I will traverse countless worlds and become a god entirely on my own!

However, he has now lost contact with the Shikon Jewel, which seems to mean that the Shikon Jewel has been taken away by Byakuya.

That's a bit of a pity.

I should have shown up earlier.

The reason I came out early was because I was worried that Byakuya would find out, and the Shikon Jewel hadn't gathered enough power yet, so I might not be able to defeat Byakuya.

So he needs to build up his strength while negotiating with those guys.

Tell me what you know.

Seimei ignored everything else and looked at Naraku, asking him a question.

Now I need to know exactly what happened.

"What I know?"

In truth, Naraku didn't know much either. After telling Seimei what he already knew, Naraku stopped talking.

This wasn't a problem between him and Bai Ye, so he wasn't in a hurry. Instead, he had already started planning what to do next.

To be honest.

You can reap the benefits better by staying behind the scenes.

"It seems that the Shikon Jewel has been taken by the White Demon. In that case, we can only proceed with the original plan."

Let's turn Heian-kyo into a ghost town first.

"Does he intend to turn this place into a ghost town with just one word? Truly worthy of being called the greatest Onmyoji of the Heian period!"

The people here all revere Seimei as a deity.

I never imagined that the first thing Seimei would do after returning from hell was to turn this place into hell.

"A demonic and evil creature like you doesn't seem to have the right to say anything about this."

Seimei showed no dissatisfaction whatsoever, nor would he let a few words affect his mindset.

Moreover, no matter how hard this guy tried to hide it, his evil demonic power could not escape Seimei's eyes.

He's seen far too many people like that.

"That's true, Lord Seimei. What are you planning to do now?"

Naraku didn't say much. When he was weak, he hid himself and lowered his posture. This was Naraku's way of survival.

Now, relying on Seimei is the best way to maximize my own interests.

Moreover, he was still very curious about what Seimei was going to do next.

"Follow me?"

Seimei had originally thought that Naraku would choose to leave.

"I have ambitions."

Naraku made no attempt to hide his thoughts, directly telling Seimei that he had ambitions.

Perhaps it was because he realized that his ambition could not be hidden from the eyes of people like Seimei.

Rather than coming up with countless reasons only to be exposed in the end and looked down upon by Seimei.

It would be better to just tell Seimei about your ambitions directly; that would be more open and aboveboard.

"Sometimes having ambition isn't a bad thing."

Seimei admired Naraku. He preferred ambitious people, believing that those without ambition would eventually be eliminated.

However, having ambition requires the corresponding ability.

"Then you can come with me for now!"

After pondering for a moment, Seimei decided to let Naraku follow him as well.

The gates of the underworld opened wide, and along with Seimei appeared a hundred demons and many other evil creatures from the underworld.

While Seimei was in the underworld, he had already subdued these evil spirits. They would rule the world with him when Seimei returned from hell.

Heian Jing.

The once clear sky was completely covered by dark clouds in an instant.

It was midday, yet it felt as gloomy and dark as night.

Everyone in Heian-kyo was at a loss and looked at the sky with some confusion.

This strange phenomenon has never occurred before.

They used to have Seimei's protection, and even though Seimei was killed by a demon, his protection seems to have continued.

Heian-kyo is a place where no yokai dares to come, but now it is eerily terrifying.

"Then what is that?!"

A nobleman was pointing tremblingly at the thing that had suddenly appeared in the dark clouds above the sky.

"A demon?!"

"How could that be! Heian-kyo is the safest place!!"

"How could it be a monster? Aren't we under Lord Seimei's protection?"

"Run!"

The entire Heian-kyo was like a living hell at this moment.

After emerging from the underworld, the demons, upon seeing the living, were already eager to act, as instructed by Seimei.

The demons relentlessly tore at the living creatures in Heian-kyo.

In just a few moments, the entire Heian-kyo became like a dead city.

"It's gone just like that."

This most prosperous city was destroyed by Seimei.

Naraku said with some emotion, "Heian-kyo's rise and fall both depend on Seimei."

"Everything is born with a reason for its existence. Heian-kyo is great because of me, so this is something they must pay for."

Seimei has been protecting this place for so long, did he do it for nothing?

His original plan was to sacrifice Heian-kyo to the demons.

When he returned from the underworld, Heian-kyo, which he had protected for so many years, had become a place where countless people wanted to gather and where they had lived in peace for so many years.

It's time to demonstrate their capabilities.

"really."

Naraku did not refute this; it seems that a strong person killing some insects doesn't need much of a reason at all.

But then again, what is his plan next?

"Now that Heian-kyo has been destroyed by demons, should we start dealing with the White Demon?"

After Naraku finished speaking, he realized that he seemed to be in a bit of a hurry.

It seems that Seimei himself decided whether or not to do this.

Why am I in such a hurry?

It's as if they're saying they want them to get into a fight as soon as possible.

"No, it's not the right time yet. I still need to make some preparations. As for Heian-kyo, no one will notice anything unusual here."

Seimei shook his head, not in a hurry to make a move.

Having experienced the failure last time, Seimei was much more cautious this time.

Besides, he had already cooperated with those guys.

We can't rely on ourselves to do everything, can we?

"Aren't we going to take any action?"

Naraku muttered to himself, but didn't show much on his face.

He didn't care, as long as he wasn't at the very front.

After that, he could always find opportunities to reap benefits.

"Let's restore it to its original state!"

Although Seimei's voice was very soft, it carried throughout the entire Heian-kyo.

The Heian-kyo, which had been shrouded in gloom, immediately returned to a clear blue sky after he finished speaking.

Those who had been eaten, however, strangely stood up from the ground.

His injuries began to heal gradually.

Seeing this, Naraku couldn't help but feel a hint of shock.

This is! ?

"A ghost wearing human skin?!"

Naraku murmured something as he watched as the demons draped the human skin of the people they had eaten over their bodies.

Even though Naraku felt evil, he also felt that his evil was still insignificant compared to Seimei's, and that he still needed to learn more.

"That way you won't be able to tell. Let's make use of this waste."

Seimei said calmly.

At this moment, Heian-kyo has returned to its previous state.

Now it's time to negotiate with those guys.

So where are we going next?

After the three formed a demon-slaying team, Kikyo gradually became familiar with each other over the next few days.

At the same time, she also learned a lot about Takamagahara and the grudges between Byakuya and Seimei from Byakuya.

This changed many of Kikyo's previous views and also strengthened her resolve to protect the Sacred Tree together with Byakuya.
