My messenger is a little fox

Think about it, even if you don't mention the eighth prince's excellent personal conditions, just becoming the imperial concubine will bring you both fame and fortune. In the future, you can also hold the position of elder in the temple, just like the purple-robed priest. Which girl would not be tempted.

However, the Eighth Prince was eventually attracted to the lonely and maverick Takeda Masami, and helped her regain her optimism and cheerfulness, helped her adapt to the new way of practice, and helped her practice progress rapidly.

Takeda Masami was selected by the Eighth Prince, and her strength developed rapidly. Coupled with the operation of Takeda Daimyo and others, Takeda Masami finally received the attention of the temple again and was given the Night God Sword.

This series of events greatly stimulated Aso Jiahui. Yoshie Aso once again used her best tricks to slander and frame Masami Takeda in front of the Eighth Prince, but was seen through by Tokugawa Mitsuhiko who came out of the palace. Aso Yoshie failed to gain the upper hand by stealing the chicken, but instead let her image collapse in front of the Eighth Prince.

At this point, Aso Yoshie hated Takeda Masami. Later, when Takeda Masami left the temple, in addition to the political considerations of the royal family and Takeda Daimyo, this person was also indispensable to fuel the situation behind the scenes.

Takeda Masami caressed Jun Nian, recalling these past events one by one in her mind.

Aso Yoshie, it’s time to end these past events. Takeda Masami sheathed Jun Nian and opened her eyes, her eyes suddenly brightened.

The sound of Jun Nian sheathing was a little loud, which woke up Li Yu and Li Yu who were sleeping.

"The people from the Shrine are here!" Masami Takeda stood up and said with an evil smile on his face: "Get ready, don't let me yawn all of a sudden and have you chopped off!"

Li Yu stood up, and four figures walked slowly from the mountain pass in the distance. They were four witches in their iconic white clothes and red skirts.

"How was your rest?" Li Yu moved his shoulders a few times and asked Asakura Nako who was putting away the bedding.

"It's okay! My sleep quality has always been very high." Nako Asakura put the quilt into the spirit space and said.

"Then let's have a fight!" Li Yu showed a big smile, woke up the sleeping Ahri and threw him on his shoulder.

"Yes!" Asakura Nako smiled and nodded. This man always made her feel at ease, as if big things were nothing in front of him.

"Spread dog food!" Masami Takeda curled her lips and complained.

The four shrine maidens from the shrine seemed to move unhappily, but within a few breaths they were in front of the three of them.

"They are the four attendants of the Shrine with swords, guns, bows and shields. Their strength is second only to Aso Yoshie's team. It seems that we have a tough battle to fight." Takeda Masami said softly to Li Yu and the other two.

"It seems that your senior sister Aso has spent a lot of money to test us!"

Li Yu raised his eyes and looked around, and sure enough he found more than a dozen people from the temple on a hill slightly far away. Judging from the figure, dress and status of one of them, he should be Aso Yoshie.

Because in order to be as fair as possible in the trial field, it is stipulated that no third team can intervene in the battle between teams, unless that team is harmonious. Otherwise, the people coming to the shrine at this time would not be swords, guns, bows and shields, but would swarm them.

"They are all twins?" Asakura Nako's words caught Li Yu's attention. When he looked carefully, they were indeed four pairs of twins.

"Swords, guns, bows and shields are a coordination method that the temple has researched in recent years. It requires extremely high coordination, and twins have the best coordination, so this coordination is based on choosing talented twins for training." Takeda Masami explained with a cautious expression. : "Although each of them is only as strong as an ordinary third-level spiritual master, when they join forces, the king-level spiritual master will not be able to get an advantage in front of them."

"Senior Sister Takeda, hand over the Yagami Sword! This is an artifact belonging to our shrine." The four attendants with swords, guns, bows and shields took their seats, and among them, the miko holding the sword stepped forward and said, "We don't want to fight with Senior Sister. As long as Senior Sister hands us the Night God Sword, we will leave immediately."

"My master gave me the Yagami Sword in front of the statue of the God of Heaven. Only my master is qualified to go back." Masami Takeda sneered, "Besides, I don't believe that Senior Sister Aso is such a generous person! Please let it go. I, Senior Sister Aso, will not agree either."

"Please rest assured, Senior Sister Takeda, our actions have nothing to do with Senior Sister Aso. Retrieving the Yagami Sword is a task given to all of us by the temple. We are just trying to complete the task!" the sword attendant said.

"That's why you were sent as cannon fodder by Senior Sister Aso! Senior Sister Aso is on the mountain over there. Believe it or not, if I hand over the Yagami Sword to you, even if you don't take action, she will block us?" Masami Takeda sneered. .

"This..." The swordsman pondered for a while and said: "I'm sorry, Senior Sister Takeda. Retrieving the Night God Sword is our task, and other things are not within our scope of consideration."

"It's better to tell the truth than to speak too loudly!" Masami Takeda pulled out the Jun Nian sword and said boldly.

"Okay!" The swordsman nodded and returned to his position, unsheathed his sword and said, "Get ready!"

Takeda Masami did not directly meet them this time. Instead, he poured his spiritual power into Jun Nian and released a scrolling dragon. The shadow of the weapon spirit attached to a violent whirlwind and rolled towards the four people in the shrine.

When Asakura Nako saw Takeda Masami take action, she also drew her sword out of its sheath, and struck the sword attendant standing in the front with a fierce wind slash.

"Well done!"

The Swordsman shouted, and the sword in his hand clashed with the Lancer's spear, sending out a small fire dragon that crashed into the whirlwind, but ignored Asakura Nako's Gale Slash.

"boom!"

The fire dragon collided with the whirlwind and made a loud noise. The whirlwind dissipated directly and the fire dragon also shattered into fireballs scattered everywhere.

Just when Gale Slash was about to hit the sword warrior, the shield warrior behind him flashed his large shield, and an air shield appeared in front of the sword warrior, blocking the incoming sword energy. The bow attendant next to the shield attendant took the opportunity to grab three feather arrows and put them on the string together, and shot three arrows at Li Yu and the others at the same time. The three arrows left the string and formed three pillars of air, coming with a whistling sound.

"Get out of the way, don't pick up!"

Takeda Masami shouted, and his body pulled out a blur to hide away. Asakura Nako was about to use her sword to block the attack, but upon hearing this, she hurriedly stepped aside. Li Yu directly formed a small ice wall in front of him to block the arrows.

"boom!"

The three feather arrows exploded almost at the same time. Takeda Masami ran the farthest and was almost unaffected; Asakura Nako just dodged for a moment, never thinking that the arrow would explode. The explosion sounded beside her, and the air wave carried her away. His body staggered, his head sank, and he knelt down on the ground; Li Yu's ice wall was exploded by arrows, and the air wave only hit him with some small ice cubes. For his combined body, superficial.

Seeing Nako Asakura in a panic, the Jingu side stabbed her with swords and spears at the same time.

Asakura Nako was still in a confused stage and was unable to dodge at all. Fortunately, Li Yu was close and jumped in front of her, shooting several ice picks at the sword and gun duo. Takeda Masami wanted to return to support, but she was targeted by the archer and shot out a series of air arrows, making it difficult for her to get closer for a while.
