Protagonist:

Zang Ye

In the dead of night, Zang Ye and the others, already deep in dreamland, were startled awake by a surge of demonic aura.

Above Maple Leaf Village, black mist permeated the sky, lightning flashed and thunder roared; a ferocious silhouette could be faintly discerned within the black mist.

Inuyasha's expression was grave: "What an immense demonic aura……"

Kaede spoke with some distress: "Such immense demonic aura differs from ordinary yokai — it is a peerless great demon; only, I do not know what purpose brings him to the village."

Nifa Jieluo, beside Zang Ye, trembled all over, eyes filled with fear: "How terrifying!"

"Never seen before a yokai with demonic aura this strong."

Zang Ye at the side frowned; this immense demonic aura gave him a sense of familiarity.

Immediately after, Kaede, Zang Ye, Inuyasha, Kagome, and Nifa Jieluo exited the house one after another.

Raising their heads to look at that mass of immense demonic aura in the sky, all wore faces full of shock.

At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage appeared within the black mist, flying through the air.

The curtain covering the carriage was blown open by a breeze; inside sat a woman clad in red clothes, bearing a proud and noble mien, bound in chains by several blue-skinned imps, her face full of pain.

Her eyes revealed an indescribable sorrow; she looked at the crowd, her lips moved slightly, and she called out: "Inuyasha…"

Seeing the woman in the carriage, Inuyasha's body shook, and he said softly, "Mother…"

"What…"

"That person, is your mother?"

Kagome asked in shock.

Inuyasha did not answer, directly chasing out.

Kaede's face was heavy, revealing a pensive look; after a moment she said, "Inuyasha's mother!?"

"This immense demonic aura…"

"Matters may not be so simple; Inuyasha acting so impulsively can easily fall into a yokai's trap."

Kagome exclaimed in surprise, "Wouldn't that be extremely dangerous!?"

Thinking of this, Kagome also chased out, her mouth incessantly calling Inuyasha's name.

Seeing Kagome had already chased out, Zang Ye turned and said: "Kaede, you and Jieluo stay in the village."

"The other party's background is not simple; one careless move and you would be killed."

Kaede nodded, revealing a resolute look: "Zang Ye, if it truly comes to that, then flee."

"Take Kagome and Inuyasha and them and flee together!"

Zang Ye's expression stirred slightly; Kaede had made the resolve to live or die together with the village.

"Aiya!?"

"Where is there such danger! Kaede you really, with Inuyasha, and me, and Kikyo's reincarnation Kagome, what yokai is enough to beat us."

"Relax, relax!"

Zang Ye spread both hands, a face of nonchalance feigning ease as he spoke.

Kaede revealed a faint smile, "I believe you all will create a miracle."

Zang Ye hugged his head, looking into the distance, "Rest assured, whether it is Inuyasha or Kagome, I will bring them both back."

"Right, Jieluo."

"Protect Kaede well."

Hearing Zang Ye's words, Nifa Jieluo nodded respectfully, "Lord Zang Ye, I will surely use my life to protect Kaede."

Zang Ye glanced back once, then ran off chasing after Kagome and the others.

Watching Zang Ye recede into the distance, Kaede revealed a worried expression, "Zang Ye, hope you all can make it through safely."

………………Divider………………

"Such powerful yet somewhat familiar demonic aura — could the guy who came to Maple Leaf Village be Sesshomaru!?" While running, the scenery around Zang Ye receded extremely fast.

At this time, he frowned, also unable to think of any other yokai possessing this kind of demonic aura.

When Zang Ye arrived at the scene, Inuyasha was being tightly embraced by a faceless yokai — precisely the woman from the carriage that had passed above Maple Leaf Village.

Inuyasha, however, had fallen unconscious; Kagome was bound by several minor yokai, only her eyes open, consciousness clear, yet unable to move.

"Zang Ye…"

Seeing Zang Ye approach, Kagome cried out in her heart, "Hurry and save Inuyasha, Zang Ye!"

"Inuyasha has been hypnotized by that faceless yokai."

In the water's reflection beside them, the woman embracing Inuyasha had no face — utterly terrifying.

【Ding-dong! Sign-in target detected: Faceless Woman. Sign in!?】

Zang Ye's expression froze; he muttered inwardly.

【Sign in!】

【Sign-in successful, gained Swiftness. Fuse!?】

【Fuse!】

【Fusion successful!】

The Faceless Woman is formed from resentment — a yokai born from the accumulated resentment of countless mothers who lost their children.

At this moment, she yet sought to merge Inuyasha and herself into one; both hands had already pierced into Inuyasha's body.

Inuyasha's half body had already sunk into the Faceless Woman's body.

Regarding this, Inuyasha was completely unaware.

"What are you still waiting for."

"What are you spacing out for, Zang Ye! Inuyasha is about to completely merge into that Faceless Yokai's body."

Zang Ye had just moved when he sensed a dangerous aura attacking from behind.

Zang Ye's mouth corner twitched, "Activate Swiftness!"

Zang Ye's body, like a phantom, dodged the large fireball's attack.

The ground was burned into a several-meter-wide black pit.

"Uh~"

"Dodged it!?"

Jaken, holding the Staff of Heads, said with some disbelief.

Seeing opposite, a half-person-tall little yokai, yet wearing noble attire, Zang Ye was slightly stunned,

"Jaken!?"

Jaken blanked for a moment, said with some surprise, "Unexpected, you this Half-Demon brat, actually recognize me Jaken."

Zang Ye did not answer Jaken, but instead stared fixedly at a figure behind Jaken.

"Jaken, quickly ask out the grave's secret."

"Otherwise, I'll kill you!!"

Jaken's expression blanked, immediately followed by extreme terror, scrambling and running away, "Understood, Young Master Sesshomaru."

Seeing the aloof and cold Sesshomaru, Zang Ye muttered in heart: (Unexpectedly, it really is this guy. Looks like, he came for Tessaiga.)

Seeing Zang Ye's appearance, Sesshomaru frowned slightly, a green long whip condensing in hand, coldly said: "From your body, I smell a familiar and detestable scent."

Zang Ye grinned, he of course knew what Sesshomaru referred to.

Inside Zang Ye's body, there was Inuyasha's Half-Demon Blood, that was what he gained from signing in.

Naturally, this kind of matter Zang Ye of course would not say out.

Seeing Sesshomaru about to make a move, Zang Ye reached out to stop,

"Wait!"

"Sesshomaru, you coming here should not be specifically to kill us and Inuyasha right."

Sesshomaru did not reply, merely the disdain in his eyes sufficed to indicate everything.

(Truly aloof and cold ah!)

Zang Ye's expression shifted slightly, continued, "Since not, whatever you do, we also will not stop you."

Kagome lying on the ground, hearing Zang Ye's words, heart very anxious, "Zang Ye, what joke are you making."

"Inuyasha, clearly about to be killed soon."

At this time, Jaken appeared before the Faceless Woman, Staff of Heads in hand heavily smashed her once, "Faceless Woman, asked it out yet or not."

"If not asked out soon, I'll be killed by Young Master Sesshomaru!!"
