Becoming a Demon King from Inuyasha

Chapter 56 The Next Target

As they were talking, they had already returned to the castle tower.

Compared to when I left two days ago, there are more buildings on the street.

In the small square in the center of the street directly opposite the castle tower, there stands a statue of Yamon wearing armor and three swords on his waist.

"That's amazing! You even made the statue?"

Kagome's eyes lit up, and she inexplicably felt a sense of belonging to Rong Youyan.

"This statue is very finely crafted. It sounds like it took only two days, or even more. It looks like it was made by a monster stonemason."

"It was probably produced under the guidance of Dao Daosai."

Hearing the idle chatter coming from the courtyard, the Thirteenth Generation Xiu Yuan walked out of the inner room and was about to introduce what had happened in the past two days. Suddenly, he noticed the feathered fox beside Ye Men and immediately quickened his pace.

"Oh my... isn't this Yuyuko? Compared to four hundred years ago, it has become much more dangerous and cute."

"So you are still alive? What an unpleasant man you are." A smile appeared on Yuyuko's lips.

"Everyone is the same."

The 13th generation Xiu Yuan shifted his gaze towards Ye Men, thinking about something.

The aura of the soul has changed slightly, and it seems that a lot of things have happened in modern times.

"With Yemen-kun's strength, he shouldn't be controlled by Yuyuko. So, is it the other way around that Yuyuko is being controlled?"

"Things are a bit complicated, let's go inside and talk in detail."

Entering the living room, Ye Men briefly recounted what had happened over the past two days.

"In other words, the curse on the Hanakaiin clan has been lifted?" The 13th generation Hidemoto subconsciously looked at Yuyuko.

"Of course, you can check it yourself. Or you just can't see it at all? No way? No way?" Yuyuko had a sly smile on his face, his eyes full of teasing.

The Thirteenth Generation Xiu Yuan did not respond. To be honest, without a comparison, with only Yuura as the descendant in front, it was difficult to tell whether the curse had been lifted.

However, since Yamon-kun has been identified as the reincarnation of Haruaki, can we assume that Yuyuko is trustworthy?

After all, what she wanted most was to resurrect Qingming.

"So Lord Seimei used the technique of separating yin and yang. No wonder there are so many inconsistencies in historical records."

"Five hundred years ago, nothing major happened in the past two days. The only things worth mentioning were the storage bag and the rune forum."

"Is it done?" Ye Men's eyes lit up.

Although it seems like a simple thing, it is a symbol of civilization.

"The forum's server is still being optimized. I have already sent people to collect the missing materials. But the storage bag can be used directly."

As he spoke, the 13th generation Xiu Yuan waved his sleeves lightly, and five storage bags fell steadily on the table.

"It's very easy to use. Just input your spiritual or demonic power into it."

Ye Men picked up one of them and tried it. As long as he input spiritual power, his mind would be sucked into it. As long as he touched something in it, he could take it out safely.

The internal space is about the size of a house. There is no gravity, and items placed inside will float. Their positions can be adjusted at will like pushing a box.

It cannot contain any living being, and one cannot enter it.

At this moment, Ye Men inexplicably had the illusion that he was a novice cultivator in the Qi Refining Stage.

"Were there five made?"

"Probably six, or seven. Another one has already been used to transport arms. Although Totosai claimed that he only made six, he may have hidden another one."

"In that case, then... one for each of us?"

As soon as Ye Men finished speaking, the 13th generation Xiu Yuan couldn't wait to pick one up and hang it around his waist.

"No comment."

In order to avoid disputes, he said:

"Then there are forums. All address books are connected to the same platform and can be seen by anyone holding an address book. Therefore, it can only be considered a forum, not a phone message."

"At present, I am still discussing with Dao Daosai how to improve it to be more lightweight."

"However, since there are no more convenient means of communication in this era, we have already started using it yesterday morning."

As he spoke, the 13th generation Xiu Yuan took out a new address book, placed it on the table, and opened the first page.

Soon, lines of text appeared in the address book. Each line of text would automatically disappear after one minute.

Dong Lan: [I have led my troops to conquer Totomi Province. The Imagawa family has fled to Mikawa. Should we pursue them?]

Yukitaka Sanada: [What is the current situation in Mikawa Province?]

Tadame Mototada: [Lord Yukitaka, Lord Donglan asked me to report on the situation in Mikawa Province.

The year before last, Matsudaira Hironori sent his eldest son Takechiyo to the Imagawa family as a hostage, but he was kidnapped by Oda Nobuhide on the way and was forced to serve the Oda family.

At that time, Mikawa Province was divided into three parts, with the Oda family occupying one part, the Matsudaira family occupying one part, and the Imagawa family also occupying one part.

The Matsudaira family was a vassal of the Oda family, but they always had a good relationship with the Imagawa family. Currently, Oda Nobuhide is leading his troops to confront Imagawa Yoshimoto.]

Yukitaka Sanada: [In this case, please leave some troops at the border and lead the army to retreat.

Please ask Lord Kato to send someone to Mikawa Province to assassinate Oda Nobuhide.

Once Oda Nobuhide dies, please ask Lord Donglan to lead the army to attack Imagawa Yoshimoto immediately.]

Dong Lan: [Okay.]

Hojo Ujiyasu: [Lord Yukitaka, I have led my army to conquer Awa Province, but a troop of the Satomi family has fled to Hitachi with women and children. Should we take advantage of the situation to destroy the Satake family in Hitachi?]

Yukitaka Sanada: [Lord Ujiyasu is too murderous. The Satake family has sworn allegiance to the main family. His wife and son, who was born this year, are now living in Edo Castle.]

Hojo Ujiyasu: [I'm sorry, the mixed human-demon army is too powerful, and my family has sufficient food and grass. I can't wait to establish more merits.

Since Hitachi is safe, why don't I lead the army to attack the Takeda family? I'll use the reason that the head of the family dreamed that Takeda Harunobu would lead his troops to attack the main family.]

Yukitaka Sanada: [In this case, when the head of the family comes back, I will ask for instructions on the next development direction of the family.]

Looking at the words that kept appearing and disappearing in the address book, Yuyuko smiled, lay down behind Yemen, leaned against his shoulder, and said with a smile:

"It turns out that Onmyoji's runes have this function. It is indeed similar to the forum. It feels quite interesting."

"The next step is to the west, which is the Takeda family, and to the east is the Date family. Which one?"

"hey-hey……"

As he spoke, Yuyuko deliberately hugged Yemen's neck tightly, rubbing his cheeks and chest slightly twice.

Feeling his rapidly accelerating heartbeat, the smile on her face grew wider.

Ye Men closed his eyes slightly, suppressed the waves in his heart, and asked softly:

"What do you recommend?"

"The Date family, right? It's 1547 now, and the Tenbun Rebellion hasn't ended yet, so it's a good time to go over and get involved."

"Okay, then I'll lead the army to help in the name of support. Can you let me go? It's hard to write like this."

"Ok."

After the teasing was over, the satisfied Yuyuko stood up and sat down next to him.

Ye Men picked up the pen and quickly wrote a sentence on the address book:

Ye Men: "The next target is the Ida family. We should support the weaker party and take over the other party's territory with overwhelming force."

Yukitaka Sanada: "Has the master of the family returned? I see. Until last year, Uemon's side had an overwhelming advantage, but starting this year, the situation began to turn to Harumune's side.

Therefore, my suggestion is to quickly take over Date Harumune's territory in the name of assisting Date Uemune, and it would be best to control Lord Uemune and take the positions of Oshu Tandai and Ushu Tandai from him.

Of course, this is an ideal situation, but at the very least we have to seize a large amount of territory."

Ye Men's mind changed slightly, and he quickly made a decision, and started writing again:

Ye Men: [Let's form the third and fourth legions, with Dong Lan and Ujiyasu in charge respectively.

After making preparations, Dong Lan led the Third Legion to Yuanjiang, waiting for an opportunity to capture Sanhe.

Yukitaka led the First Army to stay in Musashi and closely monitor Kai. If there were any unusual movements from the Takeda family, he would lead his troops to attack immediately.

Ota Sukemasa and Hojo Ujiyasu led the Second and Fourth Armies to attack the Date family, with Hojo Ujiyasu as the commander-in-chief, targeting all the territories of Date Harumune and his allies.

If there is a problem on either side, please inform me immediately.]

Yukitaka Sanada: [Understood. Will the master of the family stay in Edo Castle?]

Yemen: [No, I went to Echigo to talk to Nagao Kagetora about the Sado Gold Mine.]

Seeing this, Kagome had completely lost interest in the conversation in the address book and thought unconsciously:

Echigo, Kikyo seems to be there too.

I wonder how she is doing now? We didn't have a good chat last time, and I still have a lot to say to her.

Chapter 57: Shall we discuss the terms?

Inside Kasugayama Castle.

Early that morning, Nagao Kagetora was planning to take Kikyo out hunting together.

In this era, there are monsters everywhere. The so-called hunting naturally refers not only to wild beasts, but also monsters.

However, not long after he opened his mouth, Xiao Xing came running over in a hurry.

"Master Kagetora, something big happened to my family."

"What's the matter? Don't be anxious, tell me slowly."

"Lord Kagetora, Lord Masakage was attacked by a monster on his way to Kasugayama Castle, and was killed along with more than ten guards."

“What? How could it be…!”

Nagao Kagetora looked stunned. Although the two sides had been at loggerheads due to their hostile relationship, he was still his sister's fiancé after all.

Even if we put this point aside for the moment, Zhengjing is a strong supporter of his brother. If he suddenly dies, it is hard to say whether his brother will think that he was the one who did it.

Echigo, which had finally calmed down, might be plunged into turmoil again because of this.

While he was deep in thought, two more young men ran in.

"Master Kagetora, your elder brother, Master Harukage, wishes to meet with you at Linquan Temple."

"Master Kagetora, the guardian invites you to his home."

Nagao Kagetora sighed helplessly. It was not easy to stabilize the situation.

Although the Echigo clan was divided, they were still brothers after all, and the conflict was resolved because of the adoption.

At the moment, Kagetora and his brother, who should have been enemies, were both living in Kasugayama Castle, maintaining superficial harmony as always.

In fact, Nagao Kagetora was very satisfied with this.

"Why not invite both of them to come together?" Kikyo suggested.

"No, that would probably offend both parties at the same time."

Nagao Kagetora was very conflicted. If he went to the Shugo house, he would offend his brother, and if he went to Linsen Temple, he would offend the Shugo-sama.

Kikyo remained silent, as she naturally knew what was bothering Kagetora.

In this regard, we can only say that you cannot have your cake and eat it too. We should not be too greedy about some things.

At this moment, Kikyo suddenly felt a strong throbbing in her heart, and her soul was stirring, as if wanting to leave her body. Her face turned pale in an instant, and her body was shaking.

"What's wrong with you, Kikyo?" Nagao Kagetora quickly supported her and said without turning his head, "Hikoji, go find a doctor."

"No, I'm not sick, she's here." Kikyo forced herself to suppress the discomfort in her body and looked up at the sky.

"You mean she is..."
