Kagome set foot on Mount Azusa's mountain path again.
As expected, she encountered a similar bank of mist on the stone steps halfway up the mountain.
Within the mist, anyone could only see five meters ahead.
Because of Li Xia, the young girl had practiced the Spirit Eye Technique, which could see through most illusions; supported by her powerful spiritual power, the technique seemed quite effective. Even so, this mist still troubled her.
"Xia said the Bow of Mount Azusa could be called a Miko's divine artifact and would be a tremendous help to me. And I promised Xia I'd obtain the spiritual bow so I could stay by his side and help him."
In other words, this bow held enormous significance for both her and her boyfriend.
Since that was the case, she had no reason to hesitate here, much less give up halfway.
At that thought, Kagome gritted her teeth and continued up the steps.
Soon, she ran into a faceless figure whose features she could not see.
"A mortal...?"
This was none other than the Spirit of Mount Azusa.
"Who are you?"
Upon hearing her question, the Spirit of Mount Azusa seemed startled too and hastily covered its front with its sleeve.
But when it moved its sleeve aside again, what it revealed was an exquisitely beautiful face.
"Kikyo?"
How was that possible?
Kagome's eyes trembled slightly.
At the foot of the mountain.
Watching his young girlfriend disappear into a suddenly rising mist shortly after stepping onto the stone stairs, Li Xia could not help feeling a little nervous.
He knew very well that, like Goshinki, the Spirit of Mount Azusa possessed the ability to read minds. In other words, the spirit of this sacred mountain could see into the girl's heart without any physical contact.
