Yae Sakura did not kill every yokai she encountered.
Yokai that had harmed people carried a baleful aura, and Yae Sakura showed them no mercy.
As for kind-hearted yokai, Yae Sakura generally ignored them.
Otherwise, she would have completed the ten-thousand-yokai requirement long ago.
What puzzled Yae Sakura was that her reputation was already so great.
Why had the Main Mission still not been completed?
She simply could not figure it out!
"Lord Kikyo, Lord Yae, you three are finally here! The abbot can barely hold on any longer. Please, come with me!"
When Kikyo and Yae Sakura arrived at the temple, a young monk spotted them and hurried over anxiously.
"Alright."
Kikyo did not hesitate and followed the young monk toward the temple with Yae Sakura.
"Yuanzheng, your vitality has been greatly damaged, yet you still dare to risk your life to stop us! Damn it!"
"We have to eat him! Eat him!"
In the center of the temple stood a golden pagoda seven or eight meters tall. It seemed to contain endless black qi, and dark, furious voices roared from within, trying to break free.
The golden pagoda shook without cease, as though it might shatter at any moment.
"Amitabha."
An old monk with short white crew-cut hair sat cross-legged before the golden pagoda, continuously striking a wooden fish. Golden light seemed to radiate from his body, suppressing the pagoda.
Suddenly, the old monk's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
His hand stopped striking the wooden fish.
"Haha, you dare to force yourself on with your internal injuries still unhealed!"
"Break the pagoda! We're free!"
"Livers... I want to eat fresh livers..."
Cracks began spreading across the golden pagoda, growing larger and larger. Then, with a thunderous boom—
The golden pagoda exploded, and over a hundred yokai burst free. Yuanzheng had captured these yokai one by one over the years, and now they had all escaped!
"Retribution..."
As he watched the golden pagoda break apart, Yuanzheng let out a strained sigh and pressed his palms together, as though he had already begun waiting for death.
All these years, he had wanted to save these yokai and have them take refuge in Buddhism.
He had never expected that he would instead deepen their evil thoughts!
"Become one with us, Yuanzheng!"
