Tokyo: My Hundred Demon Scroll

"Thank you for your generosity, young friend."

Old Zongxiang first thanked Gu Yun, then patted Cao Tai on the back, gesturing for him to come forward: "Finally, I have another little wish, I hope you can take care of this child."

"Of course!"

Gu Yun smiled slightly and said, "I was planning to open a class in the Yin-Yang Bureau anyway, so it's perfect. I can invite Kusa-kun to join me then."

"You're going to teach classes too?!"

The old man seemed quite surprised, but he quickly calmed down: "It's hard to imagine that a powerful sorcerer like you would personally give a lesson."

The old man ignored Gu Yun's age.

In the exorcism world, those who are accomplished are respected. If they can accept Gu Yun's teachings, not to mention these children, even established sorcerers would probably be tempted.

"But if that's the case, does that mean Sota has joined the Iijima school?"

"..."

As soon as Munakata Yanglang finished speaking, the old Munakata and Gu Yun looked at him at the same time, their eyes filled with speechlessness.

That's how it was said, so bluntly.

Regardless of Gu Yun's thoughts, as a follower, yes, Lao Zongxiang always humbly accompanied Gu Yun with the attitude of a subject.

It is a major taboo for a subject to question his monarch without any prior warning, no matter where he is.

"you…"

Old Zong felt as if his blood was flowing backwards, even though his body had finally recovered.

He was even more determined that he could not entrust the teaching of this idiot to Sota, nor could he entrust the future of the closed-door master clan to him.

Reflect on your interactions with Gu Yun.

They only gave up a tiny amount—something the Munakata family had, even something completely useless—in exchange for the other party's friendship.

Afterwards, his body recovered, he received the blessing of purification, and the mirror was about to break.

Even the future of the closed-door master family depends on Sota's education and apprenticeship.

Gu Yun gave them all these benefits without batting an eye.

Such a wise and open-minded ruler, and you actually ask, 'Are you offering me so many benefits so that I'll join you?'

This is not nonsense?

Do you want all the benefits without giving anything in return, or even taking sides?

I want all the benefits, but I don't want to take on any of the trouble!

Chapter 282 The Impending Riot

"Is this really my child?"

Old Zongxiang was beginning to doubt his life. He sternly shouted at Zongxiang Yanglang, "Go back."

Enough is enough. If this guy stays here any longer, he might really anger Gu Yun at any time.

"I'm so sorry."

After sending Zongxiang Yanglang away, the old Zongxiang said to Gu Yun with a sense of apology, "We secluded masters have been away from the secular world for many years. It is still a bit uncomfortable to suddenly come into contact with outsiders. Please forgive us, young friend."

"It doesn't matter."

Gu Yun shrugged, choosing to ignore Zongxiang Yanglang's question.

Afterwards, the two exchanged some more words. Seeing that it was about time, Gu Yun reminded him, "If Senior Munakata has nothing else to do, you should leave Kyoto as soon as possible."

"Ok?"

Old Zong looked puzzled; he didn't understand what Gu Yun meant by that.

Is it hinting at something to him?

"Please don't misunderstand, senior."

Gu Yun used a sound transmission spell to transmit his voice directly to Lao Zongxiang's ear: "There is about to be a riot in Kyoto. Evil gods and demons will be causing trouble here."

"The work of demons?"

Old Master Xiang: "What kind of demons dare to cause trouble right under your nose, young friend?"

Have these demons gone mad?

Gu Yun carries with him a great god at the level of a dimensional will.

Who is so blind as to dare to cause trouble here while Gu Yun is still here?

This behavior is absolutely suicidal.

"I'm not going to do anything."

"what?!"

Old Zong seemed puzzled: "Why is that?"

Logically speaking, Lao Zong shouldn't have asked so many questions, since the more he knew, the faster he would die.

He's not a brainless young man.

As an elder who has lived through two eras, Lao Zong seems to know many secrets. His shrewdness, courage, and experience are second to none even in the entire exorcism world.

However, it was precisely because of this insight that Lao Zongxiang could not understand Gu Yun's purpose in 'not taking action'.

Could it be that Gu Yun was the one who orchestrated this chaos, and that he was actually the mastermind behind it all?

Upon thinking of this, Lao Zong felt a chill run down his spine.

He felt he knew too much.

The Munakata family, a clan of reclusive masters, is doomed!

"Senior misunderstood."

Gu Yun naturally sensed the old ancestor's inner worry, and he didn't blame the other party for being so startled.

Gu Yun was well aware of how strong he was and how terrifying he was in the eyes of others.

Furthermore, the fact that the old Zongxiang was afraid precisely illustrates his stance.

This is an exorcist who has lived a lawful and kind life. If Gu Yun is truly an ambitious man who is stirring up bloodshed, the old clan leader will most likely not stand on his side.

Yes, Lao Zongxiang is the kind of character who dares to perish together with the Great Demon King.

He will not associate with evil.

At the very least, the old patriarch didn't want the young man he valued to be a tyrant with no moral compass who took pleasure in harming others.

"If I were truly that kind of person, the Purifying Will wouldn't favor me, would it?"

This is a lie. Gu Yun's intentions were never good enough to make Jing Shi acknowledge him. His current strength and status are due to external cheats.

Cheat: Do you submit? Don't submit? See this fist the size of a sandbag?

The carrot and stick strategy.

The world's wills were all brought under Gu Yun's command, and one after another, they bowed down and paid homage within twelve days.

Gu Yun's success in the underworld is built on his unreasonable and domineering aura.

"That's true."

Old Zong pondered for a moment and realized that Gu Yun was right: "Then what you mean, young friend, is..."

First of all, he was the person Jing Shi loved, which is enough to prove Gu Yun's kind heart.

Furthermore, given Gu Yun's strength, if he really wanted to cause trouble, turning the world upside down would be a conservative estimate.

"The disaster in Kyoto was unavoidable."

“Of course, if I were to take action myself,” Gu Yun said, “there’s no such thing as impossible or impossible. What I want, no one can say no to.”

The domineering words made the old ancestor realize just how powerful the force Gu Yun controlled truly was.

He did not doubt the possibility of Gu Yun's words.

This is not arrogance.

Even Lao Zongxiang felt that Gu Yun was being somewhat modest in saying that.

That's the will of the world!

Even great demons are no different from ants when facing beings of this level.

Isn't this just doing whatever you want? My rules are the rules!

"I knew about this matter in advance through divination magic."

"In fact, I did do some things."

"Does the senior know about the art of reversing fate?"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing Gu Yun mention the 'Fate Reversal Technique,' others might not know what this spell meant, or might not have even heard of it before.

But Old Zong looked at Gu Yun in shock: "You, could it be..."

“I used a reversal of fate technique to avert the impending chaos in Kyoto.”

"This is too dangerous!"

The old man's voice trembled as he said, "Do you know the consequences of this spell? If it is misused, it could very well cause future erosion of the present world!"

There are many kinds of disasters, but fate and time and space are definitely the two most dangerous ones.

Even a legendary recluse like Lao Zong was absolutely not qualified to stop the disaster brought by these two forces.

"It's true."

Gu Yun said calmly, "I have a good relationship with the will of the afterlife."

"..."

Old Zong seemed to be stunned for a moment, but he quickly understood what Gu Yun meant.
