Kikyo listened for a while, then asked with confusion, "What soul cage, what revenge... I don't understand anything at all?"
The Shikon no Tama was not created by Tsui-ko personally to seal demons.
Why would it be called a soul cage?
What is going on?
Seeing her confusion, Su Han explained, "Don't you understand? Tsui-ko was tricked. The so-called Shikon no Tama is completely man-made."
By the way, you are the next target of the mastermind behind this.
You might think it's unlikely, but the truth is that the target is to use demons and priestesses to create the Shikon no Tama.
Tsui-ko's death is just the beginning, and you are her next target.
Otherwise, think about it. Why has the Shikon no Tama been inactive for so many years after Tsui-ko died? Why did it suddenly appear when you were just starting your training?
There's no such thing as coincidence in the world.
If you still don't believe me, just think about a useless creature like Onigumo, how could he possibly create something like Naraku."
Kikyo felt a chill down her spine. She never imagined that anyone would target demons and priestesses.
But what was the purpose of that person?
To be able to command so many demons and remain undetected.
Kikyo suddenly turned to Su Han and blurted out, "Could it be the Onmyoji of Heian-kyo?"
"I don't know, but... I hope he doesn't cause me any trouble. Otherwise, he'll regret it. Now, let's go back. While we have time, I want to study that sacred tree..."
Su Han didn't bother to think about who the mastermind was. As long as he didn't provoke him, it was fine.
.
A few minutes ago.
Heian-kyo.
In a magnificent courtyard.
A beautiful Onmyoji with a demonic face was practicing in meditation. Above his head, a bead was constantly releasing spiritual energy.
Suddenly, the bead trembled violently and then shattered into countless pieces.
The demonic man heard the commotion and opened his eyes abruptly.
When he saw the bead completely destroyed, he was instantly furious.
"Who!"
"Who dares to ruin my Abe no Seimei's good deeds!"
After discovering the decline in spiritual energy, Abe no Seimei had been constantly thinking of countermeasures. Through his dedicated research, he finally discovered something.
When a corrupt and filthy soul is entangled with a pure and sacred soul, they create unimaginable spiritual energy!
So, Abe no Seimei devised the plan of the Shikon no Tama.
Then he succeeded.
He even frequently sent demons to spread the news of the Shikon no Tama after Tsui-ko's death.
Under Abe no Seimei's manipulation, countless demons and innocent people have become sacrifices for the Shikon no Tama.
Now that the Shikon no Tama is destroyed, how can he not be angry?
Abe no Seimei's eyes were cold as he said, "Let me see which bastard dared to ruin my good deed..."
He immediately began to calculate.
"Pu!"
As soon as his magic began to operate, he vomited a mouthful of blood. His originally demonic face became deathly pale.
"Impossible! How can there be someone who can't be calculated by me, Abe no Seimei."
"I even suffered a backlash."
"Even the lord of hell died under that dog demon's hand in my calculations. There is no one in this world that I can't calculate."
Abe no Seimei completely lost his sanity.
He continued to use his divination magic, but as soon as this thought arose, the chaotic spiritual energy within his body began to rampage. The sudden change was unexpected.
For a time, demon power, spiritual energy, and soul power all mixed together.
Abe no Seimei was terrified by this situation.
For over a hundred years, he had relied on the Shikon no Tama for cultivation and had never made any mistakes. How could this be happening today?
Abe no Seimei tried to remedy the situation, but it was too late.
Now he could only watch helplessly as his body collapsed and disintegrated.
"No... This shouldn't be..."
Abe no Seimei let out a desperate cry and soon died in his own dojo.
When his bound shikigami noticed something wrong with their master, they wanted to help, but it was too late.
The shikigami looked at the Onmyoji who had perished, and there was no sadness in their hearts. They cheered happily.
"Hahaha, we're finally free!"
"This damn bastard is finally dead. It's a good thing the heavens had mercy on us!"
On the outer edge of the shikigami.
A certain shikigami with the appearance of a stoic girl asked her companion, "Now that we're free, should we leave? Kagura..."
"Yeah, we don't have to do bad things anymore. It feels so good. Kamui..."
The charming woman named Kagura replied with a happy expression.
...
枫之村. Fēng zhī cūn. (Maple Village)
Seeing Su Han and his sister return with a beautiful female warrior, Xiao Feng rushed over immediately.
"Big brother, sister, you're back. This beautiful sister is..."
"She's Tsui-ko. She'll be living with you from now on, in charge of the city's security and training."
Su Han briefly explained what had just happened.
Xiao Feng was speechless. She even began to doubt whether she had seen the future direction of the world. Why hadn't she noticed anything wrong with the Shikon no Tama?
