Chapter 747: Chapter 606: A Life for a Life Chapter 747: Chapter 606: A Life for a Life Hankawa.

The figure of Yatagarasu Kensumi fell from the sky, the downward blast of air rolling up the snow on the ground. He strode forward, his expression solemn, as he walked into the room where Sword Master Cold Crow resided.

“Father, I have returned.”

Yatagarasu Kensumi took out the box containing the Flower of Eternal Darkness.

In the room, a member of the Yatagarasu Akiryu kneeled at one side, his severed arm having regrown. His breath was steady, and his injuries had healed significantly.

“So soon?” Sword Master Cold Crow’s face flashed with surprise, but quickly, seeing Yatagarasu Kensumi alone, Sword Master Cold Crow realized something.

“Roger…”

“To escape the blockade, I abandoned him.”

Yatagarasu Kensumi lowered his head.

Sword Master Cold Crow furrowed his brow, a complex look flitting across his eyes. He opened the wooden box on the table, the Flower of Eternal Darkness inside shimmering with radiance.

“Is he dead?”

He asked.

“More likely than not.”

“The people from Tengu Shrine somehow obtained our location and had prepared an ambush. They dispatched eight Onmyoji, activated the Onmyoji Array, and with Roger’s strength, even if he was facing the remaining six, he would have no way to escape.”

“What’s more, once the blockade was in place, even if he killed everyone, he couldn’t leave that area.”

“It wouldn’t take long for the Onmyoji who follow to surround him.”

“He…”

At this point, Yatagarasu Kensumi closed his mouth.

Clearly, he did not think Roger could survive.

“What a pity.”

Sword Master Cold Crow looked at the Flower of Eternal Darkness on the table without much joy, closed the box, and waved his hand tiredly.

“Take it to Michihiro Morita.”

“Yes.”

The member of Yatagarasu Akiryu responded.

“You have done well, you can go now,” Sword Master Cold Crow said to Yatagarasu Kensumi.

Kensumi slowly stood up, not lifting his head as he left the room.

No sooner had he stepped out than a graceful figure streaked from the distance. Yuuki Nao, like a fluttering butterfly, arrived next to Yatagarasu Kensumi.

But Yatagarasu Kensumi didn’t notice the concern on the face of the woman in front of him. He frowned, ignoring Yuuki Nao’s questions, and walked alone in one direction.

“Lord Kensumi, that place… that is where the Meiryu Lord resides.”

“I know.”

Yatagarasu Kensumi spoke in a low voice.

The snow fell gently to the ground, covering him in a veil of white, as Yatagarasu Kensumi did not unleash his Spiritual Power and let himself be blanketed.

Soon, he arrived at a courtyard.

Without entering, Yatagarasu Kensumi stood at the door expressionless.

The disciples stationed at the door saw Yatagarasu Kensumi and exchanged looks, wanting to approach him to ask questions. However, seeing the expression on Kensumi’s face, they stepped back unanimously.

Before long, a tall figure approached from the snowy wind.

It was the Yatagarasu Akiryu who had just returned from Michihiro Morita’s.

Seeing Kensumi standing at the door, the Yatagarasu Akiryu showed no surprise.

“People from Tengu Shrine secretly infiltrated Mingsha City, and you have always been in charge of this area.”

“Do you suspect I betrayed the foster father?”

Yatagarasu Akiryu’s dark brows furrowed together, a hint of amusement on his face as he posed the question.

Kensumi did not answer Yatagarasu Akiryu’s question. “The operation was led by one of the eight branches, Konoha Tengu. I want to know where I can find him.”

Kensumi looked up.

“What are you planning to do?”

The voice of Yatagarasu Akiryu was low, his fists clenched.

“I’m going to kill someone.”

Fury burned in Yatagarasu Kensumi’s eyes, the fire of revenge flickering within.

But upon hearing his words, Yatagarasu Akiryu couldn’t help but laugh aloud.

“Ha, are you joking?” Yatagarasu Akiryu’s gaze toward Kensumi was as if he were looking at a fool.

“That Roger may have been foster father’s student, but he never received the Three-legged Crow inheritance. In the end, he was just an outsider.”

“Honestly, I was almost at the point of clapping in admiration for the choices you made and the timing of your departure. It was impeccable.”

“Foster father is Cold Crow, and without him, the Sword Pavilion would disintegrate. In that situation, your ability to maintain the bigger picture impresses me greatly.”

The smile on Yatagarasu Akiryu’s face faded. “But what did you just say?”

“You want to trouble Konoha and seek revenge for that Roger?!”

Yatagarasu Akiryu’s eyes now openly showed his contempt.

“Mud is always mud.”

“Even with careful crafting, it can only become a beautiful vase.”

Yatagarasu Akiryu snorted coldly.

“You wasted foster father’s years of nurturing and the resources of Cold Crow. Had foster father heard your words, he would have wished to slap you dead on the spot.”

At this, he stepped forward, his towering figure like an Iron Tower blocking Yatagarasu Kensumi’s view.

The height difference between the two was stark, and with Kensumi standing before Yatagarasu Akiryu, he was almost completely engulfed in the other’s shadow.

“Frankly, your naivete disgusts me!”

Yatagarasu Akiryu looked down on Kensumi from his height.

“Think about it, all you enjoy now comes not from your efforts, but the decision of one man.”

“You are his son, hehe, but unfortunately…”

Yatagarasu Kensumi’s robust form brushed past Kensumi.

“Get lost before I change my mind.”

“Pity, guilt?

“Those are things for the weak, you truly make me ashamed.”

“The same goes for… you are sullying the Yatagarasu inheritance!”

Yatagarasu Akiryu stepped into the gate, and just then, Kensumi’s calm voice came from behind.

“The place you mentioned is dangerous. This time, if it weren’t for Roger, I wouldn’t have lived to bring back the Flower of Eternal Darkness.”
