Chapter 224: Night Parade of One Hundred Demons, Moonless Night (Part )
"So, what does moonless night mean?" Lu Shiyuan looked up at the huge moon and asked.

"Well, you'll know later." Hu Zhaigong chuckled and was mysterious and refused to say more.

Lu Shiyuan's curiosity was indeed aroused, but he was not in a hurry. He first went back to where Xiao Yaye was and told her that there would be a banquet later, which immediately made the child very excited.

Then, Lu Shiyuan told the little girl the method that Huzhai Palace had told him about how eating would not affect one's practice. Yae Shenzi had a high level of comprehension and quickly understood this method.

Then, Lu Shiyuan took her by the hand and came to the Huzhai Palace.

At this time, the banquet had been completely set up, with exquisite food and wine covering the table, waiting for the guests to arrive.

As for the shrine maidens, they had all been sent down the mountain by Kitsusai-gū.

"Is it time for the 'Hyaku Monogatari Tournament' again?" Yae Kamiko blinked her cute big eyes, her tone full of anticipation and happiness.

"Yes, I remember the last time you participated, you were just a little fox, the youngest among the monsters present." In front of Yae Shinko, Kitsunayomiya was like a gentle elder. She smiled and said, "At that time, you relied on your clever words to make Yurakusai sweat on his forehead."

"They are just bragging too much." The little girl protested slightly.

Lu Shiyuan touched Yae Shinko's little head, looked at Kitsai Palace, and asked curiously, "What is the Hundred Tale Tournament?"

"It's just monsters gathering together to tell stories." Kitsaigong said with a smile, "Some stories are true, some are false, and some are half true and half false. But they are all very interesting stories."

"I see." Lu Shiyuan nodded in understanding.

"Well, seeing is believing. I'll show you later." Hu Zhaigong shook his pipe. "According to the time, 'they' should be here soon."

Before the fox-eared girl finished her words, Lu Shiyuan noticed some noises coming from the surrounding cliffs, and a gust of wind suddenly blew in the sky.

Then they saw a huge demon with a terrifying aura striding towards them on the wind and clouds. Around the cliff, groups of monsters climbed to the top of the mountain nimbly, shouting meaningless words. Some of them had green faces and fangs, and prominent heads and horns, some only had ears and tails, and the rest were all the same as humans.

Without exception, they all had an undisguised demonic aura and were obviously not ordinary monsters.

At this moment, the monsters gathered on Yingxiang Mountain, their demonic auras intertwined and soared into the sky. No wonder the Fox Palace asked the priestesses to leave quickly. If they were allowed to stay here, they might be frightened to death.

Of course, although the demonic energy here has become much stronger, it has almost no effect on Lu Shiyuan.

Soon, all the monsters gathered around Kitsai Palace, and they looked at him with respect.

This girl with golden eyes and fox ears is the real leader of all monsters.

Standing next to Hu Zhaigong, in addition to Lu Shiyuan and Yajō Shenzi, there were also several great demons with extremely powerful demonic aura. It was evident that their status in the demon clan was also extremely respected.

Among them was a white-haired old man who had almost no characteristics of a demon. He had an elegant appearance, squinty eyes, a goatee, and was wearing a kimono. He did not look like a demon but rather an elegant scholar.

The monster dressed like this left a deep impression on Lu Shiyuan, but he didn't pay much attention to the other big monsters.

The white-haired old man looked around and said with a smile, "Saigong, it seems that several people are late."

"There's a reason for this. Recently, the strange hounds in Inazuma have appeared more and more frequently. Midori and Chiyo have to lead the army and the tribe to kill monsters, so they can't attend this gathering." Kitsunayomi took a puff of cigarette, exhaled a line of smoke, and said with a smile, "So, there's only one person we need to wait for. Hmm, it's here."

The fox-eared girl pointed her pipe toward the mountain road.

The monsters looked in the direction of the pipe and wondered in their hearts who was so tasteless as to take the mountain road to go up the mountain.

Soon, a series of dull footsteps sounded. As the footsteps approached, a big, fat raccoon cat that was more than two meters tall came up the mountain path, panting. As it walked, it shouted out of breath, "Stinky... stinky fox! Why do we have to hold the Hyakumonogatari Conference on such a high mountain every time? It's really exhausting!"

Kitsuzaigong covered his mouth and chuckled, teasing: "Gobaizang, you've gained weight again. This trip will help you lose weight!"

"You're talking nonsense! How am I fat? This is not called fat, we are strong!" The big demon raccoon Gobazo became emotional and retorted loudly!
Kitsusaigong walked up and patted Gohyukang's belly.

Suddenly, a circle of water-like waves spread on Gobazo's belly.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing such an interesting scene, the group of monsters suddenly burst into laughter like a tide!

"Pfft—Brother Gobazo's belly is so funny!" Little Yae Shinko, who had secretly climbed onto Lu Shiyuan's shoulder at some point, also saw this scene and couldn't help laughing out loud.

"What are you laughing at?" Gobazo glared, and a human-like shame and anger appeared on his hairy face. "How can you guys comment on my figure?"

Hearing this, the laughter among the monsters gradually died down.

Although he was reluctant to admit it, this seemingly naive fellow had an incredibly high seniority among the monster clan, and his strength was not weak either, second only to big monsters like Kitsuzhaigu and Yourakushai.

After hearing the noises from the monster group gradually died down, Gobazo nodded with satisfaction and strode behind Kitsaigong.

"It seems that all the demons have arrived." Kitsaigong looked around and nodded with satisfaction, "Then, let's go and pay homage to Ming Shen."

"Worship Ming Shen?" Lu Shiyuan was slightly stunned. Before he could understand the meaning of the words, he saw the monsters following Hu Zhaigong to the front of the temple and facing the statue of Ming Shen.

As the bell in front of the temple rang in the Fox Palace, all the demons bowed to the statue at the same time.

After bowing twice in succession, they clapped their hands, recited something silently in their hearts, and bowed again.

After doing all this, the worship ceremony is officially over.

Lu Shiyuan held the Eightfold Son of God and looked at the scene with some surprise, but soon he figured it out.

Kitsusai-gū summoned the great demons to gather at the Mingjin Taisha Shrine, not to abuse his power, but to allow the demons to worship the Thunder God and demonstrate the demon clan's respect for the Thunder General.

This is a statement made by the demon clan. Paying homage to the Thunder God also means that the Thunder God will protect the demon clan in Inazuma. Only if they are all descendants of General Thunder can the demon clan and humans live in harmony.

As for drinking and storytelling, it was just a side thing... probably.
