Su Ziyu's words made Abe no Seii's face reveal a hint of difficulty, as if there was so unspeakable secret. He waved his hand to signal others to retreat and used a Secret Technique to transmit his voice, saying, "To be honest."
"I don't know who he is either. Why does he transform into my likeness!"
It seed there was so hidden truth in this, but it was not suitable to press the other party now, so he could only clasp his hands and say, "I need to go back to the Netherworld for a while. I'll leave this matter to you all to handle."
Abe no Seii now managed the Yin Yang Bureau of the Mortal World, commanding many Yin Yang Masters in Kyoto, and leaving this to him was the best way to wrap it up.
Su Ziyu vaguely found the key to the pollution here, and now he had to return to the Ghost Capital.
There was a problem with Abe no Seii.
But the biggest issue was still within the Ghost Capital. The black-clad Seii said the Yama of the Netherworld had already disappeared. Su Ziyu had to go back to see the situation.
Inside the Ghost Capital.
After Su Ziyu passed through Rashomon, he imdiately saw the flas rising on the Vermilion Bird Dao. This ghostly land was extrely peculiar. Before he left, it was still intact, but now it was a wasteland when he returned. Those ghostly green flas were spreading along Vermilion Bird Dao, with hundreds of night patrols attempting to extinguish them.
However, although the flas were quickly extinguished, the Vermilion Bird Dao of the Ghost Capital was also reduced to ruins, similar to the situation in the Mortal World.
Will everything in the Mortal World affect here?
Upon returning, Su Ziyu headed straight for the Imperial City. As soon as he reached the vicinity, he heard a cat's ow. Then, the figure of the Nine Lives Cat jumped down from the rooftop.
"That was close!"
"Almost ran into that bad guy again!" the Nine Lives Cat said, looking at Su Ziyu with a fearful expression.
"Bad guy?" Su Ziyu asked, "Who are you referring to?"
"Who else! That guy in black clothes!" the Nine Lives Cat said with a frightened look, "I don't even know what kind of demon that guy is, always transforming into Abe no Seii."
"He caused trouble the last ti the Great Tengu was sealed!"
Upon hearing this, Su Ziyu couldn't help but pause and asked softly, "Sealing the Great Tengu? Can you tell what happened?"
"Sure! How could you not know about such a big event?" The Nine Lives Cat stroked its whiskers and said.
Very soon.
Su Ziyu learned from the other party what happened. The course of events was not complicated. Before he arrived here, there had been a Tengu causing trouble near Kyoto. Last year, Abe no Seii received an order from the Imperial Family of Fusang to perform a sealing ceremony for the Tengu at Nachi Mountain.
Of course, these were just things known to the mortal world.
From the Nine Lives Cat's mouth, Su Ziyu also learned that there seed to be soone behind the Tengu causing trouble and that Abe no Seii's sealing of the Great Tengu was not as successful as the rumors said.
In fact, he failed.
Abe no Seii only sealed an ordinary Tengu. The real Great Tengu remained at large, and it was this black-clad Seii appearing tonight who stopped him. It was unclear what kind of demon the black-clad Seii was, seemingly very fond of opposing Abe no Seii. According to the Nine Lives Cat, the black-clad Seii had appeared for nearly twenty years, and almost every ti he appeared, he opposed Abe no Seii.
"If you want to know more, you need to ask Aoandon," the Nine Lives Cat licked its paw and said softly, "Aoandon knows all the demons."
"But be careful; she is also a very terrifying Great Demon!"
Aoandon?
Su Ziyu nodded and said, "I got it. Thank you. I'll treat you to dried fish another day."
"ow! I'm not an ordinary cat demon! Do you think dried fish is enough for ?" the Nine Lives Cat glared at Su Ziyu and said seriously, "I want tuna."
The demand is quite high.
Su Ziyu nodded with a smile and said, "Okay. I'll treat you to tuna next ti."
"That's more like it." The Nine Lives Cat lazily scratched its arm and yawned, saying, "I'm leaving. Be careful when you encounter him."
With that, she turned into a shadow and disappeared into the night.
Outside the Imperial City.
Su Ziyu headed towards the Imperial Palace directly, but before he could enter, he was stopped by a Bone Woman he had seen a few tis.
"I want to see Lord Yama." Su Ziyu looked at the Bone Woman in front of him and said solemnly.
"Lord Yama is dealing with important matters and cannot see you," the Bone Woman said expressionlessly, staring at Su Ziyu in front of her, "The Judge asked you to continue guarding Vermilion Bird Dao tonight to prevent any demon disturbances."
Could what the black-clad Seii said be true? Has the Yama of the Netherworld already disappeared?
Could the source of the pollution be here?
Su Ziyu took a step forward and said solemnly, "What if I must see him?"
"How dare you?!" The Bone Woman was enraged upon hearing this and placed her hand on the hilt of her Bone Sword.
More than a dozen night patrols quickly surrounded them.
Su Ziyu just squinted at them, and the Samurai ghosts froze in place, too afraid to approach.
"Brazen!"
The Bone Woman, seeing Su Ziyu ignoring her and continuing into the Imperial City, shouted and swung her sword. However, before she could draw it, Su Ziyu moved.
Clang!
A clear clash of blades sounded.
Su Ziyu stood still, while the Bone Woman trembled all over, faint threads of electricity coursing through her body, making her slump weakly to the ground.
