Chapter 790: Chapter 627 Start_2

The previous Elder of Shadows derived his formidable strength entirely from his Transcendent physical condition. Yet now, when he once again spread the wings behind him, mottled gold spots unexpectedly appeared along the edges of his wings.

In his shriveled blood vessels, there was a small amount of fresh blood.

That was due to the transformation from Dragon Blood. Although the amount was minuscule, this bit of blood enabled the Elder of Shadows to elevate his combat power by a level.

Around his body lingered a faint blood mist.

That was the indirect influence of his own power on the external environment. Roger controlled the Elder of Shadows to clench his fists; the contraction of blood energy could suppress the enemy’s Bloodline Power and also had a certain degree of interference with Spiritual Power.

“What level does this count as?”

Honestly, Roger was also very curious about the Elder of Shadows’ actual combat performance. Not to mention, those Sword Masters who possessed strength without domain wouldn’t stand a chance against the Elder of Shadows.

Without lingering for too long, Roger silently returned to the great hall.

The combat power of the Nine-tailed Fox was also terrifyingly strong. Along with Roger himself and the Elder of Shadows, the three of them were nearly equivalent to three Sword Masters!

After leaving this place, Roger planned to find an opportunity to kill Yatagarasu Akiryu.

“Should I think of a way to lure him out?” A thought popped up in his mind.

…

Qinglu Mountain.

“Teacher.”

Red Sparrow looked at the beautiful and powerful woman before her, but her call did not elicit any response; Miyanori Chiyoko sat behind the table, her gaze on the window, lost in thought.

A flash of concern passed through her eyes, “It’s been more than ten days since they entered that place.”

Not only was there no news, but what worried Miyanori Chiyoko even more was that a few days ago, she and two other Peak Masters had quietly gone there to investigate.

They found the passage blocked, with extremely chaotic energy emanating from within. If anyone were indeed in there, the chaotic spatial forces would be enough to shred anyone to pieces.

At first, Miyanori Chiyoko barely maintained her composure, but as time passed without any word from Sword Master Funiu, she became increasingly irritable, unable to hide her emotions.

“Teacher.”

Red Sparrow raised her voice.

“There are people from other shrines below Qinglu Mountain coming to visit,” she said.

“I will not see them,” Miyanori Chiyoko replied brusquely.

“The visitors are from… the Tengu Shrine.”

“I said I will not see them, tell them to leave… wait, you said the Tengu Shrine?”

Her expression suddenly changed, “What are they doing here?”

“Where are they?” Miyanori Chiyoko stood up and strode outside.

“Right, who did they send here?”

Arriving near the summit’s grand temple, Miyanori Chiyoko experienced a palpitation upon seeing that tall figure from afar; she recognized the identity of that middle-aged man.

Ran’ei Divine Master!

He was not like the three of them, a Pseudo Sword Master, whose combat power was forcibly elevated through a Cursed Item, Ran’ei Divine Master — although not the top among the Onmyoji — was not to be underestimated.

“I thought it would be Sword Master Funiu who would come out.”

Ran’ei Divine Master frowned slightly.

“Sword Master is occupied with matters,” said Miyanori Chiyoko, lifting her head; “what, isn’t my status enough?”

“If she’s not enough, what about if you add the two of us?”

A deep voice resounded as Saito Tsuyoshi’s burly figure appeared.

The gaze of Ran’ei Divine Master fell on the two, his eyes flashing a barely perceptible hint of surprise.

“If it’s about the Spirit Skill, you needn’t bother speaking — we won’t agree,” Miyanori Chiyoko said sternly.

However, Ran’ei Divine Master shook his head.

“No, it has nothing to do with that matter. I’m here looking for someone,” he said.

“Roger, of Hankawa.”

“Someone said he’s on Qinglu Mountain,” Ran’ei Divine Master said languidly.

“Who?”

“I haven’t heard that name!” Miyanori Chiyoko shook her head coldly, “Well, now you know the answer, you can leave.”

For some reason, seeing the smirking expression on Ran’ei Divine Master’s face, Miyanori Chiyoko felt an uncontrollable surge of anger.

It was like the mockery of a cat with a mouse.

“Not here?” Ran’ei Divine Master smiled, his gaze passing over Miyanori Chiyoko to land on the figure standing behind.

“Some people were not saying that just a moment ago.”

Miyanori Chiyoko swiftly turned back, and then she saw Red Sparrow’s panicked face.

“Teacher, I…”

Red Sparrow looked bewildered, and Miyanori Chiyoko fixed her with a deep look, inhaling sharply, “I said there’s no one called Roger on Qinglu Mountain.”

Miyanori Chiyoko spoke sternly.

“Don’t be so quick to deny it,” Ran’ei Divine Master’s smile faded.

“He is from Hankawa, a student of Sword Master Cold Crow, and my favorite disciple, Aian San, died by his hand. Besides, he has killed many people from the shrine.”

“I haven’t left my own shrine to travel such distances in many years. As a Divine Master, there is only one reason for me to come down from the mountain this time.”

He looked at Miyanori Chiyoko with an assessing gaze.

“Do you understand what I mean?”

“If a Divine Master wishes to kill someone, that person must die.”

“Offending the Tengu Shrine for an irrelevant person is not the foolish decision that Sword Master Funiu would make.”

“Hand him over to me, and I will leave immediately.”

Determination that could not be questioned flickered in Ran’ei Divine Master’s eyes.

Miyanori Chiyoko took a deep breath, forcing herself to calm down.

“He’s not here, at least not now, but I assure you, if I see him, I’m willing to step in and personally hand him over to you!”

Miyanori Chiyoko didn’t have a good impression of Roger to begin with, and considering the stance of a top shrine, she naturally knew what choice to make.

Her previous refusal wasn’t because she wanted to protect Roger, but because she knew that Roger went to that place with Sword Master Funiu.

If she admitted it willingly, but then couldn’t produce the person afterward, the trouble would probably be even greater.

But now, given Miyanori Chiyoko’s temperament, to say such words was already a significant concession. What she didn’t expect was that Ran’ei Divine Master would refuse her offer without hesitation.

“I should trust you.”

“But like I said, I need to see him now.”

“Immediately!”

“What do you take me for?!” Anger flared up in Miyanori Chiyoko as her aura burst forth fiercely.

“This is Qinglu Mountain.”

“Go back where you came from!” Saito Tsuyoshi’s deep voice came through as he and Ishida Minami stepped forward to confront Ran’ei Divine Master.

The combined pressures of the three immediately suppressed Ran’ei Divine Master completely.

“Are you trying to drive me away?”

“I said this is Qinglu Mountain, and even a Divine Master must abide by our rules here!” Miyanori Chiyoko replied coldly.

Ran’ei Divine Master laughed as if he wasn’t bothered, “And what if I refuse? What are you going to do? Kill me and start a war with Tengu Shrine?”

“You won’t die, but we will throw you off the top of the mountain.”

Miyanori Chiyoko clenched her fists.

Just then, Ran’ei Divine Master suddenly laughed, “Looks like the news is true. A major problem really has arisen on Qinglu Mountain.”

“Sword Master Funiu is not here, and you three…”

“Now I’m at ease.”

His words made no logical connection, but Miyanori Chiyoko was profoundly shocked because she knew everything Ran’ei Divine Master said was true.

At the moment her mind wavered, a familiar voice rang in her ear, “Surprised, my teacher?”

“It was I who told them the news…”

“The aura of Qinglu Mountain is repulsive; it’s time to destroy this ugly place.”

Without looking back, Miyanori Chiyoko could easily identify the voice’s owner.

“Oh, and one more thing.”

With a cheery tone, Red Sparrow said, “The defense Onmyoji Array of Qinglu Mountain has been destroyed by me, three days ago, when you were feeling down and asked me to help you maintain the Array.”

“I can only say it’s fate.”

Overcome with fury, Miyanori Chiyoko trembled all over, but at that moment, she had no intention of troubling Red Sparrow because, before her, two figures had appeared beside Ran’ei Divine Master, seemingly out of nowhere.

That was the aura of other Divine Masters.

Simultaneously, inside the palace, Uma opened her animated eyes.

“It’s time to begin!”
