Chapter 150 The Demon's Seal is Unsealed, Rushing to the Rescue of the Demon Kingdom
The sound of footsteps seemed incredibly faint in the vast echo of the hall.
On the throne, the mammoth's gaze, passing through the white three-eyed fox mask, fell upon the priest below, who looked like a candle flickering in the wind, and upon the stained letter.
He didn't speak, but simply raised his hand slightly, and a golden chakra chain shot out, rolling up the secret letter that Ashikagashi held high and bringing it into his hand.
Menma opened the secret letter and found that there was another layer of sealing magic on it, but it was not too difficult for him, a member of the Uzumaki family. After a moment, the seal was broken, and the contents of the secret letter were revealed.
Inside the main hall, Menma quietly read the secret letter, leaving only Shigishi's heavy, fearful breathing.
Every second of silence felt like a boulder pressing on Zu'an's heart, almost suffocating him.
I don't know how much time has passed; it may have been just a moment, or it may have been a century.
"Tell me in detail." A cold, emotionless voice finally came from the high throne, striking the nerves of the already collapsing foot of the shore.
Although Miroku used a letter to ask for help, the characters were limited in the emergency, so Menma still wanted to learn more about the details of the Land of Demons through the person in front of him who had escaped to ask for help.
At the same time, he was recalling the plot from his memory.
When Shion was little, her mother died because she was sealing away a demon. If you think about it, it must have been around these last few years.
Moreover, Shion's power is the strongest among all the priestesses in history. In my memory, when Shion finally released the seal on her body, many patterns burst out on her body, which looked a bit like magic.
Could it be that the shrine maiden also controls natural energy?
When Ashikagashi described the upheaval in the Land of Demons to Shura, the ruler of the Land of Stars.
Menma's thoughts spread instantly like invisible ripples through the chakra network constructed by the Tsukuyomi inscription.
In various parts of the Star Kingdom, several figures simultaneously trembled.
In the underground prison, Uchiha Hikaru put away "Icha Icha Paradise" and his cold gaze swept over Hiruko and Yakushi Nonou in their cells.
Inside the administration building, Vanilla Whirlpool checks the inventory list in front of a mountain of supplies rolls.
Kaguya Kimimaro silently condensed bone spikes in the training ground; Haku carefully tended to a flower formed of ice crystals beside her.
The four of them stopped moving at the same time, and the same voice, the same coordinates, and the unquestionable summons were clearly reflected in their minds.
Before long, several more figures appeared in the main hall.
Uchiha Hikaru, Uzumaki Kaguya, Haku, and Kaguya Kimimaro stood solemnly.
Priest Ashikagashi sat in a chair in the corner, eating to replenish his strength, because he insisted on accompanying the group back to the Star Kingdom to protect the priestess clan.
"A great upheaval has occurred in the Land of Demons." Menma's voice, cold and emotionless, came through the mask: "The priestess Miroku and her daughter Shion have been imprisoned in a shrine by the daimyo Hamabe Shun and nobles. Someone took advantage of the chaos to break the seal on the demons, and the Land of Demons is in turmoil."
Uchiha Hikaru's dark eyes flickered slightly as he looked at Menma, seemingly asking a silent question.
"Hikaru." Menma's gaze fell on Uchiha Hikaru: "You will lead Kimimaro and Haku, and come with me immediately to the shrine in the Land of Demons to rescue them."
His gaze swept over Kimimaro and Haku, scrutinizing them: "This is a training exercise. Your opponents are at least Jonin-level ninjas. Don't die."
"Yes, sir!" Kimimaro straightened his body even more, his white breathing slightly rapid.
"Vanilla." Menma turned to Vanilla Uzumaki: "Organize the Star Ninja Army, thirty elite soldiers, and then head to the Land of Demons. Also prepare a batch of officials, doctors, and supplies such as food and medicine to take over the Land of Demons. I want a smooth transition there."
"Yes, Lord Shura." Vanilla Uzumaki's eyes sharpened and became steady as she nodded emphatically.
Menma instantly appeared beside Uchiha Hikaru, reached out, and placed his hand on Uchiha Hikaru's shoulder.
Uchiha Hikaru understood, and placed his fair hands on Kimimaro and Haku's shoulders respectively.
"Let's get ready to go," Kimimaro said, glancing at Ashigishi.
Although Ashigishi was still a little confused, he quickly came to the group's side. When Shiro put her hand on his shoulder, Ashigishi looked at the cute 'girl' in front of him and blushed slightly.
Flying Thunder God Technique!
The next moment, on a mountain not far from the City of Ghosts, space rippled, and five figures appeared out of thin air in a cave.
As the group emerged from the cave, a chilling wind carrying an evil aura rushed towards them, accompanied by a strong stench of blood and an indescribable, rotten smell that seemed to emanate from the depths of the earth.
Standing atop the hill, Ashigashi looked out at the distant city, only to see it had been engulfed in flames, with thick smoke billowing upwards.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Ashigishi exclaimed in surprise, "Is this the City of Demons?"
"Go!" Before Zuan could recover from his shock, Shura's voice was cold and concise.
A crimson glint flashed in Uchiha Hikaru's eyes, and his three-tomoe Sharingan instantly activated. His powerful eye swept forward, locking onto the chaotic chakra source in the direction of the shrine.
Her speed suddenly increased, like a phantom in the night, as she sped towards the direction with the strongest smell of blood.
Kimimaro activated his Byakugan, leaped up alongside Haku, and quickly caught up.
Menma had already cracked the switch for the bloodline limit of the eye technique. Even those with relatively low chakra levels can freely choose to deactivate the burden brought by the eye technique's bloodline limit once they master this switch.
Moreover, it seems that apart from Kakashi, who has a low chakra level, other ninjas who have transplanted eye techniques and bloodline limits have not experienced a chakra deficiency to the point of physical weakness.
Menma glanced at Shigane, his figure blurry as if carrying a piece of luggage, and followed closely behind, moving even faster, almost blending into the darkness. Kimimaro and Haku felt the strong wind scraping their faces, their hearts pounding in their chests. For the first time, they were truly facing such intense killing intent and an unknown enemy. Fighting alongside Lord Shura, their blood seemed to boil.
At this time, the Oni Kingdom Shrine.
What was once a solemn and sacred place has been transformed into a hellish slaughterhouse.
The scene on the open ground outside the shrine was horrific; the corpses of soldiers from the Land of Demons, clad in magnificent armor, lay scattered across the cobblestone ground.
Their deaths were extremely bizarre and terrifying. Some bodies were as if all the moisture had been drained away, withered and shrunken, their skin clinging tightly to their bones, their faces frozen with extreme pain and fear, their eye sockets sunken, their mouths wide open, as if screaming silently.
Thick blood seeped into the cracks of the stone slabs, pooling into nauseating, sticky puddles.
The air was filled with a suffocating mixture of smells: a heavy stench of blood, the acrid smell of ruptured entrails, a foul odor, and a pungent, burnt smell that seemed to come from the sulfur of hell.
Interspersed among these mummified corpses was another type of body.
They were dressed in exquisite silk robes, some plump and some thin, and were none other than the arrogant nobles of the Star Kingdom, including the daimyo Hamabe Shun himself.
His obese body lay limp in a pool of blood like a tattered sack, his magnificent deep purple robe soaked in blood, the gold-embroidered family crest twisted and deformed.
Hamagi Shun's eyes widened in terror, his face frozen in disbelief. A strangely shaped kunai, seemingly made of black bones, was deeply embedded between his eyebrows, the flesh around the wound showing ominous purplish-black necrotic marks.
The culprit behind all this is entrenched in the center of the plaza in front of the main shrine.
It was a terrifying presence that defied description.
A massive, dark purple chakra aggregate that was constantly writhing and expanding, like a living, viscous, filthy swamp.
Eight enormous, ferocious snake heads were formed from condensed, solidified dark chakra, their vertical pupils burning with a molten gold-like ferocity and hatred. The heavy vermilion doors of the main hall of the Flame Shrine were tightly closed, and a thin shield emitting a soft white light stubbornly enveloped the hall.
The shield fluctuated violently under the impact of the constantly spewing dark chakra stream, its light flickering and emitting a hissing sound as it struggled under the strain.
Through the faint glow of the spiritual energy shield, one could vaguely see the pale face of the priestess Miroku and the young Shion she was tightly protecting behind her through the crack in the temple door.
Miroku formed hand seals, and the priestess's power surged into the shield as if boiling, a streak of bright red blood already spilling from the corner of his mouth.
Behind her, Ziyuan's small body trembled violently with fear, her violet eyes filled with tears, and her little hands tightly gripped a spherical brooch her mother had given her.
Beneath that massive, twisted, dark purple chakra body, there was a group of figures dressed in blood-stained white robes.
Huang Quan and others, who call themselves dark medical ninjas.
"Maitreya, can you still hold on? I can feel that the power of this barrier is getting weaker and weaker." The leader, Huang Quan, had a withered face and sunken eyes. His thin fingers kept forming hand seals, and he kept chanting incantations, guiding the power to impact the shield.
In the air, there were the sounds of evil chakra, the roars of demons, the wails of the dying, and the grating sounds of flesh and bone being cut apart.
At this moment when despair and crisis intertwined to their peak!
Several figures, like shooting stars tearing through the night sky, boldly stormed into this bloody inferno!
Uchiha Hikaru landed first, her deep blue high-collared clan robes fluttering wildly in the raging storm of chakra.
The moment her jet-black eyes touched the ground, they were replaced by an even deeper, colder crimson—the Mangekyou Sharingan.
open!
The pattern formed by the three tomoe linked together slowly rotated in his blood-red eyes, instantly locking onto Huang Quan and the group of dark medical ninjas around him who exuded a strong bloody smell.
She didn't make any extra movements, just stood there quietly, an invisible killing intent spreading out like ice water.
Kaguya Kimimaro and Haku followed closely behind.
Kimimaro landed silently, his pale face still expressionless, but for the first time, a chilling killing intent ignited deep within his white eyes.
He slightly raised his right hand, and beneath the skin of his palm, a stark white bone spur silently pierced through the flesh, protruding with a sharp edge.
Bai appeared somewhat nervous, but upon seeing Kimimaro's actions, he took a deep breath, his gaze hardening, and a visible chill emanated from his body as he picked up a senbon needle with his right hand.
Menma's figure cut directly into the very heart of the battlefield!
The white three-eyed fox mask glowed in the firelight, the dark red high-collared black robe fluttered in the wind, and the cloak with the nine-faced Suvaha pattern behind him billowed in the air.
With each step he took, the dark purple chakra that had been churning beneath his feet and trying to erode his ankles exploded and dissipated as if it had encountered its nemesis!
"How is this possible!" Huang Quan and the others stared in bewildered and frantic eyes.
Mianma walked straight to the violently fluctuating spiritual energy shield and stood still.
Its position was perfectly positioned between Maitreya and his mother and the eight roaring snake heads!
"You bastard! Who are you?!" With a hiss, the eight dark snake heads felt an unprecedented sense of oppression.
