He could sense that there were many powerful beings among them. Would someone who possessed this kind of Hundred Ghosts Parade still need his own power?

"Haha, since there are already so many people, it won't make a difference if I carry one more of you, and it won't make a difference if I lose one more of you."

Qin Qi didn't care at all about the other party's initial rejection. After all, everyone has their own ambitions, and he had chosen his own path, which was not wrong.

Kamaitachi looked at Qin Qi and took a deep breath. His initial assessment was correct; this man possessed a powerful spirit!

When Qin Qi first declared that he would become the king of demons and monsters, everyone thought he was crazy, that it was the wild talk of a madman.

Some people even made sarcastic remarks, but only Kamaitachi didn't laugh. He really saw determination in Qin Qi!

He even spoke up, saying that at least Qin Qi had the courage to challenge for that position, unlike the others who didn't even dare to try.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Qi, who was just one person at the time, has now developed his own Hundred Ghosts and even become the Lord of Hundred Ghosts in two places.

It truly feels like three autumns have passed since we last met, but there are things that remain unchanged, and that is Qin Qi's will!

He still does whatever he wants, just like before, and never cares about anything else.

"Fight me! I will only submit to those stronger than me. If you want me to follow you, defeat me first."

The Kamaitachi exuded a terrifying aura, its incredibly sharp aura cutting through the surrounding air!

He drew the scythe from his back and launched an attack in an instant. None of the demons present, except for the kappa and the sun wheel, were able to react in time!

"Is this enough?"

Qin Qi blocked the attack of the Kamaitachi with one finger, and then flicked it away with a flick of his wrist.

The outcome was decided in that instant!

"The general is still invincible!"

"The kappa spoke up. The sudden attack from the weasel was just too fast; he only instinctively sensed the danger."

At the same time, he caught a glimpse of the afterimage. If he had been the one facing that attack, he would have been in grave danger.

"That monster is very powerful."

Nichirin spoke. His eyes caught the opponent's speed, but he sensed a sharpness in the opponent's attack!

If he were to fight the opponent bare-handed, he would probably get injured.

"Hahaha, I've always thought so, you really are incredibly powerful!"

"I'm convinced. From today onwards, I'll follow you and risk my life for you, General."

The weasel lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, then burst into laughter, his pent-up frustration finally dissipating.

He chose to follow Qin Qi, as both his strength and his spirit met his requirements; otherwise, he would not have followed Qin Qi at this time.

He'll really regret it later!

"Come on, follow me, let's go see the village chief of Tono Village."

Qin Qi spoke to the Kamaitachi. After speaking, he walked straight into Tono Village.

Continue to accelerate the pace.

Chapter 177 The Experiences in Tono Village, The Aged Red River Child!

Kamaitachi watched Qin Qi leave, stood up from the ground, and then followed him. Before long, the group arrived at Tono Village.

The door to the room where Chihe Tong and the others were gathered had been opened, and someone came to greet Qin Qi as he arrived at the door.

It was a cat in human form named Shino. The other party led Qin Qi into the house and served him some tea and red bean paste dumplings.

"Cat, I've suddenly realized something!"

Qin Qi looked at Shinobu in front of him and then at the lazy black cat lying on his shoulder. Suddenly, he remembered something!

"Meow, what did you remember?"

The cat looked at Qin Qi again and asked with a puzzled expression, "They should have taken care of things in Kanto and Hokkaido by now, right?"

Is there something I've forgotten? The cat pondered for a long time, but still couldn't figure out what it had forgotten.

"A very important thing."

Qin Qi's expression was serious as he asked, "Why haven't I seen you in your human form yet?"

"Because I don't have a human form at all."

The cat spoke again.

"Hmm? You and she should be of the same race, right?"

Qin Qi looked at his own Nekomata, then at Nekomata Shino from Tono Village. Shouldn't becoming a catgirl be a basic skill for Nekomata?

Why can't my own cat do that?

"I'm a cat by nature, why should I turn into a human? I think I'm fine the way I am now."

Cats aren't incapable of transformation; they just don't want to learn how. They are what they are, so why should they try to become human?

Besides, back when she worked at the ramen shop, Yuki was already ostracized because of her appearance.

Why would a cat want to look like a human? She thinks looking like a cat is best.

"That's right. Now that it's all furry, it can be used as a scarf or a pillow when you sleep. It's much more convenient than the human form."

Qin Qi nodded. The cat form was much more convenient than the human form; at least the human form wasn't as comfortable to use as a pillow.

While Qin Qi was talking to Neko, everyone in Tono Village was on edge, their eyes fixed on Qin Qi.

Red River Child sat upright in the middle position, saying nothing, just quietly listening to Qin Qi and Neko talk.

But the people around him couldn't contain themselves. Some of them started whispering among themselves, and after a long while...

“Mr. Qin Qi, our village would very much like to welcome you, but you should also be aware of our situation here.”

That monster was a type of kappa, with a red face, a nose like a tengu, and a thin, tall build. Judging from its beard, it must have been quite old.

"I understand, but you 770s should also know what I'm here for. I won't waste any more words with you."

"You need to come up with a solution before today ends. If you can't, then we'll stick to the old rules of the monster world."

"Let's fight first, and the winner will decide everything."

Qin Qi stopped talking to the black cat and addressed the monsters.

He was talking to the cat not only because he suddenly remembered that question, but also to give the yokai of Tono Village a chance to think and discuss.

If they can reach a solution, then they should tell everyone; if they can't reach a solution, then they'll have to fight first.

"Mr. Qin Qi, we understand. Please go and rest with your ghosts. We have prepared food."

"We will give you an answer before the end of today."

At this moment, Chihe Tong spoke up, and he had someone take Qin Qi to another house to rest, where wine and food had already been prepared.

After Qin Qi left, everyone started the meeting again.

....................................................................................

"Lord Akakawa, as you can see, this person is far too arrogant, showing absolutely no regard for us Tohno yokai!"

Someone spoke.

"So what? What makes you think you deserve to be taken seriously? Didn't you feel the terrifying aura of fear emanating from him?"

"If you can intimidate us into silence just by your aura, why should anyone respect you if you have that kind of power and charisma?"

Some unruly, powerful monsters also spoke up in this way.

As Chihe Tong listened to his subordinates arguing, he recalled the hundred demons under Qin Qi's command that he had seen earlier.

Although Qin Qi had a large number of ghosts under his command, and there were many voices among them, in the end, they all listened to Qin Qi in deciding what to do.

After he spoke, the others chose to trust him unconditionally and then acted according to his instructions, which was nothing like Tonomura.

Everyone has their own ideas, everyone wants to act alone, and no one will listen to anyone else.

How could such a disorganized structure possibly compete with the other side?

"What you think doesn't matter to me. I've already decided to join them. If anyone wants to come with me, then come with me now."

Kamaitachi did not follow Qin Qi and the others to another house. He sat there listening for a long time, and then suddenly stood up and spoke.

"Lord Kamaitachi, are you betraying Tohno Village?!"

Someone looked at the Kamaitachi in disbelief and asked a question.

"Betrayed the village? No, I did not betray the village."

“The village (abff) is not you, not me, it is all of us, and each of us is a part of Tono Village.”

"I simply made my own decision, the decision that I, as a member of Tonomura, felt I should make."

"This is not betraying the village. Besides, whether or not I have betrayed the village is not up to you to decide. Ask other people if I have betrayed the village?"

The Kamaitachi's vertical pupils, like those of a hunter, fixed on the monster, and for a moment, fear emanated from its body.

The dark green demonic aura enveloped the entire room, causing the temperature inside to drop significantly.

"Lord Kamaitachi is right. The village is not up to you, but up to all of us together."

"I agree with Lord Kamaitachi."

"I agree too."

"Me too."

One by one, many people stood up, walked behind the Kamaitachi, and made their stance clear.

Akakawa looked at the yokai standing behind Kamaitachi; there were nearly forty of them, which was about half of the strength of Tono Village.

These people are not ordinary yokai; each of them is a high-ranking yokai in Tono Village, and they are not only extremely powerful in combat!

At the same time, each of them has many monsters following them, and each of them would be a leader-level monster if placed outside.

The situation on the scene changed instantly, and the group split into three groups. One group, Kamaitachi and his companions, chose to follow Qin Qi.

One group consists of Chihe Tong and his allies who have not expressed their stance, while the other group is very weak and avoids contact with Qin Qi.

At this moment, everyone's attention was focused on the Red Kappa, and about half of the people had already expressed their opinions.

All that's needed is for Akakawa to make a statement, and his subordinates will follow suit, their decisions influencing the final outcome.

“I know what you’re worried about, Tono, no, I should say that the monsters of Tohoku have a hard time.”

"The temperature here is low and the geology is poor. In the past, we didn't even have enough to eat, and the fighting never stopped."

“Now that things have finally stabilized, I understand that you don’t want to change or disrupt your peaceful lives.”

Instead of making a decision, the Red River Child spoke out what the monsters who disagreed with following Qin Qi were thinking.

"Lord Akagawa, it's not that we're afraid, it's just that we've come this far, and one wrong step could lead us to an abyss!"

"I'm not afraid of death, but what about the monsters under my command? They risked their lives to follow me, so I have to be responsible for them!"

The monsters looked at the Red Kappa and sighed. They weren't afraid of death, but sometimes something held them back from charging forward!

They have so many things to consider.

"Yes, I understand. There are no cowards in Tono Village who are afraid of death."

"But have you ever thought that in this dark age, with heroes rising up and powerful beings emerging one after another?"

"Do we really think we can live peacefully if we don't take a stand? No, that's not how it works. Sooner or later, something bad will happen!"

"We cannot leave our fate to luck; from the very beginning, we have been fighting against a life of hardship!"

"So what if we lack land? We'll work hard to cultivate it. So what if we don't have the Lord of a Hundred Demons? We'll strive to become stronger."

"No matter what difficulties we encounter, we fight tenaciously, just as we have in the past, and we will continue to do so now!"

"We're not sitting here waiting to die, we're actively fighting back!"

Red River Child's tone was very calm, but the monsters' hearts were in turmoil upon hearing these words, and those monsters who disagreed with the change fell silent.

The Red Kappa then looked at the Kamaitachi and continued:

"Kamaitachi, you grew up in the village. I remember you started working as a mercenary with everyone when you were very young."
