In the anime, their emotions can be combined into strange props

Hearing Hikigaya's voice, which was a little insecure due to his involvement, Xia Yan nodded nonchalantly. "Also, forget about the family's unique secret arts in the Ren library. The old man kept the basic spells and secret arts separately. This token can only show the basic ones."

"But on the other hand, as a condition and transaction for adopting branch family members to become family heads, Hanakaiyuan has also collected books on Yin-Yang techniques developed by other branch families. Of course, as usual, forget about the unique secret techniques of each family, but the basics are included."

"Hachiman, you should take turns exchanging tokens with Kaguya during this time to see if there are any spells from each family that you can learn and that would be useful to you."

As for Xia Yan, he was not interested in Yin-Yang magic at all. After all, his system had already been formed, and this power from an almost completely different system was not even useful for him as a reference.

However, Xia Yan finally patted Hikigaya's shoulder again and said thoughtfully, "You two should hurry up and see if you can get some Yin-Yang magic for free. I'm afraid this period of time will be the last buffer time between us and Yuyuko."

Because the 13th generation Hanakaiin Hidemoto, who was considered the most talented in history, used Nijo Castle as the starting point and the key transportation roads connecting various parts of Kyoto as the foundation to set up the strongest barrier covering Kyoto in the shape of a vortex - the spiral seal!

All monsters were excluded from the barrier, bringing four hundred years of security and prosperity to Kyoto.

Therefore, even if Yuyuko was unwilling, she had to follow the arrangement of the 13th generation Hidemoto and remove the eight seals one by one, so that the hundreds of ghosts and monsters under her command could gradually enter Kyoto.

It is also while Yuyuko needs to remove the seals one by one that they will have a short period of relief before engaging in a full-scale battle with Yuyuko.

to be honest……

Xia Yan looked at Hikigaya's back as he rushed straight to the book collection place, with a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He learned directly from Hikigaya the location of Yuyuko's base camp.

After that, Xia Yan naturally...thought about whether he should go for a rush!

But unfortunately, he gave up in the end.

Although judging from the overall strength of the Yuyuko camp that Hikigaya saw, he could fight alone, but if he wanted to achieve a satisfactory result, it might be a bit troublesome with his strength.

Therefore, Xia Yan also needs to wait for an opportunity, an opportunity... to have a chance to kill Yuyuko!

This is also the reason why Xia Yan did not tell the old man, the head of the Huakaiyuan family, the location of Yuyuko.

If they knew the location of Yuyuko, they would rush to it in a hurry and recklessly, alerting the enemy and the situation would be even worse!

Therefore, Yuyuko needs time to remove the seal, Xia Yan also needs to wait for the opportunity, and Yukino's Nura group also needs to wait for their young master to return from training...

With various intertwined goals, the three major camps may usher in a period of "peace (relatively speaking)".

Chapter 173 Prelude

"Another meeting? Even though all five seals have been removed, that feathered fox is about to attack us at our doorstep. Those old guys really never get tired of it."

In a private bedroom of the Hanakaiin family, Hikigaya was sitting cross-legged on the tatami in the room. Even he couldn't help but feel speechless about the group of family heads and elders of the Hanakaiin family.

At the same time, Hikigaya, who came to discuss with Xia Yan what to do next, did not waste any time and energy. He was carefully flipping through an ancient and worn book in his hand.

Eighty-Ryu: Secret Manual of Making Demonic Swords

This is the book that Hikigaya is currently reading. To be honest, he originally entered the Hanakaiin family's library just to give it a try, following Xia Yan's instructions.

Unexpectedly, he actually found a Yin-Yang technique that might bring him great improvement and transformation - it came from the Yasuri branch of the family, and was a kind of magic sword making craft that Hanakaiin Akifusa, the person in charge of the first seal, was good at.

However, if Hikigaya wanted to cultivate this "demon sword" now, he still had a difficult problem to solve - he needed a skilled person in the art of making demon swords to give him some assistance, and he might also need to use his parasitic beast...

This raises a question:

If I, Hikigaya, want to master the demon sword, I must demonstrate the parasitic beast that is a "monster" → Then go and demonstrate it → No, I must be human in order to get the Onmyoji's help in forging the demon sword → Then don't demonstrate the parasitic beast → How can I master the demon sword without demonstrating the parasitic beast (annoying)! → Then demonstrate the parasitic beast.jpg

"Don't count on those guys, but we will have a chance soon."

Xia Yan glanced at Hikigaya, who looked troubled, and the book he was reading with the words "Eighty-Ryu Demon Sword" on the cover, and said something as if hinting at something.

"Also, Yukino has arrived in Kyoto ahead of time, and I'm going to meet a few people soon. What about you? What are your plans?"

"Forget it, since you already have plans, I won't join in the fun."

Hikigaya raised the ancient book in his hand, shook his head and said with a helpless smile: "After all, Kaguya-san works so hard and spends all day in that library. As a "senior", I don't think I can slack off too much."

“Alright, whatever you like.

"Wow~"

Xia Yan opened the shoji door of the room and then walked towards a side room in the Hanakaiin family used to entertain guests.

Nura Rikuo, the young master of the Nura group of the Tokyo Yokai camp, is a half-demon with three-quarters human blood. Since he basically maintains his human state during the day, so... well, anyway, it's the traditional Japanese high school (junior high) school student saving the world story.

Because of this, his human hind-legged classmates who knew nothing about his identity would come to Kyoto for a trip in the near future - he was truly a sheep walking into the tiger's mouth.

Therefore, the Nura group has been disguised as human students. The snow woman Bingli who accompanies the young master to school, and another monster Qingtianfang will act as invisible nannies and come to Kyoto with this group of students.

Yukino took advantage of this opportunity and came to Kyoto early. She had talked to Xia Yan about this matter on the phone before, so Xia Yan came here to "pick her up".

"Senior~!"

Accompanied by a long, coquettish voice, Xia Yan, who had just opened the door, immediately saw Wu Garuda, whom he had not seen for a while, rushing towards him like a koala.

Seeing this, Xia Yan quickly moved sideways, dodging Garuda's excited bear hug. He also grabbed Garuda's collar from behind, but his attention was not on Garuda who was so close to him. Instead, he looked at Yukino in the room with a slightly strange look.

"So what are you doing, Yukino?"

At this time, Yukinoshita Yukino put her legs together, her waist straight, and sat on the sofa with an elegant posture. She really looked like a perfect lady - if she didn't have her arms around a snow girl who had her eyes narrowed helplessly and a look of despair on her face, it would be true.

"Well, I'm experiencing a new Snow Girl power up close."

Xia Yan looked at the snow girl and Kawa Bingli sitting on Yukino's thighs. There was indeed wisps of energy like black smoke surrounding her body. He could only say: Don't worry, as long as you are happy.

"Then let me ask you another question, Yukino."

Xia Yan casually placed the Garuda he was holding on the ground, like a doll, and immediately got down to business: "How's the situation over there?"

"It's not bad. The Nura Clan, to which Miss Snow Lady Bingli belongs, and the monsters in Tokyo have all warmly entertained us."

Yukino gently touched the ice-blue hair on the head of Ikawa Bingli in her arms, and then let go of the arms that were around the snow girl. Watching her hurriedly rubbing against her to escape from her figure, Yukino couldn't help but reveal a fleeting smile.

But then her expression suddenly turned serious. "But because the young master of the Nura Clan is still training, it may take some time for their main force to arrive. At least, you can forget about getting their support for now."

Xia Yan nodded as expected, then he turned his gaze to the fourth person in the room.

This is a middle school girl with short black hair, wearing a white hunting robe with wide sleeves on the upper body, and a JC blue pleated skirt on the lower body. She has a rebellious but somewhat cute feeling.

Her half-open eyes at this moment were like a reckless deer lost in the forest, revealing a clear and stupid light, giving people a silly feeling, just... looking quite cute.

"Xia Yan-kun, it's been a while since I last saw you. How have you been lately?"

Seeing Xia Yan looking over, Hanakaiin Yuura greeted him with a little nervousness.

It seems that Nura Rikuo's group of lagging classmates were attacked by Kyoto monsters and were holding back, so Yuura and Yuki-onna rushed to the scene to rescue these classmates, and then brought them and the Yuki-onna to the base camp of the Onmyoji.

But Onii-chan...

"cough."

Xia Yan seemed to have triggered some key word switch. He clenched his left fist, raised it to his mouth, and coughed lightly, then instantly switched to the serious attitude of a brother. "Yuuluo, how is your Shikigami Pojun training going?"

"Uh……"

Upon hearing this, Hanakaiin Yuura instantly straightened up as if being called upon by the teacher to answer a question. He subconsciously tensed up and reported, almost saluting, "I've basically completed my training of the Shikigami Pojun, but it may take some practice before I can use it perfectly!"

"Well, very good, you should hurry up and finish it as soon as possible."

Xia Yan tried to encourage her as an older brother, but then he noticed a look of hesitation on Hanakaiin Yuura's cute face.

She then gritted her teeth and asked, "Brother Xia Yan, is the situation at home... not very good?"

"You don't need to worry about these things. The biggest help to us is that you complete the Shikigami Pojun as quickly as possible!"

Without even thinking, Xia Yan made a decisive statement: "I...we will try our best to buy you some time, so hurry up, You Luo."

——I guess all other Hanakaiin Onmyoji probably think the same way.

The 13th generation genius Hanakaiin Hidemoto, who has an extremely strong presence, said something very well: Compared to monsters who have hundreds of years of training, we humans only have a few decades, so it is normal that we cannot win.

So how can we make up for the gap that has accumulated over hundreds of years and defeat these monsters?

Of course, that depends on extraordinary talent (bold statement)!

Well, although the basic point of this theory of talent is generally correct, humans also need time and means to turn their talents into actual combat power.

The secret technique of Shikigami Pojun, developed by the 13th generation genius Hanakaiin Hidemoto, is the fastest way to transform talent into strength.

This spell can summon all generations of [Hanakaiin Hidemoto] as Shikigami, and then add all the spiritual power of these 26 generations of family heads to oneself. In this way, the power of the spell will naturally be multiplied, achieving an extremely amazing improvement.

Moreover, this Shikigami Pojun is also one of the keys to sealing Yuyuko.

Therefore, in the entire Hanakaiin family, Hanakaiin Yuura, who is the only one who has the talent to practice the Shikigami Pojun, is undoubtedly the most important person.

To put it bluntly, even if all the Onmyojis in the Hanakaiin family were dead, she, Hanakaiin Yuura, must not die!

So even if the Hanakaiin family is gradually forced into a desperate situation, the current head of the family would rather temporarily abandon Hanakaiin Ryuji and the two major fighting forces of Momeiliu, and let these two people be responsible for guiding and protecting Yuura in practicing the Shikigami Pojun.

For Xia Yan, Hanakaiin Yuura is also a "card" that can be used.

Squinting his eyes slightly, Xia Yan looked at Yuura, who seemed to be burning with fighting spirit and was seizing the time to practice. He turned around and closed the door. There were no other irrelevant people in the room now, including him, Yukino, and Garuda.

Xia Yan took the initiative to ask Garuda bluntly: "Garuda, Xue Noi has already explained everything about the Lord God to you."

"Well, I didn't expect you to encounter such a magical thing. No wonder you are so strong, senior!"

Wu Garuda said with a cheerful expression, but then her face gradually turned gloomy, "Senior, actually, when we were in the Nura group, Senior Yukino and I both took the time to try to spar with those monsters."

"We can still handle those small monsters with ordinary strength, but once they rise to those well-known cadre-level monsters, we... are no match at all!"

As he spoke, not only Garuda, but even Yukino's expression turned extremely ugly. "We may not be able to help you with this mission, Senior."

"In fact, it's not just you. Currently, Hachiman and Kaguya in the Hanakaiin main family are all trying their best to improve their strength."

Xia Yan didn't respond directly to Garuda and Yukino, but simply said matter-of-factly, "You should also focus on improving your own strength as much as possible. Before long, you might be able to be of use."

What Xia Yan said was not entirely comforting. Hanakaiin Yuura is an important card, and Nura Rikuo from Tokyo Yokai and the Nura team also have several cards that can be used.

But as mentioned before, both of these take time to grow.

But this doesn't mean that Xia Yan has no cards to use. Right now, at this moment, he has a few cards that are not so important and can be used immediately.

He is about to take action.

A deep light flashed in Xia Yan's eyes.

……

……

After a while, in the small meeting room of the head of Huakaiyuan family.

"It's really terrifying! Hagoromo Kitsune, Fushime Inari Shrine, Hashira-rikyu, Ryugen-ji Temple, Seiyoi-ji Temple, and Saihogan-ji Temple. In just 13 days, she easily removed the five seals!"

"Next comes the third seal of Lujin Temple. We should quickly strengthen the third seal. There is no other way!"

Xia Yan leaned against a corner of the room, looking at this group of so-called elders. Their reactions were completely opposite to those of a dozen days ago... Oh, that white-haired old man with glasses over there, isn't he the guy who said before that his son was responsible for the third seal and he couldn't send anyone to support him.

Now you know to emphasize that the branches should advance and retreat together?

This is really ironic.

Of course, Xia Yan didn't come here to see this group of clowns, but...

"Let's stop here. What we are discussing today is not the order in which people die."

Hanakaiin Akifusa, with her silver hair and red eyes, was a beautiful woman who, if it weren't for her aura, would have truly been a protagonist. She stepped forward, waving her karaoke sleeves and suggesting, "Passive defense is nothing but a slow death. As long as Yuyuko remains in the world, we will never escape her threat."

"You're right."

Hidetsugu, the bespectacled man in charge of the third seal, calmly pushed his glasses up and agreed, "Instead of arguing about these meaningless questions, why not just go for it and have a go at that fox!"

"Let's go together and kill that fox!"

His body was floating in the air, with a purple crystal ball suspended between his clasped hands. Hua Kaiyuan Pohu, who looked like a little brat, also smiled innocently.

"At the next sealed location, Rokuginji Temple, we will launch a counterattack against Yuyuko!"

Looking at the three young figures walking towards hope in the bright sunlight that shone through the open door of the conference room, Xia Yan hesitated for a few seconds, and finally clapped his hands in astonishment.

Xia Yanyuan calls this famous painting of live performance "The Crouching Dragon and Phoenix Trio in the Flower Courtyard (Sending) a Challenge (People) to a Battle (Head) with a Feathered Fox"!

These three people are all young generation Onmyojis, full of vigor, talent and drive, and naturally do not want to wait for death here.

To be honest, compared to those family elders who were so corrupt that it was disgusting and whose strength was worse than each other, the three of them were able to have such courage and seize the opportunity, and did not force themselves to intervene when those family elders initially did not take the threat of Yuyuko seriously.

Instead, he stepped forward only when the five seals were broken and all the families suffered casualties, and when the situation was critical, making it impossible for the family elders to object, and allowing him to seize the right to speak and decide. This was truly a rare wisdom.

Unfortunately, they also have the arrogance unique to Onmyoji who have experienced peace for a long time - no, among the three of you, the strongest one, Hanakaiin Akifusa, has only reached the fourth-level blue name, barely enough to reach the strength floor of Kyoto monster cadres.

The strongest Onmyoji can only fight and stalemate with the weakest monster cadres for a period of time, and can't even get close to Yuyuko, so what gives you the courage to challenge her?

Is that Liang Xru?

but……
