Chapter 537: The Great Demon Escapes
Yuzao's explanation in front of Lu Xiao made Lu Xiao connect all the clues, no wonder Mo Du would hide in Japan, it turned out that he had already made a deal with the local land snake.
"Mordo promised to help Abe Shunkichi seize the throne of the president of the Onmyoji Association, and Abe Shunkichi reciprocated for assisting Mordo in capturing Kama Taj?"
"Yes."
Yuzao nodded and said, "According to Shun Ji himself, if he can help Mo Du win the position of Supreme Mage, the status of the Onmyoji Association, which provides him with important help, will naturally rise. ”
Lu Xiao and Yongzhen glanced at each other, and their expressions became a little weird.
"Just because the Onmyoji Association, which has undergone an internal purge, wants to overthrow Kama Taj? Who gave him courage? ”
Although most of Kama Taj's mystics are useless in the face of a cosmic overlord of Dormammu's level, in the mysterious realm of Earth, Kama Taj's leadership position is unshakable at all.
The existence of the Three Sanctuaries laid the foundation of Kama Taj in the first place, and the corresponding large number of mystics filled the branches and leaves of the bare trunks.
Lu Xiao has not dealt directly with the Onmyoji Association, but there are also some secret magicians from Japan in Kama Taj, and they are very familiar with the current situation of Onmyoji in their country.
It was not that Lu Xiao deliberately belittled Japan, but the poor resources of this small island nation alone were not enough to raise a pivotal occult organization.
If the Onmyoji Association can look to the West as resolutely as the Japanese government and maintain an attitude of openness to the outside world, it may be able to occupy a place in an increasingly international world.
Retreat only leads to more and more self-containment, and Kama Taj's Japanese occultists always look like they hate iron but not steel when they talk about their own onmyoji.
According to their evaluation, the entire Japanese Onmyoji combined could not even break through the defenses of the Hong Kong Temple.
According to the information provided by Tamakima, Mordo has indeed gained demonic power, and his strength has increased by leaps and bounds.
But it is impossible for him alone to lead a group of pig teammates, and if Mo Du has no other backhand, Lu Xiao's vision evaluation of him will further decline.
'Hinder, Mephisto? ’
Thinking of the big demon who likes to hide behind his back and watch the show, Lu Xiao has a headache.
He is not afraid of a head-on fight, and with a number of Infinity Stones in his hand, it should not be a problem to defeat Mephisto, who has left the home field of Hell, let alone Mordo.
What worries him most is the contract between Mordo and Mephisto.
I hope Mordo is still sane and doesn't sign the worst kind of contract." ’
……
The information provided by Yuzao was very useful, and under the expectant gaze of this peerless beauty, Lu Xiao nodded to Yongzhen.
"Take her, so you can get a Shikigami with great potential."
The legendary Tamamo had nine tails in his heyday and was able to fight an army of more than 100,000 people on his own.
In the description of Tamamo's gnashing of teeth, Lu Xiao and Yongzhen learned about the cause and effect of her being sealed here.
At the end of the Heian period, when Tamamo was active, Harumi Abe, who was known as Japan's first onmyoji, had long since passed away.
However, the soul of Harumi with mana has not completely dissipated, and in order to protect the future of the Abe family, he lives in a dormant state in the depths of the soul of each generation of family heirs.
Once encountering a problem that the current head of the family cannot solve, Qingming's soul will be awakened by the stress and temporarily manipulate the body of the offspring to solve the problem.
Tamamo did not hide her fox behavior when she was "young", and she was not as stable as she is now.
The playful Tamamo caused a mess in the court of Emperor Toba, and even Emperor Toba himself suffered from a strange illness because of the demonic energy raging in the palace.
Abe Harumi's 5th generation grandson Abe Taiqin was the court onmyoji at that time, and among the many descendants of Harumi, Taiqin can be regarded as the most outstanding one.
He exposed the true face of Tamamo and expelled Tamamo from the court with his powerful yin-yang skills.
If it's just like this, Tamamo won't hate Abe Harumi to the core.
After the Battle of Nasuno, Tamamo's former strength was greatly damaged, and since then she has been incognito and mixed into folk life, and she doesn't plan to harm the world anymore, she just wants to live a peaceful life.
But the Onmyoji of the Abe clan still doesn't intend to let her go.
On the eve of the Battle of Sekigahara, Tamamomae, who lived in Edo Castle with a hidden identity, was discovered by the Onmyoji of the Abe family.
At that time, Tamamo's strength was not as good as before, and her nine-tails were cut off in the Battle of Nasuno, and after a hundred years of rebuilding, she barely recovered to the three-tails.
Even so, Onmyoji, who had already begun to decline at that time, was no match for her.
Just as Tamamo was about to win, the head of the Abe family, who was facing a desperate situation, unexpectedly awakened Harumi's sleeping soul.
Harumi, who had awakened for a short time, personally suppressed Tamamo and sealed her at the Sakanda Shrine built by Toyotomi Hideyoshi with the help of the Onmyoji Association.
For more than 400 years, Tamamae has been confined to the shrine and cannot leave.
Her temper has been gradually smoothed out, and she has become the suave and elegant lady posture she is now, but Tamamo has never given up the idea of escaping the shrine.
Abe Shunkichi thought that no one knew about his meeting with Mordo, but at that time, the location of the secret conversation between the two was next to this remote well, and he hid in front of Tamamo, who was studying in the well, and heard the conversation between the two clearly.
The three-tailed Tamamo did not have the shocking strength of the Nine-Tails period before, but after years of stealing and cultivating, she learned a lot of onmyoji's spells, and her application of one of the "techniques" was much stronger than the Nine-Tails period, which only knew how to suppress people with force.
If Fenrir is a Shikigami who specializes in physical attacks, then Tamamo is a well-rounded person who is biased towards spell attacks.
If you want Tamamo to be free again, you must first break the earthbound seal set by Harumi.
After more than 400 years of watching, Tamamo has already found the core location of the seal.
"Right at our feet."
Yuzao squatted gracefully on his knees, gently brushing the ground with his white and tender jade hands, and the pentagram pattern used by the onmyoji gradually appeared in front of Lu Xiao and Yongzhen.
"I've tried many ways to break the seal, but this seal is aimed at me, and all the methods of breaking it won't work."
"Boom!"
Lu Xiao ejected the Hidden Blade with the demon-breaking effect and looked up at Yuzao: "Once the seal is broken, the resulting abnormality will be immediately noticed by the Onmyoji." ”
"You clean up this place first, sign a contract with Yongzhen as soon as the seal is broken, and I will open the portal at the same time and leave the shrine before a large number of onmyoji arrive."
More than 400 years of captivity is finally coming to an end, and Tamamo held back his excitement and cast a spell to gather a large number of books on the shelves, and Yongzhen temporarily received all the ancient books into the demon refining pot for Tamamo.
Confirming that everything was ready, Lu Xiao stabbed his Hidden Blade into the five-pointed star seal on the ground.
"Smack~"
A crisp cracking sound sounded, and the dark blue pentagram pattern cracked through it, and the earth binding seal that bound Tamamo in front of it was finally lifted.
Lu Xiao raised his hand to open the portal to Minato's new home, and Yongzhen and Yuzao also cooperated with each other to sign a contract.
"Let's go!"
After sending the two of them into the portal, Lu Xiao activated the power of the Reality Gem, and the scene in the secret space in front of Yuzao immediately changed.
From the other people's point of view, this was the bottom of an ordinary well, and they couldn't see the chain rune array that Lu Xiao deliberately set up on the four walls and underground.
When a feminine-looking young onmyoji arrived with a large number of subordinates, Lu Xiao and the three of them had already left the scene.
The feminine young man squatted down to inspect the broken earth bind seal, and scolded in an anxious low voice: "Damn! actually let the big demon who was sealed by the ancestor Qingming himself escape, who did it?! ”
The onmyoji who was in charge of persuading Lu Xiao and Yongzhen to retire opened his mouth, but he finally chose to remain silent for fear that he would be implicated.
'Lord Shunji, please forgive me. ’
