Chapter 161

Recently, Shinto and youkai have felt that the world has become a little faster, so fast that they are completely confused and don't know how to react.

- Shinto and the leaders of several major youkai forces maintained a high degree of silence and peace in the chaos of the explosion of the Four Souls Jade.

Except, of course, the usual chaotic areas of the south-east.

On the contrary, it was these small monsters outside the large forces and the monsters who did not have a high status that grabbed their heads in order to compete for the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls.

Within the jurisdiction of these several big forces, once these monsters smell a trace of the jade of the four souls, it is like a tiger wolf that has been hungry for more than half a year smells the flesh and swarms with green eyes.

Of course, their behavior has added a lot of trouble to these big forces.

The consequence of causing trouble is that the generals of these forces are unbearable, and finally with a wave of their hands, they order the monsters and hundred ghosts under their command to join them and take the initiative to recover the jade of the four souls.

- This is an external statement.

And everyone understands it internally.

In public and private, they will definitely not let the Jade of the Four Souls remain in their territory.

In the world of these monsters, the worlds of the monsters, those famous monsters and hundred ghosts are like officials in the eyes of humans.

As soon as the official made a move, the strife and chaos caused by the fragments of the Jade of the Four Souls were suppressed in a very short period of time.

The chaos that had just emerged with a small head was strangled in the bud, and when the Shinto side and most of the youkai were waiting for these big forces to tear up for the complete Jade of the Four Souls, something happened that made them stunned.

The forces led by these big monsters, every first half of the month, send messengers to Kaede Village, and hand over the collected Jade of the Four Souls to the shrine maiden who stayed in the Maple Village, the sister of the guardian witch Kikyo of the Jade of the Four Souls, Kaede.

Both the youkai and the Shinto who were watching from the sidelines were confused.

They couldn't understand why Kikyo, who was a natural enemy of youkai, would be helped by so many powerful forces.

It can't be because those big monsters are afraid of the power of the bellflower.

- Don't be kidding, if you can have a force in this troubled world, then you are all monsters whose strength is comparable to that of a great god.

These monsters and Shinto have always maintained a tacit understanding, that is, the monsters will control the monsters and ghosts that really belong to them, so as not to cause any catastrophe to the humans within their rule.

On the Shinto side, under the tacit understanding of the big demons, they went to retreat and kill some monsters who did not follow this unspoken rule to calm the people's hearts.

To put it bluntly, in an era when the number of demons was even more serious than the Heiankyo era, humans who were not very favored by the gods could only survive on the snorts of those big monsters.

Even Shinto, it's still the same.

This is also the reason why Kikyo, who has unmatched spiritual power, has always been able to remain free - because Shinto needs a monster who can deter youkai so much, they don't want to force Kikyo to do something they don't want to cause this shrine maiden to be separated from them.

- But it's true that there is no centrifugation now, but no matter how you think about it, it's not far away.

The Shinto and youkai who don't know why they couldn't figure out why Kikyo was able to get such help.

It can't be Inuyasha's energy, right?

The question is who doesn't know that Inuyasha is going to fight when he meets his brother, and it is the □□ Inuyasha who was unilaterally killed by Seshomaru.

No matter how they think about it, they can only think that Kikyo may have reached some terrible agreement with the monster.

But they didn't have a chance to listen.

Because a powerful demon has recently emerged, which has made both Shinto and youkai taut.

This big monster is from the Western Kingdom, it is a huge black dog demon, the name is rumored to be Ling, and it has a lot to do with the next ruler of the Western Kingdom, Sesshomaru, and has the baby teeth of Sesshomaru hanging around his neck.

The first battle that made him known was on the West Sea within the jurisdiction of the Western Kingdom.

He led a group of wolf demons belonging to the Western Kingdom to fight against the green kappa who had been entrenched here for more than a hundred years.

Qing Kappa has recently gained a lot of strength by obtaining six fragments of the Four Souls Jade.

Before that, Qingkappa was also a very famous youkai - although his strength was not as good as that of the big youkai, it was also the default of everyone, and he could become a member of the big youkai in the future.

For the fact that there can be one more big demon in his jurisdiction, Xiguo is happy to see it, so he has always treated Qingkappa quite well.

But Qingkappa was already a little flustered because of the special care for a long time, and coupled with the temptation of filth within the Jade of the Four Souls, his ambition swelled violently in an instant.

Blue Kappa wants to replace Inuhime, the current ruler of the Western Kingdom, as the leader of the party.

He was the one who made the most trouble some time ago.

At that time, there were still many youkai wondering when Inuhime would not be able to sit still.

As a result, I didn't wait for Inuhime, and I didn't wait for Sesshomaru to come.

They waited for a black dog demon they didn't know at all, they had never seen before, and they had never even heard of a name.

This little-known dog demon, when all the monsters did not react, slaughtered the Blue Kappa and its subordinate hundred ghost forces with a thunderous force.

The battle did not last even more than a day.

The monsters above the West Sea are silent.

And what made them gnash their teeth was that the ferocity of this big monster was not only reflected in his strength, but also in his shamelessness.

According to the custom, when two powerful monsters fight, they will leave the corpse of the defeated side.

But this black dog demon ate the corpse of Qingkappa on the grounds that "Qingkappa is too ugly, and leaving a corpse is a waste of land resources".

At that time, a group of youkai who surrendered were dumbfounded.

They had always thought that this was just a gesture made by this monster named "Ling" in order to stand up for power.

But he never expected that in the other party's next move to sweep the entire western country, he did not let go of the corpse of the enemy leader.

There was even a time when the wolves that followed him suffered a lot of damage, and he spared the enemy general at that time and all the monsters on the other side, including the newborn cubs and the little monsters that had just given birth to intelligence.

It's brutal.

But it attracted a lot of youkai who wanted to join him.

Without him, such a monster is too suitable to be a general.

Strong, short-guarding, and merciless to the enemy.

Just a few things are enough to attract a large number of unaffiliated youkai to admire him, and they want to hand themselves over to such a great future.

But unfortunately, this big monster has no intention of recruiting anyone other than the group of wolves he leads.

- Even if it was the other wolf demons, none of them were able to join it.

Many youkai had to go home with regrets.

And many of the idle youkai who witnessed the bloody massacre that day were able to escape, and they lived day and night with nightmares about what happened that day.

- They were gnawed and devoured in their dreams, treated like corpses and dead creatures without resistance, watching the huge black dog tear them apart and devour them.

Therefore, these monsters trembled and told others that this monster still has the ability to control nightmares, and tortured them day and night.

The name of the Nightmare Lord of the Western Kingdom became the code name of this great monster that was born out of nowhere.

And the sudden emergence of a big monster in the western country is more important to Shinto and the monsters than the anomalies of those big forces recently.

Because the living space of Shinto is already too small to be smaller.

Now there is another big monster, which is definitely not good news for humans.

And some other forces, large and small, need to have a rough assessment of the current combat strength of the Western Kingdom, and they also need to express themselves to the Western Kingdom accordingly.

Is it a gesture of goodwill? Or vigilance?

Or is it because of fear that they have joined forces with other forces to take advantage of the current chaos to suppress the Western Kingdom?

Both the medium-sized forces and the smaller ones are watching, waiting for the reaction of those top forces.

Then they watched and watched, and they realized that these forces, along with the leaders of Shinto and even the most insignificant of human beings, were surprisingly friendly to this sudden appearance of the Great Youkai.

The Shinto, who didn't get the information, and the youkai who didn't know what was going on at all were a little confused.

As one of the Shinto shrines, Kifune Shrine, which has been at its peak recently, is as quiet as a chicken throughout the process.

Now, with my toes, I know that this big monster is not small.

The grass on the walls are ready to show favor to the Lord of the West.

But before they could get their gifts ready, another thing caught them off guard.

- The Nightmare Lord of the Western Kingdom took out another piece of the Jade of the Four Souls, and the power of the Jade of the Four Souls was much stronger than the one guarded by the Kikyo Shrine Maiden.

And that's not all.

The most important thing is that the Nightmare Lord of the Western Kingdom bluntly stated that whoever can get his appreciation, he will give him this whole piece of Four Souls Jade.

It sounds like he wants to use this piece of jade of the four souls to attract his subordinates.

The entire monster world exploded with a "boom".

And what does Ao Ling mean by himself?

The huge black dog demon squatted on the grass under the moonlight, with beast teeth hanging from its neck and another small and lovely translucent silk bag containing a soul jade that exuded a lustrous green color.

Ao Ling looked down at the wolves that surrounded him in the middle to rest, stood up and shook his fur.

His own meaning is actually very simple, in the name of solicitation, the actual foraging for food.

Don't forget, the reason why King Macang Ye made this piece of soul jade was to use it as bait to attract monsters to fight, so that Ao Ling would have to save most of his time searching for prey.

Although there are some small functions now, the reason why it was born is so that Ao Ling does not have to endure hunger.

In the past few days, there have been a lot of monsters who have come over because they covet the jade of the four souls, and all of them have entered Ao Ling's stomach.

And those who really wanted to defect to him were thrown to the wolves by Ao Ling and brought back to Inu Ji to deal with.

Inu Ji was very satisfied with Ao Ling's hand.

And Ao Ling, who was rubbed by the dog head countless times, was also very satisfied, and the actions of patrolling in the western country became more and more frequent.

Today is the third day he has led the wolves out on patrol again.

They stayed overnight by a river.

Ao Ling sniffed the faint smell in the air, feeling that it seemed a little familiar.

He thought for a moment, took a step, watched as the wolves made way for him like Moses dividing the sea, and ran in the direction from which the smell came.

The night dew is heavy, and the late autumn nights carry the icy cold of winter.

The river flowed and made a clear sound.

There was no moonlight tonight, only the light source of the torches held by the night walkers in the distance, with some strange noise looming.

Ao Ling followed the smell and trampled on the dead grass by the river, revealing a monster lying in the dead grass.

- Long silver hair, a pair of ears of the same hair color on the head, and a listless tail drooping.

The robe that could be seen to be very delicate on his body was now in tatters, and he was seriously injured and embarrassed.

Ao Ling smelled the sweet smell of a powerful demon on the tip of his nose, and couldn't help but lean over, turned the monster lying in the dead grass over, and licked the blood flowing from the other party's body by the way.

Then he looked at the monster's face.

As a result, they met the other party's purple eyes, which were as cold as polar ice.

"...... "Oh no.

Ao Ling shook his tail for a moment.

- Ba Wei.
