Hiding on a hillside not far from the battlefield, Takagi Akira sighed as he looked at the resistance army whose front line was shrinking.

"The situation down here is obviously not favorable to the rebels, but the shogunate army's desire to advance is not very strong, it seems like they are on guard against something."

"Even so, the resistance army is still being suppressed by the shogunate army."

Paimon placed his hands on his brows and craned his neck to look in the direction of the battlefield.

After witnessing the bloodiness of the battlefield, Paimon shrank into Ying's arms. Ying gently patted Paimon, who had buried his head in her arms, to comfort him, and then looked at Takagi Akira and Thomas beside her.

"Would you like to help? If the resistance army is defeated by the shogunate army, our goal of making the Tenryo Bugyo unable to withstand the pressure and tell the truth to General Raiden, thus abolishing the Eye Hunting Order, will not work."

Takagi Akira directly rejected Ying's proposal.

"It's better not to. The shogunate army and the rebels are already fighting each other on the battlefield below. If we act rashly, it will only stimulate the fragile and sensitive nerves of both sides, causing us to be besieged by both sides."

"I agree with Akira Takagi."

Thomas nodded in agreement.

"As far as I know, the rebel general Goro has been active on the front lines, but I haven't found anyone like Goro among the rebels below."

"I think this is why the shogunate army is on alert, guarding against Lord Goro's surprise attack. This means that it would be dangerous to suddenly join the battlefield, so it is better for us to bypass the battlefield and go to the rebels' base now."

After bypassing the battlefield of Takanashi Sand, Takagi Akira and his companions arrived at Nashiki Beach, where they could see many rebels transporting supplies towards Yakuin Island.

Thomas was somewhat confused by the actions of the rebels.

"Strange, the rebels are actually transporting supplies back. Shouldn't they ensure supplies for the frontline troops? Aren't they afraid of a mutiny?"

"It's clear that the resistance forces are shrinking their forces. It seems that the resistance forces currently fighting in Tadashi Sand are trying to delay time. The shogunate army has been deceived by the resistance forces' past impressions."

Gao Muming showed a look of understanding.

"It seems that the arrival of Kujo Sara has put great pressure on the rebels, forcing them to switch from being on the offensive to being on the defensive."

"Are we really going to Bayun Island to join the resistance? To be honest, the sky that keeps flashing with lightning gives me a very bad feeling."

Looking at the Bayun Island shrouded in dark clouds and thunderstorms, Sky Paimon shuddered unconsciously when he recalled the previous attack by General Thunder.

After hearing what Paimon said, Thomas also looked in the direction of Bayun Island. After seeing the situation in the sky clearly, Thomas showed a shocked expression.

"How did Bayun Island become like this? According to the reports from the Yin-Yang masters who completed the routine maintenance ceremony not long ago, Bayun Island did not show any obvious abnormalities."

"If it was General Raiden who was angry, this scene should have appeared on Haiqi Island, the base of the rebels. Could it be that after the Onmyoji finished routine maintenance, something went wrong with the talisman on Bayun Island?"

"Both the top brass of Haiqi Island and the shogunate army are well aware of the serious consequences of destroying the talisman and releasing the 'evil spirit'. Both sides should have tacitly agreed not to attack the talisman."

"But the current situation on Bayun Island clearly means that there is something wrong with the town's charms."

Ying, who was standing by, heard what Thomas said and asked out of curiosity.

"What is the evil spirit?"

"Here you can also see the snake bones that are as numerous as mountains on Bayun Island, right? They are the demon snake Orobas that was once killed by General Raiden with one sword. The 'Evil God' is the energy emitted by the bones of the slain Orobas."

"'Suishin' turns out to be Inazuma's name for the evil spirit."

After hearing Thomas' explanation, Ying showed a look of realization, and then his face turned ugly when he looked at Bayin Island.

"The demon's resentment has become so strong that it has affected the celestial phenomena. How miserable will the people living on Bayun Island be who don't have the Eye of God and can't use elemental power and have almost no resistance to the demon's resentment be?"

Thomas, who was beside Ying, was looking at the sky of Bayun Island and muttering to himself.

"That shouldn't be the case. I heard the head of the family mention that after the rebels went to war with the shogunate, the Yae Palace Master specially mobilized personnel from the Tenryo Bugyo to guard the various talismans on Yayun Island."

"The situation is so bad, why didn't our agency receive any relevant information?"

Thomas's face turned as dark as the bottom of a pot when he thought of a possible solution, and he spoke in disbelief.

"Could it be that the Tenryo Bugyo Kujo Takayuki-sama even concealed the news of the spreading of the evil spirit?"

Thomas immediately looked at Ying.

"I'm sorry Ying, I'm afraid I can't go with you to join the resistance. You should follow these people who are transporting supplies to join the resistance."

"I need to go to Baying Island to investigate the specific situation, and then report the news back to the Society Executive, and ask Lord Yae to send someone to deal with the situation on Baying Island as appropriate."

Hearing Thomas say this, Ying spoke up immediately.

"We'll go with you if we have more people and more strength. The problem of the Eye Hunting Order or the 'Evil God' is more serious and urgent. Besides, we can see from here that the specific situation of Bayun Island must be very bad. It's not safe for you to go alone."

"Thank you so much."

In response to Thomas' thanks, Ying waved her hand.

"You're welcome. Let's go to Bayun Island and investigate the situation."

Not long after, a group of four people landed on Bayun Island in the thunderstorm.

"What a heavy thunderstorm."

Paimon, hiding under Ying's umbrella, sighed, then looked at Thomas behind the rain curtain and asked.

"Thomas, where should we start exploring?"

Thomas, who was observing the terrain to confirm the direction, stopped what he was doing when Paimon asked this.

"The situation here is even worse than I imagined."

After sighing, Thomas told his plan.

"I want to first investigate the talisman 'Ming Shen Pan Zhu' that General Lei Dian set up to suppress the 'evil god', to see if there is any possibility of repairing it. After all, it is a talisman that General Lei Dian set up personally and it should be impossible to completely destroy it with human power."

Hearing Thomas say this, Ying nodded in agreement.

"That's good. If we can repair the Mingshen Pillar, at least the situation on Yayun Island won't get worse. Let's go over and investigate."

After Ying finished speaking, she stood there waiting for Thomas to lead the way, but Thomas just stood there looking around and didn't take any action immediately.

"What are you waiting for? Time is running out, why don't you take us to explore the 'Murakami Iwahashira'?"

Thomas scratched his head in embarrassment at Paimon's question.

"To be honest, although I have seen relevant information about Baying Island and the 'Ming Shen Panzhu' in the records, I have never been to Baying Island in person. For a moment, I really don't know where to go."

Thomas said with an awkward smile.

"But I remember there should be a 'Ming Shen Panzhu' not far from where we are. Let's quickly cross the narrow gap between the Wu Xiang Blades and go look for it."
