I'm a demon in Tokyo!

Chapter 361 Che's reply: So arrogant, who will destroy him? Mastery of the Lin Word Technique has exceeded 20%!

The civil official who was standing with his head down couldn't help but raise his eyes when he heard this, and caught a glimpse of the thin, yellowed paper in the corner of his eye.

He naturally began to have doubts.

What can you do with this thin piece of paper?
Why send it over, lord? What's the point?

Does this person think they are living in an era decades or centuries ago, where a single document from the Emperor or the Shogun is all it takes?

and many more.

The civil official raised his gaze slightly and saw the crimson scabbard at the man's waist.

He remembered very clearly that this was one of the characteristics of the "Great Onmyoji Che" that the servants had been talking about!
Instinctively, he felt a cold sweat break out on his back and suddenly raised his head.

Then, I was stunned.

"Good morning."

Uesugi Tetsu felt the gaze and greeted him with a smile.

Is this "Che"?
The civil official blinked, gazing at the warm, sunny face. The cold sweat that had just broken out on him vanished instantly.

Wasn't it rumored that Che was a terrifying demon with a blue face and fangs, whose arms were thicker than a normal person's waist, and who would go berserk and kill people if he didn't eat 300 jin of flesh and blood every day?
At this moment, the civil official felt an urge to find and beat up the servants who had been gossiping about the Great Yin-Yang Master Che at his door yesterday and who had demonized him so drastically.

Uesugi Tetsu wondered why this guy's whole demeanor had become so sunny and relaxed after he had only said hello.

Could it be that people in the Warring States period also had this taste...?

He took a half-step back without leaving a trace.

Having decided not to speak further with the civil servant, Uesugi Tetsuya addressed Imagawa Yoshimoto, who had taken the paper, saying, "This is on..."

He didn't deliberately confine his words to a single line, speaking only to Imagawa Yoshimoto.
"This is the list of all the people who wrote to us to express their condolences."

Seeing Imagawa Yoshimoto's slightly surprised expression, Uesugi Tetsuya smiled and repeated,
"all."

He glanced at the stack of letters, not even bothering to look at them: "If they want to test us, then we'll give them a warning, let these hyenas know what they should and shouldn't do."

After a pause, Uesugi Tetsuya didn't rule out the possibility of a definitive answer, but instead turned to Imagawa Yoshimoto and asked,

"Lord Yiyuan, what do you think?"

"That's fine with me."

Imagawa Yoshimoto smiled again. She rarely smiled since she fell ill, but she smiled much more after Uesugi Tetsu came.

The civil official caught a glimpse of that smile, and quickly bowed his head to take the paper with both hands. In his mind, he cursed those who said Lord Yiyuan was seriously ill.

Judging from his rosy complexion, Lord Yoshimoto is clearly in good health!

Uesugi Tetsu added, "If anyone doesn't recognize this, I can have Karu provide more detailed information."

The civil official was thinking that "Che" was actually a pretty good person... Wait a minute, more details? What more details?
His gaze fell on the small piece of paper, and suddenly he froze.

This is on...

The civil official glanced at the pink-haired woman holding a black book behind Uesugi Tetsuya, and a crazy conjecture popped into his mind.

"You can't tell others how you got the information from above."

Uesugi Tetsuya stared intently at the civil official, reminding him, "If you accidentally say something, you'll... explode with a bang."

As he spoke, Uesugi Tetsuya slightly activated the curse of the Eye of Curse, causing the civil official to feel the expansion and tearing of star-like flesh.

"Don't dare! Don't dare!"

The civil official immediately knelt down, clutching the paper tightly: "Your Excellency Che! My lord! I will never reveal what I saw today."

Seeing his appearance, Imagawa Yoshimoto glanced at Uesugi Tetsu with a strange expression, then told the civil official to rise and gave him some insignificant instructions.

After the civil official had completely left, Imagawa Yoshimoto finally spoke: "Tetsu-kun, was what you just said to him true?"

"Of course it's true."

Uesugi Tetsu winked at her: "However, it really is only a part."

"Speaking of the curse will naturally trigger the curse, but telling others that you are cursed will not have any effect."

He shrugged and pointed to Karuto, who had a calm expression and was silent.
“If someone helps him break the curse, I will naturally sense it, and then I will have Karudo investigate and eliminate the opponent.”

Imagawa Yoshimoto glanced in the direction the civil official had left and asked, "Tetsu-kun, are you saying that Seiichi has a problem?"

“Absolutely not. I only met him for the first time today.” Uesugi Tetsu immediately shook his head. “He’s just a safety net, a casual move.”

Imagawa Yoshimoto was speechless for a moment, then slowly exhaled.
"It's been a long time, Che-jun, you've really changed a bit..."

She thought for a moment, then uttered a word.

"insidious."

"Thank you for the compliment, Lord Yoshimoto... but it is merely a matter of necessary caution."

Uesugi Tetsu pointed to a stack of letters: "There are too many Onmyoji watching the Imagawa family now, so we must take precautions."

After things calmed down for the time being, Uesugi Tetsu let Karuta move around freely in the Imagawa building, only needing to slightly blur his face.

After seeing Karuta leave the courtyard, Imagawa Yoshimoto said with a sigh, "The power of Onmyoji is so amazing, it's a pity I have no talent for it at all."

Uesugi Tetsu listened, originally wanting to say to Ririko, "You can go very far in breathing techniques and swordsmanship."

But before he could even speak, he realized Imagawa Yoshimoto's health problem.

Not knowing what to say, Uesugi Tetsu continued the topic he hadn't mentioned before: "Lord Yoshimoto, you should take some time to recuperate."

"Recuperation?"

Imagawa Yoshimoto replied familiarly, "The medicines are all useless..."

"As for that medicine before, it was only temporarily effective. It's better to save it for more important times and places than to use it on me."

Imagawa Yoshimoto suddenly felt a pair of warm hands gently pressing on his shoulders, and Uesugi Tetsu's voice reached his ears.

"It has nothing to do with medicine. I'm just personally helping you, Yiyuan Gong, to regulate your qi and blood... That being said, those quack doctors before should have been able to do the same thing."

"At least, it will ensure that you, Lord Yoshimoto, are full of energy every day."

"Thank you very much, Che-kun."

Upon hearing this, Imagawa Yoshimoto temporarily put down his brush and closed his eyes.

"Saying thank you would be too formal."

Uesugi Tetsuya took the ash from the calming incense, calmed his mind, and silently extracted a strand of his abundant vital energy from his body and poured it into Imagawa Yoshimoto's body.

Along with it came a tentative burst of spiritual energy and qi.

Once the spiritual energy entered, it was no different from air, flowing out unchanged.

The protective energy did have some effect.

In a short while, Uesugi Tetsuya had already formulated a recuperation plan.

— It invigorates blood and qi, nourishes vitality, and maintains vital energy.

All that's needed is to channel a hundred times more of your vital energy and blood through Imagawa Yoshimoto's limbs and bones, allowing her body to absorb the life force from that initial wisp of vital energy and blood, and then use subtle internal energy to maintain this state.

While this level of difficulty would be incomprehensible to the other samurai, it was not a problem for Uesugi Tetsuya, who had already achieved "Buddhahood".

Feeling Imagawa Yoshimoto's body relax and hearing his soft, suppressed breaths, Uesugi Tetsu knew that his recuperation plan was definitely working.

Then, after completing a full cycle, I can also study the [Soul Mark] I bought yesterday.

The reason the Soul Imprint's effect is currently "no" is because it is a substance that can be molded into anything, into any form. Before its energy is exhausted and its final "shaping" is completed, the Soul Imprint can be molded into any shape.

—That's what Sheng Hai said.

Theoretically speaking, as long as there is enough energy, Uesugi Tetsu could directly create a Soul Imprint: Calamity God.

But energy is certainly not enough.

The quality of this single trace of soul imprint is already legendary, extremely rare... Let's say it's worth 1000 units of energy.

To create a calamity god, one would need at least millions or tens of millions of units of energy, a pitiful amount that even Uesugi Tetsu couldn't produce.

Therefore, it is impossible for the future Imagawa Yoshimoto to directly awaken and gain the help of powerful allies.

However, it's still very useful as an auxiliary tool.

As long as this energy isn't directly transformed into a powerful physical entity, it remains quite durable.

Uesugi Tetsuya's idea was to create a "panel" for Imagawa Yoshimoto, add "intelligent AI," and then provide him with a large amount of intelligence reserves.

—The panel has readily available resources that can be used for reference, AI can replicate its own thinking as the underlying logic, and intelligence can be obtained in large quantities from the real world.

In this way, the energy consumption will be much smaller, and the usability of the cheat Imagawa Yoshimoto will be higher.

However, completing this cheat is a huge project; we'll have to take it slowly...

After treating Imagawa Yoshimoto for a total of fifteen minutes, Uesugi Tetsuya only had a general idea in his mind.

After feeling the burning sensation leave his body, Yoshimoto Imagawa could clearly feel his body, which had been feeling tired just from being awake, become much lighter.

Without saying much thanks, she simply said, "Che-jun, thank you for your help tomorrow too."

"It's nothing, Lord Yiyuan. Just call me anytime if you get tired."

Uesugi Tetsu glanced down at the large pile of documents beside him.

The Imagawa family's territory is now vast; even though it has shrunk considerably, it is still practically half the lord of the Tokaido region. Add to that the series of reactions caused by the return of this great Onmyoji…

This resulted in Imagawa Yoshimoto having an overwhelming amount of work to do.

He didn't disturb Imagawa Yoshimoto any further, but instead sat down on an open space to the side and carefully felt the speed of his training in the Spirit Control Technique.

Hmm... It's much faster than before the Warring States period, but it's still nothing compared to the present world.

Based on estimates, it's about one-sixth the efficiency of the current world?
Fortunately, the huge time difference between the two sides is there. Even if you slowly absorb low-quality spiritual energy in the Warring States period, it will eventually be faster than returning to the present world to cultivate.

As for swordsmanship and breathing techniques, they are no different from those practiced in the modern world.

Thinking about it that way, these two are still more cost-effective.

"I'm about a thousand points away from breaking through in Spirit Control Technique, and I need five or six hundred points in Five Thunder Law. I should get those two first... Oh right, and there's also the Lin Word Technique."

Uesugi Tetsuya's mind raced, and he had his answer.

You have to eat your food one bite at a time.

……

The next day.

In a dark room, candlelight flickered.

It illuminated the faces shrouded in shadow.

The large round table was surrounded by many people, but at this moment they were all holding a thin piece of paper in their hands, and only occasionally did someone speak.

After confirming the names with the people around you, then gather them together one by one.

Soon, the list was complete.

Everyone present, and others who were not present, were on this compiled list.

Silence fell in the dark room.

Only when the red candle in the center of the round table was about to burn out did someone crumple the paper into a ball and slam their fist heavily on the table.

boom!
Immediately, a sinister, hoarse voice rang out: "Everyone, you've all seen Che's reply... He's so arrogant and conceited, are we just going to let him continue like this?"

The voice instigated menacingly: "If a nobody with no background can wipe out Hozuki and his gang of trash in a quarter of an hour, he can certainly wipe out us too!"

As soon as he finished speaking, all eyes in the surrounding darkness turned to him.

Someone spoke calmly.
"If it's a matter of striking first, then you can go."

"We can provide emotional support and assistance."

"Or you could lure Na Che here, and we could consider making a move."

The man stopped talking.

In the darkness, someone scoffed disdainfully: "Don't treat everyone else like fools, the Ishikawa family's idiots."

"There was a reason why Tetsu wiped out the Hozuki family."

On the other side, a voice calmly analyzed: "Among everyone here, has anyone directly provoked the Imagawa family, Imagawa Yoshimoto? I don't think there's anyone that stupid."

"Therefore, we don't need to provoke someone who is truly capable of wiping out the Hozuki family and even the sealed great demon within an hour at most..."

Not only is he proficient in thunder magic, but he is also at least knowledgeable in astronomy and the Yin-Yang arts, making him a great Yin-Yang master.

"It's not too late to make a decision when he actually targets our people and reaches out to us."

The man asked calmly,
"What do you think?"

Soon, many voices of agreement came from the darkness.

"pass."

"Seconded."

"Seconded."

"..."

"Since it has been unanimously approved, then our [Ancient Clan Alliance] will temporarily adopt a wait-and-see approach towards the Imagawa family and Tetsu."

……

Three days later.

The shrine to the two-foot-tall man has been deployed to cities and villages with great efficiency under the orders of Imagawa Yoshimoto, and has now covered at least most of the urban and rural areas of Suruga.

Under the "kind" advice of the samurai, many villagers have begun to worship the Two-Foot God with some skepticism, and have brought incense that is rich in impurities.

This left the newly appointed, novice deity, Erchi Daren, in a state of utter chaos and confusion.

Let alone using the shrine to wander around, she was already struggling to purify and consume the incense she consumed each day, let alone perform miracles or notice the various strange prayers of the believers.

This is a good thing.

Outside, Uesugi Tetsu sighed with relief. Finally, this homebody girl, who either plays games in the Jizo statue or comes out to play with him all day, could do something productive.

Uesugi Tetsu turned his gaze to the panel in front of him.

—The Five Thunder Technique will be mastered by tomorrow, allowing you to break through to the expert level and become the second expert-level Yin-Yang Technique user!

As for the "Lin" technique, it has just been successfully mastered to a level of 20%!

[Your mastery of the "Lin" technique has reached 20%! You have entered the third stage!]
