"Well, I am, after all, the lord of demons and monsters, so I have all sorts of subordinates," Nurarihyon said calmly, then looked at the big rat shouting, "The Second Hokage is a fake, let's all kill the Third Hokage brat and become the new Nura Clan general!" "But anyone who dares to covet my precious grandson must die!"

"Old rats, huh? These guys really don't know how to change their ways. They actually dared to violate my prohibition," Rihan also came out of the house, with Nura Wakana following happily. Senju actually admired this mother very much. Her heart was so kind and pure. She had lived among the yokai for more than ten years and still hadn't changed her personality.

"Second, Second Generation Lord!!" The big rat of the Old Rat Group was stunned by Rihan's appearance. Senju silently complained to himself, "The term 'Second Generation' is a bit out of place for me."

Next came the execution time. Senju was too lazy to watch the rat-killing activity, so she went to Rikuo's side and found them playing the monster card game. Kiyotsugu was fast asleep on the side, while Yura was sulking, and Rikuo was apologizing.

"Oh, it seems you're having a great time," Senju said, a mischievous glint in his eyes. "By the way, since we've met, it must be fate. I'll give you a gift."

"Is this another gift that shortens your lifespan?" Yura said sarcastically. Senju shook her head. "How could that be? I prepared something that many students desperately want. It's absolutely safe. Once you get this, you'll be unstoppable in exams."

"Oh, oh, oh, that sounds amazing! What kind of gift is it?!" The blond-haired idiot seemed very happy, and the other girls also perked up their ears. With a wave of his hand, a pile of books appeared on the ground. "Look at this, 'Five Years of College Entrance Examination, Ten Years of Simulation,' it has all the questions from junior high to university. After reading this, everyone can successfully get into a famous university!"

"Uh..." A group of students were speechless for a few seconds. Indeed, many students liked this, but they still politely declined. "Hahaha, let's play cards! Asking for gifts is too much!"

While the others chuckled awkwardly, Yura began to examine the book seriously. Senju casually handed one to Rikuo, asking, "How's your studying lately? How were your exam results?"

"Well, hahaha," Rikuo didn't know how to answer the 'Grim Reaper's' question, so he could only laugh awkwardly and flip through his book. Senju, on the other hand, was talking about his exam experience. The group felt that the Grim Reaper's aura had changed a lot. If they didn't know better, they would think he was a nice senior.

"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, these are very important study materials with high reference value," Yura nodded after flipping through several books, and Senju shrugged.

He shrugged, “Compared to Yin-Yang arts, this is the knowledge that can truly propel humanity forward. One day, humanity will be able to trample all gods, ghosts, demons, and monsters underfoot.”

"Uh..." The people around were speechless for a moment, then hurriedly waved their hands, "How is that possible? How can humans defeat monsters?"

"Heh," Senju looked at the group, "You have no idea how ruthless humans are. Look up modern weapons. Can a monster withstand a thermobaric bomb? One nuclear bomb and even the most powerful monster would die."

“Uh, you can’t calculate it like that,” the group said helplessly, with Yura shaking her head frantically. “We’re trying to exterminate monsters to see what an Onmyoji is like. How could an ordinary person carry weapons like that?!”

"Hey, this is clearly about studying, why are you bringing that up?" Rikuo said with a dry laugh. He finally understood why yokai had to hide. Yura nodded and started urging her classmates to study hard. The others were speechless for a moment. After nudging each other, the blond idiot spoke up, "Um, Lord Grim Reaper, what's the world like over there?"

Chapter 1376 Fullbring

“Over there, the environment is varied. Some of the better places look similar to the forests outside, but most of them are still barren and desolate, like miasma forests, thorny rock piles, lava pools, and so on, where there are many demons and ghosts,” Senju shook his head with a heavy expression. “Although our Gotei 13 occupies a piece of land, it is still too small for the entire underworld.”

“Such a dangerous world? I thought the world over there would be very peaceful,” Rikuo said with a hint of surprise. Senju shook her head. “Of course there are peaceful places too. The underworld is an eternal place of death, but you’ll be going to the Yellow Springs in the future, so the scenery there isn’t very nice.”

As he spoke, a ball of light appeared in front of him, displaying the scene of him slaying hellish monsters. "Look, this is the scene of my colleague clearing away evil spirits."

"Is that world so dangerous? What should we do?!" Looking at the world full of lava and imps, a girl with long yellow hair asked anxiously. Yura also looked very serious. "This is the underworld. It's a very dangerous place."

"Well, don't worry too much. Besides us, there are many other shrines that are projections over there that can also protect the souls that are sleeping," Senju said casually. The group breathed a sigh of relief. They decided to go back and pray to the gods more often. Yura nodded as well, looking much more relaxed. "Some families can also protect souls in that world. Our ancestors from the Kakeruin family are on the other side. We can use their spiritual power."

“And if you do more good deeds, your souls will be treated well in the future,” Senju said, then remembered something and took out a few beads and handed them to the group. “By the way, take me to visit the shrines around here tomorrow. These are my thanks to you.”

"What is this?" the group asked curiously. Senju explained, "This is the seed of Fullbring. It transforms one's most cherished possession into a protective ability through the infusion of one's thoughts."

"Fullbringer?" Yura was puzzled. Senju nodded. "That's one of the thousand spells I possess. Fullbringer is the power of love. It can draw out the power of objects that one deeply loves. It can extract the soul of matter and control it or change its form."

"The power of love?" The group was puzzled. Senju nodded, and a fluctuating blue field appeared around them. The group felt a series of changes, but the fastest change was felt by the blond-haired idiot, Jiro Shima. The soccer ball next to him slowly floated up and landed in his hands. "What is this?"

"It seems you really like football. This is your Fullbring technique, 'Soccer Spirit'," Senju said after looking at it for a while and roughly understood. "It has become your partner. You can do all sorts of things through football, but you'll need to develop the specifics yourself."

"A partner, huh?" Jiro looked at the soccer ball in his hand with a serious expression, and it took him a long time to come to a conclusion: soccer balls are meant to be kicked!

Next was Rikuo. His glasses slowly emitted light, but he wasn't a glasses enthusiast. Senju looked at them for a while before realizing that they were sealed. His Fullbring was combined with his demon body.

When he makes up his mind to take off his glasses, he can transform into a youkai, whether it's day or night. However, Rikuo doesn't quite understand this yet; he's only receiving the message from the glasses. Only when he truly understands will he have completely mastered the Fullbring technique!

“Rikuo, what you have is a seal. As for what it seals, you know it yourself,” Rikuo was quite dazed after hearing Senju’s words. “A seal? Why would I have this?”

Next to float up was the group leader, who was fast asleep there. Countless phantoms floated around him, each one a monster or deity. The people around him were dumbfounded. "What is this? Does Kiyotsugu like monsters that much?"

“It seems so,” Senju nodded from the side. “Kiyotsugu’s awakened Fullbring is a bit dangerous. It can simulate all the yokai he knows and transform at will. It’s a bit too strong.”

"Such an ability?!" The group was dumbfounded. Although they knew Kiyotsugu Kiyoji liked to study yokai, this was going a bit too far. Yura and Rikuo anxiously asked, "What should we do?! You can't turn into a yokai!"

"Don't worry, I'll handle the big ones."

"Thousand fingers pointed to the Seiki Cross, and a beam of light emanated from his body, then transmitted to the laptop beside him. 'Twist!'"

Then everyone saw the computer disintegrate into countless parts, and then reassemble itself. "Alright, I've transferred his Fullbring to a website on the computer, which is your group's official forum. You can get more information about monsters there, but..."

Senju tapped Kiyotsugu, "I'm going to cast a curse on him now, 'Late Meeting'. No matter how much real information he obtains, he will never see the true form of a yokai in his lifetime. By the time he arrives, the yokai will have already retreated or disappeared. However, in return, he will never be harmed by the yokai."

"Uh..." The people around were speechless. They felt sorry for their leader, who had been cursed like this. It was too cruel for monster fans. They wanted it too!

Next, Yura changed. However, seeing her somewhat bewildered expression, Senju explained briefly, "The power you awakened is 'conviction.' If you have no confusion in your heart, the power of Yin-Yang techniques can be increased by dozens or even hundreds of times. But when you have confusion in your heart, the power will be greatly weakened!"

"Belief?" Yura stood there, looking confused. The girls next to her looked at Senju and asked, "Lord Shinigami, have we awakened some kind of superpower?!"

“Uh…” Senju looked at the three of them speechlessly, then realized that their awakened abilities were strange. “Kana awakened ‘The Prince Arrives,’ which means that whenever she is in danger, someone will come to her rescue.”

"..." The group stared at Kana speechlessly. What kind of bizarre ability was this?! Senju continued, "Natsumi awakened the 'Human-God Contract,' and it seems she has formed a symbiotic relationship with a certain god."

"Lord Senba!" Torii Natsumi said softly, and then everyone saw a small ball of light appear on the side, inside which was a small figure. However, the face of this figure was covered with a piece of paper with the words "Senba" written on it, "Natsumi".

"This is... a land god?" Yura asked uncertainly after taking a look. Qianyu nodded, "That's right. Although I am humble, I am the land god in charge of healing. Although I have few believers, I have already formed a bond with Xia Shi."

Chapter 1377 Arrival

“Well, it’s common for faith to decline,” Senju said, looking at the land god and Torii Natsumi. “Among the guests coming later, there is a wind priestess named Kochiya Sanae. Her past situation is very similar to yours. You can talk to her.”

“Yes, Lord Shinigami,” the two nodded, then looked at each other. Finally, the last girl, Maki Saori, looked at Senju, “Lord Shinigami, everyone else has spoken, what about mine?!”

“Yours? Hmm, it’s ‘Iron Fist’,” Senju said, his eyes twitching slightly after looking at it for a while. “‘Iron Fist of Love’, ‘Iron Fist of Protection’, ‘Iron Fist of Wrath’—changes in your mind can be reflected in your fist, forming different powers.”

"..." The group's gazes focused on Maki Saori's fist. It was an iron fist. Then, after Maki Saori tapped one of them, the group knelt down and admitted their mistakes. Senju shook her head. "This is the iron fist of care. It doesn't cause any harm, but it calms people down completely and makes them reflect on their mistakes. By the way, I have a secret manual here, Bajiquan. If you practice it well, you can gain considerable combat power."

"A loving fist," the group murmured, their heads throbbing with bruises, looking utterly speechless. Maki Saori mimed a manga-style angry pose, then punched the wooden floor before clutching her hand and crying out in pain. Senju glanced at her helplessly, "Your conviction isn't natural; you need to practice more."

"What exactly is your purpose?! They might be involved in very dangerous places in the future!" Yura looked at Senju's actions, she didn't understand at all. What was his intention in randomly dispatching forces? Senju just waved his hand casually, "Alright, do you think they will be safe in the future? Just be happy, let's play cards."

"You're not human," Yura complained unhappily, but didn't pursue the matter further, since they were currently in a monster's lair! Afterwards, the group began to study their abilities. Senju gave them some guidance and then placed seals on them, preventing them from displaying their powers in front of ordinary people.

The others complained a bit, but Yura thought it was the right thing to do. "We have to hide it well. Throughout history, many yokai have liked live livers. They believe that live livers can give them stronger yokai power. People with special powers are even more entangled by yokai. If they find out, it will be bad!"

"A living liver?!" The group clutched their stomachs and looked around in horror. Senju nodded casually. "It's the heart. Yokai believe that the heart is the essence of a person's power, so they like to eat hearts to enhance their yokai power. For example, Grandpa Rikuo's heart was eaten by Hagoromo Gitsune, which is why he has aged like this now."

"Even the yokai got eaten?! Are these yokai trying to eat us?! Are we going to be the main course at this banquet?! No way!" Several classmates looked at Senju and suddenly panicked. Rikuo quickly clarified, "Everyone calm down! The Nura Clan yokai wouldn't do that! I guarantee it in the name of the Third Hokage of the Nura Clan!"

"But there are still monsters coming from outside!" the children cried out. Lu Sheng looked at his classmates solemnly, "You are all my friends, I will..."

To protect everyone!

"Don't worry, the visitors from Gensokyo won't eat people," Senju said, and the group breathed a sigh of relief. But what they didn't know was that the youkai in Gensokyo didn't eat people, but they would kill them. Senju had already taken care of all the youkai that did eat people. "Alright, relax, let's play cards!"

"Yeah, yeah, let's play cards," the group nodded repeatedly. However, with the arrival of Senju, Rikuo's luck seemed to be affected. Of course, Senju didn't cheat, and everyone had wins and losses. The blond-haired idiot looked at the group leader sleeping soundly on the side and couldn't help but shake his head, feeling sorry for him.

"Lord Aizen, the banquet is ready," the door opened after a short while, and Natto-kozo, now a girl, said respectfully. "The entire Nura Clan is ready to welcome guests, and the Commander-in-Chief has asked me to invite you over."

"Natto Monk?!" Lu Sheng looked at the girl at the door with a puzzled expression. Her voice hadn't changed, but her figure was completely different! Natto Monk nodded, "It's me, young master. I didn't expect you to recognize me."

“Yes, your voice hasn’t changed,” Rikuo nodded, and Natto-kun bowed. “It’s all thanks to Lord Aizen’s promotion that I’ve grown.”

"Young Master, the Grand General also requests that you go to the gate to greet the guests," Yuki-onna Bingli also came over. Senju nodded, snapped his fingers, and a wave of energy rippled outwards. "Alright, Rikuo, let's go out. Don't worry, everything will be fine. I've already added an immortality barrier here. No matter what we do, we won't die."

"Um, are the guests very fierce?" Riku asked anxiously. Senju shook her head. "Well, not at all. You'll see when you meet them. They're all beautiful older sisters."

Senju wouldn't mention that this barrier has other uses, such as displaying different appearances to different people, distorting the information about 'Senju' in the visitor's words from Gensokyo, or increasing the house's defenses.

"Oh?! Pretty big sister?!" The blond-haired idiot was excited. Senju shrugged and followed Natto-kun out. Then Hyo-ri and Rikuo followed. The blond-haired idiot wanted to follow too, but was held back by the girls. Then the group peered through the crack in the door towards the main entrance.

Upon arriving at the entrance, Senju looked speechlessly at the surrounding yokai. Their shapes were quite strange, he thought, shaking his head slightly. Fortunately, the leader was humanoid, and the old man Nurarihyon was standing at the very front. "The banquet is about to begin. It's time to invite the guests to take their seats."

"Yes, that's right," Senju called out to the other side, then opened the door. The bored monsters on the other side, who were practically having a brawl, immediately rushed over. Their entrance was quite spectacular, with more than a dozen girls making a dazzling appearance accompanied by countless comments.

However, the deep demonic and spiritual energy accompanying the barrage caused the youkai here to panic for a moment. Nurarihyon and Rihan, on the other hand, were not too surprised. They calmly looked at the beautiful woman who appeared in front of them and said, "So this is the guest from Gensokyo. She is very different from what I imagined."

"Oh, so many little monsters!" Marisa, sitting on her broom, was the first to speak, offending all the monsters at once. Then, a flurry of camera flashes followed, and Aya Shameimaru's voice rang out, "Oh, so many monsters that have long since disappeared! I'll take pictures!"

"You rude scoundrels! Before you stands the lord of demons and monsters, the first leader of the Nura Clan..." A bunch of little monsters jumped out shouting, but were stopped by Nurarihyon waving his hand. "Step back! Don't be rude! These are honored guests!"

Chapter 1378 The Banquet

"Oh, so these are the youkai from the outside world. They seem a little..." Accompanied by a light laugh, came the Yakumo family. Nurarihyon's eyes narrowed, and he looked seriously at Yakumo Ran, who was following behind a girl. "I didn't expect there to be foxes here. Could you please introduce them to Lord Aizen?"

"Hi, I'm Marisa Kirisame, an ordinary magician," Marisa called out upon hearing Nurarihyon's words, followed by Aya Shameimaru. With a flash, each of them held a newspaper in their hands. "I'm Aya Shameimaru, the editor-in-chief of Aya's News. As you can see, I'm a tengu. Nice to meet you."

"Oh, oh, so we're from the same clan. But this demonic power... it's from a great demon over a thousand years old," a crow tengu from the Nura Clan flew out, and Aya Shameimaru patted him for a while. "Oh, so you're from the outside world, nice to meet you. Any big news?"

"This is the Sage of Youkai, Lady Yakumo Yukari," Senju introduced from the side. Yakumo Yukari smiled and nodded. "Hello everyone, I am Yakumo Yukari. I am just seventeen years old this year. Please take care of me."

"Lady Purple, please have some self-respect," Yakumo Ran solemnly reminded her, then bowed behind Purple. "I am Lady Purple's shikigami, Yakumo Ran, and this is Orange."

"A nine-tailed fox?! A cat demon?!" The Nura Clan members were shocked to see the two-tailed cat-eared girl clinging to the back of the nine-tailed fox. This was a monster straight out of legend! And they had actually seen it today!

"Hello everyone, I am Sanae Kochiya, the wind priestess of Moriya Shrine. Please take care of me!" Sanae bowed sharply, startling the youkai. Reimu looked around, thinking, "She seems to be quite wealthy."

"Ahem, this is my shrine maiden, Reimu Hakurei," Senju introduced sheepishly. "She's very powerful, but she has no morals, so everyone should be careful."

"...

"The Nura Clan's yokai and the few who were spying were speechless at the two priestesses' performance. They were a little different from what they had imagined priestesses to be! And would any god introduce his priestesses like that?!"

“Oh, what an interesting little girl,” Nurarihyon nodded with a smile, and Senju continued to introduce her, “The princess of the dead, Saigyouji Yuyuko, she’s a big shot in that world.”

"Hi everyone, I'm Yuyuko Dess~" Yuyuko was deliberately acting cute, and the girl behind her bowed slightly, "I am Konpaku Youmu, the gardener of the Saigyouji family."

"Hey, hey, hey, you're blocking my way! I'm the strongest!" A lively voice rang out from the sky, and then a silly little thing slowly descended from there. "I am the strongest in the world, the Ice Fairy, Lady Cirno~"

"So cute~" Due to the attraction of their affinity, Yuki-onna Hyouri's eyes lit up, and then another fairy flew out and dragged Cirno backward. "Cirno~ don't do this. Um, hello everyone, I am a great fairy. I'm sorry, Cirno has caused you trouble."

"Even fairies? I'm getting more and more interested in Gensokyo," Nurarihyon chuckled and nodded. Senju continued, "This is Hieda no Akyuu, Kamishirasawa Keine, Fujiwara no Mokou..."

After introducing the people of Gensokyo, the Nura Clan members also introduced themselves, but they didn't attract the attention of the Gensokyo residents. They were just there to freeload, who cared about the Lord of Demons and Monsters?! They were just a bunch of little youkai anyway.

After a while of commotion, the group of monsters finally took their seats. Of course, they were still scattered throughout the venue, with the little monsters playing by themselves, creating a lively atmosphere. Cirno and the Great Fairy also ran out to play with Natto and the others.

The great youkai of Gensokyo and the Nura Clan executives sat at several tables. However, Yura was placed with Reimu by Senju. Yura was still a little angry, but Marisa stuffed food in her mouth. Then, Yura felt a chill run down her spine. There was a blonde girl staring at her with a gloomy expression next to her.

Although the atmosphere below was still not very harmonious, Yakumo Yukari and Nurarihyon communicated very well. Both of them were cunning and shrewd. Yakumo Yukari was looking around for youkai that could be absorbed into Gensokyo, while Nurarihyon was estimating the strength of the other party.

But you can't tell much just by looking. For example, Marisa is secretly stuffing things there, and there's one eye staring at her. It seems like one eye would be more imposing, but if it really comes down to a fight, Marisa could beat the monster to a pulp.

The people in Gensokyo aren't very serious, but the Nura Clan executives on the other side are behaving very properly, which is another point of conflict; the differences between male and female youkai are yet another point of conflict, but everyone is holding back for now, since they haven't had too much to drink yet.

Rihan was casually drinking his sake, with his wife Wakana by his side. Across from him was Yuyuko, who was devouring food, and Youmu was sitting serenely beside her.

Aya Shameimaru then put her arm around the Karasu Tengu and started asking him all sorts of questions. The Karasu Tengu from the Nura Clan couldn't stand the requests of his great yokai kin!

As for Rikuo, he chuckled dryly in the corner seat, while Yura at the next table was still biting into her food and staring at him. There were also a few classmates staring at the youkai of Gensokyo, saying, "What beautiful people! Are they all youkai?"

“Well, mostly yes,” Senju popped up from the side. She wasn't interested in the clash between the two 'old folks,' and pointed to the group opposite her. “Those over there, don't mess with them, it's dangerous; those are fairies, they'll play tricks on you; the ones you can talk to are those half-demon, Shirasawa Keine, and Kazakura Sanae…”

"Oh, I see," the group nodded as they listened to Senju's explanation, but Rikuo was more curious about Keine. "Is Miss Kamishira Takumi a half-demon? Are there many half-demon over there?"

“That’s right, there are quite a few, but the bloodline inherited by Huiyin is the divine beast Bai Ze,” Senju explained briefly. Torii Natsumi, who was standing to the side, was very curious about something, “Um, can I ask a question? Why are all the other people women? And they are all so beautiful?”
