with those Onmyoji who wanted to enter the barrier, and try to win over those monsters who were still in the outside world.
But as the saying goes, words are not enough, and as Yakumo Yukari's best friend, Saigyouji Yuyuko could be said to instinctively want to refute the facts stated by Yakumo Aoi.
So in order to convince Youyouzi, Xiangbei deliberately pulled Yakumo Yukari's body out from the shadows to show her...
Ok……
what……
"You are a bit too extreme." Huo, who was inside Xiangbei's body, sighed after observing what Xiangbei did.
"No, no, no, how do you say that word?" Rika had a different opinion.
"It's a beast, right? Fantasy Beast King Xiangbei... you're capable of such a cruel thing, right? Playing with your best friend's corpse in front of others, no one would tolerate it, right?"
"This... is indeed a bit inconsiderate of me." Xiang Bei also felt that his face was a little embarrassed: "But Yakumo Yukari is not dead, right? I saved her soul, so it can't be said that I played with her body, I just borrowed it... is that?"
"Haha." Huo responded.
"But the other party doesn't understand." Rika's voice was filled with helplessness: "Then you have to explain it to them properly, otherwise this will really be a fight to the death."
Therefore, after successfully blocking Youyouko's series of attacks, Xiangbei picked up a fire extinguisher from the shadow and knocked her to the ground. He then used high-speed divine words to explain the cause and effect clearly, and extracted Yakumo Yukari's soul from her body and let Youyouko take a look at it, which calmed her down.
"excuse me……"
Youyouzi, who was covered in dust, brushed off the dust on his body and exhaled a breath of foul air.
During the battle, Xiangbei covered the entire room with unlimited cursed power, and the surroundings were filled with inviolable power, so that his fight with Youyouzi did not destroy any buildings or furniture, and no loud noise was heard.
Otherwise, if they heard the noise, Konpaku Youki and Konpaku Youmu would definitely come over, and then we would have to spend a lot of time explaining.
Take Yakumo Yukari's soul back into her body, and then Yakumo Aoi and Youyouko will listen to him.
It's also thanks to Xiangbei's high moral standards. After all, Yakumo Yukari's soul is in his hands, and it has been confirmed by them. And given how important Yakumo Yukari is to the two of them, no matter what Xiangbei asks Yakumo Lan and Youyouko to do, even if it's some things in the book scene... they will definitely do it.
Hmm... Actually, Xiangbei still has some thoughts in this regard. After all, although he has morals, his moral level is at a fluctuating level, and his moral bottom line is extremely flexible.
As a young man full of vigor and ambition, there's nothing you can do about having thoughts about that kind of thing, right?
