Seeing Uchiha Ryun speak like this, Tsunade did not press further. She nodded, "It is fine if you are okay. Nightmares are fake. Let us go back to sleep." She pulled at Ryun's hand, acting coquettishly.
Ryun pondered slightly. He wished it were fake, but Qing Xiao's remnant soul had already told him the truth. How could he remain unmoved? He smiled, "Tsunade, you sleep first. I need to go handle some matters."
After saying this, Ryun put on his clothes, soothed Tsunade, and left the villa. Tsunade thought deeply. She felt things were not that simple, and a vague female voice seemed to be telling her in her heart to follow quickly, not to let Ryun face it alone.
Therefore, Tsunade activated her Otsutsuki power to conceal her form and aura, reducing her presence. Because Ryun was currently anxious to resolve this mess, his mind was not on his surroundings. Worried, he walked out of Konoha and sprinted in the direction indicated by the arrow guided by Qing Xiao's remnant soul.
Ruan Yu now walked out of the dungeon, breathing fresh air after a long time. "Hmm. Although it is not the cultivation world, the fresh air still makes one feel refreshed."
She walked onto the street, her red robe attracting attention. The shinobi of Yugakure, thinking they were doomed today, wanted to have some fun before dying. They rushed towards Ruan Yu. Ruan Yu glanced at them. The next moment, those shinobi directly exploded.
Their blood essence and souls were domineeringly absorbed by Ruan Yu. She was a Demon Emperor. Although she had just revived and her power was less than one tenth of its original, she was still not someone these filthy humans could covet.
Feeling the aura within her body, Ruan Yu clicked her tongue. Trash indeed. This bit of blood essence and their so called chakra only allowed her to break through to the first level of Qi Refining.
Still, it was better than nothing. After killing everyone present, she estimated her power should reach the Core Formation stage. Then, she should be able to go find Qing Xiao.
The corners of her mouth lifted, her smile like a flower. Thinking of this, she disregarded human lives and began killing one by one. With each person killed, the aura around her became more solid, and her power grew stronger.
Some followers of the Jashin cult, sensing this power, bowed their heads in worship. "Lord Jashin. Lord Jashin." Ruan Yu smiled, then devoured their blood essence and souls, her power increasing again.
Usually, to gather faith, she created the image of a false Jashin, making people believe the Jashin they worshipped was an ugly deity. But in reality, the key to identifying Jashin was still that evil aura, which was demonic energy.
The Jashin cult members would only think she was Jashin possessing this body, so upon seeing her, they addressed her as Lord Jashin. She would not care about the lives of these believers. Since they believed in her, they should hand over their lives to her.
In less than thirty minutes, Yugakure became a city of death. Except for the Yugakure shinobi still fighting desperately at the village entrance, all living beings in Yugakure had turned into skeletons.
After absorbing the last trace of blood essence, Ruan Yu's lips curved upwards. "Good. My power has finally recovered to the middle stage of Foundation Establishment. Next are those slightly stronger ants."
She licked her lips, then looked towards the main gate of Yugakure, a thousand meters away. These were all ingredients for her cultivation improvement. Heaven is not benevolent, it treats all things as straw dogs. The Demon Venerable is not benevolent, he treats all living beings as blood food.
Bang.
The gate of Yugakure was shattered. Danzo, surrounded by his men, walked in. The next moment, his pupils contracted. He spoke, "All troops, retreat. Immediately."
In his heart, Shukaku trembled and said, "Danzo, run fast. There is a presence in the city not weaker than Uchiha Ryun. Going further in means death."
After so many years with Shukaku, Danzo knew Shukaku would absolutely not lie to him. So he immediately ordered everyone to retreat.
He formed hand seals, performing Wind Release, Vacuum Great Sphere.
The Kiri nin immediately retreated. They would not disobey Danzo's orders. Moreover, seeing Danzo's expression and hearing his voice, they knew the situation was bad.
The Seven Ninja Swordsmen guarded Danzo. Danzo was subordinate to the head of the Kiri bu. If he died, they could not account for it, including Ao as well.
"Wind attribute. In this small, backward world, there is actually someone who can wield the wind attribute." Ruan Yu was slightly surprised. Although she knew about chakra, her followers were low level characters who could not access many ninjutsu.
She waved her jade like hand. The Vacuum Great Sphere was directly crushed by her physical body.
Perceiving this, Shukaku quickly spoke, "Run. Danzo. It does not matter if they die. I will lend you all my chakra. Remember, run fast."
After saying this, Shukaku released all his chakra. Hearing Shukaku, Danzo grabbed Ao by the collar and immediately fled. The Seven Ninja Swordsmen performed the Hidden Mist Technique, preparing to withdraw.
Juzo Biwa was about to run when he found he could not move. Soon, a person walked towards him. A peerless beauty. But he could not muster any appreciation, only wanting to leave quickly.
"Tsk. Still not powerful enough. Otherwise, I would not have let that wind attribute junior escape." Ruan Yu walked up to Juzo Biwa, looking at him with a smiling face.
Juzo Biwa trembled all over. "Immortal, fairy, please let me go. I am the weakest among these people." Juzo Biwa's voice trembled.
Ruan Yu blinked. "Sorry, I am not an immortal. I am a demon, a demoness. So, obediently become my blood food." Ruan Yu said smilingly.
Then she reached her hand towards Juzo Biwa. Juzo Biwa closed his eyes in despair. The next moment, a pulling force pulled him away.
"Almighty Push." Uchiha Ryun made his entrance. With a wave of his right hand, he pulled Juzo Biwa away. According to the records in Qing Xiao's memories, after Ruan Yu became a demon, she would use human lives for cultivation.
It was not that he wanted to save Juzo Biwa, but if he stood by and let Juzo Biwa be devoured, then Ruan Yu's power would greatly increase. By then, he might not be able to deal with her.
He had to either seal her or destroy her while she was still in her weakened state. It was all his past life's fault. He hated his past life.
Seeing Uchiha Ryun, Ruan Yu's expression froze. Then her eyes turned red. She quickly walked towards Ryun. Juzo Biwa, seeing he was not dead, felt relief at surviving a disaster, then looked at Ryun and said with a grin.
"Thank you, Hokage sama." Then he saw the demoness walking towards them and quickly said, "Hokage sama, run fast. This woman is not right. Facing her, I did not even have the ability to resist." Juzo Biwa reminded.
"Hurry up and get lost. You are hindering my performance here." Ryun was speechless. If you are weak, practice more. If you cannot accept losing, do not play. What do you mean not right.
Juzo Biwa did not mind Ryun's attitude towards him. He said cheerfully, "Okay, bro, I will scram right now." After saying this, Juzo Biwa slicked the soles of his feet, glanced at Ruan Yu, and ran for his life.
Ruan Yu threw herself into Ryun's arms. "Xiao, have you finally come to find me. Yun Shou is dead. After so many years, have you finally come to your senses."
She frantically breathed in the scent on Ryun's body. Then her expression changed. She pushed Ryun away. "Qing Xiao, why is there the scent of another woman on you." Her eyes turned red. "Who is it. I will kill her." Immediately, Ruan Yu's aura surged.
Ryun roared, "Enough."
Ruan Yu's aura immediately weakened. She looked at Ryun pitifully. "Qing Xiao, do not be angry. I will not go find her. I just want to stay by your side, okay."
Ryun looked at the delicate and pitiful girl before him and sighed. "I am not Qing Xiao. I am Uchiha Ryun, a native of this Ninja World."
"Moreover, I am the leader of the Ninja World. Since you are not from the Ninja World, it would be best for you to leave early." Ryun said coldly.
"No. I will not mistake you. This appearance, this soul, you are Qing Xiao." Ruan Yu's eyes revealed madness. "If you are not Qing Xiao, why would you know I revived and come here immediately."
"If you did not have immortal power, how could you sense my existence." Ruan Yu said.
The corner of Ryun's mouth twitched. He quickly called out to the system, no, called out to Qing Xiao's remnant soul. Qing Xiao's remnant soul ignored him, just watching the show from within his body.
"Sigh, seems I can only rely on myself." Ryun sighed. He looked at Ruan Yu.
"I am indeed not Qing Xiao. To be precise, the Qing Xiao you mentioned is dead. I am his reincarnation's reincarnation. Although I learned about the cause and effect of past lives from dreams, miss, since it is the past life of a past life, when a person dies, the bond ends. Please let go."
"Although I am not Qing Xiao, I know you have deep affection for Qing Xiao. Over a thousand years have passed. It is time to let go." Ryun tried to reason.
Ruan Yu calculated with her fingers. After calculating the result, her face turned pale. She looked at Ryun with disbelief. "Qing Xiao, is really dead."
"Impossible. Absolutely impossible. Qing Xiao was an Immortal Venerable, with boundless lifespan. Even with only one tenth of his immortal essence left, he could live for hundreds of millions of years. How could he possibly die. I do not believe it. I do not believe it. You are lying to me, right." Ruan Yu calculated that what Ryun said was true.
But she could not believe it now, did not want to believe it. She had waited for so many years, only for Qing Xiao to have entered reincarnation, dissipated from the world.
Although this result was cruel, Ryun still sighed. "Fellow practitioner, why are you so deluded. Now that the obsession is gone, return to the immortal world, and you can definitely prove the Dao to become an Immortal Emperor. Go back quickly."
Ryun sweated for himself internally. Damn, this woman's power is not ordinary. Although she does not use chakra, I feel a lethal threat, much more terrifying than those Otsutsuki.
Just as Ruan Yu staggered, preparing to give up hope, the next moment Tsunade appeared. She walked to Ryun's side and asked, "Husband, who is she."
