"Please take my sister with you as well, Onmyoji."

The little fox stood up and pleaded with the back of the figure that had blocked all hostility and hatred.

But as soon as the words left his mouth, a strong sense of unease and anxiety arose in his heart, and his prayers gradually sounded somewhat weak.

After all, my elder sister said that she had already dedicated everything she had to the gods.

Forcibly taking my sister away would mean standing against the gods!

That's a deity!

Looking at that figure, the three-tailed fox really felt that her wish was a bit too much. It was already enough that the other party had brought her here and allowed her to hear her sister's true meaning.

How could we possibly drag the Onmyoji into opposing the gods for the sake of such an insignificant little yokai?

Thinking of this, the little fox opened its mouth, wanting to further deny this impolite request.

Can,

"Whether you bring one or two, it's the same as bringing one."

"Xia, right? Stand up, I'll take you away."

But the person whose back was turned responded without any hesitation.

He readily agreed to her request, which she felt was unacceptable and extremely presumptuous.

The answer she heard truly stunned the three-tailed fox. She stared blankly at the Onmyoji in front of her, and for a moment she didn't make any move.

"how?"

"Don't want to leave again?"

The sudden silence and the strange gaze falling on his back made Huang subconsciously turn to the side and ask a question.

In an instant, what met its gaze was the little guy's slightly trembling demonic eyes, which had been filled with glistening water since time immemorial.

As their eyes met, the three-tailed fox seemed to realize its own slowness and unease.

"Yes, Onmyoji-sama!!"

She responded immediately, a flawless smile spreading across her lovely face.

"My dear sister, please get up and come with me."

After responding, the three-tailed fox immediately took the priestess Kasumi's arm, intending to help her up.

Huang's attention naturally fell on the back of his right hand, where a faint glow suddenly appeared, and a mark of a three-tailed fox gradually faded away.

During this time, all the shrine staff around dared not utter a sound, and even the high-ranking priests did not make any excessive moves.

He casually appeared here, effortlessly swatted away the white tiger, and casually offered to take away the priestess who served the gods.

All of the strange young man's actions were beyond their comprehension, which made them hesitant to take any action despite their numerical advantage.

However, there is no doubt that the other party is not from one of the three major families in Kyoto either.

If it weren't for those three families, who else would dare to be so arrogant under the shrine they built?

The surging anger in their chests made them want to shout, but the words caught in their throats as they were intimidated by the other party's calm and arrogant demeanor. Especially the sharp blade the other party carried, which emitted a faint, bloody scent.

Feeling both angry and ashamed, and unable to speak easily, the shrine staff could only look at the unknown young Onmyoji with extremely humiliated and indignant eyes.

Xia was still bewildered even when the little fox helped her up.

He really wanted to say something.

For example, if she is a priestess who has dedicated everything to the gods, then contacting and releasing monsters is a dereliction of duty and she should be punished.

For example, this shrine really does enshrine a deity from Takamagahara, who occasionally performs miracles. You really shouldn't risk your life for a sinner like yourself; just take the little fox with you.

However, in this extremely solemn atmosphere, even the priests of the shrine were at a loss for words and dared not speak, let alone her.

After glancing around at the silent priests and the Onmyoji dressed in their divine hunting robes, Ara did not choose to cause any more trouble and turned to leave the mountain.

No matter what, this is the place of worship for the gods of Takamagahara, and making too much noise would not be of any benefit to them.

Of course, as he passed by the three-tailed fox, he didn't forget to say:

"gone."

"Yes, Onmyoji."

The little fox responded immediately.

It seemed that the little one had become exceptionally enthusiastic after the former stood in front of her and responded to her prayer.

Yes, she seemed to be acting like a bully in front of the shrine staff who were bullying her shrine maiden sister.

However, the little fox encountered a problem when faced with the long, winding stone steps leading down the mountain.

Although the shrine maiden did not resist leaving, she had been kneeling for a long time, and her legs were already numb and unable to exert any strength. Using her own strength to support her body was almost the limit, let alone walking down calmly.

After her efforts proved fruitless, the little fox looked at the young Onmyoji who was already heading down the mountain.

"Onmyoji..."

It called out weakly.

Hearing the call, Huang stopped and turned to the side, just in time to see the little guy looking pained and struggling.

He immediately understood and climbed a few more steps to reach the little fox's side.

"excuse me."

He simply said something to Xia, but before he received a response, Huang bent down and swept his arms around her knees to pick her up.

"Thank you for your help, Onmyoji."

The little guy, suddenly feeling relieved, said happily.

Xia, who was suddenly taken away from the arms of a stranger, became slightly flustered.

She was a priestess chosen by the gods.

It is destined that I will dedicate my entire life to the gods!

Let alone getting married like an ordinary girl, even having any physical contact with men of marriageable age is a forbidden rule!

However, now...

The close proximity allowed him to clearly feel the young Onmyoji's warmth, aura, and even his orderly heartbeat!

The feeling of being so detached from the first half of her life made her panic and at a loss, but when her gaze, like a frantic deer, met the other person's calm eyes, the panic in her heart was instantly calmed down.

Now that things have come to this, it seems there's no turning back...

Xia lowered her face, her small, pearly teeth involuntarily biting her slightly pale lips.

In stark contrast to the little fox's exhilarating mood were the shrine staff who stood rooted to the spot, their eyes fixed on the young Onmyoji who had trampled their 'mountain gate' and then calmly left, their eyes brimming with barely contained rage.

Even the Onmyoji who had previously manipulated the shikigami 'Byakko' subtly took out several talismans from his large hunting robe.

At this moment, there was a safe distance between the two, and the former's hands were unable to form a hand seal because he was holding Xia.

This is your chance!

He cast a questioning glance at the priest in the center of the crowd, but the priest seemed to be mesmerized by the man, only staring intently at the man's retreating figure, completely ignoring his request.

However, although he did not receive any instructions from the priest, it was clear that the humiliation he had suffered had stirred up the collective anger of his companions.

Similar thoughts burst forth in the air, and as their eyes met, several resonant star arrays of spells arose beneath their feet.

'Splash,'

A crisp clanging of chains suddenly filled the air as magical chains materialized out of thin air and shot towards the offender in sight!

'Hiss, roar,'

The talismans that drifted down the mountain path suddenly transformed into the shapes of ferocious beasts halfway down. There were white wolves that were similar in size to the previous 'White Tiger', soldiers dressed in armor similar to the Genji Oni Soldiers, and even a giant elephant that roared loudly appeared on the stone steps!

All of this happened so suddenly.

When the strange sounds resonated, these attacks had already reached almost to the back of the desolate wilderness.

The chains, radiating magical energy, illuminated the area behind the offender as if it were daytime. Just then, the priest among the crowd seemed to suddenly realize something, staring intently at the offender's back, or more precisely, at the unique fan-shaped tribal markings on his back!

That's it!!

His pupils widened continuously.

"Stop! All of you, stop! You bunch of bastards, how dare you act so recklessly on this sacred shrine ground!"

The shrine priest suddenly roared at his companion beside him, as if trying to stop it all, but it was too late.

The large white wolf had already opened its blood-red maw and was about to bite the offender's head. The surrounding spiritual energy chains were not in a restraining state, but rather aimed at piercing the person's meridians and destroying their ability to use spells in the future!

However, some of his worries were unnecessary.

Just as the attacks were about to be unleashed upon Huang, and the little fox on one side was already anxiously trying to use its small body to block them, a burst of blazing flames, like a phoenix rising from the ashes, surged forth from beneath his feet.

After burning away the shikigami and magical chains that rushed towards him with overwhelming force, the flames still continued to burn towards the group of onmyoji on the stone steps.

Such a powerful and terrifying counterattack directly terrified those Onmyoji who had never experienced any major battles, leaving them utterly overwhelmed.

However, upon seeing this scene, the priest appeared somewhat relieved, and even muttered to himself:

"It's not black flames."

Although the murmur was soft, it still reached Huang's ears, causing the crimson light hidden beneath his pupils to leap outwards.

It seems that the warrant for his arrest in Takamagahara has not only been issued by the gods, but has also reached the shrine's followers.

I had never encountered this situation in Kyoto before, which I suppose is entirely due to the fact that large families like the Genji had begun to show less respect for the gods than before.

After all, the current head of that clan, Minamoto no Yorimitsu, is determined to create a world where humanity reigns supreme!

In some ways, the gods in the heavens, like the monsters, were obstacles to his grand ambitions.

Furthermore, given that he established a partnership with the evil god Yamata no Orochi and distanced himself from listening to the divine pronouncements of Takamagahara, it's understandable that he wanted to prevent his own secrets from being exposed.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. It was my fault for not restraining them properly. Please calm down and forgive their recklessness."

"To commit such rude acts under the shrine, I will definitely punish these bastards severely!"

The priest apologized without a trace of arrogance, while simultaneously rebuking his companions with the sharpest words.

Their actions all conveyed the same message: they were asking for the former's forgiveness.
