Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Constantly battling terrifying demons, resisting the whispers of evil gods with unwavering will.

Even if we are covered in wounds and utterly alone, we must stand firm on the bottom line of justice and uphold the will of the anti-rightist movement!

"WTF!"

Gu Yun couldn't understand the sense of mission of this group of lunatics.

Because the shrine maiden is exceptionally talented and is the most outstanding descendant of the Daoist sect in a thousand years, they constantly force and demand things of her.

They cannot have offspring; they destroy the reproductive system.

There is no escaping it; whenever demons are causing trouble, we must take the lead.

But the question is, what about everyone else?

What are the other members of the Michihan clan doing besides Higa Kotoko?

These people are controlling Kotoko's younger sister, Makoto, using the kinship that the shrine maiden cherishes most to make her sacrifice herself and fight desperately.

Of course, Kotoko Higa wasn't stupid.

In fact, those involved are often confused while bystanders see things clearly; these are all Gu Yun's feelings from a third-party perspective.

Perhaps during Kotoko Higa's childhood, the ancestors of the Michihan clan told her things like, "Our ancestors were like this," "Our ancestors were like this too," and "You are not an exception."

In addition, the shrine maiden is strong and kind enough.

In order for her younger sister to live a normal life, she shouldered everything alone, bearing the darkness of the Dao Fan clan and moving forward with heavy burdens.

'Makoto, I hope you'll be happy.'

This is the sentence that Gu Yun heard most often in Higa Kotoko's memories.

"Tsk."

"Disgusting."

Unfortunately, this was a family matter of the Dao Fan clan, and Gu Yun had no right to interfere, nor should he.

But he really felt very unhappy.

Why should those scoundrels be able to sit back and reap the benefits while an innocent girl has to fight for her life?

Just because she's more talented and has better qualifications?

"There are always these disgusting guys."

Gu Yun took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and smiled, "Since you're playing these games, how can I let you have your way?"

"Yingcao!"

"Master, I am here."

"Lend me your power."

With a wave of his hand, the Yingcao instantly transformed into countless pale green fluorescent lights, which merged into his body.

This is a technique similar to Nura Rihan's Oni Entanglement, which Gu Yun developed after obtaining the power of Nurarihyon.

As long as he can communicate with the shikigami, Gu Yun can transform them into 'clothes' to wear.

The two sides were of one mind, like the closest partners, fighting side by side.

[Ghost entanglement and stinging insects begin to vibrate the rotting wind]

Her emerald green dress danced without wind, and fist-sized jade pendants, resembling dandelions, hung from Gu Yun's waist.

He was dressed in a kimono, and his whole being resembled a wandering poet strolling among the budding roots of a field when the east wind thaws the ice.

"This is what you've lost."

"Now…"

Gu Yun held up a ball of green fluorescence and gently patted it on the girl's lower abdomen: "I'll find it and return it to you."

Since you're going to get treatment, I'll cure you completely!

Gu Yun: Thank me! Consider this all-inclusive service a bonus.

Chapter 109 I, Tamaki Iijima, vow to fight evil forces to the very end.

"It's healed, Master."

The green fluorescence gradually dissipated, and Yingcao detached from Gu Yun's body, holding a dandelion and floating in mid-air.

The little benevolent girl examined Higa Kotoko's condition. Her previously damaged body had now recovered, which meant that she had regained her health and become a girl with a future once again.

Gu Yun exited the state of being entangled by ghosts.

This was the first time he had used the power of the Nurarihyon in actual combat, and it turned out to be exceptionally effective.

"That's good. Thank you for your hard work, Yingcao."

Gu Yun looked at the still unconscious shrine maiden and sent Yingcao back to the courtyard.

With a casual wave of his hand, Gu Yun instantly leveled the shattered earth.

He gently placed the girl on the ground. His tender action seemed to be noticed by the unconscious Higa Kotoko, causing her tightly furrowed brows to relax slightly.

"Hmm~"

With a soft moan, the girl awoke from her painful dream.

"Yo!"

She opened her eyes and saw Gu Yun's smile: "How are you feeling?"

This made the shrine maiden somewhat embarrassed, and she also blamed herself for letting such a simple method break down her psychological defenses.

"Thank you."

Just as Gu Yun saw her memories, the girl also knew what he had done to her.

Clearly, the other party had no malicious intent; everything they did was to help her.

The Dao Reversal Seal is teetering on the brink of collapse; within three years at most, she may lose control.

At that point, in order to survive, Higa Kotoko will have no choice but to sacrifice herself to buy more time.

The so-called sacrifice is to give up flesh and blood and a healthy body, such as blindness, paralysis of the legs, and the weakening or even disappearance of various internal organ functions.

A deal with an evil god is definitely not as easy as you might imagine.

In the end, the girl may very well become a walking corpse, like the wicked priestesses of the past.

Judging by the timeline, she should have been under 30 at that time.

In fact, very few of the priestesses of the past lived to such an age; most died in their early twenties.

Being able to outlive the others by ten years, Higa Kotoko truly deserves the title of the strongest priestess in a thousand years.

"Lord Gu Yun, why are you helping me?"

Higa Kotoko regained control of her body. With a quick sense, she immediately discovered that the Dao Reversal Seal within her body, which had been on the verge of collapse, had been repaired and even become more perfect than before.

This result was somewhat unexpected for the girl, who had thought that Gu Yun had only relieved the pressure on the evil god.

"you…"

The shrine maiden asked instinctively, "How did you do that? Such a complete reverse seal, even we..."

"You're welcome!"

Gu Yun interrupted Higa Kotoko's question: "I just casually analyzed your Dao Reversal Seal, and while helping you repair it, I also made some improvements."

"..."

Higa Kotoko was shocked by Tanigumo's abilities. Where did he learn the Dao Anti-Sealing Technique from?

Just a moment ago?

Learn now and sell now?

If that's really the case, then it's just too terrifying.

"Was this your plan from the beginning?"

The shrine maiden was very clever and had already figured out Gu Yun's previous behavior.

The other person is trying to provoke her so that she will break down her defenses and then help rebuild the seal.

Gu Yun helped her, and it was a life-saving favor.

As for why we didn't explain it properly...

Putting aside Gu Yun's empty talk, how could Higa Kotoko believe that he could repair the seal?

The girl would definitely not agree to release the evil god just for that.

Therefore, in this urgent situation, Gu Yun chose to act first and report later, letting the matter settle down and allowing Higa Kotoko to make her own judgment.

Fortunately, Higa Kotoko was not an ungrateful person.

If it weren't for her younger sister's safety, coupled with Gu Yun's constant use of mental magic that shook her resolve, Higa Kotoko would never have lost her composure like this.

She is calm and can distinguish right from wrong.

Gu Yun's methods were somewhat excessive and forceful, but since it was to save her, he was her benefactor.

"Thank you."

Kotoko Higa tried to stand up, but found her feet unsteady, as if her body had just recovered from a serious illness and could not support her to move freely.

"Grandpa Tsubagi and Miyako asked me to help you."

Gu Yun helped the swaying shrine maiden up and made her collapse to the ground again: "If you want to thank someone, thank them."

"No, that's only one aspect."

Higa Kotoko shook her head and said, "I mean, you pointed out a serious psychological flaw in me."

The girl was referring to her younger sister, Makoto.

If Gu Yun hadn't brought this up, she wouldn't have known that being threatened by the enemy with her sister would cause her such a huge emotional upheaval.

In terms of sheer magical skill alone, Gu Yun undoubtedly won this match.
