If in the past, some people had said that they would slaughter their Iga Palace, I am afraid that no one would believe it.

However, now none of them dare to believe it.

Takeo Miyamoto, who was revered by them as the pillar of the empire and a generation of sword saints, has become a pile of white bones at this moment, who dares to have the courage to resist?

After a death-like silence, Miyamoto Sakura said slightly: "The person you want is in the underground palace!" ”

Li Chen didn't say anything, just stared at Miyamoto Sakura's eyes.

Miyamoto Sakura was stared at by Li Chen, but she didn't dare to take her eyes away, so as not to anger the killing god in front of her, so she had to collide with his gaze.

After a moment, Li Chen retracted his gaze and turned around and walked in the direction of the underground palace.

When his figure gradually disappeared into a black spot, an elder stepped forward tremblingly and asked, "Princess, Lord Sword Saint has broken the jade for the Empire, what should we do now?" ”

"Princess, General Yamamoto's 13th Division is stationed in Kawana Prefecture, 50 kilometers southwest of Mount Fuji, you can order him over!"

"Princess, the second elder is right. This Immortal Master Li is only in his early twenties, and he is already able to kill the Sword Saint Master. If he is allowed to grow again, the consequences will be unimaginable. It should have been killed sooner rather than later! ”

"Yes, princess, even if Immortal Master Li has the ability to defy the heavens, he is just flesh and blood. The 13th Division is equipped with all high-end weapons except for nuclear weapons. As long as they can be mobilized, this Immortal Master Li will definitely die without a place to be buried! ”

Hearing the advice of her subordinates, Miyamoto Sakura pondered for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Okay, give me the connection to the palace, I will report to Your Majesty, and ask him to decide!"

……

Li Chen walked to the door of the underground palace and suddenly felt that something was not quite right.

However, after thinking about it for a while, he decided to go in.

Moreover, Miyamoto Sakura's eyes told him that Zhao Yuqing was indeed in the underground palace.

After opening the door of the underground palace, a wave of heat greeted him, and the roasted people's faces were hot.

Li Chen sniffed his nose, and his expression became solemn.

There was a strong smell of blood in it!

Sensing this, Li Chen released his consciousness and investigated.

Zhao Yuqing's figure was not found, not even a living breath was found, but he saw corpses all over the ground.

Judging from the clothing, these people should all be disciples of Iga Omiya.

Moreover, it was just after death.

Strange, could it be that besides himself, there are outsiders who have entered this underground palace?

After a moment of silence, Li Chen quickly stepped forward to investigate.

These ten people were all blocked by a sword. It seems that they are all sword masters, and one of the swords is probably from the hand of the God Realm.

Moreover, the horror of his sword intent is probably not under the Dongying Sword Saint Miyamoto Takeo.

Thinking of this, Li Chen's face immediately appeared unprecedentedly solemn.

If the other party is an enemy, I am afraid that this is the most powerful enemy he has encountered since his rebirth, and he is even stronger than Takeo Miyamoto.

Now, he has just forcibly killed Takeo Miyamoto, and his true spiritual power is almost exhausted, and he is in a state of prostration, which is not conducive to hard fighting.

The best way to do this is to back down for a while. After recuperating and recharging, the winner will be decided.

However, there is not much time left for him now.

No matter whether the other party is friend or foe, as long as Zhao Yuqing is in their hands, they have to go on a journey.

Thinking of this, Li Chen looked up at the crater above his head.

Immediately, he violently lifted the true yuan, turned into a streamer, and rushed out like a white rainbow through the sun.

The top of Mt. Fuji is still covered with snow.

On the edge of the cliff, there is also a cherry tree more than 20 meters high.

The snow-white cherry blossoms are in full bloom. Tens of thousands of tree branches hang down, like a waterfall in the sea of flowers, flying down from the sky, which is extremely shocking.

However, if you look closely, you will have a creepy feeling.

Because, on this thousand-year-old cherry tree, there are not only cherry blossoms, but also white bones.

To be exact, they are the bones of a seven-year-old child.

There is a bad habit in Dongying, which is called the cherry blossom festival. [Note 1]

Generally speaking, every year around the Qingming Festival, a pair of seven-year-old boys and girls will be sacrificed to the mountain god.

The boys and girls who were sacrificed would hang alive on the branches of the cherry blossoms, and let the wind and snow devour their bodies.

It is said that it was not until the end of World War II that this bad habit was abolished in the open face with the intervention of the human rights activists of the United States.

The reason why it is explained is because Li Chen saw two children's bodies with physical bodies.

Obviously, this is the sacrifice that has just been sacrificed during the Qingming Festival this year.

Suddenly!

Li Chen's pupils shrank suddenly, and he saw a light green scarf on a branch.

This is the year before last, when Zhao Yuqing wanted to be her boyfriend for a day, she bought it for her.

The price is not expensive, only a few hundred dollars. But Zhao Yuqing has always regarded it as a treasure and wears it almost every day.

And now this silk scarf has appeared on the sacrificial cherry blossom tree.

Could it be that she has been sunny in the rain?

Thinking of this, Li Chen couldn't help but shudder. The creepy chill hit my heart in an instant.

Suddenly, the cold wind rises!

The branches of the cherry blossoms swayed in the wind, and the white bones of the forest collided with each other, emitting a chant from the ancient souls.

The flowers of the cherry trees, when to float

The seven sons sang and sank into sleep

The flower of the cherry tree, when will it die

The seven sons died, and the soul ascended to heaven

Hearing this ancient ballad, Li Chen's heart was a little dazed.

At this time, he felt like a lost child in the desert, and it seemed that he could be swallowed by the yellow sand anytime and anywhere.

As he walked, he seemed to see an oasis of sparkling water.

The oasis has flowers and trees, babbling water, and a beautiful girl in a green silk scarf, beckoning to him with an innocent smile.

Rain or shine?

Just as Li Chen was about to rush over to hug Zhao Yuqing, he suddenly seemed to realize something and suddenly woke up.

No, it's an illusion!

For thousands of years, the souls of these sacrificial children have haunted the cherry blossom trees. Over time, the condensed Yin Spirit.

As the spirits of the sacrificed children gathered, the power of the Yin Spirit became stronger, and its desire to leave the cherry blossom tree became stronger.

Yin spirits are not entities, and if you want to leave, the fastest way is to give up!

And Li Chen's body is the best target.

After realizing the danger, Li Chen immediately used the Haoran Tiangang technique to block the invasion of the Yin Spirit.

"Boom!"

The illusion is shattered, the desert turns back into a snow-capped mountain, and the oasis returns to its original form: cherry blossom trees.

Between the branches of the cherry blossom trees, a cloud of black smoke lingers, and from time to time there is the sound of a child crying.

Seeing the true appearance of this yin spirit, Li Chen's heart was shocked.

It was really dangerous just now, and I almost capsized in the gutter and fell into the path of this yin spirit.

"Little Yin Spirit, dare to come out and make trouble? Today, I'm going to send you to hell! ”

The words with murderous intent were still hovering in mid-air, and I saw Li Chen's pupils expand suddenly, and two sinuous fire dragons shot out from it, quickly extending to the cherry blossom tree.

In an instant, the sea of flowers turned into a sea of fire!

The cherry blossom trees were burned to the point of a thunderclap, and the ghosts and spirits that lingered on it also made the sound of ghosts crying and howling wolves.

In a few moments, the entire cherry blossom tree, along with the yin spirit that lingered on it. All of them were completely engulfed in flames, turned into a cloud of ashes, and drifted away with the wind.

After all this was done, Li Chen did not relax at all, and his expression was even more dignified than before.

I saw him staring directly at the thick clouds in the middle of the sky, and shouted: "After watching a good show for so long, it's time to show up, right?" ”
