Konoha Thief

Chapter 502 Huang Quan
In the early morning of the next day, a piece of news spread in the ghost country.

"Master Maitreya is pregnant, this celebration is a success!"

One morning, the people of the country of ghosts were happily talking about this matter in the streets and alleys.

"Master Maitreya intends to go to the underground temple to worship in seven days, do you know about this?" Someone said in a proudly showing off tone.

"Oh, is there another matter?" Someone immediately responded, "I didn't hear anyone talking about it."

"Haha, of course you have nowhere to go to hear about it, but I heard it from my uncle's second aunt's daughter's neighbor's third uncle's nephew!" The man raised his chin, enjoying the gaze of the audience around him.

"Your uncle's second aunt's daughter's neighbor's third uncle's nephew is that kid who was selected to join the guard team protecting Lord Maitreya not long ago?" said the fat uncle (uncle) beside him, "I know that kid , I was a troublemaker before, but I didn't expect him to be able to join Lord Maitreya's guard."

Seeing that the audience was snatched away, the proud young man said dissatisfiedly, "Hey! Hey! Don't you want to hear what I'm going to say?"

"What else can you say?" Uncle (uncle) folded his arms and smiled, "Do you know what the underground temple Lord Maitreya is going to worship?"

"Of course I..." The young man narrowed his eyes, just about to say he knew, but he really didn't know.

For underground temples and mysterious ancestral halls, even the people of the ghost country mostly only hear their names.

He was so suppressed that his face was flushed, and suddenly his eyes rolled, and he snorted coldly: "I really don't know, but do you know?"

"I know." The uncle (uncle) slapped his face instantly.

The audience all looked at the young man, but they didn't laugh out loud, because they had enough patience.

But after a while, there was still an atmosphere of joy here.

The two people who stayed in front of the small stall put down the small objects in their hands, and disappeared into the street amidst the seller's annoyed muttering.

After a while, the two came to an ordinary two-story building, passed the companions who were greeting inside, went straight to the leader, and knelt respectfully on one knee.

"Lord Huang Quan, we heard a rumor." The two bowed their heads.

"Oh?" A man named Huang Quan in a black robe turned around in front of the window. He looked like he was in his prime, with a strong figure and a pair of bright eyes full of ambition on his stern face.

"The witch Maitreya was affected by the prayer technique in the previous celebration, and she is already pregnant. In addition, she plans to go to the underground temple to worship in seven days." One of them said.

"Go to the underground temple to worship?" Huang Quan frowned slightly, and said to himself: "When did witches have such a custom?"

"Master Huang Quan, if this is the case, it may be an opportunity for us to get rid of the witch and release Lord Spooky!" Hearing what the two returned reported, the others immediately said.

"That's right, Master Huang Quan, the thing we dreamed of has already shown us the dawn!"

"Please order, Master Huang Quan!"

"Order, Master Huang Quan!"

Looking at his subordinates with fiery expressions, Huang Quan couldn't help being infected, he clenched his hands and grinned.

"Then start preparing now, we will form a lore situation for the witch when she arrives in front of the underground temple!" Huang Quan shouted with a rampant expression on his face, "Then, we will release the monsters and overthrow the rule of the five powers , to build the ideal millennium country!"

"The Millennium Kingdom!" Everyone shouted excitedly.

……

Seven days passed in a blink of an eye. In the early morning of this day, in the palace at the center of the ghost kingdom, the carriages, horses, guards, and other things that were ready to go were all ready for departure.

"The gates are open!" shouted the soldiers on the solid log fence to the troops below.

"The team in front, let's go!" The captain of the guard ordered to the front after hearing the words.

The team started to set off, and in the spacious carriage with the most noble decoration, Xia Shu lowered the curtain that had been raised at one corner, and looked at the priestess on the opposite side who looked a little eager to try.

"Sorry, this is probably not the trip you expected." Xia Shu apologized.

"It's great to be able to travel." With a smile on the corner of Mi Le's mouth, he looked out through the slightly shaking curtain, "I have always hoped to be as free as ordinary people, without complicated and strict rules and regulations , to be able to make friends with other people. But then I understood my responsibilities. Compared with those selfish desires, as a witch, I must protect the world from monsters and monsters, so I worked hard to practice the art of sealing. Be ready for someday in the future."

"I admire you for being able to say such things, Maitreya Priestess." Xia Shu smiled and shook his head, "But no one has to protect others..."

"I'm different." Maitreya sighed, "Only I have to do that."

"Are you referring to your connection with the sprites?" Xia Shu chuckled lightly.

"Huh? How did you know?" Maitreya was startled when he heard this, and asked in surprise.

Priestess and sprites are originally one body, they are like light and darkness, good and evil, mutually repelling each other, and they are the exterior and interior of each other. To achieve the effect of seal suppression.

It's just that this kind of thing is extremely secretive, and it's the truth that generations of witches in the past didn't know. The reason why Maitreya knew it was because the lineage of witches has been passed down to her generation, and the accumulated power is enough to detect these situations.

But no matter what, Natsuki, a ninja from Konoha, shouldn't know about this kind of thing.

"Sure enough." Xia Shu suddenly raised his eyebrows when Maitreya was puzzled.

"Oh? You lied to me?" Maitreya froze for a moment, then frowned dissatisfiedly.

"It can only be said to be a test." Xia Shu shrugged innocently and said, "After all, the matter related to the sprites, but you said it yourself before."

"That's why you lied to me!" Maitreya said unreasonably.

"It's a temptation." Xia Shu corrected with a smile.

"It's a lie!" Maitreya puffed up his chest, his eyes widened even further.

"It's a temptation." Xia Shu continued.

"It's a scam!"

"It's a temptation."

"It's a scam!"

"...I admit defeat." Xia Shu raised his hands in surrender.

"Hmph!" Maitreya squinted at the other party complacently, apparently in a good mood.

The convoy drove for a while, and the cheers from the people of the ghost country no longer came from outside, but the team gradually made their way out of the city, and because the guards got the order in advance, they drove away the people of the ghost country who followed.

Maitreya noticed that the expression of the ninja sitting across from him became a little more serious, so he asked in a low voice, "Did you spot the enemy?"
