Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Kidomaru is a near-Special Grade Demon, and has already mastered his own version of the Myriad Demons.

Kuramayama, the strongest among them, possesses top-tier demonic power. Not long ago, he even achieved enlightenment and mastered the "Senra Banshou: Domain Expansion," making him a true top-tier demon, comparable to Hagoromo Gitsune, who is still in a weakened state in this life.

"Still so impatient, you little devils of the Thousand Demon Parade."

"This voice!"

Before the other monsters could notice, Hagoromo Gitsune, who had been kneeling, slightly rose.

"It's been a long time, Hagoromo Gitsune."

Suddenly, two figures, one in gold and one in silver, appeared in the sky above the Fuji Pass, standing directly opposite the Kyoto yokai.

The surrounding space and time shifted, and a vast sea of ​​white clouds replaced the night.

Countless lanterns hung in the air, and beautiful and lovely fox spirits stood on both sides, waiting for Kong Huan and Yu Yao's instructions.

"The gods..."

Kidomaru frowned at first, then his pupils contracted slightly, and he exclaimed in surprise, "All of them?!"

Kūgen and Gyō, Kidōmaru knew them all.

They were top-tier demons a thousand years ago, and in terms of seniority and strength, they were the most powerful on Mount Kurama.

Even when the Nue was alive, these two great spirit foxes dared not easily become its enemies.

"Senior Konghuan, Mr. Yuyao."

When Hagoromo Gitsune first possessed a human, she did not coexist with humans, but rather merged with a white fox in the mountains.

This is why Hagoromo Gitsune's spirit was fixed in the form of a fox.

She had long been accustomed to and accepted her identity as a fox.

"Since you are two great spirit foxes, it is only right that I wait a moment."

Feathered Fox dared not be presumptuous, after all, they were two senior members of the fox clan.

Moreover, judging from their appearance, Konghuan was radiating divine light, clearly having ascended from a celestial fox to a true Inari god.

'How can it be? ’

Yu Yao was even more extraordinary, making Yu Yi Hu feel that he was unfathomable and secretly wondering if he had already cultivated into the legendary Void Fox.

The power of the gods has a great restraining effect on demons.

Of course, the monsters here refer to evil spirits that have absorbed the curse and greatly increased their power.

If a monster is untainted by a curse, it is on equal footing with the gods.

However, the Thousand Demons Parade was not a good person to begin with. Among them, the ghostly figures Ibaraki and the spirit mole cricket were ruthless killers. Their curses made them almost gleaming black in the eyes of the fox girls.

The divine power could purify the curse, which made the demons of Kyoto very uncomfortable.

Even from a distance, the aura emanating from the fox spirits, both large and small, burned their faces and skin like acidic mist.

Even on a spiritual level, a certain degree of rejection arose, an instinctive desire to distance oneself from these divine messengers.

"I haven't seen you for a while."

Yu Yao is a merchant who used to make many talismans and magical artifacts and sell them to various forces.

She remained neutral, not participating in direct combat, but she did indeed provide significant assistance to Thousand Ghosts Parade.

Yes, the Nura Clan from the Hyakki Yagyō (Night Parade of One Hundred Demons) is the same.

Yuyao is a pure arms dealer, and sometimes he even hopes that Nura Rihan and Hagoromo Gitsune will fight for a while longer in order to make his business more prosperous.

In this way, both sides can continue doing business and make her a fortune.

"You, could you be the leaders of the Shangluo people?"

Yu Yi Hu glanced at the fox girl beside Kong Huan Yu Yao.

But upon seeing this, even Hagoromo Gitsune was somewhat shocked.

'How can there be so many!'

All the fox spirits I saw were benevolent fox spirits who had become messengers of the divine Inari deity.

If you count them randomly, there are at least twenty or thirty people.

'So many divine messengers…'

Feathered Fox was filled with doubt and suspicion. She guessed that the two foxes were the people behind Shangluo, otherwise how could they have so many divine messengers assisting them?

You should know that it is already very powerful for a god to have two or three divine messengers by his side.

Deities are not good at fighting, so many literary gods rely on divine messengers for protection.

The number and strength of divine messengers largely determine the power of a god.

'But isn't that a bit too much!'

The Inari God's messengers weren't particularly strong, but their sheer number was simply outrageous.

What kind of deity could raise so many benevolent foxes possessing divine qualities?

Hagoromo Gitsune herself was once a benevolent fox, and she was even fortunate enough to cultivate into a celestial fox.

If her foundation hadn't been damaged by a human hunter's arrow, she wouldn't have completely transformed into Hagoromo Gitsune, constantly possessing human women and embarking on the path of the nine-tailed fox demon.

Therefore, Hagoromo Gitsune was well aware of how difficult the path was for foxes to cultivate themselves into benevolent foxes, gain divinity, and finally become messengers of some god.

"How dare we call ourselves leaders?"

Yu Yao knew that Kong Huan didn't like to speak in official jargon, so he just let her accompany and cheer him on from the side, while he himself went to Qian Gui Ye Xing and said: "The Shangluo Clan are merely servants who serve their master. I am only fortunate enough to have received the lord's favor."

That statement sounds pretentious, but Yu Yao wasn't wrong at all.

Perhaps here, Yu Yao possesses the immense power to instantly annihilate the Thousand Ghosts Parade.

But in front of Gu Yun, she was just a fox plush toy that he could pet however he wanted.

"The crowd in Shangluo..."

At this moment, Hagoromo Gitsune truly realized how terrifying the people of Kyoto were.

The swordsman Guhuoniao, even with only the demonic power of a high-ranking demon, possesses the strength to rival that of a great demon.

If her demonic power were stronger, reaching the Special Grade, or even if she were a Great Demon herself, then even Hagoromo Gitsune wouldn't dare to imagine her strength.

As for now, Yu Yao and Kong Huan are both acquaintances of Yu Yi Hu.

They had known each other for over 2000 years.

At that time, the two foxes were only benevolent foxes who had cultivated for five or six hundred years, and the feathered fox had just begun to develop intelligence and transformed into a fox.

Yu Yi Hu knew them well, and now seeing the immense divine aura emanating from them, she was even more convinced that they had achieved perfect merit and truly ascended to heaven to become gods, making them worlds apart from her.

Despite wielding power and influence in the human world, Feathered Fox still felt ashamed and inferior in the face of Emptiness and Jade Radiance.

It's like everyone went to the same high school, and when they meet again ten years later, Konghuan has become a university professor, a renowned doctor, and a top lawyer; Yuyao has become an entrepreneur and a female CEO; while Yuyihu has gone into business.

Thinking of this, Hagoromo Gitsune felt her cheeks burning and was filled with shame.

Fortunately, she only chose to fall into depravity for the sake of her child.

A mother should do her best.

For this reason alone, Hagoromo Gitsune did not consider herself inferior to the two foxes.

"That one," Hagoromo Gitsune asked, "is he a great deity from the heavens?"

It could make the Inari God and Yuyao, who had cultivated into a Void Fox, willingly serve by his side.

Hagoromo Gitsune could hardly imagine what kind of being the other was.

Is it Okonomiyaki?

But Uka no Mitama God perished many years ago.

And even if it were her, she wouldn't be qualified to have two foxes serving her, would she?

Inari was Miketsu's deputy, not a retainer.

Sora no Koko possesses divinity and divine status equivalent to Miketsu, and the two are essentially of equal status.

"Our master is not a god."

Kong Huan disliked the gods: "How can mere gods and Buddhas be compared to him?"

"..."

Well, Kūgen's words were beyond Hagoromo Gitsune's comprehension. Since she couldn't understand them, she could only see for herself.

"Next, please keep your retainers in check."

Yu Yao warned, "If you offend the master, even we sisters cannot protect you."

Although they were both foxes, they didn't have any connection with each other.

If they really offended Gu Yun, not to mention the other shikigami, the two of them wouldn't let Hagoromo Gitsune off the hook.

"My concubine understands."

Hagoromo Gitsune has possessed many people, and four hundred years ago she even led the Toyotomi clan and confronted Tokugawa Ieyasu.

Previously, it was others who worshipped her, but now, the roles have reversed.

However, for the sake of her child Nue, Hagoromo Gitsune, having mastered the art of flexibility, showed great respect.

However, this attitude really displeased the other demons.

They know nothing of the illusory Jade Radiance, nor do they care about the gods. Their servile attitude is truly suffocating.

"No rudeness!"

Hagoromo Gitsune noticed her subordinates' dissatisfaction and quickly rebuked them, saying, "Lord Kūgen and Mr. Gyūyō are no less powerful than great demons, and they are also my seniors. We need their help, so we must not act recklessly on their territory."

These words, seemingly praising the people of Shangluo, were actually a veiled warning to the Thousand Ghosts Night Walkers that their opponent was very strong and to be careful.

With two powerful demons and the Guhuoniao, that makes three.

Most importantly, this was a trap.

They're heading to each other's territory now. If you cause trouble in someone else's home, you might get a signal to smash a glass and have your assailants rush out to tear you to pieces or chop you into mincemeat.
