Chapter 837: Sealing the Saigyou Ayakashi

Just as Lingyun was closing his eyes to adjust his state, Yakumo Yukari also crawled out from a Gap, covered in sweat.

Because there had been no advance preparation, it had taken quite a lot of effort for Yakumo Yukari to ready everything needed to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi. She had even visited the Saigyouji Clan's storehouse several times; after all, the Saigyouji Clan, which was preparing to completely seal the Saigyou Ayakashi, possessed the most abundant reserves of sealing supplies.

"Lingyun, we are ready on this side!" Yakumo Yukari said upon seeing Lingyun sitting beside the Saigyou Ayakashi.

Lingyun opened his eyes, a flash of gold and silver light vanishing from his gaze. The moment Lingyun opened his eyes, even Yakumo Yukari felt an extremely heavy sense of oppression, along with an unusually familiar feeling.

"Something isn't quite right," Yakumo Yukari muttered in her heart.

"Yukari—" Just at this moment, the voice of Saigyouji Yuyuko came over. Yakumo Yukari cast her thoughts to the back of her mind and looked toward the direction of Saigyouji Yuyuko.

At this time, Saigyouji Yuyuko was dressed in ornate robes, looking just like a Shrine Maiden about to preside over a ritual. However, who could know that she was merely a sacrifice prepared by the Saigyouji Clan to seal the Saigyou Ayakashi? In Saigyouji Yuyuko's hands, she held two fans, and there was a trace of nervousness on her face.

"Lingyun, is there no problem?" Yakumo Yukari asked, still somewhat worried.

"Rest assured, I am watching over everything." Lingyun slowly stood up. "Besides, Yuyuko's current physical condition cannot afford for her to drag this out any longer."

"This... I understand." Yakumo Yukari hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded.

Saigyouji Yuyuko adjusted her breathing, calming her nervous mood: "Yukari, I trust Lingyun!"

"Alright." Yakumo Yukari nodded; at this point, she could only pin her hopes on Lingyun.

"Yuyuko, give me your hand!" Lingyun said.

"Eh?" Saigyouji Yuyuko extended her hand with some confusion.

Lingyun grasped Saigyouji Yuyuko's small hand, and the Source Power within his body continuously poured into hers. For a moment, the Death Qi and demonic energy within Saigyouji Yuyuko were temporarily suppressed by Lingyun's Source Power.

Feeling the warm current slowly flowing through her body, Saigyouji Yuyuko looked at Lingyun with some confusion.

"With your previous physical condition, you wouldn't have lasted until the end of the sealing!" Lingyun said.

After finishing, Lingyun turned his gaze toward Yakumo Yukari: "Yukari, Youki, you two are responsible for handling any unexpected situations that might arise. After all, the commotion of sealing the Saigyou Ayakashi will likely be significant, and even though I have set up an Isolation Array outside, it might not be able to completely shield the perception of certain people."

"Understood, I will definitely not let anyone disturb you!" Yakumo Yukari nodded forcefully.

"Begin!" Lingyun opened his hand, and a Long sword slowly emerged from it. Source Power drifted out from his body toward the surroundings, enveloping the entire courtyard.

Saigyouji Yuyuko nodded, opened the fan in her hand with a *swish*, and began to dance gracefully.

As Saigyouji Yuyuko danced, Lingyun could clearly feel that the Death Qi throughout the entire courtyard seemed to be drawn by her, all beginning to become active. The Saigyou Ayakashi, whose consciousness had been scattered by Lingyun, was also becoming active at this moment; it, which had originally been like a withered tree, began to sprout one flower bud after another. Lingyun could clearly feel what kind of powerful Death Force was contained within these buds.

And the moment the Saigyou Ayakashi became active, the Array Lingyun had placed outside the courtyard was triggered. Layers upon layers of the Array firmly surrounded the courtyard, as if severing it into another world.

Watching Saigyouji Yuyuko's dance, Lingyun could not help but admire that this dance pushed her charm to the limit. Yakumo Yukari's gaze was also firmly glued to Saigyouji Yuyuko; the charm currently on Saigyouji Yuyuko was simply intoxicating.

Following Saigyouji Yuyuko's dance, the Death Force within her body also surged forth. The powerful Death Force even attracted dozens of powerful spirits to appear in broad daylight, rising and falling along with her dance steps. The embellishment of the spirits gave Saigyouji Yuyuko a touch of a Dream-like quality.

"This is the true Princess of the dead; compared to this, in what way can the Saigyou Ayakashi compare?" Lingyun admired Saigyouji Yuyuko's dance and praised in his heart.

As Saigyouji Yuyuko's dance reached its finale, the flowers of the Saigyou Ayakashi suddenly bloomed at this moment, and terrifying Death Qi surged out. If Lingyun had not set up an Isolation Array here early on, this surging Death Qi would have been enough to turn the surrounding hundred miles into a dead zone.

The powerful Death Qi condensed into purple butterflies, dancing and circling around Saigyouji Yuyuko. These were the legendary Rebirth Butterfly, products of death and symbols of death. Originally, after these Rebirth Butterfly appeared, they should have scattered and flown away, but now they were bound by an invisible force around Yuyuko, unable to leave.

Accompanying Saigyouji Yuyuko's final dance steps, the bound Rebirth Butterfly, the attracted ghosts, and the cherry blossoms drifting down from the Saigyou Ayakashi all became the most magnificent embellishments for the current Saigyouji Yuyuko. And the conclusion of this final, most magnificent dance step also represented the curtain call for Saigyouji Yuyuko as a human.

Compared to the nervous Yakumo Yukari, Lingyun's face was calm, and he even had time to use a camera to record this most beautiful scene.

The moment the dance ended, Saigyouji Yuyuko's figure slowly collapsed. Yakumo Yukari's heart tightened, and she was about to rush forward, but was blocked by Lingyun.

"The good show has only just begun!" Lingyun slowly gripped the Long sword in his hand.

The moment Saigyouji Yuyuko fell, the Death Force she had bound simultaneously poured into her body. At the same time, streaks of Array Pattern lit up, forming a massive Array with her and the Saigyou Ayakashi at the center.

Under the effect of the Array, Yakumo Yukari could see Saigyouji Yuyuko's body seemingly turn into a black hole, frantically devouring the power of the Saigyou Ayakashi. The Saigyou Ayakashi instinctively sensed its own crisis and let out a shrill shriek, wanting to break free from the constraints of the Array. But how could the Saigyou Ayakashi break free from the Array Lingyun had set? Unable to break out of the Array, the Saigyou Ayakashi could only watch helplessly as its power was continuously devoured by Saigyouji Yuyuko. A gray, misty light suddenly detached from the body of the Saigyou Ayakashi and merged into Saigyouji Yuyuko's body.

"Did it succeed?" Watching this scene, Yakumo Yukari could not help but clench her fan.

Just at this moment, the wind and clouds in the sky changed color. Yakumo Yukari's expression sank; she felt a terrifying existence seemingly cast its gaze here.

"Has it come, Will of the Netherworld?" Lingyun said slowly. "Leave the rest to me!"
