“Where are we going?”
Kikyo watched him walk towards the back mountain, her heart filled with doubts.
Su Han spoke, “I’m going to see if I can find a powerful protector.”
Although the city belonged to Kikyo, this world would eventually be explored.
The subordinates he cultivated now would become his helpers in the future.
Also, there was another reason.
Su Han couldn’t do everything himself. There were so many worlds in the Multiverse, he couldn’t stay in this one forever. Cultivating subordinates was naturally the best option.
They soon arrived at a cave.
Kikyo noticed the powerful barrier at the entrance of the cave, and she quickly remembered what this place was.
“You want to find Kaede, but she’s clearly dead.”
“So what? As long as there is a soul.”
Su Han gently pointed a finger, and the powerful barrier shattered like a spider web. The originally dim cave was quickly illuminated by his power.
They continued to the end of the cave.
A statue made of countless yokai and miko corpses stood before them.
Kikyo looked at the miko who had not escaped the clutches of the yokai even in death, and her emotions were complex.
“Perhaps this is the fate of the miko.”
If Inuyasha hadn't been there, if Su Han hadn’t been there.
Her ultimate fate would have been no different from Kaede's.
Su Han sensed and found that a wisp of Kaede’s soul still existed within her corpse. However, her energy was incredibly weak, and she could fade away at any time.
“Just in time.”
He spread out his five fingers towards the corpse, and a white spiritual energy formed into a hand, quickly flying into it.
Inside the corpse.
Kaede's soul was on the verge of death. If not for the fear that the yokai’s residual soul would run out and harm the human world, she would have given up resisting long ago.
Then a gentle light came, wrapping around her tightly. Though Kaede didn’t know who discovered her, her subconscious told her she was already dead.
Even if someone wanted to save her, it would be useless.
Soon, Kaede’s soul followed the white hand and flew towards the outside world.
Whoosh.
A nearly transparent soul body was successfully extracted.
“This is Kaede's soul? She actually didn't die?”
“Yes, just a remnant soul. To make her work for me, there are still some things to do…”
Pulling out the soul was just the first step. Next, Su Han brutally pulled out all the yokai souls, then used magic to shatter them into pure soul energy, and then injected them all into Kaede's body.
The nearly transparent soul body, after being nourished, became condensed at a visible rate.
Kaede stood in the air, looking at the two figures in front of her with confusion, and said in a daze, "Who are you... I... who am I..."
“She lost her memory?”
“No. It's just a soul deficit. The real challenge comes next!”
Su Han took out the newly obtained Shikon Jewel and squeezed it hard.
Crack.
A light, crisp sound echoed.
The Shikon Jewel, which had impacted the fate of the entire world, was thus crushed into powder by him.
Seeing that Kaede’s soul hadn't appeared, Su Han had expected this. He sneered, “There really is a mastermind behind this, tsk tsk... but this little power isn’t enough for me.”
“Break for me!”
Spiritual energy turned into sharp blades, easily destroying the hidden seal within the fragments of the Shikon Jewel.
Countless impure souls flew out wildly from within.
Kikyo saw thousands of yokai souls appearing, and her heart was startled. Why were there so many souls appearing out of nowhere.
The souls, having gained freedom, wanted to escape from here.
But as soon as they appeared, their soul bodies were shattered into countless pieces by an unimaginable force.
Soul Transformation and Spirit Reversal Formation.
This was a formation that Su Han had comprehended through the Tongtian Scroll. Its purpose was to tear apart souls and convert them into pure soul energy.
After about a minute.
A soul of Kaede finally appeared in the air.
“Finally out? Since that's the case, let’s merge.”
Su Han summoned the two identical souls, and they merged into one.
As for the soul energy within the formation, under his control, it was refined into pure soul crystals.
Soul crystals are extremely powerful supplements for souls, and of course, they have an incredibly powerful nourishing effect on human souls.
The fusion process lasted for ten minutes.
Under the nourishment of large amounts of pure soul energy, Kaede slowly opened her eyes and finally woke up.
Looking at the man and woman standing in front of her, she knelt on one knee.
“Thank you for your help. If it weren’t for you, Kaede might have been imprisoned in that evil soul cage forever.”
Kikyo hurriedly waved her hand and said, “It wasn’t me who saved you, it was Su Han’s efforts. He did it all alone…”
Kaede realized and quickly turned to thank him again.
Su Han accepted it calmly and said to her, “Do you want to work for me? Your body has already decayed, but if you work for me, I can grant you rebirth in the future. I can even help you take revenge.”
Kaede immediately said without any hesitation upon hearing that she could be reborn, “Miko Kaede, I pledge my allegiance to you!”
