Now that we see everything recorded on this scroll, we can understand why Chi You still has the vitality he has today.
In order to drive the demons from the abyss back to the realm of darkness, the emperor joined forces with the Yan Emperor and Chi You to wage a decisive battle against the demon army at Zhuolu.
Chi You was brave and invincible, leading the charge and quickly slaughtering the demon soldiers who came to meet him, leaving none alive!
However, those demons who did not want to return to the abyss were not to be underestimated, and with the Demon Lord's descent, the entire battle quickly turned against Chi You and his forces.
Ultimately, the emperor and his comrades were blessed by heaven and obtained a way to completely seal the Demon Lord—the Demon Lord did not have a physical body, and the simplest and most brutal way for him to come into this world was to possess someone else's body!
If we cannot shatter his demonic soul, merely harming his physical body in this world will not cause him any real damage!
This is what makes the Demon Lord so terrifying, but it also presents Chi You and his allies with an opportunity to break the deadlock.
If someone can lure the Demon Lord's demonic spirit into their own body and then seal it away, then the Demon Lord's soul will no longer be able to roam freely and wreak havoc on the world!
However, sealing the Demon Lord is no small matter; the souls of ordinary people are absolutely no match for the Demon Lord's demonic spirit.
In the end, Chi You chose to sacrifice himself without hesitation for the greater good of humanity!
He used his own body as a cage to imprison the Demon Lord's demonic spirit within his body!
The monsters were eventually driven back to the abyss, and humanity won a pyrrhic victory in this great war!
Because of his straightforward personality, Chi You was gradually ostracized and stigmatized after the deaths of the Emperor and the Yan Emperor. He was eventually repeatedly vilified and even turned into a demon god!
“Even if Chi You is incredibly powerful, after all these years, his seal will eventually break down!” Song Mengmeng sighed softly, thinking about the barrier she sensed when entering the underground palace, which had become almost completely ineffective. If they hadn't been involved in this matter and hadn't found the underground palace based on the information, the barrier probably wouldn't have lasted much longer and would have lost its power. And then…
Song Mengmeng didn't think too deeply about it; what she was worried about now was another issue.
If the barrier around this underground palace is already so loose, then other places are probably in no better shape! Therefore, in order to prevent the worst from happening, they still need to hurry.
"Regardless, the first thing we need to do now is to analyze where the next sealing point is."
Song Mengmeng put away the scroll and looked up at Hu Da: "If Shuten-dōji and his group really have designs on Chi You's body, then they should have some information about this matter!"
"See if you can get Jorogumo to step up her efforts and find out the information as soon as possible!"
However, the first person to bring news to Huda was not Jorogumo, whom she had completely controlled and released back to be an inside agent, but Hanabusaki, who, for some reason, had been pestering her ever since she first saw her.
"The incident at the back mountain of the pagoda temple, is it related to you?!" As soon as Hua Niao Juan arrived and saw Hu Da, she went straight to the point and asked.
To outsiders, it might just be a minor landslide, but to these monsters and people who know some magic, it was no small matter!
It's simply impossible to avoid being spied on and scrutinized.
Knowing that this news would inevitably lead to a series of speculations, Hu Da had no intention of admitting it. She shook her head and said quite confidently, "It has nothing to do with us."
"If it's not you, then who else could it be?!"
I secretly went to the site and saw that almost half of the Buddhist pagoda forest on the back mountain had been destroyed!
To ordinary people, those pagodas are nothing more than historical relics! But to the monks of the pagoda temple, they are the very soul of the temple!
Now, such an important place has been destroyed into a huge pit, and Master Dukong is acting as if nothing happened, saying that it is just a landslide and that everyone should not panic!
"I'm not stupid. Putting everything else aside, I can smell sandalwood on you! If this really had nothing to do with you, why would you smell like a Buddhist temple?!"
But Hua Niao Juan was not easily fooled. She easily found the flaw in Hu Da's words and relentlessly squeezed next to Hu Da, starting to pester her: "Fine, it doesn't matter if it's you or not!"
Anyway, I have no interest in what you're doing!
However, you'd better be careful from now on! Although I don't know what treasures you got from that collapsed underground palace, it's obvious that Shuten-dōji and the others have noticed you!
To be honest, Shuten-dōji is relatively easy to deal with; at least he knows his limits and won't act recklessly in front of the Chinese people. But Ōtengu, who's traveling with him, is a different story!
"Aren't they busy searching for the lost Kusanagi Sword right now?! How can they have the time to be distracted by us?!"
Hu Da raised an eyebrow. At a time like this, they still thought of coming to cause trouble here. They really had a lot of nerve!
"We definitely need to find the Kusanagi Sword, but that shouldn't stop them from finding the vessel to revive the Yamata no Orochi first! Let's do both at the same time!" Hana-chan chuckled, snatching the glass of juice that Hu Da had just poured. She tilted her head back and took two gulps, then turned to Hu Da with satisfaction, looking on for praise: "However, I have some new information. Apparently, we've found some clues about the whereabouts of the Kusanagi Sword!"
"Is that so?" Hu Da raised an eyebrow slightly. Although she was curious about the source of the information about this little monster, she did not really intend to exploit it to the fullest extent of the law.
No matter how harmless Hanabusa may seem, it doesn't change the fact that she's a monster!
Since she's a demon, she must possess some ability to protect herself! Perhaps the source of this information is part of her power!
"That's right! At first, I also thought the news was wrong, but after putting in more effort, I found out that the news was credible!"
"So, Lady Daji, guess who the whereabouts of the Kusanagi Sword is related to?!" Hana-no-Juan didn't care about Hu Da's absent-mindedness at all, and continued to tell her the new information she had just received with enthusiasm and excitement.
"Who is it?" Hu Da didn't like Hua Niao Juan keeping her in suspense, so she simply asked the question directly.
"Have you ever heard of Loki?!" Seeing that Huda was finally showing some interest in her question, Hana-chan stopped joking and asked her very seriously.
