"The seal on my heart prevents me from getting close to Kyoto."
"If I don't untie it, I have no way to take you to that stupid god's shrine."
Kidomaru continued his demands without changing his expression.
Meanwhile, his crimson eyes were as calm as still lake water.
"Eh, so the reason why the God of Marriage built the shrine in the suburbs far away from the main city of Kyoto wasn't because of you?"
"Could she really be a stupid deity like you say? Why would believers go to such a remote and desolate place?"
Huang's eyes were full of mockery.
Although the other person's lie was not directly exposed, these words still caused his inner emotions to become chaotic.
The reason that foolish goddess gave up the opportunity to gain more followers and built her shrine in the suburbs was so that she, a demon who couldn't get close to Kyoto, could reach her shrine!
However, once the seal on his heart can be removed, that idiot won't have to worry about that anymore.
What a hopeless idiot!
How could a demon possibly visit a shrine?!
"The guy you're going to take down is very strong,"
"Break my seal, and I can become stronger."
Even with such conviction, Kidomaru still looked intently at the Onmyoji in his field of vision. His softened gaze hardened and sharpened, regaining its initial arrogance.
Despite being convinced by his former teacher that he was a heartless person and a born devil, his heart began to beat for others, and his actions became considerate of others.
Even that person, there is only one God of Fate.
"So you'll become stronger and then hunt me down?"
"I've changed my mind. The seal on your heart cannot be lifted yet."
"Moreover, although I am not that righteous, the seal engraved in your heart can indeed bring a lot of security to the residents of Kyoto."
It must be said that the former's proposal did indeed tempt Huang Xin.
After all, his ultimate goal in going to Heian-kyo despite the possibility of being discovered by Takamagahara was to gain more power before facing Ashura directly.
Kidomaru, as the new king of the Asura Demon Path, is naturally a valuable asset.
Huang also knew very well that his opponent was far from reaching the peak of his strength!
As a half-demon, he has many limitations similar to those of humans, including vitality, physique, and even the actual age of this body is only similar to his own.
Once the seal on his chest is removed, and the 'madness' hidden in this space is unleashed to completely cleanse the bloodline belonging to humans, then Kidomaru will become a true Asura Demon King!
But that also means that he will almost never show any humanity again, and will completely degenerate into a demon.
When you realize that this guy is willing to sacrifice himself for the sake of the Goddess of Marriage...
Huang then abandoned the idea of personally removing the seal on the other party's heart.
This could indeed provide a powerful boost to one's ability to confront Asura, but it could also cause a certain foolish god to lose a malevolent follower.
Perhaps, the seal on Kidomaru's heart will one day be broken in another way.
However, it should not be prematurely terminated due to one's own selfish desires.
At the very least, this guy needs to understand that on his path of battle, there is a god who is willing to give him a place to rest and is watching over him.
Chapter 762 The Genji Army sets out, heading straight for Mount Ōe.
Kidomaru was in a very bad mood.
After being beaten up, not only did he not get what he wanted, but he was also ridiculed by that despicable Onmyoji in a ridiculous way.
[Would I even care about Enmusubi, that stupid god who collects junk everywhere?]
Ha, impossible.
[Absolutely impossible!]
[The reason for maintaining it is simply because that fool is its prey!]
As a demon, how could I possibly hand over my prey to someone else?
That's it, that's right!!
Throughout the journey, Kidomaru, hanging alone at the back, kept his inner beliefs firmly in mind.
Even so, the image of him inexplicably rushing towards the blade tip still lingered in his mind.
This made him feel extremely depressed and ashamed!
"correct,"
"Is the fireworks festival at Enmusubi Shrine coming soon?"
"I heard this is the first time her shrine has held a memorial service?"
Walking on the streets of the outskirts of Kyoto, Ara suddenly stopped, turned around, and asked.
Upon hearing this, Kidomaru subconsciously snapped out of his inner turmoil and looked up at the young Onmyoji in front of him.
What's strange is that, despite the obvious dissatisfaction on his face, he didn't avoid the question:
"Yes."
Although this answer was extremely brief and detached.
"In that case, it seems like it would be better to bring a gift."
Huang muttered to himself after receiving a reply, since this trip was essentially asking someone for a favor.
"I plan to go to Kyoto first and bring her a souvenir."
"What about you?"
"Is there any gift you'd like me to bring back for you?"
He then asked the question.
Upon hearing this, Kidomaru immediately became agitated, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on.
"unnecessary,"
"Not offering that idiot the proper greeting ceremony of the Asura Demon Path before her memorial service is already a great favor from me!"
He answered decisively, his voice high-pitched and tense.
Still so arrogant, refusing to face her own true feelings.
Ara silently pondered the intense fluctuations in the demonic eyes that were fixed on Kidomaru.
"Okay, okay, whatever you want."
"Then stay here until we get back. Don't wander around or cause any trouble."
"Besides, since you're going to worship, at least clean your clothes."
"She is, after all, the goddess you worship."
"This is not the Asura Ghost Path either."
Ara wasn't insistent on making the other person confront their inner self, but as he led Izumi towards Kyoto, he couldn't help but offer a reminder.
On Kidomaru's rough demon clothes, woven from the skins of various demons, were stained with a large amount of dark red blood, and a strong bloody smell lingered around him, the marks left by his previous wanton hunting in the Asura Demon Path.
Fortunately, this is the outskirts of Kyoto, quite a distance from the main city, and there are hardly any pedestrians in sight.
Otherwise, this guy would definitely be mistaken for a murderer and reported to the authorities by passersby.
"Humph."
To this, the arrogant guy who still refused to face his true feelings simply snorted.
However, not giving a direct negative response is probably a form of concession.
Ara didn't press the issue further. He simply gave Izumi a half-smile and a teasing look before pulling Izumi's hand and heading towards Kyoto.
He still didn't see any pedestrians along the way, but you have to know that this is Kyoto, the largest human city in Heian-kyo!
To put it bluntly, all the prosperity and civilization of humanity in this plane converged here!
Even in the suburbs, it shouldn't be such a sparsely populated scene.
However, it wasn't until they arrived in Kyoto that Ara realized what had happened.
This is because almost all residents living near Kyoto have gathered in the capital city.
The best description is that the streets were deserted and the crowds were immense.
However, even in the face of such a dense crowd, the main road still had enough width for two carriages to pass side by side. All the onlookers stood clearly on either side of the main road, looking in the same direction.
The clamorous discussions that had gathered together made Huang understand the reason for this extraordinary event:
On this day, the Minamoto clan, one of the three great Onmyoji families of Kyoto, finally launched their attack, heading straight for Mount Ōe!
"Tap tap tap."
Just then, the sound of uniform marching came from the place where the residents on both sides of the road were looking out. It seemed as if the hard stone slabs laid across the main road were about to be crushed to dust by the terrifying momentum of the sound before the people arrived!
Finally, after a short while, several tall horses appeared at the end of the street where Huang was standing.
And as time went by, the massive punitive expedition drew ever closer.
The man dressed in a white hunting robe, with a sheathed katana at his waist, riding a fine horse at the head of the procession, turned out to be a young man with a cool and aloof appearance!
The residents who had gathered along this stretch of road were filled with excited exclamations and discussions the moment they saw the man appear.
He is the initiator and leader of this campaign to subdue the demons of Mount Oe!
He is hailed as a genius of the Genji clan, a talent that appears only once every hundred years!
He is also the youngest head of the Minamoto clan in history!
His name is Minamoto no Yorimitsu!!
Alongside the young patriarch, four fine horses led the way, each carrying a high-ranking Onmyoji dressed in purple hunting robes and two fully armored flag bearers. Embroidered on their fluttering banners were the characters for "Gentian" and the prominent character for "Source."
Behind the five pioneers, two young men and women dressed in militant attire followed in a gap.
