The Legend of Tokyo Taoist

Chapter 796: Enemy in Honnoji Part 15 ()

Kabukicho is still so bustling at night. Neon signs are like moss, growing wildly in this place, everywhere, flashing different lights.

This is naturally a place where all kinds of people from all walks of life seek pleasure. Drunkards with ties tied on their heads can be seen everywhere, and no one will even look at them twice here.

It is in such a place that a wonderful combination appears, which makes passers-by look sideways.

In this group, there is a monk wearing a conical hat whose face cannot be seen clearly, a tall and strong man with a beard and muscular build, a hip-hop man with a headscarf and dreadlocks, and a woman in sportswear with a sword bag on her back and a neat ponytail.

The remaining young man with a backpack was the least noticeable one among them.

There was an inexplicable aura emanating from their group, and strangers were advised to stay away. They walked into a small alley in full view of everyone.

"To be honest, with our lineup, I don't think we will be defeated if we challenge any of the Hundred Demons' Lair." Xingba Rang carried a rather simple rectangular wooden box on his back and said as he walked, "But to deal with the descendant of Ashiya Doman... I'm not sure."

King Kong also sighed: "When Mr. Qian explained this to me, I was also shocked... I didn't expect that the leader of the alliance, Mr. Ashiya, would be such a person? Why didn't you tell me earlier? I was a little caught off guard. You obviously knew it that night, right? Am I so untrustworthy?"

"If I really didn't trust you, I wouldn't have told you this." Seeing that King Kong was actually a little bit upset, Qian Xiaoyi said, "If I had told you that day, are you sure you wouldn't show any abnormality in front of Ashiya Yoshisuke afterwards?"

"That's right~" King Kong silently turned his head back and smiled, "It will definitely be exposed. I'm really not very good at acting. In this case, it doesn't matter."

Hoshiba turned to look at Fushigi Yoko and asked, "Ms. Yoko, is everything okay now? You've been through that kind of thing before, so it doesn't matter if you don't come."

Fushigi Yoko looked very calm. She said, "No, I have to come this time. I have to put an end to the Yin matter. I know what I am doing. Please rest assured that I will follow Mr. Qian's instructions and will not act on impulse."

"Thank you for your hard work." Qian Xiaoyi said, "I still have great confidence in Miss Yangzi's ability, but has your body recovered?"

"It's okay." Fushigi Yoko said, "It's just lying down for a while. It will be fine after a few days of exercise."

At this time, Liuliyuan Hongming said: "We are going to enter there."

After hearing that, everyone stopped discussing those things and just walked forward quietly. They had already come to an alley whose location was unknown and they would soon reach their destination.

Several exorcists appeared not far away. They ran towards the crowd in panic, as if they were avoiding being chased by something.

"It's Mr. Hoshiba! And Mr. Qian!" An exorcist saw everyone and shouted, "Yellow Spring House! There's a ghost riot over there! It seems to be caused by Jizo! Lord Ashiya asked us to leave there and drove us out."

"I see, that's exactly where we are going." Xingchang Rang said.

"I leave it to you." The exorcists breathed a sigh of relief and left in a hurry.

"Has Miba already started the fight?" Qian Xiaoyi said, "It seems that Ashiya Yoshisuke is not so crazy as to use these people as cannon fodder. This saves us the trouble of driving them away. Let's go over there quickly."

They quickened their pace and met a few exorcists who were fleeing on the road. Qian Xiaoyi and his companions were like people going against the flow in the crowd. They went there knowing that there was a tiger there. After turning a few corners, the Yellow Spring House appeared in front of them.

At this time, the lanterns in the Yellow Springs House were extinguished, and the sliding door was wide open. It was pitch black inside and nothing could be seen. It was as if a monster had opened its mouth, inviting unsuspecting people to come in and devour their flesh and blood.

"Are you waiting for us? And you even cleared the venue?" Xingchang Rang snorted coldly: "Does this count as an admission of what happened that year?"

Liuliyuan Hongming took off his hat and threw it aside, saying, "We need to ask clearly to know whether it is true or not. Let's go in." Even a monk like Liuliyuan Hongming who practiced hard was still a little impatient at this time. He took the lead to walk inside and disappeared into the darkness.

"Hey, wait for us! Seriously." Xingchang Rang turned around and said, "Let's go in quickly too."

"Let's go." Qian Xiaoyi said, "According to the plan."

Everyone drew their weapons and rushed in.

After entering the darkness, everyone felt as if they were trapped in a quagmire. They felt that there was resistance everywhere around them and they could not see anyone.

"This way." A ray of light descended, illuminating the darkness.

Liuliyuan Hongming's whole body was shining with a faint soft light, like a human-shaped desk lamp, illuminating the surroundings.

It was only then that they realized that they were standing at the entrance to the Yellow Springs House. The door behind them was closed, and at the bar, there was a figure pouring wine by himself.

"It's him!" Fushigi Yoko drew out the magic sword [Blood Sakura] from the scabbard. Now everyone noticed the appearance of that person and immediately took a posture as if they were facing an enemy, ready for battle.

"It's really tense..." Ashiya Yoshisuke poured himself a glass of wine and sighed, "I'm sorry, young people, there seems to be a power outage at Huangquan House due to some malfunction. Please forgive me for the poor hospitality."

No one expected that Ashiya Yoshisuke was actually waiting for them here. This strangeness made everyone more cautious.

Qian Xiaoyi walked over, sat opposite Ashiya Jisuke, and asked, "Old man, you don't care about the monsters that broke into your house, but wait for us here. What do you think?"

Ashiya Jisuke looked at Qian Xiaoyi and said, "Since you came here, this place has really changed dramatically... I originally thought that you could bring some good changes here, so I condoned your behavior, but now it seems that this is not the case. As an outsider, you have crossed the line."

Qian Xiaoyi sneered.

"You should go back to your own country." Ashiya Yoshisuke said, "From the beginning, I have been polite to you. You should know very well that you cannot change the current situation. This is the same for anyone else. What you have done will only hurt innocent people and will not change anything."

"How do you know if you don't try?" Qian Xiaoyi asked.

"How do you know that no one has tried it?" Ashiya Yoshisuke smiled bitterly, then looked at Qian Xiaoyi and said, "Go back to your office. I can pretend that nothing happened and even help you destroy the Church of Hope. But... Mr. Qian, please don't cross this line again."

"Boundary? You mean...Xiaoju?" Qian Xiaoyi smiled and said, "For Xiaoju, you can do anything? What a cliché excuse."

The moment Qian Xiaoyi said Xiaoju's name, the surrounding walls collapsed, revealing a larger scene. Intricate corridors appeared beside them, just like an old-style Japanese inn. Behind those paper sliding doors, countless demon shadows were fighting with something, and from time to time, blood appeared on the other side of those sliding doors, just like hell.

"Then I can only ask you to stay here." Ashiya Yoshisuke said: "I need this alliance, but the alliance... doesn't need you."

"What a coincidence, that's what I thought too." Qian Xiaoyi said.

Ashiya Yoshisuke's figure gradually faded away, and the shadows of the ghosts were also slaughtered by something behind the sliding door.

Then, from far to near, the sound of sliding doors being opened could be heard from the corridors on both sides. Countless Shikigami with curtains on their faces walked out and looked at Qian Xiaoyi and the others.
