With the secret help of Mikoshi Chiyo, and Hanasato, Hotaru handled the ritual very quickly.
Soon, Ying and Paimon arrived at the foot of Mt. Yougou Mountain to carry out the final purification work.
Unlike the normal storyline where Hikari suspects Hanasato, Hanasato Mikoshi Chiyo, having gained normal human forms, can actually help Hikari with many things.
For example, helping to remove the talisman, etc.
At this moment, Mikoshi Chiyo were already standing on the crevice on the side of the Mt. Yougou, waiting for Hikari and Paimon to arrive.
Upon seeing Ying and Paimon, Mikoshi Chiyo bowed to the two of them.
"Thank you, Your Excellency and Paimon, for your willingness to help resolve this crisis."
"Are you ready?"
Ying nodded.
Paimon, arms crossed, said smugly, "Don't worry, Sparkle is very strong!"
Mikoshi Chiyo nodded, and then began to cast a spell.
Soon, the water, filled with Electro, receded, revealing a huge crack.
"Then, I wish you, sir, continued success in your military campaigns."
Mikoshi Chiyo bowed to Hotaru, then watched Hotaru jump down.
Hanasato suddenly appeared behind Mikoshi Chiyo and spoke.
Why should I cover for you instead of showing up and breaking these seals myself?
Looking at the crack below, Mikoshi Chiyo said calmly, "Free labor, might as well use it."
"If you had also shown up, this person might not have been so willing to handle these rituals alone."
"Besides, she was the one who contacted me first; I didn't ask her for help."
"Besides..."
Mikoshi Chiyo pulled out a Primogem.
"All she wanted in return was this stone."
"We have absolutely no use for this kind of thing, and it only has a little collectible value. But there are so many of these things in nature that they've almost lost their collectible value."
"Since this Little Girl who calls herself Traveler likes it, it's a good idea to give it to her."
Mikoshi Chiyo put away the Primogem and then called to Hanasato.
"Let's go down and help out."
After saying that, Mikoshi Chiyo jumped down one section at a time, stepping on the huge tree roots.
Hanasato's figure vanished instantly.
Ying had already knocked down the Miasmic Tumor and was Focus elements to launch an attack.
A blue tornado, a yellow Starfell Sword, and purple shurikens continuously lashed out at the Miasmic Tumor.
Mikoshi Chiyo gathered the Void Power within their bodies, transforming it into a long sword that descended from the sky and pierced the Miasmic Tumor.
Hanasato teleported to the tree branch below the crack, watched the dark filth flowing from the branch, thought for a moment, and then contacted Jiang Xiaofeng.
Through the Void Eye, Hanasato contacted Jiang Xiaofeng.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaofeng was using the Void Power to devour a red-armored Kairagi and was studying the abilities of the enchanted scroll when he happened to run into Hanasato who contacted him. So Jiang Xiaofeng teleported directly to Hanasato's side.
"What's wrong... Oh, I see."
Jiang Xiaofeng landed directly below, placing his hands on the Miasmic Tumor, and the Void Power seeped into it.
The Miasmic Tumor, which was launching a massive attack in all directions, froze instantly, and then was slowly assimilated by Jiang Xiaofeng's Void Power...
Jiang Xiaofeng finally realized just how unreasonable the Void Power truly was.
No matter who it is, once they are affected, they will all be assimilated, and all the energy in their body will be twisted into the Void Power.
The same applies to the Elemental Hypostases, to the holder of the Vision, and to the Delusion.
Even the person he resurrected using the Void Power had an invisible connection with Jiang Xiaofeng's Void Power.
Once eroded by Jiang Xiaofeng's Void Power, they become servants of the Void.
For this reason, Jiang Xiaofeng felt it was time for the title of Void God to spread throughout Teyvat.
Okay, let's start with Inazuma.
Jiang Xiaofeng looked at the Miasmic Tumor that was transforming into the Void Power, and slapped his forehead.
"I got used to it and forgot that the Miasmic Tumor needed to be removed."
Then, Jiang Xiaofeng took out the Cursed Sword that had been devouring the Void Power Void.
To this day, Jiang Xiaofeng still hasn't found a way to assimilate the Cursed Sword with the Void Power. Instead, the Cursed Sword has absorbed all the Void Power, strengthening itself.
Jiang Xiaofeng even felt that no force could interfere with the Cursed Sword.
Jiang Xiaofeng directly stabbed the Cursed Sword into the Miasmic Tumor, and within a few breaths, the Miasmic Tumor shrank by more than half.
Below, Ying stared blankly at the changes in the Miasmic Tumor, finally recognizing whose style this was.
" Jiang Xiaofeng!"
Ying shouted and summoned a Starfell Sword to prop herself up to the top of the Miasmic Tumor.
Jiang Xiaofeng watched as Ying charged towards him with an air of fearlessness, and simply waved his hand.
Ying was pushed off the Starfell Sword by Jiang Xiaofeng and fell downwards.
"Fluorescent!"
Paimon screamed in terror.
Just as Ying was about to fall heavily to the ground, at the critical moment, Mikoshi Chiyo jumped out and caught her.
Are you alright?
Mikoshi Chiyo put Ying down and asked.
Do I look like I'm doing well?
Ying sat up, lost in thought.
"I'm fine."
Ying frowned as she watched the Miasmic Tumor burst open, its shriveled roots crashing heavily to the ground.
Jiang Xiaofeng also slammed into the ground, landing in front of the two of them.
" Mikoshi Chiyo, you rushed out so early in the morning just to help this guy with the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual?"
Jiang Xiaofeng asked casually.
Mikoshi Chiyo nodded.
"She approached me and said she could help, so I agreed."
Jiang Xiaofeng: "..."
So, did the Traveler still get involved in the Great Exorcism of the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual, and was he used as a tool everywhere?
Forget it, I don't care.
When will that idiot Traveler ever grow up?
Jiang Xiaofeng said to Ying, "If there's nothing else, I'll take Mikoshi Chiyo back."
"Eh! So Miss Oni's real name is Mikoshi Chiyo?"
Paimon said in surprise.
Jiang Xiaofeng glanced at Paimon, nodded, and waved his hand. The Starry Sky Gate directly led the two of them, along with Hanasato who was watching the battle from the side, back to Grand Narukami Shrine.
As Ying watched the green grass and flowers gradually grow in the cave, and the cherry blossom petals falling in the cave, she suddenly remembered something.
" Miss Oni is gone. Has no one told me the purpose of the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual?!"
"Ying, tell me, what exactly is Jiang Xiaofeng doing?"
"Have no idea..."
Paimon and Ying's conversation revolved entirely around this topic.
But seeing all that Jiang Xiaofeng had done, the two women still couldn't guess what Jiang Xiaofeng purpose was.
Encouraged by Paimon, Luminous quickly climbed onto the crevice.
When she reached the ruins of the shrine, Ying looked up at the Grand Narukami Shrine on the mountaintop and made up her mind that she must find time to visit it.
However, before that, I need to go back to the Kamisato Estate to get some information from Thoma and find out what exactly the Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual was all about.
Since the Inazuma Kamisato Clan is a prestigious clan in Inazuma, there must be information about the Inazuma Sacred Sakura Cleansing Ritual in the ancient texts... right?
It definitely will!
Ying gave herself a weak pep talk and walked towards the direction of Kamisato Estate.
