Slayer: Look directly at the Seraph, standing on the sun

Chapter 711 Quick Step

He strode to the platform, reached out, and prepared to seize the scroll. However, just as his fingers were about to touch the scroll, a chilling voice suddenly rang out from inside the stone house.

"Who is it?! Daring to trespass into the heavily guarded territory of the Hidden Mist Division!"

Zhang Hai turned around abruptly and saw a thin ninja wearing an animal mask standing at the entrance of the stone house, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He was clearly the guardian of this place.

Without the slightest hesitation, Zhang Hai instantly activated his Sharingan. He knew this was not the time for idle talk. He had to finish this quickly.

"Illusion Blade Technique: Instant!"

Zhang Hai charged forward suddenly, his katana slicing through the air like a ghost. His Illusion Blade Technique incorporated genjutsu chakra, making it incredibly fast and impossible to defend against.

"puff!"

A flash of light, and blood splattered. The guarding ninja didn't even have time to react before he fell to the ground. His throat had been precisely severed, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.

He couldn't believe he had been killed so easily. He couldn't believe the intruder was so powerful.

Zhang Hai glanced at the fallen corpse but said nothing. He knew he had to get the intelligence as soon as possible and leave.

He turned his gaze back to the scroll on the platform. A resolute light shone in his eyes.

……

After regaining consciousness, Yuan Shi immediately rushed back to the wedding venue. He saw that a large number of ninjas were still unconscious, and the snake-shaped wooden staff in their hands was gone. He knew that he had been completely tricked by Zhang Hai.

He stormed into the new house, shouting the names "Orb" and "Mei Terumi." However, there was no response from inside.

Yuan Shi suddenly pushed open the door, only to find the room in a mess. Terumi Mei was lying on the wedding bed with a strange smile on her face, clearly under an illusion.

"Damn it! That bastard!" Yuan Shi roared, his face filled with anger and self-reproach. He knew he had been deceived by that man called "Oub".

He approached Terumi Mei and, seeing the silly grin on her face, felt a pang of heartache. He knew that Terumi Mei had been deceived in love by this man.

Yuan Shi hesitated for a moment. He knew that if he dispelled Terumi Mei's illusion now, she would face a cruel reality. She would learn that she had been deceived emotionally by a stranger and had been used.

However, Genji ultimately decided to dispel Mei Terumi's illusion. He believed that it was better to wake up sooner rather than later than to remain immersed in false happiness.

He channeled his chakra and gently tapped Mei Terumi's forehead. A gentle stream of chakra instantly flowed into Mei Terumi's body, dispelling the genjutsu on her.

Mei Terumi's body trembled violently, and the smile on her face froze instantly. Her eyes became unfocused, and then she slowly opened them.

She looked at the unfamiliar surroundings and the anxious-looking Yuan Shi, her mind blank. She tried hard to recall everything that had happened before, but only scattered fragments came to mind.

Her memory is stuck on the moment she embraced and kissed Zhang Hai.

"Orb...where is my Orb?" Mei Terumi asked in confusion, her voice trembling slightly.

Genji looked at Terumi Mei, his eyes filled with pity. He sighed, his tone tinged with complex emotions. "Termui Mei... it's good that you're awake." He paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully, knowing that what he was about to say would shatter Terumi Mei's happiness completely.

Mei Terumi's eyes gradually cleared. She recalled the scene with Orb in the bridal chamber before she fell into the illusion. Her cheeks flushed again, tinged with shyness and regret. The interruption of that "final step" left her somewhat dissatisfied.

She sat up in bed and breathed a sigh of relief to find her wedding dress intact. But then she realized that only Yuan Shi was in the room; Ou Bu was nowhere to be seen.

"Master Genji, where is Orb? Where did he go?" Mei Terumi asked anxiously, her eyes filled with worry and anxiety.

Looking into Mei Terumi's expectant eyes, Genji felt a pang of pain in his heart. He knew that Mei Terumi was still immersed in a false happiness.

“Mei Terumi…” Genji’s voice was low and hoarse, “He… he may have already left.”

Mei Terumi was stunned by what she heard. An expression of disbelief appeared on her face. "Leave? Why would he leave? Didn't he say he wanted to marry me?" Her voice trembled with a sob.

Yuan Shi sighed, walked over to Terumi Mei, and gently patted her shoulder. "Terumi Mei, you're a smart child. Haven't you realized yet? You...you've been deceived by him."

Mei Terumi's body trembled violently, her face instantly turning pale. She had sensed something, of course, but she refused to admit it, refused to believe it. Suppressing her inner turmoil, her voice trembled slightly: "No...it can't be! He wouldn't lie to me! He...he said he loves me..."

“Love?” Master Yuan sneered, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. “A man who won’t even tell you his real name, a man who knows nothing about you, and you’re telling me he loves you?!” He paused, his tone turning serious. “He took my snake-shaped wooden staff. That staff is the key to unlocking the deep barrier of the Dark Division headquarters. He went to the Dark Division headquarters.”

Mei Terumi was struck dumb by Yuan Shi's words. Everything Zhang Hai had said before, and his deeply affectionate eyes, flashed through her mind. She realized then that she had been deceived and used.

Tears welled up in her eyes, blurring her vision. She felt as if her heart was being torn apart, a pain she couldn't bear.

"Master Yuan, take me there!" Mei Terumi suddenly stood up, her eyes filled with anger and determination. "I want to see what he's up to!"

Looking into Mei Terumi's eyes, filled with anger and determination, Yuan Shi knew he couldn't stop her. He sighed, a hint of helplessness in his voice: "Fine. Since you insist on going, I'll take you. But you should be prepared."

After saying that, Master Yuan led Terumi Mei and sped off towards the headquarters of the Dark Division.

……

Meanwhile, deep within the headquarters of the Hidden Mist Dark Division, Zhang Hai, wielding a snake-shaped wooden staff, arrived at the stone house. He gazed at the scroll on the high platform, surrounded by sealing magic, his eyes gleaming with unwavering determination.

He inserted the snake-shaped wooden staff into a groove on the high platform. The snake eyes of the staff instantly released two beams of red light, which intertwined like two living snakes, quickly wrapping around the sealing spell surrounding the scroll.
