However, Yae Sakura didn't actually kill every yokai she encountered. Yokai that had harmed people carried a malevolent aura, and Yae Sakura showed no mercy to such creatures.
As for kindhearted yokai, Yae Sakura generally ignored them.
Otherwise, ten thousand yokai would have been cleared out long ago.
What puzzled Yae Sakura, though, was that despite her fame having grown so much, why hadn't the Main Mission been completed yet?
She couldn't figure it out!
"Lord Kikyo, Lord Yae, you've finally arrived! The Abbot is barely holding on, please follow me!"
When Kikyo and Yae Sakura, along with a third person, arrived in front of the temple, a young monk saw them and immediately rushed forward with a look of urgency.
"Alright."
Upon hearing this, Kikyo didn't hesitate and followed the young monk into the temple with Yae Sakura.
"Yuanzheng, you're already severely injured, yet you dare to block us with your life! Damnable!"
"We must eat him, eat him!"
In the center of the temple stood a seven to eight-meter-tall golden pagoda. Within it, an endless black mist swirled, and dark, enraged voices roared, desperate to break free.
The golden pagoda trembled incessantly, as if it could shatter at any moment.
"Amitabha!"
An old monk with short, flat white hair sat cross-legged before the golden pagoda, continuously striking a wooden fish. Golden light seemed to emanate from him, suppressing the pagoda.
Suddenly... the old monk's face turned pale, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The action of striking the wooden fish stopped.
"Hahaha, you dare to persist even with internal injuries!"
"Break the pagoda, we'll be free!"
"Liver, I feel like eating fresh liver..."
The golden pagoda began to crack, the fissures growing larger. Then, with a loud boom...
The golden pagoda exploded, and hundreds of yokai burst forth. These were all yokai that Yuanzheng had captured one by one over the years, and now they were all free!
"Retribution!"
Seeing the pagoda shatter, Yuanzheng sighed weakly, clasped his hands together, and seemed to resign himself to death.
Over the years, he had tried to help these yokai transcend and embrace Buddhism.
He never imagined that it would only intensify their evil intentions!
"Become one with us, Yuanzheng!"
