I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Huang responded with an unchanged expression.

If such a highly symbolic great yokai were to appear when dealing with the Genji, it would undoubtedly be a great help to one's actions.

After all, the ideal advocated by the Genji clan was to exterminate all monsters in the world.

This response made the arrogant Shuten-dōji unable to suppress the strange restlessness in his heart. He had never seen an Onmyoji who could show such a calm attitude in front of him, and it even made him want to provoke a fight.

"Aren't you even a little worried that I'm deceiving you and that I'll take my anger out on the entire capital of Kyoto?"

"After all, my great Mount Oe has been made a mess by you humans!"

Shuten-dōji's voice was deep and ferocious. His anger toward the Genji's attack would not be diminished by the retreat of those bastards!

"So,"

"I will personally cut off your head when the time comes."

Huang's answer was without the slightest hesitation.

Even if the ordinary inhabitants of this world have no close or distant relationship with it, it does not mean that they can remain indifferent and stand by when they see evil spirits attacking humans at will.

‘Wow! ’

As he spoke, the horizontal sword in his hand first flashed with a cold, sharp blade pattern, and then a deep blue energy suddenly spread across the blade.

However, this action was not actually aimed at anyone, and it was quickly sheathed. The demonic flames carrying the power to exorcise demons were slowly extinguished after touching the sheath.

'Click. '

The sword guard collided with the scabbard.

At that moment, Huang also asked a question in return:

"understand?"

"Cauliflower head".

A fleeting glance instantly erased Shuten-dōji's probing teasing.

In contrast, the former's demonic eyes were filled with solemnity, as if he were looking at a terrifying demon of equal strength.

Even more so, a terrifying conclusion involuntarily arose in his mind:

This is a terrifying human whose danger level is no less than that of Minamoto no Yorimitsu. Considering the future of the demon race, perhaps eliminating him beforehand is the best option!

During this brief moment of silent staring, the monsters of Mount Ooe, who seemed to sense the hidden killing intent of their leader, gradually gathered from all directions.

The hostility and demonic energy that gathered during this period surged like giant waves in all directions, threatening to completely engulf the three outsiders in the 'Central Prison' at any moment!

Especially the Demon Blade Princess, who received the most hostility.

After all, she still exuded a clear aura of blood, the scent of a yokai from Mount Ooe!

But at that moment, a stern and authoritative shout resounded in the central area surrounded by monsters from all sides:

"Everyone spread out!"

It was Shuten-dōji's voice.

Upon hearing this, the hostility from all sides and the overwhelming demonic aura that had been condensed instantly receded like a tide.

In this land, the Ghost King's commands represent the highest authority.

"Heh, what an arrogant human Onmyoji."

"Sooner or later, I will see for myself whether your strength is worthy of your arrogance."

Shuten-dōji ultimately managed to suppress the madness within him.

As a ghost king, he possesses his own pride and sense of justice.

"I will arrive in ten days."

"We must never allow the Minamoto clan to continue to recklessly come into contact with the Yamata no Orochi. If that scourge were to return to the mortal world, humans and yokai would suffer the same fate."

He continued, his solemn expression speaking volumes.

"Well then, I look forward to seeing the heroic figure of the Demon King of Mount Oe."

Huang gave a polite reply, then made a move to leave.

At present, whether or not to involve his clansmen in the confrontation with the Minamoto clan in ten days is his first consideration.

As a result, their plan to use Mount Ooe and the power of Shuten-dōji to deal with Ashura was temporarily shelved.

Being too eager for the other party to repay the favor might actually make the ghost king feel disgusted.

Anyway, they will meet again in ten days, and it won't be too late to discuss those matters then.

Shuten-dōji, who had been watching the group leave, was also waiting.

He waited for the other party to turn back, waiting for the human Onmyoji to use kindness as leverage. But even as the person was almost about to step out of his territory, he still hadn't received a single condition for saving his life.

This made him feel very restless and passive.

He is the Demon King of Mount Ooe, and he has now been saved by a human, who has not yet made any demands!

Who exactly are you?!

"Hey, you're an Onmyoji from the Uchiha clan,"

"Remember this, I owe you a favor."

Ultimately, driven by his inner conviction, he took the lead and made a loud promise in the direction the person had left.

This rude and uncouth attitude makes one wonder whether it is a promise being made or a favor being bestowed.

Within a few breaths, the young Onmyoji in Yu Zhi's sight suddenly stopped moving forward and looked in the direction Yu Zhi was standing.

With Shuten-dōji's keen eyesight, he naturally noticed the slight look of surprise on the face of the Uchiha clan's Onmyoji, and also noticed the way the latter's lips were opening and closing.

but,

At such a distance, human voices alone could not possibly travel.

You should be grateful for my blessings.

Humanity.

"Oh, I will make good use of your promise,"

"Cauliflower head".

But the next second, the person's clear response, like a whisper from a bedmate, reached his ears without missing a single word.

Such feedback caused the confident smile on his face to vanish instantly.

I underestimated you, the Onmyoji of the Uchiha clan.

[Ibaraki-doji, I've finally found you a worthy opponent. When are you finally going to come home?]

As he gazed at the man's retreating figure as he turned and continued walking, Shuten-dōji silently recited in his heart.

However, one question remained unanswered in his mind.

What exactly is that "cauliflower head" thing?

He had heard the other person speak before, but at the time he only thought it was a nickname for one of the three. But now it seemed that this sentence clearly referred to...

Looking back, the demonic eyes seemed to see all the monsters in the surrounding area watching him cautiously.

Especially Hoshiguma Doji, who was standing not far away, was secretly comparing a vegetable to something, having taken it out from somewhere.

The special 'fruit' formed by the dense cluster of peduncles, flower stalks, and undeveloped flower buds is somewhat similar to a bundle of fluffy hair.

In an instant, countless black lines appeared on Shuten-dōji's forehead.

The next second, he vanished from where he stood, and when the demons looked on again, their leader had already changed positions.

As for Hoshiguma Doji, who had a pair of narrow, fox-like eyes, he sensed something in that instant, and even his beating heart slowed down slightly.

"What are you looking at, Hoshiguma Doji?"

"Let me see it too."

As his heartbeat slowed, a cold voice reached his ears.

"No, it's nothing!"

"I'm going to clean up the battlefield."

In an instant, the head steward of Mount Ooe dashed down the mountain, leaving only a peculiar vegetable tossed into the air in Shuten-dōji's sight.

But soon, the cauliflower turned into dust in Shuten-dōji's palm and scattered with the wind.

"Genji, Uchiha,"

"I will settle each of our accounts one day."

As he finished speaking, he suddenly looked down at the mountains beneath his feet.

As humanity grows stronger, evil gods continue to stir.

Even those low-level monsters from Seven Horns Mountain are making contact with humans. Perhaps, I should also take the initiative to break down this self-imposed barrier.

As he pondered this, he saw huge boulders rolling down from where he was standing.

The countless monsters present stopped what they were doing, and some even prostrated themselves on the ground in front of the former.

Excitement, restlessness, piety—various expressions that swept away the sorrow in the room shifted across the faces of these fellows!

Because at that moment, they understood one thing:

The true Demon King of Mount Ooe is about to reappear in the world!!

.........

.........

Throughout the journey, Huang's desolate state appeared somewhat indifferent; he remained trapped in a 'cage', unsure of what to choose.

As the clan leader, his concern for the safety of his clan members, coupled with the need for more power to restrain the Onmyoji of the Minamoto clan, left him somewhat uncertain.

As for using monsters to restrain the Minamoto clan, that would naturally not be the choice.

This would further exacerbate the current situation in the Heian-kyo dimension where humans and yokai coexist.

Shuten-dōji was naturally an exception.
