Her short, bright red hair was neat and tidy, and her crimson eyes were cunning and unruly. Her fair wrists, which looked like they could be easily broken, were wrapped with grotesque chains that seemed somewhat out of place with her overall image.

Without a doubt, the clanging of chains that had previously sprung from the shadows, and the sight of corpses scattered everywhere, were his handiwork.

"It's been a long time, my Onmyoji."

He stopped a few meters in front of Huang, bowed slightly, and placed his right hand lightly on his chest as he spoke. This was probably a greeting etiquette among some nobles.

"If you want to find me, why don't you just summon me? Why bother setting foot in this filthy and unclean place?"

"Oh, but since you've already come, then consider this my gift to you."

As he spoke, he straightened up.

At the same time, as Yu Zhi exerted force with his wrist, the chains that had been quiet for a moment burst forth with a crisp sound in the void again, and several huge black shadows crashed down in front of Huang like cannonballs.

The dark figures that stirred up a cloud of dust were none other than the ghosts who had fled first!

Kidomaru actually slaughtered all the evil spirits that had gathered there.

A born demon

Kamo no Tadashi's assessment of his former student was absolutely accurate.

"I'm here to make a deal with you."

Without paying too much attention to the mountains of corpses and seas of blood around him, he directly confronted the newcomer.

"Hey, a deal?"

"What deal?"

"It seems that the deal we can make was already agreed upon during our last meeting."

Upon hearing this, a meaningful and wicked smile immediately appeared on Kidomaru's lips.

He knew the saying, "One doesn't visit a temple without a reason," having lived in the human world for a long time.

Therefore, the wisest course of action is to clearly state your refusal beforehand, and then use that refusal to extort and gain more benefits during the transaction.

"Lend me the red string around your neck, and in exchange, I will unlock the seal on your heart."

As if oblivious to the wicked smile emanating from the former's cunning eyes, Huang continued negotiating with an unchanged expression.

Its own aura had been completely exposed to the gods of Takamagahara during the last great disturbance, making it impossible for it to easily set foot in that world.

Therefore, his solution was to use the scent of others to conceal his own presence.

After careful consideration, the most suitable candidate that Ara could think of was the Goddess of Fate who had temporarily left Takamagahara to travel among humans!

The other party has the aura of Takamagahara, and its personality is not like that of other gods who are aloof and unapproachable. It can even accept born demons as its believers. So it probably wouldn't mind having another pair of worshippers.

However, just to be on the safe side, Ara prioritized finding Kidomaru.

Surely that gentle god wouldn't be indifferent to believers falling into his hands?

The moment Huang's request was uttered, the latter's eyes involuntarily narrowed, and the surrounding atmosphere became obscure and dangerous.

This change was probably not even noticed by Kidomaru himself.

After all, the conditions and rewards offered by the other party were simply too good to pass up!

Once the seal on his heart can be broken, then Kyoto will no longer be a place he cannot set foot in!

Furthermore, he could even settle accounts with his long-lost teacher, Kamo, about the debt of exile he owed back then.

Most importantly, the red string around Yu's neck wasn't anything particularly important; it was just a token from a foolish god.

This cheap and common red string can be found everywhere.

As for the object of the exchange, the person involved would not suffer any loss whatsoever.

but,

Both reason and desire were clamoring for them to agree to the former's conditions, but they were forcibly suppressed by a strange emotion.

"This red string is really nothing valuable,"

"But, after all, these are relics left by my mother."

The somewhat subdued response came from Kidomaru's parted lips, and without a doubt, it was a rejection.

Moreover, judging from the dangerous aura he exuded, even an Onmyoji with whom he had a cooperative relationship would have to pay a price to forcibly seize this cheap red rope!

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Huang's eyes.

Kidomaru was born from the union of the Demon King Shura and a human woman.

Of course, realistically speaking, both the Asura Demon King and Kidomaru should have had some feelings for that human woman who didn't even leave behind a name.

In fact, the first meal the latter had after its birth was the flesh and blood of that human woman!

Unexpectedly, in order to protect the token that belonged to the God of Fate, this guy actually used his mother as a rare excuse.

"In that case, it's indeed not appropriate to ask for it."

The Onmyoji's response lessened the sinister hostility in Kidomaru's eyes, and the surrounding atmosphere of killing also eased.

Of course, Yu Zhi felt immense regret, as he desperately wanted to break the Yin-Yang spell, but even so, he still did not intend to change his mind.

Even he himself wasn't entirely clear why he had to protect the red rope tied around his neck.

"Then let's change the terms of the deal to taking me to get the same red rope."

Huang continued.

He had already anticipated that the other party was unlikely to give up the red rope, and even if he could get it, he would definitely have to go to the shrine of the god of marriage in person.

After all, if you don't make prior arrangements, even if you obtain a divine token that can suppress your aura, it will be of no use.

So from the very beginning, Ara's true purpose was to have Kidomaru lead him to Enmusubi.

However, this request caused Kidomaru's expression to darken once again.

It seems that they also realized that this was the other party's real purpose.

For a moment, he did not reply, but simply stared silently and coldly at the young Onmyoji in his field of vision.

At the same time, countless red-skinned imps slowly emerged from the shadows. They appeared because they sensed the murderous aura emanating from their master, and they also let out eerie, sinister laughs that sent chills down one's spine.

It's as if they're mocking the poor prey that's been targeted by its owner, or perhaps they're celebrating in advance that they'll soon be able to get a share of the spoils.

However, when these red-skinned imps that had just begun to peek out actually noticed the familiar figure in their field of vision, they suddenly fell silent and quickly retreated into the shadows where they could hide, like stray dogs.

The reason was that the human in their field of vision had recently instilled in them an indelible fear.

"how?"

"As a demon, are you concerned about the gods from Takamagahara?"

Huang broke the deadlock, but his words carried a hint of mockery.

"how is this possible?"

Upon hearing this, Kidomaru immediately denied it.

"However, that idiot is my prey, and I won't let him go to anyone."

"Even you, Onmyoji."

He went on to explain, his words firm yet restrained.

This supplement seemed like a different kind of protection, and for this reason, he even tightened his grip on the chain wrapped around his wrist, with a clanging metallic sound emanating from it.

[Using the terrain of the Asura Ghost Realm and the evil spirits within it, perhaps we can keep this guy here.]

A silent fighting spirit rose within him.

Even so, Kidomaru still didn't understand why he was protecting that long-winded, stupid god.

They probably just see it as their exclusive prey.

"You should know that you can't beat me."

As Kidomaru gradually entered a battle stance, a circle of azure pentagrams suddenly appeared beneath Ara's feet, the light carrying obscure magical power illuminating this desolate wasteland.

Even the little red-skinned devils hiding in the shadows and behind the giant rocks had nowhere to hide.

Kidomaru remained silent, but while channeling his demonic power, he stuck out his tongue and lightly licked his slightly dry lips.

He never intended to serve the Onmyoji in front of him wholeheartedly; his previous feigned compliance was merely a means to obtain more and stronger prey.

In the end, they will still rebel anyway.

It doesn't seem like a big deal to tear off the mask now and bring forward the final hunt!

Chapter 761 Abandoning the Seal Release, Heading to the Enmusubi Shrine

Chains coiled, demonic energy surged.

The entire Asura Demon Path became chilling and eerie due to Kidomaru's sudden burst of violent energy.

From the depths of the eerie ghost path, as if responding to some kind of call, a strange, eerie, and chilling sound began to emanate.

Even the blood moon hanging in the sky disappeared into a nameless darkness at this moment, leaving only a faint outline of the full moon that could still be seen.

Although Kidomaru's own power and foundation are not enough to support his ranking among the Hundred Demons.

But there is no doubt that in this Asura Ghost Path where evil spirits are banished, this cruel and cunning fellow has already shown signs of becoming king.

Give him a little more time, or perhaps he can find a way to break the seal on his heart and replace the human bloodline within him.

Then, this guy will inevitably follow in his father's footsteps and become the new Asura King of this Asura Ghost Path!

"It seems you haven't been doing nothing all these days,"

"The power it displays is quite interesting."

It's unclear whether it was due to the home advantage or some other reason that touched a raw nerve in Kidomaru's heart.

Without a doubt, this guy is indeed much stronger than when he last descended!

Huang could vaguely sense that this world, and all the living beings in it, were responding to his call and releasing their primal bloodlust.

All those desires transformed into a special energy—madness—that accumulated in this space.

Upon hearing this, Kidomaru's demonic face showed no trace of pride or arrogance.
