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

To say he doesn't regret it would be a lie. Seimei is starting to regret it now. When he first met Byakuya, he wasn't as dramatic as he is now.

"As expected, there's still no way to cooperate. In that case, I'll just have to kill you. After you die, I'll turn you into a puppet, which will make it easier to deal with those guys in the future."

"I think I've heard you say that before."

Byakuya rubbed his chin, as if he had heard Seimei say something similar before.

If I remember correctly, Seimei said he wanted to turn himself into the Shikon Jewel.

In the end, it was Seimei who became the Shikon Jewel.

Now they want to turn themselves into puppets.

"Naraku."

Byakuya glanced at Naraku, surprised that Naraku and Seimei had gotten together.

As expected, it was created by the Shikon Jewel. Now the two of them have huddled together for warmth.

However, the one in front of us is just a puppet.

They really are being very careful!

Feeling uneasy under Byakuya's gaze, Naraku realized what Seimei meant when he said that he was no match for Byakuya.

Looking at it this way, it really seems like there's no comparison at all.

Even a single glance from Bai Ye sent shivers down his spine.

"No, this time I'm much better prepared. I've managed Heian-kyo for so many years. If you were outside, I wouldn't dare say that, but now that you've entered Heian-kyo, I feel I have some confidence."

As soon as Seimei finished speaking, the once clear and sunny Heian-kyo instantly turned gloomy, and ghostly energy spread throughout the entire city.

A six-pointed star appeared in the sky, enveloping the entire Heian-kyo.

His presence in Heian-kyo over the years wasn't just about protecting this place.

A formation had already been secretly set up; once inside, Bai Ye would definitely not be the same as before.

In order to create the Shikon Jewel, he had to leave this place, and he only set up a temporary one, which is incomparable to this place.

Moreover, after returning from hell, he brought back many powerful subordinates.

The ghosts were all staring greedily at Bai Ye and the others.

Even those who devoured the entire Heian-kyo are no match for these four in the eyes of the demons.

The gates to the underworld rose abruptly at Seimei's summons.

And the undead legion he leads in the underworld will completely crush Bai Ye here, which is his confidence!

Chapter 252 Yin-Yang Techniques? Taoist arts are your ancestor! Lin, Bing, Dou, Zhe, Jie, Zhen, Lie, Qian, Xing!

"You're still obsessed with quantity, just like before."

From Seimei's words, Byakuya also learned what Seimei's trump card was.

The demons and countless monsters brought back from hell, the formations of Heian-kyo, and the cultivation that Seimei brought back from hell.

"After all, you can't swallow them up; they're still stronger than before."

Seimei was referring to the number of yokai in the previous incident compared to the number Byakuya was facing now.

That's obviously stronger this time.

"This shows a lack of confidence in your own strength, and rightly so. I told you before, your weakness is me!"

"How pretentious!"

Naraku listened to the conversation between Byakuya and Seimei from the side and couldn't help but mutter a complaint in his heart.

Is his weakness?

Looking at it this way, it seems that Bai Ye did indeed win last time.

If I had that kind of ability, it would feel pretty good to say those words.

Naraku felt a pang of envy, but said nothing, trying to minimize his presence.

Anyway, this battle was something I couldn't participate in at all.

If Bai Ye wins, he can just run away; after all, the one here is just a puppet.

If Bai Ye loses, he can still decide whether to run or not based on the situation.

"This formation seems much stronger than any I've seen before. I feel a lot of pressure."

Cui Zi whispered a reminder to Bai Ye.

She had fought against Seimei once before with Byakuya, but Seimei didn't put much pressure on her that time, perhaps because, as Seimei had said before, the preparations weren't very thorough.

"Actually, I have a question. Logically speaking, shouldn't the priestess still be human? Why does she, as a human, possess the ability to seemingly live a long life? So, do you possess this ability, White Demon?"

Seimei actually had a question he wanted to ask Byakuya.

He was incredibly surprised when he first met Bai Ye and Cui Zi.

So many years have passed, yet Cui Zi still acts as if it were the first time we met.

This surprised Seimei, and at the same time, he felt a little envious.

Even as the greatest Onmyoji of the Heian period, I couldn't be like her.

Seimei's reasons for planning his return from hell included not only gaining greater power and subordinates, but also achieving immortality.

Only in this way can I fight against those guys on Takamagahara.

Otherwise, I'll die of old age before I can finish. Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well die early and come back again.

But if he could truly live without dying, he would actually wish to live without dying.

"You're asking a lot of questions."

"You have the ability to grant immortality without turning people into monsters? You really are an enigma!"

Seimei also has a way to achieve immortality, but it is absolutely impossible for him to retain his human identity; he is already immortal now.

Of course there are other reasons, but this would increase his strength. He also had no choice but to be killed by Bai Ye. Otherwise, Qingming might not have chosen this method.

"Forget it, you're really something. It's really hard to get anything out of you."

Seimei opened his mouth, but swallowed the questions he wanted to ask.

He also knew very well that Bai Ye probably wouldn't tell him anything he wanted to get out of her.

"No need to waste words with this guy, let's just kill him!"

A glint of greed flashed in Shuten-dōji's eyes. The moment he saw Hakuyo, he had already decided to devour him.

I watched as Seimei kept talking to Byakuya about their collaboration.

If they cooperate, what am I going to eat later?

He certainly didn't want to see Bai Ye and Qingming cooperate.

It seems that the two have broken up, which makes Shuten-dōji a little impatient.

"Alright, let's get started then."

Seimei was not an indecisive person. Since Baiye had no intention of continuing the conversation, he would not argue with Baiye any further.

"Fine, leave this monster's flesh and blood to me!!"

Shuten-dōji roared excitedly, tightening his grip on Dōjigiri Yasutsuna, intending to cleave the monster in front of him in two with a single stroke.

"Hehe, whoever gets it keeps it!"

Tengu gave a cold laugh.

Does that mean that if Shuten-dōji says he wants to leave it to him, then it should be left to him?

Of course, whoever grabs it first gets to keep it!

"That's right!"

"Yeah, how could I just give it to you like that!"

Although Shuten-dōji was very strong, the other yaksha were no less powerful.

Shuten-dōji actually wants to eat it all by himself?

"We're still here!"

From within the gates of hell, countless monsters began to pour out.

The entire Heian-kyo has now become a ghost town.

"Your sinful souls will be purified. If you must die, will you choose to be burned or drowned?"

"what?"

Shuten-dōji asked instinctively, while also feeling a strange thought: Has this guy gone mad?

He actually asked himself whether he wanted to be burned to death or drowned in water?

He's Shuten-dōji!

It will neither be burned to death nor drowned.

The next second, black flames suddenly burst into flames on the bodies of the many ghosts.

Amaterasu!

It's actually quite ironic.

The gods who use these names might become their adversaries in the future.

"How can it not be extinguished?!"

"This flame won't go out unless you're burned to death."

Bai Ye said calmly.

He then raised his left hand, and a huge vortex of water began to gradually form in his hand.
