The two souls merged, and Tamamo-no-Mae also gained her memories.

After thinking about it for a moment, she understood what was going to happen... The Queen immediately felt a little better and looked at Fujiwara Izaya with schadenfreude: "I'll add fuel to the fire for you."

"Believe it or not, I'll burn you first!" Fujiwara Izaya threatened.

Tamamo-no-Mae scoffed, staring coldly at him, her red lips slightly parted: "Come on, my body is always ready to serve you."

The deliberately sweet and seductive voice, as it entered Fujiwara Rinya's ears, made him feel as if his bones had gone limp... This vixen was truly terrifying. When she calmed down and released her allure, Fujiwara Rinya didn't think he could resist her temptation.

Ugh……

Let's see if we can get them to sleep... Let's try to persuade them.

※※※※※

Noon, Tokyo.

This time of year should be when the sun is high in the sky and the world is bathed in light.

But at this moment, the sky above Tokyo was completely covered by thick, dark clouds, making the entire sky impenetrable.

This is an extremely dense demonic aura.

Nearly half of all the monsters in the country have gathered here, their numbers blotting out the sky.

Faced with this terrifying phenomenon, ordinary people all hid indoors, afraid to go out. Those who were able to move around, apart from some government agencies, were only the priests, priestesses, and monks of various temples and shrines.

All the directors of the Onmyōryō (Yin-Yang Bureau) have gathered at Meiji Shrine today.

Chairman Hoshimi sat in a corner by the window, her gaze fixed on the sky.

The dark clouds rolled incessantly, making the whole scene seem as if night had fallen prematurely, and the sky was shrouded in darkness. Her long, black hair was also somewhat disheveled by the wind, and feeling the surging demonic energy, her gentle and elegant face was etched with an undisguised sorrow.

The monks sitting cross-legged, chanting sutras and praying to Buddha, the priests fiddling with talismans, the witches checking the bells... everyone felt the terrifying atmosphere and couldn't help but feel their hearts skip a beat and their expressions become solemn.

In the center of the main hall, the solemn and dignified Chairman Kasahara was discussing countermeasures with those around him.

"Look, something's coming out..."

Suddenly someone shouted.

Everyone looked out the window again and exclaimed in surprise.

The dark clouds that filled the sky began to churn, and countless little monsters began to appear on the clouds.

There were mountain spirits and kappa, tengu and cat demons, fox spirits and oni... The entire sky above Tokyo transformed into countless paintings of a hundred demons parading in the night. Ordinary people who witnessed this scene could do nothing but kneel and pray.

Unable to resist.

There was no way out.

Even the chairman, who had come from branches all over the country, felt uneasy.

Dark clouds surged across the sky, gradually dividing the area into three distinct squares based on the factions. In the area led by the Tengu clan, seven powerful Tengu suddenly appeared at the forefront, gazing disdainfully at the mega-metropolis of Tokyo.

"Amitabha!"

Master Hongwen chanted Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

He gave a wry smile.

Even the weakest Great Tengu is a terrifying being who has stepped into the Venerable level. Ordinary cultivators simply cannot resist a Great Demon King of this level, and even the weaker of the twenty-five chairmen of the council nationwide cannot contend with him.

Mrs. Kasahara did not show any emotional fluctuation.

Her eyes, clear as the misty mountains after a fresh rain, exuded an air of nobility.

Despite the Tengu clan's formidable presence, with all seven Great Tengu present, she paid them no heed. Her attention was primarily focused on the Oni and Fox clans, whose leaders were still nowhere to be seen in either formation.

One is Shuten-dōji, the Oni King of Mount Ōe, the strongest yōkai in terms of combat power.

The other is Tamamo-no-Mae, a legendary fox spirit and the most terrifyingly destructive demon.

Compared to Shuten-dōji and Tamamo-no-Mae, the Tengu king... Mrs. Kasahara thought he was still too young to be a threat. If he made any rash remarks, she'd rather sacrifice herself and let the Tengu king be on top.

"Look, a giant tengu has come down..."

Amid gasps of surprise, everyone looked up.

Sure enough, a large tengu dressed in a white robe descended from the sky and slowly landed on Meiji Shrine.

Wearing a demon mask and wooden clogs, he exuded a sinister aura, and his long red nose clearly identified him as a celestial dog.

"How dare you trespass on Meiji Shrine! State your name!"

Inside the main hall, a chairman from Hokkaido shouted a reprimand.

The sound was deep and resonant, like the booming of an ancient bell, captivating the soul.

Faced with the wrath of the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang), the great tengu slowly removed its demon mask, revealing its face beneath. Its skin was very pale, and its deep pupils emitted a captivating light.

He clenched one fist in front of his waist, and put the other hand behind his back, looking down at the divine palace with a half-smile.

In the past, he would never have dared to be so arrogant.

But things are different now. He has the advantage and feels he can take the opportunity to show off his power and do good deeds.

The Hokkaido chairman gave him a deep look and said in a deep voice, "Iizuna Saburo, what do you want to do today?"

Isn't this the one who fled in panic in the hidden town...? Mrs. Kasahara looked at the great tengu with great interest, her fingertips clasped together, tapping the rhythm slowly and deliberately.

Mrs. Hoshimi leaned closer and gently tugged at her best friend's sleeve: "Himeko, I have a bad feeling. They'll bring up our relationship with Fujiwara-kun..."

News of what happened on the cruise ship spread within a morning.

Not only the Yin-Yang Bureau, but even among the yokai clans, the specific identity of the descendant of Sutoku has been revealed. This time, the seven great tengu have gathered, their goal perhaps being to find Fujiwara Izaya and eliminate him as quickly as possible.

"No need to rush." ​​Mrs. Kasahara looked at her worried best friend and gently patted the back of her hand.

The sky was dark, and Hoshimi-sama's backlit face was shrouded in shadow. She bit her lower lip and whispered, "How can I not be anxious? Fujiwara-kun has only just become the Demon King; how could he possibly fight against all seven of them..."

"She's already a demon lord," Mrs. Kasahara said calmly.

Mrs. Hoshimi was taken aback.

Then, a beautiful smile bloomed in the dim light.

Mrs. Kasahara looked at her best friend with amusement.

Miss Miko's expression was serene and elegant, like a lotus emerging from the water. Once she calmed down, she exuded the charm of a quiet young lady, as if a smile from her would captivate all who beheld her.

Saburo Iizuna on the shrine is about to fall onto the roof.

The chairman from Hokkaido looked at him indifferently and said, "This is Tokyo, not Mount Takao. It's not your place to be so presumptuous."

Faced with the reprimand, Iizuna Saburo suddenly laughed and said, "I have come here today with no intention of disturbing you all. I only want a member of my clan. Once I have him, I will naturally leave."

"You dare call yourself a king?" Mrs. Hoshimi scoffed.

Iizuna Saburo looked at her and sneered, "So you're a woman from the Hoshimi family. No wonder you're so mean."

"Why should I be polite to you!" Mrs. Hoshimi retorted coldly.

"Enough, I have no time for your nonsense." Iizuna Saburo's gaze slowly moved, sweeping over everyone in the hall. "Where is Sagamibo Ōtengu Fujiwara Izaya? Tell him to come out and pay his respects to us, the elders of our clan!"

The entire room fell silent.

Saburo Iizuka's words, amplified, reached everyone's ears.

Many people's expressions changed slightly.

Several gazes were fixed on Chairman Kasa and Chairman Hoshimi, their eyes filled with subtle dissatisfaction, as if to say, "It's one thing for him to be on good terms with you, but don't drag us innocent people into this. It's not worth offending the entire Tengu clan for his sake."

Even the loudest voice from the Beihai Taoist Association had fallen silent.

Chairman Hongwen rubbed his forehead and sighed silently.

Human nature is complex, and the desire to seek advantage and avoid harm is a basic human trait. However, the old monk was somewhat saddened that they could not unite in the face of great disaster.

Sensing the change in everyone's emotions, Chairman Hoshimi chose the most direct response.

Her radiant figure appeared in the dim light of the sky.

The entire space seemed to be illuminated.

Step by step, she stepped on lotus flowers formed by divine power and walked towards the sky. The lotus flowers shattered with her steps and fell into shimmering blue light. In a moment, a shrine maiden dressed in a gold-embroidered shrine maiden robe, Hoshimi Shrine Maiden, floated in the air and stood in the field.

Her hair was styled in a classic Hime-style updo, with the ends cascading down to her waist like silk. Dressed in white like orchids and crimson trousers like fire, she arrived in full regalia. The elegance in her eyes and brows exuded the refined and noble air unique to women of high status and power, making her appear otherworldly and beautiful.

She stole everyone's attention.

Because she is Hoshimi Miko, the priestess of Kamakura Hachiman Shrine, the head of the Onmyōryō (Bureau of Yin and Yang), and one of the most beautiful, strongest, and most powerful women in the world.

Only Mrs. Kasahara withdrew her gaze.

She rubbed her forehead and chuckled silently… How annoying! She was a step too slow; Miko stole the spotlight. Now she wouldn't even have time to brag when Fujiwara-kun came back. Miko is such a scheming little bitch, so shameless…

If Miss Miko in the heavens knew what her best friend was thinking, she probably wouldn't care about the Great Tengu and would turn around and fight her to the death.

Saburo Iizuka gradually toned down his arrogant attitude.

The woman opposite him, when she was still below, exuded elegance and poise, the air of a lady from a prominent family. However, as she stepped onto the lotus, her tranquility vanished, replaced by a faint, strange sense of oppression.

A long wind lifted the hem of her skirt and clothes, and a cool anger arose spontaneously.

Iizuna Saburo dared not be too bold, so he flapped his wings and his body moved through the air like a ghost.

Tengu are known for their speed, and each Great Tengu is famous for their unpredictable movements and assassination skills. Iizuna Saburo's escape techniques are so masterful that he has already reached his opponent's side in the blink of an eye.

He is a Demon King.

Chairman Hoshimi is the corresponding God-King level.

When the difference in cultivation level is not significant, close-range demons have a greater chance of winning due to their superior physical strength; conversely, humans have the advantage because they are skilled at using various talismans and magical artifacts for large-scale long-range bombardment.

A strong wind arose in the sky as the celestial dog approached.

Chairman Hoshimi closed her eyes and held her breath, her dress fluttering softly like flowing clouds and rolling snow.

Sensing an extremely slight fluctuation in the air, she didn't open her eyes, but simply raised her hand.

A white ribbon emerged from beneath her wide sleeves and wound its way towards an empty coordinate.

All eyes, including those of the demons, were drawn to that spot.

Suddenly, a groan came from the previously empty space. He dared not linger, and just before the white silk wrapped around him, his body shifted again, leaving a blurry shadow in place.

The white silk ribbon missed its target.
