The True Eight-Headed Serpent

"Let go of the seal you're maintaining. Trust me, nothing will happen."

Uchiha Chen's words seemed to carry such conviction that Zijing slowly began to believe him. A look of trust gradually appeared in her violet eyes. She nodded gently and released her hands. The power sustaining the seal vanished in an instant.
