Chapter 281 The Memory of the Palace Secretary and the Truth About Zhu Chijingjie

[You have been contaminated with the ninth level of ‘karma fire’! 】

[You look at the dead body of the palace minister in front of you...]

['The extremely evil Tenmei Shrine Palace Priest': Because 'Canggu Tianyan' was infected by the evil god, its statue contained countless evil thoughts. The Shrine Palace Priest who worshiped the statue day and night was the first to be affected by the evil thoughts, and eventually fell into extremely evil ways. Become the general's right-hand man who corrodes the world. It died in the baptism of starlight. Phase: 117% (+55%)]

[Do you want to possess this body? 】

[You are possessed by the body of the ‘evil Tenmei Shrine Palace Priest’! 】

Lin Xun opened the panel to check the attributes of the palace lord. The quality of his body was similar to that of the president when he looked directly at him. However, his skills were more stretched. The highest level was only epic + level, which was far inferior to the president's starlight ultimate move.

[The memory in the Palace Master’s body has recovered slightly...]

【……】

[You have only now understood that the real god is not Yama, but the extremely evil god who controls everything in the world! 】

[Compared with the God of Extreme Evil, neither the defeated ‘Chaos Source Dragon’ nor the victor ‘Canggu Tianyan’ are worth mentioning. They are just pawns of the extremely evil God. 】

[Fortunately, you woke up early and became a loyal believer of the extremely evil god, otherwise you might still be kept in the dark. 】

[You are not the only one who is wise. The supreme ruler of Sakuraluo, the General, has also joined the evil god's command and became the incarnation of the evil god walking in the world. 】

[You were summoned by the general as soon as you woke up. 】

[You entered the imperial palace and received the first mission given by the general...]

[It is a pole-shaped banner made of brocade bamboo, with gorgeous decorations made of fire ox tail and red phoenix and bird feathers hanging on the top. 】

[You are very familiar with this banner. In the past, envoys sent by the Zhu Chi Empire carried this banner in their hands. 】

[Compared to Yingluo, the Zhu Chi Empire has a more fanatical belief in the 'Cang Gu Tian Yan'. They claim to be the descendants of the God of Hell and believe that all gods except the 'Chaos Source Dragon' are descended from the 'Cang Gu Tian Yan'. 'Creation, so the three pillar gods and a group of minor gods are called 'sons of the true god'. 】

[Perhaps it is because of the Zhu Chi Empire’s fanatical piety that they have mastered the method of calling the ‘sons of the true god’. 】

[The ‘Zhu Chi Jing Jie’ is a sacrificial instrument used to call for the ‘sons of the true god’. People with fanatical beliefs can get a response from the ‘sons of the true god’ when they use the jing festival. 】

[The general tells you that the extremely evil god wants to assimilate everything in the world, and even the gods cannot let it go! 】

['God of Hell' and 'Dragon God' are both under the control of the evil god, and only some minor gods are running away and hiding in the void. 】

[Now we need you, a fanatical believer who has served Yama for many years, to use the banner in the main hall of the shrine to call for the 'son of the true god'. 】

[Your previous faith was extremely devout, and it is very likely that you will receive a response from the 'son of the true god'. 】

[If there is an evil god covering your aura, they will never expect that you are already a believer of the evil god, let alone that the evil god can also receive a response. 】

[After receiving the response, the evil gods can locate their hiding places and assimilate them! 】

[You are overjoyed when you hear this. You are willing to sacrifice everything for the extremely evil god. Being able to serve the god is a supreme honor! 】

[You carefully put away the banner, return to the main hall of the shrine, and call the gods under Yama as the general said...]

[Your 'piety' was responded to by the 'Son of the True God', but soon, the murmurs turned into painful and mournful wails... You know, the God of Extreme Evil has captured a hiding god as he wished. 】

[The mission is far from over...]

[The Zhuchi Empire may have never seen its envoys return, and the frequency of sending envoys has become more and more frequent, but how could the corrupt emperor know that the enemy they are struggling to resist has already secretly captured Yingluo. 】

[With the powerful power of the extremely evil god, how can the army accompanying the envoys be the opponent of the general? 】

[The frequency of envoys dispatched by the Zhuchi Empire is becoming more and more frequent, but the number of envoys is getting smaller and smaller. Until now, the general does not need to show up in person, and can send ninja thieves to annihilate the envoys and capture Zhuchi Jingjie. 】

【……】

[There are fewer and fewer ‘sons of the true god’ responding to you. Even if you use the banner to call for a long time, there will be no response. You know that there are not many surviving gods left. 】

[In the near future, when the evil god captures all the gods under the command of Yama, the extremely fierce lion of the Zhu Chi Empire will also perish...]

【……】

[The broken memory ends abruptly. 】

Lin Xun breathed a sigh of relief after reading the text.

It turns out that half of the truth of this chapter was already explained in the introduction when you first entered the chapter.

The key clue is hidden on the 'Zhuchi Jingjie' held by the envoy.

The prop for defeating the general is this seemingly useless ‘jingjie’.

[You go straight to the main shrine...]

【……】

[In front of the main hall, in the invisible and colorless barrier, a woman in white clothes and scarlet hakama stood there blankly with tears on her face. 】

[Suddenly I saw you resurrected from the dead appearing in front of me. My eyes widened for a moment, and I was so shocked that I couldn't speak. 】

[You use the 'Tamagaki Barrier Token' to wave away the barrier and tell it there is no need to make a fuss. As a descendant of the old god and the agent of the new god, feigning death and escaping is only one of your means. 】

[‘Yuecheng Ziye’ nodded in understanding. 】

Lin Xun opened the inventory, clicked on 'Evil Fruit', and then picked up the special equipment 'Zhuchi Jingjie'.

According to the method remembered by the palace minister, as long as you use the banner in the palace, you can call the 'son of the true god' and find helpers to defeat the general together.

[You are holding a dark and tiny fruit, and a banner decorated with fiery red decorations. 】

Lin Xun looked at the 'Pitch Black Fruit' displayed in the text, his heart suddenly shuddered, and he quickly terminated the operation.

A very frightening thought came to his mind. If he summoned the 'Sir of the True God' with the 'Evil Fruit', wouldn't the Evil God also discover it?

Moreover, the statues in this temple are now haunted by evil thoughts and filled with black energy. What is the difference between using banners and throwing yourself into a trap?

This special meow is equivalent to shouting at the "extremely evil consequences" that it's time to eat...

Lin Xun took his elder sister to the 'Branch Shrine' in the shrine, which contained the statues of the three pillar gods and a number of minor gods.

If you use the ‘Zhu Chi Jing Jie’ here, you might get a response from the gods.

【……】

[The neat rows of statues of gods in front of them are brightly painted and lifelike, and they don’t seem to be infected by evil thoughts. 】

[You hold the ‘Zhu Chi Jing Jie’ in front of the statue and pray, but you don’t receive any response...]

[You prayed to a different statue, but nothing unusual happened...]

[You can pray to another statue...]

【……】

[‘Yuecheng Ziye’ looks at you doubtfully and asks you why. 】

[You tell it the effect of the ‘Zhuchijing Festival’ and explain that it is a call to the surviving gods. With the help of the gods, you can defeat the incarnation of the evil god, the general. 】

[Unexpectedly, 'Yuecheng Ziye' stopped you from continuing to pray. It told you that the statues in the 'Branch Shrine' have no intelligence and are useless false statues. No matter how much you worship, they will not attract the attention of the gods. 】

[And the real statues of gods are probably like the God of Hell, filled with black energy and haunted by evil thoughts...]

[You fell into a long silence after hearing the words of ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’. 】

"……How to do this?"

Lin Xun recalled that the true appearance of the statue of 'Tiansui Sakidao' and the appearance of the two pillar god statues in the middle of the mountain at 'Wuzhi Shrine' were exactly the same as what the senior sister said.

[‘Moon City Purple Leaf’ also fell into deep thought, but it quickly thought of something and hurriedly told you...]

[Before the general ruled Sakura Fall, the various daimyo groups were divided into separate kingdoms. Although they also believed in Yama, the only orthodox followers of Yama were the Sakura Fall royal family...]

[If there is anyone in the world who can attract the attention of the gods without relying on the statues, then it is only the seven-year-old little emperor in the ‘Gosho Palace’! 】

[It’s just that the ‘Gosho Imperial Palace’ is guarded by a general. If you want to sneak into the palace, even with the escape skills of your master ‘Ninja Master’, you can’t escape the eyes of the general. 】

[Besides, the master is suffering from an old illness and is unable to come out again after the battle at the 'Wuzhi Shrine'...]

"I see, as long as we can find the little emperor..."

"Damn! Sneaking into the palace to find the young emperor... What is the difference between this and directly PKing with the general?"

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth, feeling like he was in a dead end.

After thinking hard for a long time, I couldn't find a clue.

Suddenly, he had an idea and thought of a very reliable method.

There is a general stationed in the palace, but as long as the general is lured out of the palace, wouldn't it be possible to sneak in smoothly?

There is also the body of the 'Swordsmith' in the body column, which is the perfect bait!

Lin Xun carefully considered the possibility of the plan and deduced how to lure the snake out of the hole.

But after thinking about it, I also felt that this plan was impossible to realize.

The farther away the general is, the better. The farthest distance is the "Fukang City Port" where there are resting pages.

After seducing the general here, you can use the resting page to teleport to Qianhui City instantly.

Then he used Tanlang Xingjun's sword to fly and rushed to the palace at full speed.

The flaw in planning is time!

From the previous dog walking behavior, it was known that the general's arrival at Fukang City from the palace at full speed took less than half an hour.

While the general was on his way, Lin Xun's switching of other bodies would cause the general to lose his target and return to the palace.

So he had to see the general at the port before he could teleport to the palace... But with Lord Greedy Wolf Star's sword-wielding speed, it would take more than half an hour to reach Kyoto from Qianhui City.

It means that before he arrived in Kyoto, the general had already returned to the palace.

"...There's no solution to this at all."

[The 'Yuecheng Ziye' beside you suddenly said, Lord Advocate, if you can lure away the general and escape with the help of suspended animation... why not let your concubine sneak into the imperial palace to find the little emperor for you? 】

[Don’t forget, it’s not just a miko, it’s a ninja! 】

[Do you want to agree to the plan of ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’? 】

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth.

Senior sister, it’s not that I look down on you. Although your ninjutsu is very good compared to your milk capacity, there are so many masters in the palace that just one ‘Hatamoto Samurai’ is enough to knock you down.

If someone discovers your infiltration, I will have to burn paper for you today next year.

[You decisively reject the proposal of ‘Yuecheng Ziye’. 】

[When it saw your contemptuous gaze, it suddenly became clear in its heart. 'Moon City Purple Leaf' suddenly turned around, and the figure in white clothes and scarlet hakama disappeared without a trace. 】

[A flash of sword light suddenly strikes you. You raise your sword to block it, trying to neutralize the woman's blow. When the swords meet, you don't have any strength in your attack. 】

[You were startled, you held the sword secret with your hand, and the 'Dragon Sword Authentic' flew behind you to block the sword light coming from behind. 】

[Unexpectedly, the sword light behind him was also a false move, and a brilliant sword light bloomed in front of his eyes...]

[When the light of the sword is extinguished, 'Tachi Uzuki Onikiri' stands between you and 'Moon City Purple Leaf'. 】

[One hit failed, and its figure suddenly appeared. 】

[It looked at the 'Ryuuken Masamune' that fell to the ground, then at the 'Uzuki Kigiri' floating in the air, then at you, and then slumpedly put down the 'Onaginata' in its hand. 】

[You easily defused the sneak attack of 'Moon City Purple Leaf', and estimated in your mind that its strength is half that of the ninja master, maybe higher...]

[You look at ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’, which wants to prove its power, but your confidence is shattered. Do you want to agree to its plan? 】

"Game of Hell, do you think I will be fooled by you?"

If you let the elder sister sneak into the palace alone, she will probably be punished by the underworld game. In the end, the little emperor was not found, and a key plot character was lost.

[When you see this, you change the subject and tell Moon City Purple Leaf that all the followers of the evil god in Tianming Shrine have been killed, but this place is inextricably linked to the general and it is not advisable to stay for too long. 】

[After that, you hurried down the mountain with the ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’...]

While thinking about countermeasures, Lin Xun opened the items to check the trophies from defeating Gong Si.

After defeating Gong Si, he obtained an epic + level weapon called the 'Evil-dispelling Disaster Ring', which has the effect of greatly increasing the output of damage-like divine spells.

However, Lin Xun is not allowed to use Gong Si's body as his main body. He can go back to the library to sell this equipment and exchange it for a wave of spiritual health recovery.

['The General's Guard' (prop): A talisman shaped like a brocade bag, which contains a thumb-sized black seed, which contains a very strong aura of evil thoughts. This guard is a reward from the general to the palace minister. 】

[Using this prop, you will have a high probability of attracting the attention of ‘extremely evil consequences’. 】

"...What kind of suicide artifact is this?"

Lin Xun pouted, unable to complain.

【……】

[In the night, the grand city in the distance is looming, you and 'Moon City Purple Leaf' are about to arrive in Kyoto...]

[‘Yuecheng Ziye’ suddenly stopped and told you solemnly...]

[Your Majesty, I know very well that I am weak and cannot help you in your great cause of saving the common people. After thinking about it, there is only one way to help you...]

[It is widely rumored that Zhu Chi was raging in war and had no time to take care of Yingluo, so the general was able to avoid paying tribute and even secretly attacked Zhu Chi's envoys. However, people mostly thought that Zhu Chi was fighting with other countries...]

[Now, I know that Zhu Chi Kingdom is fighting against the evil god... I am willing to go to Zhu Chi alone, and ask the legendary Zhu Chi Immortal to help you kill the incarnation of the evil god - the general! 】

[The eyes of the woman in front of her are full of determination, like a moth flying into a flame. 】

【Do you want to go with ‘Moon City Purple Leaf’? 】

[You cannot go to the ‘Zhu Chi Empire’, this area is the content of Chapter 8 difficulty. 】

[You know that ‘Yuecheng Ziye’ has decided to leave, so it’s better to send him off than to keep him. With a long sigh, he solemnly bid farewell to him...]

【……】

['Yuecheng Ziye' turned around and left, but before taking two steps, she suddenly turned back and ran towards you, hugging you tightly...]

[The woman’s unwavering words rang in my ears. 】

[Sir, you must wait for me! 】

[The figure in white clothes and scarlet hakama turned around and disappeared... leaving only the faint fragrance in his arms. 】

Lin Xun was confused.

He didn't let 'Moon City Purple Leaf' leave. The whole process was an underworld game on full automation, just like watching a cartoon.

"Senior Sister, I'm leaving as soon as I say, at least we should have a meal together before leaving."
