If we let her go, no one will agree!

I wouldn't agree to it myself!

Morikawa Yu stood in the storm, gazing at Qingluo's face, gradually pushing Mikazuki into her head as well. The accumulating wind was like rays of clear light, resolutely and unstoppably eroding Qingluo's consciousness.

Qinglu struggled desperately, cursing him viciously, but she had long since lost the strength to resist.

His force eroded her consciousness, gradually dissipating it until nothing remained...

After a while, the strong wind died down.

Qingluo's head was completely shattered, and his headless body collapsed limply, falling to pieces.

He had already heard the system's voice and confirmed that Qingluo had been killed by him, and was definitely dead.

Even so, he did not relax at all. His body fell forward weakly, and he could only barely rely on Tsurumaru and Mikazuki to support himself and prevent himself from falling.

Killing Qingluo was completely beyond the limits of his strength.

Even if his attacks on her were real injuries, it would still be far too much of a stretch.

The final, forceful execution had severely depleted his strength; he was only holding on by sheer willpower to avoid fainting.

I could faint at any moment.

In Morikawa Yu's hand, Tsurumaru emitted an uneasy, clear chirping sound.

Even Mikazuki lost his usual tranquility; the blade glowed with a clear light, swirling around him, trying to ease his fatigue and nourish his depleted strength.

However, the effect was not obvious.

Even so, Morikawa Yu persevered and did not collapse.

Why am I still persisting?

Qingluo is already dead, and I have made her pay the price. Everything should be settled now.

But why am I still holding on and not wanting to fall?

Perhaps it's because he discovered that Qingluo was dead, but the matter was far from over.

Morikawa Yu's hands trembled as she gritted her teeth and straightened her body.

He looked up at the sky and saw a girl, about fourteen or fifteen years old, dressed in white and barefoot.

Her face was fair and delicate, like flawless jade, exquisite and lovely. She wore a white shrine maiden outfit with a golden ribbon tied around her chest, and her red hakama only reached her knees, revealing her fair calves. She floated in the air.

Her body radiated a blazing golden light, like a dazzling sun. She was no less impressive than Ryoko, and on par with Hiizuki.

She is the master of Ōtamaru, the head priestess of Ise Grand Shrine, and the current shrine maiden.

She looked at Morikawa Yu, stretched out her arms towards him, and opened her hands.

Chapter 278 Follow me

"Come with me."

The ethereal voice of the priestess rang out in mid-air.

Morikawa Yu straightened up, leaning on his twin swords, and shook his head.

"You don't want to?" the priestess asked softly, as if she had expected it. "Well, after all, you still have many things to do."

"But it's not up to you."

She slightly opened her small hands, and a vast golden divine light descended.

Morikawa Yu gripped Tsurumaru tightly, trying to dodge, but her body swayed unsteadily.

He had no strength left, and the divine power of the priestess continued to extend and expand in the sky, enveloping the entire Abe family manor in a short time.

"Leave this place, Priestess!"

With a shout of anger, Mitsuko extended three or four fox tails, gently pulling Morikawa Yu to her side, one hand tightly encircling his waist.

The priestess frowned slightly.

Her divine light ceased to spread and finally stopped in front of Mitsuko and Morikawa Yu.

“Mizuko, I mean no harm, I just want to talk to him about something.”

"What can't be said here? Why are you taking Morikawa away?" Mitsuko asked coldly, her expression unreadable, neither angry nor suspicious.

But her hands were tightly wrapped around Morikawa Yu's waist, almost touching him.

Mitsuko was afraid.

This feeling suddenly arose in Morikawa Yu's heart.

She wasn't afraid of the shrine maiden, but rather afraid that the shrine maiden would take her away.

Qingluo had been threatening her, saying he would humiliate and possess her in front of her.

Now that Qingluo has been dealt with, the Priestess Hime suddenly appears and wants to take him away as well.

Although she had regained some of her fighting strength, she only possessed the power of the One-Tailed Incarnation, which was far from enough to contend with a super-strong individual like the Priestess Hime, whose strength was comparable to her original form.

That's why she was afraid.

She was afraid she wouldn't be able to protect herself, afraid the priestess would take her away.

The question is, why did the Priestess take him away?

Morikawa Yu silently changed his summoner spells to Heal and Teleport, staring at the Shrine Maiden without saying a word.

The shrine maiden was also looking at Morikawa Yu.

After a while, she looked at Mitsuko again: "It's none of your business."

"How can it be none of my business!?"

Mitsuko roared angrily.

She glared at the priestess, her delicate face filled with anger.

She doesn't usually get angry over anything.

As a yokai of the Age of Gods, the strongest among yokai, and the master of the Kansai region, few dare to offend her, and even fewer can escape a good end after provoking her.

Of course, this happened eight or nine hundred years ago, and there were people who dared to disrespect her.

For example, the shrine maiden before us.

"Morikawa is my other half, my lover. How can it be none of my business if you want to take him away!?"

Upon hearing this, the priestess frowned and suddenly glared at Morikawa Yu.

Morikawa Yu was bewildered by her glare.

"I'll repeat myself, leave this place, Princess!" Mitsuko said coldly again.

"Qingluo has been defeated by Morikawa, and the Abe family has been completely wiped out."

“Although my power is exhausted, I am still a god. The power of a god is unlikely to have any effect on another god. Moreover, Ryoko is watching this place from the shrine. If you want to attack me and Morikawa, she will come directly.”

"You have no chance."

The priestess was slightly taken aback.

Just as she was about to speak, she noticed that a similarly vast golden divine light had indeed appeared in the sky not far away.

A beautiful woman in purple hunting attire slowly emerged from the golden light...

......

half a minute ago.

Fushimi Ward, Kyoto.

Ryoko floated in the sky above the shrine.

Daitamaru and Shinjuku stayed quietly by her side.

From the moment Asaka and the others arrived at the Abe family residence, to the moment the three Oni Kings, Ibuki and the others, stormed into the Abe family manor as vanguards, and then to the moment they began their battle with Ao-ra, Ryoko had been watching the Abe family residence in the northern district, observing the situation there.

As she had predicted, Qingluo had her own trump cards and methods, crushing the three demon kings and leaving Qianxiang and Heizang in a sorry state.

However, she was not worried that Mitsuko and Morikawa would get into trouble.

On Morikawa's body, there is a mark of demonic power.

She had seen this demonic mark on Xin Jue's body before, and had also heard Fei Yue talk about the mark's function.

If a danger arises that could cause fatal damage to Morikawa, the demonic power mark will transfer the damage to Hiigetsu and summon her at the same time.

No matter how strong Qingluo becomes, she can never be stronger than everything else.

Before Fei Yue, even true gods could only perish with resentment, let alone an incomplete ghost like her.

But Ryoko didn't expect that it would be Morikawa who would ultimately defeat Aoro.

When Yujinzi was helpless and thought that Feiyue was about to appear, he took the initiative to step forward, confront Qingluo directly, and successfully defeated and killed Qingluo.

This surprised her greatly, even more than seeing Qingluo become a ghost or god.

Although Morikawa had already defeated Ōtamaru, who possessed the body of a demon god, Ōtamaru was not the historical demon god Ōgakumaru.

Her divinity had been completely eradicated, leaving only a few remnants. Her ghostly body was merely a nominal one, far inferior to a true ghostly body.

If some time passes, her last vestiges of divinity may vanish, and she may become a pure demon.

So when he learned that Morikawa had defeated Otamaru, he was happy, but it was only the kind of happiness that comes from "seeing a junior make progress and grow."

After all, Ootamaru's strength is only that of a high-ranking great demon, and there is a clear gap between him and top-ranking beings like Asaka and Kurozo.

But Qingluo is different.

She was originally a top-tier high-ranking demon, similar to Asaka and Kurozo. After using a secret technique to overdraw her life force, she became almost as powerful as one of Mitsuko's incarnations.

Finally, she extracted all the life force she could, condensed divinity, and became an incomplete ghost god.

This incompleteness refers to the incompleteness of divinity, but the difference in power is not that great.

If she doesn't take action and Hiiyue doesn't appear, Mitsuko and the others are definitely no match for her.

But she was still defeated by Morikawa.

Although he looked very strained and exhausted, it was a remarkable achievement to do so, far surpassing what others could not.

Morikawa is truly a child who can surprise people; it's making me like him more and more.

"Master...Master is here."

"Otamaru suddenly said, sounding somewhat nervous."

Ryoko frowned.

She saw a white-clad, barefoot girl appear in the sky above the Abe residence; it was Princess Hime.

"What is your master doing here?" Xin Jue asked curiously.

"I don't know," Daitamaru shook his head.

"You're lying!" Xin Jue immediately gave him a look of disdain.

Although she doesn't have the ability to read minds, she can tell if someone is lying.

As expected, Ootamaru looked surprised.

Chapter 279 Things That Cannot Be Exchanged

Ryoko ignored the two of them, and golden divine light emanated from her.

Her inner senses could tell that Otamaru was lying, while her inner senses in the Goshuincho directly read Otamaru's inner thoughts at that moment.

"How could she guess that I was covering for my master? Is this pink-haired little monster some kind of monster? Never mind, anyway, I am of higher status than her. Even if she can read minds, as long as I conceal it a little, she won't be able to read what I'm thinking."

"But it's quite intriguing that the master is paying so much attention to this human."

"Does it mean they want to take him back and discipline him?"

"Speaking of which, my master has never had any friends since she was little; she seems a bit lonely."

"Hahaha, what strange things am I thinking? My master is so naive, he probably just wants to study this human's power, he can't possibly be interested in him."
