during this year.
[Dragon Palace City] has also experienced a major reshuffle and a major change of blood.
The original [Egret City Lord] has been in retreat and recuperating, regardless of political affairs.
Except for his personal guards.
All other affairs in the city are under the control of Otsutsuki Goji.
Although this guy is young, he is surprisingly cruel.
Take advantage of this time period.
Not only did Otsutsuki Yuji fail to appease the entire [Ryuugu Castle], but he also began a large-scale purge.
All the nobles in the city who are inclined to [the House's Council] are the 'Parliament spies' hiding in the city.
They were all picked out and strangled one by one.
Without exception.
In just a few months, all the forces related to the [House Council] in the city were cleansed.
Less than 100,000 people died as a result.
For a while.
Almost the entire [Dragon Palace City] is officially under the control of [the royal family].
This way.
After that, even if the [Home Council] reacts, they will reposition their manpower.
It will inevitably be difficult and waste a lot of time.
It's just that that's the case.
The power that Otsutsuki Yuji can seize is also limited.
Even with all the calculations, he only controls half of the power of [Dragon Palace City].
The remaining half of the dark forces are still firmly controlled by the [Egret City Lord].
Even if he never shows up, no one can shake him.
not to mention.
The core of the artifact is still in Egret's hands, and the entire [Dragon Palace City] still belongs to him alone.
No one can disobey...
As for the internal power struggle in Ryugu Castle, Natsume is not interested at all.
No matter how great the changes here are, it cannot escape the fact that it is a [big prison].
It cannot be taken away, nor can it affect the outside world.
So why are you nostalgic?
The entire Otsutsuki clan outside, the entire [Shigen World].
That's Natsume's true goal!
…
Before leaving, Natsume still spoke to the [Egret City Lord].
For the sake of the 'brother-in-law' relationship and the sponsorship of the hundred fruits.
The two sides can be considered to be in the same camp.
It should be a reminder.
In this regard, the Lord of Egret City could only wish them a smooth journey.
Being restrained in [Dragon Palace City], he really couldn't provide much help.
otherwise.
He was sure to kill him in one fell swoop and directly bombarded the Royal Castle of the Otsutsuki Moto family!
As for Otsutsuki Yuji, Natsume had no need to remind him.
As a dignified elder of the family, I have to decide whether to stay or go.
Do you still want to report to him?
Moreover.
If he could really return to his family's main continent, the first thing Natsume wanted to do was to sneak into the royal city.
Grab another piece of [Thousand Leading Stone Fragments].
Now reminding the royal family, wouldn’t that be self-inflicted?
Natsume wouldn't be that stupid...
…
Just like that, relying on the cheating assistance of a certain city lord.
Natsume easily deceived the royal spies in Ryugu Castle and left the main city area of Ryugu Castle.
And the reason is to leave the main city first.
It was to take back the [Phoenix True Spirit] that had been left outside.
You know, over the past year or so,
This little phoenix has been hunting ghosts outside the Dragon Palace City; while strengthening itself, it also collects the power of souls.
A small portion of the ghosts in the entire outer area.
They were all hunted by it one after another and inhaled into [Jingsheng Jade].
That large amount of soul fragments even filled the huge storage capacity of [Jingsheng Jade] more than half a year ago.
It also made Natsume spend a lot of gold coins to expand the [Jingsheng Jade].
It is enough to show that [Phoenix True Spirit]’s harvest is rich.
It is estimated that at least tens of thousands of wandering ghosts were strangled to pieces by it.
Moreover, relying on the absorption and accumulation in hunting after hunting, the [Phoenix True Spirit], which was originally a creation of the soul, has also made further progress.
Not only has his strength risen to [Six Paths High Level];
Even his intelligence has completely reached the level of a tailed beast.
I can already have some simple consciousness exchanges with Natsume.
Obviously, this wave of stocking has also yielded quite a harvest.
…
After recalling [Phoenix True Spirit].
This time, [Yami Mi Jinyu] actually brought him into the [Ghost Wheel] to keep him company.
It can be seen that the goddess of underworld likes little Huanghuang very much.
There's no way around it. The Phoenix True Spirit's appearance is inherently beautiful, and it almost combines the beauty of all birds.
It's really wonderful.
What's more, the appearance of the phoenix is quite similar to that of the crested ibis clan of [An Mi Jinyu] and others.
It all made An Mijinyu wonder if there was any blood relationship between them.
Naturally, I am more obsessed with it and can't put it down.
Directly in the [Ghost Wheel], holding the [Phoenix True Spirit], stroking it crazily.
Very similar to the large number of "shit shovelers" in Xia's current life.
…
Subsequently, Natsume passed through the location where he last entered the [Ancestral Vessel].
Use the [Ancestral Wood Ring] again to open the outer wall of the blood vessel.
Once again, he entered the torrent of golden chakra blood.
This time.
Natsume put away the [Ancestral Wooden Ring] without deliberately resisting.
Let the terrifying torrent of chakra impact on himself.
And take yourself with you to flow quickly.
Of course, just to be on the safe side.
Natsume still put on another defensive semi-sacred weapon [Laurizuli Fall], which was the one Otsutsuki Yuji compensated for himself on behalf of the royal family.
This way.
I am no longer afraid of most dangers in [Ancestral Vessel].
Otherwise, at this speed of 10,000 times the speed of sound, if there is a turn ahead.
Didn't he hit the inner wall hard?
That power is no less than being hit with full force by the [Semi-Artifact]!
Natsume's physical body, which only has the strength of [Peak Six Paths], is definitely unstoppable.
Maybe, he might be smashed into a pulp in an instant.
You must be on guard against it.
And with the protection of [Half-Sacred Artifact], Natsume felt much more at ease.
You can even enjoy the magnificent scenery along the way.
After all, being able to swim in the veins of a true god is something most people would never even dream of.
Moreover, you can also study the physical structure of the true god.
It can be considered as an increase in knowledge.
…
Speeding all the way.
The further they advanced, the more horrified Natsume became.
This [ancestral blood vessel] seems to have no end, and the chakra torrent here seems to be endless...
From this point of view, the gap between [True God] and [Demigod] is too big, right?
It’s simply bigger than the gap between humans and dogs!
Or is it just that [Otsutsuki Ancestor] is an anomaly among [True Gods]?
Natsume stopped thinking about it.
I'm afraid the more I think about it, the more frustrating it becomes...
Also, it's worth mentioning.
As they flew all the way, Natsume saw several more 'pure white crystal cages' that had previously trapped An Mitsuha.
However, it is indeed empty inside, and there are no other ghosts in the underworld.
I don’t know if there is no imprisonment?
Or have they all been washed away by the torrent here...
…
