Chapter 828: The Annihilated Onmyoji
Yakumo Yukari crawled out from a Gap, looking at the two people lying on the ground with a helpless expression.
"You two, you really don't let me worry, do you!"
"Yakumo Yukari, for his sake, I will help you with this favor," Kazami Yuuka said.
"Is that so? That is truly wonderful!" Hearing Kazami Yuuka's words, Yakumo Yukari could not help but reveal a trace of joy on her face.
For Yakumo Yukari's plan, the more high-end combat power that joined her camp, the greater the success rate of her plan would be. And Kazami Yuuka was a top-tier powerhouse in this world; with her joining, her plan would inevitably go much more smoothly.
Just at this moment, Lingyun moved his hand, and an invisible Array suddenly enveloped the three people here. Seeing Lingyun's appearance, Yakumo Yukari became vigilant all at once. It was clear that Lingyun had sensed that there were others here.
"Come out, Yagokoro Eirin. I have already set up a Shielding Array; the people in the Moon Capital will not sense your aura," Lingyun said.
"Lunar Sage, Yagokoro Eirin?" Hearing Lingyun's words, Yakumo Yukari's eyes could not help but narrow.
The Moon Capital was an important link in her future plans. Now that the matter with Kazami Yuuka was finished, she could also find Yagokoro Eirin to talk. As far as she knew, that Princess Houraisan Kaguya had a rather awkward status in the Moon Capital. However, this Sage valued Kaguya very much, even going so far as to secretly run to the surface to protect this Princess when Kaguya was exiled. With this prerequisite, perhaps there was room for cooperation between the two.
Hearing Lingyun's words, Yagokoro Eirin also walked out from the Pot World. The gaze she directed at Lingyun held a bit more gravity. From the battle just now, she had already understood the strength of this Flower Tyrant; if they were to clash head-on, she really might not necessarily win.
The moment Yagokoro Eirin appeared, Kazami Yuuka's gaze also locked onto her. Her intuition told her that this was a powerhouse, a powerhouse not inferior to herself.
"Heh, to think that powerhouses who were once hard to come by have appeared two in a row in such a short time!" A fighting spirit seemed to be rising in Kazami Yuuka's eyes again.
"It was Kaguya who sent you, right?" Lingyun asked.
Yagokoro Eirin hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "That's right, it was the Princess who sent me."
"It seems Kaguya still doesn't trust me," Lingyun said with a smile on his face. "Then you can rest assured and go back to report to Kaguya now; it's just that I might not be able to go back for now, and it wouldn't be good for Kaguya to see me like this."
"I understand," Yagokoro Eirin nodded, then placed the several vials of medicine in her hand into Lingyun's hand. "These medicines can speed up your recovery from your injuries."
After Yagokoro Eirin left, Lingyun directly put away the medicine in his hand, not intending to consume it at all.
"Eh, why aren't you using this medicine?" Yakumo Yukari asked with some confusion.
"If you want it, you can try it!" Lingyun had an inexplicable smile on his face as he handed the medicine in his hand toward Yakumo Yukari.
Just as Yakumo Yukari was about to reach out to take the medicine, she felt a terrifying malice descend upon her. She could be certain that this malice definitely did not come from Lingyun, so the source of the malice must be the medicine in Lingyun's hand. A medicine capable of emitting such malice was clearly not a kind thing, and Yakumo Yukari quickly withdrew her hand.
"Forget it, these things were left for you specifically by that Sage, and I'm not injured right now, so I don't need this thing."
Watching Yakumo Yukari admit defeat, Lingyun smiled, then stored the medicine into the Cloud Realm and tossed it to Ruoxi to analyze. Yagokoro Eirin's medicine had unquestionable effects, but its side effects were also formidable, even more powerful than the medicinal effect itself. There was even a rumor that for Yagokoro Eirin's medicine, the side effects were the true medicinal effect, and the so-called medicinal effect was nothing but a side effect. Letting Ruoxi analyze it, perhaps she could figure something out.
"It seems some ill-intentioned guests are approaching in this direction!" After removing the Array, Lingyun's gaze suddenly looked toward the distance.
"Ill-intentioned guests? Tsk, are those annoying guys who dream all day of subjugating Great Youkai to gain fame and profit again?" Yakumo Yukari frowned, clearly feeling disdain for those people. "They really are annoying enough!"
"Are they trying to take advantage of me while I'm injured? They really are ignorant of death!" A trace of tyrannical killing intent flashed in Kazami Yuuka's eyes.
"The most important thing for you right now is to heal the injuries on your body first! As for those so-called guests, let me go entertain them!" Yakumo Yukari stood up and said. "Watching your battle just now has also stirred up the fighting spirit in my heart; I need a good place to vent right now!"
Kazami Yuuka nodded, clearly agreeing with Yakumo Yukari's idea. Being warlike was the nature of Youkai; having watched an intense battle from start to finish, Yakumo Yukari had long since had the warlike blood in her body stirred up, and now that there were enemies delivering themselves to her door, it was naturally a channel for her to vent.
Heian-kyo, Kamo no Tadayuki's residence.
Kamo no Tadayuki was playing chess with his son Kamo no Yasunori; black and white pieces were intertwined on the board, caught in a struggle. Suddenly, Kamo no Yasunori saw a flaw in Kamo no Tadayuki's chess path, placed a piece down, and instantly forced Kamo no Tadayuki's black pieces into a dead end.
"Father, it seems I have won this game!" Kamo no Yasunori's face carried a trace of a youth's pride.
"Yasunori, I should have told you long ago that when faced with huge benefits, one must keep a cool head, otherwise one might encounter huge disasters; this chess game is the same. You think you saw my weakness and can win against me, but you ignored the danger within it, just like this."
Kamo no Tadayuki had a faint smile on his face as he gently placed a piece down. After the piece was placed, the situation on the board reversed again; the two sides swapped offense and defense, and Kamo no Yasunori's pieces instantly fell into a dead trap, with no room for maneuver.
"Father's chess skills are superb; Yasunori has learned a lesson." Kamo no Yasunori chewed over his father's words carefully, always feeling that he was implying something.
"Master, something has happened!" Just at this moment, Abe no Seimei walked into the room with an ugly expression.
"Looking at you like this, could it be that some major event has occurred?" Kamo no Tadayuki asked.
"That's right, the Onmyoji who went to subjugate the Flower Tyrant have been completely wiped out! The one who did it was that Sage!" Abe no Seimei said.
"I know. When they went, I already had this psychological preparation in my heart." Although he had long been prepared, Kamo no Tadayuki's expression was still very ugly. "Now that we have lost many Onmyoji, the defensive strength in Heian-kyo will inevitably decline, and people's hearts will become restless. Seimei, you take people to guard the safety of Heian-kyo first; leave the other matters to me!"
"Yes, Master!" Abe no Seimei also knew the situation was severe and left in a hurry.
"Did you see? This is the price of being unable to hold onto one's original heart in the face of huge benefits; not only did they lose their own lives, but they also left us with a huge mess!" Kamo no Tadayuki said to Kamo no Yasunori behind him, then also left in a hurry.
Watching his father's back, Kamo no Yasunori could not help but fall into deep thought.
