Knocking on the door of Pupil Art in Yuanshen

The next day, Coral Palace Xinhai arrived at the unnamed island early.

She led people to stand at the negotiation table. The venue was surrounded by screens set up by the shogunate and Kaijijima with their respective flags.

"You're finally here..." When she saw Kujo Sora arriving as promised, she suddenly felt relieved.

It seems that the shogunate is still in the mood for peace talks, this thought just flashed through her mind.

Immediately afterwards, she saw Zhaoyue, who was showing off her figure, and her face immediately turned sour.

"Is Tianling Shou Zhi going to use Lord Si Dai to lead this peace negotiation?" She suppressed the panic in her heart and looked calm.

It seems that the next moment they will tear up the agreement and leave, terminating the peace talks.

"Of course not, I just want you to understand the differences between us when negotiating the terms." Shang Shang Zhaoyue took over.

To put it bluntly, his arrival was actually overwhelming others with force.

Suddenly, several people behind her were filled with indignation, and their eyes seemed to be on fire at any moment, but they still did not dare to rush forward at will.

Not only because of killing the chicken last night to scare the monkeys, but also because after calming down, I considered my responsibilities.

They are the guards of Coral Palace Xinhai, how can they act on their own initiative and cause misfortune to their own leaders.

"...Huh." Coral Palace Xinhai had been paying attention to their movements and breathed a long sigh of relief when he saw them calm down.

But she still said decisively, "There is no way Kaijijima would be willing to become a vassal of the shogunate."

"Lord Coral Palace!" the attendants exclaimed, as if to ask her to think twice, but now the situation was reversed. It was clearly Coral Palace Xinhai who dissuaded them before.

But she seemed to be ready to die to prove her ambition, and put her hand on the sapphire blue Eye of God on her chest.

Kujo Sora looked at Shangshan Zhaoyue, but couldn't get the answer from his face.

"Why, or isn't it good?" she couldn't help but ask.

"Because of faith." Her voice was firm. She knew very well that some things might be compromised, but the hatred of faith that lasted for thousands of years could not be disintegrated overnight.

If the shogunate is really eager to capture Kaiji Island, then all she can do is to be the first to stand up and risk her life, and then try her best to save the fire.

"..." Kujo Sora was silent, and she suddenly understood why.

As a loyal supporter of General Thunder, she is also fighting for her faith in a sense, so she naturally understands what a conflict of faith is.

Although she advocated for the shogunate to control the entire Inazuma territory, it was obvious that she had not considered these issues in advance.

In her opinion, the entire Inazuma territory was the territory of General Raiden, and it was natural for Kaiji Island to surrender. She was immediately troubled when she thought about these issues left over from history.

Fortunately, Shangshan Zhaoyue saw her embarrassment and said in time, "We are not asking Kaiji Island to be returned to the shogunate immediately. We just want to strive for some favorable terms, and of course we will try our best to achieve mutual benefit and win-win results."

The reason why he knew about the conflict of faith was thanks to a chat between Yae Shenzi, so now that he met him, he was already prepared.

Upon seeing this, Kujo Sora also echoed, "We promise to temporarily ensure the independence of Kaiji Island and let time kill the hatred."

"Then it seems... we need to have a good discussion, how long will this last..." Coral Palace Xinhai's face finally showed a reluctant smile.

She was very powerless, but she knew that returning Kaiji Island to the shogunate was the bottom line for this negotiation to proceed.

The shogunate is willing to extend this period, but they don't know how many years it will be.

The peace talks finally ended successfully, with more or less smiles on both sides' faces, but Coral Palace's heart was also a little sad while smiling.

She smiled because with the shogunate's material resources, the scarce medical and other resources on Kaiji Island could finally be relaxed.

Of course, she was worried. She promised to educate the people of Kaiji Island to give up their past grievances, not to let go of their faith, but they must recognize the leadership of the shogunate.

At that time, Kaiji Island can still maintain its autonomy, but the general policy must be consistent with the shogunate.

This point was put forward by Shang Shang Zhaoyue. The delaying strategy he proposed based on modern thinking is similar to the special administrative region.

Since it is similar to a special administrative region, military and political powers must be taken over. If things go on for a long time, Haiji Island may finally be independent of only worship and belief.

After all, the national conditions are different from those of that time. In the shogunate there was Raiden Shogun and Shangge Shogetsu.

With two demon gods sitting in command, if Kaijijima does not learn to hide under the eaves of the shogunate to take shelter from the rain, it will not be able to escape the fate of being cut apart even if it is not judged by lightning from the sky.

It's much more miserable than the missing piece of Tatar sand.

In addition, during the negotiation, some of the guards behind Coral Palace Xinhai kept looking at him angrily.

He didn't quite understand this, just like why some domestic ducks and geese dared to flutter their wings in front of lions and use their eyes to apply colors.

Wild beasts that don't know how to restrain their fangs will be subdued and repaired by force, not to mention that they are domestic kittens at best?

"Then Sir Si Dai, I will take my leave first." Coral Palace Xinhai bowed politely, and then hurriedly led the people away, not wanting to stay any longer.

"Then I'm leaving too." He turned around and said to Kujo Sora, planning to part ways directly here.

"Leave?" She looked puzzled, "How do you leave?"

This island is surrounded by the sea and there are no boats. Do you think you have a "Yi Lai Hagoromo"?

Kujo Sura had also heard a little bit about the secret technique of the Coral Palace. It was said that it could allow people to walk on the sea. She actually wanted to try it.

Of course Shangshan Zhaoyue does not have the "Yi Lai Hagoromo", but his method is undoubtedly more efficient.

"If you want to go back to Kujo Town House to arrange manpower, I won't take you with you."

The triangular windmill in his eyes was spinning, and the twisted space allowed him to penetrate the limitations of distance. His whole person slowly folded with the space and disappeared in Kujo Sora's surprised gaze.

"..." Not only her, but also several accompanying warriors were shocked and speechless.

"...Go back to the military camp," she could only say dryly, and took the lead on the way back.

"..." The warriors looked at each other, but they had no choice but to follow Kujo Sora. Their boat was docked on the shore not far away.

Castle tower.

Shangshang Zhaoyue appeared in the whirlpool, and his figure appeared in the lonely hall. Before he could take a breath, General Thunder and Lightning stopped and looked this way with sharp eyes.

"How did you break in?"

"Those who trespass on this place should be wiped out immediately!"

"The use of force is prohibited."

She covered her head in pain and stood there blankly.

"..." Shangshang Zhaoyue was silent for a while, then looked up at the desk on the high platform. Official documents there were already piled up like a mountain.

"..." He suddenly didn't want to work anymore...

"Huh..." He calmed down and decided to take a quick trip. Anyway, Inazuma's affairs had basically settled down.

What's more, according to usual experience, after he enters the world in the door, the flow of time is different from here. One hour may not pass here for a year when he is there.

As his senses emptied, darkness came in like a tide, and a familiar bronze door appeared in front of him, and the ancient and vast atmosphere rushed towards him.

The moment he disappeared, General Thunderbolt stiffened imperceptibly, and then continued to pace.

The main hall of the castle tower was once again submerged in silence, with only the clatter of boots echoing around the beams.

After Shangshang Zhaoyue regained his sight, he began to look around, and his eyes suddenly appeared with strange colors, which could not be described as unsurprising.

A new imprint appeared on the bronze door leaf imprinted with the pattern of the round fan. On the periphery of the round fan, a triangular pinwheel-shaped outline lit up.

Just by getting closer, Shangshang Zhaoyue felt that it echoed his own eye power. However, the triangular windmill was not complete. It only lit up two corners, and the third corner only glowed with a subtle red light.

In addition to the red light, a second kind of light also lit up in the dark space, which was majestic, golden light like an emperor.

Its symbolic imprint is a ferocious and roaring dragon head, with clear scales and layers of covering, so lifelike that it seems to be able to break free from the shackles of the door at any time and descend into this silent space.

"..." He first covered the branded door with his hand, but as expected, it didn't move at all.

He felt rejected, and in desperation, he had no choice but to look at the door with the Dragon Head Brand not far away.

It is also made of bronze and has the same tall size. Just getting close to it gives people a vague pressure. Fortunately, the outline of its dragon head imprint is fully lit.

He tried to cover his hands, and sure enough he got permission to intervene.

Without hesitation, he pushed it open, and there was a gorgeous galaxy inside the door, but this scene was short-lived.

The fierce suction force sucked him into the door at lightning speed, and then the two door panels closed with a "clang".

This time, he barely reacted and took a look.

At the end of losing consciousness, he decided to try harder next time.
