That night.
The moon was bright and the stars were sparse, snowflakes were falling in the cold wind, and only black and white remained between the sky and the earth.
Bai Yu was wearing a silver-white wizard robe and walking on the vast and lonely land. When snowflakes fell about ten centimeters in front of him, they would be pushed away by an invisible force.
At the end of the horizon, there is a sharp point faintly emerging. It is Shuiwu City, a large border city of Taki Country, separated from Earth Country by only a river.
"Is it here?"
Bai Yu looked at the Water Mist City. The bloodline of the mythical creature provided him with extraordinary vision and dynamic vision. Coupled with the "Five Senses Enhancement" spell bonus, the outline of the Water Mist City appeared in his sight.
According to the blood connection, Bai Yu rushed here without stopping. Ziyuan was getting closer and closer to his blood connection, and it was obvious that he was in this city.
Unexpectedly, the person who kidnapped Ziyuan stayed here all the time, but he was quite brave.
I don’t know if I’m waiting for someone to connect with me, or if I’m waiting to die.
Gradually, Bai Yu merged with the night and quietly entered the water mist city.
Water Mist City is a large trading city between the Kingdom of Taki and the Kingdom of Earth. Even though the night is getting darker, the city is still brightly lit with people coming and going, making it very lively.
Bai Yu felt the increasingly strong sense of blood and finally arrived at the door of a luxurious hot spring hotel.
"Is this here?" Bai Yu frowned slightly, using his "sixth sense" to strengthen his perception. He found that some of the rooms above the hotel had barriers set up, interfering with his perception.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu walked around the hot spring hotel, set up a temporary defensive witch formation, and then quietly climbed up to the second floor.
Through induction, Bai Yu came to the outside of a box.
There is a small barrier set up on the outside of this box, which has the function of isolating perception. Ziyuan should be inside it.
Bai Yu quickly formed a seal with his hands, and set up a barrier outside the small barrier set up by the enemy. In this way, no matter how big the movement was inside, it could not be heard outside.
Although he is not afraid of group fights due to his strength, he still needs to be on the safe side. After all, Ziyuan's safety is the most critical.
After doing all this, Bai Yu took a slow breath.
"Hiss~"
A warm current quickly rose from his lower abdomen, and then Chakra surged to all parts of his body. Every muscle in his body was squirming and exerting force. A weak crimson air flow gathered on his right fist, and he His right fist seemed to be inflated, rapidly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.
With Bai Yu's current body control ability, he can accurately control the power of "Red Dragon Tribulation" and "Colossus Technique" at the same time.
boom!
With a loud noise, the barrier and wooden door outside the room were instantly broken.
Bai Yu's figure turned into a red afterimage and rushed into the room.
"Shion! I..."
The scene in the room made Bai Yu's next words stuck in his throat.
I saw Shion and Orochimaru sitting at a table filled with food and eating. Shion was still chewing half of tempura in his mouth, while Orochimaru tilted his head slightly and watched Shion eat.
Bai Yu suddenly broke into the door, which shocked both of them. Orochimaru subconsciously appeared next to Shion and stretched out his hand to protect her behind him.
"Dad?!" Ziyuan looked at Bai Yu who suddenly appeared with surprise and joy, like a 'god descending from heaven', furious.
"Shion, Mr. Orochimaru, what are you..." The crimson air around Bai Yu disappeared quickly like a deflated rubber ball. Looking at Shion, Orochimaru, and a table of fragrant food, Somewhat confused.
Seeing that it was Bai Yu, Orochimaru's solemn expression relaxed slightly, but the powerful aura exuded by Bai Yu made him feel unusually uncomfortable, and his body was still a little tense.
"Dad!" Ziyuan put down her chopsticks, jumped up and jumped into Bai Yu's arms: "Why are you here? I was captured by bad guys! Fortunately, Mr. Orochimaru saved me!"
Bai Yu patted Ziyuan's back and comforted her gently. Then he felt something was wrong and said with a confused look on his face: "How come none of the demonic defense items I left on you were triggered?!"
Ziyuan's original coquettish movements paused.
Upon seeing this, Bai Yu put Ziyuan down, half-knelt in front of her, and checked her physical condition. He found that not only was she unscathed, but she looked fatter than when they met a few months ago.
"It's too boring for me to stay at home. My mother is busy every day and doesn't accompany me. I can't go out even if I want to. Dad, you haven't come to see me for months, so I just want to take this opportunity to go out and play... ..I'm sorry, I was wrong." Ziyuan looked at Bai Yu pitifully, looking like she was about to cry.
Bai Yu's expression was stagnant, and he could not utter any words of blame or instruction. Although Ziyuan's birth was an accident, Bai Yu not only received a lucky bonus from Maitreya, but also got a gifted daughter in vain.
I don't have time to accompany her now. It seems to be my problem. It's just that the Uzumaki clan and Kirigakure were at war some time ago. At the same time, Bai Yu was busy collecting blood successor limits and doing experiments, so he couldn't spare the time to go to the ghost country. In the final analysis, these experiments are good for him, but they will also save his descendants from making many detours in the future.
It's just that what children want may be different from what adults think.
"This is indeed Dad's fault, but you can't do this next time. Think about how worried your mother and I would be about you if you were kidnapped. This time you were lucky enough to meet Mr. Orochimaru. If you met other bad people What should I do? The demonized defense items I gave you can’t block all attacks. It’s really dangerous for you to do this, do you know?”
Bai Yu said.
"I promise I won't do it next time." Ziyuan lowered her head.
"Let's eat first, I happen to be hungry too." Bai Yu smiled and carried Shion back to his seat, came to sit next to Orochimaru, and said: "Teacher Orochimaru, can you tell me about the process of how you rescued Shion? I I want to know who dared to attack her?"
Orochimaru came back to his senses and looked at the broken door and the debris on the ground beside the door.
Bai Yu noticed his gaze and smiled slightly:
"Don't worry, I added another layer of barrier outside the barrier, so ordinary people can't get in."
Although Orochimaru seems to have taken good care of Shion and may indeed have saved her, he has not informed him even though he knew her identity. Obviously, he may have other purposes, which Bai Yu needs to find out. OK.
Of course, no matter what, Orochimaru did help Shion, and that was enough. After all, a gentleman does not care about his heart.
With their origin, Bai Yu would not embarrass Orochimaru.
Orochimaru was shocked, and then briefly recounted what happened. Of course, he would not mention a word about his desire to conduct research through Shion's bloodline. After all, Bai Yu himself could guess it. It's a bit difficult to end if it's too straightforward.
"Teacher Orochimaru, you said you gave me the information, but why didn't I receive it? It's been four days."
Bai Yu frowned slightly.
At this moment, Bai Yu's expression changed and he took out a psychic scroll from his arms.
Bang!
As a burst of smoke dissipated, a small earth-yellow snake appeared on the scroll, and a smaller scroll came out of the snake's mouth.
When Bai Yu opened the scroll, he couldn't help but look a little weird. The content on the scroll was exactly what Orochimaru said, and informed him of the situation of Shion being rescued by him.
"It seems that all the messenger snakes in Shigu Forest are already this bad?" Bai Yu looked at Orochimaru with a half-smile, but he didn't expect him to do this with him. If Bai Yu couldn't find Shion, I'm afraid this The letter would never reach him.
However, Orochimaru has been staying here, probably because he doesn't want to make things too ugly, so he can wait for Bai Yu's arrival.
Orochimaru understood what Bai Yu meant and didn't say much.
"Anyway, I have to thank you for Ziyuan." Bai Yu picked up the empty wine glass beside him.
"Dad, let me come." Ziyuan quickly picked up the wine bottle and poured wine for Bai Yu and Orochimaru.
"I respect you." Bai Yu raised his glass and drank it in one gulp.
Orochimaru and Bai Yu clinked glasses.
After drinking a few drinks, Bai Yu changed the topic: "Apart from Yanyin Village, no one else participated in this matter?"
"As far as I know, no." Orochimaru said solemnly, but he did not disclose the cooperation with Shennong.
"What about here? You are just eating, why do you need to set up a warning barrier?" Bai Yu then asked.
"There are many people from the Land of Earth doing business here, and there are also ninjas from Iwagakure Village who serve as guards. I'm afraid of being discovered by the people from Iwagakure Village. And..." Orochimaru paused: " This hot spring hotel is Beilihu's property, and if he knew about Shion's special ability, he might have other ideas."
"Bilihu's industry?" Bai Yu was slightly startled, but it was reasonable. After all, rebellious ninjas like Orochimaru and Beilihu were still researching various high-end forbidden techniques, which required a lot of resources and funds. Many, just the purchase of experimental equipment and materials is not a small amount.
The key to Bai Yu's early rise was Kushina's financial support, and his current experiments are progressing rapidly. In addition to his strength and the knowledge in the "Book of Ancient Indo Warlocks", he still relies on the large amount of financial support from the Uzumaki clan. maintained.
Bai Yu had invested in Beiliuhu in the early years, but he didn't know if it was time to reap the fruits.
"I made an appointment with Beiruhu to meet here recently. If Shion is not your daughter, I will extract some of her blood and give it to Beiruhu in exchange." Orochimaru was forced to tell the truth.
Bai Yu understood in his heart, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he took out a storage scroll from his arms, and then took out a test tube as thick as a thumb, which contained half a tube of red liquid.
"This is Ziyuan's blood. I used the remaining blood to make demonic defense items for her. This is a thank you gift for saving her this time."
Shiro Yu gave Shion's blood to Orochimaru. It can be seen that Orochimaru did not fuse his blood after obtaining his "Companion Python Meditation Method". He probably discovered the imprint of Shiro Yu's mental power in the blood, so he thought Find the breakthrough point through the blood of resources.
But Bai Yu was not surprised by this. If Orochimaru directly fused his blood, then he would not be Orochimaru.
The civilization of wizards and warlocks has a development history of hundreds of millions of years, and the ancient Yinduo civilization defeated the wizard civilization.
On this basis, Bai Yu worked hard and planned for more than ten years before he was successfully promoted to the first level "Spirit Summoner". If Orochimaru can rely on a little bit of Shion's blood without understanding the key knowledge, he can crack After seeing the imprint of his spiritual power, Bai Yu admired him to the extreme.
However, the power of blood and the shackles of blood cannot be easily broken through by a fourth-level star-level expert, not to mention that even this civilization has never been exposed to Orochimaru.
It's just that Orochimaru's spirit of exploration and knowledge is something Bai Yu admires very much.
Only when such people become their own people can people feel at ease.
If Orochimaru wanted to study, Bai Yu would directly provide him with materials. He really wanted to see how far Orochimaru could go with his limited knowledge.
"..."
Orochimaru took the test tube from Bai Yu's hand and fell into silence.
Obviously Bai Yu has seen through his thoughts, but still allows him to study. This is really...
At this moment, Bai Yu's expression changed slightly.
"The Konoha side has also started! Crouching dragon and phoenix chick are really amazing."
Through the connection between souls, the Kodama incarnation Uchiha Issei relayed to him what happened in Konoha.
Kumogakure's ninjas set out directly under the cover of night to bring Hinata Hizashi back to Kumogakure Village.
And Hyuga Hizashi would commit suicide when he and Kumogakure's ninjas left the border of the Land of Fire, destroying the Byakugan with the caged bird technique.
"What's wrong?" Noticing the change in Bai Yu's expression, Orochimaru couldn't help but ask.
"It's nothing." Bai Yu smiled: "Ziyuan has been here for so long, it's time to go home. I have to take her back to see Maitreya, and I have to leave now."
Hearing this, Orochimaru glanced at Shion, and then nodded.
Bai Yu waved goodbye to Orochimaru. As soon as he picked up Shion, Shion looked up and said:
"Dad, can I still come to see Mr. Orochimaru in the future? I think it's fun to stay with him. Anyway, you and mom don't have time to spend time with me. It should be okay if I want to stay with your teacher, right?"
Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Orochimaru.
Orochimaru: (⊙?⊙)
"Go home first." Bai Yu said angrily, and quickly took Ziyuan away.
...
On the way back, Shion kept mentioning Orochimaru. It was obvious that she had been very happy these days.
"I didn't expect that I took away Orochimaru's subordinates, but my daughter..."
Bai Yu had no choice but to send Zi Yuan back to the Kingdom of Ghosts first.
After handing Shion over to Maitreya, he will return here.
This time we can't just let it go.
He wants to teach Iwagakure a profound lesson!
On the other side, "Kodama" received Bai Yu's order and set off from the Akatsuki organization stronghold in Yuyin Village, heading to Tian Country to intercept the Kumogakure envoy halfway.
As for whether this will offend Yunyin Village, it was done by the Akatsuki organization, and it has nothing to do with him, Yagami Baiyu.
