"Lord Su." The figure of the Blue Lantern appeared beside Su Ziyu, and with a gentle beckon, the Hundred Tales materialized in her palm. She slightly bowed and said, "Thank you for helping complete this book."

—— "A Night Parade of One Hundred Demons!"

A black book's shadow appeared in the Blue Lantern's palm, and the pages started to flip rapidly. Phantom images of demons emerged around her— Jorogumo, Yaksha, Mountain Child, Reincarnation Dao, Oni Head, Red Tongue, Lantern Ghost, and almost all the demons Su Ziyu had once slain. The area around Blue Lantern was immediately surrounded by the shadows of demons. She gently flicked the Soul-Luring Lamp beside her with her fair finger, sending dozens of ghostly green flames scattering outwards. The next moment, those shadows became corporeal, exuding a strong and ominous aura.

Indeed, only she could use this book!

Back then, the Blue Lantern transformed into a demon just to write the Hundred Tales. This book is akin to her Lifebound Magical Artifact; outsiders simply can't use it.

A deep-red Celestial Fire descended from the heavens.

Accompanied by a bird's cry reminiscent of a phoenix, Phoenix Fire transformed into a large firebird with a wingspan of over ten meters. Though lacking a phoenix's majesty, it possessed formidable strength. She extended her sharp claws toward the Orochi's eyes, the fiery red figure flashing past in the sky with speed almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

—— "Ghost Flash!"

Almost no one noticed, as a pitch-black blade light appeared and an elderly bald man in black formal attire emerged on the Orochi. No one knew when he got there, not even the Orochi. By the time it reacted, a pitch-black long blade had already pierced the center of one of its heads. With billowing death energy gushing out, that head drooped lifelessly as if it had lost all vitality.

But just as the serpent head fell, it suddenly reopened its eyes after a brief moment. With a ferocious roar, it snapped at the bald old man on its back.

It revived again!

It was a Nurarihyon!

Among the demons Su Ziyu had encountered, only a Nurarihyon had such a terrifying Stealth ability, making it impossible to sense its presence.

Yama, Blue Lantern, Nurarihyon, Phoenix Fire, Nine Lives Cat, and others appeared one after another. As the sky was suddenly filled with sword shadows, a figure donned in a conical hat and Hanfu also appeared in mid-air. The Guhuo Bird coldly stared at the Orochi before it, and slowly said, "It's been you causing all the ruckus lately, hasn't it, demon?"

Though claiming not to care for the others' survival, in the end, it couldn't help but intervene.

With so many Great Demons appearing on the battlefield at once, the pressure on Abe no Seimei and the others was instantly reduced. He signaled to a nearby witch for protection, and then placed the Yin Yang Jade on the ground, casting talismans that formed a massive Kikyo Seal on the earth.

—— "Thunder Strike!"

Rumbling!

A bolt of lightning descended from the sky, and Su Ziyu watched as the enormous serpent head lunged toward him. He raised his hand and delivered a Thunder Strike.

"Husband..." Qing Ji appeared to be in some pain. Her pupils had turned into eerie slits at some point, with wisps of ghostly blue flames appearing around her. She murmured, "I think I'm remembering something!..."

Something seemed off with Qing Ji.

Su Ziyu temporarily held back, protecting her as they retreated a bit, and asked in a deep voice, "What's the matter? Are you alright?"

"I think I'm remembering how I became a demon!..." Qing Ji's voice trembled slightly, her face turning pale, as she clenched her fingers into a fist and murmured, "It was Him!..."

"It was because of Him that I became a demon..."

A flicker of vengeful fury appeared.

Qing Ji turned to look at Su Ziyu, then clenched the White Paper Umbrella in her hand, and said hauntingly, "He devoured me and my sisters. We were trapped inside Him."

"Only I escaped."

"I must save them!"

After saying this, Qing Ji bowed slightly to Su Ziyu and then transformed into a blur, wielding the White Paper Umbrella to stab at the Orochi's belly. In an instant, she tore open a bloody gash, and to Su Ziyu's incredulous gaze, Qing Ji dived straight into the wound, disappearing inside the Orochi's mountainous body with a series of pained roars.

What had Qing Ji remembered?

Su Ziyu was on the brink of losing his mind. The Orochi's body was immense, with a diameter probably several hundred meters. Everyone was trying to attack its eight heads, and no one expected Qing Ji to suddenly breach the Orochi's belly and directly use her umbrella as a sword to enter.

What now?

The Orochi's Regeneration ability was astonishing. Seeing its belly wound rapidly healing, Su Ziyu hesitated immediately.

Should he go after her?

Su Ziyu couldn't help but recall the image of Qing Ji kneeling before him, gently washing the dust from his feet. If he did nothing now, he knew he wouldn't be able to forgive himself later. But what to do next? Su Ziyu had no idea, as he couldn't even guess what Qing Ji intended to do. The interior of the Orochi was filled with poison; Qing Ji might be able to enter, but if he did, the outcome would likely be dire.
