I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

However, even after they entered the town, Ara was unable to hear Kidomaru call him "Onmyoji-sama" a third time, nor was the extra magatama returned to him.

However, he overheard another very important piece of news from the crowd:

"Have you all heard? The Genji army is advancing like a whirlwind, all the way into Mount Ooe, where countless demons dwell!"

"The battle there has been going on for two days and two nights, and there is no sign of it stopping. There are loud roars coming from it every night."

"Yes, but it is said that there is an extremely powerful demon king in Mount Ōe, and the prophecy of the Genji clan is that the current head of the clan will die at the hands of that demon king!"

"........."

The news from Mount Ooe made Ara become distracted.

Because he knew that if the course of history did not change significantly, then the prophecy of the Genji clan would be overturned.

The outcome will not be that the head of the Minamoto clan dies at the hands of the Demon King, but rather that the current head of the Minamoto clan, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, beheads the Demon King of Mount Oe, Shuten-dōji!

This is not the outcome Huang wanted to see.

Because he needs the power of that Ghost King and his best friend!

"I'm sorry, Kidomaru."

"It seems we can't accompany you to the festival."

After much internal struggle, he finally spoke with a hint of apology to the Asura demon standing some distance away.

Chapter 776 A person who cares about you won't care about the value of a gift.

The farewell words that reached his ears caused Kidomaru to feel inexplicably uneasy.

His gaze, which had been wandering elsewhere, immediately fell on the former. He had something urgent to say, but in the end, it turned into a silent stare.

[This is unrelated.]

[Whatever this despicable Onmyoji does is none of my business!]

[Perfect, he can now regain his freedom!]

But the more turbulent and turbulent his thoughts became, the more he couldn't take his eyes off the other person.

It's like a girl who's been dumped for no reason, silently waiting for an explanation!

"Don't worry, just go and participate in the festival. The time won't be shortchanged for you."

"Hmm, in human terms, it's paid leave."

"How am I? I'm fine, aren't I?"

In response, the closely watched "scumbag" Huang quickly offered an explanation.

He had never before felt his shikigami staring at him with such resentment and a hint of grudge.

"If you want to receive a little more salary in advance, that's also possible."

Seeing that the evil spirit's gaze remained unmoved, Huang nervously changed the subject, and as he spoke, a jingling money bag once again appeared in his palm.

These small magatama pieces all came from the change he received from shop owners during his shopping trips in Kyoto over the past few days.

This time, however, Kidomaru's mind was not on the money bag that made the 'evil' sound.

"You're going to Mount Ooe? To find the Demon King Shuten-dōji and the Genji clan?"

The ball it launched was aimed directly at this 'scumbag' Onmyoji who kept beating around the bush.

After his hidden plan was exposed, Ara's face showed a hint of unease.

However, he quickly came to terms with it. Now he was talking to a cunning demon who had turned the entire Asura Demon Path into a private paradise. How could he possibly fool him like he did with that little fool, Komatsumaru?

"That's right, both the Demon King Shuten-dōji and the current head of the Minamoto clan, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, are my next targets."

Since things had come to this point, Huang simply revealed his plan.

Thankfully, there were no outsiders around them, otherwise such a bold statement would have been ridiculed until tomorrow morning!

Mount Ōe and the Genji clan represent the strongest first-tier forces in Heian-kyo outside of Takamagahara, far surpassing the power of Mount Shichikaku or the Shura Oni Domain.

However, now there is a blind and arrogant young man who says he wants to make these two forces his hunting targets.

ridiculous!

However, Kidomaru, who was just listening, did not question this statement.

"I'll go as well."

He spoke earnestly, his narrow, demonic eyes gleaming with undisguised fighting spirit.

The clash between Mount Oe and the Genji clan

The clash between the Demon King Shuten-dōji and Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the head of the Minamoto clan.

Just imagining it makes the demonic blood within him boil!

He was a born demon, bloodthirsty by nature; how could he possibly miss such a feast?

"No, I'm not going there to fight."

"You'll cause me trouble."

Ara decisively refused. The reason he didn't tell Kidomaru directly that he wanted to change his route to Mount Ooe was because he was afraid that the kid would cause trouble.

As expected, the epic battle initiated by Minamoto no Yorimitsu instantly stirred Kidomaru's emotions.

If he hadn't gone to Seven Corners Mountain, he might have agreed to let the other person go with him.

After all, his initial idea was to stand on the side of Mount Ōe, help Shuten-dōji defeat the Genji's punitive army, and thereby gain the power of Mount Ōe.

However, after this trip, or rather, going back a bit further in time,

When Ara killed Obito, and when he saw that even such a person had comrades who were willing to watch over and protect him, some subtle changes occurred in Ara's heart.

He found a desire beyond revenge:

Then live a peaceful and happy life with your lover, companions, clansmen, and the monsters you've befriended, and enjoy everything you couldn't experience in your previous life!

Therefore, Huang no longer cares about the faction distinctions on the mission panel.

He only wanted to act according to his conscience, rather than easily inflicting suffering on any party!

"Don't be naive enough to think you have all my actions under control."

"I just found the Ghost Realm a bit boring, which is why I'm willing to play this childish pretend game with you."

"I am Kidomaru,"

"A demon of Asuras destined to hunt down all the great demons of the world!"

"My legs will decide where I go!"

As the deep voice escaped Kidomaru's lips, the surrounding environment suddenly became eerie and oppressive.

In an instant, an invisible pressure swept over this ordinary human town like a whirlwind sweeping away fallen leaves.

A strange wind swept through the streets, and rats scurried about at the street corners.

The warm lights began to flicker, and the cries of babies rang out one after another.

Faintly, eerie dark clouds lingered in the sky, but they were not very clear due to the darkness.

A great demon is a great demon.

The mere release of their aura easily shattered the tranquility of the small town.

"Yes, yes, you are an evil spirit, an evil spirit destined to hunt down all the great demons in the world."

Huang's expression remained unchanged, but his tone was somewhat helpless.

The other person's appearance was like that of a martial arts master from a TV series in my past life, who was willing to give up everything and was obsessed with the title of the best in the world.

He naturally wouldn't deny or forcibly change the other party's deeply ingrained obsession.

Because this is the meaning of existence that Kidomaru found.

A life without finding a goal, without finding meaning in existence, is incomplete.

"So, what about the first festival of the God of Marriage?"

Aren't you going?

"She must want to see a huge crowd of believers arrive that day."

Huang responded calmly to the former's madness.

Neither denying nor forcibly changing, but simply making this guy pay attention to other important people and things when he is driven by his obsession and becomes reckless.

You should know that the foolish god had previously gone to the Asura Ghost Realm, a bloody realm hated by gods and feared by humans, without hesitation, for the sake of his believers.

Upon hearing this, a complex expression appeared on Kidomaru's face. His mind, dominated by killing intent, unconsciously stirred up some thoughts.

Some words that have been noticed without anyone noticing:

[If only a handful of believers attend the first festival, she'll be very sad.]

[That guy is such a fool! He should have built the shrine in bustling Kyoto to attract more worshippers and make it lively and lively. He actually chose to build it in this remote suburb.]

[Located far from Kyoto, the suburbs are bound to attract some uninvited guests, just like those bastards we encountered before. If something like that happens during her festival, it will be terrible.]

【......】

These things keep popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, gradually plunging people into this kind of worry and this kind of delusion.

Of course, the instinct to kill still holds a dominant position.

However, judging from his hands, which were clenched involuntarily, and the bulging, ferocious veins that resembled a raging dragon, one could tell that...

He is struggling!

Resisting!

"Is the battle between Shuten-dōji and Minamoto no Yorimitsu really that captivating for you?"

"It's just a battle between the Demon King and the head of the Onmyoji family."

"Compared to that, how does this force compare?"

"Your vision is far too narrow."
