This is a demand that benefits the Minamoto clan in every way, and it is also a manifestation of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's ambition, which sets him apart from other clan heads before him!

In over a hundred years, no human being has ever dared to make such a crazy demand of an evil god.

But without a doubt, the response he received was that contemptuous sneer.

However, the failed transaction did not change Minamoto no Yorimitsu in any way. He would still shamelessly ask the evil god all sorts of questions from time to time.

After all, this is a powerful god who has existed with time itself, far older than the entire Genji clan, and knows countless secrets about this world.

However, without offerings, the Yamata no Orochi responded less and less, and eventually remained silent for several months after uttering the words "greedy humans."

But Minamoto no Yorimitsu remained undeterred in this pursuit.

Not only because the information and secrets he got for free from Orochi greatly enriched his knowledge, but more importantly, there were very few people in the entire Kyoto who could sit down with him and speak frankly with him!

In a short period of time, the evil god continuously elevated his perspective and vision.

Furthermore, when Minamoto no Yorimitsu found himself being ignored, he did not resort to humble supplications or simply increase the number and frequency of sacrifices in an attempt to gain forgiveness.

On the contrary, they went in the opposite direction.

Not only did they break the annual sacrificial rule and gradually extend the interval between offerings to Yamata no Orochi, but they also sought to strengthen themselves in various ways to counterbalance the potential threat posed by this evil god!

It's impossible to directly destroy the altar connected to Yamata no Orochi.

Even as the current patriarch of the Yuan family, those short-sighted old fogies would never agree to his decision.

Therefore, he must produce absolute results to let these parasites in the family know that his decision was correct and that the Yamata no Orochi is not a necessity for the prosperity of the family!

Oni-bunbu, Yokai-bunbu-hime, and Yokai-bunbu-Onikiri were all his attempts.

Moreover, compared to the flawed Yoto Hime who possesses self-awareness, Onikiri's loyalty and combat prowess in this battle are even more gratifying!

If he could behead Shuten-dōji and destroy Mount Ōe in this battle, he would have no more worries.

It can directly destroy the altar, unaffected by the Yamata no Orochi!

Although he broke the prophecy of the clan elders this time, his plan to attack Mount Ooe ultimately failed, which means that in the short term, his influence within the clan will remain the same as before.

However, Minamoto no Yorimitsu found another breakthrough in this battle.

That's the Uchiha!

If Mount Ooe and the Uchiha clan were to form an alliance, then without a doubt, the Genji clan, lacking geographical advantage, would be unable to pacify this monster paradise.

However, if the battlefield were set in Kyoto, everything would be reversed.

Kyoto, with its centuries-old history, possesses a perfect protective barrier, an uncountable collection of talismans, and all the means to defend against external enemies.

the most important is,

He can use the power of the Yamata no Orochi to eliminate external enemies, and he can also use the power of external enemies to overturn the altar.

At that time, the initiative will be in their own hands.

Those short-sighted fellows within the clan are once again demanding the sacrifice of a priestess in order to secure a hundred years of prosperity for the Minamoto clan.

But little did they know that relentless sacrifice would only bring that wicked serpent one step closer to returning to the world of men.

I had planned to purge the ruins of Mount Oe before this year's sacrificial ceremony, thus severing all ties with the evil god.

However, since you've failed, let me see your guts!

[The young head of the Uchiha clan.]

.........

While watching the Genji retreat, Izumi also explained the current state of Yoto Hime.

The fact that the latter was able to stand here quietly was not because it had completely broken free from the control of the Genji clan, but because the power of the Mangekyou Sharingan had calmed it down.

There are only two ways to completely remove the seals cast by the Genji Onmyoji:

Firstly, the caster personally cancels the applied spell.

Secondly, if the practitioner dies, the spell will automatically dissipate.

However, compared to the techniques imprinted on his body, the truly difficult thing to resolve is the obstacle within his own heart.

Driven by the Onmyoji of the Minamoto clan for a long time, he devoted himself to killing, which made his memories full of dismembered limbs and scenes of blood splattering everywhere!

Even when facing enemies from opposing camps, she would sadly say, "Please stay away from me," which is enough to show her kind heart and the many wounds within it.

"There's nothing I can do."

After examining Yaodao-hime's condition, Ara shook his head, indicating that he could not forcibly remove the seal.

After all, the Yin-Yang techniques he mastered all came from completing tasks on the panel, unlike the Yin-Yang masters of traditional Yin-Yang families who had a complete learning process.

Of course, it is possible to remove the seal within the body of the Demon Sword Princess by using the power of Mimi Kirimaru, but the price to be paid is the woman's life.

Because of its similar birth to Onikiri, it was originally a shrine maiden who was seriously injured on the battlefield, and was later reborn after being infused with a fragment of the soul of a certain monster.

So, in essence, she is also a monster now.

"Therefore, the only way to resolve this matter is..."

Upon hearing this, not only did Yaodaoji's face show a hint of sadness, but even Izumi's face revealed a coldness.

When she calmed Yaodaoji down with her Mangekyou Sharingan, she involuntarily saw some of the other's past memories. The paintings in those memories all expressed despair and pain in the face of killing.

However, just as Izumi was about to say something harsh, the words he was about to utter were abruptly cut off.

Although she sympathized with Yaodaoji's situation, she wouldn't want to put her beloved in a difficult position.

This is not the ninja world, and I can use the Mangekyou Sharingan to suppress the opponent's control over the technique.

"Well, the only way is to have Minamoto no Yorimitsu untie it himself."

"He's already made such an invitation, how could I possibly refuse?"

"only.........."

Huang also had his own hesitations.

Compared to destroying the altar of Yamata no Orochi, it might be more difficult for Minamoto no Yorimitsu to personally undo the spell on Yoto Hime.

After all, the altar is an inanimate object, and ordinary barriers are as fragile as paper under Mimi Kirimaru.

But Minamoto no Yorimitsu, no matter what, was the head of the Minamoto clan!

Not only is he himself quite strong, able to fight the Demon King of Mount Ooe to a standstill, but he is also surrounded by countless servants who protect him.

Moreover, he did not believe that killing the head of the Minamoto clan indiscriminately was the best option.

It must be said that in terms of talent in commanding Onmyoji and even the human race, there are probably few people in Kyoto who can surpass this genius of the Minamoto clan.

With a head like Minamoto no Yorimitsu in charge, humans were able to hold their own in the struggle against yokai.

Although Ara firmly believed that the monsters of Shichikakuyama were his very important companions.

However, it is also impossible to avoid the fact that, as Minamoto no Yorimitsu said, there are extremely vicious demons among the yokai.

There are quite a few evil monsters who want to become stronger or satisfy their own appetites and wantonly slaughter an innocent village!

Genji is like a sharp blade hanging over the heads of those evil spirits.

It is likely that one of the purposes of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's campaign against Mount Ōe was to give the strongest warning to all evil demons in the world!

"Do we need the power of the family?"

Quan said, biting her lip.

She could sense the extraordinary nature of that human leader and understood her lover's hesitation.

It is bound to be risky to involve an entire family that was originally uninvolved simply for the sake of a woman.

"Um,"

“If we really have to do it, I might need you to hold back the Onmyoji of the Minamoto clan, as well as those Oni soldiers.”

Huang nodded slightly.

Without external interference, he should be able to achieve his goal by capturing the leader first.

Just like Quan, he was also worried about the safety of his people.

"Oeyama is willing to help."

Just as he was pondering silently, the Ghost King suddenly spoke up from the side.

Upon hearing this, Huang naturally turned his gaze toward the source of the sound.

Because of the challenge left by Minamoto no Yorimitsu, he temporarily forgot about the yokai he was targeting on this trip.

Chapter 781 Don't call me Clan Chief in private!

"What kind of look is that, human?!"

"Does this mean you don't trust my reputation and are worried that I'll take this opportunity to retaliate against the Genji and Kyoto?"

"The hatred between me and the Genji must be settled, but before that, I also know the danger that the Yamata no Orochi could pose if it were to return to the mortal realm!"

Noticing the young Onmyoji staring blankly at him, an unnamed fire suddenly rose within Shuten-dōji.

This is indeed the nature of humanity. Although they claim to have friends who are monsters and that monsters are just like humans, with good and evil, they still wear colored glasses when faced with the kindness of others!

"No, not really."

"If you want to go, then go ahead."

Huang responded softly. He was merely considering whether to involve the entire family in this matter, momentarily ignoring the breathing Ghost King beside him.

"See? I knew you could talk a good game, but the essence of all humans is the same."

"In the end, it was you who came up with the conclusion that those who are not of our kind are bound to have different hearts. At worst, I'll go alone; you wouldn't......"

"Eh?"

"Wait, you mean, accept my help?"

Shuten-dōji, whose emotions were controlled by his inner fire, obviously did not hear the former's response and continued speaking on his own. When he came to his senses, he found that the young onmyoji was looking at him with the eyes of someone looking at an idiot.

"Well, what's the problem?"

"If the evil god Yamata no Orochi really escapes from the sealed land and descends upon this world, Mount Ooe will not be able to remain unscathed."
