Kurama Fangyun projected her spiritual world onto this place, because this was where she longed to be most. Spirit Rhinoceros Lake was a boundary—the south was the world she currently lived in, while the north was the world she yearned for.
That was why she could no longer control her Kekkei Genkai here. She had released the deepest thing within her heart—that ghost, that deepest version of herself, the monster hidden within Spirit Rhinoceros Lake...
At the thought, Itachi could not help but shudder. The so-called Inner Ghost was the thing buried deep within one's heart.
Kurama Fangyun truly was a pitiful person.
Watching Kurama Fangyun's haggard appearance, Itachi sighed inwardly as well.
Li said at that moment, "Although I have slain your Inner Ghost, have you truly not considered following your heart? Think it through. I may have killed it once, but as long as your heart does not change, this will happen a second time, a third time, a fourth time... Until, in the end, you are consumed by the Inner Ghost and become a true ghost."
Kurama Fangyun's body trembled, and her face filled with shock. "How do you know? Why do you know the secrets of the Kurama Clan's Kekkei Genkai so well?!"
Li gave a chuckle, then lifted his head to look at the sky. "You probably thought I only knew part of your Kekkei Genkai, didn't you? And you were afraid that I would sacrifice the entire hunting group to save you, so you asked me to make sure to protect them at the critical moment. In truth, you had been seeking death from the very beginning."
"Lord Li." Kurama Fangyun wore a solemn expression as she bowed deeply to Li. "No matter what, I must thank you for what happened this time."
