"Hagoromo Gitsune's soul has truly been reincarnated from hell?"
"Hehehehe! Lord Tengu, I don't joke around like that."
The monster who spoke first lowered his head and chuckled wickedly.
Boom——
In an instant.
Thunder rumbled and lightning flashed.
There was a little old man with a huge head, groveling and rubbing his hands together.
And a huge pupil on its head kept scanning its surroundings:
"Lord Hagoromo Gitsune has indeed returned, but he's encountered some trouble."
"She was bewitched by a human named Aoba and lost her original memories."
"Completely forgetting the pride of once being the lord of demons and monsters, he has humbled himself before humans and even formed a monster organization in the name of a hundred demons for that human!"
"Isn't this a betrayal of you all?"
The tengu crossed his arms over his chest.
His face remained calm. As a former general under Hagoromo Gitsune, he would not readily believe this guy's one-sided story.
His gaze shifted to the others.
What are your thoughts?
"Hehehe~ Now it's a human-dominated society, monsters have long been buried in the dust, and the idea of resurrection is just wishful thinking."
“That’s right! Even someone as powerful as Lord Seimei couldn’t escape death, so how could Hagoromo Gitsune, who is just a reincarnated demon, possibly escape it?”
"Besides, even if we wanted to, that's District 20!"
"The prosecutor's office also houses numerous Onmyoji, including the Kagein family, not to mention other troublesome individuals..."
"The Hero Association, the Sekirei Squad, and the Onmyoji Clan—none of these three are easy to deal with. They think they can make us risk our lives just by talking..."
Tengu looked down at the old man, "These things aren't enough, Jizo!"
"Hahaha, how could I possibly deceive you all?" Ksitigarbha bowed his head, appearing exceptionally sincere and humble.
"Actually, after finding Lord Hagoromo Gitsune, I also contacted other yokai organizations in the vicinity."
"in..."
"There's something I'm sure you'll all be interested in."
He rubbed his hands together again, but the pupil on his head gleamed with an unusually cunning light.
At this moment!
Lightning flashed and thunder roared simultaneously!
Amidst the puzzled gazes of all the monsters, he pulled out a peculiar fragment:
"The Shikon Jewel..."
"You all should be interested in this, right?"
Chapter 142 The All-Purpose Experience Pack! The Shikon Jewel Fragment of Jizo!
The Shikon Jewel?!
That thing was actually real?
As powerful yokai that have existed for at least a hundred years, they are no strangers to the legend of the Shikon Jewel.
During that period, many yokai grew up listening to the legend of the Shikon Jewel.
Rumors about the Shikon Jewel being able to grant any wish were rampant at the time!
Countless demons have devoted their lives to searching for the Shikon Jewel.
After a series of chaotic battles between Onmyoji and Yokai, Abe no Seimei appeared and briefly brought an end to the crisis.
From then on, the legend of the Shikon Jewel disappeared completely.
"Ha! Dizang, do you really think we're fools?!"
One of the dark figures straightened up, its five- or six-meter-long neck instantly wrapping around behind the hider, its tongue flicking menacingly.
"The Shikon Jewel is ultimately just a legend; we don't even know if it's real or not..."
"Besides, you're using the Hyakumonogatari Group's name..." "San-Liu-Qi..." "Who here doesn't know that the Hyakumonogatari Group was already defunct during the Edo period..."
"What exactly are you trying to achieve by deceiving us?!"
Even if the Shikon Jewel shards are real, they no longer want to get involved in this mess!
For those who had established themselves in old Kyoto, the 20th ward was a veritable den of dragons and tigers.
Furthermore.
They've had a good life in old Kyoto all these years, and they have no interest in finding themselves a new commander-in-chief.
"Hehehe, Lord Viper, you're overthinking it." The old man-like figure of the Dizang became even more humble.
The single eye on its head also smiled appropriately.
"I am just an old man who can't even hold a knife properly, so how could I possibly threaten the safety of you gentlemen?"
"If Lord Viper does not believe me, you are welcome to take this Shikon Jewel and study it at your leisure."
As he spoke, Dizang handed the fluorescent fragment to the viper.
The faint fluctuations emanating from it made the viper's heart leap even more.
It seems... it really is the Shikon Jewel!
The fluctuations were all-pervasive, as if they instantly perceived the viper's thoughts.
The viper's demonic power surged dramatically simply from peeking at it!
Boom——!
A torrential downpour filled the night sky, accompanied by deafening thunder!
A towering serpent, several meters tall, roared to the sky on the edge of the city, its immense demonic power blasting out an endless expanse of sky amidst the dim rain!
"Hahahaha~"
"Did you all see that?"
Dizang looked at the viper's enormous body and burst into laughter.
"I would never lie."
"The Shikon Jewel shards are real, and the reincarnation of Lady Hagoromo Gitsune is also real."
"If we can find Lady Hagoromo Gitsune, we can restore the glory of our former days when all demons roamed freely!!!"
The surge in demonic power was instantaneous.
But it was only for a moment, yet it was enough to greatly increase the viper's strength!
The viper, now fully recovered, couldn't hide the look of surprise on its face, its eyes burning as it stared intently at the fragment in its hand.
Not fake!
Moreover, even a mere fragment can cause its power to surge; if it were the complete Shikon Jewel...
At this moment, Viper's ambition swelled to an extreme!
The fear within my body expanded infinitely.
A yokai's strength and fear are positively correlated; when a yokai becomes extremely arrogant, its fear will increase.
The demonic power naturally expanded!
The viper's eyes burned with fervor, and naturally, the other monsters were not spared either.
Even though he had never seen the Shikon Jewel, the viper's surging demonic power was undeniable.
If they could get their hands on that thing too...
Perhaps the roles of yokai and humans in old Kyoto will be rewritten!
During the Edo period, Hagoromo Gitsune reigned supreme, and now I might as well create a golden age of a hundred demons under the jurisdiction of the Prosecutor's Office!
Faced with the covetousness of the surrounding demons, Jizo, the instigator, curled his lips slightly.
Amidst the impatient gazes of the demons, he suddenly chuckled:
"Gentlemen, I do indeed know the whereabouts of the two Shikon Jewel fragments."
"Say it!"
"Hehe~ But about the thing you promised this old man..."
The bait has been laid out; naturally, fish need to take the bait.
"If you produce the fragments, this matter is negotiable."
“That’s right! Although Hagoromo Gitsune was our Supreme Commander during the Edo period, she is still the Supreme Commander, and we will not stand by and watch her die.”
"This..." Ao Dizang hesitated for a moment, then sighed deeply, "Now that things have come to this, I can only trust you all."
"The other two fragments, one is near Hushan Park in the 20th district."
"And the other one..." (Read thrilling novels at Feilu Novel Network!)
He remained silent for a long time before slowly speaking:
"To be honest, it is the one in whom Lord Hagoromo Gitsune was reincarnated."
"However, you need not worry. The reincarnated Lady Hagoromo Gitsune has not fully awakened yet, and the fragments on her will not cause a surge in her demonic power."
This statement came out.
This put the monsters at ease.
"We should act swiftly; we are still uneasy about having the fragments outside."
