Chapter 119 The Night Crying God
Hearing the fox girl's words, Yu Jiao laughed instead of getting angry.

"Little girl, you're just a prisoner. How can you say such arrogant things?"

She snorted coldly: "Could it be that you, imprisoned and bound here, still have any way to reverse the situation?"

As Yu Jiao spoke, the thorns binding the fox girl began to stir, like living creatures. These thorns were generated by demonic energy. They entwined themselves around her body, tearing at her slender frame.

As if looking for a way to invade, the thorns entangled the half-demon's body, wriggling back and forth all over her body, stroking her hair, and caressing her cheeks. Those poisonous needle-like thorns could penetrate deeply into her body and could drill deeper at any time to destroy her body.

"No, I have no such intention."

The fox girl Ziyuexun replied indifferently: "If everything falls into your hands, then I won't have such a daydream. However, both the Kurohimeyama clan and the Mutsu Kingdom will be completely destroyed——"

"why?"

Baijie frowned when he heard her words, and an ominous premonition climbed up his spine.

The fox girl Zi Yuexun didn't stop talking either, and there was still a mocking smile on her face.

"Old man, you've been comfortable for so long that you've lost your sense of crisis."

This time, even Yujiao frowned.

"What do you want to say?"

"There's nothing to hide," Zi Yuexun said with a cold smile. "In Yuejialuo's territory, the 'Night Crying God' from the northern Ezo lands is awakening from its slumber. It has traveled a long way to the northern tip of Mutsu and occupied Yuejialuo's spiritual veins. It has remained inactive only to accumulate its own strength."

"W-what did you say?"

Ye Ming made a shocked sound. It was a matter concerning her old territory, and she cared about it more than anyone else.

"The Night Crying God, originally worshipped by the Ainu people, was said to be a gentle guardian deity. However, he has now fallen from his throne and transformed into a demon king-level demon in the form of a horned owl, the most vicious monster of all."

There was a hint of pride in the fox girl's words.

"It was injured during the siege a few years ago. However, after years of recuperation and absorbing the spiritual veins occupied by the Yuejialuo clan, its past injuries have completely recovered. It is now gathering its own army and is ready to attack south at any time."

Her smile at that moment made everyone who saw her feel a chill down their spine.

"Exorcists will be its best food. Villages and cities will be razed to the ground by its army of night owls. Needless to say, it will not let go of the fertile spiritual veins occupied by the Kurohime clan. Devouring the dragon energy within the earth veins will make it even more powerful than before."

"I can conclude that neither you, nor the Kurohime clan, nor the people of Mutsu… will be able to escape this disaster. Everything in that land will be devoured by the Night-Crying God."

"Bullshit."

Kurohimeyama Mikado said this, his face turning pale.

"No,"

The face of Jue Yao who was standing next to her also changed color.

"Master Yujiao... Oh no, what she said is true. She didn't lie. These are indeed the 'facts' she thought in her heart—"

The answer of this awakening demon also made Ye Ming and Bai Jie nervous.

"You guys don't have much time left."

The fox girl Ziyuexun continued, "It won't be long before the Night Crying God descends upon the territory of the Heijishan clan. This will be your doom. You fellows will not be able to escape this disaster and will only embark on a path of no return."

She cursed and looked at everyone with eyes full of mockery.

"I don't know."

Baijie felt something was wrong, and he quickly asked his own question: "If you really had foreseen all this, or if the Eight Blessings Society had this information, why did you come to the Kurohimeyama clan?"

He asked in a deep voice, "Since the Heijishan clan is about to be destroyed, what is your intention in disguising yourself as the young master of the Ziyue family and marrying the head of the family, Yuxing?"

"Haha." The fox girl laughed.

"I definitely have my own goals, but I can't possibly tell you about this, right?"

Suddenly, her voice was interrupted, and from under her skin, a strange pattern of light formed.

The thorns were bounced away by the light, and a force invisible to the naked eye wrapped around the fox girl's body, resisting external damage.

"not good!"

Yujiao realized something was wrong. She waved her hand and was about to do something, but the fox girl's whole body turned into stone.

"Petrification Curse!?"

Jue Yao also widened his eyes.

"It seems to be the case."

Yu Jiao clicked her tongue, and her expression looked a little distressed.

"Someone has placed a special curse on this fox girl's body. If she leaks any information, she will be petrified and turned into stone."

She regretted very much that she did not carefully investigate the fox girl's body.

“No, rather, this curse is more subtle than I imagined. Even with my power, I can’t fully investigate it…”

At this moment, Yu Jiao keenly realized that the person who cast this curse was more powerful than any person he knew who was proficient in spells, and even his granddaughter Ge Hua was far inferior to him.

As for the Society of Eight Blessings, it is indeed very likely that there are such powerful characters, such as the eight "Gods of Fortune".

"I am sorry."

Jue Yao said, "If I had been able to read her intentions earlier, I wouldn't have missed out on so much information."

"Forget it, this petrification curse might just be a pre-designed curse."

Yujiao explained helplessly: "As long as she says something, it may be activated instantly, and we will not have time to break the curse."

"Is there no way to forcibly break the curse?"

Baijie also asked.

"It's not easy to break the curse. It's a very high-level curse."

Yujiao shook his head.

"I'm not good at this kind of spell... Ge Hua might have a way, but I don't think she can break this petrification curse in such a short time."

“It becomes a hassle.”

Baijie sighed deeply, as if he was about to expel all the air from his lungs. "I originally thought that if I caught this guy, I would be able to make the head of the family, Miyuki, stop his actions. Now it seems that things are not that simple."

"It's not that troublesome."

Yujiao chuckled and continued, "It's not that I haven't prepared. I've recorded everything the fox girl said just now with my shikigami. This alone is enough evidence to make the six major branches no longer support Yuki."

She lowered her voice and said, "Next, I will rush back to the clan and impeach Miyuki. This child has committed a serious crime this time, and no one in the clan will associate with her anymore. However, Miyuki still has a group of loyal retainers and subordinates, which is also a problem. Therefore, we cannot make a big move on this matter."

She coughed lightly. "Also, regarding the Night Crying God, that Ainu 'Fallen Angel', the fox girl must have been telling the truth."

Jue Yao also nodded.

"This is a dangerous signal, we can't take it lightly..." Heijishan Yujiao muttered to himself: "If this demon king-level existence really sets its sights on the spiritual vein occupied by the family, it will indeed become a catastrophic disaster for our Heijishan family."
