Bai Cangshu, gripping the heads of two Upper Moons in his left hand, finally had time to see the lines of refreshing prompts.
He didn't know if it was a mission judgment BUG or if this advancement mission allowed for acquiring multiple heads.
At this moment, the two heads in Bai Cangshu's hands were both judged as mission items that could be taken out of the Space. He put the two Upper Moon heads into his inventory.
He then ignored the Professor and Elizabeth, who were trying to use scientific equipment to search for the escaped Kibutsuji Muzan.
He lowered his head, surveying the basement where the smoke had cleared.
Sunlight, as the sun rose, began to pour into the basement.
In the chunks of flesh he had almost completely severed from Muzan's body, blue starlight began to gather point by point.
By the time Bai Cangshu noticed, a blue card appeared directly in front of him.
[You obtained a Drop Card (Blue)]
Bai Cangshu looked at the [Drop Card (Blue) of Nakime, the Biwa Ogre] in his hand. His heart stirred, and he put it away. Nakime's Blood Demon Art might possess extraordinary value.
At this moment, his body slowly began to shrink, and intense pain followed.
It wasn't just the bone-breaking pain in his hands, but also the severe pain coming from his abdomen.
Bai Cangshu walked out into the sunlight outside the wooden house and sat down cross-legged. His muscles began to spasm, and his physical condition rapidly deteriorated.
It just so happened that outside the city, with Prince Yuhito's death, the Professor and others had used modern weapons combined with high-explosive grenades to defeat the defending army. Kyoto had now returned to the hands of the traditional noble families like the Tsuchimikado.
These people had long since sent messengers to what was formerly Edo, now Tokyo, to report the matter of the Ogres murdering Prince Yuhito to the Taisho Emperor.
Religions like Shinto and Onmyodo were once the national religions of Japan and had considerable influence over the Emperor. Now that Kibutsuji Muzan's chosen partner, Yuhito, had been killed.
These people would naturally not allow Muzan to continue seizing power.
They had to counterattack as much as possible, publicizing the terror and harm of the Ogres.
The hundreds, even thousands, of people who died in Kyoto were the best evidence.
Bai Cangshu leaned against the ruins of the wooden house. The bloody scent emanating from him made the passing Onmyoji priests feel afraid and dare not approach.
"As expected, Our God did not misjudge you. You actually thwarted Kibutsuji Muzan's Conspiracy."
A Shinto Priest, dressed in white robes and wearing a crown, appeared before Bai Cangshu. This old man with white hair and beard was now radiant, clearly very pleased.
He reached out, preparing to help Bai Cangshu up, but when he tried to lift, he found that he couldn't move him at all.
The Shinto Priest tried again, then finally stepped back two paces, looking at Bai Cangshu, who was observing him with amusement. This old fellow finally stopped pretending.
"Your injuries are severe. Why not return to the Shrine with me first? I can treat your injuries."
The Professor walked out of the shadows of the wooden house ruins at this moment, looking at the Old God Master with vigilance.
She had also discovered that the reputation gained after killing Yuhitoand killing these Upper Moons was completely different.
In other words, these so-called important figures of the hidden factions were essentially not opposing Kibutsuji Muzan for the sake of justice, but for their own power and status.
She had to intervene to prevent them from discarding the Ubuyashiki Clan and the Demon Slayer Corps too early, which could lead to a sharp drop in the completion rate of their Main Mission.
Moreover...
The Professor looked at Bai Cangshu's injuries and also worried that this Shinto Priest had ill intentions.
But Bai Cangshu just smiled and followed the Shinto Priest away.
"Professor, Muzan probably split into hundreds of thousands of pieces of flesh and escaped through the hole dug by Hantengu. If you want perfect completion, you can try to blockade Kyoto and cooperate with the noble families in a carpet search."
"Nakime is dead, Muzan... can't run far."
After Bai Cangshu finished speaking, he followed the Shinto Priest towards the Fushimi Inari Shrine outside the city. Blood dripped along the way, but soon, the bleeding from Bai Cangshu's hands began to decrease.
The Professor squeezed a piece of shattered blue gemstone in her hand. Suddenly, she opened her eyes and looked at Bai Cangshu walking away, saying in surprise,
"Moon Breathing?"
Bai Cangshu walked behind the Shinto Priest. The frequency of his breathing through his nose and mouth was indeed completely different from before, and as his breathing frequency changed, the wounds on his hands began to contract, and the bleeding stopped.
However, the abnormal severe pain in Bai Cangshu's abdomen was still intensifying.

The muscle spasms made his condition look very poor at the moment.
The two walked through the fields and the bombed-out train tracks, and from the mountain gate passage formed by thousands of torii gates, they arrived at the entrance of the Shrine on the mountaintop.
The Shinto Priest turned around, looked at Bai Cangshu, and asked,
"How did you know that was not a divine oracle?"
Bai Cangshu's mouth curved up. He thought to himself, if the Inari Godcould still send down divine oracles, how could these major religions be suppressed by Kibutsuji Muzan.
But he was too lazy to explain to the other party, only saying,
"I don't care about your goals, and what you do is none of my business."
"However, I killed Yuhito and provided you with convenience. You must pay the price, otherwise..."
Bai Cangshu raised his head, looking at the Old God Master who could perform some divine feats in this largest Shrine in Kyoto using centuries of incense offerings, and revealed a chilling smile.
The smell of blood still lingered between his lips and teeth.
"Otherwise, I don't mind creating a few more massacres."
Bai Cangshu spoke casually, and his gaze was not fixed on the Old God Master.
But at this moment, the Old God Master felt a chill down his spine. A strange killing intent emanated from the other party, an aura that could only be accumulated by killing who knows how many people.
At this moment, the small, slender fox girl appeared behind the Old God Master again, her scarlet eyes fixed on Bai Cangshu.
But Bai Cangshu was completely fearless. If this thing truly had special combat power, it would have been sent out long ago by this old fellow who could plot to kill Yuhito for power.
The reason why their group's actions went so smoothly was nothing more than this old fellow and those stubborn forces having colluded long ago.
They, the Reincarnators, had served as a sharp knife.
"Heh, Mr. is joking. You have slain the evil Ogre for us and have shown great kindness to Kyoto and all of us. How could we not repay you?"
He lowered his body and held a talisman paper in both hands. Bai Cangshu took it, and a large amount of information immediately appeared before his eyes.
[Story Character Ogami Masaya has opened a Reputation Shop for you. You can exchange for hidden faction items here using reputation]
Bai Cangshu looked at the list that appeared before him, which contained various items and cultivation methods left behind by Shinto, the former largest religion in Japan.
