"We're done for!" Loulan Yuying looked at the scene in front of him with a pale face. This was already something that could not be salvaged! He did not expect that someone would actually have designs on God's Altar, and furthermore…they succeeded!？He should have thought of this after the Vermillion Bird Hall was exterminated. Why? Why did it become like this?
The surrounding people had already given up on resisting. In the face of the power of nature, they simply could not…Humans could not resist the world! Disappointment, pain, or regret?
Feng Hua Temple looked at the scene in front of her and did not know how to express her feelings. She grabbed the collar of an old man who looked older and shouted,"Is there no other way?! Couldn't this altar stop?”At this time, she did not care about seniority and etiquette. It was only when the old man was awakened by her murderous aura that he reacted.
"There's a way. We just have to destroy the altar! However…How could there be such a powerful force that could destroy an altar? Thinking of this, the old man's eyes dimmed again. There was no more hope…
Destroying the altar was enough? Since that was the case…the Wind Flower Temple immediately began to take action."Black and white net, twenty-two bridges, sixty-six crown belts, footprints, distant thunder, peaks, returning to the ground, night, sea of clouds, blue ranks, fill Tai Yuan and soar into the sky! The 77th of the Binding Dao-Sky!”What the Wind Flower Temple was currently using was the information transmission auxiliary ghost path of the binding path. Through spiritual pressure, it could search for the location of multiple opponents, capture and transmit messages. It could transmit the words that the caster wanted to transmit through spiritual pressure, similar to radio transmission. As long as the exact location of the other party was captured, the message could be transmitted. She wrote the incantation on her arm and chanted the incantation. The capture was complete, and the positions of all the people were confirmed." Everyone, listen up. I'm Gong He of Fenghua Temple! Now, I order you to immediately leave the 300-meter radius around the altar. Anyone who doesn't do as I say will bear the consequences! Also, if you guys dare to give up like this, I will definitely send you to hell! They had already heard up to this point, yet all of them still didn't hurry up and get lost!？”
The angry voice filled everyone's ears. Everyone suddenly came to their senses after being shouted at. Yes, since there was a glimmer of hope, he had to grasp it! The shower head thought of the words that Feng Hua Temple often taught them in the past. It was true. If they gave up like this, they would really be unwilling!
Everyone began to retreat quickly, leaving enough space for the Wind Flower Temple to cast their spells.
" That's enough!" He gathered his spiritual pressure and adjusted his condition to the best.”With a confident smile on his face, the Fenghua Temple raised his saber and flipped in the air, slashing fiercely at the altar. "Shine and burn,[Ghost Fire Red Lotus]! Let your elegance bloom wantonly, this is your power!”
The momentum of the rapid speed was like a flood breaking through the dam. The pressure brought by the soul power of the Wind Flower Temple enveloped the entire area of dozens of miles in radius. The thick ground kept trembling under this terrifying pressure. The inexplicable sound of the wind filled the surrounding air. The space with her as the center was completely controlled by this aura.[Ghost Fire Red Lotus] brought the burning ghost fire and chopped down. The surging and mighty flames were like a sky-covering waterfall. With an indomitable momentum, he rushed towards the altars that were on the verge of collapse! At this moment, a strange blue light shot into the sky, as if it wanted to connect heaven and earth as one. Even the sun in the sky lost its color!
Boom!
This sound was like the sky collapsing and the earth shattering. The dazzling light gradually dissipated, followed by the despairing energy in the altar. Explosions sounded one after another, and smoke and dust filled the air. Everyone could not believe what was happening in front of them!
After a long time, the smoke dissipated, and everything returned to its bright and clear state. However, a bottomless ravine lay in front of them. The neat cracks made people believe that this was man-made. The altar in the center had long been divided into two, each on the two sides of the ravine. The bird village had already become a piece of cake that had been cut open. The people on both sides looked at each other from afar, their faces lifeless, as if they had lost their souls. Feng Hua Temple, who was on the other side, was also dumbfounded. She knew that her sword could condense ghost fire and release it fiercely, but she had never thought that it could cause such a great power! When he broke through the bottleneck, although the surrounding mountains were destroyed beyond recognition, it was definitely not like this time. Such a terrifying destructive power was definitely above S class!
Speaking of which, Bird Village was not big, but it was not small either. This was a small mountain village with a population of nearly 600. It occupied an area of about a few hundred miles, but now it had been cut in half! Who could imagine the power of this attack? Shower Head, White Tail, Qi Huo, and the others hid behind the crystal defense of the flower wedding and watched everything. They did not know how to express their feelings. No one had ever considered how powerful the Wind Flower Temple was, nor did they know what level the Wind Flower Temple had reached. However, after this incident in the bird village, they felt that they had some understanding! Even Qi Huo of the Vermillion Bird Hall, who was far more powerful than the others, was furious. He had always been proud of his powerful attacks and power. He had absolute confidence in his own strength and had a certain sense of superiority compared to his companions. However, this time, the Wind Flower Temple had completely shattered his superiority! At this moment, Qi Huo began to truly understand himself and face his own strength. He broke his arrogant attitude and was no longer complacent. Perhaps after this stimulation, his progress would be even faster!
"This…is the serious Sister Gong He!？”White-tailed muttered to himself. His hands clenched into fists without him realizing it. The stimulation this time was not something that only Qi Huo could feel! No wonder he had never seen her unsheathe her sword since he met her. So this was Sister Gong He's true strength…
After the chaos, the horror gradually subsided, and everyone calmed down. All the survivors of Bird Village gathered in a temporary club, including Gong He and his group from Fenghua Temple.
The old man who had been grabbed by the collar and questioned by the Wind Flower Temple expressed his gratitude to them. It turned out that he was one of the directors of Bird Village. His name was Loulan Broken River, Loulan Prison Shadow's grandfather.
In one room, Feng Hua Temple and Loulan Duan He sat opposite each other. The rest of the people stayed in other rooms.
"On behalf of everyone in Bird Village, I thank Lord Gong He of Fenghua Temple for saving the villagers here!”Loulan Duanhe bowed in greeting, his words revealing his sincerity.
Fenghua Temple also bowed and accepted the old man's thanks. She knew that this was the old man's thanks for his incomparable love for the bird village. It was obviously inappropriate to refuse. Then, he thought of something and awkwardly said to Lou Lan and Broken River,"I'm really sorry for being so rude to you just now!”
"No, it's not like that! It was this old man who felt ashamed to have given up just like that. If not for the reprimand of Lord Gong He of the Fenghua Temple, this old man might not have been able to face the dead villagers and wander on the road to hell!”At this point, the old man revealed a regretful expression. He eased his mood and continued,"I heard from Young Master Qihuo that you're a special Jounin from the Kinoha Ninja Village.”
"Yes, captain of the third recovery team under Naruto's jurisdiction!”
"As expected of Lord Feng Hua Temple! Speaking of which, you should know about the relationship between Muye's Empty Nest Clan and the extinct Vermillion Bird Hall Clan, and we, Bird Village, are the internal martial officials of the Vermillion Bird Hall Clan, so there's no need to hide this matter from you. Moreover, you saved Young Master Qihuo, my granddaughter, Prison Shadow, and the entire Bird Village.”
"Yes, Elder, please speak." Upon hearing this, the Wind Flower Temple also somewhat understood some things. If they were to pursue the matter, whether it was the Vermillion Bird Hall or the Bird Village, they all belonged to Mu Ye's family! Obviously, this was the result of the main family and the external family for some reason. What was surprising was that the one who compromised was actually the main family!
"It's like this…"
The old man slowly explained the history of this noble family. It turned out that hundreds of years ago, before ninjas existed, the name of the Vermilion Bird Hall clan had once resounded throughout this land. They were a great clan that practiced the Yin Yang Dao!
That's right, the famous Onmyoji family, the Vermillion Bird Hall, was the pride of this land. Their clan had excellent astrology and divination abilities as well as Yin-Yang illusions. Not only did they know how to observe the constellations and face, but they also knew how to determine the location, predict disasters, draw talismans, recite spells, and perform illusions. They also knew the reason for the invisible forces such as fate, souls, and ghosts, and they had the ability to control these things. This was the mysterious and noble Onmyoji clan! As everyone knew, the main Spirit-branded Retainers summoned by Onmyoji were the Soaring Serpent, Vermilion Bird, Six Directions, Gouzhen, Azure Dragon, Tianyi, Tianhou, Taiyin, Xuanwu, White Tiger, Taishang, and Tiankong. However, the Yin Yang Way of the Vermilion Bird Hall was slightly different. The twelve Spirit-branded Retainers of this clan were led by the Vermilion Bird. The Vermilion Bird they summoned was different from other Onmyoji, which was why there was such a strange change.
Most people thought that the Vermilion Bird was a phoenix, but that was not true. Phoenixes were birds of fire, the king of all birds. However, the Vermilion Bird was a subspecies of the Phoenix family. It was even rarer than the Phoenix. The Vermilion Bird, like the Flying Snake, was of the dark fire attribute. The Vermilion Bird had a powerful attack power that surpassed the Phoenix. It was a revered southern divine beast! The Vermillion Bird Hall was originally dedicated to the Vermillion Bird, and the Vermillion Bird was the leader of their Spirit-branded Retainers. This Yin Yang Path family had powerful strength, noble status, and a huge family system. However, all of this could not resist the changes of the times. With the emergence of the ninja profession, the Onmyoji gradually withdrew from the stage of history. The once glorious Yin Yang Path also gradually declined, but the ninjas, who were the armed forces of the country, shone brightly. They were constantly active in the eyes of the people. In battles and missions, the ninjas gradually demonstrated their advantages. Therefore, the Onmyoji, who could not be used as a fighting force or a national force, were gradually forgotten by the people. The once glorious Vermilion Bird Hall clan was gradually seen as a declining noble family in the era when ninjas overshadowed Onmyoji.
Just like that, the internal conflict of the Vermillion Bird Hall clan was born. As the main branch of the Vermilion Bird Hall, they naturally supported the development of the Yin Yang Doctrine. After all, this was the foundation of their ancestors 'inheritance for many generations. As a branch family, they believed that the current society was not suitable for the development and survival of Yin Yang Masters. They advocated changing into ninjas in order to adapt to society and let the declining Vermilion Bird Hall clan prosper again. This was the so-called choice. Faced with social change, should he choose to follow the mainstream or decide to change the mainstream? In fact, no matter what choice the branch family and the main family made, their original starting point was the same. They were all for the glory and status of the Vermillion Bird Hall, because this was the dignity of the nobles!
Just as the main and branch families of the Vermilion Bird Hall were arguing with each other, various countries had established their own ninja villages. The first generation of the Wood Leaf Ninja Village of the Country of Fire, Naruto, sent an invitation letter to the Vermilion Bird Hall, hoping that the Vermilion Bird Hall would join the Wood Leaf Village and become one of the pillars of power in the village. What happened next was easy to imagine. The branch family of Suzaku House, who agreed to transform into a ninja, accepted the invitation of the first generation Naruto and joined the ranks of the Koba Ninjas. The main family of Suzaku House, who insisted on the development of Yin-Yang Dao, continued to stay in the place where their ancestors had established their foundation, hoping that one day, Onmyoji would appear in front of the world again.
Later on, the branch family of the Vermilion Bird Hall that joined the Koba Ninja Village changed their surname to Kongchao. From then on, the branch family of the Onmyoji family became a ninja family with the secret technique to control all birds. Their ability to use the Yin Yang Way and the scrolls that recorded their glorious history were sealed in the darkness for many years.
On the other hand, the Vermilion Bird Hall's main family wanted to bring the Yin Yang Doctrine to greater heights once again. This incomparably prosperous and glorious family could not resist the trend of reform at all. In the face of the ninjas who were constantly showing their superiority, they were powerless. They had to admit that ninjas were indeed more adapted to the current society than Yin Yang Masters. Ninjas could exist as the military force of a country. They only needed a few years of learning to be produced. They did not have the strict requirements and standards of Onmyoji. They did not need much spiritual power, supernatural abilities, or the foundation of being proficient in astronomy and geography. Ninjas could engage in large-scale battles. They were not restricted like Onmyoji. Ninjas could replenish their strength very quickly. They did not need to constantly train and have extraordinary talent like Onmyoji. It could be said that ninjas were a type of new force that was born quickly and had great practicality. Their strength involved the general public, while Onmyoji could only be used as a support or a lone combatant. In fact, in today's society, Onmyoji was a useless profession! Although Yin-Yang Masters had mysterious powers, they were difficult to be born into. The aptitude and talents required were not something that ordinary people could achieve. Moreover, their growth was irregular. These conditions and restrictions determined that the Yin-Yang Dao could not return to its former status.
As the protector of the Vermillion Bird Hall, the Loulan family would naturally follow the Vermillion Bird Hall. However, due to certain reasons, the Loulan family could not appear in the open, so they lived in seclusion in Bird Village and secretly protected the Vermillion Bird Hall. However, even if he was guilty, the Vermillion Bird Hall already had the power to begin with. At some point, the news that the Vermillion Bird Clan's Vermillion Bird was the Vermillion Bird had spread. Just like that, trouble followed. In the end, the Vermillion Bird Hall's power was coveted by some people. In order to snatch this powerful power, the Vermillion Bird Hall's entire clan was exterminated. However, no one knew where the Vermillion Bird was, and the unknown organization with evil intentions returned empty-handed. After less than two years, someone had inquired about the relationship between Bird Village and Vermilion Bird Hall. They also learned that there was some connection between the altar and Vermilion Bird in Bird Village. Therefore, they had set their sights on Bird Village, which led to the scene where Wind Flower Temple and the others had just arrived.
The Vermilion Bird Hall, which had existed for hundreds of years, was completely destroyed, and its mysterious Vermilion Bird was missing. The bird village, which had been noticed by thieves, was almost destroyed. First, it was eliminated by the era and then destroyed by the covetous eyes of others. It was unknown if this was the tragic end of the Vermillion Bird Hall. If that was the case, why did it still leave behind the powerful Vermillion Bird Hall's Qi Flame? Feng Hua Temple listened silently to the rise and fall of the Vermilion Bird Hall, the Onmyoji family that spanned hundreds of years. The former prosperity was now buried under the dust of history. What was revealed to the world was a sad and helpless picture of sacrifice due to the changes in history. Recalling the scene not long ago, she sighed and discarded the complicated thoughts in her mind. She asked,"Elder Loulan, in that case, the reason why the God Altar gathered energy and prepared to blow up this place is because their goal has been achieved, right?”
He remembered that the arrogant guy with indigo hair had once said," It's too late." This meant that they had achieved their goal this time!
Nodding regretfully, Loulan Duanhe seemed to have aged in an instant, giving people the feeling that he was about to rot. His face, which was like an old tree bark that was engraved with the vicissitudes of history, was filled with sadness. After a long time, he said,"This time, the Vermillion Bird Hall is really going to disappear…I've let down the trust of my ancestors, and I've let down the love of generations of the Vermillion Bird Hall. I don't have the face to see them again!”
His words shocked everyone. Feng Hua Temple felt the seriousness of the matter and could not help but ask hurriedly,"What exactly is going on?"
Loulan Duanhe shook his head helplessly and sighed.""Lord Feng Hua Temple, please don't tell young master Qi Huo about this!”He took a sip of tea and walked to the window to look at the destroyed altar in the distance."The altar in Bird Village was built when we lived here in seclusion. It's actually a sealing altar, and there's a scroll sealed inside. It's something that the Vermillion Bird Hall has guarded for generations. Although it's only a medium, it's extremely important to the Vermillion Bird Hall…"
Time was slowly slipping away. The tired birds returned to their nests in the distance. The sun was setting outside the window, but the room was eerily quiet. Fenghua Temple crossed her arms, her fingernails deeply digging into her skin. She leaned against the window, the bright sunlight shining on her handsome face. No one knew what she was thinking. The old man sighed and his face was covered in tears.
"I have let down the people of Vermillion Bird Hall, let down the dead villagers of Bird Village, let down the trust of my ancestors…"
His voice trembled. It was unknown if he was repenting or expressing himself.
" Don't let anyone else know about this." Fenghua Temple put away the Zanwu Sword beside them, loosened its clenched fist, and looked back at the absent-minded old man." I know the seriousness of this matter, so please keep this secret, Elder. Not only Qi Huo, but also no one else!" I'll find a way to find this organization. Since they can't undo the seal on the scroll for the time being, we still have a chance to salvage the situation! Elder, as the spiritual pillar of Bird Village, if you fall first, what will happen to the people of Bird Village? If you give up like this, how are you going to meet the ancestors of the Vermillion Bird Hall?”Her voice was filled with anger, but there was also determination. This was Gong He of the Fenghua Temple. He never gave up hope and never easily compromised. He had always been decisive and capable. As long as there was hope, he would definitely seize the opportunity! After saying that, she walked out of the room and put on a smile.
Except for Elder Loulan, the Wind Flower Temple, and the deceased ancestors, no one knew what Bird Village was guarding, what was sealed in the altar, what secrets the old man had told them, what the Wind Flower Temple knew, and why she had made up her mind. Even the mysterious organization that had achieved their goal did not know what they had obtained!
From today onwards, Feng Hua Temple had a secret in their heart. It was not a secret related to her, but this secret had also bound her with an invisible pressure and the responsibility of a promise. Perhaps only when this unknown was solved would the truth surface!
However, Qi Huo of Vermillion Bird Hall, who was at the center of the storm, did not know what all of this had to do with him…
