"This scene is really cool," Jia Qianjun said while filming, "Why don't we try it ourselves? Our skills are way better than those second-generation folks from Emei."
"Emei has formations to help them," Hanno replied with a sideways glance, actually too lazy to bother with it; it was too exhausting and draining.
Jia Qianjun scoffed at Hanno's laziness. "You and I could walk around Emei and still not break their formations?"
Long Wenwen quickly intervened, "Where would we do it?"
Jia Qianjun scratched his chin. "Doing it in Shushan World would be too flashy. Let's go back to the modern world and modify Emei Mountain instead."
Hanno playfully splashed Jia Qianjun with water. "You can't be too flashy in Shushan World, but you think you can be in modern society?"
"Aren't you afraid the Special Department will come looking for you?"
Jia Qianjun chuckled twice, but the meaning behind his laughter was different from Hanno's earlier chuckle. "They can't take me down."
"So you just bully ordinary people!" Hanno rolled her eyes.
Jia Qianjun laughed. "Come on, I wouldn't dare! In the modern world, I'm a law-abiding citizen. We'll test it out when we get to other worlds."
"I want to visit the world of mixed genres and see what it's like. When will you send us over?"
"Sure thing," Jia Qianjun readily agreed.
After Emei established its headquarters, its external strategy indeed changed significantly. Aside from the necessity of reclaiming the Illusory Wave Pool from Seductive Corpse Cui Ying, only Qijin Chan accompanied Laughing Monk and others to the Southern Polar Bright Realm to slay the Ten Thousand Year Cold Serpent, expanding Radiant Realm into a subsidiary of Emei. The other Emei Disciples were all confined to the mountain for cultivation, which reduced Emei's conflicts with unorthodox sects considerably. As a result, fewer people viewed Emei Disciples as overbearing, and their attitude softened significantly. Even Xu Feiniang's provocations had less effect; there were far fewer people opposing Emei Sect compared to the original story. Of course, there were also fewer who helped Emei Sect, with most taking a neutral stance.
The third sword duel at Emei had arrived. Except for many who were particularly resentful of Emei, the rest of the participants were quite restrained. During the fights, both sides knew when to stop, resulting in significantly fewer casualties. Even Xu Feiniang ultimately spared their lives.
After witnessing the last lively match, Hanno and his three companions prepared to leave. Before they departed, they bid farewell to Fire Harmless and Li Lei. Both had already attained the status of Golden Immortal. They should have ascended when they became masters, but they were reluctant to part with Hanno and his companions, choosing to remain in the mortal realm for several more decades. They were well aware that the four were not natives of this world, which made their time together even more precious. Now that Hanno and his companions had to leave, although they felt a sense of loss, neither party suggested that the four stay behind. The four also never considered taking them along; they belonged to this world, and given their current strength, there was nothing in this realm that could pose a threat to them. Hanno and his companions could leave with peace of mind.
When Li Lei and Fire Harmless ascended, Hanno and his companions took a trip to the realm as well, where they met Cui Haike, who had already ascended long ago. With a familiar face looking after them, Hanno and his companions felt even more at ease about their departure. Carrying almost half the world's treasures, they returned home... or so it seemed!
Jia Qianjun and Long Wenwen returned home, while Hanno and Elder Brother Li were directly sent by Jia Qianjun to the world she wished to visit.
...
This time, Hanno's identity was quite remarkable; she was the princess of Aizawa Group and had an outstandingly handsome younger brother named Kagekiyo Atobe. This was an identity many transmigrators dreamed of acquiring. However, Hanno did not like it at all; on the contrary, she was extremely angry and nearly exploded. She had no idea where Jia Qianjun had taken Elder Brother Li. In this world, she had searched countless times but still could not find him!
Hanno vowed that once she returned to modern times, she would definitely give Jia Qianjun a good beating.
So where was Elder Brother Li now? As the scene shifted, you could see an older shrine. Upon entering the shrine, one could see a grandfather tending to bonsai trees, a mother cooking, a middle school girl doing homework, and her younger brother studying. Further inside, there was a tightly shut house; however, this did not hinder your omniscient view. You easily peered into the room and saw a well in the center. Looking into the well revealed not a dark abyss but a clear blue expanse—another world!
Elder Brother Li was no less irritable than Hanno because not only had he failed to find his beloved wife but he was also being pursued by a monk who constantly shouted about wanting to eliminate him as a monster!
Monster?! Elder Brother Li pondered silently. At this moment, his feelings mirrored Hanno's; he wanted nothing more than to return to modern times and give Jia Qianjun a good thrashing. Damn it! He had traversed so many worlds only ever as a human; how did he suddenly become a monster? And not just any monster—a very famous one at that! A BSS-level monster named Naraku!
Thanks to his beloved wife's recommendation, he had read that famous Japanese manga and knew what Naraku was—a major antagonist whose ultimate goal was to eliminate Naraku and destroy the Shikon Jewel... The worst part was that he had arrived too late. At this point in time, Naraku had already manipulated Inuyasha and Balloon Flower into fighting each other, leading to Balloon Flower's death while Inuyasha had been sealed away for ten years! It was clear that he was now under the influence of BSS-level aura!
Elder Brother Li wiped away his sweat; there was no choice—he had just arrived when he was chased by monks without much time to recover his strength.
Turning around helplessly, Elder Brother Li said, "Monk, did I dig up your ancestor's grave or kill your entire family? Why are you always chasing me?"
The monk was very young, wearing a carefree expression, but he indeed had some skills and was quite proficient in his magic. He declared, "You don't have the ability for that! Hmph, monster, my duty as Mi Hu is to subdue demons and eliminate evil. I will never let someone as wicked as you go."
Mi Hu? Confused? That name was quite fitting; no wonder he was a descendant of Maitreya.
"Mi Hu," Elder Brother Li did not want to linger any longer with the monk. He combined the spiritual energy he had cultivated over the past few days with his original demonic power, causing his aura to rise dramatically and overpower Mi Hu.
Mi Hu was drenched in sweat; this strength, this power... it was simply overwhelming, almost comparable to that of a deity. Could it be that this monster had already become a god?
"If you continue to bother me, I will open a hole in your hand that connects to the infinite void known as Wind Hole. Don't think this is helping you by allowing you to use Wind Hole to capture fairies. That Wind Hole will only grow larger and eventually swallow you too. Moreover, this Wind Hole will be inherited; it will pass down to your son and grandson, causing them to be devoured by Wind Hole at a young age, ensuring your line ends with you!"
With that, Elder Brother Li turned and left.
Mi Hu fell to the ground, drenched in sweat, his face marked by fear. It was unclear whether he was more afraid of Elder Brother Li's strength or the terrifying fate Elder Brother Li had described regarding Wind Hole leading to his extinction.
Elder Brother Li thought he now knew where Hanno was. If she wasn't in this world, then she must be in the world where Gowei resided. Therefore, the most important task was to find Bone-Eating Well. But where could Bone-Eating Well be? The memories left by Naraku were incomplete; aside from trapping Balloon Flower, Inuyasha, and other demon hunters and monsters, there were no significant details about the village where Balloon Flower lived or other relevant information that Naraku deemed unimportant and did not share with Elder Brother Li.
The village where Balloon Flower had lived had no name, making it extremely difficult to locate. Elder Brother Li had searched half of Mudong Kingdom without success and had no choice but to ask a newly acquainted friend for help.
"The forest that seals half-demons and the well that devours demon bones," Nurarihyon mused while stroking his chin. "Those features are quite distinct; don't worry, my Hundred Demons Brothers will definitely help you find that village."
"But why are you looking for a human village?" Nurarihyon asked curiously.
Elder Brother Li had not considered hiding the truth: "That Bone-Eating Well can lead to another world; I want to go there to find someone."
"Another world?" Nurarihyon's heart stirred as he recalled his deceased wife Sakura Hime. "Is it a world where the dead reside?"
"Can he occasionally go to that world to find Sakura Hime?"
Elder Brother Li's words shattered Nurarihyon's hopes. "No, the world on the other side of the Bone-Eating Well is hundreds of years in the future, still a world inhabited by humans."
"I see." Nurarihyon lost interest.
"Don't you want to see your descendants in the future?" Elder Brother Li asked.
"No." Nurarihyon resumed his lazy demeanor, waving his hand dismissively. "My descendants have their own lives; I don't want to interfere."
"You might regret not going."
"Pfft, the word 'regret' has never existed in my dictionary," he replied, just as he had never regretted sacrificing his heart to save Sakura Hime, which had shortened his lifespan.
With the help of Nurarihyon's hundred demons, Elder Brother Li finally located the village that sealed Inuyasha. He ventured into the woods to check on the dog demon who had been sealed due to the actions of his original self and entered the village. All demonic energy was suppressed, and Elder Brother Li appeared just like an ordinary person. The villagers welcomed this outsider warmly. However, when they heard Elder Brother Li inquiring about the Bone-Eating Well, they became wary.
"I hear you're asking about the Bone-Eating Well?" A girl with a bow and arrows appeared before Elder Brother Li. She looked to be around twenty years old and was quite beautiful.
"Yes," Elder Brother Li replied politely, smiling as if he were an elegant young nobleman.
