Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Gu Yun took a sip of tea. He took away Hagoromo Gitsune's nine Killing Stones, in exchange for 'temporarily sparing the demons of Kyoto'.

As for other things, Gu Yun made no guarantees.

If you want to continue to receive his protection, then continue to hand over the Killing Stone.

"Sir, how much do you want?"

"I'll take as many as you have," Gu Yun said. "But what you really want to ask about is the cycle and quantity, right?"

"You tell me the quantity first, and I'll see if it's suitable."

Gu Yun can read minds, so he knows very well whether Yu Yi Hu is deceiving him.

"I am able to find the Killing Stone through a special connection."

The Sesshōseki was left by Tamamo-no-Mae, who was a nine-tailed fox spirit. Therefore, the Sesshōseki would also send messages to other nine-tailed fox spirits, attracting them to come.

Hagoromo Gitsune was well aware of Tamamo-no-Mae's terrifying power and dared not rashly absorb the power within the Sessho-seki.

Otherwise, the inherited memories and curses within might completely corrupt her, turning her into someone else.

"How about one fragment a year?"

"Ah"

Gu Yun shook his head and said, "In your eyes, is this all I'm capable of?"

"what?"

"One dollar a year? Do you expect me to protect you for a hundred years?"

With Gu Yun's help, if he wanted, he could help Hagoromo Gitsune revive Kuro Seimei within a year.

"Pay one piece within a year, and pay one piece at a time."

Gu Yun interrupted Yu Yi Tsuru, saying bluntly, "I want you to do everything in your power to search for the Killing Stone! Mobilize all the demons under your command and do everything in your power to find it!"

"this!"

Hagoromo Gitsune was somewhat angry: "That's impossible, they..."

"Anyway, as long as you focus on your pregnancy, nothing else matters, right?"

"!!!"

Yes, that's the key to Gu Yun's complete control over Hagoromo Gitsune.

Hagoromo Gitsune only wants to revive Kuro Seimei.

She wasn't really that concerned about the demons and ghosts of Kyoto.

Of course, Hagoromo Gitsune doesn't mean she ignores them; she definitely still has feelings for them.

Especially for subordinates like Kyokotsu and Kidomaru, who have followed him for many years, how could he easily abandon them?

What Hagoromo Gitsune doesn't care about is the Thousand Demons Parade seizing territory and conquering Japan.

She has no such ambition, nor does she want to be the master of the Thousand Ghosts Night Parade.

In that case, Hagoromo Gitsune and Senki Yagyō could completely put aside their development and territorial expansion and focus all their efforts on helping Gu Yun find the Killing Stone.

"Letting them go find the Killing Stone is acceptable."

Yu Yi Tsukigami hesitated, "But I still need to accumulate demonic power for my child..."

"Through cannibalism?"

Gu Yun felt it was inappropriate to say who was right or wrong, good or evil.

If this were the world he lived in before he transmigrated, there would be nothing to say; whatever humans did would be right.

Even if they make mistakes, who, besides humans themselves, would blame them?

Plants and animals can't talk.

But here, everything has a spirit.

Even if you smash a stone, the stone will harbor resentment and curse you.

Similarly, animals and plants can develop consciousness, but how can humans, who constantly destroy and kill, expect themselves not to be eaten by demons, and say that it is wrong to say that demons eat people?

"I am a human being, at least for now."

One's stance determines one's way of thinking. Since Gu Yun is human, he naturally wouldn't allow Yu Yi Fox to eat people.

In fact, Gu Yun really couldn't handle the conflict between demons and humans.

There are thousands upon thousands of demons in Kyoto, and they are spread too widely.

He couldn't possibly control every single demon; that would be too much of a waste of his energy.

But Hagoromo Gitsune is different.

As the leader of the Thousand Ghosts Parade, if she could set an example and manage things layer by layer, she would be much more efficient than Gu Yun.

At least the number of demon attacks on humans will decrease by 70-80%, which shouldn't be a problem.

Gu Yun felt that achieving this much was enough, and there was no need to strive for perfection.

"I can provide the spiritual power you need."

Gu Yun: "I also want to tell you not to waste any more time and to find the Killing Stone for me."

Gu Yun had plenty of ways to deal with demonic power. He could even create a masked demon to provide the Feathered Fox with pure spiritual power for him to absorb. It couldn't be easier for him.

In this way, the demons of Kyoto will no longer attack humans, and Hagoromo-Gitsune will no longer eat people.

They could wholeheartedly serve as Gu Yun's henchmen under his protection.

As for what happens afterward, whether it will be war or peace.

Then we'll have to wait until Kuro Seimei is resurrected before we can talk to Gu Yun.

"Your Excellency, are you serious?"

Yu Yi Tsukigami was somewhat incredulous, as she worshipped the Liver faith and consumed people who possessed spiritual power.

You know my last name, right?

"Iijima?"

Hagoromo Gitsune suddenly realized: "You are, that Wild Fox Zen, a member of the Iijima family?"

Snails are quite famous in the supernatural and demon worlds; even Hagoromo Gitsune has heard of them.

However, she hadn't initially thought in this direction, but upon realizing it now, she immediately knew Gu Yun's identity.

The opponent was a warlock, and a top-tier one at that.

Her child was originally a half-demon sorcerer, and Hagoromo Gitsune was surprised, but not unable, that a human could reach such a level.

"Now you know how lucky you are, right?"

Gu Yun's earlier statement about sparing their lives was indeed true: "The Iijima family's divine control technique can nurture demons, enhance their spiritual power, and purify the curses on them."

"I don't need you to submit to me. In fact, you are not worthy to be my shikigami."

These words made Hagoromo Gitsune's lips twitch slightly, clearly angered by Gu Yun.

“But it’s just pure spiritual energy,” Gu Yun said. “The Divine Control Technique can completely solve your problem.”

"Clap clap."

Gu Yun clapped his hands, and a crimson figure hopped over to Hagoromo Gitsune: "This is a special monster I created, which I call 'Lucky Daruma'."

"You made me eat it?"

Hagoromo Gitsune sized up the Fortune Daruma, which was round and plump, like a toy.

I don't know if this stuff tastes good or not.

feel

Hagoromo Gitsune thought to himself, 'This is a bit difficult to swallow.'

Looking at the way Zhaofu Daruma shook his head, he seemed completely oblivious to the malice coming from Hagoromo Gitsune.

That silly, adorable look of his suggests he's not very bright.

"of course not!"

Gu Yun's face darkened. Zhao Fu Damo was a sentient being and Gu Yun's companion; how could he possibly let Yu Yi Hu eat it?

"Blessing Bodhidharma".

"Hahaha~~"

Zhao Fu Damo let out a hearty laugh like an old man, and a crack appeared on its waist. Then, like a Russian nesting doll, it was opened up from the middle by Gu Yun.

This scene truly broadened Hagoromo Gitsune's horizons.

She was quite knowledgeable, but she had never seen such a bizarre monster before.

So what is this?

A tsukumogami, or a puppet?

"It can absorb my spiritual power and produce rice that can enhance the power of demons."

Gu Yun poured out the spiritual rice produced by Zhao Fu Damo and handed it to Yu Yi Hu. The latter picked up a grain and put it in her mouth, and was immediately shocked by the pure spiritual power contained within it.

'How can it be! ’

Hagoromo Gitsune felt the increase in her own demonic power, a benefit that could not be compared to devouring human flesh and blood.

Spirit rice carries no curses and can enhance demonic power without any side effects.

On this point alone, compared to the belief in a living liver, it is clearly superior.

As a former benevolent fox spirit, Hagoromo Gitsune has committed many evil deeds over the past thousand years in order to gain demonic power, which has placed a great burden on her spirit and soul.

Although it's for the children, who would want to be stuck in the mud if there were cleaner roads available?

In addition, Gu Yun was well aware of the allure of spirit rice to demons.

Having consumed the spirit rice, Hagoromo Gitsune will never again touch human flesh and blood, which can be seen as indirectly severing Hagoromo Gitsune's path of faith in the living liver.

"Consider this batch of Ling rice a gift from me to you."
