Starting with rogue ninjas, building the insect kingdom.

Chapter 371 Please Take In Our Orphanage and Widow

His gaze shifted from the beetle bus to a more distant view.

He focused his mental energy, dealt with all the large insects that had been dispersed, and instantly constructed a map in his mind.

The routes of those beetle buses covered almost the entire Land of Demons, and even extended to the borders of the Land of Demons.

With such a grand and ostentatious event, coupled with that dark-skinned fellow spreading the word everywhere, the Land of Waterfall has probably already attracted the attention of various forces.

Over the years, countless spies have infiltrated the caravans that have passed through.

Yu Nu Zhicheng gently shook his head, clearing his mind of distracting thoughts.

The royal palace of the Demon Kingdom has long been rebuilt and is located in the middle of a lake. The architectural style is similar to the past, but also different. The aura of Yin-attribute spirit summoning magic remains everywhere.

Aburame Shisei hadn't noticed anything before, but now that his mental strength had greatly increased, he could distinguish it clearly.

When he entered the palace hall, the witch was already waiting there.

She sat in a high-backed chair, with a little girl of three or four years old standing next to her.

The witch's face was still beautiful, but she looked much more haggard than she had a few years ago.

The fine lines around her eyes have increased, and her gaze has softened, replaced by a maternal tenderness.

"My lord." The witch stood up and bowed slightly.

Her movements were somewhat labored. Yu Nu Zhicheng's gaze lingered on her face for a moment before settling on his stomach.

"You're pregnant again."

"Hmm." The witch smiled slightly and stroked her belly.

Actually, their witches have a very strange lineage. Their first child will only be a daughter, and afterwards, no matter how many men they sleep with, they will not get pregnant.

She thought she would be the same way, but she didn't expect to get pregnant again. Perhaps this was the punishment for being too indulgent towards her.

"Indeed, but this baby should be a boy."

The little girl hid behind her mother, looking timidly at Aburame Shisei, her big, round eyes filled with a mixture of curiosity and fear.

Aburame Shisei didn't say anything, he just nodded slightly.

The witch handed the little girl behind her to a maid beside her, took a deep breath, and her expression became serious.

"My lord, I have been waiting for you for many years because I have a favor to ask."

"My ability to foresee death is constantly weakening."

The witch's voice was tinged with bitterness. "A few years ago, I could still vaguely see fragments of the future, and I could see where the shadow of death was gathering. But in the last two years, I can see less and less."

"I once thought that my daughter would inherit my abilities, and that the destiny of our witch lineage would continue. But..."

She looked up at Yu Nu Zhicheng, her gratitude mixed with some other complex emotions.

"It seems that fate has been broken. My eldest daughter is four years old. Apart from being slightly more sensitive than other children, she has no ability to foresee death."

"I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing, but in a sense, our lineage of witches may end with me."

Aburame Shisei was silent for a moment, then said, "You're afraid."

The witch paused for a moment, then gave a wry smile: "Yes, I am afraid. Not afraid of losing my power, but afraid of losing my worth."

If the Land of Demons were to lose the power of the witches, would it still be considered the Land of Demons?

In addition, the previous year, the neighboring Bear Kingdom began a large-scale expansion, and many surrounding countries were annexed. Their country was also greatly troubled, but later, for some unknown reason, the annexation suddenly stopped.

After making inquiries from various sources, she vaguely sensed that the reason for the halt might be related to the adult in front of her.

The reason why their Demon Kingdom has been able to exist so peacefully for the past few centuries is not only due to the power of witches, but also because of their fear of demons, monsters, myths, and evil spirits.

Now that fear is gone, the witch has lost her ability to protect herself, and coupled with her prophetic abilities, somehow, her prophecy has been confirmed by the outside world.

The Land of Wind wanted their information, the Land of Earth wanted their prophecies, and the Land of Fire wanted their summoning abilities. She felt like she was about to become the next Land of Whirlpools.

Her thoughts swirled in her mind until Aburame Shisei's gaze pulled her back once more.

"A few years ago, I did foresee some things. I saw that the world would change drastically, the old order would be broken, and new forces would rise. I didn't see you, sir, but I saw other things."

She rose and knelt before Aburame Shisei, "My lord, the Land of Demons requests to join your ranks. We do not wish to be left behind by the times; we wish to seize this opportunity."

"Please, please have pity on us, a widow and her child."

The witch from the land of demons raised her face, her eyes as clear as water, so delicate that she seemed as if she could be pushed over at any moment.

In reality, Aburame Shisei's spiritual power sensed that the pure purifying power within her body was suppressing many demons and monsters.

In terms of actual combat strength, even if the Kazekage were to arrive, he would likely be at a disadvantage.

Sure enough, without the demons, they started raising other monsters and ghosts. Humans are such strange creatures.

"Okay." It won't hurt to do a quick search. After all, it's just a name; in the end, they're the ones who rule the Land of Demons.

The witch looked up, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.

"But where did you find this new necromancy? Could you teach me how to use it?"

……

A few days later, Aburame Shisei stretched out his hand, and a thick scroll appeared in his palm. "I have something for you."

The witch took the scroll, unrolled it, and saw that it was densely covered with various summoning rituals and soul rituals, as well as techniques for using with demons and monsters, including Yin-Yang and Soul Escape Techniques. The title boldly proclaimed—"The Complete Guide to Summoning Demons and Monsters."

"This is……"

"The incomplete psychic arts you taught me a few days ago, the psychic arts of your Ghost Kingdom, can communicate with demons and monsters, and can communicate with the underworld."

But most rituals are too rudimentary, and the things that are conjured up are mostly uncontrollable, so your witch lineage has never dared to delve deeper. I think besides you, there shouldn't be any other masters in the Land of Demons, right?

"I've reorganized your basic summoning techniques, adding summoning circles, contract runes, and binding seals. By following the methods in this book, you can summon anything that isn't too far beyond your capabilities."

The witch flipped through the scrolls, growing increasingly horrified. This wasn't just organizing; it was practically a reinvention of a psychic art.

Those summoning methods far exceeded the depth of research conducted by the witches of the Demon Kingdom throughout history.

Most importantly, the witchcraft tradition has been established!

Although it does not include the Five Elements Escape Techniques, it starts from the basics of spirit communication and sealing techniques.
