Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

"Her whereabouts are currently unknown."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro said without any surprise, "She is powerful, so it's normal that we can't pinpoint her location."

What if she doesn't come?

Haruhiko asked thoughtfully.

"It's actually more convenient if you don't come."

Seeing his expression, Tsuchimikado Mashiro patted his head and said, "I didn't intend to kill her with this opportunity. As long as the ritual is carried out, it will confirm the Utsunomiya clan's crime of colluding with the demons and indiscriminately killing innocent people."

Haruhiko understood.

Going to war directly involves too many interests.

It would be better to proceed slowly and gradually weaken Mina Utsunomiya.

But this method is actually the cruelest.

The car stopped in Musashi Hill Forest Park in Saitama Prefecture.

Because they were worried about being discovered by the Utsunomiya clan, they chose an extremely secluded location.

Haruhiko was pondering a question.

This is what we previously speculated.

Mina Utsunomiya's elaborate efforts may not have been aimed at helping her son, Shogo Utsunomiya, resolve his spiritual affliction.

"You said you weren't nervous, but you're still so nervous. You're just like a child."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro hugged Haruhiko from behind and gently stroked his head.

She made full use of the stunt double's amazing height, making the scene look quite harmonious.

It was as if an eight-foot-tall adult had encountered her prey.

Haruhiko felt as if he were wrapped in the softest blankets, surrounded by incredibly fleshy textures.

Especially the two oversized headlights on the roof, which are far beyond normal specifications.

"I'm not nervous."

Haruhiko shook his head and said.

His movements produced a very elastic sound.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro suddenly realized something and quickly let go of his hand.

A slight blush appeared on her delicate face beneath the golden veil.

"Hmph, stubborn kids won't get your aunt's favor."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro retaliated by vigorously rubbing his head.

Haruhiko rolled his eyes at her.

Just you wait, I'll torture your true form properly next time.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro noticed his threatening gaze, but instead laughed even harder.

They had been suffering setbacks for a long time, but now they have finally won everything back.

Just very happy.

"Owner."

Tsuchimikado Mari walked over, interrupting their friendly interaction.

"Any new developments?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro released Haruhiko's head and asked, "Is it about Utsunomiya Mina's whereabouts?"

"No."

Tsuchimikado Mari replied calmly, "It is Yagyu Kensuke who has begun setting up the magic array."

"Is it possible that Mina Utsunomiya is really not coming?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro looked somewhat disappointed.

She wanted to see the woman's ugly expression in person.

"Given her personality, if she knew there was danger, she might back down."

Mari Tsuchimikado said thoughtfully.

“If we really back down, there’s no reason to let the ceremony continue.”

Tsuchimikado Mashiro's face showed deep thought, and he said with certainty, "This woman must have other plans."

"What to do now?"

Tsuchimikado Mari did not doubt her judgment and asked.

"Inform Tsuchimikado Ayaka to have her lead a team to thoroughly examine the nearby spiritual veins."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro instructed, "Whatever Utsunomiya Mina's plans are, they will be related to the spiritual veins."

Having served as the head of the family for so many years, she naturally has her own trusted confidants.

Moreover, given that the Utsunomiya and Yagyu clans are involved, she wouldn't underestimate them and go alone.

Mari Tsuchimikado nodded and took out her phone.

After the phone call ended, the three of them entered the Musashi Hill Forest Park.

It's the same lake as last time.

But at this moment, all the lake water floated to the surface and was suspended in the air.

Above the spiritual vein, a group of people were busy setting up a magic array.

Gradually, the pattern took shape, revealing itself to be a black, writhing mass of flesh.

One look at it and I felt like I was losing my mind.

"It's an Otherworldly Demon."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro frowned and said, "For human psychics, the Absolute Spirit Body is like terminal cancer. Normal methods can no longer cure it, unless a completely different system from humans is introduced, which is the Otherworldly Demon."

As Haruhiko listened, he glanced at the crowd in the distance.

He recognized two people: Yagyu Kensuke and Utsunomiya Shogo.

The former was giving instructions with a calm expression.

The latter was so excited that his body trembled.

For many years, he was trapped by his Spirit Absolute Body and unable to cultivate, so he gave up on himself and became a notorious playboy.

Unexpectedly, not long ago, his mother told him that it could be resolved.

The only side effect is that it may turn you into a demon.

A moment later, the magic array was set up.

Yagyu Kensuke raised his hand, and spiritual energy surged into the ground.

Suddenly, numerous black specks of light floated up, looking like extinguished stars.

Guided by Yagyu Kensuke, the points of light flew rapidly, creating a chaotic meteor shower.

Soon, a map of the galaxy took shape.

This signifies that the magic array has officially begun operating.

Chapter 108. The Rising Dragon Ceremony

"Changgo."

Yagyu Kensuke withdrew his hand and said, "You can go in now."

Shogo Utsunomiya stared intently at the magic circle.

After receiving permission from Yagyu Kensuke, he practically ran to the center of the magic circle.

He was too preoccupied with nothing else to say thank you.

His eyes were full of longing and anticipation.

His expression twisted, he clenched his fists and said, "Kamō Taro, you guys just wait, I will definitely wash away this humiliation!"

Because he was unable to cultivate, he was ridiculed and belittled by his peers from childhood to adulthood.

Over time, this made his personality increasingly violent.

Now that he has the opportunity, he is already planning how to torture and take revenge on them.

"Changgo."

A hint of disdain flashed in Yagyu Kensuke's eyes. "The Rising Dragon Ceremony needs to last for half an hour to completely transform your physique."
