Chapter 812: Forcefully Protective of One's Own

After Lingyun glanced at Kaguya and the other person, he temporarily shifted his attention to the three people in front of him.

The young man pinned down by the two Onmyoji let out a roar, trying to push the people on top of him away with force. However, Lingyun had used a clever technique when he blasted the two Onmyoji away, which caused the young man to lose all his strength completely once the Onmyoji were slammed onto him; he couldn't even manage to push them off.

"You two damn bastards, get off me already!" Unable to move, the man vented all his anger on the Onmyoji pinning him down.

The two Onmyoji had grievances they couldn't voice; Lingyun's invisible attack was no joke. Although it wasn't ruthless enough to completely cripple them, it had completely dissolved all the Cursed Power in their bodies. If they wanted to cultivate in the future, they would have to start from scratch.

At this moment, they couldn't help but feel some resentment toward their young master for provoking such a terrifying existence. Even their Master didn't have the ability to dissolve their Cursed Power so quietly. Furthermore, the person before them looked so young; perhaps he was some powerful expert skilled in maintaining a youthful appearance.

Just as the young man was wailing, a voice full of vigor came over.

"What are you all doing here! This is Heian-kyo, not a place where you can just resort to violence as you please!"

Hearing this voice, the young man was overjoyed and hurriedly shouted, "Master Kamo, save me! Someone here is trying to kill me!"

Lingyun's gaze also turned toward the direction the voice came from. The moment this voice appeared, Lingyun felt a powerful Cursed Power approaching. The intensity of this Cursed Power was in no way inferior to a Great Youkai. In this era, there should be very few people capable of reaching such a level of strength.

Within Lingyun's sight, a middle-aged man dressed in white Hunting Garb, holding a Bat Fan in his hand, slowly walked out from the crowd.

Lingyun took a slight step back, and an invisible aura radiated from his body, enveloping Kaguya so that the newcomer could not see through her true identity.

Seeing the young man pinned by the two Onmyoji, the middle-aged man sighed lightly and flicked the Bat Fan in his hand, lifting the two off the man. Seeing the middle-aged man appear, the young man's guards, who had been hiding on the side, hurriedly stepped forward to help him up.

"Trash, a bunch of trash!" The young man, face full of anger, slapped one of the guards across the face.

The guard's face tilted, and a trickle of blood flowed from the corner of his mouth. Yet, he didn't even dare to wipe it, merely lowering his head.

The man tidied up his disheveled appearance, bowed to the middle-aged man, and then pointed angrily in Lingyun's direction: "Master Kamo, just now this man tried to kill me for no reason. Someone who dares to act recklessly in Heian-kyo is clearly no good sort; he might even be a Youkai in disguise. I ask that you take action and capture him!"

Lingyun glanced at the man indifferently, but this single look made the man feel an incomparable, terrifying pressure, as if he were in a Shura hell, amidst a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Instantly, the man let out a miserable shriek, his body collapsing limply to the ground, and one could faintly see a wet stain seeping from his lower body.

"Sir, don't you think this is going too far?" Seeing the young man collapsed on the ground, Kamo no Tadayuki couldn't help but frown.

"Too far? You have clearly seen the ins and outs of this matter from within the crowd, haven't you? After knowing the whole story, do you still think I am going too far?" Lingyun said indifferently.

"But the influence of this young man's family is not to be trifled with!" Kamo no Tadayuki said with a frown, while quietly moving away from the person at his feet to avoid being stained by the filth beneath him.

"His family's influence is not to be trifled with, but am I someone to be trifled with?"

Lingyun smiled coldly, and a terrifying energy fluctuation spread from his body as he activated the Four Symbols Dragon Sword Art. With a heaven-shaking dragon roar, four phantom images of divine dragons appeared around Lingyun simultaneously. It seemed that because the World Consciousness of this world was a Dragon God, the dragon phantom images condensed by the Dragon Sword Technique possessed extraordinary power; the faint dragon might made the hair on Kamo no Tadayuki's body stand on end.

"I have one shortcoming, and that is that I am rather protective of my own. This guy dared to lay a hand on my student, so he must pay the price. If that guy's family really wants to come knocking, I don't mind having a proper exchange with them. After all, in this world, might makes right, doesn't it?" Looking at Kamo no Tadayuki, who had sweat on his forehead, Lingyun said indifferently.

"Big Sister Kaguya, who is that lord?" Looking at Lingyun surrounded by the dragon phantom images, Fujiwara no Mokou's eyes sparkled with admiration.

"Him? He is my teacher!" Kaguya said, squinting her eyes.

"A teacher? Big Sister Kaguya, your teacher is really good to you!" Fujiwara no Mokou looked at Lingyun, who was displaying his full aura, her tone filled with envy.

"Well, my teacher is, of course, good to me." Kaguya said with a giggle. "By the way, Mokou, would you like to have a teacher like this too?"

"Have a teacher like this?" A glimmer of longing flashed in Fujiwara no Mokou's eyes, but she quickly shook her head. "But, it's not that easy to find such a teacher."

"Hee hee, as long as you have the thought, Mokou-chan." Kaguya's eyes rolled around, not knowing what kind of mischievous idea she was cooking up.

Watching the overbearing Lingyun, Kamo no Tadayuki couldn't help but reveal a bitter smile. Although he didn't know Lingyun's background, that didn't prevent him from gauging Lingyun's strength from the dragon phantom images he had summoned. Each of these four dragon phantom images possessed the strength of a Great Youkai; based on this alone, Lingyun was not someone an ordinary family could afford to provoke.

"This person is a member of the Imperial Family!" Kamo no Tadayuki mentioned.

"The Imperial Family? So what?" Lingyun said indifferently. "Do you think the Imperial Family would move against me because of someone like this?"

"This person is actually quite highly regarded within the Imperial Family."

"Is that so?" Lingyun smiled faintly.

Behind Lingyun, three faint rays of light appeared: one red, one blue, and one gold. As these three rays appeared, cold sweat instantly broke out on Kamo no Tadayuki. Although he didn't know what was contained within these three rays of light, he was certain that the things hidden within them were absolutely terrifying existences.

"Regarding this matter, I will discuss it with the Imperial Family." Kamo no Tadayuki now realized that the terrifying extent of the youth before him likely far exceeded his imagination.

"Well, that would be for the best. I hope you can help me negotiate a good result; otherwise, I might have to pay a visit to the Imperial Palace!" The divine dragon phantoms around Lingyun dissipated, and the terrifying aura on his body vanished in an instant, returning him to the appearance of an ordinary youth.

"Teacher, is the matter resolved?" Kaguya asked, blinking her large eyes.

"Mm, it's resolved. Let's continue our stroll." Lingyun reached out and ruffled Kaguya's hair, saying with a smile.
