How did I, an Onmyoji, become the Lord of Yokai?

So, the reason you showed murderous intent towards me, looking like you were determined to kill me, is because I stole your daughter?

Because...that seems to be a very important reason...Chapter 493, Chapter 490: The Orochi That Never Keeps Its Promises

The boy raised his left hand and rubbed his face with his scarred palm, finally calming down from his surprised and shocked expression.

"Hmph... Tell me everything you know, Ibuki."

With a soft exclamation, Qing Shui Chao Yang spoke softly.

Ibuki explained that Orochi had no intention of killing them, and that Orochi and Susanoo had reconciled, but despite all these reasons, he only received the answers and the results, and knew nothing about the process.

Furthermore, there's the relationship between the Evil God and the Martial Venerable. Why did these two opposing figures reconcile? And why use the phrase "reconciled" to describe it?

What kind of relationship exists between them?

He knew nothing about it.

"Hmm...that makes sense, after all, the master doesn't know anything."

With her slender fingers pressed against her red lips, the girl smiled sweetly and narrowed her eyes.

"Well then, I'll tell you the story of my father, Susanoo, and Mio."

"Father shouldn't mind such a small matter."

With her gaze shifting, Ibuki, like an obedient daughter, sought her father's opinion. However, the evil god snorted and turned his head away with some displeasure.

"You've already made up your mind, why are you asking me?"

"Alala...it seems Father is angry."

She blinked gently, but the girl didn't care. She looked at the clear water and the rising sun again and began to tell the story of the grudges and affections between the three strongest gods thousands of years ago.

"Master, actually, Father and Susanoo were once best friends..."

With Ibuki's explanation, the truth from millions of years ago was finally revealed.

The friendship between the evil god and the warrior, the prophecy that even the gods believed, the domineering and ruthless older sister, and Susanoo caught in the middle.

"...Is this the truth from millions of years ago?"

Even though she was mentally prepared, Shimizu Asahi was still somewhat shocked.

Orochi and Susanoo were once the closest of friends, and the reason his sister sealed Orochi away was merely a prophecy...

this......

He opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but swallowed the words back down.

The cause of this war was actually a prophecy, and it was because of that prophecy that it turned out this way.

For some reason, a mischievous thought arose in Shimizu Asahi's mind.

Perhaps because of their different identities and positions, and the different things they care about, what the gods consider a threat that must be eliminated and a prophecy that is highly credible seem extremely naive to Shimizu Asahi.

It was like a boring farce.

"Just because of this one prophecy... our battles and our lives depend on this one prophecy."

"I'm sorry, Ibuki, the more I think about it, the more upset I get..."

"Although I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it's still a bit hard for you to accept, Master. But whether you admit it or not, it's the truth."

"I know......"

The black-haired boy sighed deeply. He stood there for a moment, hesitating, before finally fixing his gaze on the Yamata no Orochi.

"..."

"..."

"Feel sorry."

After a long silence, his hand unconsciously clenched into a fist, but in the end, Shimizu Asahi still said an apology.

"This incident was my sister's fault... Whether you accept it or not, my sister and I owe you an apology."

"Ha, you're not so naive as to think you can make me forgive and forget the past with just an apology, are you?"

The evil god scoffed in a low voice, showing no intention of accepting the apology. Shimizu Asahi also calmly shook his head, "This is just what we owe you. My saying this doesn't mean that our grudges can be wiped clean, and... it won't be wiped clean so easily."

“You hurt Ootengu, Aunt Kuzunoha, Lady Tamamo-no-Mae, Ari, Qingnufang... I remember all these grudges.”

"And there's also the grudge against the teacher!"

Admitting mistakes is a principle that Shimizu Asahi has always believed in, but admitting mistakes does not mean that grudges are wiped clean.

The feud between the Shimizu family and the Jashin family should be resolved by the two families themselves. If it were just the two of them, Shimizu Asahi would definitely try his best to resolve the feud. But now... the Jashin has not only dragged outsiders into this, but has also hurt so many important people in his life. He will never let this go easily.

Even if they were wrong in the first place!

"Hehehe... That's for the best. Otherwise, if I kill you one day, you won't even know why I killed you!"

Even with their purple and black eyes locked, the truth remained unresolved, and their resentment towards each other did not cease.

Ibuki watched the two confront each other without saying anything. As the daughter of Yamata no Orochi and the wife of Shimizu Asahi, all she could do was tell them the truth and ease the tension between them.

The only thing that can truly make them let go of their grudges is the passage of time.

However, at this moment, Shimizu Asahi suddenly said, "Although this matter is about to be resolved, there is something else I need to tell you in advance."

"Genji must pay the price."

"Yuan Jingji must die!"

The boy who bears the lives of hundreds of priestesses is someone the Genji can never reconcile with. He is currently powerless to make Orochi pay the price he deserves, but the Genji... he will never let him go!

Even if Orochi wants to protect the Minamoto clan, he will definitely find a way to kill the Minamoto clan elders and Minamoto no Tsunemoto!

Surprisingly, the evil god was completely unconcerned upon hearing this. He scoffed disdainfully and said, "If you want to kill someone, then go ahead and do it. Why bother reminding me?"

"That Genji was nothing more than a pawn I used."

"piece?"

With a furrowed brow, Qing Shui Chaoyang was somewhat puzzled by what this meant.

He knew the evil god was using the Genji clan as pawns, but regardless, the Genji clan had made a great contribution to His resurrection, and now, having barely emerged, they were already being abandoned...

Isn't that a bit too inhumane?

“Little guy, you need to understand one thing: this is just a deal. Genji helped me get out of trouble, and I gave them a glorious future. As long as I keep my promise, the deal is done.”

"What do I care about the lives or deaths of others?"

"Besides, little guy... have you ever seen me keep my promises?"

"..."

Those self-righteous and matter-of-fact words left Shimizu Asahi speechless. Indeed, since he met the evil god, He had never kept a promise.

Whether it was to him or to everyone else. Chapter 494: Don't scream, or you'll die too.

"I hope you remember what you're saying now."

Shimizu Asahi took a deep look at the Yamata no Orochi, and then, in front of it, took Ibuki's hand and flew down without hesitation.

He hadn't forgotten the current situation of Ōtakemaru and the others; the battle with the evil god had dragged on for too long, and he hoped they could hold on.

"...!? Damn it, that bastard!"

A hint of anger surfaced on his calm face, and Orochi felt an urge to grab Shimizu Asahi and beat him up.

But after looking at his daughter, he ultimately suppressed such thoughts and then... flew into the sky.

He is going to find the bull-headed man.

......

Descending from the sky, Qingshui Chaoyang returned to the underground altar once again. The underground altar remained unchanged, almost identical to when he left. The only difference was that there were now eleven more people on the underground altar.

"That's... Qingshui Chaoyang?"

Yuan Manzhong sat cross-legged on the altar. Having exhausted too much spiritual energy, he was now less than one-tenth of his original strength. Although the battle was over, it would be better to recover as soon as possible.

But... why did Shimizu Asahi appear here so soon after he sat down?

Wasn't he already dead at the hands of the evil god?

And the girl next to him... Ibuki Doji, why is the daughter of the evil god hanging out with him?

"Father."

With a slight frown and a bad feeling rising in his heart, Minamoto Manchu immediately looked at his father, Minamoto Kyungki, who had opened his eyes earlier and had already seen this scene.

The powerful evil god's force not only allowed him to see Shimizu Asahi, but also the countless enormous vengeful spirits within Shimizu Asahi's body...

"I see... Is that so?"

A flash of understanding crossed his eyes, and Yuan Jingji stood up with a low laugh.

“I never expected you to come out alive in this way, little guy...you really have exceeded my expectations.”

"But even so, it's too late."

"The Evil God has been resurrected. No matter how much power you gain, you can never be a match for the Evil God."

"If you survive, why not just run away? Why come back to die?"

"Sending yourself to your death? Ah... I guess you could call it sending yourself to your death."

Releasing the girl's small hand, Qing Shui Chao Yang walked step by step towards Yuan Jing Ji.

"I've come to send you all to your deaths!"

"Arrogant brat! You're just a disciple of Kamo no Tadayuki, yet you dare to utter such words!"

An elder was immediately enraged. He gripped his katana and charged directly at Shimizu Asahi. Minamoto no Mitsunaka instinctively raised his hand to stop him, but the elder had already reached the boy.

With a deafening boom, golden lightning ripped through the darkness, striking the elder like a long serpent. Unsurprisingly, in an instant, the elder lost his life...

"!?"

Everyone's gaze suddenly narrowed. Although the elders had also lost most of their spiritual power, they were still elders of the Minamoto clan, and their strength was at the strongest level of the Great Demons. To eliminate an elder so cleanly and efficiently... How could this guy be so strong!?
