The Great Master of Gensokyo

PS2: My train of thought is a bit off, so I can only update 3 chapters for now. I will continue with 4 chapters on Monday.

Chapter 56 The Genji Rebellion

But why is Saigyouji Hanyu so nervous?

He was just worried that Cui Zi would misunderstand; he had no other intentions. It's just that explaining it would be a bit troublesome.

That being said, is it more appealing for someone whose sword can transform into a girl, or for someone whose girl can transform into a sword?

As for Yuzuru Saigyouji, he liked them both.

With the existence of the Demon Blade Princess, the danger for Saigyouji Hanyu in going to Heian-kyo was greatly reduced.

The political center of Japan, a place where demons and monsters gather, is no ordinary place.

At this point, Midori finally returned home after being comforted by Saigyouji Habu, leaving only him and Yaodao-hime in the room.

"Heian-kyo, huh?" At this moment, Saigyouji Hanyu was filled with anticipation, wondering what the political center of Japan would be like.

Saigyouji Hanyu was lost in thought, unaware of the enormous upheaval that would occur in Heian-kyo.

Such a huge change was something even Saigyouji Hanyu himself hadn't expected.

At the same time, in Heian-kyo (Beijing).

Having successfully escaped, Hagoromo Gitsune washed away the curse mark left by Seimei and gained her freedom.

Liuhe, one of the Twelve Divine Generals, was pursued by demons and monsters, but Yuyi Fox managed to escape.

Seimei's anger was understandable.

His twelve divine generals were bowing their heads, receiving a reprimand.

One of the twelve divine generals, Rokugo, died, and Abe no Seimei's demons and monsters were also lost.

The remaining eleven divine generals showed no sympathy for Liuhe's death. If they couldn't even capture a single Feathered Fox, then they shouldn't even talk about inheriting the position of one of the twelve divine generals.

It was only the other twelve divine generals, who were his colleagues, who suffered here, having to endure the wrath of their lord.

Abe no Seimei stepped out from behind the screen.

"You all know." He held a folding fan and wore a white hunting robe. He looked at his subordinates with a cold expression.

The Twelve Divine Generals are his most elite fighting force.

Secondly, there were the Oni of Mount Oe led by Jizo and Ibaraki-dōji, as well as some high-ranking demons.

Such power, capable of forming its own nation anywhere, has somehow committed such a grave error.

With Rokugo dead, Abe no Seimei could only vent his anger on his other divine generals.

Although Abe no Seimei appeared gentle, everyone present felt his imposing presence despite his lack of anger.

"My servant is guilty."

The twelve terrified generals spoke at this moment, not daring to even breathe.

"What crime have you committed?"

He spoke, his expression utterly indifferent.

"We failed in our mission and allowed Lady Feathered Fox to escape, and one of the Twelve Divine Generals, Rokugo, was killed in battle."

"Please punish me, Lord Seimei."

As the twelve divine generals finished speaking, the surrounding atmosphere fell silent, becoming exceptionally terrifying.

"You still know you were wrong? As the Twelve Divine Generals, you actually let a fox, who is inferior to you, escape. Moreover, you even lost one of the Twelve Divine Generals."

Abe no Seimei rubbed his forehead, unsure how to reprimand his subordinates.

"No matter the cost, you must bring her back to me."

"The position of the Six Harmonies will remain vacant for now, until a capable demon general takes office."

He sighed and said, "Let's get everything arranged."

Angry?

Of course I was angry, but it was all in vain.

All he hopes for now is to capture Hagoromo Gitsune as soon as possible.

Although Hagoromo Gitsune embodies the power of Seimei's mother, she is ultimately not Abe no Seimei's mother. Therefore, Abe no Seimei felt no affection for Hagoromo Gitsune, but only saw her as a tool to be used.

"Yes, Master Seimei."

Tengshe was the first to respond, and the other twelve divine generals had no objections.

When a position among the Twelve Divine Generals becomes vacant, a new demon general will usually take over.

However, this practice was never followed. During the more than 30 years that Seimei ruled Heian-kyo, no one was able to reduce the number of the Twelve Divine Generals.

No demon dared to offend the majesty of the great Onmyoji Abe no Seimei.

Who would have thought that Liuhe would die so suddenly?

...

"Lord Seimei, something terrible has happened."

The demon Kaku entered Abe no Seimei's courtyard, causing the Twelve Divine Generals, who were about to disperse, to pause in their tracks.

"What's all this commotion?" Abe no Seimei looked out of the courtyard and saw Kaku kneeling on the ground, trembling as he said, "The... the Genji clan has raised an army."

"Minamoto no Yorimitsu, along with the Four Heavenly Kings, led 50,000 demons, determined to conquer Heian-kyo, and even specifically named Lord Seimei as their target."

He sensed a sense of unease and fear, but Abe no Seimei remained indifferent.

"The Genji?" I never expected the Genji to raise an army at this time.

"Minamoto no Yorimitsu, have you finally lost your patience?" He laughed angrily. He had just suppressed his teacher a while ago, draining his spiritual power so that he could no longer be an Onmyoji.

The Kamo clan had just begun to suppress the Minamoto clan when the Minamoto clan couldn't wait to rebel.

"Lord Seimei, what should we do?" Gou Chen asked Abe no Seimei for his opinion. He and Tengshe exchanged a glance, looking eager to try.

The Vermilion Bird, the Heavenly Empress, and the twelve divine generals including the Moon Goddess were all eager to try their luck at this moment.

"Fifty thousand demon soldiers, the power that the Minamoto clan is wielding is truly terrifying. Well then, you all should let them witness the demons and monsters of my Abe no Seimei."

"If he dares to use 50,000 demon soldiers to trample Heian-kyo, then his entire Minamoto clan can expect to be wiped out."

"In the end, I'm the one who calls the shots in Heian-kyo."

At Abe no Seimei's command, the twelve divine generals, emboldened by the encouragement, appeared to be in high spirits.

A visible black mist shrouded the sky above Heian-kyo, and the pervasive demonic aura made the moonlit night in Heian-kyo appear exceptionally magnificent.

Not only were there demons and monsters belonging to Abe no Seimei, but also the demonic energy emanating from the demon soldiers of the Minamoto clan. The two were intertwined, highlighting the eerie moonlit night in Heian-kyo.

"Lord Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the 50,000 demon troops have been mustered." Sakata Kintoki, seated on his warhorse, addressed Minamoto no Yorimitsu, the commander of the Four Heavenly Kings, with humility and respect.

“Very good.” Minamoto no Yorimitsu smiled, a faint smile appearing on his lips. “Today, the era of Abe no Seimei will come to an end.”

"Let the world see who truly rules Heian-kyo."

"The day has come for you to drink blood, Onikiri."

He drew the blade from its sheath. Under the night sky, the blade was imbued with the resentment of countless dead demons; this was the blade that had slain the demon god Ibaraki-dōji.

P.S.: My thoughts are a bit scattered; I'll finish them tomorrow.

Chapter 57 The Beginning of Chaos in Heian-kyo

Watanabe no Tsuna gripped the Spider Cutter, his eyes fixed on his master with fervent intensity.

The four kings of the Minamoto clan gathered around Minamoto no Yorimitsu, and under their leadership, the Minamoto army marched toward Heian-kyo with high morale.

In the underworld, which is imperceptible to ordinary people, a great chaos is taking place.

That night, countless families felt uneasy.

The people in the city closed their gates, fearing the mischief of evil spirits.

Hakuzosu transformed into a mount, allowing Abe no Seimei to ride on its back.

"Lord Seimei, that is Minamoto no Yorimitsu's camp," Hakuzosu said to Seimei, wondering how Abe no Seimei would decide.

“He dares to oppose Heian-kyo. Heian-kyo is not just the property of the Minamoto clan. What an utterly foolish man, daring to oppose me.”

“Genji will definitely pay the price.”

Abe no Seimei chuckled lightly, a ruthless glint in his eyes.

"Lord Seimei, please let me go." Ibaraki-dōji's eyes burned with fervor, a hint of ruthlessness flashing across his face. He harbored a deep hatred for Watanabe no Tsuna, one of Minamoto no Yorimitsu's Four Heavenly Kings.

It was that damned Watanabe no Tsuna who brought an end to the prosperity of Mount Ōe.

"Hehe, go ahead." Seimei smiled, his eyes filled with anticipation.

What will happen when the Demon of Mount Oe encounters Watanabe no Tsuna again?

At this moment, Onikiri, having drunk the blood of countless demons, watched with smug satisfaction as his army entered Heian-kyo.

Beyond the camp, there are demons and monsters formed from the twelve divine generals of Abe no Seimei.

"Who gave you the audacity to act so disrespectfully in front of Lord Seimei?" Suzaku transformed into a giant, fiery red bird, sternly reprimanding Minamoto no Yorimitsu's camp.

"Heian-kyo is not Seimei's property."

"A mere half-demon is not qualified to be a Grand Onmyoji and to lead the Onmyo Bureau."

"Ikube Takeshi laughed, looking up at the giant firebird in the sky."

"You are nothing but a mixed-race demon from the mainland, and you are not qualified to be called the Vermilion Bird."

"How dare you act so presumptuously in front of us? You have a death wish."

Among the Twelve Divine Generals, Tengshe, Zhuque, and Baihu all possess the bloodline of divine beasts from the mainland, but it is unknown how many generations have passed since then.

If Abe no Seimei hadn't activated them through incantation, these yokai wouldn't have been qualified to wield the power of divine beasts.

"You're asking for it, Watanabe no Tsuna."

Suzaku looked furious, while next to Watanabe no Tsuna, Sakata Kintoki gave a malicious smile.

“A beast is a beast, there’s no need to be polite, right Watanabe?”

"Today is the day for us to once again achieve great things for the Genji."

He drew the sword from his waist, revealing a double-edged sword.

Are you ready to die?

"Sakata Kintoki, it's not your place to speak here."

The Teng Snake roared, and a chaotic battle broke out between the two sides.

Outside Heian-kyo, the growth of yokai transformed into a sea of ​​fire. The chaos, with its wails of yokai and sounds of slaughter, turned the area into an absolute hell.

A disaster is happening.

In the peaceful capital, the earth shook violently.

Above the demons, a giant green snake leaped out and lunged at Minamoto no Yorimitsu's camp.

Sakata Kintoki suddenly rushed forward, wielding the Kenmei Renken, and slashed at the Tengu that had transformed into its true form.

Under the cover of night, a crimson sword was unleashed. At that moment, under the power of the Vivid Chain Sword, Sakata Kintoki seemed to have transformed into a god of war.

This is a divine weapon forged by combining the power of the Genji clan.

"Sakata Kintoki, get out of my way."

The Teng Snake roared angrily, and the blue and crimson light collided, turning into a huge storm.

The clash between the ultimate human and the ultimate demon forces engulfed everything in a whirlwind.

The two fought in the air, and relying on the power of the Manifested Continuous Sword, Sakata Kintoki displayed a strength no less than that of the peak high-level demon, Tengu.

The Genji were able to forge divine weapons and enable samurai to wield superhuman power through them.
