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

The watchtower is located on an isolated island... well, on an island, but there's also a small isolated island surrounded by water on all sides.

If you want to get there, you can only take a boat unless you can fly.

However, the woman did not go to the watchtower, but landed on the opposite side of it.

After she landed, Shimizu Asahi and the others landed right after her.

"Are you OK?"

Seeing blood trickling from the corner of her mouth, Qingshui Chaoyang immediately took out a talisman to heal her wounds.

The spiritual energy formed a ray of light that quickly covered the woman's entire body, while the demonic energy within her was also activated, and then rapidly absorbed the power within the spiritual energy.

With the help of spiritual power, she managed to control her injuries.

"Thanks......"

She exhaled and whispered her thanks.

"You're welcome... However, I'm not very familiar with treatments, so this is the best I can do to suppress your injuries. You still need to rest and recuperate."

Even though Himiko had shown mercy, her power was still immense. Even a woman capable of taking on six opponents at once could only be injured by her attacks.

It seems they should thank Himiko yesterday.

If the force from last night was deliberately targeting them, they would probably have died under that invincible power long ago.

"Hmm...come with me. The most urgent task is to free you from the cycle of reincarnation, and..."

The woman seemed to be considering something and didn't continue speaking.

She gently shook her head, then got up and headed towards the watchtower. Shimizu Asahi and the girls exchanged glances, nodded, and followed the woman.

Before long, the seven people arrived at the watchtower.

This watchtower is built among the mountains, surrounded by mountains on three sides, with only a road leading to the outside world on the south side. And on this road, there is a very large and luxurious mansion.

As for the watchtower... not counting the three-story mansion, the watchtower has a full five stories... in terms of height, it is three stories taller than the Sun Wheel Pavilion.

At the same time, as mentioned before, the tower here allows one to overlook the entire City of the Sun.

No matter what happens, you'll know here.

Just as the seven people arrived, a white-haired boy who had been observing something in front of the watchtower immediately walked over.

"Lady Takiyasha, you're back."

"Who are these people...?"

“They are my friends… Ming Liu, I have some things to do and need to go back to Mingjian to rest. I'll leave them in your care.”

After speaking, the woman walked into the watchtower, while the boy named Ming Liu looked at them. (Chapter 749, Section 752: The Reversal of Time)

"Greetings, esteemed guests. My name is Meiroku. I am entrusted by Lady Takiyasha-hime to guard this watchtower and to record the daytime hours of the City of the Sun."

"Lady Takiyasha-hime is going to rest now, but she should wake up tomorrow morning. I will let you know then."

Ming Liu looked at the six people and said this with a calm and gentle smile.

Although he is not tall and looks like a child about to enter adolescence, his reliable and mature aura is enough to make people ignore his height.

"Everyone, it's getting late. Let me take you to rest first."

As he spoke, Ming Liu stretched out his palm, preparing to lead the group to rest.

But then, a sound came from afar.

The sound was neither loud nor soft, but it struck Shimizu Asahi and the others like a heavy hammer.

—The sky suddenly changed.

An indescribable, terrifying energy emanated from the north, causing the entire world to tremble. The attention of the six members of the group, including Shimizu Asahi, was instantly drawn to this power.

They looked north, towards the place where the Sun Wheel Pavilion was located.

—A terrifying black and red beam of light shot out wildly from the hall like a flowing stream of water.

The spiritual energy surged into the sky, not only obscuring the bright moon but also turning the deep blue sky black and red.

His body began to tremble uncontrollably.

That terrifying power wasn't specifically targeted at Shimizu Asahi and his group, but even so, they still felt that indescribable power.

Even the lingering effects of that momentum gave Shimizu Asahi the feeling that he couldn't compete.

His biological instincts were telling him to hide himself, not to be discovered, not to be discovered... whatever you do, don't be discovered!

This was the first time his alarm bells had rung so frantically!

It's too big... The gap in strength is just too big... Rather than saying this is fighting against humans or demons, it's more like fighting against the heavens.

The queen who unified the world eight hundred years ago, the strongest demonic cultivator who worshipped her own sister...

Transcend the limits of humans and monsters, and reach the realm of gods.

No matter what method is used, it is impossible to contend with this existence that may even surpass the gods!

However, before everyone could marvel at Himiko's power and how they could defeat her, the colors in the sky suddenly began to change.

The once deep blue night gradually began to take on color, and the moon, which should have been in the center, began to set at a visible speed.

Then, the moon disappeared and the sun appeared.

After a while, the sun disappeared like the moon, and the moon reappeared like the sun.

The clouds in the sky appeared somewhat colorful as the sun and moon changed, but... this magnificent scene did not enter anyone's mind.

—Everyone's eyes were filled with shock.

A slight tremor caused their fingertips to turn slightly white.

"This is... the power of the Time-Space Artifact?"

The voice trembled slightly.

"Time has been reversed, and a day that should have passed has returned!!"

—The moon rises in the west and sets in the east, the sun rises in the west and sets in the east, and the day before our eyes, right before Qingshui Chaoyang and the others, is forcibly turned back!

All along, Shimizu Asahi and the others believed that the time-space artifact had only sealed this day here, and that everything would be reset at dawn the next day, just like traveling back in time.

But who knew that the day of being locked down would somehow make time flow by?

From a new day, let's go back to yesterday...

Is this the spacetime power that drives everyone crazy?

"What a terrifying guy..."

Shimizu Asahi took a deep breath, and this time, he was unusually hesitant.

Even when facing the Yamata no Orochi, he wasn't too worried, but now, because of this divine artifact, he had some ideas about how to win!

Are you all guests from out of town?

"Hehe, don't worry, everyone. The cycle of reincarnation in the City of the Sun is not contained within the watchtower. So, as long as we stay here, we will not be swallowed up by the cycle of reincarnation."

"It's getting late, please rest in your rooms."

The six members of the group, including Shimizu Asahi, snapped out of their shock and nodded silently.

Although he still had a lot to say, the terrifying scene he had just witnessed had greatly shaken his resolve, and he no longer had the heart to ask questions.

Following Ming Liu, the group arrived at the guest room.

Since only Meiroku and Takiyasha-hime lived in this grand mansion, there were plenty of empty guest rooms, enough for each of them.

After thanking Ming Liu, the six members of Shimizu Asahi's group entered the same room.

Before taking a break, they planned to have a short get-together.

Even if they don't exchange information, at least they can stay together and let the heavy mood caused by what just happened slowly dissipate.

"..."

"..."

Time passed slowly, and no one spoke or showed any impatience. The room fell into an eerie silence.

It's unclear how much time passed—perhaps half an hour, or maybe an hour—but the emotions of the six members of the group, including Shimizu Asahi, gradually calmed down. Then, he took the initiative to break the silence.

"Alright, let's stop thinking about it now. Let's call it a day. Get some rest, and tomorrow we'll find out what really happened here."

"Ah."

The girls, having calmed down, nodded gently and returned to their rooms.

They didn't think about anything that night and just fell into a deep sleep.

The next morning, the sun had just risen.

Bright light shone in from the window, and the clear water and morning sun opened their eyes in time.

He got out of bed, feeling a little tired.

Himiko's power had ultimately affected him yesterday, and even after a night's rest, he still appeared somewhat tired.

However, today was the day to find out the situation in the City of the Sun, so he rubbed his face and walked out of the room.

After a quick cleansing with talismans, he went from the guest room to the main hall of the mansion.

When he came in, the other girls had already arrived.

The woman who brought them to the watchtower... the woman named Takiyasha-hime, was already waiting for them there.

"Are you awake, Onmyoji?"

"Now that you've awakened, let's have a chat."

"I will tell you everything you want to know, as long as it is within my power to do so."

She spoke softly, getting straight to the point.

The secret of the City of the Sun, hidden for eight hundred years, is finally about to be revealed to them. Chapter 753, Lady Himiko, who already controlled time and space...
