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

"The rising sun!"

Words of concern rang out softly.

"Don't worry, I'm fine, just a little tired... I didn't expect purifying resentment would consume so much spiritual energy..."

The black-haired boy gently shook his head, a gentle smile on his face.

"The Demon Realm is such a vast area, and the resentment has been accumulating for who knows how long. You must be exhausted all by yourself..."

Qingnvfang wanted to glare at him and then scold him for purifying the resentment of the Demon Realm so quickly.

However, seeing his appearance, she ultimately swallowed her words.

"Fine, I won't care about you anymore."

"hehe......"

The boy laughed out loud, then turned his gaze to the Cloud Mirror in front of him.

"Well then, Master, the incident at the Demon Plains is now resolved. Thank you for your help."

"It's alright, everything is fate. Moreover, the one who contributed the most to this matter was not me, but you, sir. It should be me who thanks you, sir."

The Cloud Mirror bowed, then dispelled the spatial confinement around it and returned to the mirror.

Shimizu Asahi exhaled, picked up the Cloud Mirror that had returned to its normal state, and put it into his pocket. Then, he said, "Alright, let's go back, Qingnu Room."

"Ah."

Although the situation in the Demon Plains has recovered, the monsters here are still affected by the resentment and have become extremely violent. If Shimizu Asahi and his companion continue to stay here, it will become very troublesome.

Therefore, the woman in charge of the Qingnvfang, Shimizu Asahi, quickly left... Chapter 872: The Casualties Are Quite Heavy

When Shimizu Asahi returned to Heian-kyo, it was already night.

They were supposed to return to Heian-kyo at noon, and after confirming their next move, they set off immediately.

Because the Plain of the Demons is not far from Heian-kyo, it only took half an hour for Shimizu Asahi to get there quickly. After arriving at the Plain of the Demons, he quickly found the cause of the anomaly and then spent some time erasing it.

Therefore, in the world of Qingshui Chaoyang, one receives a task on the same day and completes it on the same day.

It is incredibly fast.

Meanwhile, the excess energy was recovered on the way back.

When he returned to Heian-kyo, he had returned to normal.

After briefly speaking to his sister, he went to inform Kamo no Yasunori about the matter.

After learning the truth of the matter, Yasunori Kamo took a deep breath.

A vengeful spirit from an ancient city a thousand years ago? A terrifying being who surpasses even the Ghost King realm?

Although Shimizu Asahi spoke lightly, as his senior brother, he certainly couldn't believe him so easily when he said he was unharmed after fighting such a powerful enemy. So, after carefully examining him and confirming that he was really alright, he released Shimizu Asahi and said it was great that he was alright.

Then, he said very seriously, "Chaoyang, I know you are very strong now. In Heian-kyo, the only people who can suppress you are Father and Mr. Abe, but we are still human beings."

"No matter how hard you try, there will always be a limit."

"Therefore, if you encounter an enemy that is too strong, run if you can. Don't be too reckless, understand?"

"Yes, I know, don't worry, senior brother."

Shimizu Asahi smiled and accepted the relationship with his senior brother, then thought for a moment and said, "By the way, senior brother, the matter of the Demon Plains has been resolved, so I'll go help Seimei and the others tomorrow."

"The scope of this outbreak is too large; if they rely on them alone, it will probably take a very long time to end."

"With one more person on my side, we can finish this faster."

"Okay, then I'll leave it to you."

The man nodded seriously, but after speaking, he smiled helplessly.

"Without you this time, I really don't know what I would have done... Father is right, the Yin-Yang Bureau should be handed over to you."

You should be the one to inherit your father's title of 'Strongest Onmyoji'.

"...Forget it, senior brother, this kind of thing is not suitable for me. I am more suited to moving freely. Sitting there will only make me feel uncomfortable."

Upon hearing this, the black-haired boy was immediately reminded of his miserable life in the Land of the Dead, working from dawn till dusk, toiling away, and pouring his heart and soul into it... It was too painful.

He couldn't help but shiver, and then immediately waved goodbye.

"Senior brother, it's getting late, I'll head back now."

"You should get some rest too, don't stay up too late."

"Oh, I see."

With a simple farewell, Shimizu Asahi turned and left without hesitation, as if there were some ferocious beasts or floods here.

"This guy..."

Watching his junior brother's retreating figure, Kamo no Yasunori shook his head with amusement, then lowered his head to deal with the administrative affairs at hand.

However... thanks to the good news brought back by Shimizu Asahi, he should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

Early the next morning, Shimizu Asahi set off with Aonobo.

He followed his intuition and chose a path that was unlikely to be taken by anyone, and then proceeded with Qingnvfang.

Because of their strength, their operation was very swift, taking only about ten minutes to travel from Heian-kyo to the nearby villages.

Perhaps because this place is so close to Anjing, there is no trace of monsters, and even the village is protected by a formation.

After confirming that there was no problem with the village, he continued on his way.

After that, he encountered seven or eight more villages, and without exception, all of them were protected by formations and had no demonic aura. They were perfectly protected by the Onmyoji.

Even Qingshui Chaoyang is starting to doubt whether he's following a path already taken by someone else.

However, soon, after two hours, after encountering seven or eight intact villages, he finally came across a village filled with demonic energy and where people were filled with fear.

But perhaps because of the difference in their levels of cultivation, in Shimizu Asahi's eyes, the well-hidden monster was actually openly exposed before him.

It's as if I have X-ray vision.

He quickly killed the monster, then dispelled the demonic energy around the village and set up a formation to protect them.

After politely declining the villagers' invitation, Qingshui Chaoyang headed towards the next village.

On this day, Shimizu Asahi passed through about ten villages. Except for the village at the front, which was protected, the other villages were in danger and many people died.

Seeing the weeping families, Shimizu Asahi took a deep breath, gave up his nighttime rest, and continued his pursuit.

For three days in a row, he was on the move and in pursuit.

If you can't hold on any longer, take a short rest.

And so, time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had gone by.

Over the course of two weeks, Qingshui Chaoyang finally completed the cleanup of his assigned area. All the residents were protected.

However... because time had passed, the total number of people in all the villages who died was over a thousand.

If he hadn't rushed his journey, the number would probably have continued to increase.

However, his situation is over, but I wonder how the others are doing...

Through the red thread of fate connecting them, he found Reiko, and coincidentally, Reiko, Ibuki, and Ariyoko were all together.

Having set off a day earlier than Shimizu Asahi and possessing even greater energy, they had already thoroughly resolved the issues in their assigned areas and were now debating whether to return or set off to support others.

"Now that things are settled here, let's go help Seimei and the others... Thank you for your help."

Shimizu Asahi looked at the girls and said softly, "Thank you for your trouble," but what he got in return was the girls' teasing.

"Hehehe... It's not allowed to complain to us, sir."

"There's no trouble at all. Since it's your decision, we won't have any objections."

"Well... let's not talk about this anymore. Let's go and see how things are over there."

One after another, the girls spoke, without a trace of impatience... Chapter 873, Section 871: Tragic Casualties

Shimizu Asahi and his group immediately set off again, and luckily, they received a paper crane from Kamo no Yasunori as soon as they returned to Heian-kyo.

Before the paper crane could even fly out of Heian-kyo, it was caught by Shimizu Asahi.

He unfolded the paper crane, examined it carefully, and then... a look of delight appeared on his face.

His dark eyes brightened slightly, and he immediately said, "Seimei and the others have returned. The matter is over."

"it's over?"

The girls looked at each other, stunned for a moment, but quickly shook their heads and said, "Since it's over, our mission is over too. You should go to the Yin-Yang Bureau, right? We won't go."

"We're waiting for you at home."

"Yes, I'll be back soon."

Without saying much more, Shimizu Asahi immediately flew towards the Yin-Yang Bureau after saying that, while Ibuki and the others smiled and then turned and flew towards home.

A short while later, Shimizu Asahi arrived at the Yin-Yang Bureau.

Just as he had guessed, when he arrived, Hagoromo, Seimei, and Kidomaru were already gathered there.

"Chaoyang?"

"Brother Chaoyang?"

The people sitting here stared at the clear water and rising sun falling from the sky, and subconsciously paused for a moment, seemingly not quite reacting.

They just messaged Shimizu Asahi, and Shimizu Asahi is here so soon?

"I've already taken care of things over there and just returned to Heian-kyo. I just received a paper crane from my senior brother."

After offering a brief explanation, Shimizu Asahi sat down next to Kidomaru.

"Thank you so much for your help this time."

He took a sip of tea and said this with a smile.

But as soon as he said it, Yu Yi retorted.
