The method to break the Lord Taishan ritual that Bai Cangshu and Xia Youjie learned from Tsuchimikado Ochiai was to find more than half of the ritual nodes and remove the opponent's blood seals attached to them.
Xia Youjie and Bai Cangshu immediately realized a possibility.
But no matter what means the two used to force Tsuchimikado Ochiai, the Old Gui just gritted his teeth, refusing to admit the fact that the Lord Taishan ritual could be artificially modified after it was activated.
Regardless, the price of the Lord Taishan ritual is actually paid by the direct descendants of the Tsuchimikado Clan.
The Abe family and its descendant, the Tsuchimikado Clan, have always worshiped the lord of mount tai as their main god, and in this clan's Onmyōdō, the Lord Taishan ritual became the most important aspect.
Tsuchimikado Ochiai originally thought the era of Onmyōdō was over, but the guy wearing a cloak and holding the sacred object of Mount Tai gave him hope.
The Lord Taishan ritual was not, as he said, tricked out of someone by the Bai Mian; it was precisely the head of the Tsuchimikado Clan who, for the revival of his clan, voluntarily handed it over.
But Bai Mian betrayed Tsuchimikado; Bai Mian, who seized the Destiny of Yakō, would never truly use such a powerful ritual as the Lord Taishan ritual to reincarnate some plot characters or reverse the national fortune of Japan in the mission world.
What she wanted was power!
Tsuchimikado Ochiai realized this after all the direct bloodlines of his clan died in Tokyo and he heard about the terrifying spiritual disaster.
But just as Bai Cangshu and Xia Youjie could guess that the ritual was not completely finished, Tsuchimikado Ochiai also knew.
He would not allow outsiders to use his clan's bloodline to perform the Lord Taishan ritual and seize all the benefits from the main god his clan worshiped.
But no matter how he concealed it, it was useless to Bai Cangshu, who could see through others' muscles, breathing, and cardiopulmonary activity.
With just a little effort, he could find the correct answer.
While Xia Youjie and the Fifth Element and others confronted the mysterious Reincarnators, Bai Cangshu relied on his perception of killing intent to quickly find the nodes and smear and cover them with his own blood.
The purpose of his appearance in front of the opponent and using Secret Rite: Inari God's Strike to attack him was merely to divert attention.
Both he and Xia Youjie were using actions to make the opponent mistakenly believe they wanted to kill him.
Xia Youjie was even more ostentatious, putting on a full show.
Bai Cangshu sneered; he knew what Xia Youjie wanted to do, nothing more than wanting to die in place of Gojo Satoru.
Xia Youjie harbored the idea of using the Lord Taishan ritual to reverse life and death.
Just like the most primitive records, a life for a life.
During the time after Gojo Satoru's death and the extinction of humanity in Tokyo, Xia Youjie had realized how insignificant a group sorcerers were.
Wanting to slaughter all ordinary people and then turn the world into a sorcerer's world was completely unrealistic.
The numbers of both sides were completely disproportionate.
If ordinary humans went extinct, sorcerers would also go extinct very quickly.
And after being given the title of Savior by the monkey with the title of Prime Minister, Xia Youjie felt his own insignificance even more.
Whether it was Ieiri Shoko's hidden despair or the sorcerers who fled Japan.
All made Xia Youjie realize his limitations.
Bai Cangshu then hinted to him that the Lord Taishan ritual could change everything.
Thus, the two had a subsequent plan.
Xia Youjie abandoned the idea of detonating a nuclear bomb in Tokyo to create a Special Grade Cursed Spirit, while Bai Cangshu completed his faction mission.
But upon reaching this node, Bai Cangshu revealed a triumphant smile.
What 'a life for a life', reviving Gojo Satoru? How could that compare to having great power reside within oneself?
"Lord Taishan ritual, activate!"
A strong spiritual energy instantly activated from numerous nodes.
Bai Mian was still wantonly unleashing her shamanic power in the air; even in terms of direct combat power, she didn't think Kai was definitely stronger than her.
But Fox Fire itself has the characteristic of shifting between reality and illusion, which is almost a perfect counter to a martial artist like Kai.
"Every attack you make on me is killing Gojo Satoru's spirit body."
"The weaker Gojo Satoru's spirit body is, the faster the gate to Yellow Springs will open."
Bai Mian's face was revealed from under the cloak for the first time; it was a delicate and small face, probably not even as big as Kai's palm, but the Woman with the exquisite face had an expression that seemed broken at this moment.
She would soon be able to cross the boundary of life and death in the baptism of Yellow Springs, becoming, in a sense, someone approaching the highest realm of Onmyōdō.
She could quickly turn her spirit into a 'Super Spirit Body' through this path, thereby stepping across her own constraints and entering the 'Fierce' rank, and it was even possible for her to subsequently take the position of 'Shaman King'.
Kai frowned tightly; he increasingly realized his shortcomings. It seemed that ever since the team suffered heavy losses and the team's strategist, Yan Qiu, was killed, his decisions had slowly lost balance.
At this moment, he was somewhat lost and helpless because of Bai Mian's words, not knowing whether he should continue attacking.
"Don't listen to her misleading words! The Curse Spirit King Gojo Satoru has already awakened! Kill her, Kai!"
Old Gui, who was being burned by Fox Fire, roared, his soul rapidly being reduce and weakened, but the man suddenly crushed a certain item.
Bang!
A circle of intense aura spread out.
Old Gui let out a painful roar, his body immediately elongated, his hair turned white and quickly trailed behind him, his body elongated further, and his loose robe couldn't hide his body being torn apart.
"Ah!"
He completely transformed into a Yokai swordsman, with a Hannya mask fused onto his face.
He sheathed the Katana in his hand, lowered his center of gravity, and the next moment, amidst the surge of intense Yokai energy.
A brilliant sword light ignited.
Ring!
The brilliance of this sword instantly overwhelmed Xia Youjie's "Cursed Technique Cannon"; Bai Mian also felt a pang in her heart. She raised her hands, and amidst the surging shamanic power, a ghostly blue flame burned, turning into a blue and white wall.
Puff!
The sword light entered the flame, instantly passing through her body.
Blood spurted from Bai Mian's waist and abdomen.
But at the same time, a huge gash appeared in Old Gui's waist and abdomen, and his intestines instantly spilled out.
His body hunched over, no longer able to resist, and he was swallowed by the ghostly blue flame.
"Kai... kill her!"
Old Gui's final voice echoed in Kai's ears, and the hesitant man finally seemed to have a sudden realization.
Bang!
His whole body shone with ripple power, and a silvery-white ripple instantly spread.
Kai's body slightly expanded, as if wrapped in ripple power, shining with a silvery-white radiance.
"Sorry, Old Gui, and... thank you for being willing to trust me."
At this moment, Bai Mian's previous words appeared in Kai's mind; he had indeed been seen through. Ever since the brothers who had trusted him and walked with him died one by one, he had begun to doubt himself.

After letting Bai Mian escape repeatedly using various strange abilities and watching her surpass him little by little, he himself began to distrust himself in his heart.
He didn't even notice it himself; he was just blindly following Bai Mian's tracks, exchanging resources for various attributes and abilities, but his heart had long lost the determination that he would definitely win.
Just like before, he wouldn't care about any ritual; he believed in his fist, that it could break through all obstacles and shatter Bai Mian herself, and all conspiracies would naturally lose their foundation.
But this time, he began to fear, began to think...
Old Gui used his death to tear open the disguise that Bai Mian's ability was not invincible.
She also needed to defend, and she would also get injured.
After unleashing his aura ferociously, a terrifying aura spread from Kai's body. At this moment, a true 'Strong High-Rank' Reincarnator began to show his presence.
"A Jia Su..."
A Jia Su hid hundreds of meters away, his face pale, completely unsure of what to do. Suddenly hearing Kai's voice, he turned around.
"Uh, Boss, what do you want me to do?"
Kai didn't turn back, just said
"Run."
"Huh?"
A Jia Su hadn't come to his senses, but where Kai was standing had already become the center of a hurricane.
"I said, run."
"Go find Yixiao, and escape as far as possible with him. Tell him that the Fifth Element will be handed over to him from now on."
[You have transferred the position of team leader]
A Jia Su was stunned. At this moment, the intense ripples, like a hurricane, completely dispersed the curses within the barrier, and the vision returned to normal.
Except for Gojo Satoru, who still seemed to be slowly recovering and mutating in the air, everyone's actions were clear at a glance.
Kai's hair danced wildly like weeds in the wind, and his slightly old-fashioned jacket flapped loudly.
But that unprecedentedly powerful aura little by little impacted A Jia Su's heart.
A Jia Su was now certain that this was truly that Kai, the pure martial arts Reincarnator who led the Fifth Element to rapid rise and shattered numerous powerful enemies with his fists.
The relaxed smile on Bai Mian's face had also disappeared at this moment; she looked indifferently at Kai below, who had found his way, like losing a beloved toy.
She liked to play with people's hearts, especially strong-looking guys like Kai.
"Bai Mian, in this battle today, I might die."
"But you will absolutely not leave completely unscathed."
Kai's expression was serious, and the next moment, his feet moved.
Without Bai Cangshu's exaggerated movements, Kai could completely control his strength approaching 40 points.
With one step, dozens of afterimages appeared. Bai Mian pulled out the Fox Fire wall again; her abilities were a mix of truth and falsehood, the real ability always disguised beneath that appearance.
Kai knew this wall could reflect damage, but it didn't matter; he just needed to know that the opponent would also be injured.
Kai punched out, and the green, red, and yellow lights on his fist shone simultaneously. With a brilliant display of colors, he appeared almost instantly in front of the fire wall, and punched out.
Bang!
The air caved in, then suddenly shattered.
Several sonic boom clouds exploded in front of Kai's fist.
The terrifying impact exploded destructively.
The powerful fighting spirit instantly completely penetrated Bai Mian's defense, bursting out of her body with a roar.
Her powerful shamanic power was unable to completely reflect this blow, and she herself coughed up blood.
Not only that, the intense fighting spirit and ripples caused Bai Mian's body to stiffen, briefly losing her ability to move.
Her pupils constricted as she watched Kai turn back, shift his center of gravity backward, and tense his muscles, her heart sinking.
Kai, on the other hand, let out a Turbid air, and intense fighting spirit spread around as if burning.
"Grit your teeth and take this blow."
