Time flew by, and it was late at night the next day.

【……】

.

[In the middle of the moon, Kyoto is silent at night, and only a few houses are still lit up. 】

[You stand on the corner of the roof of a three-story mansion, looking at the 'Imperial Palace' in the distance. 】

[The huge palace city is like a dormant ancient beast, even if it is sleeping, you can clearly feel the dangerous and terrifying aura contained in it. 】

【……】

[After waiting for a long time, the gate of Miyagi opened, and a carriage drove out of it silently. 】

[This carriage has six strong horses pulling the cart in front, and the carriage is extraordinarily tall but there is no ornate decoration. 】

[The carriage slowly drove into the dark ...... in the direction of 'Asuka no Yu']

[As the carriage left, the terrifying and devouring aura in Miyagi also weakened and dissipated. 】

When the carriage is gone, you jump off the roof. 】

[When he landed, the old and short figure had disappeared......]

【……】

[You remained incognito and hurried to Miyagi. 】

[You have taken your infiltrated ninja skills to the extreme, quietly climbed over the high wall, and entered the 'Imperial Palace' without attracting the attention of the patrolling guards.] 】

[The vast Miyagi Castle in front of you is still brightly lit even in the middle of the night, and there are many samurai patrolling back and forth. 】

[According to your memory, when you first entered the palace gate, it was the 'outer garden' area of the imperial palace, and the general's living and handling of government affairs was in the 'East Garden'. 】

[In the old days, the royal family members all lived in the 'Inner Garden', and without the order of the Great General, they could not leave the 'Imperial Palace', and could only live in the 'Inner Garden' area. 】

[You sneak all the way and move in the direction of the 'Inner Garden'......]

[Beyond the layers of palace walls, through the palaces, you arrive at the 'inner garden' area. 】

[The palace building in front of you is more gorgeous than the 'outer garden', and the eaves are anti-Yu, and the Biwa Zhu Yong shows the royal style. 】

[It's just that the number of samurai patrolling here is more and more elite, they are all burly, exuding a strong killing intent, as if this place is not the Imperial Palace, but an underground prison where dangerous death row prisoners are kept.] 】

[The palaces of the 'Inner Garden' are all magnificent and luxurious, and the scale is also very huge, as if carved out of a mold. 】

[You can't tell which palace the 'little emperor' lives in, you can only explore them one by one......]

There are quite a lot of buildings in the palace city, which are complex and abnormal, Lin Xun sneaks into several palaces, but none of the people in them are 'little emperors'.

Seeing that time was passing bit by bit, it was absolutely impossible to find the 'little emperor' before the general returned to the palace with such efficiency.

He narrowed his eyes and decided to use the method of seizing the husk and searching for memories.

The samurai on the periphery of the palace are in groups, and there are many of them, and it is difficult to start.

He can only choose the royal family members who live in the palace as targets.

【……】

[A palace in the distance catches your attention, there are not only many samurai guards outside the palace, but also several female attendants serving at the palace gate. 】

[Obviously, the identity of the owner of this palace is extraordinary! 】

Are you going to dive in? 】

Lin Xun was overjoyed and hurriedly pressed the 'Yes' option.

[You remain invisible, quietly go around to the side of the palace, and silently break the window lock......]

[You open the corner of the window and sneak into the temple without making any noise.] 】

[The lights and candles in the palace are brilliant, and the furnishings are more luxurious and exquisite than what you have seen before. 】

[A beautiful woman sat on the edge of the bed, embroidering with stitches and threads. 】

"It's a pity, it's not the little emperor......"

"But this person's identity shouldn't be simple, let's dig it out first, and see if we can search for memories of the little emperor."

[You continue to remain incognito, quietly approaching the bed......]

[Suddenly, you feel that you have stepped into the range of an inexplicable force, this power is extremely familiar, and it is exactly the same as the power of the divine domain in the Tianming Divine Palace. 】

[Your figure is suddenly revealed, and the woman next to the bed looks up at you. 】

[I saw that it was wearing a single coat made of twelve layers of Tang Silk, this kind of dress fabric is colorful and colorful, gorgeous and abnormal, and only orthodox royal women can wear it.] 】

[You have found 'Saiwang Childish Foot Hime' who worships fire!] 】

[The woman was not surprised to see you, and continued to lower her head to embroider the needle and thread on her hand, and said in a very flat tone......]

[Is the general finally coming to take its life...... To be able to die under the sword of the 'ninja master' is also considered to be worthy of the name of the royal family. 】

[You frown and look at the woman in front of you, and the memories in your body gradually revive......]

[King Sai is the title of the highest-ranking shrine maiden in the Tianming Shrine, and can only be held by an unmarried prince, queen or princess of the imperial family, and it is an important means for the emperor to borrow the authority of the god Yama and rule Sakuraku. 】

[In the heyday of the royal family, King Sai's status was much higher than that of the palace secretary, and the royal family sent King Zhai to settle in the shrine, which was equivalent to announcing to the world that the monarchy was divinely granted, and the emperor was the only orthodox servant of the god Yama. 】

[It's just that time has passed, and now, the royal family is weakened, and even King Zhai can only be imprisoned in the deep palace......]

[The shrine maiden of King Sai named 'Childish Foot Hime' in front of her is the eldest daughter of the emperor and the only sister of the 'little emperor'. 】

[The shattered memories come to an abrupt end here......]

"King Zhai?"

Lin Xun recalled that when he used the body of the palace master of Izo Palace to meet with the head of the Hagiwara family, the head of the family once released a bold statement that when he raised troops to capture Kyoto, he would give all the witches and Saiwang in the Tianmei Shrine to the palace master as secret medicine materials.

I didn't want to see King Sai in the Tianming Shrine.,I finally met in the Imperial Palace.。

What's your next move? 】

[1. Pull out the 'Dragon Sword Masamune' on his waist, stab the woman in front of him with a sword, and possess the body to seize the body. 】

[2. It's a pity to kill the eldest daughter of the emperor like this, it's better to have a good time before that and be a royal concubine. 】

[3. Reveal your identity as the 'Yama Agent' to it in order to obtain information about the 'Little Emperor'.] 】

The 'Saiwang Childish Foot Lady' in front of him should be the most powerful nurse in this chapter.

The two rookie nurses in the shell pen have a somewhat low quality of their shells, and they can't exert the power of the nurse artifact 'Tenho Saki Rice's Harvest Scythe'.

If you can get the shell of King Zhai, the two rookie nurses can directly announce their retirement.

However, Lin Xun did not kill people to seize the memory of the body, but chose the third option.

[Without saying a word, you took out the 'Harvest Scythe of Amaho Saki Rice', and the small sickle was rusty, leaving layers of lines like raging flames on it. 】

['Zhaiwang Zhizuji' suddenly raised his head and stared at the harvest artifact in your hand. 】

[The flame pattern on the small scythe seems to have sensed the royal bloodline, and it suddenly flickers and jumps, like a real flame burning. 】

['Zhai Wang Zhizu Ji' was stunned, his expression was overflowing with excitement, and two lines of tears slipped down the corners of his eyes. 】

[It hurriedly put down the needle and thread in its hand, knelt down in front of you, and prostrated again and again, wanting to cry out loud, and covered its mouth for fear that the samurai and maids outside the door would notice. 】

[It shouted softly, Yama did not give up on his people, and finally sent an avatar to save the royal family, to save the entire Sakura-raku!] 】

[You picked up the 'Zhai Wang Zhizu Ji', and listening to its words, it seems that you already know the fall of the great general. 】

[You have an in-depth communication with it and understand the whole ...... of the matter]

[After the general unified Sakura, at first he had to borrow the name of the royal family in order to make the people submit. 】

[But with the passage of time, the general gradually revealed a series of means of governing the country, whether it was a local daimyo or a common people, they were all convinced. 】

[With a more prosperous and peaceful life, they gradually forgot about the royal family and only recognized the general. 】

[There are even rumors among the people that the royal family levied taxes and miscellaneous taxes and governed the country excessively, so Yan Shencai sent a general to seek peace and prosperity for the people. 】

[But where does the world know that the harsh taxes and miscellaneous taxes are fiercer than the tiger because Sakura falls to pay tribute to the Zhuchi Empire every year......]

[After the general grasped the hearts of the people, the royal bloodline was imprisoned in the deep palace and did not see the light of day for a long time. 】

[The reason why the great general didn't kill it and the little emperor is because the little emperor is still useful. 】

[The Zhu Chi Empire was mired in a divine war and was too busy to take care of itself, and the envoy troops sent by it were all wiped out by the generals. 】

[The confiscated 'Zhu Chijing Festival' was used to mutilate the gods under Yan's command. 】

[With the fall of one deity after another, there are fewer and fewer deities responding to the call, and even if you use the 'Zhu Chijing Festival', you can no longer get a response from the surviving deities.] 】

[If you want to wipe out all the surviving gods, there is only one way left, and that is - the little emperor. 】

[As the bloodline of the last servant of the imperial family, the little emperor can get a response from the gods with the powerful will bestowed by the god of Hades as long as he is willing. 】

But how can a godly servant bow to a oathbreaker? 】

[The general imprisoned the 'little emperor' and tortured him day and night, if it weren't for the strong will given by the gods, I am afraid that he would not be able to bear that inhuman torture for a long time......]

[Even so, his younger brother, the little emperor, did not give in, but the general saw that the months of torture were useless, so he used another poisonous method. 】

[The Great General implanted the germ of the evil seed into the little emperor's body, and allowed the evil thoughts to take root in the body of his young brother. 】

[Now that his younger brother is no longer human, under the destruction and erosion of evil thoughts, maybe tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, the little emperor will lose his consciousness and become a walking corpse who only obeys the orders of the general......]

[When that day comes, everything in the world will fall into the worst ......]

['Zhai Wang Zhizu Ji' couldn't cry when he said this, it begged you to save the little emperor and save the people in the world......]

[You have been informed of the exact location of the 'Emperor Sakuraku who worships fire'! 】

[You wiped away the tears for the 'Zhai Wang Zhizu Ji', promised to go to the palace of the little emperor to meet him, and promised to save the world. 】

['Zhai Wang Zhizu Ji' gradually stopped her tears, perhaps the suppressed emotions of being imprisoned in the deep palace that were all enemies of the world were released, and you were the 'Yama God Substitute' that it trusted very much, it gradually let down its guard and fell asleep in your arms......]

[You put the woman on the bed and quietly leave the palace......]

[You perform the escape technique again, blend into the night, and rush to the palace where the little emperor is being held......]

Lin Xun looked at the time, there was only one hour left before the general returned to the Imperial Palace.

He must complete the task of rescuing the little emperor or calling on the surviving gods within an hour.

[Strangely, the closer you get to the palace where the 'Little Emperor' is held, the fewer samurai on patrol become. 】

[Until you get close to the palace, you can't even see a guard samurai nearby.] 】

[You frown, thinking that things are not simple......]

[The buildings in the distance are no different from the rest of the palaces, except that they are guarded by many samurai.] 】

[You squint your eyes and look at ...... carefully]

[There was silence and darkness near the palace, and there was no one in sight, only a burly figure leaning against the gate of the palace. 】

[You've discovered the 'Evil Samurai!' 】

[Do you want to continue to infiltrate the palace quietly, or kill the flag warrior first? ] 】

The strength of the Hachimoto samurai is extremely strong, which can be inferred from the strength of the elderly head of the Hagiwara family.

To deal with the elderly head of the family, Lin Xundu, he had to make such a big fuss, and it was simply impossible to silently kill the flag warrior who was in the prime of life and had the prefix of 'extremely evil'.

If it causes too much movement, it will attract the encirclement and suppression of the endless army of samurai, and maybe even the general......

"I hope the ninja master's escape technique will be more powerful, and don't be discovered."

[You use all your strength to perform the escape technique, and every time you fall footsteps, you are small wings, and you don't dare to make the slightest movement. 】

[You approach the palace at a very slow speed, tiptoe around the 'Hachimoto Samurai', and move your steps to the side of the palace......]

【……】

[You finally arrive at the window on the side of the palace and pound the lock......]

[I only heard a click, and the lock opened, but there were no other samurai patrolling here, and it was silent, and such a slight sound was particularly harsh here!] 】

[You are shocked in your heart, and you know that you are going to suffer! 】

[Hurriedly pressed his toes on the ground, and the energy called 'Qi' in his body surged, and his body jumped and flew into the air. 】

"Your form rises straight up and falls on the warped corners of the cornices of the palace. 】

[You crouch down and hide your body in the shadow of the Eaves Beast......]

[The 'Extremely Evil Banner Samurai' clearly heard a strange noise, and it drew its sword at its waist and slowly approached the side of the palace. 】

[The footsteps are getting closer and closer, and you quietly poke your head out to ......]

[I saw the flag warrior looking around under the corner of the eaves, it patrolled for a long time and did not see anyone approaching, couldn't help yawning, put the knife into the sheath, and returned to the palace gate to garrison again......]

[You quietly breathe a sigh of relief, and lift the 'Qi' to float down.] 】

[You cautiously opened the window, without making a sound the whole time, and quietly entered the ......]

[You enter the palace in stealth.] 】

[The palace where the 'Little Emperor' was imprisoned was dim and dark, and there was a pungent smell of corruption and foul stench in it. 】

[The stench was extremely unpleasant, like the smell of a pile of rotting maggots in the gutter.] 】

[You endure the nausea, quickly adapt to the darkness, and see things in the palace clearly. 】

[There is a distorted shadow in the darkness of the depths of the palace, and the branches and leaves of evil thoughts sprout from the flesh and blood, absorb all the nutrients that can be absorbed, and take root. 】

[The distorted shadow no longer has the slightest human appearance, and the thick rhizome replaces the original human lower limbs, and the lush and vigorous branches and leaves become the body of the monster.] 】

[The distorted shadow seems to sense your coming, and the layers of branches and leaves wriggle, and out of it comes a child-like head, grinning at you and laughing silently.] 】

[The corners of the laughing mouth almost reached the root of the ear, and the weird smile made the back chill. 】

[You've discovered the 'Evil Sakuraki Emperor'! 】

"!"

Lin Xun couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth.

Countless thoughts flashed in his heart at this moment, and he knew that he was one step too late, and the little emperor had fallen extremely evil.

Perhaps the general has learned the coordinates of the surviving gods from the little emperor.

Maybe even the last gods will be infected by evil gods!
