"I am the Nine-Tailed Celestial Fox." Daji remained silent for a while before speaking in a low voice, with an unquestionable certainty: "My homeland has always been Xuanyuan Tomb."
Because of the Investiture of the Gods, I was disliked by the goddess and was punished, which destroyed my thousand years of cultivation, forcing me to start all over again!
However, this is nothing. For us demons to cultivate and attain enlightenment, the trials we need are far more than just heavenly lightning! Later, I continued to cultivate diligently, but just as I was about to transform into a nine-tailed demon, I was ambushed. When I regained my senses, I was already on a large ship bound for the Sakura Kingdom.
I don't know where those people want to take me!
However, the monsters in the Land of Cherry Blossoms were so weak back then that it was laughable! Those bald monks thought that by sealing me in a box, they could completely control me. They were truly blind!
Since I had nothing better to do at the time, I went along with them and went to the land of cherry blossoms.
You probably know what happened next!
Honestly, it's not that I want to cause trouble for the Japanese royal family, but they've just gone too far!
It seemed he hadn't found someone to confide in for a long time, and once Daji started talking, he clearly couldn't stop. As he rambled on about his past to Song Mengmeng, he naturally made her understand why this nine-tailed fox demon harbored such deep resentment towards the resurrection of the Yamata no Orochi!
In truth, the sorcerer monk who took Daji to the Sakura Kingdom was actually planning to use the power of demons to revive the Yamata no Orochi.
That demonic monk was quite powerful, so he brought back quite a few monsters from China on his trip.
This monster's plan was to use the blood of these captured monsters to awaken the resonance of the Yamata no Orochi's spirit sealed within the Kusanagi Sword, thereby breaking free from the sword's suppression and allowing the Yamata no Orochi to descend upon the world once more.
However, before he could put his plan into action, Daji, who knew about it early on, ruined it.
He had originally only planned to travel to Japan and then return to China, but after learning about the evil monk's plans, he no longer wanted to leave!
He first released the little demons who had been captured by the evil monk, and then he began his specialty: revenge.
He turned the country upside down without expending much effort at all.
Such actions naturally drew the ire of the entire Sakura Kingdom and the retaliation of the Yokai World after their wishes were shattered!
"I was later besieged and sealed in the Killing Stone because I was exhausted. I thought I would be sealed in that stone forever and would never be able to escape and return to China. But I didn't expect that those fools in the Sakura Kingdom would open a shrine for me and write me into the list of monsters as a great monster. I became the second greatest monster in the Sakura Kingdom after the Yamata no Orochi!" Daji finally couldn't help but laugh out loud when she said this.
Such worship caused the power of faith to flow continuously into his sealed body, eventually giving him the strength to break the seal and return to freedom!
"I originally thought that those monsters would obediently accept their fate after their previous failures! But I didn't expect them to still be so persistent, and this time they actually came directly to the Flower Kingdom with such a disgusting purpose!" Daji sneered, her disgust for the Sakura Kingdom making her originally beautiful face look particularly gloomy and murderous: "Fine, this time we'll make sure they don't leave alive!"
"I've heard that the Kusanagi Sword has the power to kill gods." Song Mengmeng frowned slightly, somewhat worried about the trouble she might encounter if they were to confront it head-on: "Even we Pixiu are a little unsure about what to do when faced with something like this!"
Besides, since that thing is so dangerous, wouldn't it be better to just destroy it this time?!
Why give them another chance to come back?!
"To destroy the Kusanagi Sword, we need the power to completely sever and melt it!" Daji said as she drove, analyzing the feasibility of the plan with Song Mengmeng: "Where are we going to find such a weapon to confront it in such a short time?!"
"I remember you said before that you've been living in Xuanyuan Tomb?" Song Mengmeng leaned against the back of the car seat, smiling as she watched Daji's expression change drastically in the rearview mirror because of her words. Without any hesitation, she continued, "Or, shall we go and dig it up?!"
"Why would you go dig up Xuanyuan's grave for no reason?!" Daji shuddered. Although she was a thousand-year-old fox demon, her nine-tailed fox had been broken and regenerated, and she had escaped death countless times, she still couldn't help but be startled by Song Mengmeng's suggestion.
Even if he was born in Xuanyuan Tomb, he has always lived on the outer perimeter, while the inner part is filled with killing intent and forbidden spells. Even if he had a hundred times the courage now, he would never take the initiative to rush in!
He remembered that a long time ago, there was a wolf demon with considerable strength in Xuanyuan Tomb. It had a wild ambition to enter Xuanyuan Tomb to search for treasures, but before it even got close to the altar entrance, it was burned to ashes by heavenly fire that fell from the sky...
Even though his spiritual energy was depleted at this moment, he had been to Xuanyuan Tomb quite a few times before. The pressure emanating from near the entrance of the altar had not diminished at all with the passage of time; on the contrary, it had become even stronger!
"Of course, it's to destroy the Heavenly Cloud Sword!" Song Mengmeng tilted her head matter-of-factly, and the ahoge on her head swayed with a hint of smugness: "Just tell me, do you want to give those annoying crawlers a fatal blow?"
If we can destroy the Kusanagi-no-Tsurugi, it will be equivalent to permanently severing their hopes. Just imagine the expressions on their faces then—they'll be absolutely priceless!
"Then why must we dig up Xuanyuan's tomb?" It has to be said, because of Song Mengmeng's enticement, Daji shamefully felt tempted. If it were anything else, it wouldn't be so bad, but the thought of seeing those monsters from the Cherry Blossom Kingdom suffer was almost too much for him!
But as eager as it may be, why is this Pixiu so stubbornly fixated on Xuanyuan Tomb?!
"You've lived in Xuanyuan Tomb for so long, at least a thousand or two thousand years, right?! Haven't you ever thought about why the aura at the center of the altar in Xuanyuan Tomb is so heavy? No matter how strong your demon power is, you monsters will surely die if you get close!" Song Mengmeng sighed, looking at Daji with disdain, and after a long while, she answered his question with a hint of helplessness: "Because of the Xuanyuan Sword, you idiot!"
