I transformed into a demonic spider lily.

"The other shore flower asked directly."

"Fifty years. You disappeared for fifty years after you entered 'Confucius'."

Ibuki replied with a single sentence.

"How are things going? Is there anything important you need to tell me? Where's Natsume Reiko? Is she still there? How far have you progressed in developing your territory?"

A series of questions came from the other shore flower.

This was completely different from the cold and aloof spider lily that Ibuki Madara remembered, which gave him a headache. He was much more accepting of the decisive and taciturn person he knew before.

"Let's explain these issues when we get back."

Ibuki Madara covered his head with his hands, not wanting to listen to Higanbana's continued rambling.

Returning to her familiar homeland, the forest of Tokyo Bay, Higanbana looked at the empty area again. The mountain peak where she originally lived was actually occupied by Gakusanjin, but after she took him to the underworld, it naturally became empty.

The answer to this question has finally been found for the red spider lily.

The fewer doubts you have, the less frustrated you will feel.

When news of the return of the spider lily reached the forest, a large number of monsters gathered.

"Tsukiyo-maru, Kinkaku, Ginkaku, and Ameonna, you're all here too."

The red spider lily turned around and saw many familiar faces.

"It's been five hundred years since I last saw you, but you still look almost exactly the same as before."

The two calamities, gold and silver, surrounded them.

The red spider lily did not take away these monsters, and as a result, they lived freely for hundreds of years.

Five hundred years have passed, allowing these leader-level monsters to rise to even higher levels.

However, it wasn't entirely complete; it likely utilized the concept of "fear."

After all, great demons are not beings that can be created simply by time.

"Ah! Tsukiyomaru, why is your wife still human? Could it be..."

Yukiji noticed that the woman next to Tsukiyomaru was, as the name suggests, human. Humans have lifespans, so in other words, this was a woman he had found in recent years.

Harem man? Beat him!

"...Miss Yukiji, thank you for your concern. It's been five hundred years since we last met, and you're still the same as before."

The woman nestled in Tsukiyo Maru's arms and said.

"You know me?"

Xuelu couldn't help but ask in surprise.

"After that, the fox demon with the broken ears from Tushan introduced us to a business, so I went to Shenzhou to handle it."

Yueye Maru was referring to the Bitter Love Tree of Tushan.

"Tushan?"

Xue Lu took out a crystal from her bosom, which was the token that Tu Shan Hong Hong had given her.

It seems she'll have to find some time to go and take a look.

[Real Name: Human-Faced Tree (SR)]

The human-faced tree approached and surrounded the bellflower.

"I feel like it's familiar."

The bellflower stroked the tree with the human face, but couldn't figure it out.

"These are the roots of the Sacred Tree."

The red spider lily explained

"Huh? Who, who chopped it up like this!"

Kikyo was immediately startled, knowing that she was the one who had protected the Sacred Tree.

"I don't know, that person is probably long dead."

Higanbana shrugged and said, then added, "Where did Natsume Reiko go again? And what about Kakeru, is he on a business trip?"

"Reiko has already stepped down to her grandson, and Jue Ze is now in charge to resolve a recent incident..."

The demon Sanshin recounted the recent problems one by one.

Chapter 557 Seven People Traveling Together [4K]

……

Ota Ward, Tokyo.

Two figures stood in front of a quiet street.

"Is this the scene of the Iron Rat Group's murder? Sure enough, there are several unusual demonic auras."

The young man in the lead held a short sword, and his red pupils paired with his long, black and white hair resembled those of Nurarihyon from back then.

“Young Master, we must be careful. Although the other officers investigated this area during the day, there’s no guarantee that the monsters who made the attack won’t turn back.”

Bingli followed behind, remaining vigilant about her surroundings.

call!

The long, narrow shadow moved through the rugged streets and arrived in front of Nura Rikuo in an instant.

Dog bite!

He opened his mouth wide and tried to bite Nura Rikuo.

clang!

Nura Rikuo swiftly drew his sword to block.

Ice pick puncture!

Bingli immediately took action and repelled the hostile enemy.

The shadow revealed its face, which was the head of a dog.

It had no torso; below the neck was a gray fog.

"You are the murderer?"

Rikuo Nura confirmed this conclusion by comparing the remaining demonic energy at the crime scene.

"Young master, be careful, it's 'Inugami'."

Bingli stared intently at the dog-headed monster in front of her.

These monsters, born from the obsession formed by resentment and desire, possess immense power because they draw strength from the malice of the human heart.

This also explains his cruel nature and extraordinary power.

"..."

Inugami remained silent, simply obeying Yusho's orders to eliminate Hyori along with Nura Rikuo.

With the death of the young lord of the Nura Clan, the Night Parade of One Hundred Demons will be thrown into chaos.

call!

It was a ghostly figure, moving with incredible speed.

All that could be seen was a gray, demonic aura.

—Ice Shield!

Bingli couldn't detect the opponent's movements with the naked eye, so she could only defend herself.

"Jie Jie Jie..."

Inugami's sinister laughter rang out.

Above!

Rikuo Nura found the right spot and struck with his sword.

Inugami, however, wrapped the blade around Nura Rikuo's arm and then bit down hard.

The bloodstains spread widely.

This unusual fighting style made Nura Rikuo feel extremely troubled. As a half-demon child, he only had a quarter of demon blood to strengthen himself, so he could only exert very little of the power he inherited. Moreover, he had only been learning to use demon magic for less than three months.

"Young Master, you leave first, let me deal with him!"

Bingli stopped the dog god on her own, but her strength was much weaker than the latter's, and she was suppressed in just a few minutes.

The chilling aura could not spread; it was gathered into a ball by the power of the Inugami and was finally forcibly broken.
