Oh, this...

The scene fell silent immediately.

Who dares to follow up on this!

Those who went there currently can't be contacted, but they aren't dead. Although some didn't successfully cross the Forbidden Sea.

Yet, more than thirty people are still alive.

No news now just indicates that those people are still in Longxia!

Nanami also doesn't know if she found them or not, and if she did, what was the outcome?

The national war is tomorrow morning.

Even if those people and Nanami rush back together now, they won't make it!

There's simply not enough time!

Everyone's faces looked worse one after the other.

The key point is, no one knows the current situation at all, which is the most distressing.

At the same time.

Imperial Capital.

Nanami sat by the window.

Still gazing at the night outside in a daze.

Not long ago, she was so high and mighty; how could she have imagined sitting idly by the window the night before the upcoming national war?

And in a foreign land at that?

Suddenly!

Nanami's eyes scanned the wild and saw something like fireworks slowly rising.

Then, with a pop, it burst open.

But it didn't scatter like fireworks; instead, it transformed into a blurred ghostly mask, flickered, and disappeared.

Nanami was taken aback, then frowned.

She stood up and murmured, "As expected, they still aren't giving up. I don't know how many people they sent, but to kill them all at once, I need you to act."

This was naturally addressed to Yamata no Orochi.

Currently, Nanami is indirectly controlled by Lu Ran.

But because of Yamata no Orochi's relationship with Lu Ran, it's much more effective for Nanami to speak with Yamata no Orochi.

After speaking,

Nanami flickered in the window and disappeared.

Outskirts of Imperial Capital.

More than thirty people in black crouched behind a hillside.

Looking toward the direction of Imperial Capital.

"Will this work?"

"It's hard to say whether Nanami is in Imperial Capital."

"Tomorrow morning is the national war; even if we find Nanami now, it seems pointless?"

"Nanami should be in Imperial Capital. You clearly saw the people she teamed up with—members from the Four Major Guilds!"

"Yes, and the president of the Four Major Guilds."

"Tomorrow morning is the national war, that group must be in Imperial Capital, so Nanami must be there too."

"But whether she saw the signal we sent is uncertain."

"Send a few more? Otherwise, we worry that woman won't see them."

"Damn, what if sending too many raises suspicion?"

"That woman really troubles us, damn it, making us come all this way risking life and limb."

"If Longxia finds out, we'll all have to answer for this! Damn woman, damn!"

...

Everyone cursed and swore.

Hesitating whether to send more signals.

Suddenly, a cool voice came from nearby: "As Sakura's First Yin Yang Master, I've contributed greatly to Sakura, but in your mouths, I'm just a bitch?"

This voice wasn't deliberately suppressed.

Frightening the people present.

Turning their heads, they saw Nanami standing on an overhanging branch of a nearby tree.

Framed against the moonlight.

"It's Nanami!"

"President, I am from Ikenai, finally found you!"

"Don't take what was said earlier to heart."

"Let's hurry back, although it's too late now, staying in Longxia is too dangerous!"

"Divine Son, I'm from Shintoism, why are you still in Longxia and not returning?"

...

At this moment,

In front of Nanami, these people were completely different from earlier.

Nanami looked calmly at these people.

Without answering their questions, she simply said, "With the national war impending, Sakura still seems to value me. They've sent so many people to probe my whereabouts, but unfortunately, the timing was off. Even if I return with you, what good would it do?"

Upon hearing this,

The people looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Regardless, let's just head back first."

"Though I can't participate in this national war, Longxia surely will take first place."

"After that, they're certain to target us in Sakura."

"With you here, we'll be fine in Sakura!"

"Yes, staying in Longxia isn't a solution, come back with us."

...

Nanami looked at the people in front of her.

She exhaled slowly and said, "It's not because I'm here, but because Yamata no Orochi is here? But you are right about one thing, after the national war, Longxia is definitely going to target Sakura, that's certain."

Sakura making such a fuss to bring her back isn't because they admire Nanami's personal combat power and abilities.

It's entirely because Yamata no Orochi is tied to Nanami!

With that said,

Nanami hesitated no longer.

With a thought,

The night sky behind seemed to be ripped open by a demon, creating a huge gap!

Yamata no Orochi's head began crawling out from it.

The surroundings shook, rumbling.

The people here were somewhat dumbfounded.

"This...this is Yamata no Orochi!"

"Nanami, what are you doing!"

"Why summon Yamata no Orochi here?"

"I understand! No wonder Nanami doesn't go back, she plans to ambush!"

"Pretending to be on good terms with Longxia, even helping them clear dungeons, to gain trust!"

"On the eve of the national war, with most high combat professionals gathered in Imperial Capital, ambush them!"

"Brilliant, this way, the presidents of the Four Major Guilds, the Full-time Alliance, and some of Longxia's higher-ups will all die!"

"Ambush now, and tomorrow's national war will be Longxia's destruction!"

"Haha...what a great idea, truly Sakura's First Yin Yang Master!"

"Kill! Kill them now! Annihilate the entire Imperial Capital!"

...

Admittedly, their imagination was quite vivid.

In a few casual words, they envisioned Nanami as a cunning strategist.

Lurking in Imperial Capital unwilling to return, not participating in the national war.

Just to ambush them on the eve of the national war, leaving Longxia no chance to react or mend!

Moreover,

This being Imperial Capital, if Yamata no Orochi destroys here, it would be fatal to Longxia!

Nanami looked in astonishment at these people.

Feeling speechless.

But truth be told, their concocted story points really sounded plausible!

If Nanami hadn't experienced Lu Ran's capabilities, hadn't been indirectly controlled by him,

She might have actually done that!

But now...

Nanami didn't respond, she glanced at Yamata no Orochi.

It had fully emerged from the Shikigami space.

She then turned back to look at the crowd before her, floated back, and jumped off the branch.

She spoke with indifference, "You're mistaken, I'm no longer Sakura's First Yin Yang Master. If you wish, you can still call me a bitch. The appearance of Yamata no Orochi isn't to ambush Imperial Capital, but to kill you. Although my level is high, it's difficult to deal with so many of you at once. I can't take risks; this is the most prudent approach."

After speaking,

A thought was transmitted to Yamata no Orochi: "Kill! Leave none!"
