I'm having fun in Tokyo

In his view, the three demon kings under Qingluo were nothing, only this demon king girl named Daigokumaru was a terrifying and powerful enemy that needed to be treated with caution.

Especially since there was a deity standing behind the other party, indicating a powerful background.

Even if the Abe family is destroyed and Seiro is defeated, the other party may only be taken back to the Ise Grand Shrine and will not be punished.

"My Lord God, I have arrived."

Abe Haruhiko withdrew his gaze and bowed to Qingluo.

Although he wished he could kill the other party right now, for the sake of his long-planned scheme, he still showed the other party the due obedience and respect as always.

"You're here? Then sit down." Qingluo finally opened her eyes.

She leaned back in her seat and spoke casually.

Abe Haruhiko nodded.

He sat down in the lower seat, wary.

Chapter 250 Exposed

"Lord of the Household God, you summoned me here. What is it you wish to do?"

He asked Qingluo, while glancing at the four ghost kings beside her.

The white-haired, one-horned girl, Hoshiguma, was still asleep. Ibaraki and Ibuki were also in their original states, one lost in thought, the other with a bitter face, neither drinking nor drinking, just sighing incessantly.

Only Daigokumaru turned his gaze to him.

"Nothing, I just wanted to ask how your preparations are going, and how the shrines and various families are doing?" Qingluo's tone was completely calm.

She looked down at him, her dark green eyes gleaming coldly.

Abe Haruhiko's heart sank.

He felt something was wrong.

Qingluo, this evil spirit, never questions what he believes in.

In other words, if she asks about something, it means she believes there's something wrong with it.

Is she doubting herself?

At such a critical moment?

"Everything has been arranged, Lord House God."

His gaze remained unchanged as he bowed his head to her.

"The five demon generals and all the household god messengers, along with their assigned demons, are waiting at the designated location. As soon as they receive the signal, they will begin their operation and create chaos."

"The elders of the household launched a surprise attack on the Fujiwara and Tokugawa families, thus tying down the key personnel of the two major families."

“I went to Nijo Castle for a meeting, and I also tried to attract the shrine’s attention.”

"Once the true form of the Goddess Mitsuko appears, you can personally take action and, together with Lord Ibuki and the others, subdue and seal it."

"Hmm." Qingluo responded noncommittally, turning her gaze to Daigokumaru to the side.

"Lady Princess, are you still unwilling to take action personally?"

Daigokumaru frowned upon hearing this.

Abe no Haruhiko also looked at Ookumaru.

Several days ago, the evil spirit Qingluo learned that the true god had broken free from the seal, so he left Kyoto and went to the Ise region to invite the Ise Shrine Maiden.

Upon returning, she convened a family meeting and proposed to rebel against the shrine, forcing the shrine master to seal himself away again.

The meeting erupted in uproar; no one agreed.

Even though she has always been the protector of the family and holds real power within it, there are still many people who oppose her and do not want to go to war with the shrine.

After all, shrines have been the true rulers of Kyoto and the Kansai region since the Heian period.

Whether it's the Emperor and the Shogun in the open, or the three powerful families in the shadows, they are all just extensions of the shrine's power to govern the present and the hidden world.

Anyone who defies the shrine will not have a good ending.

The fact that the household deity said he wanted to rebel against the shrine is really hard to understand.

Seeing everyone's opposition, the evil spirit Qingluo summoned the priestess of Ise and explained the real reason.

She believes that the shrine her family has always obeyed is Fushimi Inari Taisha, the shrine of Inari Daimyojin, not the shrine of Mitsuko Shinshu, who broke free from the seal.

The family should wrest power from Mitsuko Shrine Master instead of allowing this non-human, divine being to rule Kansai.

Moreover, the opponent has just broken free of the seal and is very weak, which is a great opportunity to regain power.

The shrine maiden shrine of Ise also supported her decision, promising to bring Kyoto under her protection after the Abe family successfully seized power, to support the Abe family, and to seal the shrine maiden shrine of Mitsuko forever.

The dissenting voices at the meeting then subsided.

Their original concern was the relationship between the shrine maiden Mitsuko and the shrine maiden Yoshiko, fearing that Yoshiko would interfere.

But now that the Ise Shrine Master is backing them up and the Mitsuko Shrine Master is very weak, inappropriate thoughts began to arise in their minds, and they no longer objected.

After weighing the balance of power between the two sides, he realized that this was a golden opportunity to destroy the Abe family.

Qingluo was unaware of her true identity. The Fujiwara and Tokugawa families would not stand idly by and watch the shrine stand by. Even with the addition of the Four Demon Kings, the Abe family alone would not be a match for the shrine.

Of course, this is on the premise that Princess Hime will not take action herself.

Otherwise, Yoshiko Shrine would be held back by the other side.

Qingluo, that evil spirit, will definitely use some methods that go beyond the bottom line of humanity to force Mitsuko God.

The goddess is so gentle, she will definitely have a hard time making a decision, and she might let the other party succeed.

Haruhiko Abe couldn't help but feel a little worried.

He looked at Daigokumaru and noticed that she shook her head.

"The Divine Lord said that she will only make her move after that Divine Lord Ryoko makes his move."

"She wouldn't interfere in Kyoto unless there was an external force interfering with it."

Qingluo sneered upon hearing this: "If there were no external forces interfering in Kyoto... in the eyes of the Priestess Hime, that little swordsman wouldn't be considered an external force?"

Little swordsman?

Abe Haruhiko paused for a moment, then suddenly realized that the other person was talking about Lady Mitsuko's other half, the great swordsman named Morikawa Yu.

Understanding this made Abe Haruhiko inexplicably displeased.

That Mr. Morikawa is Lady Mitsuko's lover.

Her looking down on and insulting him is a sign of disrespect for Lady Mitsuko.

“Yes.” Daigokumaru shook his head. “But according to the information we obtained from the Ise Grand Shrine, his lover is a divine demon from the Age of Gods.”

“If the God Lord attacks him, the Divine Demon behind him will definitely appear.”

"The opponent is very strong, and the God Lord does not wish to engage in conflict with them."

Qingluo's gaze sharpened.

She closed her eyes, tapped her fingers on the chair, and said nothing more.

Daigokumaru continued, "Seiro, to put it bluntly, the Goddess doesn't think highly of your Abe family, and even I think you have absolutely no chance of winning."

"If you had acted directly a few days ago, there might still have been a chance."

"The situation is very unfavorable for you now."

“Even if the shrine master Ryoko and the shrine master don’t make a move, your Abe family alone is definitely no match for the shrine and the other two major families.”

“I know that.” Qingluo suddenly opened her eyes.

“Not only do I know this, but I also know that someone is deliberately stalling for time, tilting the situation toward the shrine, and that they have lured that young swordsman from Tokyo.”

"You agree, right, Haruhiko?"

She looked at Haruhiko Abe, a cold smile creeping across her face.

Abe no Haruhiko was taken aback. Without any hesitation, he instantly transformed into black armor and became a blur as he rushed toward the gate behind him.

He is not stupid.

When he was summoned earlier, he suspected that he had been exposed.

But he still held onto a sliver of hope, after all, he had been disguising himself for so many years, climbed to such a high position, and it was the most crucial time.

If Qingluo had discovered him earlier, she wouldn't have allowed herself to do these things.

It's unlikely that I only discovered it recently.

After all, in order to remain perfectly hidden, he had not revealed his identity to anyone except Fujiwara Keisuke.

Chapter 251 Gives You Two Choices

He had never even contacted the shrine.

How did Qingluo discover her true identity under these circumstances?

He was filled with doubt as he rushed toward the main hall door.

Regardless of how she found out, the important thing is to escape from here first.

If he can't escape, Fujiwara Keisuke won't know that he's been exposed and will continue to deal with the Abe family according to his original plan.

At that time, the Fujiwara family would be caught completely off guard.

Qinglu sneered, but made no move.

Just as Abe no Haruhiko turned around, Ibaraki, who was beside her, had already stood up, turned into a blur, and chased after Abe no Haruhiko, and was much faster than Abe no Haruhiko.

In the blink of an eye, Ibaraki was behind Abe no Haruhiko. He jumped up and his slender legs under his dress swept towards Abe no Haruhiko's back.

Abe Haruhiko was unable to dodge and was struck squarely, spitting out a mouthful of blood as his body flew through the air.

But he used this sweep to get close to the gate and crash into it.

Although he was no match for Qingluo and the four great demon kings, he was still considered a half-demon with the strength of a high-ranking demon.

Even if it were a gate, or even a reinforced concrete wall several meters thick, he could simply smash through it and it wouldn't stop him at all.

boom!

He slammed into the door, but his expression changed and he couldn't stop himself from retreating.

The door he had just hit was visibly deformed, with a large dent and fine cracks, but it did not collapse. Only a faint blue light emanated from the cracks in the door.

He turned around and saw that Qingluo's hand was on the seat, infusing it with demonic power.

The demonic power flowed down the chair, seeping into the ground and continuously reinforcing her surroundings, the floor of the main hall, and the walls, effectively turning the main hall into a cage.

Abe Haruhiko's heart sank.

All four Demon Kings are among the best of the high-ranking demons, and Qingluo, this evil demon, is an even more outstanding high-ranking demon; otherwise, she wouldn't be one of the household gods of the three great families.

He was powerless to resist her.

Even a wall reinforced with demonic energy is difficult for him to break through.

He looked at Qingluo, then at the other three ghost kings.

Ibuki, who looked like a middle-aged, decadent uncle, finally turned her gaze to him, but shook her head and just sighed.

Hoshiguma seemed to have been startled awake, looking completely bewildered.

Daigokumaru whispered a few words to her, as if explaining what had happened.

She paused for a moment, nodded, sat up straight, and glared at him.

Abe Haruhiko's heart grew cold.

Ibaraki walked towards him and swept his leg out again.

He raised his arms to protect himself, unleashing his demonic power in an attempt to block, but his body still couldn't stop him from retreating, crashing into the main hall door behind him.

"Cough!" Abe Haruhiko coughed, and another mouthful of blood gushed out.

He covered his mouth, but blood continued to flow, staining his magnificent robes crimson, and his arms trembled slightly.
