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

Moreover, the speed of that change in attitude surprised even him.

"Perhaps this is fate! Hahaha... Ah Li, now even fate is on my side, how can you escape from my grasp!"

Although he sensed something was amiss, the impending success of his plan prevented him from remaining calm, and he attributed this anomaly to fate.

......

In the market, the three members of the Shimizu family sat facing each other.

Mio Shimizu and Aonobo sat on one side, while Asahi Shimizu sat on the other side.

"Has Otawara gone mad?!"

The black-haired youth frowned slightly, deeply puzzled by the sudden actions of the Apricot Plain City Lord.

In fact, he didn't go to talk to Otahara about the Liren Pavilion during those three days. He had already witnessed Otahara's greed for A-Li, and bringing it up would likely cause trouble. Although he wasn't afraid of trouble, he wanted his sister to be undisturbed before leaving.

However, he did not expect that Otahara would take action at this time.

What he didn't expect was that, for his own selfish desires, he not only ruined this annual celebration to worship the gods, but also deceived and exploited the people!

If his plan succeeds, not only will the Liren Pavilion be burned down, but the songstresses inside will also lose their lives.

"We must stop him!"

Clench your fists, and Qing Shui Chao Yang makes a decisive move!

"But what are you going to do? These people's emotions have already been stirred up, and even if Otahara speaks up, he won't be able to stop it."

Qingnu sat quietly in the room, a hint of contemplation in her pale yellow eyes.

"Regardless, let's go to Otawara first..."

Before Qing Shui Chaoyang could finish speaking, a hurried voice came from the side.

"Everyone! We've spotted that demoness! Quick! We must kill her!"

P.S.: Second update, one more to go! Let's go!

Chapter 119 I can't hold on any longer, ... the lotus has misled me.

The author surrenders. There's no way I can update three times today. I originally wanted to stay up all night, but Lianhua kept bothering me during the day, and I couldn't keep up with my nutritional supplements. If I stay up all night again, I might just die of exhaustion tomorrow.

My life is at stake... I'll definitely update three chapters tomorrow, I promise! Trust me, author!

Adding more words! Adding more words! Adding more words! Chapter 117: The Gentian Crest, Genji! (Page 120)

"Hurry, hurry! She's over there, don't let her get away!"

"Everyone, we must kill that witch!"

In the darkness, howls like those of wild beasts echoed continuously, and under the firelight, the people moving about looked ferocious and terrifying.

The atmosphere changed silently; the laughter and joy of the day turned into the greed and evil of the night. The firelight could illuminate the surroundings, but it could not dispel the cold.

Watching the crowds surging toward a certain direction, Shimizu Asahi clenched his fist.

Ah Li was found so quickly?

"It seems we need to rescue that songstress before we go to Otahara," said Qingnvfang calmly after glancing around.

"But in that case, the Liren Pavilion will be burned down."

Shimizu Mio pointed to the dock.

On the shore, countless people boarded small boats, carrying torches and bows and arrows, and like mindless wild beasts, they tried to burn down the Liren Pavilion.

They split into two groups: one group pursued and killed Ali, while the other burned down the pavilion.

"We have no choice but to split up." Without time to think too much, Shimizu Asahi stood up. He looked at the girls in front of him and said, "Sister, Aonobo, I'm leaving Otahara and Rijin-kaku in your care. I'm going to rescue Ari!"

"it is good."

Shimizu Mio and Aonobo exchanged a glance, then nodded in agreement.

After the decision to divide the troops into three groups was passed, Shimizu Asahi immediately began the operation.

He followed in the footsteps of the people and soon passed through the market and residential area.

The flames grew brighter, the roars more ferocious, and the sounds reaching his ears made him increasingly irritable.

Fortunately, Ali hasn't been captured yet. As long as he stays with them, he can rescue her.

I breathed a slight sigh of relief, and the anxiety that had been lingering in my heart slowly disappeared.

However, once the eagerness subsided, a hint of doubt quietly emerged.

Qingshui Chaoyang frowned, his dark eyes flashing with suspicion.

Only then did he realize that the people's reaction might have been a bit too extreme.

Even if they loathe monsters, they wouldn't be so easily provoked by just a few words. Without time to ferment and spread among the people, they couldn't possibly be so indignant... In fact, the roars and shouts that erupted gave the impression that they were the monsters themselves.

Did Otahara use some kind of method?

He couldn't help but have such doubts.

However, at that moment, a chilling aura suddenly descended upon us without warning.

Shimizu Asahi instinctively shivered, and his wandering thoughts were almost instantly pulled back.

He stopped in his tracks, his dark pupils reflexively scanning his surroundings.

Then, in the next instant, his pupils widened!

"This is!?"

An empty street appeared before him.

What happened? Wasn't I following the people's lead? How could this suddenly...?

Astonishment and confusion surfaced in his eyes, but before he could figure out the reason, his hair suddenly stood on end—a sense of crisis, as if he were being stared at by a venomous snake, overwhelmed him like a tidal wave!

The fog quietly gathered, darkness silently descended, and the once bright street dimmed without a sound. An unfamiliar presence appeared behind us.

A chilling fear made the boy clench his fists. An extremely cold aura filled the surroundings. Shimizu Asahi took a deep breath of the icy air, then turned around...

......

After Shimizu Asahi left the market, Aonofusa and Shimizu Mio also began their operation. After a brief discussion, they assigned their respective tasks.

The two parted ways on the shore and headed toward their respective goals—Shimizu Mio headed toward Otahara, while Aonobo headed toward Rijinkaku.

The black-haired girl walked forward at a leisurely pace, as if taking a stroll in a garden.

However, her delicate face was as cold as ice, and her dark eyes flashed with a chilling light. The girl... carried a cold killing intent.

What Otahara wanted to do, and what the people of Anbara Castle would do, Shimizu Mio didn't care about any of that. What she cared about was the time she spent with her younger brother.

Anyone who disturbs her time with her brother will pay the price!

However, as Shimizu Mio headed towards Otahara, the sea fog silently spread, engulfing the entire shore in the blink of an eye.

At the same time, a tremendous force descended from the sky.

Shimizu Mio stopped in her tracks.

A burly man entered her field of vision...

......

On the other side, Qingnvfang stepped onto the wide wooden bridge.

Lidao is an offshore island. If ordinary people want to go to Liren Pavilion, they must take a small boat. However, taking a boat is inconvenient, and nobles who come to drink and make merry often complain about this. In order to facilitate the entry and exit of guests, Liren Pavilion specially built a wooden bridge connecting Lidao and Xingyuan.

Before the Qingnvfang, countless people had already set foot here.

They roared ferociously and charged towards the attic like wild beasts.

The women wanted to escape, but the vicious people left them nowhere to run. Even if they jumped into the sea to escape, countless ships were waiting for them... They desperately explained and begged, willing to give anything to save their lives.

But it was useless.

The people considered them to be accomplices of the demons, and regarded the entire Liren Pavilion as a demon's lair—they wanted to burn this place down, to burn this island to the ground!

Strolling across the wooden bridge, the blue-haired girl gently raised her head, her pale yellow pupils reflecting a scene of hell.

"That's why I hate humans..."

A soft murmur rang out.

Accompanied by a low murmur, a chilling, pale aura quietly spread.

Ice rose from beneath the girl's feet, spreading like a sweeping storm.

Then, the wooden bridge, the sea, the people—everything before the girl's eyes was frozen in ice!

"You'll stay inside until this is resolved."

......

At this moment, the silent, deserted streets were shrouded in mist. Qingshui Chaoyang stared intently ahead.

Deep within that mist lurks a monster... a ferocious, brutal, and ruthless monster!

The chilling aura stung his skin like needles, and the enemy before him was as powerful and terrifying as a demon-like Oni-maru!

"tread!"

Suddenly, the silence was broken, and a voice came from the mist.

His dark pupils contracted slightly, and his tense body bent down gently. Qing Shui Chaoyang entered the preparation phase.

The next moment, figures appeared in the mist, but what he didn't expect was... countless figures came into view!

The enemy...is there more than one?

The crisp sound of footsteps rang out continuously, not only from the front but also from behind!

Under the boy's cold gaze, countless figures pierced through the mist, revealing their forms.

However, the moment I saw them, shock welled up in my eyes.

Wearing the Yin-Yang Hunting Robe and the Dragon Gallant Clan Crest, the people who appeared before him were members of the Minamoto clan!
