With Rin Nohara and Obito's affairs settled, it was time to put the others' revivals on the agenda.
The top priority now was to get some of the White Snake Sage's blood so Ye Feng could recover faster. Otherwise, recovery alone would take several years, never mind growing stronger.
More than ten days later, Ye Feng's Origin Force had stabilized considerably. Only a small portion of his lifespan had been restored, but that no longer affected his current combat strength.
So Ye Feng and Orochimaru came to Ryūchi Cave once again.
But the moment the two entered Ryūchi Cave, they heard an angry roar from inside:
"Orochimaru, you have some nerve showing up in Ryūchi Cave again! This time, I'll swallow you bite by bite!"
As soon as the words fell, the place around Ye Feng and Orochimaru changed. The gloomy cave became a magnificent palace, with a seductive-looking woman seated at its head and snake-shaped guards lining both sides.
Orochimaru said quietly:
"This is Tagorihime, one of the three great princesses serving the White Snake Sage. She specializes in illusions and invisibility."
Before Orochimaru could finish, Tagorihime shouted from her seat:
"Orochimaru, I never thought you'd dare come back! Then we'll settle every score, old and new, today. Attack!"
At Tagorihime's command, hundreds of snake-shaped guards on either side raised their weapons and charged at Ye Feng and Orochimaru.
The sheer spectacle would probably have terrified an ordinary ninja into fighting desperately until they were exhausted and left at Tagorihime's mercy!
But to Ye Feng, all of this was child's play. Even without Orochimaru's warning, he had already noticed that these were all illusions.
Ye Feng had no desire to waste time here. His aura suddenly burst forth, instantly whipping up a powerful storm.
Orochimaru immediately raised both hands
