Rika Inoue closed her eyes and felt the confinement and suppression in the air, the power of silence.

This is a power similar to her [Forbidden], but completely different, far behind it.

Under this force, she felt that she could hardly mobilize the heavenly particles in the air.

"Uncle, what authority is this?"

The tavern owner rubbed his chin and smiled bitterly: "You really asked me about this. Sixty percent may belong to the dark field of heaven, and the remaining fourty percent may belong to the etheric sequence."

Rika Inoue was silent for a long time before she said:

"That was Minister Musashi just now? The person who broke up his Yanma was Ms. Fujiwara Kyoka, the chief of the Fujiwara family?"

The boss nodded and sighed: "This is the current situation in Yingzhou. The seven great masters led by the Saito family united together to try to pull the Yuan family off the throne."

"The executive department and the combat unit department within Yingzhou have also been divided into two camps."

Rika Inoue asked softly: "Didn't the Daxia faction intervene in Yingzhou affairs?"

The boss shook his head and said, "I can't even interfere now. The Saito family has seized some of the authority of the large alchemy array covering the entire Yingzhou. Now this formation has completely isolated Yingzhou and Yingzhou. Don't think of coming in or going out in the short term.

Unless Chen Fusheng takes action with the authority of the Lord of the East Realm, the problem is that the bill of extra-legal autonomy and certain special factors make Chen Fusheng unable to do so.

Today, Yingzhou is just a civil strife in the outside world."

Rika Inoue bit her lips and looked at the darker and darker night:

"Is there no reason for the old pseudo-gods to escape from the trap? Isn't this reason enough to get the Daxia faction to take action?"

Regarding this question, the boss sighed: "It's enough, of course enough, but the problem is that if you don't go to the barriers that separate Yingzhou and the outside world for a day, how can Chen Fusheng learn about this news?"

"How can I close the barriers that isolate the inside and outside?" asked Rika Inoue.

The boss shook his head and said, "Does Rika still want to remove that barrier? That's not within Rika's ability. Rika now...it's better to run away quickly."

Facing Inoue Rika's blank gaze, the boss patted her on the shoulder and said:

"The Ten Commandments of Saito have been monitoring me. When you appeared in my store yesterday, they had already heard the news and were on the way."

"If they want to know what happened in [Gaotianyuan], you are their first target."

Rika Inoue was speechless and smiled bitterly: "Escape? Where are you going? Are there any places to escape in Yingzhou now?"

The tavern owner said with a deep expression: "Don't give up easily! If that false god really escapes from [Gaotianyuan], another purpose they are aiming at you is to use you as the container of that false god!

Is Rika willing to lose all her consciousness from now on and her body becomes a container for others?

Finally, I’ll give Rika a surprise. Akaichikun is now staying at your original home. Rika should know where it is, right?"

When he heard the last sentence, Rika Inoue looked at the boss blankly.

Her body trembled slightly, she wanted to speak but stopped. She opened her lips several times, but she swallowed the words she was about to blurt out at the last moment.

The owner of the tavern smiled and stretched out his big hand and gently pressed it on Rika Inoue's head, encouraging:

"This is not a lie of kindness, it is the good news I received not long ago, and it comes from one of my most trusted subordinates."

"Rika, go find him, he must be looking for you too."

"As for this place, let me leave it to me, the old guy."

He leaned over and whispered in her ear to tell the secret door in the store.

Looking at the familiar uncle in front of him who could not be more familiar, Rika Inoue suddenly realized that she had no idea about this man who had long been regarded as an elder.

He once boasted with her many seemingly irrelevant cowhides.

I also worried about the relationship between her and Akaichi-kun. I pointed at them as someone who has experienced it, and often looked like I wanted to play in person.

"Ah, right." The boss suddenly remembered something and rubbed his hands embarrassedly. He asked Lika to say, "After finding Akatsuki, please help me apologize to him. In order to guide him into [Gaotianyuan], several subordinates beat him up very hard."

"Guide...Uncle, you are..."

This man, who had a scar on his face, lived for hundreds of years but still maintained his middle-aged appearance, laughed loudly:

"Lixiang, Uncle has bragged a lot in his life and has told many lies, but in front of you, the uncle has never told a lie!"

"Go away quickly, it will be too late if you don't leave!"

"Don't worry about too many things. People should be selfish when they have time. Leave Tokyo to find your Akaichikkun. Even if they die, they should die with their beloved!"

He pushed Rika Inoue into the store with a sudden push, closed the door heavily, and faced all the storms alone.

"There is one more sentence, Rika, you are actually not like Sakurako at all."

The old man who had been walking around the kitchen for hundreds of years talked to himself, and took out a cigarette box and a box of matches from the front pocket of the kitchen skirt.

After several consecutive attempts to ignite, the old man had no choice but to throw away the matchbox, rub his index finger and thumb, and the crimson flames ignited out of thin air, igniting the cigarette.

"It's still reliable for your own family, not your own, so you can't count on it." The old man sighed with emotion.

"Senior Himura is saying something."

A chuckle came from the darkness.

Just before the old man pushed Rika Inoue into the tavern, the alley was surrounded by hundreds of outlaws.

The old man sniffled and said, "Don't add this old word. I'm called Lao Lao for no reason. Our Lixiang kept calling me uncle."

Saito Ten Commandments smiled and said, "It is natural for the old senior who has lived for nearly five hundred years to scream. I just don't know, are you still able to use a knife now?"

The old man laughed and said, "You guys come and try it out?"

The Ten Commandments of Saito were not angry at all by this sentence. He looked at the person in front of him with regret and said:

"Actually, I respected Senior Himura in the past, but why did you seek death? You haven't interfered in anything for hundreds of years, why did you still take action for others at this moment? It's because Rika Inoue looks very similar to Princess Sakurako back then? It's really not worth it."

The old man who put out the cigarette butts turned a deaf ear to his eyes. The blue vein was beating and his mottled big hand held the worn-out umbrella that had been placed in front of the store for dozens of years.

A long knife was drawn from it.

There are countless people passing by this store every day, but no one knows it. In the dilapidated umbrella placed at the door of the store, there is such a shabby, sharp ancient knife that is like a killing and not blood-stained.

Saito Ten Commandments said regretfully: "Senior is still going to take action? That's why today is the death day of the longest-lived extrajudicial person in Yingzhou's history."

The man holding the long knife in his right hand jumped again in his eyes that had not been ignited for hundreds of years. He smiled and said:

"It's hard to say who's death day is, but I think it's impossible for me to be mine."

"I'm a year of life and death abroad. Don't talk about you, even your grandfather hasn't been born yet."

"The name of the sword - [Liu Blade Like Fire], who will die first?"

...

...

Rika Inoue, who climbed out of the tavern secretly, found that she was already in a street several thousand meters away from the alley.

She suddenly turned around and looked back.

I saw the flame flow that seemed to burn the world to the sky like a waterfall against the current, igniting the darkness!
