After getting to know Zhang Zhao's advisor, he took everyone on a tour of the Celestial Master's Mansion. After the tour, he led everyone to the activity venue, which was the back mountain of the Celestial Master's Mansion.
"Ah, is there really a road? I don't want to walk anymore." After walking for a short while, Gabriel, whose physical functions were declining across the board due to lethargy, quickly ran out of energy. She sat on a rock and said weakly.
"Indeed, this place is really awful." September said, hugging her big tail covered in leaves and twigs, somewhat annoyed.
Although clearing away the leaves was a hassle, thankfully she didn't encounter any burrs, otherwise she would have really lost her temper.
"There's nothing we can do. The so-called back mountain is actually an undeveloped area. And if it were developed, this place would no longer be under the jurisdiction of our Celestial Master's Mansion," Zhang Zhao said with a shrug.
He knew the miserable state of other sects' bases after they were completely developed; even if they wanted to cultivate, they couldn't find a place to do so.
In comparison, their Celestial Master's Mansion is already much better.
"September, can't you retract your tail? Retract it for now," Vinette said, looking at September who was constantly cleaning her tail.
"What kind of fox spirit is a fox spirit without a tail?" September said confidently.
“…Forget it, you brought this on yourself,” Winette said, rolling her eyes.
"Sweetie, put your tail back for now, or it'll be troublesome if it gets burdock on it later." At this moment, Tsuchimikado Fuyu rubbed her head and said.
September blushed a little at the sudden head pat, nodded shyly, and obediently retracted her tail.
Seeing the two suddenly showing off their affection, Zhang Zhao was speechless. Goodness, can you guys take care of me, a single dog?
And Dongjun, you're too amazing! You've only just arrived in China and you've already found a girlfriend?
But... what's with the end of September? How could it be brought back? Is it some kind of high-tech thing? Even spying requires this much technology now?
Although Zhang Zhao had many questions in his mind, he didn't ask them, and even if he did, there was no guarantee that anyone would answer them.
On the other side, Winette also had to go through a lot of trouble to coax Gabriel, and then pulled the reluctant girl to continue walking up the mountain.
When she saw Tsuchimikado and Fuyu next to her, who were showing off their affection, she suddenly felt a pang of jealousy.
This is so hard for me!
Just then, her other hand was suddenly grabbed. Turning around, she saw Tsuchimikado Fuyu smiling and saying, "Let's go."
"Mmm." Vinette blushed slightly, and together with Gabriel, Tsuchimikado Fuyu and September, they walked hand in hand up the mountain.
"...I shouldn't have come, really, I shouldn't have invited you." Seeing this scene, Zhang Zhao was struck dumb, regretfully pounding the tree trunk next to him and shouting angrily.
However, he never expected that even so, there would still be people who didn't intend to let him go. Raphiel's last words were like the last straw that broke the camel's back, completely devastating him.
"Honestly, Fuyu-kun is so biased. He still has me on his side!"
Chapter 952 Crossing the Bridge
At the summit, a long canyon stretches across the middle, splitting the mountain in two.
There are several wooden stakes on each side of the canyon, with a rope tied to each stake. These five long rope bridges are the only way to the other side, and they look extremely dangerous.
When Tsuchimikado and his group arrived, Zhang Chulan and his group of four were still there. Upon seeing them, Xu Si waved to them, "Oh, you guys are also participating in the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony?"
"We came here to watch the fun. By the way, why aren't you leaving?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said with a smile.
"Wait a little longer, wait a little longer." Zhang Chulan smiled and said dejectedly, "By the way, what are you guys planning to do?"
"How do we get across? Walk, of course. You can't exactly fly across, can you!" Zhang Zhao shrugged and said, "I've been walking this thing since I was a kid."
Zhang Zhao was able to lead Tsuchimikado and the others down this path because he believed they could also make it.
After all, Raphiel and the others didn't know about each other's strength, but Tsuchimikado Fuyu and Himezuki were definitely stronger than themselves.
Moreover, Tsuchimikado Fuyu has so many amazing shikigami, so taking a few people with him shouldn't be a problem.
"Senior brother." At this moment, the young Taoist priest in charge of this level saw Zhang Zhao coming over and greeted him with a smile.
"Oh, it's Xiaomingzi. Why did your senior uncle put you in charge of this place all by yourself?"
“Master naturally has his own things to do.”
"I think he went to slack off."
"Hehe." The other party smiled without saying anything. He had no objection to his master's arrangement, especially since this wasn't the first time his master had done this.
"Oh my god! The Celestial Master's Mansion is full of useless stuff." Just then, a voice from a man from Northeast China came from behind them.
Everyone turned to look, and saw two men and a woman standing in front of them.
The two men had completely different styles: one was a burly man from Northeast China wearing a gold chain and eating instant noodles, and the other was a refined gentleman with blond hair, wearing a suit and tie.
The woman, however, clung to the burly man's arm and said in a thick Northeastern accent, "Brother, eat slowly, don't choke."
"You've eaten so many bowls of food on this journey, are you really that hungry?" the man in the suit said with disdain.
"Wow! What a rare sight! Aren't these the Deng Youfu and Deng Youcai brothers?" Xu Si said with a smile.
"What Deng Youfu? Please call me Smith," the man in the suit said with a displeased expression.
"Oh my god, come on! Smith? You're just pretending. No matter how much you try to act cool, you still grew up eating food that your parents dug out of the black soil. Don't forget that, okay?" the burly man from Northeast China lectured.
“Everyone has the right to choose their own way of life. This isn’t the era of superhumans anymore.” Deng Youfu turned around, wanting to argue, but his older brother didn’t give him the chance, only saying disdainfully:
"Alright, alright, I won't argue with you. My parents are counting on us to make them proud. Little sister, hold on tight to your brother."
"Okay, bro, mwah." The girl had just hugged Deng Youcai when he threw down the instant noodle box, kicked off with both feet, and flew out, instantly arriving on the other side.
Not to be outdone, Deng Youfu quickly followed.
"Third son, fourth son, let's chat when we meet again!"
After saying that, the three of them continued walking forward.
"It doesn't seem too difficult!" Satania said confidently, hands on her hips, looking at the other person's relaxed expression.
Zhang Chulan looked at Satania speechlessly. "Are you kidding me? If you're so capable, stop bragging and just jump over like them!"
"Alright, stop fooling around, let's go over there." Tsuchimikado Tou rolled her eyes at her and said, "Are you planning to have me take you there, or are you going to go by yourselves?"
"Take..." Upon hearing this, everyone seemed to realize something, and they all blushed and shook their heads, "Let's go by ourselves."
Only Raphiel smiled and hugged Tsuchimikado Fuyu's arm, "Since none of you want it, then I won't be polite."
"I have a feeling you guys are getting the wrong idea?" Tsuchimikado Fuyu said speechlessly, looking at everyone's embarrassed expressions.
He didn't say he was going to carry them over. Raphiel and the others are one thing, but Gabriel and Satania aren't his girlfriends, so why would he carry them for no reason?
Besides, even if no one minds, it would be too much trouble to carry them one by one. Why not just have the Great Tengu send them over in a gust of wind?
However, since everyone had refused, Tsuchimikado Fuyu was too lazy to explain to them. Besides, Raphiel had already hugged him, so how could he refuse her?
On the other side, Xu San, Xu Si, and the others also looked at Tsuchimikado and his group with curiosity. It seemed that these foreign friends were not ordinary people either.
Especially those two, Tsuchimikado... Heh, a Japanese Onmyoji family?
It seems I'll get to see the legendary Onmyoji today.
It's worth mentioning that although Japan and China still have a strained relationship and have experienced a war, the two sides fought a relatively even battle, and Japan was unable to truly invade.
The conflict in China was more of an internal war between feudal forces and new ideas.
As for the world of supernatural beings, no fighting broke out. The Jia Shen Rebellion occurred in the world of supernatural beings in China, and a major change also took place in Japan, which not only crippled the various Onmyoji families, but also caused heavy losses to the samurai and ninja families.
(Don't worry about this; it's just a background setting and there's no plot development in this regard.)
It was precisely because of this that Xu San and Xu Si did not have any ill feelings towards Tsuchimikado and others, and that Daoist Wang Ye referred to them as foreign friends.
Just as Tsuchimikado and the others were about to make their move, another voice came from behind them.
"Daughter, Daddy can let go now!" A man's gruff voice rang out. Everyone looked over and saw a fat man grabbing a little girl by the collar and throwing her away violently. "Go!"
"Hahaha!" The little girl's cheerful laughter echoed as she flew through the air.
"Hahaha, Dad's here too." With that, the fat man charged forward and jumped out.
Unfortunately, despite the speed and style, a pair of beautiful legs slammed into his face, kicking him away. "Wife, I was wrong!"
A sophisticated woman in a red suit landed beside her daughter and shouted down the cliff, "If you dare to play with my daughter like a discus again, I'll skin you alive!"
Seeing this, Zhang Chulan was stunned. Could even a little girl get past so easily?
"Let's go too, see you later." Tsuchimikado and the others exchanged glances and then said to Zhang Chulan and the others.
After saying that, to the astonishment of Zhang Chulan and the others, Satania and Vinette suddenly had a pair of black wings appear behind them, while Gabriel had a pair of white wings appear behind her, and then they easily flew away.
"Wow... they really did fly there." Not only were Zhang Chulan and the others stunned, but even Zhang Zhao was dumbfounded. Goodness, it turns out that the people present were not ordinary people.
"Oh dear, I'll go too." With that, Erkoya lightly jumped to the other side, her leisurely stroll surprising everyone.
"Fourth Brother (Wang Dong), I'm leaving first too." Tsuchimikado Himeki and Jiuyue were the most normal, because they simply ran across by stepping on the rope.
"Well then, see you later!" Tsuchimikado Fuyu also took out his phone and, to everyone's surprise, summoned the Great Tengu. At the same time, he entered possession mode, picked up Raphiel, and flew over.
"What...what is this?" Zhang Chulan asked in surprise upon seeing this scene.
"Is this what Japanese shikigami are? But they look a little different from what's in the information," Xu San said.
"Haha, seeing is believing, but I didn't expect him to summon it with his phone? That's a bit too modern," Xu Si said.
Chapter 953 Satania's Plan
"Is this the venue for this event? The atmosphere looks pretty good!" Soon, the group arrived at their destination, and looking at the bustling arena ahead, Satania commented earnestly.
Yes, in her mind, this event was a grand celebration to mark her arrival, so naturally the more people the better.
"Hehe, the atmosphere is great! This Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is probably the most lively one I've ever seen."
"In the past, these events were all held internally by our Celestial Master's Mansion. Even when guests came, we wouldn't have this many people. It was just one or two people from each sect coming to exchange ideas," Zhang Zhao explained.
"I see. But what's the main event today? Is there a performance?" Apart from Tsuchimikado Fuyu, the others were still a bit confused about the event, so Winette asked.
"Haha, today is not a performance. Sorry, I forgot to tell you. This Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is mainly for a martial arts competition to select the next generation of Heavenly Master successors."
There's also a generous prize, so most people are here for that.
"So, does that mean there will be a battle later?" Satania asked, her eyes lighting up.
However, she wasn't happy because she could see a battle scene. Instead, she imagined a group of warriors competing for the title of hero, and the winner would be qualified to challenge her, the demon king.
Thinking of this, Satania felt a surge of pride and burst into laughter, attracting frequent glances from those around her. This guy... is he an idiot?
Meanwhile, Tsuchimikado and the others rolled their eyes in exasperation. Knowing Satania as they did, they were sure this guy was thinking about some pointless things again, or even some pointless schemes that were doomed to fail.
As everyone guessed, Satania suddenly had a flash of inspiration and a "good idea" popped into her head.
"Wait, just passively accepting the challenge of the hero is really not in line with my title as the most ferocious demon king in history. If I could infiltrate the selection process and win the championship myself in the end..."
