Hu Yue made the promise very seriously.

Realistically speaking, she is indeed more suited to do this now.

Everyone has their own expertise, and she wasn't the kind of fool who just blindly charged forward, so she naturally accepted and agreed with Song Mengmeng and the others' arrangements.

Finding the entrance to the Ruins of Return in the South China Sea is no easy task for the average person.

Hu Yue had originally planned to discuss with Master Du Kong after she returned home, to see if she could use her connections in the upper echelons of the world to persuade the Chinese to provide support. However, after they got off the plane in Nanhai City, Hu Yue suddenly remembered that there was another kind of ability in this world called the power of money.

The giant cruise ship that Emperor Yan had arranged was already docked at the port of Nanhai City. Everything was ready and waiting for Emperor Yan and his entourage to board.

"..."

Okay!

Hu Yue swallowed the suggestion that was on the tip of her tongue; it was true that poverty limited her imagination!

Seeing that Emperor Yan had arranged everything perfectly, Hu Yue did not linger any longer. Following the previous plan, she did not even leave the airport, but boarded the plane to Xijing to meet Master Du Kong.

Song Mengmeng and her group did not stay in Nanhai City. They boarded the cruise ship and set off again, heading deeper into the South China Sea.

Because the cruise ship had been requisitioned by order of the Yama Emperor, at this moment, apart from the staff, only a few people remained on board.

"Don't worry, there will definitely be more guests coming later!"

Seeing that Song Mengmeng looked a little bored on the deck, Gu Qi couldn't help but laugh and tease her, "Maybe it's an old acquaintance!"

Song Mengmeng knew without guessing who the old acquaintance Gu Qi was referring to was.

This wasn't the first time those people had expressed their longing and curiosity about the Ruins of Return. Now that they knew they were going there, how could they possibly give up such an opportunity?!

So when the helicopter carrying Shuten and his group landed on the helipad, the little girl wasn't surprised at all.

It seems they had a strained collaboration before, and this time when Shuten came, he also brought three other companions with him.

She had seen the Great Tengu before, but the other two figures hidden in cloaks had a rather unfamiliar aura.

"Ms. Song, it's a pleasure to see you again."

Because he was somewhat familiar with Song Mengmeng, Shuten came forward to greet her without saying a word.

Despite Shuten's enthusiasm, Song Mengmeng showed little interest. She stared at Shuten for a while before slowly voicing her question: "I've never quite understood why you're all so interested in Guixu!"

It is you, the cherry blossom country, who have always wanted to sever ties with China!

But while they cry and shout that they have nothing to do with China, they don't give up any opportunity to squeeze benefits out of China!

You people are really...

Tsk!

The girl's words were quite disrespectful to Shuten-dōji.

However, Shuten-dōji, who was used to the girl's personality, wasn't angry. In fact, he seemed to be in a very good mood, looking at Song Mengmeng with an undiminished smile: "It's just that there are some things I want to figure out."

"No matter what, the gods of your Sakura Kingdom shouldn't go to the Ruins of Return!"

"You're not thinking that the corpse of the Yamata no Orochi you want to resurrect is in the Ruins of Guixu, are you?!" Song Mengmeng tilted her head, sizing up Shuten-dōji, and after a long while slowly revealed her speculation.

Shuten-dōji's busy efforts revealed only one main purpose.

But reviving Orochi is no easy task!

That's why he would stop at nothing, and even had designs on Chi You before!

Although he said last time that he didn't have many thoughts about it anymore, who knows how credible his words are?!

What if it's fake?!

Therefore, we should not let our guard down around such people.

While mentally giving Shuten-dōji a negative score, Song Mengmeng was losing interest and decided to leave, not wanting to waste any more time talking to Shuten-dōji.

However, Shuten-dōji clearly had no intention of ending the conversation.

He called out to Song Mengmeng, who had turned to leave, and said in a low voice, "Your purpose in going to Guixu is to completely eliminate those possessed monsters, right?!"

"Don't be so hostile to me! The reason I know these things is not because I'm spying on your whereabouts, but because the kind of thing you encountered has already ravaged our Sakura Country."

Seeing the sudden murderous intent in Song Mengmeng's eyes, Shuten-dōji, not wanting to cause any trouble at this time, quickly explained, "You should have heard that our Sakura Country is a country without gods."

Amaterasu and the others eventually abandoned the mortal world and returned to Takamagahara.

The reason this happened is because of those things we encountered back then.

They can not only take over human bodies, but also replace gods and seize their divine status!

Ultimately, to save themselves, the gods were forced to relinquish their rule over the world, return to Takamagahara (the Plain of Heaven), and seal off the passage from Takamagahara to the mortal realm.

To put it nicely, it's about not wanting to get involved in worldly affairs anymore; to put it bluntly, it's about not being able to take it anymore and just running away...

It's embarrassing, it's definitely somewhat embarrassing.

But it's better than losing your life!

Now that things had come to this point, Shuten-dōji stopped hiding his feelings and bluntly recounted all the past events to Song Mengmeng, almost like a rant.
