"Haha... Padikas! Even the death cries of livestock awaiting slaughter are more pleasant than this name."

"The wounded Xuanfeng person's face showed no fear: 'No matter what you say, lowly Aohema person…… "NingzhanshiwuRonggui"—the Xuanfeng spirit will forever defend me!'"

"You foolish savage, since you are eager to seek death, I will fulfill it for you!"

"You foolish savage, since you are eager to seek death, I will grant it!"

"Xing immediately moved to stop them, but the two opponents they faced were merely illusions; Xing's bat passed straight through the opponent's head, and could only watch helplessly as the Xuanfeng person was inevitably stabbed to death by an Aohema soldier."

"Wandi closed his eyes, slightly turned his head, unable to bear seeing his subject die an unjust death."

'"Ah... ah... Maidemos... oh king..." With a painful wail, Padikas collapsed in a pool of blood; at the brink of death he stretched out his blood‑stained hand toward the sky, his voice full of incomprehension and resentment: "Why must we be abandoned to the slaughterer's blade in a foreign land?"'

"This is…… the content of Baie's trial?"

"This is…… the content of Baie's trial?"

"Hashirama stared for a moment, not understanding why Baie's trial would contain so many Xuanfeng people; he remembered that Xiadie had once said that when Wandi brought the Xuanfengcheng people to Aohema, it was the final stage of the Golden War—could Baie already have been in Aohema back then?"

"But what also caught his attention was this group of Aohema people in the sky; for some reason he suddenly recalled how, when founding Konoha, the villagers regarded the Uchiha clan."

"But what also caught his attention was this group of Aohema people in the sky; for some reason he suddenly recalled how, when founding Konoha, the villagers regarded the Uchiha clan."

"Although Konoha back then was meant to be more inclusive and the village had gained lasting peace, Tobirama always regarded the Uchiha clan as a destabilizing factor. Now it seems that even the Xuanfeng and Aohema peoples, whose differences once led them to cross swords, can set aside past grievances and share peace—so his early vision of peace was not just a daydream."

"If only we could have persuaded Madara to stay when he decided to leave, letting him continue leading the Uchiha clan—just as Wandi does now—perhaps none of these later troubles would have occurred."

'"Older brother, I know what you're thinking." Tobirama frowned, "Xuanfeng people and the Uchiha clan are different; they are born more prone to extremism than others, this is imprinted in their bloodline. Whereas Xuanfeng people merely differ in culture from Aohema; after generations of education they can become a unified whole."'

"Moreover, the Uchiha clan also has strong exclusivity, which dooms them to never truly integrate into peace."

Translation: "Moreover, the Uchiha clan's internal exclusivity dooms them to never truly integrate into peace." We'll output: "Moreover, the Uchiha clan's internal exclusivity dooms them to never truly integrate into peace."

"Hashirama shook his head: "That's also because initially we didn't give them trust…""

Translation: "Hashirama shook his head: 'That's also because at the very beginning we didn't give them trust…'" We'll output: "Hashirama shook his head: 'That's also because at the very beginning we didn't give them trust…'"

'"Older brother!" Tobirama, somewhat agitated, "Unconditional trust will only become indulgence toward the Uchiha clan! We've also heard that in the end they still turned to rebellion."'

"Now the Uchiha clan only has Sasuke left; accommodating one person is much easier than accommodating a group. Although this process is cruel, at least the peace that older brother hoped for can already be seen a little."

Translation: "Now the Uchiha clan has only Sasuke left; taking in one person is far easier than taking in a group.

The frenzied Aohema soldiers slowly turned around, their bodies began to twist and deform, taking the form of Nicadoli's retinue: 'You are... ha, the leader of the wild dogs actually came to your door yourself! Since the Xuanfeng people are eager to die—then I'll give you a quick death!'

The monster roared as it charged forward, but in the next second Wandi grabbed its head; accompanied by the sound of stone shattering, the soldier's head that had just been smug was crushed, turning into a pile of stone powder.

"This unfathomable killing intent… is Nicadoli's wrath." After dealing with him, Wandi spat disdainfully, "…utterly absurd. I know this Aohema person; he was an upright warrior, but the conflict molded him into this twisted form. And there's that noisy voice… whenever it sounds, the killing intent in my heart becomes impossible to suppress."

"Bai'e must have been dazed by that battle cry, losing himself… hum, useless fool." As he spoke, Wandi lifted his chin high, looking extremely arrogant.

The two continued forward along the main road, and soon encountered an acquaintance of Wandi—the great artisan Hatonoos who had previously helped them repair their weapons.

He had completely descended into madness, incessantly insulting Wandi; he fished out a seal ring from his pocket and threw it at Wandi, berating him to get out of Aohema.

"This… mother's seal ring?"

Looking at the seal ring bearing the mark of the Conflict Titan, the surrounding air grew hot again; Wandi sensed something wrong, grabbed Star and retreated a few steps.

"—Careful!"

Hatoni was just about to undergo an aberration when a slender figure shot through the air, piercing Hatonoos's phantom. Danheng put away his spear, keeping a distance of four or five steps from them, watching them warily.

"Is this Danheng's phantom this time…?"

"Wait. His aura is different, very tranquil." Wandi stopped her.

"Not bad, looks like we can still communicate. The gray-haired warrior over there, answer me—" Danheng cleared his throat, "—before I opened the sea in the Scale Abyss Realm, what was the last thing you said to me?"

——

Azure Archive.

"Ha?? Who could possibly answer this kind of question? Before posing such a question, does Danheng himself even know the answer?"

Inside the nighttime rabbit park, Saki's voice startled several birds perched on the branches; her shadow was cast on the tent, showing how agitated she was.

Moei sat cross-legged on the sleeping bag, holding a cup of hot cocoa in both hands, tilting her head as she seriously pondered: "Mm… I should know, right? But it doesn't matter, hehe… If we confirm that everyone here is an enemy, then he can freely use the Dragon Lord's power, summon that great water dragon~ and engulf all of Aohema——

Just imagining Danheng's water dragon smashing those monsters into disarray, Moei couldn't help but clutch her face, letting out a foolish "hehe" laugh.

"Cough…!" Miyako lightly coughed twice, interrupting, "Well, actually it's not as complicated as you think, Saki. This tricky question: only those who can answer are enemies, those who can't are allies—no, that's not right either; if it were Himeko or Mr. Walter, they might have a faint impression."

"But compared to this irrelevant matter, the point is still this strange trial—clearly it's Bai'e's trial, so why does everything that appears relate to Wandi, and moreover, all of them are scenes he's unwilling to face."
