[You are shocked, your hand forms the sword sign and the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ flies to your back, blocking the dagger light coming from behind.]

[But unexpectedly, the dagger light behind is a feint, and a blazing dagger light blooms in front of your eyes...]

[When the dagger light goes out, the ’Tachi·Demon Cleaver of Unohana’ stands horizontally between you and ’Moon City Purple Leaf’.]

[After failing to land a blow, its figure instantly appears.]

[It looks at the ’Dragon Sword Masamune’ fallen on the ground, then at the floating ’Demon Cleaver of Unohana’, it looks at you again before putting down the ’Large Naginata’ in its hand.]

[You effortlessly thwart ’Moon City Purple Leaf’s’ sneak attack, estimating that its abilities are at half of a ninja master, or perhaps even higher...]

[You look at ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ who wanted to prove its strength, but was crushed by you. Would you agree to its plan?]

"Underworld game, do you think I will fall for your trap?"

Allowing the eldest sister to sneak into the palace alone will most certainly lead to an attack from the underworld game. Not only would we fail to find the little emperor but also lose a key character.

[Upon noticing this, you change the topic and inform ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ that all the followers of the Evil God in ’Temple of Dawn’ have been thoroughly eradicated, but this place has a deep connection with the Great General, hence it is not suitable to linger for too long.]

[After that, you hastily take ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ down the mountain...]

Lin Xun is contemplating strategies while inspecting the spoils from defeating the palace officer.

He obtained an Epic+ level weapon called ’Halo of Exorcising Evil and Removing Disaster’ from defeating the palace officer. The effect of this weapon can significantly increase the output of damage-type divine arts.

However, Lin Xun does not intend to use the palace officer’s shell as his main shell. He can sell this piece of equipment back at the library and exchange it for a wave of spirit recovery.

[’Great General’s Charm’ (Item):A charm resembling a brocade bag, filled with a thumb-sized black seed emitting a strong aura of malice. This charm is a reward from the Great General to the palace officer.]

[There is a high chance of attracting the attention of the ’Extreme Delusional Evil Fruit’ upon using this item.]

"...Is this some kind of suicidal artifact?"

Lin Xun gives a wry smile, unable to retort.

[...]

[In the darkness of the night, the grand city in the distance can barely be seen, you and ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ are about to arrive in the Capital...]

[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ suddenly stops and sincerely says to you...]

[Honorable agent, I am fully aware of my inadequate strength and my impotence to assist you in your great cause of saving the world. Upon contemplation, there is only one approach that could be of assistance...]

[In the turmoil of the Vermillion-infested war, the Sakura fall has been disregarded, allowing the Great General to refrain from paying tributes and even secretly attack Vermillion envoys. However, people generally believe that Vermillion is at war with other countries...]

[Now, I have learned that Vermillion State is combating the Evil God... I am willing to travel alone to Vermillion where I hope to convince the legendary Vermillion Immortal to aid in defeating the Evil God’s incarnation - the Great General!]

[In the woman’s eyes before you, there is an unwavering determination, like a moth darting into a flame.]

[Do you wish to accompany ’Moon City Purple Leaf’?]

[You are unable to travel to the ’Vermillion Empire’, this area is content for Chapter 8.]

[Knowing that ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ is determined to go, it is better to see her off than to discourage her. Letting out a heavy sigh, you bid her a solemn farewell...]

[...]

[’Moon City Purple Leaf’ turns to leave, but after taking a couple of steps, suddenly turns back to run to you, and hugs you tightly...]

[The woman’s steadfast words echo in your ears.]

[My lord, you must wait for me!]

[The figure in a white robe and crimson trousers gradually disappears, leaving only a faint, lingering fragrance in your arms.]

Lin Xun is completely dumbfounded.

He didn’t allow ’Moon City Purple Leaf’ to leave, the whole course was automatically carried out by the underworld game, it was just like watching a cutscene.

"How could the Senior Sister just leave like that? At the very least, we could’ve had dinner together before she left."
