I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

“There are small forces caught between large powers, and the entire territory has become a battlefield for the great powers to compete, with innocent people being displaced.”

"Because of the power of a certain clan's sealing technique, they turned the entire clan and the kingdom they lived in into ruins overnight."

"Among monsters, there are evil spirits who are inherently wicked, and among humans, there are also schemers who will stop at nothing to gain profit."

"Compared to monsters, they are more pure."

"At least when I was most helpless, she responded to my request."

Huang narrated calmly, his voice gradually softening, especially when mentioning the relatively vague "she".

He would never forget that dark night when the other person descended amidst the chill of the night, becoming his first shikigami and helping him in countless ways.

For a moment, not only Shuten-dōji, who was a demon, was moved, but even Minamoto no Yorimitsu fell into a brief silence, as if he was considering the truthfulness of the former's words.

"I will slay the evil spirits,"

"But if you want to lay a hand on my partner, then give it a try."

"By the way, the power that Orochi has leaked from the sealed land has already affected the survival of my companions at Shichikakuyama."

As he spoke, Ara had already raised his hand and lifted the horizontal sword in his hand, its sharp edge pointing directly at the head of the Minamoto clan in his field of vision.

Although it did not produce any further exciting works, the significance it embodies is quite clear.

"very good,"

"Since you are so stubborn,"

"Then I'll wait for you in Kyoto."

"Ten days from now, those old bastards will offer the next sacrifice to Him. If you have the ability, then come and stop them."

"Of course, you must bring your family and your monster companions with you."

"otherwise........."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu did not continue speaking, but the contempt in his eyes had already silently persisted.

Otherwise, it won't be enough!

Meanwhile, Genji retainers clad in full armor quietly gathered around.

They are the most well-trained soldiers in the world, operating without any noise or chaos.

Furthermore, after arriving at Minamoto no Yorimitsu's side, he did not make any excited moves towards the young Onmyoji in his field of vision, but simply stood guard beside his lord like a cold stone statue.

"Let's go, Onikiri."

His failure to slay the Demon King and his rejection of the Uchiha alliance left him with no desire to stay. He immediately issued the order to withdraw his troops, simultaneously summoning the demon soldiers who had been 'forgotten' on the sidelines.

Upon hearing this, a subtle glint flashed in Onikiri's eyes.

The sudden appearance of the unfamiliar Onmyoji and the strange words and actions of the Oni King of Mount Oe ultimately planted a seed of doubt in his heart.

He wanted an answer.

However, for reasons unknown, none of the three parties present, including the owner, revealed the answer directly.

"Yes, Master."

Onikiri answered as instructed.

He immediately sheathed his sword and stopped attacking Shuten-dōji. In just a few breaths, he returned to Minamoto no Yorimitsu's side, where he joined the assembled demon soldiers to protect their master in the center.

"Ah,"

"How dare you!"

"Never mind, consider that defective product a gift from me."

"Make good use of her. Monsters can survive in this world, but they can only exist as appendages of humans."

After saying that, Minamoto no Yorimitsu glanced coldly at Ara behind him, and then left leisurely under the protection of Oni-heibu and Onikiri.

Shuten-dōji felt an urge to stop him.

But when he looked around and saw only desolation, he suppressed his anger.

Even as the Oni King of Mount Oe, he was unable to protect all his comrades in this war against the Minamoto clan, the strongest Yin-Yang family in Kyoto.

Although yokai are physically stronger than humans, the techniques of the Onmyoji school are no ordinary feats.

Ultimately, the problem lies in the lack of high-end combat power at Mount Ooe.

If his closest friend were present!

Then we must keep all these arrogant guys here!

Unwilling to accept defeat, Shuten-dōji clenched his fists tightly.

"Onikiri, think carefully about who you really are, and who you should be fighting for!"

In the end, he still called out to the receding Genji demon soldiers.

At this, Onikiri's body seemed to freeze for a moment, but he quickly resumed following his master as if nothing had happened.

Behind Huang, Quan, who had previously deliberately stayed in the middle of the battlefield, now stood tall and graceful.

And standing beside him was a tall woman, whose most striking feature was undoubtedly the long katana she held in her hand!

Chapter 780 Minamoto no Yorimitsu's plans urgently require the support of his clan.

The Minamoto clan's withdrawal was decisive.

Whether it was the demon soldiers who had no independent consciousness or the Onmyoji of this clan, upon receiving the order from the clan head, they immediately began to withdraw from their respective battlefields and retreated in an orderly manner towards the outer perimeter of Mount Ooe, like a tide.

This highly unified execution demonstrates that Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the new leader of the Minamoto clan, possesses absolute prestige within the family!

Soon, the fully reorganized Minamoto army gathered at the entrance to Mount Ōe.

And clinging tightly to this human expeditionary force, standing in stark opposition to them, were none other than the hideous monsters that stretched across the land.

Although the monsters of Mount Oe have a certain advantage in both physique and number,

However, their chaotic and haphazard formations, along with the fact that most of the monsters were unarmed and without any armor, prevented them from fully utilizing their advantages.

This was a war in which no true victor was decided.

'Tap tap tap.'

As their lord returned from the depths of Mount Ooe, protected by Onikiri and others, a burly samurai in full armor led him a tall horse clad in light armor.

Minamoto no Yorimitsu immediately jumped up, took the reins, and looked in the direction he had retreated.

Of course, his concern was never for those rabble who only had muscles and numbers, nor for the demon king Shuten-dōji of this monster paradise.

Instead, it was the young Onmyoji standing on that hilltop.

"I'll be waiting for you in ten days."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu challenged the man to a duel again in the direction he was standing, and without caring whether the other party had heard him at such a distance, he abruptly turned the reins and headed back towards Kyoto without any hesitation.

The appearance of the Uchiha clan led to the failure of the campaign, which indeed stirred up anger and resentment within him.

However, as a qualified leader, he would consider the gains and losses of this campaign from a broader perspective.

First of all, the demon king of Mount Oe was not able to kill him; on the contrary, he almost beheaded Shuten-dōji!

Such a result is somewhat regrettable.

But that was enough to shatter the prophecies of those decadent elders!

That would be enough to make those old fogies who were waiting to receive their own corpses and trying to regain control of the Genji clan drop their jaws in astonishment!

Secondly, since he almost beheaded the Demon King this time, he will definitely take Shuten-dōji's head as a trophy next time!

After all, Onikiri's birth was not a gift from the power of Yamata no Orochi, as the Oni King of Mount Oe speculated.

Rather, it is a demon-slaying blade reforged from the blood it itself infused with.

One Onikiri has already stirred up Mount Ooe like this.

After he returns, he will create even more of these demonic soldiers!

Mount Ooe, this paradise of a hundred demons, revered and feared by the world, is no longer seen as an insurmountable threat after this battle!

Finally, what truly made Minamoto no Yorimitsu take the matter seriously was the evil god Yamata no Orochi mentioned by the Uchiha!

Although Shuten-dōji was wrong about the origin of Onikiri.

However, the reason why the Minamoto clan was able to stand out from the three major families of Kyoto was, just as the other party said, because they received the power of the Yamata no Orochi.

That calamity, which was said to have been sealed by the gods of Takamagahara in the narrow space between Yin and Yang, did indeed possess an incredible and terrifying power. Even the slightest bit of divine power transmitted through the altar greatly enhanced the Onmyoji of the Minamoto clan's sensitivity to Yin and Yang forces and their understanding of Onmyo techniques.

Even their clan's proud demon-controlling technique was guided by that evil god.

As the price for gaining power,

Every year, the Minamoto family needs to offer sacrifices to a shrine maiden with psychic powers at the altar.

Such a cheap exchange could bring the power to make the entire family strong and complete its transformation. What ambitious person wouldn't be tempted by such a deal?

Even Minamoto no Yorimitsu himself, after experiencing the power of the evil god for the first time and feeling its terror, couldn't help but succumb to it.

But unlike the previous heads of the Minamoto clan...

Although he was captivated by this readily available immense power, he was not short-sighted!

He knew perfectly well that the reason the serpent chose to help the Minamoto family was not because it coveted the shrine maiden's special spiritual power, but because it wanted to escape from the sealed land!

These gifts, even acts of charity, to humanity are nothing but petty gains in the face of breaking free from the seal.

Once that treacherous serpent breaks through the narrow passage, Kyoto will inevitably be the first to be impacted.

Kyoto is the birthplace of the Genji clan, so he naturally couldn't allow the Yamata no Orochi to run rampant.

As early as when Minamoto no Yorimitsu was chosen as the successor to the next head of the Minamoto clan, he naturally became the person in charge of negotiations between the Minamoto clan and the Yamata no Orochi.

After experiencing the shock of facing it for the first time, he began to look for ways to counterbalance, resolve, and even control this hidden danger.

The most direct and reassuring method is to use demon-controlling techniques to create the Yamata no Orochi as a shikigami unique to the Minamoto clan!

So the following year, when he was to sacrifice the priestess as promised, he used this as leverage to make a greedy deal with the evil god:

The Genji will use every means to release it from the sealed void between the realms of Yin and Yang back to the mortal world. However, in return, the Yamata no Orochi must become the guardian beast of the Genji clan, forever serving them!
