Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

But Suzuka Gozen, being of impeccable lineage, was the natural ruler of the afterlife.

On the contrary, she should be happy to welcome the little devil.

Of course, if it weren't for the conflict between Gu Yun and her, the little devil would have sent auspicious omens to welcome Suzuka Gozen and give this valiant samurai princess a proper welcome.

Unfortunately, Suzuka Gozen is Gu Yun's person. Once she takes control of the afterlife, the entire world will become Gu Yun's possession.

The little female ghost didn't care too much about power and status; she was just worried that Gu Yun might cause chaos in the next life.

You're still laughing!

The female demon's voice echoed in Old Zasa's ear: "The afterlife is the most important place; nothing can happen here!"

"Yes, yes, but what can this old man do?"

Old Zasa casually drank his wine, showing no intention of helping the little devil: "I've even given Brother Gu Yun my real name, I can't do anything about him anymore."

Old Zasa has given up; he's completely backed down.

The twelve people had different attitudes toward the perfect spirit. Uesugi wanted to guide Gu Yun, while Old Zasa was more like Iijima.

He will only protect Gu Yun and ensure that his life is not in danger.

As for the others…

The perfect spirit is the one who guides the development of the world. Old Zasa doesn't have that ability, so he shouldn't interfere with Gu Yun's judgment.

Moreover, he even gave his real name to Gu Yun.

Even if he wanted to take action, Gu Yun, with his real name, could defeat him with just a single sentence.

'I can't beat him anymore.'

Old Zasa: 'Then what do I have to worry about? Just drink well and don't think about anything else!'

Chapter 161 Want to See My Full Strength

"You're the guardian of my world, you old bastard!"

"We just can't beat them, we just can't beat them."

Old Zasa is like an old rogue, determined to give up. No matter how much the little devil mocks him, it's useless. He's definitely not going to fight Gu Yun.

"Can't you just quietly watch me finish getting things done?"

A gate opened in the alternate dimension, and Gu Yun slowly walked out. He looked up at the empty sky, raised his hand, and instantly a series of dragon roars echoed.

"Oh?"

Old Zasa watched as the dragon soul entwined around Gu Yun transformed into a bold and valiant samurai princess. With just one glance, he could see Suzuka Gozen's power.

'The first part!'

Undoubtedly, the dragon girl before them has reached a level that belongs to them.

However, Old Zasa didn't have any bad thoughts. On the contrary, he was genuinely happy for Gu Yun: "Is this the perfect spirit level? In just the blink of an eye, he has made such great progress."

Old Zha Sa didn't really take Gu Yun seriously before.

It's not that he doesn't respect Gu Yun, but rather that the child is still too immature and far from being worthy of his attention.

But now, with the arrival of Suzuka Gozen, Tanigumo has officially gained the right to speak with old Zasa on equal terms.

Although Old Zasa never felt that he and Gu Yun were equals.

Yes, Old Zasa thinks Gu Yun is a bit taller than him.

After all, the twelve people who guarded the perfect spirit for twelve days were those who had something to ask of Gu Yun.

This is like asking someone for money. How can you confidently say, "Lend me a few hundred thousand, and I'll pay you back depending on my mood"?

"The embodiment of nature!"

Meanwhile, the female imp's attention was elsewhere.

She sensed the aura emanating from Suzuka Gozen; it was a part of her, the power of the 'present tense' of her future life.

"Are you the will of the afterlife?"

Suzuka Gozen also sensed the little demon. She showed her sufficient respect, but then said, "I am the successor of the present. Logically, I should take over the rules and operation of the next life. May I ask what guidance the next life master has for me?"

"..."

A forced abdication.

The little imp wasn't angry, but she was inexplicably depressed, feeling as if she had been bullied by Suzuka Gozen.

Especially since Suzuka was standing next to Tanigumo, who was looking at her with a mocking gaze.

Female devil: Ugh, so annoying!

But she couldn't say no.

The little devil is somewhat rigid and inflexible.

However, she is not bad; she is just a bit stubborn in order to maintain the operation of the afterlife.

Now that Suzuka Gozen has arrived, it is only right and proper that the little devil should step down and give way to a worthy successor. She doesn't seem to have any complaints, but she does feel a bit annoyed that Tanigumo has taken her throne.

"My Lord Twelve, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Suzuka Gozen, and I am the guardian of my younger brother, Tanigumo."

Suzuka Gozen approached Old Zasa and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "I hope you will take good care of me in the future."

"They're one of the guy's men..."

Old Zha laughed heartily and said, "There's no such thing as taking care of anyone. If you encounter someone you can't beat, just call me anytime, and I'll be there whenever you need me!"

"Just as you said, Brother Gu Yun, he is indeed a hero."

Suzuka Gozen has a good eye for people; she noticed that old Zasa is the kind of heroic figure from a story, the kind who disdains using any underhanded tricks.

"There's no need to confirm that; I can tell."

Gu Yun walked up to Old Zasa, nodded slightly, and then said, "My conflict with her ends here. I will go and take the child back next."

As he spoke, he tossed out a line of talismans, letting them float in front of Old Zasa.

"Hey bro, interested in going out for some fun?"

Gu Yun has already accepted Lao Zhasa's true name, and with his spiritual power, he is more than capable of controlling the other party.

This ensures safety.

Old Zasa became Gu Yun's ally, and it was impossible for him to betray her; their relationship was so strong that they were welded together.

Clearly, this was also Old Zasa's choice.

He knew that his immense power made Gu Yun feel threatened.

To put Gu Yun at ease, Lao Zhasa chose to join him.

Only in this way could Lao Zha Sa make Gu Yun lower his guard.

It must be said that Old Zasa's boldness was somewhat beyond Gu Yun's expectations, which made him clearly understand Shang Que's determination.

They are the guardians of the world, the heroes who fought against Hiruko-gami.

Regardless of others' circumstances, at least he, the old man Zhasa in front of Gu Yun, was willing to give his all and sacrifice his life for this beautiful world.

"Going to have some fun, you mean that bathhouse?"

Old Zasa thought about it. He was somewhat tempted, but he was also worried that he wouldn't be able to move around freely in the afterlife.

He is very strong, so strong that his every move needs to be restricted.

Let alone the afterlife, even in the fifth level of the divine realm, Old Zasa could not stay for long.

"This talisman..."

Old Zasa looked at the talisman before him, stroked his beard, and said, "Does it mean I should create a clay puppet?"

"Ah, it's just creating a clone to attend our banquet."

"Ha ha ha ha."

Old Zasa was very happy. He accepted Gu Yun's invitation and pointed directly at the talisman.

The next moment, the talisman emitted golden light, and a chubby, fluffy old sheep, resembling a giant doll, emerged from it.

"Forehead…"

Gu Yun stared at the nearly 2-meter-tall sheep statue before him, his lips twitching slightly: "Was this intentional, or an accident?"

Clearly, this was an image randomly chosen by Old Zasa, and he didn't care about the appearance of the stand-in.

"Oh oh oh!"

However, when Old Zasa looked at his clay avatar, which had taken shape, he found it strangely endearing, even though it looked silly and simple-minded.

"Great! This is great!"

Seeing that Old Zasa seemed to like the look, Gu Yun didn't know how to comment: "Well, I'm glad you like it, sir."

The other person's joy is genuine.

Gu Yun simply couldn't understand this taste, thinking to himself, 'Sure enough, every tough guy has a girlish heart.'

If this chubby sheep were made into a doll, little girls would probably love it.

"correct."

Gu Yun said, "There's something I'd like to ask you for help with, sir."

"Oh, what's the matter?"

Old Zasa had no intention of making Gu Yun owe anyone a favor. He gave him his real name simply to protect the child, and had no other meaning.

"I want to know exactly what level my current strength has reached."

Gu Yun's words startled Old Zasa slightly, but the latter quickly understood his meaning: "You're planning to spar with me?"

During this time, Gu Yun's shikigami continued to awaken, and his power grew stronger and more abundant.

By the time Suzuka Gozen arrived, Tanigumo had already qualified to challenge the Upper Six Heavens.

Therefore, he wanted to see how far he was from the peak.
