Chapter 287 Shielding the Prophecy
Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Hyuga Kyou quietly wiped the Kusanagi Maru in her hands.
Although his heart was full of anger and guilt, he was not swayed by this negative emotion, but tried his best to restrain the spreading killing intent in his heart.
The gentle wind blew his body, making his mind more and more calm.
In the ninja world, blindness and underestimation are the biggest enemies of ninjas.
No matter what you do, you must have a clear goal, and Hyuga Kyou's goal in coming to the country of ghosts this time is not to kill indiscriminately, but to find the whereabouts of the witch.
Looking in the direction of the Miko's Palace, Hyuga Kyou's expression gradually became condensed.
As night fell, rows of lights were already lit in the palace in the distance. Although the followers of Huangquan Sect were still patrolling, the gap between the queues was undoubtedly much larger than that in the daytime. The mirror can sneak in more easily.
But Hyuga Kyou still did not act, still waiting patiently.
As the night got darker, the formation of the patrols in the palace began to be a little disorganized, and the guards at the various sentries also yawned one after another.
"it's time!"
Hyuga Kyou slowly got up, and then she swayed and disappeared in place.
He was like a dark shadow, sneaking in the shadow of the wall, crossing one post after another, dodging one team after another of guards, and in just a moment, he sneaked into the palace.
Hyuga Kyou also lived in this palace of the witch for a period of time. Although she is not familiar with the layout of the palace, it is not a black eye.
After sneaking into the palace, he leaned against a dark corner and thought to himself, "The witch's residence is the core area of the entire palace, so let's go there first!"
After passing through several corridors, Hyuga Kyou found a group of followers of Huangquan Sect guarding the passage leading to the witch's residence.
Hyuga Kyo's eyes narrowed, and she slowly pulled out Kusanagi Maru from her waist.
Sa...
In a gust of wind breaking, Hyuga Kyou turned into a black shadow and rushed up.
shhhhhh...
With a few cold sword lights flashing, each and every Huangquan cultivator fell to the ground in a dazed look.
"enemy..."
The little leader of Huang Quanjiao, who was at the very center of the team, just opened his mouth to give a loud warning. Kusanagi Maru, who let go of Hyuga Kyou, shot him like a kunai, and stabbed him in his mouth impartially. , let his exclamation stop abruptly!
After taking out the Kusanagi Pill from the mouth of the little head of the Huangquan Sect, Hyuga Kyou swung it away, shaking off the steaming blood on the blade, and walked towards the witch's residence with an indifferent expression.
Before arriving at the witch's residence, Hyuga Kyou slowly opened the door full of sealing techniques.
After pushing the door open, he did not rush to enter, but stood outside the door and carefully observed the scene inside the house with Tensei Eyes.
In Tenseikan's field of vision, there is no half-person figure in the house, and there is no trace of chakra in the house. The bed, furnishings, etc. in the house seem to be business as usual.
"no one...?"
Hyuga mirror frowned, slightly surprised.
He thought that even if he couldn't see the witch herself here, he should be able to see Huang Quan, the leader of the Huangquan Sect occupying the palace, but he didn't think about it, and it was empty.
With Kusanagi pill in hand, Hyuga Kyou walked slowly into the house, but as soon as he entered the house, he felt something was wrong and immediately looked up at the roof.
The roof of the witch's residence is very high. The height of the shrine is at least twelve meters, and it is as high as three or four stories. In the center of the dome is a crystal chandelier, and the chandelier is shining with a magnificent brilliance.
If it was someone else, he might not notice anything different, but Hyuga Kyou with Tensei Eyes is different.
In the vision of Hyuga Kyou Tenseikan, the crystal chandelier hanging in the center of the dome obviously contains a soft energy. This energy seems to be a mixture of chakra and natural energy. The dragon vein chakra in the magic weapon is very similar.
wow...
Just as Hyuga Kyo was about to jump onto the dome and look carefully at the crystal chandelier, a golden light suddenly shot out from the crystal chandelier. At the same time, a familiar figure from Hyuga Kyo came out of the golden light.
This figure is not someone else, it is the witch of the land of ghosts!
Staring at the phantom of the ghostly witch in the land of ghosts, Hyuga Kyou asked cautiously, "Your Highness, this is..."
The witch explained: "This is my spirit body."
"Spiritual body!?" After being stunned for a while, Hyuga Kyou's face darkened: "I'm sorry, I didn't fulfill the promise."
The so-called 'spirit body' is actually another name for the soul, excluding special circumstances, the witch appears in the state of the soul at this time, which means that she is mostly dead.
And this undoubtedly made Hyuga Kyou feel very guilty. If he had completely killed Huang Quan as promised, maybe, the witch would have escaped the catastrophe.
Upon seeing this, the witch smiled and said, "You don't have to worry too much, it's all doomed!"
Hyuga Kyou asked, "Did you predict something?"
"Well, more than a month ago, I predicted my own death." After a pause, the witch smiled again: "Actually, as early as a few years ago, that is, when the ghosts devastated the country of ghosts, I predicted that One of my own death, but because of your appearance, my prophecy is invalid."
"What, that time you also predicted your own death?"
It was only at this moment that Hyuga Kyou realized why the priestess always mentioned that she would perish with the sprites at that time.
The witch nodded and said, "Well, the prophecy was invalid that time because of your appearance, but this time, it has come true. So you don't have to blame yourself too much, because of you, I have been with Shion for a few more years, and I have been very happy. Satisfied!"
The witch is very clear that Hyuga Kyou has no obligation to stay in the country of ghosts to protect her, so she does not resent Hyuga Kyou, and even appreciates Hyuga Kyou for letting her escape the first death prophecy, and spends a few more years with her daughter Shion.
Hyuga Kyou sighed: "Your soul resides here, are you waiting for me?"
The witch smiled: "Yes, I know you will definitely come."
Hyuga Kyou asked curiously, "You predicted that I would come?"
The witch shook her head, pointed to the gourd magic weapon on the waist of Hyuga mirror, and said, "With it by your side, I can't predict anything related to you!"
Hyuga mirror unexpectedly glanced at the gourd magic weapon around her waist and said, "Is it because of the dragon veins?"
The witch replied: "Well, your dragon veins contain a lot of natural energy, which can almost be regarded as a part of nature, and prophecies can only be aimed at individuals, but cannot spy on nature, so as long as it is by your side, any No prophecy can spy on your fate!"
After patting the gourd magic weapon, Hyuga Kyou asked, "So, it can block all prophecies for me?"
The first one, ask for a recommendation ticket, a monthly ticket!
