Chapter 88

He knew,

the White Snake Immortal would definitely be able to sense his presence,

so he would certainly send someone out to greet him!!

Sure enough,

after not too long,

three girls of breathtaking beauty and bewitching figures appeared before Hashirama Senju.

"Honored guest, may we ask what business brings you to Ryūchi Cave?..."

After the three Great Divine Princesses came into close contact with Hashirama Senju,

they felt their scalp tingle and their hearts pound even more!!

They simply could not imagine,

how on earth this human before them had cultivated?!

The feeling Hashirama Senju gave them was even more terrifying than the White Snake Immortal within the cave.

Just by standing here and speaking,

all three felt an incomparably immense pressure!!

Although the three appeared in human form,

Hashirama Senju still saw through their true bodies at a single glance.

"It's nothing... I just heard from Mount Myōboku that the senjutsu of Ryūchi Cave is no less than theirs."

"So this time I came to Ryūchi Cave specifically... to ask the White Snake Immortal to teach me the senjutsu of Ryūchi Cave."

"Now it seems those frogs over at Mount Myōboku really didn't deceive me... the senjutsu cultivated at Ryūchi Cave truly has its own merits."

Listening to Hashirama Senju's casual tone.

A trace of displeasure rose in the hearts of the three Great Divine Princesses.

Throughout history, every human who came to their Ryūchi Cave seeking to cultivate senjutsu,

which one of them wasn't reverent and respectful?

When had a human as casual as Hashirama Senju ever appeared,

as if his coming to Ryūchi Cave to cultivate senjutsu was a blessing for their Ryūchi Cave.

On top of that, the aura on Hashirama Senju's body still carried the aura of Mount Myōboku,

which made the three Great Divine Princesses dislike him even more in their hearts!!

Their relationship with Mount Myōboku,

had always been extremely poor since ancient times.

Among the three Great Sacred Grounds, only those two Sacred Grounds were on hostile terms.

"Hmph!! This guest, please go back!!"

"Our Ryūchi Cave is not like those stinky frogs of Mount Myōboku, our senjutsu is never taught to outsiders!!"

"If you came this time to cultivate the senjutsu of Ryūchi Cave, I'm afraid you'll only be disappointed..."

The green-haired Tagitsuhime said coldly,

she directly gave Hashirama Senju a dismissal.

And the attitudes of the other two Great Divine Princesses were no better,

with a strong feeling that they would immediately act at the slightest disagreement.

Seeing the attitudes of the three,

Hashirama Senju merely smiled and said lightly.

"Do you think when I said that... I was asking you?"

"Since when did you get that illusion?"

After Hashirama Senju spoke these words,

the three Great Divine Princesses felt as if they had been targeted by an incomparably terrifying existence.

An extremely strong killing intent firmly locked onto the three of them,

they even felt they could not breathe,

and had even lost the ability to speak!!!

Terrified, they widened their eyes,

only then did they remember just how terrifying the man opposite them was!!

He might very well be an existence on par with the White Snake Immortal,

and yet the three of them, thinking they had Ryūchi Cave at their backs,

had dared to challenge him face to face...

The three gradually began to grow dizzy,

their consciousness even turning fuzzy.......

They would die!!!

This man would really make a move!!!

We really would die here!!!

The three of them screamed frantically in their hearts.

At the same time, a deep sense of regret welled up in their hearts,

regretting why they had spoken rudely to Hashirama Senju,

forgetting the gap in strength between them,

They had taken him for a human who had come seeking instruction earlier!!!

Just as the three of them thought they might die,

a voice appeared in their minds,

breaking the deathly silence.

"Honored guest, the fault this time lies with us…"

"If Tagakimi-hime and the other two have done anything amiss, I offer you my apologies here…"

"If the guest wishes to train in the senjutsu of Ryūchi Cave, then naturally I am more than willing. Please accompany the three of them to Ryūchi Cave to see for yourself…"

Zhang Da gaped his mouth wide, gasping for breath in great gulps,

and the three great god-queens stared in terror at Hashirama Senju before them.

Just a moment ago, they had truly thought they were going to die!!

And they truly did not doubt that Hashirama Senju had genuinely intended to kill them!!

"Well then, since it's come to this, the three of you shall lead the way…"

Hashirama Senju chuckled softly,

as if what had just happened were merely an illusion.

The three great god-queens were not wrong in their thinking—

Hashirama Senju had indeed just now harbored killing intent!!!

His purpose in heading to Ryūchi Cave this time was to train in senjutsu.

If he could negotiate peacefully, that would naturally be ideal.

If peaceful negotiation was not possible,

then Hashirama Senju was prepared to take it by force himself.

Even if the White Snake Sage was unwilling to tell him the secrets of Ryūchi Cave's senjutsu,

he believed that if he slaughtered the White Snake Sage,

he could study it himself slowly,

and still work out the secrets of Ryūchi Cave's senjutsu,

it would simply take longer, that's all.

The former would take less time, but would be somewhat troublesome.

The latter would take more time, but would be straightforward,

and for Hashirama Senju it made no difference either way—

as long as the goal could be achieved, that was enough.

Hashirama Senju walked along the path,
