Chapter 538

357. Yae Miko: I'll go pick up Ei and give her a scare

Hearing Ei's arrangement, Kujou Sara looked at Ei in a daze, but still gritted her teeth and agreed.

She also understood Ei's meaning; nowadays, only cultivation could save Inazuma.

If she went to Shushan and focused on cultivation, she could still contribute to the survival of Inazuma.

Individual power will be pushed to the limit in the future.

Not returning to Inazuma...

Then don't return.

If something happens in the future, she can still come back to help.

After arranging Kujou Sara and communicating with Kamisato Ayato about how to govern Inazuma before she succeeded in cultivation.

Ei returned to the back hall first.

With her here, others didn't dare to chat casually, and she also needed to adjust her mood.

"General Kujou..."

Kokomi looked at Kujou Sara with some worry; the latter was sitting decadently in place, not knowing what she was thinking.

"No need to call me General, I have already been stripped of my position as General; just call me Kujou Sara..."

Kujou Sara gave a bitter smile and returned to her seat.

"Sara... the General is currently in a fit of anger; later, she will definitely reuse you."

Ayaka comforted her; after all, Kujou Sara was the only one who could lead the army in Inazuma.

Although Kamisato Ayato could also do it, without the Kujou clan and the Hiiragi clan, he had to be responsible for the promotion of government affairs, so he definitely couldn't lead the army.

Only, Kujou Sara shook her head in despair.

"It is my good fortune that the General spared my life; I have also understood that in the future, to make Inazuma better, we must have enough cultivators."

"I will go to Shushan and do my best to cultivate; if I cannot join Shushan, I will try my best to become a martial arts expert."

"I can still contribute to Inazuma."

"It doesn't matter..."

Everyone couldn't say anything and could only skip this topic.

Lumine and Paimon were still recovering their strength, so Kamisato Ayato and the others could only discuss the situation in Inazuma first.

So many people died in one day today, and they were all high-level officials.

Inazuma was definitely going to have a big earthquake.

The most urgent task was to stabilize the situation in Inazuma first.

Fortunately, with Kamisato Ayato's advance arrangements, there was still some room for maneuver.

In the back hall.

Ei sat cross-legged on the ground, feeling some heartache.

"Shogun... is this really right? I... killed so many people today..."

The Shogun was silent for a moment and answered in Ei's heart:

"Everything is for the eternity of Inazuma, for the future."

"A little sacrifice is necessary."

"You have also seen the disaster of spiritual energy recovery just now; you and I both understand that if we don't cut the Gordian knot, it will only lead Inazuma to destruction."

"The past is the past; as you said, you have to look forward."

Ei was silent, took a deep breath, and responded:

"I know... now, I need your help; I want to forge a more perfect barrier."

"At the very least, it can continue to protect Inazuma and suppress fierce beasts for a short time after I leave."

"Shogun, I need you to help me."

The Shogun did not answer, but added her will to Ei.

At this moment, the movement of the ley lines was even more sensitive in Ei's perception.

Ei didn't dare to waste time and connected the ley lines to construct a more detailed and powerful barrier.

Slaughter is for better salvation.

Today in Inazuma was one of the heaviest days in history.

After Ei finished constructing the final barrier, she withdrew her hand somewhat exhaustedly; a moment later, she took out the token Paimon had temporarily lent her.

"Makoto... don't blame me..."

"I have no choice... Inazuma is too dangerous now, I will not allow anyone to cause damage to Inazuma at this juncture."

"After you wake up, no matter how you want to punish me, I can accept it..."

"You will wake up; Lumine said that the great power of cultivators is endless; I will definitely not let you leave me!"

The Shogun watched all this from the depths of her consciousness; in a trance, she felt that her emotions seemed to be more complete.

She didn't understand these things, but after sensing that Lumine had woken up, she still reminded:

"You should set off for Shushan."

Ei nodded and walked toward the banquet hall.

As expected, Lumine and Paimon had woken up and were eating delicious food to replenish their energy.

Seeing Ei come out, everyone fell silent.

Ei didn't care and said softly:

"Lumine, can we go to Shushan now?"

"Of course, I've been wanting to go back for a long time."

Lumine smiled and looked at Ei with complex emotions.

In the end, she didn't say anything else, clapped her hands, and pulled Paimon up.

"Who else wants to come along, might as well bring them."

Ei looked around and said calmly:

"Except for Kamisato Ayato who stays to guard Inazuma, everyone else, go together."

"All of them?"

Lumine was a bit surprised, and Ei nodded.

"For Inazuma, it won't work if I am the only one cultivating; is there any trouble?"

"It's not troublesome."

Lumine waved her hand.

"It's just that Inazuma is facing spiritual energy recovery now, and... the Sect Master has already gone to the Lock-Demon Tower for seclusion, so you won't see him even if you go now."

"For cultivation matters, even with Senior Sister Yae Miko's recommendation, the Sect Master has to review it; others don't have this authority."

"However, if you have made up your mind, then let's go together."

Ei nodded and looked at Kamisato Ayato.

"I have already set up the thunder barrier in Inazuma; it won't affect the people of Inazuma going to sea, but it will suppress fierce beasts."

"For a short time, fierce beasts are not a problem; you should be able to handle it well."

Kamisato Ayato said in a deep voice:

"General, rest assured, I will take good care of Inazuma; General can rest assured to cultivate."

Ei didn't say much more, just looked at Lumine silently.

The latter didn't dawdle either, took out a flying sword, casually pinched a formula, and split it into a pile of flying swords.

"Then let's go, follow me to Shushan."

Seeing a flying sword for the first time, Ei was still a bit curious.

This thing seemed to be the way Lumine used the sword to fight the Shogun in the morning.

It seems that the means of cultivators are truly magical; not only can they fight, but they can also travel.

Perhaps it was also because Ei was here, everyone didn't say anything and followed Lumine onto the flying sword.

"Don't worry."

Seeing everyone looking cautious, Lumine said with a grin:

"My sword-flying technique is very proficient; I won't drop you, rest assured."

Everyone nodded and finally stood firmly on the flying sword.

Lumine waved her hand gently, and the flying sword took everyone into the air.
