After making those harsh remarks, Ivia quickly retreated, as if fleeing in panic, leaving behind the fat man Bai Niao, who was covering his wound and cursing under his breath.
Ivia quickly traveled through this low-rise city. In order to leave clues, Ivia also specially found several locals to ask about the location of the Demon Exorcism Bureau.
The entire city is built in the mountains. The terrain is dangerous and there are no large flat areas. There are a large number of shrines in the northeast corner, and the Demon Exorcism Ryo is located among them.
[The Worker has unlocked the Demon Exorcist's Quarters area. Due to the Worker's current status, the Demon Exorcist's Quarters camp store and contribution points cannot be activated.]
As soon as Ivia stepped into the Demon Exorcism Area, which was no different from other shrines, Samsara Paradise immediately sent a prompt.
Two men dressed in hunting clothes and tall hats immediately took out talismans to block the way:
"This is a restricted area of the Demon Exorcist's House. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter!"
Aivia tentatively took out the mission prop that was made very fake but notarized by the Samsara Paradise.
One of them put away the talisman and took the third-level demon exorcist certificate. After looking at it, he was very confused. This thing looked fake no matter how he looked at it, but the aura on it was perfect.
"In the entire Demon Exorcist Lodge, only Grandmaster Jiuyuan is a Level 3 Demon Exorcist. Where did you get this certificate?"
The gatekeeper warlock asked curiously.
This actually works?
Aiweiya said jokingly:
"If you can't make a judgment, take this certificate to your Lord Jiuyuan for inspection."
Ivia's calm demeanor and mysterious aura left the two gatekeepers somewhat unsure of the situation. The other warlock spoke with great insight:
"Lady Avia, please come in with me and wait for a moment while my companions verify your identity."
Ivia gladly accepted. One sorcerer went to the depths of the shrine, while another sorcerer politely led Ivia to an elegant room.
Outside this elegant room, there is a landscaped courtyard with a small bridge and flowing water. The slight scent of sandalwood drifts in the air with the breeze, making people feel peaceful all of a sudden.
This place is just a few steps away from the dirty, garbage-dumped slums in the city outside.
Aivia shook her head and understood the red-hearted monk a little better.
Not long after, the warlock who had left earlier returned very respectfully, kneeling on the wooden floor and delivering a message to Avia:
"Master Jiuyuan invites you to meet him."
After saying that, the warlock stood up with his back bent and stretched out his hand. He waited for Avia to move before carefully following behind her.
The Demon Exorcist House doesn't look big from the outside, but it's a different world inside. Under the guidance of the sorcerer, Ivia passed by three areas with courtyards like the one mentioned earlier, and then came to a tall wooden building. After leading the way here, the sorcerer knelt down and stopped moving forward.
Aivia understood that this sorcerer might not be qualified to meet the so-called Jiuyuan Patriarch.
On the third floor of the wooden building, a powerful presence had already appeared in Ivia's perception, and there was no need to continue leading the way.
The imperial bell rang, and the wooden door creaked open. The beings on the third floor also noticed that Ivia was coming with murderous intentions.
Ivia walked into the house, climbed the stairs, and saw a vague figure on the empty platform on the third floor.
[The employee has contacted the neutral unit: Yin Yang Patriarch Jiuyuan]
[Warning! Jiuyuan is the designated unit for exchanging merits for the Demon Exorcist's Residence at the Void Tree. Employees please do not harm this unit.]
"So that's it!" A voice that was difficult to tell whether it was male or female came from the blurry figure's mouth.
As he finished speaking, his figure gradually became clearer.
The unit named Jiuyuan was wearing robes similar to those of ancient nobles. The base color was white, and the hems and embroidery were sealed with black. The blank spaces on the clothes were filled with a large number of golden patterns, making them look extremely luxurious.
"I was thinking I had no intention of reaching the summit, but somehow I'm facing certain death. It turns out you're here to kill me!"
Jiuyuan's beautiful face also appeared along with the slow voice.
Despite this appearance and demeanor, Ivia's beauty detection radar did not react. Ivia couldn't help but curl her lips, thinking that this was a man.
Hearing that the other party had seen through her intentions, Ivia stopped pretending. She planned to kill every upper-class person in this world, no matter if they were neutral personnel of the Void Tree.
Fire ignited in Ivia's hands, and a giant sword appeared.
"Wait a minute!" Jiuyuan took out a fan and covered half of his face.
The next moment, a huge sword was placed on his body.
"Shikigami·Queen of Heaven!"
A gorgeously dressed paper figure quickly appeared under Ivia's knife and blocked the knife for Jiuyuan.
After Ivia chopped the Shikigami with a knife, she immediately felt something was wrong. Jiuyuan's fighting style should be preparatory, and this Shikigami named Queen should be part of the preparation.
"The god of the East Sea is named Amin. The god of the West Sea is named Zhuliang. The god of the South Sea is named Jucheng. The god of the North Sea is named Yuqiang."
"Great Gods of the Four Seas, drive away all demons and eliminate the evil. Hurry and obey the command!"
Countless talismans flew out from Jiuyuan's wide sleeves, and a mercury-like formation lit up on the ordinary wooden floor. A mixture of gold and black chains emerged from it and suddenly wrapped around Ivia's entire body.
However, the formation was complete. His wide sleeves fluttered like butterfly wings, sending Jiu Yuan out of Ivia's attack range. However, Jiu Yuan did not continue to attack, but slowly spoke:
"You've already let me go!"
Ivia paused, not because of what Jiuyuan said, but because the way he used his power seemed familiar to Ivia, so Ivia asked doubtfully:
"A spellcaster?"
"I know Sephiria." Jiuyuan nodded.
"Are you any use?" Ivia continued to ask.
"I can work with Inari-sama to severely injure you and allow you to escape."
Jiuyuan removed the fan that was covering his face and said with a smile.
In fact, this is exactly what Ivia intends to do. This world has a good foundation, and Ivia has no intention of destroying the world. Once these gods and demons realize that they are no match for Ivia, they will immediately resort to various means to hide. Ivia does not have the leisure to spend five hundred years to slowly clean up.
Since they couldn't find the other party, they had no choice but to let him come to them. Ivia let the fat man Shiratori go just to lure the Inari God behind him into a trap. Jiuyuan had actually seen through this.
But that's not enough.
Aiweiya asked the same question as the monk Chixin had asked:
"After this matter is over, where will you go?"
"Void, we'll meet again in five hundred years."
Jiuyuan knew that he had passed the test and said with a smile like a fox.
It is actually not credible for other people in this world to say this, but as Jiuyuan is the notarized unit of the Void Tree, its statement is highly credible.
When Ivia heard this, she shook her body vigorously, broke the chains wrapped around her, and put away the giant sword.
Jiuyuan also fell from the sky and came in front of Aivia.
"Are you a man or a woman?"
"How can something like yours be notarized in Samsara Paradise?"
The two asked questions at the same time, hitting each other's sore spots.
"Oh? What do I mean by this?" Ivia asked with a wry smile.
Jiuyuan spoke from the heart:
"Your greatness and beauty cannot be defined by the Paradise of Samsara!"
……
When one party is very sensible and smart, communication can be very efficient.
Jiuyuan began to tell Aivia about the existence of gods and demons in this area.
Jiu Yuan, who has the notarization of the Void Tree, has a clearer understanding of the approximate division of power in this world. According to him, the gods, demons, monsters and ghosts in this area are not much different from each other. They act more disorderly than the big countries in the East, and their average strength is one or two levels lower.
Many of the local things are simply losers who failed in the battles with the big countries in the East and had to flee here to survive.
Among them, Jiuyuan, who has fully unleashed his strength, is already the strongest one.
However, as Ivia guessed, those who were able to escape here after failing in the battle with the big country in the East were very good at surviving and would evacuate when they saw the situation was not good.
Because the area was small and the population was small, the Demon-Training Lodge came into being to prevent fighting from causing excessive damage.
The demon-exorcising missions issued by the Demon-Exorcising Office are basically the actions of various gods and ghosts who are unwilling to take action and are throwing dirty water and making eyes at each other.
Ivyya laughed when she heard this and said:
"Give me some quests to fan the flames, and I'll do them on my way to escape."
"No problem!" Jiuyuan agreed very straightforwardly and continued to introduce the local power structure.
The most powerful local gods and Buddhas are those who came from the Eastern great country, such as Bishamonten. They worked together to build the current shrine worship system.
Various local gods, ghosts, monsters and demons who worship them will have divine names, such as Inari God.
The second largest force is the local monsters, who have been driven out of the most densely populated cities and wander in the wilderness, harvesting faith with bloody and weird means.
The third largest force is the Demon Exorcist's Office, where ordinary people learn various techniques to deal with demons and worship gods, and the ancestor of Yin and Yang, Jiuyuan, is the most respected.
"If you say so, then if I killed you just now, would I have killed the wrong person?" Ivia asked sarcastically.
"No, no, no. I receive no less offerings than those gods, and I am also a damned oppressor. However, the power of those who believe in me will not disappear even after my death. After all, that power comes from their practice."
Jiuyuan unfolded his paper fan, covering half of his face, and answered truthfully.
"You are actually a human?" Aivia looked at Jiuyuan carefully again. No matter how she looked at him, he seemed to be a believer in God.
"It was, and it is, so I can escape from this world and obtain the notarization of the Void Tree!"
Jiuyuan answered softly.
Before Aivia could ask in detail, Jiuyuan's expression suddenly changed. He put away his folding fan and spoke with a proud look:
"I am the Five Elements, so retreat!"
Colorful elemental power emerged from his body and turned into a repulsive magic circle that flowed towards Ivia.
Ivia cooperated very well and pretended to be pushed away. The Demon Exorcist's loft, which had just survived the battle intact, was blown down by Jiuyuan's repulsive magic circle.
"Shikigami: Violent Ghost!"
"Shikigami·Noble!"
Jiuyuan shouted twice, and two Shikigami appeared immediately. The Shikigami Baogui had horns on his head and red skin. He rushed towards Ivia with an iron rod in his hand.
The Shikigami Nobleman is very similar to the Queen that Ivia had seen before, but it is no longer made of paper and looks more like metal.
