Xu Changqing quickly recovered from the influx of his past memories.
When he understood the cause and effect of everything, his gaze towards Zixuan was filled with tenderness and pity.
"I'm sorry, it's all my fault... If I had known earlier, perhaps I wouldn't have let you down..."
"No... actually, I was also at fault! Clearly, my heart was tied to you, but I didn't dare to confess..."
The two embraced each other. Tears flowed instantly. The misunderstanding was resolved, and everyone was happy.
And Xu Changqing was rejoicing. If Yae Miko hadn't taught him before, perhaps he would still hold a deep grudge against demons.
While the couple was displaying their affection here, Kamisato Ayaka handed the Fire Spirit Pearl to Jing Tian.
"After the Fire Oni King is destroyed, my mission will also be completed. I hope that the next time I see you, you will be doing better..."
Hearing her words, Jing Tian chuckled. "Thank you so much... however, we really don't have that kind of treasure on us. Otherwise, giving it to you would be fine..."
The other party had done them a huge favor, yet they couldn't repay her. It was indeed a bit awkward.
Although when she came, she said she didn't want any reward.
But... having fought the Demon Lord, Jing Tian naturally knew that the Fire Oni King was not so easily defeated.
Now she was covered in wounds, and some parts were still bleeding. Even with his thick skin, he felt embarrassed.
At this time, Xu Changqing walked over and said, "I have some pill formulas and cultivation methods in my hand, which even include the offensive techniques of my Mt. Shu sect. I'll give them all to you..."
"Changqing... is this really okay?" Zixuan looked shocked.
If Mt. Shu's techniques were given to others, how would he explain it when he went back?
Xu Changqing shook his head. "It's fine. They are not people of this world. Passing Mt. Shu's cultivation methods to her won't result in them being spread outside. Moreover, Master once said that life has many fortuitous encounters and one needs to form good karma..."
"The other party has already saved us twice; we must repay her..."
In fact, he had one more sentence he didn't say. That was, Daoist Qingwei seemed to sense that there would be a great crisis in the future. So, he had hinted to his disciples that if they met again, they could try to befriend the other party.
Perhaps if they encountered a crisis in the future, the other party would help them again.
A magical existence not belonging to the Three Realms and Six Paths would definitely have extraordinary power.
And the other party had allowed him and Zixuan to love each other again. This was already the greatest gift.
Hearing her lover's words, Zixuan thought for a while and also took out her treasured techniques and gave them to Kamisato Ayaka.
"These are the techniques I have collected over the years, including alchemy, poison refining... Gu arts are all covered... I only hope you don't use them for evil..."
"Mm, please rest assured... we won't do bad things." Kamisato Ayaka accepted the techniques and said very seriously.
The completion of this mission truly yielded a bountiful harvest.
At this time, the system notification sound of the Multiverse Mission Group rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations on completing the Special Multiverse Mission. You have received a mission reward of 200,000 points.]
[Hint: You may choose to return immediately or remain for a short while.]
[Note: The maximum time you can remain is fifteen minutes.]
Seeing the notification, Kamisato Ayaka said to everyone, "Then we shall meet again if fate permits..."
After choosing to return, her body gradually dimmed until it disappeared.
Xu Changqing saw this scene and exclaimed in surprise, "Truly magical... as expected of a strong person from another world. Master's words were correct..."
"Mm. It's just a pity that the Five Spirit Pearls are needed to repair the Demon Locking Tower. Otherwise... I would have wanted to give the Water Spirit Pearl in my hand to her!"
To be able to be with her lover, Zixuan felt that she could give up anything.
Jing Tian looked at the Fire Spirit Pearl in his hand and quickly said, "We got the treasure, let's go quickly... don't wait for that Demon Lord to come back. We really can't beat him..."
Previously, he had relied on his acting skills to plot against the Demon Lord Chong Lou. The other party was so strong; if he came back, Jing Tian really couldn't beat him.
Xu Changqing nodded. "Then let's go..."
Currently, Zixuan was injured and needed to return to Mt. Shu for treatment. There was naturally no need to stay in this Fengdu Underworld.
...
On the other side, Kamisato Ayaka appeared at the Grand Narukami Shrine.
Seeing that Su Han and the others were not there, she asked Kano Nana, "Where are they?"
Logically speaking, shouldn't she be welcomed after completing the mission? The techniques in her hand also needed to be studied. Why was there no one here?
It was fine if Su Han and Mona were not here, but even Lady Yae Guuji was absent.
Kano Nana took out the prepared medicine and sighed towards the distance. "Half an hour ago... the adults received an emergency message and went to rescue."
"What emergency message?"
"The Fatui detonated Tatarasuna! The entire island was affected..."
Kamisato Ayaka looked shocked. "What did you say?! Detonated Tatarasuna... how is that possible! Isn't that place very safe?"
"It was like that before, but because of the tight war situation, plus the decrease in Jade Steel production, these people began to be dissatisfied with the output, thereby modifying the settings of the Mikage Furnace."
"The device was already somewhat unstable. After Kujou Takayuki was obliterated, the Fatui chose to tear off their mask..."
"To think such a thing would happen!" Kamisato Ayaka was shocked.
One must know that the geographical location of Tatarasuna was very ingenious. It belonged to the middle zone linking the Kujou Encampment and Yashiori Island. Moreover... the factory over there was also a very important link for Inazuma.
The famous swords in the hands of samurai were all forged from the ore there. The price of a sword could be said to be expensive. And now, the Fatui had actually detonated that place.
"No, I have to go and see..."
"My lady, it has already been half an hour. It's useless even if you go. Lady Yae Guuji said that if you came back, just focus on recovering from your injuries. They will handle the matter of Tatarasuna."
"But..."
Kamisato Ayaka wanted to insist, but her body went soft involuntarily.
In the mission world, continuously unleashing her ultimate moves had overdrawn her body, which was not so easy to recover. Now it was difficult for her even to stand up.
Kano Nana quickly supported her and said, "Lady Kamisato Ayaka, you should rest for a while..."
"It seems that's the only way!" Kamisato Ayaka prayed in her heart and walked into the room with Kano Nana.
...
Time goes back to half an hour ago.
Kujou Sara was leading her troops to the Kujou Encampment. At this time, because of Kujou Takayuki's death, this place was leaderless. And her appearance stabilized the people's hearts.
"General Kujou Sara..."
"General, the Clan Head was killed by an assassin!!!"
"General Kujou Sara..."
Looking at the emotional soldiers, Kujou Sara said coldly, "Everyone listen to my orders. Follow me to Tatarasuna, speed up..."
Everyone looked confused.
But she drew her sword. "Do you not understand my words? Those who defy military orders will be killed without mercy... Everyone proceed to the Tatarasuna factory!!!"
Looking at the Tengu General who looked like a god of death, everyone quieted down. Subsequently, following her instructions, except for the personnel left behind to guard, all soldiers advanced towards Tatarasuna.
...
Inside the factory of Tatarasuna.
A Fatui assassin told the adult in front of him the news of Kujou Takayuki and the envoy being killed.
"What did you say? Someone assassinated Kujou Takayuki!"
"Yes, my lord... I was originally monitoring outside. Suddenly, the sound of help came from inside. Not long after, I saw a person rush out from inside. The other party can walk on water. According to intelligence, it is very likely a secret unit planned by Yae Miko!"
"Damn guy... why at this time!" Scaramouche's face was very ugly.
Originally, he was using Kujou Takayuki to create a grand performance to completely destroy Inazuma. But as a result, his intelligence was leaked. Truly unlucky.
"My lord, then we now..."
"Gather the men and retreat... Since the intelligence has been leaked, there is no need to continue here. However... hmph... what I can't get, don't even think about getting it. Let this Tatarasuna witness the flames of my revenge..."
When all the Fatui withdrew from Tatarasuna, a purple thunder crystal crashed from the top of the mountain towards the Mikage Furnace in the center of Tatarasuna.
The busy workers didn't know what happened at all.
Then, a bolt of lightning erupted from the Mikage Furnace.
Hum.
Just the shockwave destroyed all the workers. And then the Mikage Furnace began to vibrate. Every vibration was accompanied by a huge tremor. Cliffs collapsed. Terrifying shockwaves spread directly from the center of the island.
Kujou Sara, who was leading the army to rush over, didn't even have time to get close before she was stopped by the terrifying shockwave.
BOOM!
Accompanied by a deafening explosion, the entire Tatarasuna turned into a chaotic land. Countless rocks flew in the sky. The sea erupted with heavy tremors. Many ships broke apart.
The most critical thing was that this explosion would not stop at all. The Archon residue accumulated in the Mikage Furnace contained huge power. It could be said that the explosion had just begun.
Looking at the scene ten times more terrible than a volcanic eruption, even the Tengu General Kujou Sara felt incredibly troublesome.
"How could this be... these bastards actually blew up Tatarasuna..."
For the first time in her life, she hated the Fatui so much.
However, Kujou Sara's attention was soon attracted by the cry for help in the distance. Because this was an important factory, there were many Shogunate samurai stationed there. And now they had also become victims.
"You stand by where you are! I'll go save them..."
Swish.
Black wings spread. Kujou Sara rushed into the Thunder Calamity area, intending to save the soldiers. Unfortunately, a wave of explosion shockwaves sent her flying into the sky. Blood spurted out uncontrollably.
