"Then, I entrust half of my power to you," Senju said, piercing Nura Rihan's heart with a single strike. Although he was a spirit, under Senju's power, he quickly transformed into a Shinigami, his clothes changing rapidly. Then, a Zanpakuto appeared in his hand, and intense spiritual pressure surged into the sky, causing the bubble-like dream space to gradually collapse.

"Looks like it worked," Senju said, drawing her Zanpakuto and planting it in the ground. The space gradually calmed down. "What's the name of this sword?"

"A clear mirror, still water," Nura Rihan said, and the Zanpakuto in his hand hummed softly, "a sword capable of slaying those who possess it!"

"Mirror of Still Water, huh? It's similar to Bankai," Senju glanced at it and then understood the sword's power. Its basic ability was invisibility, and it also subtly countered Kyoka Suigetsu. It could slay the soul without harming the body, which was, of course, a standard feature of Zanpakuto.

Furthermore, the ultimate Bankai is 'Gogyo', which can gather all the powers that have recognized its existence, whether alive or dead. Nura Rihan then understood how to use Bankai. He tried it casually, and Senju saw his spiritual pressure increase by dozens of times.

"Looks good. Shall we return to the human world now?" Senju waved to the side, and a door appeared there. Nura Rihan nodded. "Then, I shall comply."

The two then pushed open the door and returned to the human world. Nura Rihan stretched and then raised his hand, revealing two large sake bowls. He looked at Senju earnestly and asked, "Would you like to drink a toast together?"

"No, no, no, this can't be drunk casually," Senju said weakly, shaking his head. He thought he must have dead fish eyes now. "I'm sorry, Nura, here, drinking from the same cup is a way for yokai to acknowledge each other, but where we're from, only married couples can drink from the same cup. Let's forget about it."

“Oh, so you’re from the mainland. I was also a member of the mainland in my past life. That’s quite surprising,” Nura Rihan reacted quickly, but still handed the wine dish to Senju. “Then let’s follow Chinese customs and have a drink!”

Chapter 1369 The Second Generation Returns

“Alright,” Senju nodded, took the wine dish, and then Nura Rihan poured the wine into it. The two smiled at each other, clinked their cups, and then drank the wine.

"Where are you going next? Are you going to find Hagoromo Gitsune now?" Senju waved his hand, and the sake dish disappeared. Nura Rihan shook his head. "No, I'm going back to the Nura Clan to tell my family about my resurrection, and then I'll go find Hagoromo Gitsune."

“The Nura Clan, huh? That’s quite a famous organization,” Senju nodded. “If you don’t mind, let me take a look around.”

"I couldn't be happier, but where is this?" Nura Rihan nodded, preparing to see where he was, while Senju took out his phone and brought up a map. "By the way, where is the Nura Clan? I can open the spatial portal over there directly."

"Are Shinigami really that powerful?" Nura Rihan was surprised, then looked at the phone speechlessly. The other person seemed a bit unreliable. "The main house's location is in Tokyo, Ukiyo-e Ward. Can you find it?"

“Well, after all, it’s necessary to travel between the Yin and Yang realms, so spatial techniques are quite normal,” Senju said while positioning the location. “Moreover, of the four major techniques of a Shinigami, Hakuzan Kisou, Hakuda, Kenjutsu, Kido, and Shunpo, you probably only know Kenjutsu, and you’re not very good at the others.”

"White-cut Demon Walk, how interesting," Nurarihyon Rihan said, stroking his chin with one eye closed. He understood the meaning of the words simply from the name. White-cut Demon Walk refers to hand-to-hand combat, swordsmanship goes without saying, the so-called Demon Path should be something like magic, and Shunpo should be a method of rapid movement.

"Alright, we've located a location with a similar aura to yours." Senju created a portal there, then pulled a book from his robes. "Here, take this. It contains the cultivation methods for the Four Great Techniques."

"Oh, such a precious manual actually..." Nura Rihan smiled as he glanced at the cover of the book, then choked. It clearly stated "Standard Textbook for First Year of Shinigami Academy," while Senju pretended not to see it.

"There are six grades in total. With your current spiritual pressure, you should be able to learn them quickly."

"Is that so?" Nura Rihan's expression was somewhat subtle, it felt like he was in elementary school! But seeing 'Aizen' walk through the door, he followed him inside, and then the two stopped in front of a large mansion. "This should be it, right?"

“That’s right, it’s that accurate,” Nura Rihan said in surprise, then, carrying his Zanpakuto, invited the Senju members inside. “Please, this is the Nura Clan’s headquarters.”

"Oh, a grand mansion, so this is the true form of that space," Senju said as he entered. He saw a cherry blossom tree just like the one in that space, and a small pond just like the one in the other. However, the mansion was still filled with a strong demonic aura, and there were quite a few kinds of demons inside. Nura Rihan strode in, "Everyone, I'm back!"

"Caw caw~" It seemed like a crow flew by. No one appeared around. The two looked at the bushes to one side and saw a group of stunned monsters squatting there. Then they looked to the other side and saw several humans looking around in the corridor outside the house. Then they saw two people with knives coming out of the gate.

"Second, Second Generation Lord?!" After a moment of stunned silence, the monsters in the bushes rushed over excitedly. It seemed that the voices had also been heard inside the mansion. With a commotion, hundreds of monsters burst out. The people on the other side were dumbfounded. "There are monsters here, and so many of them! No wonder it's called a monster mansion!"

"Lord of the Yokai!" One of the girls' eyes lit up, and a paper-cut figure appeared in her hand. "In the name of the Onmyoji of the Keikain family, Yokai, I, Keikain Yura, have come to exterminate you! Reveal yourself, Tanrou!"

"Don't disturb other people's reunion," Senju waved his hand, and the giant wolf that the paper had turned into a piece of paper fell into Senju's hand. "A shikigami, huh? But this is so low-level."

"It's not low-class at all!" Yura Hanakain glared angrily at Senju. "Give me back Tanrou right now!"

"Why did you all come out?!" A boy's scream came from inside the house, then he rushed out. Looking at the group of cheering monsters and his stunned friends, he scratched his head, then felt someone pat his head. "Lu Sheng, I'm back. Where's your mother?"

"Father?!" Hearing the familiar voice, Nura Rikuo stared blankly at the scene that only appeared in his dreams. "Am I dreaming?"

As the father and son were having a touching reunion, Senju noticed that Yura Kasaiin had a few more pieces of paper in her hand. With a wave of her hand, the paper pieces floated back into the girl's hand. "Here you go, little girl. Your attack methods are too limited."

"It's none of your business!" Yura, holding her shikigami, looked warily at the surrounding youkai and stood in front of her classmates. "You all stand behind me, I'll definitely get you out of here!"

"Hey, Rikuo, what's going on?!" Several classmates shouted. Rikuo wiped away his tears and was about to say something when his mother, Nura Wakana, came out of the house. She stared at Nura Rihan for a moment, then suddenly threw herself into his arms, "Waaah, you're back!"

“I’m back, Wakana,” Nura Rihan stroked his wife’s hair, looked around at his subordinates surrounding him, and then at the people next to him. “Rikuo, is this your friend?”

“Yes, Father,” Rikuo said anxiously. Nura Rihan smiled slightly, “Since you are Rikuo’s friend, then you are also a friend of the Nura Clan. Let’s have a drink together!”

"We would never stay with monsters!" Yura Keikain shouted, drawing angry glares from the surrounding monsters. Several students were frightened, but one boy, after overcoming his fear, became excited. "Oh, oh, oh, there really are monsters in the world! Rikuo, you're being too polite. If there were so many monsters, you should have told us sooner!"

"..." Everyone was speechless, unsure how to deal with this yokai fanatic. Just then, an old man with a very long head walked out of the house. "Oh, Rihan, you're back. And who is this?"

“This is Aizen Sousuke, the Shinigami. He’s the one who brought me back from that world,” Nura Rihan explained. The surrounding yokai immediately knelt down before Senju. “Thank you for saving the Second Hokage. From now on, you are our great benefactor!”

"Well, don't worry about it too much. Everyone's willing to help such a handsome guy," Senju said with a smile. The surrounding monsters nodded in agreement. Senju then looked at a corner. "Hmm? A rat? Such heavy resentment!"

Chapter 1370 Monsters, Onmyoji, and Death

"You still keep rats like this? That's not good!" As Senju spoke, a large rat floated over from a distance, struggling desperately in the air. Nura Rihan frowned as well. "This should be a member of the old rat group, but they shouldn't be allowed into the main family without being summoned. Do you recognize it?"

“Never seen them before, don’t recognize them,” the surrounding monsters shook their heads, then continued to shout, “But the old rat group has gone too far lately. They robbed the cat group of a street, and now they dare to send these rats into the mansion. They’re really courting death!”

“I see. It seems we need to investigate this thoroughly,” Nura Rihan nodded, while Senju shook his head. “The cat has been bullied by the mouse. This won’t do.”

"Well, the old rat group"

"But for the martial arts faction, the Cat Formation's defeat is inevitable," Nura Rihan shook his head as well, while Senju looked at him solemnly, "These rats have too many lives on their hands; I must intervene."

"Human life?! Then forget it. How dare they violate my orders? I will deal with them." Rihan shook his head, clapped his hands, and several yokai appeared beside him. "Go and investigate the Old Rat Group and bring back all the yokai who committed the murder!"

"Yes, Commander-in-Chief!" The several demons bowed and then withdrew. Senju nodded. "Then let me have a good look at Nura Rihan!"

"Youkai, don't pretend to be kind!" Yura Keikain protected several classmates while also looking at Senju warily. Senju shrugged, "This isn't pretending to be kind. One of my principles is that we can't wantonly harm intelligent beings. Humans and youkai are equal."

"This is impossible!" Yura shouted. "A yokai is a yokai, an enemy of humans..."

But Senju stopped arguing with her and instead looked at one of the girls, "Young lady, you seem to have something unclean about you. Do you often have nightmares?"

"Stop, you yokai! Parents and students, don't be fooled!" Yura Keikain weakly threatened, holding up her shikigami. Kana, the parent behind her, paused for a moment, then looked at Senju, "How do you know?"

“Well, just consider it a special ability. This kid also has a curse,” Senju looked at Rikuo, then tapped his forehead slightly, where a third eye appeared. “Heavenly Eye - Future Vision! Mirror? Come out here!”

Senju reached out into the void and, following the demonic aura emanating from Kana, grabbed a mirror. It was a purple mirror decorated with several small skulls. "A mirror demon, huh? Do you know it?"

"Let me go! Who are you?! How did you find me?!" the mirror shouted fiercely. It tried to release its yokai form, but Senju kept it tightly locked inside the mirror. After the surrounding yokai discussed it for a while, Senju learned that this was called 'Purple Mirror'. It had been expelled by an organization because it had attacked too many girls.

"It's him! That's the voice that's been haunting my dreams!" Kana took a step back in fright. Yura Hanakain blushed, realizing how incompetent she was for not noticing something amiss with her friend. Meanwhile, Kagami shouted, "Kana-chan, didn't we agree to play together? Your thirteenth birthday is coming up soon, and I'll come pick you up!"

"Behave yourself! How dare you call yourself the Purple Mirror? Aren't you afraid Purple will beat you to death?" Senju gripped the mirror tightly, and it became much more obedient. Its soul had been shattered by Senju, and now it was just an ancient mirror with demonic energy. Then Senju casually refined it and threw it to Kakaiin Yura, who was standing to the side. "Here, you can play with this. It can provide some defense, so-so."

"Who wants something from a yokai?!" Yura Kakaiin took a few steps and threw out four talismans. "Greedy Wolf, Prosperity Star, Martial Star, Integrity Star! Take them away!"

A wolf, a deer, a suit of armor, and a goldfish?! Or a koi fish?! The wolf and deer carried several students into the air and flew away. "Yura! Hmm??"

Several people shouted, and then they saw the deer and wolf fall to the ground and turn into paper pieces. Nura Rihan also spoke up, "Little Onmyoji girl from the Keikain family, don't be so nervous. You will be needed to participate in the following matters concerning the yokai of Kyoto."

"You yokai, what have you done?!" Keikain Yura, on the other hand, was quite upright and honest, looking at everyone warily. "Also, we'll handle the matter in Kyoto ourselves."

“No, little girl, let’s attend the meeting together tomorrow and convey our Nura Clan’s decision back to the Keikain family,” Nura Rihan said with a smile to Keikain Yura. “After all, she is the great yokai Hagoromo Gitsune, so we have an opportunity to join forces.”

"Hagoromo-Gitsune?!" The surrounding yokai gasped. Even the old man Nurarihyon was surprised. "Oh? Has Hagoromo-Gitsune escaped? I haven't heard anything about it. Could it be that the seal on Aoi Spiral Castle was quietly broken? That's unlikely. You mean, the little girl from Keikain?"

"How do you know about the Spiral Castle?!" Yura looked at Nurarihyon warily, then said solemnly, "With the Keikain family guarding it, the seal on the Spiral Castle is unbreakable!"

“That’s hard to say, Rihan. Where did you get this information from?” Nurarihyon asked his son. Senju raised his hand and said, “It was me. Nue, the son of Hagoromo Gitsune, is plotting his resurrection in Hell, so our Gotei 13 sent me here to stop him.”

"Oh, the son of Hagoromo-Gitsune. I didn't expect that after four hundred years, that Hagoromo-Gitsune is planning to have a child again," a strong demonic aura surged from Nurarihyon's body. "This time, we really need to take action."

"Wait, what are the Gotei 13?!" Yura asked, voicing everyone's question. Senji pointed to the numbers behind her. "The Gotei 13 is a secret organization established to maintain the stability of the underworld and specifically to fight against evil spirits in hell. I am the captain of the 5th Division, Aizen Sousuke. You can just call me Aizen."

"Visitors from the underworld?!" The surrounding people were shocked, and even the few yokai enthusiasts nearby fell silent. Senju smiled at everyone, "Don't worry, everyone will have a chance to go there. At that time..."

Who knows, maybe one day they'll become my colleague.

"Uh..." The people around were speechless for a moment. Senju continued, "Of course, I can handle Hagoromo Gitsune by myself. But I happened to run into Rihan's soul. He was my friend in my past life and he is also related to this matter, so I handed it over to him to handle."

Chapter 1371 Before the Banquet

"Oh? You sound quite strong, but still, you still have to rely on the power of our Nura Clan?" A treacherous Japanese man in period costume with only one large eye jumped out, pledging his loyalty to Rihan. "With the Second Hokage here, Hagoromo Gitsune and the like are nothing!"

“No, Aizen is stronger than me,” Rihan smiled and shook his head. “Without his help, I would still be just a ghost.”

"How is this possible? There's absolutely no one stronger than the Supreme Commander whose power overwhelms the world!" The surrounding demons erupted in chaos. Senju shook his head slightly. "While I don't need to be afraid, would you like to experience what spiritual pressure is?"

Then, Senju slowly began to emanate spiritual pressure. The surrounding demons felt the air was somewhat oppressive, and then their bodies felt very heavy.

“Stop, Aizen. There are many small demons here. They can’t withstand your spiritual pressure. Otherwise, my Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) will fall apart,” Rihan shook his head. Senju shrugged, and the spiritual pressure he was emitting instantly contracted. “Then forget it. But this one-eyed one, feel it properly!”

"Oh!!" One-Eyed was about to kneel down on the spot, but then Rihan appeared in front of him, blocking Senju's spiritual pressure. "One-Eyed is an old member of the Nura Clan, Aizen, give me some face."

“Alright, for the sake of the Face Fruit,” Senju shrugged and took a step back. “You guys continue, I’ll just watch from the sidelines.”

"Thump!" Ichimoku sat down on the ground, cold sweat pouring down his body. He looked at Rihan with excitement and exclaimed, "What profound fear! Luckily, the Supreme Commander was here, or I would have died tonight!"

"Well, let's just leave it at that," Nurarihyon slowly walked forward, clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention, "Tonight, to celebrate the resurrection of the second generation, it's a banquet, a banquet!"

"Oh!!" The yokai cheered, while Senju rolled his eyes. "Yokai really love banquets, huh? But this is definitely something to celebrate."

“Oh? It sounds like you know quite a few youkai, Aizen,” Rihan said with a hint of interest. Senju nodded and immediately started to exaggerate, “That’s right, I know a lot. It’s a youkai paradise called ‘Gensokyo’ that was built a thousand years ago. I’ve made quite a few friends there.”

“Is that so? But I’ve never heard of that,” Rihan thought for a moment, frowned, and then shook his head at Nurarihyon. “Besides, yokai can’t survive without fear. What’s wrong with them now?”

"Well, one of them could easily take on ten of you," Senju joked, then continued, "Their strength is beyond fear. The Sage of the Yokai and the Tyrant of the Flower are both at the pinnacle of the Yokai world."

“The one who stands at the pinnacle of the yokai, I can’t pretend I didn’t hear that,” Nurarihyon said calmly from the side, though his yokai aura was boiling over. The yokai around him were also making a fuss. Senju looked at him helplessly, “Grandpa, your current state is a little unreliable. As for their strength, let me give you a simple example.”

"Your power comes from human fear, doesn't it? But do you know where the fear of the Flower Tyrant I just mentioned comes from?" Senju looked at the breathless yokai around him. "Her fear comes from all the flowers, so she is also known as the Lord of Flowers in All Seasons. If you are in front of her, please do not harm the flowers!"

"The Lord of Flowers in All Seasons?!" The surrounding demons murmured to themselves, and then an image of a green-haired girl holding a parasol flashed in their minds. She smiled slightly at the demons, and a group of demons broke out in a cold sweat. Well, this was Senju spreading the information.

“There really are such people? I’ve been so ignorant,” Nurarihyon sighed, and Senju shrugged. “That’s why they’re deliberately cutting off information. But I can try inviting a few of them to the banquet. They love banquets.”

“That would be wonderful, to meet new friends,” Nurarihyon nodded, he was also very curious about the people at the top. Senju raised his hand, “Well, I hope you won’t be scared when the time comes, and I hope you have enough food and bars, Tente Korakuro!”

Using the shell of Kido, Senju communicated with the people of Gensokyo. They were pleasantly surprised to hear about the banquet in another world, and a lot of people immediately signed up, such as tabloid reporter Aya Shameimaru, the great thief Marisa, and the perpetually hungry Yuyuko.

In addition, there's Yakumo Yukari, who wants to investigate the situation of the yokai in the other world, accompanied by Yakumo Ran and Orange; Reimu, who came with Marisa; Alice, who came with Marisa; the fairies who came to join in the fun; Kochiya Sanae, who came to learn; and Hieda Akyuu, who came to record history, accompanied by Kamishirasawa Keine and Fujiwara no Mokou.

As for Kaguya's family? They're still playing video games. Kaguya is currently addicted to online games, the Scarlet Devil Mansion family is on vacation, and the others are busy with their own things.

The two parties agreed to proceed in one hour.

The banquet needed to be prepared, so everyone around got busy. The yokai who had been gathered there dispersed. Rihan Nura told Rikuo to spend time with his classmates while he went inside with several executives to discuss matters. His wife, Wakana Nura, accompanied him.

Yura looked helplessly at the monsters and her classmates, who were all ignoring her. Based on her experience from several encounters, she knew she was no match for these monsters. To protect her classmates, she had no choice but to endure it and stare intently at Rikuo.

After his initial excitement subsided, Lu Sheng could only manage a dry laugh. How was he supposed to smooth things over?! God, was dropping out the only option for him?!

Senju leaned against the wall, watching the yokai busily preparing for the banquet. There were so many different kinds of yokai here. Senju was collecting data on various yokai when he saw a warrior constantly harassing them. Unfortunately, the yokai didn't want to pay him any attention, so he looked at Senju, who was sitting idly to the side.

"Hello, I am Kiyotsugu Kiyojuchi, the leader of the Kiyojuchi Strange Detective Club. May I ask you some questions about yokai?" The boy spoke in a reporter's tone, and Senju thought he and Aya Shameimaru would get along very well!

"Hmm?" Senju looked over. This classmate looked like a black-haired version of Shinji, but his heart was much better. It's a pity that his luck was similar to Shinji's. He lacked talent in the field he wanted most. If Senju hadn't appeared, he would have ignored even a yokai standing in front of him! "Alright, but I'm not a yokai, but a Shinigami. I don't know much either."

Chapter 1372 The Power of Death

"Oh, oh, oh," Kiyotsugu Kiyojushi exclaimed excitedly as he saw Senju nod. "First of all, how many yokai are there in this world? And how can we find yokai in everyday life?!"
