Help! I changed the gender of the male protagonist in the yandere game.

Chapter 170 Yinqiezhidan
The only two powerful men who survived the human-demon turmoil were the "Sword Saint" Kibune Kyōunsai and the "Fist Saint" Utsuro Kyoryu who came from the Kurama Temple lineage.

He is also the founder of Kuramadera Temple's Soryu school. It is said that Utsuro Kyoryu studied under the Tengu clan and learned the secret method of reincarnation and immortality, which enabled Utsuro Kyoryu to reincarnate repeatedly. This is completely different from Kibune Kyōunsai who relied on the longevity of the pure-blooded Ainu people to live for more than a hundred years.

The purpose of the Kong-ryu boxing is "the fist can open the sky, split the earth, and split the sea; there is no mind and no law", "the sky should be the hand, and the hand should be the sky"... These are not empty talk. The boxing masters of the Kurama Temple Kong-ryu lineage in all generations have the power to collapse the sky and split the earth.

Furthermore, the martial masters of these monasteries were a force that consistently supported the imperial court. Even the renowned exorcists and powerful families from all over the land were terrified of them.

There are several disciples who inherited Kurama Temple's Sora-ryu Kendo, which has led to the development of several schools, and Kurama Temple Demon-ryu is one of them.

In addition, the so-called "Demon King" should refer to the guardian Demon King, one of the three main deities enshrined in Kurama Temple.

For generations, Kurama Temple has believed in the three main deities, namely, Thousand-Armed Avalokitesvara, Bishamonten, and the Dharma Protector Mawangzon. Utsuro Kyoryu was inspired by Mawangzon in a dream and created Mawang-ryu from the original Kong-ryu.

Zenzo is the successor of this school, and his senior brother, Masho Yue Sanhai, practices another school founded by Kyoryu, the Kuramaji Senju-ryu.

However, according to Zenzo himself, he became deaf as a child, and it seems that he had suffered from the disease since he was a fetus, and it could not be cured even after he grew up.

Fortunately, his other sensory abilities were very sharp, so practicing boxing techniques didn't have much of an impact on him. A demon exorcist with powerful spiritual power could grasp the movements around him by using the wavelength of his spiritual power, even if he couldn't see or hear.

However, Shanzang is deaf and always has some inconveniences in life. If he cannot meet the other person face to face, cannot judge what the other person is saying by lip reading, or cannot communicate through sign language, he will not be able to communicate with others.

"I didn't really intend to attack you two. It's just that during my previous journey, I encountered pursuers who attacked me. Out of caution, I had no choice but to strike first."

Zenzo claimed that he had been hunted by a powerful enemy of a hostile force in recent times. In order to seek refuge and to investigate something, Zenzo, one of the Twelve Guardians of the Saints, ran to the Tsugaru Peninsula.

"Pursuers?"

Renjo Senjuro was quite surprised.

"It's hard for me to imagine who would dare to hunt down the Twelve Holy Guardians of the Imperial Court, let alone the disciple of the Fist Saint."

"…It's the Hidden Kirishidan."

Zenzo spoke calmly.

"what?"

Not only Lian Zhang, but even Bai Jie was shocked.

The Hidden Cross is a Christian sect that was formed under the rule of the Japanese government. Because the island nation's imperial court prohibited religious missions and executed 26 devout believers in Nagasaki after the St. Philip Incident, Christians throughout the island nation were either forced to convert or hide their faith, becoming underground believers.

Zenzo admitted that he had received an important task recently, which was to investigate a hidden Kirishitan group called the "Twenty-Six Holy Knights" in the Kyushu region. Because it might involve the forces of other countries, even he, as one of the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land, had to act with caution.

"Is it really the Hidden Kirishidan?"

Lian Zhang smoked his pipe, exhaling light purple smoke.

"The court has a good relationship with the Protestants in the New World of North America. After all, there are close trade exchanges between the two sides, and we also have a long-standing relationship with the merchants of Alanta. Thanks to them, I also do business in this area. However, the court has always had some grudges with the Cross people in Europe... Could it be that there are external forces fanning the flames?"

"There is no definitive evidence yet, so I am also conducting a secret investigation."

Shanzang said solemnly, "After all, this is a matter that could potentially cause conflict with other nations, so it requires a careful investigation. I didn't even contact the other Twelve Guardians of the Saints, and I'm all alone at sea, hiding from pursuers."

"So... Master Zenzo came here by sea?"

Baijie pressed the issue. "I've also heard about Kotankoro Kamui's invasion of the south. Traveling overland is definitely not feasible. I came all the way here by ship, encountering pirates and pursuers along the way. In the end, the ship sank, forcing me to go ashore."

Shanzang simply described the difficulties and obstacles along the way in just a few words.

Baijie began to recall the relevant plot. To be honest, since the original work did not mention Master Zenzo among the Twelve Warriors, the relevant information was very scarce. However, there was information related to the "Twenty-Six Holy Knights".

"Let me think about it. The Twenty-Six Holy Knights? It's said they're a group that uses the cross as a pretext to engage in Satan worship. They were planning an uprising on Kyushu Island, and when they failed, they nearly detonated Mount Aso..."

This is mentioned in the "Fall of Kyoto" chapter of the main storyline. The plot is roughly about the remnants of the "Eight Fortunes Society" and the five demon kings launching an offensive against the capital, but apart from the protagonists, there are few people who can be of use.

The reason is that Mount Aso on Kyushu Island almost erupted. Because of this troublesome incident, most of the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land ran to Kyushu for support, resulting in almost all the high-level combat forces guarding Kyoto running away, and the protagonist had to rely on himself to turn the tide.

This section can almost be said to be the climax of the game, but during this period, the protagonist Yamei's sworn brother Kukutsu Ikki died in battle, and several of his companions also died, such as Matsudaira Inomaro, who also died in this battle.

"'The Fall of Kyoto' is a difficult hurdle... Unless we are fully prepared, mid-game casualties in the protagonist group are inevitable."

Baijie didn't want this to happen. When he heard Zenzo mention that he was investigating the information of the "Twenty-Six Holy Knights", he immediately suspected that the "Fall of Kyoto" chapter would be triggered because of this.

"Then, Master Shanzang deliberately came to Yuejialuo's old territory...what was his purpose?"

Lian Zhang asked this question again.

"I can't say... about this."

Zenzo bowed his head and apologized again.

"I came here because of a request from Senior Brother Sanhai. As for the details, it is a private matter and it is difficult for me to share them with you."

Lian Zhang and Bai Jie looked at each other, and both felt that this Shan Zang was weird, which made these two smart people feel wary from the bottom of their hearts.

However, the other party's strength is extraordinary, and he is one of the Twelve Holy Guardians of the imperial court. Although he has doubts about this monk, he cannot act rashly.

"Master Shanzang."

Baijie smiled and suggested: "I have a suggestion. Can you please join us?"

He explained the origins of his group, including the story of the evil god Kotankoro Kamui and information about the old territory.

"We, including the young master of the Yuejialuo clan, plan to conduct an investigation in the old territory. We would like to ask Master Shanzang to help us."

"Being able to meet here, there must be some affinity between me and you."

Shanzang clasped his hands together.

"Since you two have made such a kind invitation, I have no reason to refuse."

——This is not worthy of doubt. There would be something fishy if there were no problem.

Bai Jie sighed in his heart. Although he didn't know what this monk was up to, he knew that he had no intentions to hide.
