Chapter 202 Let me enjoy this unilaterally for a moment.
The sudden earthquake lasted for less than two seconds. Although many people felt the force from the earth, since nothing happened, the elementary school students were happy and pretended nothing had occurred.
The reliable adult, Shizuka Hiratsuka, did contact the local earthquake monitoring agency, but the answer she received was still that no epicenter had been detected.
Hiratsuka Shizuka: "That's strange... Well, let's just forget about it then."
Twenty minutes ago—
Uchiha Ryo and Yanyun-chan, who had just climbed the mountain, quickly ran off. By their footsteps and the scent left by the monster student, the two of them soon found each other.
but.....
"Kid, where did all of you go? How come there are only two left?"
The human brat with a demonic aura was startled by the sudden appearance of Uchiha Rin, but he still stood protectively in front of the demon girl.
"Young Master Lu Sheng, it's too dangerous here, let me do it..."
Uchiha Ryo coughed lightly. "Don't be impulsive. I mean no harm. But you two, where are all those ordinary people?"
"An ordinary person?" Nura Rikuo caught the key word in Uchiha Ryo's words.
"Senior, we've gotten separated from the others. They might be in danger!"
As Uchiha Ryo approached with the cat, the monster girl warily ran in front of the boy, as if she would attack if Uchiha Ryo dared to take another step forward.
"Don't be nervous, little monster. Aren't you going to introduce yourselves? And what's your purpose in mingling with human society?"
Nura Rikuo took a deep breath; as expected, the other party had seen through his and Hyori's true identities.
"My name is Nura Rikuo, and this is Oikawa Hyoure. Are you an Onmyoji like Kakeruin-san?"
Uchiha Ryo looked at Nura Rikuo with great interest. "Nura? What's your relationship with Nura Rihan?"
Huh? Nura Rikuo was taken aback for a moment, but still managed to say, "It's my father."
"I see," Uchiha Ryo laughed. "Even the heavens are on my side!" He was planning to visit the Nura Clan, the yokai leaders in the Tokyo area, and the Onmyoji clan, the Kakeruin clan, this summer.
To my surprise, we've run into the younger generation of two opposing forces!
Uchiha Ryo smiled. "So you're the young master of the Nura Clan. How about we make a deal? I'll help you rescue your friends, and then you'll take me to your home."
Bingli stopped pretending and transformed into her snow woman form. "Young Master Lu Sheng, their origins are unknown. We cannot trust them!"
Nura Rikuo: "But we've been searching for a while now and haven't found them at all! We have no choice but to ask this senior for help."
Uchiha Ryo glanced around. "Hmm, strange energy fluctuations. It must be the power of you demons. It seems to be able to affect the five senses of living beings. That's probably why you're trapped here."
Nura Rikuo looked surprised. "You... figured it out?! Uh, we've already walked this path three times, and even though we've only turned twice, we've still ended up back at the starting point."
"It's just a simple illusion, but the master who set it up is very clever, which is why he managed to fool even you monsters."
Uchiha Ryo was still wearing black contact lenses, and his eyes beneath them had transformed into three-tomoe eyes.
"Let's go and see what kind of monster is causing trouble on the mountain. We'll be staying here for three more days, so it's best to eliminate the danger to prevent any children from getting hurt."
Uchiha Ryo stepped forward, while Yanyun-chan, who was following behind, stopped and curiously looked at Bingli.
"A snow woman? With you around in the summer, we wouldn't need air conditioning at all!"
"Huh? A cat demon."
Yanyun-chan: "I'm not a cat demon! I'm a noble ninja cat, and a powerful tailed beast that has obtained the power of the Two-Tails."
Oikawa Hyouri curiously poked Yanyun-chan, "Isn't it just a two-tailed cat demon? I've seen plenty of those."
Yanyun-chan was too lazy to argue with this seemingly silly Yuki-onna. If there were any monsters later, she would definitely make the first move and show that little monster the power of the Tailed Beasts!
Rikuo Nura and Hyori Oikawa quickly caught up with Ryo Uchiha, and they found that the surrounding environment was no longer repeating itself in circles. Instead, they finally emerged from the dense forest and arrived at the dilapidated temple.
In front of the temple, the female Onmyoji stood there.
"It's good that you're all alright. And this gentleman is...."
Just as Uchiha Ryo was about to step forward to speak, Nura Rikuo whispered, "Kakaiin-san doesn't know our identities, so please don't tell her."
Uchiha Ryo nodded. "I went up the mountain to gather some firewood, and then I saw that the two of them were lost. After that, they asked me to help them find you."
Kasakain Yura turned her head. "All of you, step back! There's something strange about this place. Not only has the signal disappeared completely, but even the special communication talisman my family gave me is no longer working... And no matter which way you go, you can't get out of the area within a kilometer radius of the temple!"
No matter which way you go, you'll eventually come back here...
Nura Rikuo: "Well, now we can only go inside the ruined temple and take a look."
Yura Hanakain gave a soft "hmm," then blocked everyone behind her, wanting to go forward alone.
"Ordinary people, step aside. I'm enough on my own!"
Seeing that Uchiha Ryo also wanted to come over, Kakeruin Yura frowned.
Uchiha Ryo: "Please don't worry, in some ways I'm just like you, dealing with demons."
Hua Kai-in didn't speak, but looked Uchiha Ryo up and down a few times before pushing open the temple door on his own.
This place is exactly the same as when Uchiha Ryo came here during the day; there's nothing here except for the Jizo Bodhisattva statue.
"How could that be?"
Hua Kaiyuan Youluo clearly sensed the demonic aura emanating from the temple, but as soon as she entered, everything vanished.
Uchiha Ryo: "Looks like your skills aren't up to par. Hey, we're already here, can't you even say something? Or should I just smash your statue?"
Hearing Uchiha Rin's voice, Kakeruin Yura was slightly annoyed, but the next moment she still took out a talisman from her bag and threw it directly at the Jizo statue!
The talisman spontaneously combusted the moment it touched the statue, then dissipated into the air. Looking at the statue again, a white-haired old man with somewhat strange features slowly emerged from it.
Kasakain Yura: "A monster!"
The old man glanced at the two people and the cat, and finally fixed his gaze on Uchiha Rin.
"No...it's a god, a god bestowed upon us by you humans!"
Uchiha Ryo examined the statue. It seemed that this white-haired old man, like the old woman, was a being transformed from human faith.
However, this guy's evil intentions are quite strong... he even made Yanyun-chan furious.
"In my opinion, it's just an ordinary local evil god." As she spoke, she took out a new talisman from her pocket.
"Little girl, you can't beat me, let him handle it."
The old man pointed at Uchiha Rin and smiled, while Keikain Yura was even more displeased, but the old man still advised her to step back. When facing a god, without absolute faith, one cannot break his genjutsu.
"I admire you. As the only deity in this mountain range, I can see the dark will in your eyes. You won't hesitate to kill others when necessary, right?"
"But this little girl believes in the justice that humans talk about, and she only attacks when she encounters evil people. How ridiculous. This kind of 'self-defense' mentality can't hurt me."
The old man smiled and said, "Go outside and talk, don't damage my temple."
Uchiha Ryo nodded, then grabbed Kakeruin Yura by the back of her collar and walked out. He didn't want to make a move in such a confined space.
When Nura Rikuo saw the three people and one cat coming out, he also focused his attention on the old man.
Why does this person give off that unfathomable feeling, like you would when facing your grandfather...?
Yura Kakeru slapped Uchiha Ryo's hand away. "Wait a minute, you said you're the god of this mountain, so why are you trapping us? And where are the others?"
The old man chuckled. "Let me introduce myself. My name is Tianzang. As for trapping you... I just hope someone can kill me."
"Seeing the moment when humanity is about to die allows my dormant soul to have new insights. I believe that when I see through the death and rebirth of humanity, I will transcend and enter another realm."
Uchiha Ryo: "Uh... are you sick? Or I can introduce you to a job at a crematorium, where you can see human deaths without killing anyone."
Tianzang: "..."
"Further words are useless. I have set up an illusion barrier within a kilometer radius of me. People outside will only see false images. Even human satellites can only detect false images, and all your means of communication will be rendered ineffective!"
"And the only way is to kill me!"
Uchiha Ryo's eyes lit up.
"Really? That means no matter how much I fight here, the people down the mountain won't find me?!"
Hanakain Yura: "Huh??"
Nura Rikuo/Yuki-onna: Why does this person seem so happy?
Tianzang: "That's right... Unless you kill me, you will all die here silently."
Uchiha Ryo laughed heartily, "Don't worry, I won't let you die so soon. Since I gained this power, I'm afraid I've had nowhere to use it. Thank you so much, Tenzo! You're a good person!"
Tianzang: "???"
The next moment, Uchiha Ryo opened his arms wide, "Then, let me enjoy this one-sidedly!"
