Tokyo: Starting with the Shrine Maiden

Especially a trap set by a fifth-tier psychic.

All three of them are fifth-tier psionicists; it should be impossible to hide anything from them at the same level.

Tsuchimikado Mashiro smiled faintly.

This trap is extraordinary; it can be considered the ultimate trap of the Tsuchimikado clan.

It was passed down from Abe no Seimei.

Nine Palaces Yin-Yang Array.

The reason she wanted to cooperate with the fifteen factions of the Imperial Palace was because she needed enough manpower.

Then lure them with ruins, and no one can escape.

"Many details cannot be observed from above."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro spoke up, "Let's go downstairs."

Kaneda Yu nodded.

Although his expression remained unchanged, he was already very vigilant inside.

It's time to bring out whatever tricks Tsuchimikado Mashiro has up her sleeve.

The same applies to Ashiya Dōman and Satsuki.

The eight people landed slowly.

Just then, a violent surge of psionic energy came from the left.

Kaneda Yu, Ashiya Doman, and Satsuki were all taken aback and somewhat confused.

Judging from the psionic fluctuations, they were at least a kilometer away from them.

If it's a trap, this seems too illogical.

A normal trap should be activated suddenly without the prey noticing.

Such obvious psionic fluctuations are obvious; even a fool could see them.

"what happened?"

Kaneda asked.

"Judging from the psionic attribute, it is probably Ito."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro casually remarked, "Perhaps they encountered some kind of enemy."

Kaneda raised an eyebrow.

Is it unrelated to the trap?

He suppressed his doubts and walked among the palace walls.

The palace's style and design, inspired by a thousand years ago, are quite antique.

Soon, intense psionic fluctuations were heard again in the distance.

"Looks like we're lucky."

Jin Tianxiong looked up, but it was too far away to see the specific situation clearly.

Immediately afterwards, psionic energy fluctuations also spread outwards from the south.

Ashiya Doman and Satsuki exchanged a glance, both understanding each other's thoughts.

There's no need to waste any more time; let's get started now.

"Head of the Tsuchimikado family."

Ashiya Dōman suddenly spoke.

“I remember your name is Takano Kouta.”

Tsuchimikado Mashiro's heart skipped a beat, and she asked calmly, "Is there something you need?"

"I see that you, patriarch, are quite familiar with this ruin. Have you been here before?"

Ashiya Dōman asked the question bluntly.

If he really is Takano Kouta, then this issue has already offended the Tsuchimikado clan.

Given Kaneda Yu's personality, he would have definitely tried to stop it, but he didn't.

"Are you so interested in spouting nonsense?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro suddenly laughed and asked.

"There's really no need to waste any more words."

Ashiya Dōman's face darkened, and he said.

Two figures landed in front of him; they were the fifth-tier psychic from the Serpent Spirit.

The group immediately separated.

Everyone already knew the truth, so they formed their own camps with great tacit understanding.

"At this point, are you two still going to hide your identities?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro ignored the two newly arrived fifth-tier psychic.

Ashiya Dōman and Satsuki also removed their disguises.

The former is something everyone has seen and anticipated, so it's not surprising.

But the latter was truly unexpected.

"Oh it's you."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro's face showed a look of realization, "May, Kaneda Yu's teacher."

Of course, there was one more thing she didn't mention: the Otherworldly Demon.

Because she was waiting for the Nine Palaces Yin-Yang Formation to be fully formed.

Each previous fluctuation of spiritual energy represented the activation of a formation.

The nine palaces represent nine palaces.

"Nice to meet you."

May smiled and cupped her hands in greeting.

He did not self-destruct.

If we can resolve this using May's identity, that would be best.

Once people find out about the identity of the Otherworldly Demon, there might be problems with certain people in the Edo Archaeological Bureau.

Not everyone wants to be ruled by the demons.

Another loud bang came from afar.

"They shouldn't be in trouble."

Ashiya Dōman had already realized what was happening and asked, "This is the trap you prepared? Some kind of magic array?"

"As expected of the famous Ashiya Dōman."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro said with some emotion, "You are frequently mentioned in the records left by our ancestors."

Ashiya Dōman fell silent.

Her ancestor was, of course, Abe no Seimei.

The ancients have passed away, and now they face their descendants again. Isn't this a kind of reincarnation?

"So, there are only five of you fifth-tier psionicists?"

Tsuchimikado Mashiro glanced around and asked.

"Are you really that confident? Based on my understanding of Abe no Seimei, his magic array, though powerful, is ultimately only at the fifth level."

Ashiya Dōman frowned and said.

"good."

Tsuchimikado Mashiro did not deny it.

However, Abe no Seimei had a method to become a god.

She used incense and incantations, combined with the Nine Palaces Yin-Yang Array, and gathered the power of many high-level spiritualists from the Imperial Palace to set up this earth-shattering array.

Magic arrays have their limits.

While it can amplify the effects of spells, it is impossible to fully control the power of the spellcaster.

Simply put, sometimes a formation with a hundred people is not as effective as a formation with ten people.

Because ten people can fully utilize all their power, while a hundred people would not only be a waste, but would also make the magic circle bloated.

Ashiya Dōman's words just now were based on this theory.

Just then, the last psionic fluctuations were felt.

It was a magic sword in Tsuchimikado Mashiro's hand.
