Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"I…"

Gu Yun sighed helplessly, "Fine, go and give them your blessings."

Although it was a minor issue, Yanling still made a mistake.

Giving the two of them a blessing of world-class willpower would be enough compensation for the meddling of the Word Spirit.

Chapter 227 Word Power: I Want to Fight You One-on-One

Having personally supervised the bestowal of the blessing by the Word of Power, Gu Yun nodded, forgiving the little devil's earlier antics.

"Okay, let's go."

"Where?"

"Go back to Kyoto."

The Tokyo situation is resolved, Muzan Kibutsuji has been defeated by Tanigumo, and the other demons have been sent to hell. This is a perfect outcome.

"It seems like something big is about to happen over there," Yanling asked. "Do you want to get involved?"

"uncertain."

Regarding the matter in Kyoto, Gu Yun will decide whether to intervene based on the situation: "Maybe yes, maybe no."

He is not the exorcist's nanny.

Moreover, human warlocks do need some trials; blindly protecting them will only produce useless individuals.

It sounds cruel, but in the long run, it is indeed a good thing that some people die and that makes the survivors aware of the crisis.

"It's just that some people die."

Word Spirit is not human, so she doesn't have that kind of hesitation and doubt: "You know perfectly well that death is just the beginning of the journey."

"You're right, but don't say that again."

The existence of the underworld is generally known to exorcists with the ability to see ghosts, so they do not experience fear of death.

Anyway, the soul remains after the physical body dies.

Even if one's soul is completely destroyed, the rules of the Underworld can preserve a trace of one's true spirit, allowing for reincarnation.

“Since they have chosen this path,” the Word Spirit said, “then they must be prepared to be devoured by demons.”

"..."

With Kyoto in chaos, Gu Yun could not stand idly by. The only thing he could guarantee was the safety of ordinary people.

Ordinary people and exorcists live in two different worlds, and they shouldn't be dragged into this.

As for exorcists…

Since they chose this job, is it hard to accept that while they are eliminating demons, they might also be killed by them?

“My bottom line is that the innocent are not harmed,” Gu Yun said. “When the time comes, Kotodama and Miketsu will work together to isolate ordinary people from supernatural phenomena.”

This issue has already been resolved by the Bhikkhuni's manipulation of the future.

In the destiny set by Gu Yun, those whose lives are not meant to end will not be affected; they will remain the same as before.

Only those exorcists, because of the presence of spiritual power, were spared much interference from Gu Yun in their lives.

"Those other exorcists..."

Gu Yun said in a deep voice, "Protecting them and reducing casualties is Qinzi's responsibility, not mine."

If someone he knows is in danger, Gu Yun will definitely help.

But a complete stranger…

That depends on whether Gu Yun has encountered it.

He wouldn't stand idly by when tragedy struck.

"Thinking about it now, being held back by Muzan doesn't seem so bad."

Gu Yun realized this problem; if he were to remain here, the events in Kyoto would become irrelevant to him.

They don't need to participate in the battle between exorcists and demons, nor do they need to consider whether to save or not.

"I miscalculated."

Gu Yun couldn't just stay here and not go out.

He wanted to be genuinely kept there, rather than resorting to deception and deliberately not going back.

"If you need it, I can help you."

"Who?!"

Yan Ling suddenly turned around, raised her hand, and her terrifying spiritual power instantly shattered the entire ghost realm.

At this moment, time and space shattered like a mirror, with starlight constantly swirling around, and a terrifying storm swept across everything in sight.

"Lord Gu Yun, please wait behind me."

The nun held her staff at her side and stood in front of Gu Yun, her expression grave. "The other party has evaded my observation."

"Ok?"

Gu Yun remained calm, not flustered at all. "You mean she possesses power that is not bound by fate?"

"get out!"

Yan Ling was short-tempered and somewhat annoyed because she hadn't even noticed the enemy approaching!

"Still so reckless, Lord of the Next Life."

"you…"

After calming down, Yan Ling found the voice increasingly familiar.

"Tap, tap, tap~~"

Countless fragments of space floated within the shattered ghost realm, like rocks suspended in mid-air.

Beneath their feet, the earth had long since vanished, leaving only a pitch-black void, like a smooth obsidian surface, bearing their last foothold.

"first meet."

Pushing aside the debris blocking his way, an extremely beautiful young woman slowly appeared in Gu Yun's sight: "You must be Lord Gu Yun?"

"You are…"

Gu Yun frowned slightly as he looked the woman up and down.

At the age of seventeen or eighteen, with an exceptionally beautiful face, she was dressed in a black gauze dress, her posture graceful, and she was elegantly bowing to him.

"Fire Sky".

The voice of the Word Spirit carried a hint of coldness: "You actually dare to leave Hell? Aren't you afraid of being punished by the Upper Realms?"

'Fire Sky.'

Gu Yun was surprised; he hadn't expected Huo Tian to appear here.

One of the Twelve Heavens and Six Palaces, Uesugi-neechan's predecessor, whose origin is the Greek goddess Pandora, who was reincarnated as a medieval witch, and finally rose again as Joan of Arc, ascending to heaven and becoming a god once more.

"Word of Power, let her finish what she has to say."

Seeing that Yan Ling was about to fight Huo Tian, ​​Gu Yun said, "Even if you're going to fight, you need to know why."

"is it necessary?"

She was not afraid of the Fire God; she was confident that she could defeat him one-on-one.

As for killing or anything like that, the power of words cannot guarantee it.

With her power, Yan Ling was absolutely confident that she could defeat Huo Tian.

"Hey!"

Yan Ling concealed her aura, but she did not lower her guard. Instead, she glared fiercely at Huo Tian and said, "How did you appear? Hiding your tracks without my perception, what are you trying to do?"

Huo Tian crept up to her side, and Yan Ling finally noticed her.

This is undoubtedly a provocation against the work of protecting the power of words!

The little imp was arrogant and conceited; she wouldn't allow any mistakes in her work!

"Was that the Gates of Hell from before?"

Gu Yun thought for a moment and asked, "Rather than saying you secretly infiltrated here, it's more accurate to say that I accidentally summoned you here."

The Gates of Hell connect two worlds; Gu Yun can throw evil spirits in, and Huo Tian can naturally use them to get out.

The only point of doubt is that Huo Tian's methods of concealment are simply too ingenious.

If she hadn't spoken up, Gu Yun, Yan Ling, and the nun wouldn't have sensed her presence at all.

"You guessed right."

Huo Tian ignored Yan Ling, seemingly not taking her seriously at all: "As for what you said about concealing one's aura..."

"Excuse me for speaking frankly," Huo Tian said respectfully to Gu Yun, "I have never done such a thing."

"I've always been here."

"It's just you guys..."

Huo Tian's tone was calm, even carrying a hint of mockery towards Yan Ling: "You're too focused on other things."

"This guy!!"

Yan Ling heard Huo Tian's sarcasm. How could she tolerate this? She, the little devil, would fight Huo Tian to the death!

"what!"

"Don't stop me!"

"Damn it! I'm going to hit her, I'm going to beat her to death!!"

The little female ghost was hugged from behind by Gu Yun. Her master's strength made it impossible for her to break free, leaving her only with impotent rage.
