Just without that feeling where every rustle around you escapes your perception, after all, unlike a full 360-degree view without any blind spots, this linear detection can only see things in one direction; the perception is very limited... It seems to have its pros and cons.

"Eh?"

Originally playing eagerly with his new toy, Gu Mo suddenly froze. It was only natural for him to want to see Kikyo's current location, so he extended his spiritual power toward the base of the mountain and, as a result, saw a group of uninvited guests arriving.

"Did someone come to deliver a package?"

......

"Kikyo..."

Finally stopping his running footsteps, Inuyasha looked ahead at the misty valley. The half-demon's keen sight easily penetrated the ordinary mist, clearly seeing the serene figure standing quietly by the riverbank.

Dressed in white and red hakama, her black silk-like long hair cascading behind her like a waterfall, as the river breeze blew, her hair shimmered like flowing water... It was as if he had first seen her fifty years ago, just like that peerless priestess from the past...

For a moment, Inuyasha was dazed, muttering the priestess's name.

"Inuyasha."

The priestess calmly called out the name of the half-demon opposite her; she was not like when she was first resurrected, excited, resentful, unable to suppress her emotions, directly choosing to strike ruthlessly.

Yet this very calmness seemed to hide immense tempestuous currents behind it. Though she hadn't made a move immediately, it still made Inuyasha instinctively clench his back teeth tightly... He could feel the intense killing intent from the priestess locked onto him, and her resentment hadn't diminished in the slightest.

"I thought someone brought the Four Souls Jade over... turns out it's you all." Kikyo's gaze swept across the group before fixing on Himura Kagome.

The sailor-uniformed girl instinctively took half a step back. Kikyo seemed to be looking at the Four Souls Jade necklace around her neck, yet somehow it felt as if she was actually looking directly at her.

Retracting her gaze, standing by the riverbank, the priestess lowered her eyes slightly, her voice exceptionally calm: "Inuyasha, did you come here to die? Knowing I'm here, yet daring to approach... Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"No, I'm not! I'm here to save you!" Inuyasha shouted passionately.

"... Save me?"

Kikyo recalled the meddlesome wandering mage from before, squinting her eyes slightly...

She picked up the ordinary longbow, the arrow shimmering with spiritual power pointing directly at the opposite side. It seemed like a slow motion, yet everyone was too late to react; in the blink of an eye, the priestess had already pulled the bow and nocked the arrow, aiming it directly at them.

Just as he wanted to continue speaking, Inuyasha found himself remotely locked by the Demon-Breaking Arrow, his scalp tingling, chest tightening, body instinctively becoming rigid.

He had no doubt that in the next moment, he would turn to ash...

"I died while hating you... My soul remains at that moment, unable to change. As long as you remain alive, I cannot be saved!" Her cold eyes quietly stared at the half-demon opposite, the priestess's voice turning icy, her killing intent no longer concealed.

"That's not true! Kikyo!" Despite being startled just now, Himura Kagome took courage and shouted, "It's all Naraku's scheme, someone else framed you fifty years ago..."

The priestess glanced at her.

"Why is it so lively..." At this moment, a cheerful voice came from above, and everyone instinctively looked up.

In the high sky, a young man dressed in modern casual clothes was smiling as he descended step by step from above, as if there were invisible steps in the void... Because his spiritual power had undergone a qualitative change, it could already interfere with physical phenomena, having effects that could influence entities.

Though the influence distance and weight had limitations, momentarily materializing beneath his feet, it was just barely able to support his own weight, coupled with the experience brought by projection magic which was interchangeable, he didn't need to deliberately train to create invisible steps beneath his feet.

By momentarily materializing his spiritual power, he created invisible steps beneath his feet, descending step by step.

The mobility wasn't very flexible, but at least he could easily rely on his own strength to descend from the mountain, and this appearing technique seemingly impressed the others.

—This guy had previously said he couldn't fly, needed me to bring him up...

At this moment, witnessing this scene, the priestess subconsciously thought of this, her brow furrowing slightly.

"Seems like the enemy... Are we fighting, Kikyo?"

Coming to the priestess's side, Gu Mo surveyed the tense scene and glanced at the priestess who had drawn her bow, showing a cheerful smile and casually asking, as if he saw a companion wanting to make a move, naturally grouping the other side with the enemy.

"Bastard! Who are you!!"

Tightly clenching his fist, Inuyasha glared angrily at him. He had chased all the way from the village in the back after hearing what the brat had said, knowing they had traveled deep into the night yesterday, which prompted him to pursue desperately.

He almost forgot what the brat said, but now seeing this unfamiliar man appearing, seemingly very familiar with the priestess and even calling her by name, while Kikyo also appeared accustomed to it... Inuyasha found it totally unacceptable, presumptively believing it might really be as the brat said.
