The Great Master of Gensokyo

"The smaller ones command a portion of the demons and monsters, while the larger ones are controlled by the two monster leaders, Kyokotsu and Ibaraki-dōji."

"That's what Ksitigarbha replied."

"Lord Yuzuru, we are willing to submit to you and Lord Hagoromo Gitsune."

"I just want to know, what will you do with us?"

The yokai (supernatural beings) of Heian-kyo have lived there for far too long. They are unwilling to leave Heian-kyo and at least want to enjoy the same treatment they received during the Abe no Seimei era.

During the reign of Abe no Seimei, the yokai (supernatural beings) of Heian-kyo (Kyoto) were an important force in maintaining balance among the Onmyoji (masters of Onmyoji) of Heian-kyo.

"You will come under the command of Hagoromo Gitsune, or important figures will form a 'Hundred Demon Contract' with me and become the Hundred Demon Shikigami I need."

"Furthermore, I need to see what use you are. Otherwise, you have no right to remain in Heian-kyo."

Yuzuru's smile was like smoke.

"The Genji Rebellion has not yet been quelled; are you not afraid of us?"

"A mere monster dares to stir up trouble in Heian-kyo? The Genji are nothing to worry about."

Yuzuru gave a cold laugh, and the surrounding air seemed to become heavy.

Jizo was drenched in sweat. Hagoromo Gitsune's gaze fell on the demon before her. "If you don't understand, would you like me to repeat myself?"

"Please forgive my rudeness..."

"We are willing to submit."

The clever Dizang immediately chose to back down.

Yuzuru spent some time subduing the demons of Heian-kyo. Like Onikiri, he formed a 'Hundred Demon Contract' with Jizo, Kyokotsu, and Ibaraki-dōji.

This means that Yuzuru possesses power beyond his original shikigami, and Riku can borrow this power to instill fear, just like the Lord of Demons and Monsters.

The power of fear from yokai, the curse power of onmyoji, and the unique spiritual power of shrine maidens.

These three types of power are what Yuzuru is researching and trying to control. He can also sense the power of fear from those around Hagoromo Gitsune.

The shrine maiden possesses unique spiritual power; as long as Yuusuke speaks, Midori will do her utmost to help him.

Not to mention, the power of Miketsuhime is still dormant within him.

Our goddess will soon be put to real use.

Once summoned and possessed, Yuzuru used Kagura Rin's power to squeeze Miketsu's divine power.

I wonder if Miketsu will still have the strength to fight against a monster like Orochi.

Using the gods as mere tools, our certain Onmyoji is truly despicable.

However, Yuzuru Hanyu was unaware of this.

...

After Abe no Seimei's defeat and death, the true victor will undoubtedly be Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

If it weren't for the annoying Saigyouji Hanyu interfering, Minamoto no Yorimitsu would have successfully taken over Heian-kyo by now.

“Those Onmyoji families are so stubborn and incorrigible.” Minamoto no Yoshitsune was particularly annoyed.

The victory of the Minamoto clan is imminent. Perhaps Minamoto no Yorimitsu will be able to surpass Abe no Seimei as the Great Onmyōji and directly become the Shogun appointed by the Emperor.

What do those guys in Heian-kyo have to compete with the Genji?

"Brother, let us attack Heian-kyo." Minamoto no Yoshitsune was Minamoto no Yorimitsu's youngest brother.

He held an extremely high position within the Minamoto clan and was even appointed as a general by Minamoto no Yorimitsu.

However, he greatly admired his elder brother, because among the Minamoto clan, only Minamoto no Yorimitsu was comparable to Abe no Seimei in terms of Yin-Yang Dao talent.

Moreover, he gained the approval of the snake god and made Yamata no Orochi his shikigami.

Such achievements are unmatched by anyone in the Minamoto clan.

“That’s right, Lord Minamoto no Yorimitsu. This is a great opportunity for the Minamoto clan to demonstrate its military might after being driven out of Heian-kyo by that guy Abe no Seimei.”

The divine intervention in Heian-kyo and the defeat of Abe no Seimei were initially unbelievable to the Minamoto clan.

Once the news was confirmed, they all seemed to see the dawn of victory.

“Those guys in Heian-kyo are really ungrateful.” Minamoto no Yorimitsu sneered. “They think they can stop the Minamoto clan by relying on a mere brat.”

Upon learning the source of the news, Guang couldn't help but reveal his anger.

They had been held back for some time by the illusion and serpentine nature of Heian-kyo, and Minamoto no Yorimitsu had now exhausted his patience.

"Let's set off, storm Heian-kyo, and show them the might of the gods!"

The dawn of victory is just around the corner.

...

Heian Jing.

The Onmyoji families, who had previously been hesitant and undecided about their next move with the Genji, all received news that the Genji were about to launch an attack.

Panic gripped Heian-kyo, and immense fear enveloped the city.

"What should we do... The Genji will soon be able to retake Heian-kyo."

"If the Minamoto clan were to truly regain control of Heian-kyo, would we Onmyoji still have a chance to survive?"

The Genji used Onmyoji, just like samurai, as tools and weapons.

The cultivation of demon soldiers, and the use of evil spirits to nurture divine weapons and strengthen warriors.

Genji was a man who pursued power to the extreme.

If the Minamoto clan became the Grand Onmyoji of Heian-kyo and took control of the city.

The first thing the Genji would do would be to incorporate the Onmyoji families of Heian-kyo into an army to fight against the yokai.

That kind of outcome is not what the Onmyoji families of Heian-kyo want to face.

"We have no choice but to rely on the power of Master Daoman."

"And there's also that disciple of Master Chugyo, Saigyouji Habu."

The Onmyoji families in Heian-kyo all made their choices.

When faced with a formidable enemy, each Onmyoji family united as one to protect their own interests.

Even the branch family of the Abe clan, now the Tsuchimikado family, is mobilizing resources to organize a counterattack against the Genji clan.

...

Not long ago, they still had the idea of ​​surpassing Yuzuru, but now all the Onmyoji families have chosen to rely on Yuzuru's power.

Kamo family residence.

The Amakawa clan, the Kagami clan, the Jinguji clan, the Yakoin clan... more than a dozen patriarchs of these Onmyoji families who originally lived in Heian-kyo gathered here.

Some of them originated from the Oni-slayer clan, which grew from a weak exorcist clan into an Onmyoji family.

"So humans are really interesting." Hagoromo Gitsune pursed her lips, finding the sight before her extremely amusing.

When disaster struck, these guys finally thought of relying on Saigyouji Hanyu's power.

She and Midori stood beside Yuzuru, who sat calmly in the head seat and said, "Please have some tea, everyone."

With Himari and Yoto-hime serving them, the heads of these Onmyoji families living in Heian-kyo looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Lord Yuzuru, the Genji clan will soon be marching to Heian-kyo. What are your thoughts on this?"

At this moment, a clan leader who looked young spoke up.

He is the patriarch of the Tianhe clan. He took control of the clan at the young age of thirty and is well-known among Onmyoji.

“We need to rely on your strength, otherwise we will not be able to resist the Minamoto clan’s takeover,” an old man continued.

“The Genji taking over is indeed a big problem.” Yuzuru smiled. “However, I’d rather solve something else.”

“You are unwilling to serve Minamoto no Yorimitsu as your lord and control Heian-kyo.”

"Then are you willing to serve me as your master?"

Yuzuru's gaze was like a knife. He indeed had no foundation in Heian-kyo, but the power of the Kamo clan could be used for him for the time being.

The presence of Hagoromo Gitsune and the group of yokai in Heian-kyo controlled by Yuusuke is undoubtedly a source of pressure for the Onmyoji present.

"I don't want Heian-kyo to descend into chaos after I've resolved the Genji rebellion."

He tapped the table lightly, his tone somewhat casual.

“I have no interest in touching your existing interests. All I ask is that you submit to me personally.”

Yuzuru gave these people a choice.

"Lord Yusheng, it's not that we are unwilling to pledge our loyalty to you." The patriarch of the Tianhe clan hesitated slightly.

The others, too, seemed to want to give some reason.

In an instant, an invisible fear descended.

"So, you think I'm not qualified to replace the former Abe no Seimei and be worshipped as your master?"

Yuzuru's tone was slightly cold, making one feel as if they were surrounded by boundless fear.

The hagoromo-gitsune standing beside Yuusuke exuded the malice of a lord of demons and monsters.

Chapter 127 Accepting the Challenge (Please Subscribe!)

It was not only the malice of the Lord of Demons and Monsters, but also the malice of the Yuusuke Hyakki Shiki-sho, that surged forth like a tide.

Onikiri, wielding a demon sword, revealed himself in the darkness; Yoto Hime remained unmoved, while Hishime, standing guard beside Midori, was ready to strike at any moment.

The smiling spider lily simply gazes at the many humans before it, as if the surrounding area is blooming with red spider lilies.

For the first time, the patriarchs of these Onmyoji families felt death so close.

"The Kamo family submits to me, and the Kasakain family is my ally. Do you have any other choice but to choose me?"

The overwhelming malice sent shivers down my spine.

Well, there is only one answer.

"My Tianhe family is willing to pledge allegiance to Lord Yusheng!"

The patriarch of the Tianhe clan chose to pledge allegiance.

Aside from a few fools, it quickly became the mud for the blooming red spider lilies.

The other Onmyoji clan leaders all made wise choices.

"On behalf of the Kagami-mori family, I pledge my allegiance to Lord Hanyu."

"I am going home and I am willing to pledge my loyalty to Master Yuzuru."

“Very good.” Yuzuru clapped his hands and smiled gently. “From today onwards, I will rule Heian-kyo.”

Before the final battle with Genji, the last hidden danger had been eliminated, and Yuzuru could now focus on organizing his forces.

It's better to make things clear now than to get bogged down in ambiguity.

...

He had no interest in dealing with those who didn't obey him; there were many such people in Heian-kyo.

Only if Yuzuru successfully defeats the Minamoto clan will his status as the ruler of Heian-kyo be fully confirmed.

At that time, the entire Heian-kyo will be brought under our control.

"Don't you think I look scary?"

"No, I know that Lord Yuzuru isn't usually like that. After all, how could Lord Yuzuru get those guys to obey if he didn't act like that?"

Midori couldn't help but say that, from Yuzuru's perspective, she would naturally consider Yuzuru's feelings.
