Chapter 49 Jiujiujin Yigui

"you?"

Old man Matsudaira was shocked.

"Wait a minute, Baijie...you can't talk nonsense about this!"

"Matsudaira, don't interrupt."

A ghost interrupted the old man and narrowed his eyes.

"Also, what's your background?"

"I am a Chunin from the Kurohime clan."

Bai Jie said solemnly, "From my perspective, I shouldn't have interrupted, but now that things have come to this, it's better to make a decision than to hesitate."

"That makes sense."

Yigui nodded and looked at Ye Ming again.

"Then what do you think?"

"I...I've made up my mind. Lord Baijie is right. If that's what Big Brother wants, then we'll have a duel to decide the next head of the family."

"That's good."

A ghost nodded in satisfaction.

"Please wait a moment."

Bai Jie interrupted again, "Master Yigui, you are a powerful demon exorcist, while Master Yeming still lacks in spiritual cultivation. I think this duel should be as fair as possible... Why don't you two masters compare spiritual power and magic, and just fight purely with swordsmanship."

"Swordsmanship duel?"

A ghost touched his chin, closed his eyes and thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "That's fine~~ Anyway, I won't lose."

Hearing this, the girl's shoulders trembled and she looked at Baijie with a look for help.

"No, even if it's just a sword fight... I can't beat you, big brother... What should I do?"

"Don't worry."

Baijie held her shoulders.

"Lord Ye Ming, I will help you find a solution."

"But……"

She stood there, looking hesitant.

"It doesn't matter, I have a solution."

His voice was full of firmness.

Ye Ming turned his head with a slightly surprised expression.

"but."

He coughed again and said, "I have a suggestion. Can everyone pause for a moment and send Master Sando for treatment first?"

Only then did everyone remember that the abbot of Yuanxing Temple had been slumped nearby, with an expression that said, "I can still be saved~" and "Can you please stop talking and someone come and save me?"

……

"Are you guys okay?"

Baijie took the time to look for his deputy Yusaka and the accompanying Genin.

Fortunately, no one was injured. The Genin were lucky not to encounter the insect demon Zijiao that had entered the barrier.

"We encountered several low-level insect demons. They weren't numerous, but they were quite powerful... Several monks were killed along the way, and we were unable to stop them."

Tomosaka said that they were almost killed, but suddenly a group of men in black appeared and rescued them and the monks.

So that's how it is. It seems that he is the "Night Walkers" under my brother-in-law, and also a spy of the Hidden Dragon Agency.

Although Kukutsu Ikki became one of the "Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land", his job was to serve as the leader of the spies.

Previously, the insect demons invaded the temple and rescued these Genin and monks, who were the spies called "Night Walkers".

After confirming that his men were fine, Baijie ordered them to help take care of the injured monks.

Afterwards, he checked the damaged barrier again and found that the black-clad "Night Walkers" were repairing it.

"That's fine. These people are professionals, the elite of the imperial court. They also have experts in barrier techniques. We can just leave it to them."

Baijie walked around and came to a larger Buddhist hall in the temple.

The abbot, Master Sandao, was placed here to receive treatment from Kariyaba.

The eldest daughter of the Kariya family, who is the acting head of the family, is a full-time talisman master, and her talismans are a "universal" type of magic.

Regardless of his own abilities, he could use talismans to cast various spells. Master Shan Dao's entire body was wrapped in bandages and covered with talismans for pain relief and hemostasis.

At this time, Yue Jia Luo Ye Ming, Matsudaira Lao Ren, Ayaka and others were also staying in the Buddhist temple with a simple barrier set up.

"Baijie, you were too reckless just now... That proposal is very disadvantageous to us."

When old man Matsudaira saw him coming back, he immediately expressed his complaints.

"Kyuujin Ikki's swordsmanship is not weak. Although he is not a demon-slaying swordsman, he also has first-class swordsmanship."

"I know."

Baijie nodded.

"The Kurohimeyama family also has information on Ikki-sama. After all, he's one of the Twelve Guardians of the Holy Land, a prominent figure in the imperial court. I know he's skilled in spellcasting and swordsmanship... Also, the Kukutsu family has a unique physique."

He glanced at Yoshika Ayaka, coughed lightly, and lowered his voice: "It is said that the ancestors of the Kukutsu family used the blood of demons and aliens to give birth to extremely powerful offspring. They can easily defeat ordinary monsters with their own extraordinary physiques."

"There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Kariya Tomoe chuckled. "It's a method of mixing the blood of demons and monsters, then using various spells to strengthen the offspring. Hehe, most of the ancestors of today's famous exorcists have tried this kind of method. It's said that they also give women to demons to make them pregnant with monster children in order to gain the power of aliens."

"Brother Yigui has a superhuman physique. He's stronger than me even without using any magic..."

Her eyes were a little dim.

"I, although confident in my swordsmanship, but his freakish strength and swordsmanship are enough to overwhelm me."

"It's ok."

Bai Jie said calmly, "I never intended to win by normal means. In order to take the throne of the head of the family, I must use any means to achieve victory. Miss Ba, could you please come forward to help me? Letting Ikki-sama become the head of the family will not benefit the Kariya family in any way, right?"

"Oh, what do you have in mind?" Yanwuba asked curiously.

"Please ask Miss Ba to use the talisman to strengthen Lord Ye Ming from the sidelines."

"Huh? Baijie Chunin, are you asking me to help Ye Ming cheat?"

"Yes, it's cheating."

Baijie nodded.

"My previous proposal only stated that Lord Ye Ming and Lord Yi Gui could not use magic or spiritual power when fighting. It did not say that outsiders could not provide her with enhanced support."

He added, "As a professional spell caster, Miss Ba should be proficient in various strengthening spells. If any of them can be used, please give them all to Lord Ye Ming."

The red-haired girl thought about it for a moment, then suddenly understood what he was thinking and couldn't help but let out a mischievous laugh.

"Hahahahahahaha... This is so interesting! Okay! I'll help you..."

"But."

Elder Matsudaira asked hesitantly, "Master Ikki is not a fool. If he finds out that the young master is using talismans to strengthen himself, he can also use magic..."

"Then he loses."

Baijie said calmly, "Our proposal is that neither side can use magic on their own, but we never mentioned 'outsiders cannot use talismans to provide support from outside the field'. Also, as far as I know, Ikki-sama can only use the 'Incantation Spell' of the Kukutsu family. This spell is very powerful, but it also has a flaw."

"The flaw is... Big Brother needs to make a sound to activate the spell."

Ayaka suddenly spoke up: "The Curse Word Technique is a high-level Word Spirit Technique, but it is still a Word Spirit Technique in the final analysis. As long as he opens his mouth to activate the Word Spirit Technique, everyone can hear it."

Word spirit is a very common magic.

Its essence is the technique of using words to produce effects.

Among exorcists, those who are proficient in this art can scare away ordinary people with just a loud shout, or make monsters stop moving by shouting "stop".

The art of spell words is a technique that the Kukujin family has specialized in researching and achieving results. Its specific method is to hide spell tools and items engraved with "words" on the body, throw them out during battle, and then read the "word" loudly to activate its effect.

If the word "fire" is engraved on the magic tool, it will produce flames; if the word "explosion" is engraved on it, it will cause an explosion.

One ghost's way of fighting is to use a special sword called the Sword of Incantations, with the words "Life and death are all illusions, impermanent and swift" engraved on the blade.

Each word, when pronounced individually, can produce different effects. For example, pronouncing the word "sheng" can produce a healing effect; pronouncing the word "chang" can create a barrier and a barrier; and the word "xun" can increase one's speed several times...

'In addition, a ghost will also carry a large string of prayer beads with different characters engraved on them... These prayer beads can also produce different spell effects at will.'

Baijie recalled the fighting style of Kukutsu Ikki. The opponent was actually a unit that mainly attacked with spells, but because of the high panel values, the independent sword skills were also very strong, and there were many auxiliary means. It would be very troublesome to become an enemy in the game.

"On the other hand... the talisman can be hidden on the body. Lord Ye Ming attached the enhanced talisman to the inside of his clothes. After activation, the talisman will self-destruct. Even if we investigate afterwards, there will be no evidence."

Bai Jie's mouth curled up slightly. "Master Yigui can suspect us of cheating, but he won't be able to obtain any substantial evidence. In other words, this is a battle where only we can cheat, and the other side cannot."

……

"She really turned into a woman...Ye Ming, that child..."

Although he appears cold in front of outsiders, when he sees his brother-in-law, Kukutsu Ikki is deeply shocked.

"I thought that information was just a joke, a prank..."

As one of the supervisors of the Kakurome Agency, Ikki's responsibility, or rather the job assigned to him by the court, is to monitor the movements of the famous demon exorcist families in the Eastern Kingdom and prevent them from rebellion.

Naturally, he often received some secret information, including what happened in the "Spider's Nest".

"Feminization... What kind of strange curse is this?"

In order to get rid of his wavering heart, Kukutsu Ichiki sat down outside the corridor.

"Master Washizu, no, what expression would my father make if he knew about this...?"

After all, he is the kind of man with a cheerful and carefree personality who will accept any troubles calmly. He will only laugh and accept the changes in his children calmly.

"He's my son anyway, no..." The man couldn't help but burst out laughing, and then looked for an opportunity to make fun of Ye Ming.

"Now I have to call you daughter...hahahahaha!"

Jiujiutsu Ichiki shook his head. He could almost imagine his adoptive father's attitude, and his laughter could still be heard in his ears.

That cheerful man would definitely laugh and say, "Becoming a woman suits you very well~~", "You are worthy of inheriting the good bloodline of my wife and me", "You are quite pretty..."

"Stupid dad, don't make fun of me about this!"

Ye Ming puffed up his cheeks and complained continuously.

"But it will be difficult to get married next, or I should start looking for a son-in-law later."

Washizu would continue teasing his son until he really got Yeming angry.

Then, the two of them would have a huge argument.

At the same time, his sister Ayaka, who was standing aside and watching the crosstalk between father and son in a daze, could only look at him helplessly, hoping that he would come to save the situation.

——Of course, this is an imagination of the past.

A ghost knows that his previous life will never come back.

However, he always missed his life in the Yuejialuo family and remembered the kindness of his adoptive father and the Yuejialuo clan.

“That’s why—”

You need to be a "bad guy".

Ye Ming, forgive me for not being able to tell you the truth. After all, this is all too cruel.

Becoming the head of a family is not necessarily a good thing.

So, I can only try to stop you.

On the other hand, even if you cannot become the head of the family or an exorcist, it is not a bad thing for you.

Even if you become a woman and live as a woman, it doesn't matter... After all, you have hated fighting since you were a child, you don't like fighting with others, and you don't like bloodshed.

Yigui felt that for the sake of his younger brothers and sisters' future happiness, it would be a good thing to force them to leave this "vortex", even if that meant using force.

"unless."

A ghost pulled out the cursed sword from its sheath.

"Ye Ming, if you are really determined and want to win by any means necessary, then I will..."
