I unleashed a Hundred Demons Parade in the Ninja World

Clearly, allowing that suspicious offender to escape right under their noses was a disgrace to the entire legion.

But again,

The fact that the opponent was able to hold out under Lady Youhime's Moon Domain until reinforcements arrived, and then calmly tear through space to escape afterwards, demonstrated a formidable power that even these battle-hardened warriors found terrifying.

"Lady Yao, what has happened?"

"I think I just heard you say not to attack that Onmyoji?"

A question, seemingly asking for instructions, rang in Yao Ji's ears; it came from a soldier from the nearby Sun Wheel Castle.

It wasn't just the person who asked the question; the cavalrymen within dozens of meters all looked at him with the same concerned and puzzled gaze.

Although the scene was relatively noisy, their close proximity allowed them to clearly hear the woman's calls, which contradicted her previous behavior.

Faced with this question filled with concern and doubt, Yao Ji shook her cheek absentmindedly, saying nothing more, nor did she want to say anything more.

Since that person is no longer visible in the empty field of vision, it means that nothing else matters.

What will the future hold?

Will nightmares come to pass in real life?

All of that is no longer related to that person.

And it was he himself who rejected the hope that he had prayed for.

The thought of this caused Yao Ji immense pain. Her beautiful and proud face lowered, and her long, flowing hair gently brushed against her bewildered and dejected cheeks.

This sense of disorientation made the surrounding Sunwheel City knights even more panicked and at a loss.

Since the former gradually took over his father's responsibilities and led the entire legion, they had never seen the other party show such a frustrated look.

"Lady Yao, are you alright?"

The soldiers who had been standing there exchanged glances, but one of them decided to ask again.

This time, however, they received a response.

"Don't worry about me for now,"

"I am fine."

"Report this matter to Her Majesty the Queen and request that the defenses of Sunwheel City be strengthened."

Yao Ji said in a low voice.

His tone had lost its previous firmness and tenacity.

The terrifying nightmare reappeared vividly before his eyes, and the realization that the lifeline he had prayed for had been pushed away by his own hands left him feeling utterly exhausted.

"Yes,"

"We will report this to Lady Himiko and increase patrols during the wedding."

"Please take care of yourself and don't overwork or blame yourself."

"We still exist on this land."

The soldiers' worries remained even after receiving a response.

However, they continued along with the woman's words, attributing her recent low spirits to letting the offender escape and to her exhaustion from preparing for the Queen's wedding.

Upon hearing this, Yao Ji did not reply.

He simply gripped the Moonblade in his hand very, very tightly.

A strong sense of resentment and despair washed over her like waves crashing against her ears, one after another, relentlessly pounding against her heart.

Faced with this premonition, I ultimately did nothing.

But, does losing potential support mean I should just continue down this slump?

【No,】

【don't want. 】

Absolutely not!

【I am Yao Ji, daughter of the Great General of Sunwheel City!】

My duty is to protect this land and to guard Her Majesty the Queen!

Therefore, no matter what nightmares may befall me, I will absolutely not compromise!!

"and many more,"

"I will go and report this to Her Majesty the Queen myself,"

"You shall now strengthen the defenses of Sunwheel City and summon all the pharmacists and healers in Sunwheel City to the General's Mansion to await orders."

Yao Ji suddenly raised her face and turned her body to the side in the direction the army had left.

There was no trace of sadness on her stunning face; only a resolute and decisive demeanor that commanded the respect of the surrounding soldiers.

The gods do not respond.

Even potential help has left me.

[Then I myself will become the hope of Sunwheel City!]

"Yes."

Seeing Lady Youji return to her former state, the surrounding soldiers of Sun Wheel Castle breathed a sigh of relief and responded loudly to the woman's command without any questioning.

Subsequently, wave after wave of cavalrymen charged off in all directions under the orders of their respective captains.

"I didn't expect you to have such a high reputation in Sunwheel City."

Just then, a voice filled with admiration reached the woman's ears.

The clarity of the words and their proximity startled Yao Ji, who immediately took a step back, turned to the side, and even adopted a fighting stance.

After all, an outsider had broken through his defenses and gotten close to him, yet he was unaware of it.

Such negligence is simply unforgivable!

If the other party intends to be hostile, then...

However, when she saw the appearance of the person who spoke, her entire mental sea was instantly engulfed by a raging storm of unlimited levels, and the Moon Halberd that she was holding tightly in her hand also began to loosen.

because,

"It's you,"

Yao Ji opened her mouth, but it was very difficult for her to squeeze out those two words.

Moreover, the complex and turbulent emotions contained within these two extremely simple words are clearly palpable.

The soldiers of Sunwheel Castle, who had not yet completely dispersed, naturally noticed their master's abrupt behavior. However, although worry still lingered in their eyes, they ultimately chose to remain silent and leave to carry out the tasks assigned to them.

Lady Youhime, who failed to defeat the offender, must be feeling a deep sense of resentment that is difficult to resolve.

Let Lady Youhime have some peace and quiet by herself for a while.

This is a sentiment that resonates in their hearts.

As she uttered words filled with complex emotions, Yao Ji suddenly seemed to remember something and turned to look in the direction of the Sun Wheel Castle soldiers.

She needed to explain to her subordinates that the foreign Onmyoji before them was not an enemy at the moment, and that they should not launch an attack rashly.

Before Yao Ji could speak, the soldiers of Nichirin Castle, noticing her gaze, bowed to their master and then pulled on the reins to obey her orders and leave.

This situation left him somewhat confused.

Did they not see the Onmyoji named Uchiha Ara?

Or,

The idea that the other person returned was merely a hallucination born of my own emotional turmoil.

A sudden thought arose in her heart, causing Yao Ji's state of mind to shake violently and become filled with doubt.

But clearly, I had already mentally prepared myself to face the nightmare alone, so why did I see him again, and even hear his voice?

[I didn't expect you to have such a high reputation in Sunwheel City.]

That's what he said.

The speech was clear and very close.

"It really is you,"

When Yao Ji tried to calm herself down and looked back, the person was indeed still standing in her field of vision.

For a moment, although she was still filled with immense emotions, her voice was much clearer and calmer than before.

[Secret Technique: Still Water Under a Clear Mirror]

Those weaker than the caster should not be observed.

Those knights from Sunwheel City were naturally much weaker than those from the wilderness.

"Next time, if there's anything you need, tell me earlier."

"Your repeated behavior is causing me a lot of distress."

Huang did not answer the woman's seemingly ridiculous question, but instead looked into her eyes and spoke to himself.

At the same time, his peripheral vision also caught sight of the crimson half of the magatama.

As it used its secret technique, "Mirror of Still Water," to gradually approach its opponent, it did not warn its master as it had before.

This could be due to the excessive energy consumed in resisting the progressive secret technique, 【Eternal Winter】, or it could be due to not anticipating the unique stealth method of 【Mirror Still Water】, or it could be due to not sensing that the master was in any real danger.

"You're not lying to me, are you?"

"To go and then return, that is how it is."

Yao Ji did not respond to the Onmyoji in front of her, as she was also talking about her own problems.

The two were never on the same wavelength.

Upon hearing Huang's rhetorical question, he suddenly felt an urge to burst out laughing, even though he was already annoyed.

He naturally understood that the woman did not mean that his return was fake, but rather that his feigned departure was a deception.

He pretended to leave, but in reality, he concealed his presence using a previous secret technique.
