"I can see the light of day again, thanks to him—!"
Lihua fluttered her crow-feather eyelashes, looked at Wang Jueyi, then at the Yin-Yang Master, her face full of confusion.
"Sir, Lihua doesn't understand..."
The Yin Yang Master chuckled, seemingly explaining something to Lihua, but his eyes were fixed on Qingshan.
"Knowing my life was coming to an end, I forged the long sword Muramasa and sealed my soul within it. Before I died, I established a rule that the Muramasa should be passed down as the sword of the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect's leader. As long as the sword is in the hands of the people, it must not be passed on to outsiders. If someone ever visits the Tsuchimikado family with a fox-shaped mutton-fat jade pendant, the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect will treat him as if he were seeing me, and will hand the Muramasa over to him."
"According to our plan, that man should have retrieved Muramasa hundreds of years ago, but who knew he'd run into trouble and still be stuck? Haha, interesting!"
As he spoke, the Onmyoji seemed to remember something interesting, his eyes fixed on where Aoyama was standing, and looked further away.
"Sir, what happened next?"
"I set a five-element seal on myself back then. To unlock it, I must gather the energy of the five elements: wood, fire, earth, metal, and water, and have Muramasa absorb it. Then, I must inject a stream of pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth."
Lihua pondered. In order to refine her true body, she had once instructed Kakuichi to find the five elements materials. Could it be that this was why the master broke the seal? No, the five elements materials were still with Kakuichi and had never come into contact with Muramasa!
The onmyoji in white glanced at the bag on Wang Jueyi's waist with his fox eyes, revealing a cunning and teasing expression.
"When I set the seal, I also left myself a backup plan. If that person couldn't make it, I could still escape on my own, but it would take a while longer. The Muramasa can break barriers and prohibitions. Whenever the Nine Chrysanthemum Sect's leaders wanted to break a barrier, they would usually choose to use the Muramasa. After all, the essence of a barrier is the energy field of the five elements. Unfortunately, over the past few hundred years, cultivation has declined, and magic has faded. The Muramasa has been able to break very few barriers, so the energy it absorbed was not enough to allow my soul to break the seal. Until twelve years ago, the Muramasa suddenly gained two pure energies, water and wood."
Wang Jueyi shuddered all over: Wasn’t it twelve years ago when he killed the water and wood dual-element Qilin?
"Wang Jueyi, tell us about what happened back then!"
Wang Jueyi quickly responded, raised his upper body, and answered respectfully:
"Twelve years ago, I accidentally discovered that a Chinese supernatural being with dual water and wood elements had some peculiarities. He also had a space similar to the Ruyi Medicine Bracelet, but it was much smaller. All space magic tools contain Xirang, and Lady Lihua just needed Xirang to reshape her true form. So I used illusion to lure that person to a secluded place, cut open his body with Muramasa, and took out the Xirang. Unfortunately, the quality of that person's magic tool was too low, and the Xirang was only the size of the little finger nail. I quickly returned home after obtaining the Xirang, and even the Chinese Qilin could not find any substantial evidence. I was able to successfully complete my mission thanks to the blessing of this magical weapon Muramasa!"
Wang Jueyi finished speaking and leaned forward again, while the Yin-Yang Master nodded and added:
"Well, since that person is a dual-element esper, his blood contains a large amount of water and wood energy. Muramasa sucked the blood out of his body, and the water and wood energy was stored."
After hearing what Wang Jueyi said, Qingshan realized that such a tragedy had happened twelve years ago. The old man was really evil and deserved to die!
"The Chinese warriors I encountered in front of the Niangniang Temple gave Muramasa fire energy, the Azure Dragon barrier contained gold energy, and the young man in the Jiaolong Hall provided earth energy. Finally, the five elements of energy were fully integrated and abundant, allowing me to manifest myself."
Hearing this, Wang Jueyi couldn't help but ask, "Sir, didn't you say that you still need pure spiritual energy from heaven and earth?"
"Haha, have you forgotten what you did on Taiwan Island five years ago?"
Wang Jue suddenly realized that the dragon vein of Taiwan Island was destroyed and some of the overflowing spiritual energy was absorbed by Muramasa. No wonder the earthquake in Taiwan Island was not as severe as he expected and not many people died!
