Chapter 230: The So-Called Sacrifice

"Boom------"

A dazzling blue light flashed, and a deafening roar sounded. The explosion produced a huge airflow that rushed to both sides, and the rock walls on both sides were affected and fell down.

Looking at Huang Quan's figure covered by the rubble produced by the explosion, and Huang Quan's chakra fluctuations that disappeared, Liu Yu put Sanriku Munechika back into the scabbard.

It must be said that Huang Quan disappointed Liu Yu. I thought such a BOSS in the original movie version would be so powerful, but I didn't expect that Huang Quan, who couldn't get the power of the ghost, didn't even have the courage to fight with me.

Of course, it was precisely because of Huang Quan's own weakness that Huang Quan had the idea of ​​obtaining the power of the ghost, even if he dedicated his body to the ghost and became a puppet under the ghost.

Miroku looked at Huang Quan and his group who were dealt with by Liu Yu in the blink of an eye, and came behind Liu Yu with a complicated look. This scene today had been expected when she made the decision.

After that, Liu Yu followed Miroku into the cave where the body of the demon was sealed, accompanied by the young Shion. While Kizuki and Kusa Chinako waited outside the cave, alerting for possible accidents.

"Mom! What are we doing here?"

Looking at the dark scene on both sides of the cave, Shion asked timidly. For some reason, she always felt uneasy and aching in her heart today, as if something bad was about to happen.

"No matter what happens to mother, you can't lose your mind. Even if mother disappears from your sight, it is only a fleeting matter in this world."

Miroku, who was pulled by Shion's clothes, stopped, squatted down lightly, and whispered in Shion's ear. However, Miroku's words made the young Shion feel even more uneasy, and she quickly hugged Miroku. The young girl didn't know why her mother would say such strange words now, she only knew that she didn't want to lose her mother.

Miroku, who was hugged by Shion, showed a trace of helplessness, as well as the deep reluctance hidden behind the helplessness. Looking at this scene, Liu Yu opened his mouth to say something, but was stopped by Miroku's eyes. In the end, Liu Yu's moving lips still couldn't open, and he turned his head helplessly and sighed softly.

As a collection of natural energy in this world, Wuliang, like the nine tailed beasts, is essentially unkillable. Even if it is killed, it will reorganize its own energy at a suitable time and revive again somewhere in the ninja world.

And sealing Wuliang is not without cost, and this price is the life of the sealer Miko. In order to seal the resurrected Wuliang, the Miko clan fixed the resurrection location of Wuliang with a special sealing technique. Wuliang is often the weakest when it is resurrected, and this is also the best time to reseal Wuliang. At this time, the witch needs to seal the resurrected Wuliang again at the cost of her own life. It can be said that perishing together with the Wuliang has become the fate of the witch clan, which is sad but helpless.

In the original work, Huang Quan broke the seal first during the resurrection of Wuliang, and relied on the power of Wuliang to drive the undead army to attack the city, and that time was also the biggest crisis faced by the entire Ghost Country. In the end, under the struggle of Maitreya, the soul and body of Wuliang were separated at the cost of his life, and they were sealed in the underground palace of the Ghost Country and the ancestral hall of the Swamp Country respectively, and then they survived the crisis.

Now is the time for Wuliang to revive, and the purpose of Liuyu and his party coming here is to reseal Wuliang, and dealing with Huang Quan is just a by-product.

As for letting Liu Yu become the Jinchūriki of Wuliang now, it is not the right time. Liu Yu's current strength is not enough to suppress Wuliang. Forcibly taking Wuliang into the body will only cause more serious consequences.

In this life, Huang Quan, who attempted to get involved in Wuliang's power, has been killed by Liu Yu, but the price to be paid for sealing Wuliang will not change. Miroku will still die after sealing Wuliang. It is precisely because he knows his fate of death that Miroku will bring Shion with him this time.

In the past two years of getting along, Miroku has taken care of Liu Yu as if he were his own child, and Liu Yu really recognized Miroku as an elder in his heart. At this moment, watching her only elder in this world sacrifice for the so-called mission, it is impossible to say that Liu Yu doesn't care. At this moment, her mood is also very heavy, but Liu Yu is not Naruto. She will not rush out in a hurry without thinking of a response plan with the support of a heart of blood. The long-term killing has taught her to stay calm when necessary.

Faced with the fate of Maitreya's death, Liu Yu could not find a solution. Maitreya's sacrifice this time also bought time for Liu Yu to obtain the power of the ghost next time, and this was the last thing Maitreya could do for Liu Yu as an elder. Liu Yu, as a junior, had no choice but to accept it.

After comforting Shion, Maitreya stood up again, took Shion's little hand and walked firmly into the cave, and Liu Yu behind the two followed silently.

Outside the cave, both Kizuna and Kusa Chinako remained silent.

"Is there really no other way?"

Looking at Kusa Chinako who was silent, it was Kizuna who broke the silence first. They both knew what the final result would be today.

"If there were other ways, the miko clan would not seal at the cost of the lives of the clan members from generation to generation."

Kusa Chinako held her short sword, looked up at the crescent moon in the sky and replied softly. After learning about the history of the miko clan, a sense of powerlessness naturally emerged.

""

The ghost lantern and the crescent moon stopped talking. She could tell that Cao Qiannaizi was not as indifferent as she showed.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Cao Qiannaizi's eyes widened suddenly, he pulled out the short knife from his arms and looked not far away.

"Is there a situation?"

Seeing the alert look on Cao Qian Naiko's face, Gui Deng Xian Yue couldn't help but become vigilant and prepared for battle. She trusted the perception ability of the Cao Qian clan.

I closed my eyes and sensed carefully, but found nothing. Afterwards, Kusanagi opened her eyes and laughed at herself: "Maybe I'm too sensitive!"

"It's okay!"

Looking at Kua Qian Nai Zi gradually relaxing, Gui Deng Xian Yue also slowly let go of his raised heart. Everything that just happened can only be attributed to Kua Qian Nai Zi being too nervous tonight.

In an open space a few kilometers away from the cave, a figure slowly emerged, staring at the two people outside the cave entrance in the distance with a pair of snake eyes.

"What a perceptive woman!"

Orochimaru stuck out his tongue and licked his lower lip and said coldly. And at the feet of Orochimaru, there was a figure covered in wounds. When he looked closer, he saw that this person was actually Huang Quan who was supposed to die under the gunman of Ryukyu Bamboo. Looking more carefully, Huang Quan was still breathing weakly. He was saved by Orochimaru through some unknown means, and he also successfully concealed it from Ryūyu's perception.
