So even in such a thick fog, they could still feel each other's presence.

"Ma'am, can you hear me?"

"Yes, I can still see you."

Minamoto no Yorimitsu's answer summarizes useful information very succinctly.

This is cooperation between husband and wife.

Ian made a quick judgment.

This was simply fog transferred from somewhere else in the mountains, not a sorcery using the power of ghosts.

Then it will be much easier to handle.

Ian raised his hand and sensed the surrounding environment.

Soon, a ball of fire appeared in his hand.

In the blink of an eye, it spread in all directions at a terrifying speed.

Zila Zila.

The water mist in the air was burned away by the raging fire, making bursts of noise.

It only took Ian a short while to completely evaporate the mist around the two of them.

"Husband."

As the surroundings gradually became clearer, Minamoto no Raikou couldn't help but feel a little confused.

"If I remember correctly, you used the oil lamp in the corridor last time, right?"

"Then how did you make the flame appear out of thin air in your hand this time?"

Ian didn't hesitate and started explaining.

"There's a party going on nearby."

"banquet?"

Minamoto no Raikou heard a term that was almost impossible to appear here at this time.

Just as she was about to ask what was going on, she suddenly came to her senses.

That's right.

For "people", it is indeed impossible to hold a banquet at this time and in this place.

but if--

Is it a ghost?

For the ghosts of Oeyama.

It would be very interesting to see a group of people who didn't know what was good for them break into this territory and fall into the trap.

Maybe they are watching all this somewhere now and enjoying it happily.

Minamoto no Raikou thought clearly and looked at Ian beside him, and found that he was also looking at him.

Their eyes met, and the thoughts in their minds were self-evident.

"Are you kidding us?"

Minamoto no Raikou was holding the famous sword Kneemaru and looked a little angry.

As the eldest daughter of Genji, this was the first time she was teased like this.

"I think so."

Ian looked at the road ahead.

"And... I'm afraid it's not just this fog."

"Not just fog?"

"Yes." Ian nodded.

"Ma'am, we are no longer in the same position as before."

Looking at the different environment around him, Minamoto no Raikou did not doubt Ian's words.

But at the same time, she also had some doubts in her heart.

"But husband, didn't we take even a single step?"

"Yes."

“We literally haven’t taken a single step.”

As Ian said this, he took out his knife.

“But that doesn’t mean we won’t move.”

"…I don't quite understand." Minamoto no Raikou said truthfully.

"Please put it this way, ma'am."

"If there are chess pieces on a chessboard, and you want to move the pieces on it, how do you do it without touching them?"

"..."

Feeling that Ian was using this question to guide his thinking, Minamoto no Raikou began to think about it seriously.

Suddenly, she understood.

"Husband, could it be that you turned the chessboard around while keeping the chess pieces still?"

"Ma'am, you are really smart."

Ian looked at Minamoto no Raikou beside him with a smile, his eyes full of relief.

This is something that is often overlooked during chess games.

In fact, there are more things that can move than just chess pieces.

The chessboard is also something that can move - it is only because the rules restrict it.

As for the current situation, it is equivalent to Shuten-doji directly moving the land under their feet.

"Husband, this ghost seems to be quite powerful."

"Madam, are you afraid?"

"No."

Minamoto no Raikou stared straight at the road ahead with a determined look in his eyes.

"Rather, this is the first truly powerful ghost I've encountered."

"We can't lose to him."

"Sure enough, Madam thinks the same as I do."

Ian smiled confidently.

"Onmyoji really can't let the ghosts provoke him and then continue to swallow his anger."

[You absolutely cannot let Shuten-doji make fun of you like this.]

【You decide to crack it. 】

[Talented Great Onmyoji++ has been activated: You realize that Shuten-doji's magic and the ground are exhausted. ]

This is a direction to think about.

The movement of land brings about a change in scenery.

This causes confusion among the people involved.

So--

As long as we find something that can be used to identify the direction except the land, we can move on, right?

There are such things nearby.

Ian looked at the trees around him.

"Ma'am, let's go in the direction of the trees."

【Your judgment is correct. 】

【No matter how the land flows. 】

[The position of the trees always remains relatively static. ]

[This also means that if you move in the direction of the trees, then no matter how the land moves, it will not affect your and Minamoto no Raikou's observations.]

【And this is indeed the case.】

[You quickly got rid of the constantly changing land - Shuten-doji didn't seem to have set all areas of Mount Oe to flow in this way.]

You realize it's not over yet.

"Husband, the horse won't go any further."

"Maybe he's scared."

"Too--"

Minamoto no Raikou got off his horse.

"It's great that you can accompany us here."

"really."

Ian also dismounted.

"Ma'am, let's go on foot from now on."

"Ah."

Ian and Minamoto no Raikou moved forward with mutual support.

They were careful and cautious - after all, the opponent was a monster that even Oeyama could control at will.

"Speaking of which-"

"This Daie Mountain is so dangerous, will something happen to Tsuna and the others?"

Minamoto no Raikou asked with some concern.

"Madam, just trust them. After all, they have studied Yin-Yang magic with me for three years."

"and--"

Ian looked at everything around him.

"Don't you think Shuten-doji's attention is entirely on us?"

"Well, that's true."

Minamoto no Raikou nodded and tightened his grip on the sword.

"For example, those vines in front were also arranged by her, right?"

Just as Minamoto no Raikou said.

The two had just gotten rid of the flowing soil and were now directly faced with the attacking vines.

"You really underestimate me."

"Does this kind of thing just want to stop my husband and me?!"

Saying this, Minamoto no Raikou clenched his kneecap tightly and began to parry the vines in front of him.

As Ian's true disciple, she knew that when fighting against ghosts, it was necessary to cut the roots.

and so--

The moment the sword blade touched the vines, light flashed in Minamoto no Raikou's purple pupils.

Immediately afterwards, lightning flashed from the blade of Kneemaru.

Just for a moment.

The lightning passed along the vines.
