Chapter 1232 Smile

The light emanating from the Tailed Beast Spirits on the stone platform gradually dimmed, seemingly affected by the aftershocks of the battle. Just then, a strange fluctuation arose, and the previously tranquil Tailed Beast Spirits began to stir. Shangguan Mo forced himself to stand up, watching them warily.

Suddenly, a tailed beast spirit broke free of its restraints and charged towards Shangguan Mo and the others. Starfall Scorpion instantly stepped in front of Shangguan Mo, preparing to fight again. But just then, the tailed beast spirit stopped in front of them, emitting a soft, low growl.

Immediately afterwards, more tailed beast spirits broke free of their restraints and surrounded them, but none of them attacked; instead, they seemed to be expressing some kind of friendliness. Shangguan Mo and Xingyun Xuanxie exchanged a glance, both seeing confusion in each other's eyes.

It turned out that during the recent battle, Shangguan Mo's power to purify the black flames had instilled a sense of purity and justice in the Tailed Beast Spirits, who then decided to follow him and fight against evil together. Looking at these Tailed Beast Spirits, Shangguan Mo felt a surge of responsibility; he knew a new journey was about to begin. He took a deep breath and slowly extended his hand. One of the Tailed Beast Spirits cautiously approached and gently nuzzled his palm. Shangguan Mo smiled warmly and said, "Since you trust me, I will certainly not betray that trust."

Just then, a low roar echoed from afar, and an evil aura swept over them. It turned out that the evil forces had sensed the unusual activity of the Tailed Beast Spirits and had sent even stronger subordinates to reclaim them. Shangguan Mo's eyes sharpened, and he turned to the Starfall Scorpion and the Tailed Beast Spirits, saying, "The battle has begun! Everyone, attack together!"

The Tailed Beast Spirits roared with fervor, charging towards the enemy alongside Starfall Scorpion. Shangguan Mo channeled his purification power to support his teammates. In the fierce battle, the Tailed Beast Spirits unleashed their immense power, coordinating seamlessly with Starfall Scorpion. Shangguan Mo seized the opportunity, releasing powerful purifying black flames that enveloped the enemy. Ultimately, they successfully repelled the enemy. This victory strengthened Shangguan Mo's belief that, together with the Tailed Beast Spirits, they could fight evil and protect this land. However, the joy of victory was short-lived. An even more powerful and unfamiliar evil aura spread from the ground, causing the earth to tremble violently. A gigantic black shadow burst forth from the ground—a super monster secretly nurtured by evil forces. It radiated a chilling black light, and every step it took caused the earth to tremble.

The Tailed Beast Spirits roared again, but their attacks seemed powerless against this unprecedentedly powerful enemy. Even the Meteorite Scorpion was knocked back by a single swing from the monster. Shangguan Mo was frantic; he knew he couldn't rely solely on the Purifying Black Flame this time. He concentrated, guiding the power of the Tailed Beast Spirits to merge with his own purification power. In an instant, an even more powerful purifying light erupted, rushing straight towards the super monster. The monster roared in agony within the purifying light, its body gradually being purified. Finally, the monster dissipated into a wisp of black smoke. This hard-won victory made everyone understand that the road ahead was long, and the evil forces wouldn't give up easily, but as long as they united, no difficulty was insurmountable.

Thus began a four-year period of peace for Konoha, during which every Konoha ninja wore a smile.
