Daigokumaru sighed, and although he was very unwilling, he still readily admitted defeat.

If you lose, you lose.

Even if you don't want to admit it, you've already lost.

It's truly unsightly to stubbornly refuse to admit defeat.

Morikawa Yu nodded and glanced at her body lying on the ground.

"So now you're my prisoner, right?"

Upon hearing this, Daigokumaru gave him a deep look.

She nodded.

It looks very strange because only her head is floating in mid-air right now.

Morikawaha put the sword into its sheath.

He looked at Ibaraki, Ibuki, and Hoshiguma, who was sleeping on Ibuki's shoulder, and called to Nagako using the Goshuincho.

Ryoko's response came quickly, her voice filled with concern: "Morikawa, aren't you coming back yet?"

“If you don’t come back soon, Mitsuko will bring people to look for you. She’s been urging me several times in just a short while.”

Hearing her words, Morikawa Yu smiled.

"I'll be back right away, Ryoko."

"As for this place, I have already handed Abe no Haruhiko over to the Fujiwara family, and I also persuaded the three demon kings of Tanba Mountain to give up helping Seiraku and join us in defeating him."

"You convinced them? And even got them to switch sides and help us fight against Qingluo?" Liangzi couldn't help but be a little surprised.

She never expected that Morikawa could do so much in such a short time.

Isn't this too fast?

"Oh, right, I also have Hime-miya's shikigami, Ookumaru."

Morikawa Yu glanced at Daigokumaru's head floating in the sky, then at her headless body as she stood up from the ground.

"When I was persuading Ibuki and the others, she was right there and fought with me."

"Hime-shrine maiden's shikigami, Ōgokumaru? It fought you? Is it still fighting!?"

Ryoko's voice suddenly quickened: "Morikawa, you have to be careful. Before she was taken in as a shikigami by the first priestess, she was a demon of Mount Ise."

"Although it has gradually lost its divinity and weakened over the past few hundred years, it is still one of the best among the high-ranking great demons, and it also possesses the treasure, the Three Bright Swords."

"These three swords are named Da Tong Lian, Xiao Tong Lian, and Xian Ming Lian. Each possesses unique abilities; when fully activated, they can rival those of top-tier high-level demons..."

She seemed very worried that Morikawa Yu would be taken advantage of, so she revealed all the information she knew.

As Morikawa Yu listened to Ryoko's words, he silently glanced at Daigokumaru beside him.

The other person was putting the head on the neck. After putting it on, they looked down and realized that the direction was wrong. Their chest was flat, so they turned the head around again.

That's it?

Morikawa Yu couldn't help but mutter to herself.

Is this the same animal that Ryoko was talking about?

He couldn't help but think of his battle with Daigokumaru earlier, and shook his head again.

Perhaps the opponent really is as strong as Ryoko said, after all, the opponent has a body of a demon god, and those three strange katana.

It was only because of his divine nature, which he restrained himself, that he lost so decisively.

Morikawa Yu didn't know how to tell her, so after hesitating for a while, she said to her, "Um, Ryoko, we've already finished the fight."

After a while, when he didn't hear Ryoko speak, he suddenly realized that Ryoko was worried about him, and immediately added, "I won."

"Really?" Ryoko asked softly.

“Really,” he replied with certainty.

"That's fine, that's fine."

Ryoko breathed a sigh of relief, as if she were pleased that the child she had been worrying about had grown up, and seemed somewhat happy.

Come back soon.

"By the way, are you injured? The Goshuin-cho I gave you contains divine protective charms that can help you recover from injuries. Don't worry about running out, there are plenty."

She spoke with concern.

"I suffered a minor injury, but I've almost fully recovered."

Morikawa Yu smiled helplessly.

During the battle, he was slashed in the left shoulder by Daigokumaru's Kenmei Chain, but thanks to the Wind Shield, the injury was minor and he has now recovered a lot.

However, he didn't find her concern annoying; instead, he felt a sense of reassurance.

"Let's go back now."

"it is good."

Ryoko's voice disappeared.

Morikawaha looked at Ojomaru.

She retrieved her three swords and put them away.

He suddenly remembered that during the battle, Tsurumaru overwhelmed the Kenmei Ren of the Three Swords of Fame, and Mikazuki also overwhelmed Kotori Ren, and then they both emitted light, and he didn't know what changes had occurred.

But we're all going back now, so there's no time to watch anymore.

He waved to Ibaraki and the other two, dispelling the domain.

The golden light in the surrounding environment rippled away, and Morikawa Yu and the others returned to their original world.

He originally intended to head back towards the shrine, but was suddenly startled.

Not far from the group, outside the mall, stood the figure of a young girl.

The other person was dressed in a pure white shrine maiden outfit, with long black hair reaching her waist. She looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, about the same age as Nanami. She wore a golden three-leaf ribbon tied around her chest, and her red hakama only reached her knees, revealing her fair calves. She floated barefoot in the air.

Her face was fair and delicate, like flawless jade, exquisite and lovely, but her beautiful, clear eyes seemed to possess a profound aura that made people afraid to look directly at her.

Pedestrians passing by in the mall all kept their distance from her, almost emptying the entire mall plaza, but no one paid any attention, as if that was how it was supposed to be, and no one looked at her, as if she didn't exist.

However, in Morikawa Yu's eyes, the other party's presence was quite obvious.

She possessed a blazing golden light, like a dazzling and scorching sun. Even compared to Ryoko, she was in no way inferior, and perhaps even slightly superior.

Ookumaru stood still, his eyes narrowing, and bowed slightly to the other party: "Lord God."

Morikawa Yu's body stiffened.

Chapter 267 Do we know each other?

The lord of the gods... the lord of Daigokumaru.

She's a priestess!?

Ryoko and the Great Fox also need to be careful of the Priestess!?

Why did she come here?

Morikawa Yu stared intently at the barefoot girl in white.

She simply appeared here and cleared out the entire plaza in front of the mall.

Whether it was people entering or leaving the mall, or people who were originally strolling in the square, they all stayed away from this place, forming long queues and leaving the square along the edge, which was extremely eerie.

Even more strangely, no one noticed anything amiss.

Even though people were crowded around the square, making it incredibly congested, no one approached the empty square. Everyone seemed dazed, leaving along the edge of the square, leaving everything around them empty.

"The Pure Realm... it still has the aura of divine power. It's Lady Hime." Shinjue suddenly muttered to himself inside the Goshuin-cho.

Morikawa Yu frowned.

"Pure Domain? What's that? And Xinjue, do you know her?"

"It is the realm where the God Lord drives away all worldly things, which is similar to the realm of freedom of Lady Scarlet Moon."

Xin Jue said in a low voice.

"Those affected by the Purification Domain will leave unconsciously, not remembering what happened, and wander around until the owner of the Purification Domain leaves, at which point they will return."

“Some powerful gods who dislike the mortal world will use the Purification Domain when they appear in the mortal world to drive away mortals. Of course, a powerful person like you, Master, will sense something amiss in the Purification Domain and come to your senses.”

"Even the greatest demon among demons can maintain its own identity within the Pure Realm."

"However, the gods who can possess the Pure Domain are all super strong beings who can contend with the great demons of the Age of Gods. Even if ordinary great demons and human powerhouses are conscious, they would find it difficult to face them."

Xin Jue explained another sentence to him.

"Besides, I don't know her, Master."

"I only sensed the divine power of the Priestess Hime and saw the Pure Domain appear, so I guessed it was her."

"Lady Himezuki and the Priestess Himezuki fought before. Although there was no winner, I still remember it quite clearly."

"Higetsu and the Priestess fought to a draw? Was it her?"

Morikawa Yu couldn't help but be even more surprised.

He looked again at the barefoot girl in white, admiring her delicate and lovely face, her fair and jade-like complexion, her slender figure clad in white and priestess's robes, and the intense and dazzling divine light emanating from her.

She floated above the ground, her bare skin below her calves translucent, making her look like an ethereal, otherworldly deity looking down upon everything.

No, it's not quite right to call them gods either.

Even a god couldn't fight Fei Yue to a standstill, and couldn't even achieve mutual destruction; he was easily defeated.

From this perspective, the other party is far stronger than a god.

“It’s not her,” Xinjue shook her head, correcting him.

"She was her previous priestess."

"There have been more than a dozen Princess Shrine Maidens from the first generation to the present."

"So that means she can't beat Fei Yue?"

Morikawa Yu's mood calmed down a bit.

"It's hard to say, because the power of each priestess is not much different. This one seems to be even stronger, very close to the priestess of the past."

Then what are you talking about?

Morikawa Yu's heart immediately clenched again.

He only knew that the other party was very strong, so strong that Ryoko and the Great Fox had to be careful, but he had no idea that the other party was this strong, able to fight Hishitsuki to a standstill.

But why did she come here?

Is it because he just defeated Daigokumaru that he's being asked to help Qingluo capture him?

Morikawa Yu looked at the other person, his hand resting on Tsurumaru at his waist, becoming extremely cautious.

He didn't know if the other party would attack him, but even if they did, he wasn't prepared to surrender. Instead, he locked onto his teleportation skill, ready to teleport back to the shrine at any time.

On the other side, the priestess was also watching him.

Morikawa Yu frowned slightly.

The priestess looked at him for a while, then turned her gaze to Ookumaru.

"Lost?" Her cherry lips parted slightly, her voice ethereal.

"I lost." Daigokumaru lowered his head honestly.

Seeing that Ibuki and the others had disappeared, I promptly asked the priestess for help.

The priestess was unwilling to fight this human, so she asked the priestess to send her into the area released by this human so that she could fight him.

He originally thought he could beat his opponent, but he didn't expect his opponent to be much stronger than he had anticipated, and the opponent defeated him decisively.

Even if you don't want to admit defeat, you can only accept the reality of defeat.

Morikawa Yu watched the two talking and remained silent.
