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

Ye Zi and Qing Nufang blinked at each other, both looking at each other involuntarily.

Yesterday, Himiko showed no mercy and blasted them away. Not to mention that they were seriously injured in the attack, Shimizu Asahi was even knocked into a semi-conscious state by Himiko's power.

No matter how resilient a person is, it is impossible to fully recover overnight.

so......

Their bodies were also affected.

"If Ibuki's guess is correct, then we have now entered this cycle where only one day ever passes?"

Lingzi frowned slightly.

"Does that mean our actions are already within this space? Even if we don't want to repeat yesterday's events, we'll still do them under the control of spacetime forces?"

"No, probably not."

As soon as she said this, Qingnufang shook her head.

"Although we are on the sea and everything seems the same as yesterday, in reality we are still in control of our own actions."

"At the very least, when we arrived here yesterday, we checked into a hotel first and then gathered information."

"Moreover, we must have learned of this scene by means of Ibuki's power."

"Now that you mention it, it's true... That means we're currently in a cycle of reincarnation. Although we can control ourselves, we can't move time forward to tomorrow."

Ah Li quickly realized their current situation. Although they could move freely within this cycle of reincarnation, they were unable to escape it.

"Reincarnation... It was Himiko who manipulated the spacetime artifact to keep this Sun Wheel City stuck on this day."

"But why?"

As Qing Shui Chaoyang looked north, although his field of vision was filled with mountains, his eyes seemed to be fixed on the magnificent palace at the end of those mountains.

"Why does Himiko keep repeating this day like this? Is it just because it's her wedding?"

"Or perhaps something happened after the wedding that she couldn't accept..."

"...There's no point in thinking about this here, let's go and see for ourselves!"

The boy narrowed his eyes slightly, and then took a step without hesitation.

They're going to find Himiko!

The girls followed suit without hesitation.

Soon, the group arrived at the entrance of the Sun Wheel Pavilion.

Just like yesterday, the entrance to the Nichirin Pavilion was packed with people, all queuing to enter.

Shimizu Asahi and the others also mingled into the crowd and entered the gate. However, unlike yesterday, the old man they had been talking to did not reappear.

Is it because of time...?

Let's wait and see what happens tonight.

Time passed slowly, and the colors in the sky gradually dimmed. Qing Shui and Chao Yang guessed that the wedding should begin soon.

However, just then, while he was patiently waiting, he suddenly saw a familiar face.

—The general I spoke with at the gate yesterday!

'That person... I remember him as a general, the general who followed Himiko in conquering the world.'

'But why is he talking to thin air?'

The general's strange behavior caught Shimizu Asahi's attention, and then he pricked up his ears and listened carefully to what the general had to say.

"Yo-hime, you've grown up so much without me even realizing it. Your mother will surely be happy to see you like this today..."

"I don't know if I'll be alive to see the day you get married."

"Protecting the City of the Sun and Her Majesty the Queen is important, but your marriage is just as important..."

"Her Majesty the Queen has found someone to rely on; it's time for you to find someone to rely on as well."

"Her Majesty the Queen and I will be delighted by this..."

'...You-hime?'

The general's words made Shimizu Asahi narrow his eyes. The Yo-hime he mentioned should be his daughter, but under normal circumstances, his daughter should be with him in front of him.

Why is there no air in front of him?

Where did that person go?

Thoughts raced through his mind, and in the blink of an eye, Qing Shui Chao Yang deduced the general's current situation.

But what about that missing girl...? Is she still in this cycle of reincarnation, or has she already left it? Or perhaps, like them, she is able to act on her own in this manipulated space?

That general, and the investigation is worthwhile.

With this thought in mind, Qingshui Chaoyang prepared to move closer to the general.

He wanted to learn more from the general's words.

In fact, Shimizu Asahi had already guessed yesterday that they were in the same cycle of 'the same day', and the reason he guessed it was the general's words.

If this were a game, then this general would definitely be an extremely important NPC in the Sun Wheel City dungeon.

However, just as Shimizu Asahi approached the general, a ghost appeared in front of him without warning!

"No one is allowed to disturb them!!"

The blue fist, carrying absolute power, hurtled towards Shimizu Asahi. The boy, who hadn't reacted at all, suddenly narrowed his eyes, a sense of foreboding rising in his heart.

Unaware of what was happening, and unable to mobilize my spiritual energy in time... Damn it, it seems I have no choice but to take this hit head-on!

But just then, a sharp blade of light slashed down from above, instantly cleaving the terrifying ghost in two! Chapter 748, Section 751: Hurry up and thank Himiko!

A beautiful figure appeared in front of Qingshui Chaoyang.

Her blade severed the ghost's attack!

"You are...the person from yesterday?"

With flowing silver hair and delicate features, her slender body appeared frail, yet it contained a power capable of destroying everything.

In this woman, Shimizu Asahi felt the same way he felt about his wife, Reiko.

—So dashing!

She was like a general on the battlefield, with a cold and aloof demeanor, as if she would not be moved even in the face of thousands of troops, almost exactly like his wife.

Compared to her ethereal, otherworldly beauty last night, she is more real and more powerful today!

Who are you?

He asked the question instinctively, but the woman did not answer. She brandished her weapon and suddenly thrust it fiercely at Shimizu Asahi.

The fierce strike was filled with unimaginable terrifying power. If Shimizu Asahi were to be hit by this strike, there would be no doubt that he would die here.

However, the blade grazed his cheek and pierced deeply into the ghostly body behind him!

Another ghost died by her blade.

"This is not the place to talk. Let's defeat the ghosts first!"

As she spoke, Shimizu Asahi squinted and looked around.

Sure enough, the ghosts appeared, densely surrounding the group, their ferocity and ruthlessness revealing their madness to kill them all.

However, no matter how many of these ghosts come, it's all the same. Whether it's the six members of Shimizu Asahi or this suddenly appearing woman, they can all easily kill these ghosts.

In the face of overwhelming power, quantity sometimes doesn't matter.

With her powerful spiritual energy, she quickly repelled the ghosts and spirits here... After weakening their attacks, Shimizu Asahi relaxed a little.

He looked at the mysterious woman, preparing to ask what was going on here, but at that moment, power erupted!

An endless, terrifying force swept down from the fifth floor, forcing Shimizu Asahi and the others to bend over under its pressure, and then...

The spiritual energy blasted into the woman!

The fire wave exploded outwards from the woman, engulfing Shimizu Asahi and the others before they even had a chance to react.

The scorching heatwave swept in all directions, and the palace seemed to tremble as it could not withstand the force.

The next moment, the woman burst out of the flames.

"puff!"

Crimson blood spurted from her mouth, but before it hit the ground, it was burned away by the scorching flames.

"Lord Himihu..."

The woman looked up at the massive palace gate on the fifth floor, a deep sense of helplessness flashing in her eyes.

She clenched her teeth slightly, but quickly composed herself and shouted, "Let's go!"

After saying that, she was the first to fly away from the gate, and after she flew away, Shimizu Asahi and the others in the flames also fled.

Although that attack was very powerful, it was significantly weaker than yesterday's attack.

Rather than saying Himiko wanted to kill the woman, it would be more accurate to say she was simply teaching her a lesson.

Therefore, Shimizu Chaoyang and the others who were affected did not have too many problems.

"Sunrise".

However, the girls who flew away did not immediately follow the woman's steps. They looked at the clear water and rising sun in mid-air, waiting for his decision.

"Let's go! That person, like us, can move freely within this cycle of reincarnation, and... she definitely knows something!"

Almost instinctively, Shimizu Asahi made the decision.

He already had a guess in his mind: the woman just now was probably the general's missing daughter!

To live here, and to have a significant connection with Himiko, while also being able to act independently, Shimizu Asahi couldn't think of anyone else besides the general's daughter.

Therefore, I must keep up with that person!

Following Shimizu Asahi's decision, the six immediately boarded paper cranes and chased after the woman in the direction she had gone.

After leaving the Sun Wheel Pavilion, the group followed the woman to the watchtower outside the pavilion, which was not far away.
