Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

Page 336

Gu Yun even wanted to mention that the exorcists in Kyoto should fight against exorcists from all over the country.

In a battle of wits, the true skill is revealed through one's actions.

"I do have that idea."

"Please don't look for me."

Before Higa Kotoko could speak, Gu Yun refused, saying, "I have no interest in being someone else's henchman."

If this matter involves Gu Yun's fundamental interests, he wouldn't mind taking action to broaden the horizons of those exorcists.

"I wasn't planning on contacting you."

Higa Kotoko said that Tanigumo had misunderstood.

Kotoko knew his strength; she was certain of a victory if he played.

But she was worried that Gu Yun would scare them.

Higa Kotoko wouldn't dare trouble Gu Yun with something as trivial as using a cannon to kill a mosquito: "I wanted to ask you if you know any powerful exorcists."

"Don't you have ten sects?"

Gu Yun remembered that there were many powerful sorcerers among the ten famous sects, and the only ones he could find were Miyako and Tsubagi Shiro.

The problem is that, like Gu Yun, they are just bystanders in this Kyoto vs. Tokyo debate.

Gu Yun had absolutely no reason to ask them to take action for Tokyo.

"You're on Tokyo's side, right?"

"Ah."

Higa Kotoko also had her own selfish motives; she hoped that it wouldn't just be sorcerers protecting humanity, but also humans.

Therefore, it is necessary to align the association's headquarters with the political center of Japan.

"The ten masters cannot participate."

The existence of the Ten Famous Gates is to reassure everyone, not to create factions and divide the association.

In short, the ten sects swore an oath not to fight for power and to wholeheartedly work for the benefit of the exorcists.

"Then now..."

Gu Yun asked, "What is the attitude of the Ten Famous Sects?"

"Only Mikadoin and Abe support Kyoto."

“The Asakura family has been living in the deep mountains for too long and wants to come to the big city for some fresh air. The reclusive family has been guarding Tokyo since ancient times,” Higa Kotoko said. “Tsuchimikado, Daigo, Ubuyashiki, and I, our choice is Edo.”

Edo is Tokyo, so of the eight great families among the ten famous families, five were based in Tokyo.

However, only family patriarchs like Higa Kotoko knew about this matter; other exorcists had no way of knowing, nor could they be allowed to find out the internal dynamics of the Ten Famous Sects.

“Mikadoin and Abe, that’s not surprising.”

Gu Yun asked in confusion, "Why did Tsuchimikado also choose Tokyo? Has Lord Seimei's three main families split up?"

"It's nothing serious, it's not that big of a deal."

Higa Kotoko: "Whether the headquarters is in Tokyo or Kyoto only involves worldly interests. Of the eight families, those who are not short of money don't care about money, and those who are short of money care even less."

Come to think of it, with the skills of these sorcerers, if they wanted money, they could all turn into lawless madmen.

Chapter 191 Gu Yun: Don't worry, I will take action.

"I'm going to Kyoto to make preparations first. Gu Yun, when are you leaving?"

"anytime."

Gu Yun had nothing much to do in Tokyo; whether he left early or late made little difference. He had just returned from his past life and had originally planned to rest for a few more days.

"I do hope you can come sooner."

"Ok?"

"With you here, I feel more confident."

Higa Kotoko was defeated by Tanigumo, and coupled with the fact that he saved her life, she was completely subdued.

Furthermore, Gu Yun shares the same ideal as Qin Zi: to protect peace and tranquility in the world.

After the Iijima Group joined, the nature of the official exorcist association changed, and even Kotoko, the person in charge, became deeply involved with the Iijima family.

This organization is essentially a product of Tamaki Iijima's funding.

Saying that the association is their family's mercenary force in the paranormal field is a bit of an exaggeration, but it's not far off.

"Yes, a warlock who can give you trouble?"

"Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens."

Higa Kotoko was very confident, and then she met Tanigumo and realized what it meant to be outmatched by others.

"That's it..."

Gu Yun thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, Qinzi, I will step in when the time comes."

Gu Yun supported the establishment of the Exorcist Association.

As for Higa Kotoko's influence, an association president who stands by his side is better than a stranger or even an enemy.

If anyone causes trouble, Gu Yun wouldn't mind clearing the way for Iijima Tamaki.

Having influence in both the legitimate and criminal worlds—this is the inevitable trend of the Iijima family.

I'm leaving tomorrow.

Gu Yun: "It just so happens that I haven't been to Kyoto yet, so I'll treat it as a trip."

He had visited the god Takagami in Kyoto several times before, riding in a divine palanquin. Because of the heavy nature of his missions, he hadn't really had much time to explore Kyoto.

"Do you need me to arrange this for you?"

Kotoko meant to arrange a hotel specifically for Gu Yun so that he could come into contact with other sorcerers and exorcists.

They are beings who possess extraordinary powers, and it would be too inconvenient for them to live in the same place as ordinary people.

To this end, the ten masters specially used magic to create a mountain inn to welcome guests from all over the country.

"I plan to arrive on the last day."

Gu Yun declined: "Before that, I want to travel as an ordinary person."

Seeing this, Higa Kotoko said no more.

Her intention was clear: she hoped Gu Yun could serve as the association's trump card, so that in the event of an accident, she could use absolute power to suppress everything.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yun pondered the matter of the Kyoto Conference for a while.

He didn't know any of the Ten Famous Families, and had no contact with them. The only person he knew was Higa Kotoko.

Yoshiaki from the Abe family is half a member.

For most people, Gu Yun had only heard of him by name but had never met him in person.

"Whether the association's headquarters is in Kyoto or Tokyo, Kotoko probably doesn't care much."

She wouldn't let me handle something so trivial, Gu Yun thought to himself. "As long as the association gains the recognition of the exorcists and the general direction remains unchanged, I don't need to interfere."

Having figured this out, Gu Yun stopped thinking about it.

He has the ability and is full of confidence.

To put it bluntly, even if ten masters attacked together, they might not be able to match him.

Gu Yun had no interest in the power struggles and interests within the supernatural community; he didn't need those things at all.

There was only one thing Gu Yun felt she had a responsibility to contribute.

"To protect humanity."

This is not only Higa Kotoko's bottom line, but also Tanigumo's.

"Hey kid, the girl who lives across the street is here to see you again."

Just then, Yanling jumped in from the side of the courtyard carrying a bunch of snacks. She addressed Gu Yun more politely, changing from "minor fish" to "boy".

Gu Yun didn't seem to care.

Respect and gratitude are kept in the heart, not outwardly expressed...

Gu Yun: It would be even better if they could be more polite.

"Xiao Jing, I guess she's here to learn magic again."

Ever since Gu Yun used the power of the Fragrance Seeker to raise Hiratsuka Shizuka's spiritual level, this girl has been running to Gu Yun's study every day.

She wanted to learn magic.

Even the simplest and weakest spell, as long as she could learn it, Hiratsuka Shizuka would be content.

A warrior who wants to be a mage.

Gu Yun could understand her feelings.

Unfortunately, Jingke really doesn't have that talent.

"She didn't go down to the lower levels, did she?"

"No."

“Let her be,” Gu Yun said. “Later, have the young boy and girl go and tidy up the study.”

The girl's spiritual level was only at the stage of being able to see ghosts; it was impossible for her to cultivate magical power.

However, Hiratsuka Shizuka's temper flared up, and she was at that rebellious age, so Gu Yun just let her be.

"Star Explosion Abandoned Healing Slash!"

"Great Desolate Starfall!"
