Gacha games can't save this bizarre world.

Didn't you see that the head of the Qiye family hasn't made a statement?

No, judging from the situation, they're here specifically for the daughter of the Seven Nights family.

The Grand Elder's death... wait, could it be that he died unjustly? Look at how calm the Seven Nights Clan Head's expression is.

Of course, everyone was thinking a lot, but in reality, there wasn't much time for idle chatter.

Although reinforcements Ise Saiō and Senke Hidee arrived in time, the danger isn't over yet. Who has time to talk about this?

Ms. Zhai Wang is much more magnanimous and understands the bigger picture. After all, she didn't know the deceased well. She'll just pretend it never happened!

The strong always have privileges. This is especially true in places like Japan, where might makes right.

If you are truly powerful enough, you will be the father of Japan!

Lady Saiou of Ise Grand Shrine stood on the carriage and said, "Mr. Yaso, you've come at the right time. The situation is critical. I wonder if you have a way to lead everyone away from the underworld?"

Ms. Zhai has not forgotten the scene when Zhao Hao directly rode the Shinkansen and plunged headlong into the chaotic spiritual energy vortex.

I thought that madman was already ashes, but I unexpectedly ran into him again. Can he really travel to and from the underworld on that Shinkansen?!

Moreover, although he had sensed that this person was a Bronze-level swordsman, he was too anxious to investigate further and win him over, and simply regarded him as an ordinary Bronze-level swordsman.

Now it seems that this is no ordinary bronze!

At this point, wouldn't such a powerful person simply kill a talkative old man?

Why did you have to be so talkative? Did they even call you?

Upon hearing that Zhao Hao might lead everyone away from the Yellow Springs, everyone's attitude changed immediately.

Dr. Zhang has amazing healing skills!

They all stared at Zhao Hao with shining eyes.

After more than twenty minutes of bloody fighting, the human superhumans suffered heavy casualties. Less than one in ten of the Iron-ranked warriors remained, and two of the Bronze-ranked warriors were also killed.

The same was true of the demons under the three great demons; less than one in ten remained, with only a few loyal and elite members left.

In this situation, the psionic vortex in the sky is pressing down on our heads. If we don't leave quickly, everyone will probably perish.

Of course, that's not necessarily true. At least Tsuchimikado Sensaki, Saiou, and Senke Hidee shouldn't die here so easily.

Their identities are all special, and they must all have special methods.

Upon seeing everyone's attitude, Zhao Hao's expression changed instantly. He immediately adopted a bitter and resentful look: "Please don't blame me for being arrogant, everyone. I acted out of hatred and have a deep-seated grudge!"

"Saki and I were originally engaged, but who knew that this old man would abuse his seniority in the Shichiya family and do whatever he wanted to break us up. Not only did he disagree, he also betrothed Saki to someone else..."

Good heavens, Zhao Hao suddenly became a victim with a bitter past! Even Nanaya Saki blushed at his words.

It's just an excuse anyway; as long as you're willing to say it, everyone can save face.

If Elder Qiye hadn't been out of his mind, he would have definitely tried to win over a Bronze-level transcendent and even separated the couple.

If he dares to give you the cold shoulder, he'll probably beat you to a pulp!

The head of the Kanda family immediately stepped forward, stating that he was unaware of this prior knowledge and that Elder Shichiya had misled him. He added that the Kanda family was now voluntarily annulling the engagement and was willing to compensate Miss Shichiya for reputational damage, blah blah blah...

Nanaya Saki's expression remained calm, but she gripped Zhao Hao's clothes tightly with her hands! Heaven and hell were reversed in that instant.

She wanted to ask why Zhao Hao was here, and why he looked like this, but now was not the time to speak.

Seeing everyone staring at him, Zhao Hao thought it was about time and said, "To be honest, there is a way to leave with everyone. However, this method is extremely time-consuming and costly, and even I would feel quite pained using it. Originally, I only planned to save one or two people and leave quickly..."

He glanced at everyone, meaning: Too many! Too many people, we'll have to pay extra.

This is truly a case of being at the mercy of others!

With hordes of Yomi demons attacking the Shimenawa barrier under the leadership of the Yomi female demon, what could the group do?

Even if we can still fight now, we could fight for several more hours, but what about after that?

Humans have their limits, but the demons of the underworld are countless. Not to mention, judging from the state of the heavens, it won't be long before the Filthy Mother Goddess makes an even bigger move.

At this point, it's a pure seller's market, with no room for bargaining.

The group quickly agreed on a price, and including Saiō Senke Hidee and others who arrived later, there were probably fifty or sixty people in total.

Of course, there are also more than thirty monsters.

Originally, Tsuchimikado and the others thought that since humans and demons are different, they should just let them fend for themselves.

Zhao Hao: You're going to reimburse me for their train tickets?

Besides, if you really say you're going to leave the three great demons here to die, believe me, they'll fight you to the death and leave you here too.

Zhao Hao quickly negotiated a price with the three great demons and signed the Spirit Energy Sea Contract.

Then there were only two groups left: Ashiya Dōman and his companion, and Kirihime's group.

Ashiya Dōman had a bad reputation, and no one could figure out what he was up to.

Kisame immediately became Zhao Hao's adversary, since he had the audacity to capture Nanaya Saki.

At this moment, everyone stared intently at the two sides, as if they were about to chop them into mincemeat without saying a word.

"Master Dōman, it's nice to see you again. It's a pleasure to see you so energetic," Zhao Hao greeted Ashiya Dōman.

Ashiya Dōman waved his black feather fan and laughed, "Indeed, you have quite a connection with Lord Yasuo."

"Does the monk wish to return to the mortal realm?"

"It's alright, no need for you to trouble yourself. I have some other methods."

Ashiya Dōman's ability to sneak into the underworld and even lurk among the crowd suggests he possesses special skills.

His Yin-Yang techniques are completely different from those used in modern Japan.

Firstly, he was a representative of folk sorcerers from a thousand years ago, and later he obtained half of the Tang Dynasty's Yin-Yang arts from Abe no Seimei.

The world of the extraordinary during the Tang Dynasty was very active, with figures like Zhang Guolao (one of the Eight Immortals), the three great masters of Tang Esoteric Buddhism, Ye Fashan, Luo Gongyuan, the door gods Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao, and the official Wei Zheng... Even the beginning of Journey to the West was set in the Tang Dynasty in the East.

It's clear that this was its heyday!

The spells of that time were completely different from those of today. After all, there had been a period of stellar dormancy for hundreds of years, and stellar energy had become increasingly scarce and stagnant. Spells had to be modified accordingly, with reduced energy consumption and effectiveness.

So it's possible that this old guy has some hidden cards up his sleeve.

Since he wasn't needed, Zhao Hao didn't interfere. He then looked at Guilijian.

This time, everyone tacitly surrounded them.

That ghost was caught off guard by the unexpected turn of events. Both the human and demon sides were on the verge of collapse, and he could easily defeat them by secretly stepping in. He could then seize the bodies of the two princes and the fragments of divine power scattered all over the ground.

Who knew that the Saiō of Ise Grand Shrine and the Kōji of Izumo Taisha Shrine would arrive!

Even so, it's just a matter of barely surviving.

Unexpectedly, another Yasuo appeared out of nowhere and crippled two of Jeji without saying a word.

He does have backup plans, but the problem is that two of the Eight Heroes are still not awakened.

Having had his whereabouts exposed and his true form revealed by the nine-tailed fox, he no longer had a chance to provoke those two. He miscalculated!

But by then everyone had surrounded them, and if Guili saw them, they would be beaten to death in the blink of an eye.

We can't wait any longer! Let's do it!

A paper talisman suddenly appeared in his hand, perfectly golden, clearly a high-end item. Even stranger, it possessed the divine power and spiritual energy of the Great God!

Guilijian bit the tip of his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood mixed with the purest spiritual energy.

In an instant, the earth shook violently, the entire shrine rumbled and roared, the ground cracked, buildings collapsed, and a large amount of golden spiritual energy gushed out from the ground, turning into destructive force that wantonly destroyed everything!

谷藆

The news of Ōkuninushi's divine status was spread by Kisato, who was also the first to come into contact with the shrine.

The Great God of the Nation left this as a last resort. Naturally, he was just looking for revenge and not caring about anything else. He would do whatever it took to be ruthless! So he left behind a "self-destruct device".

Because of his identity, Kisami was definitely not allowed to enter the main hall, but he obtained this self-destruct talisman under the guidance of the remaining divine power!

The fact that it was triggered at this moment was truly earth-shattering!

Therefore, among the allies of the demon-slaying saga was the Great God of a vast empire who was no longer present. That was truly a time when heaven and earth joined forces!

At this moment, with the sky and earth collapsing, who cares about besieging the giant ghost and the traitor?

Those who had a way to protect themselves were doing so, while those who had no other options were all siding with Zhao Hao.

Zhao Hao ignored everything else and immediately summoned the Happy Wind Man vehicle, opening the car door wide: "No time to explain, get in the car!"

Some were loyal and wanted to turn around and snatch the bodies of the two princes, while others wanted to take advantage of the chaos and steal two fragments of divine power.

Zhao Hao couldn't wait for them, so he started the car without closing the door!

The rainbow bridge enveloped the vehicle, instantly appearing as a bright, seven-colored light in the dim underworld. Then, amidst the vortex of spiritual energy above and the cracking earth beneath its feet, it opened up a passage.

You know what, doing it this way actually made leaving easier.

"Underpants, underpants, underpants~" The Happy Wind Man rode the wind, heading straight into the space tunnel. The ships and carriages in the sky followed closely behind.

Ashiya Dōman had disappeared without anyone noticing, protecting his descendant. Kiri-mi led his men into the collapsed main hall to seize the bodies of the two princes.

At the last moment, eight bronze shikigami appeared beside Tsuchimikado Sensaki, protecting him as he rushed into the spatial passage.

At the last moment, he could have snatched the prince's body, but instead he took a fragment of divine essence.

Even if you manage to snatch the corpse, it's not yours to claim, but nobody else knows about the divine essence.

……

At the last moment, the scene was so chaotic that it seemed like the earth was about to collapse; everything was in complete disarray.

In the end, fewer than forty people left Huangquan with Zhao Hao in the carriage. There was even one Bronze-level cultivator who didn't manage to get on the carriage.

Back then, capable people all resorted to underhanded tactics.

Ashiya Dōman's mysterious disappearance led him to obtain three fragments of divine power.

Guilijian wasn't in a hurry to escape, so he managed to snatch the bodies of the two princes and a fragment of divine essence.

Of course, these two corpses must be handed over to Emperor Sutoku, the Great Tengu of the Underworld. It's enough that he can see the blood of the two princes in the Underworld.

The Yata no Kagami in Ise Saiō's hands possessed extraordinary abilities; she managed to snatch two fragments of divine essence and store them within the mirror.

Hidee Senka used the white rabbit to retrieve a fragment.
