Inside the Ghost Capital.
Above a collapsed palace, a woman wearing a glamorous white feathered garment hovers in mid-air. She dons an unusual fox face mask, with nine white fox tails extending behind her. A clear wound marks her abdomen, from which thin traces of blood slowly seep, as if it has been torn by something.
"Black Seimei! How dare you betray me!" The Nine-tailed Fox's voice is cold, filled with extreme hatred, and she speaks slowly: "Don't forget who helped you transform, who helped you break free from Abe no Seimei's body!"
"Heh." A man wearing a black yin-yang robe identical to Abe no Seimei's walked out, looking at the Nine-tailed Fox before him with a playful expression: "Of course, I won't forget."
"I was originally just a malicious thought in Abe no Seimei's heart, an obstacle he had to remove to become a celestial or a Buddha."
"You helped me transform into a demon, freeing me from the constraints of his body."
