At this time, Fukui has not yet met the golden bear who saved her, and is still in the permanent area close to Iyo, performing "speed of life and death" with Dangoro Tanuki.
At this time, in the Iyo border area, in the territory controlled by the Fox clan——
Several of the little old man's external bodies were following Kamiyagawa's instructions, keeping an eye on Kitsune Jukuro's movements.
And through the main body, he continuously reports the facts about the fox demon to the gods in the real world.
After following him for a long time, Fox Juliushiro didn't show any unusual behavior.
Until nightfall, a full moon of normal size rose into the sky above Iyo. At this time, Kitsune Juluro went to the ruined ancient city alone.
The entire ancient city was shrouded in a strange and powerful aura.
According to current speculation, the reason for this may be that the ruined ancient city is related to the sacred object "Big Bright Moon" of the "Moon Palace Worship" of the raccoon and fox tribes.
But with the little old man's physical strength, he couldn't follow him inside.
Therefore, after Fox Sixteen Lang entered the ancient city, the surveillance on him was temporarily suspended.
Kamiyagawa did not act rashly because of this.
From his perspective, even if the "Great Moon" is really in that ruined ancient city, even if the Fox Clan actually controls the once-lost "Great Moon", so what?
If Fox Juliusho's little calculation was just like this, then Kamiya would be more at ease with him.
After all, this kind of thing will not affect the Takamagahara forces' plan to take over the Iyo area at all.
Again, the issue of the ownership of "Da Mingyue" is just an internal conflict between the raccoon and fox tribes, and there is no need to intervene too much.
As long as the raccoon and fox tribes don't consume each other's excellent labor force, everything will be fine.
And even if Kamiyagawa is really interested in "Da Mingyue"...
After I confirm my position as the sect leader of the Iyo region, no matter whether this treasure ends up being owned by the Fox Clan or the Tanuki Clan, it will be easy to take a look at it and maybe do some research.
For this reason, Kamiya just asked the little old man to stare at the ruins of the ancient city with his body.
As soon as Fox Juliushiro comes out, he will report the situation again.
…
In the ancient city.
Fox Juliushiro waved his folding fan and walked towards the center of this huge ruin.
Among the fox clan, except for Shirokuro, no other fox can approach this ancient city.
The breath energy contained here is difficult for ordinary monsters to resist.
Since occupying this ancient city, the upper echelons of the Fox clan have always known that Fox Juliushiro was exploring this place in a planned way.
Those foxes also knew that the treasure, the Great Moon, might be in the ancient city.
After exploring this ancient city for so long, Fox Juliushiro’s words to his subordinates have always been——
"The exploration is not yet complete."
"The center of the ancient city can never be approached."
"I'm still thinking of a way."
This statement is basically accepted by Fox's senior executives.
After all, everyone knows that this ancient city is not simple.
Maybe there’s more than just the “Big Bright Moon” inside.
However, other foxes are beyond their reach and cannot assist the leader to provide practical help. All they can do is hope that Fox Shiliu Lang can complete the exploration of the ancient city as soon as possible, and it is best to allow the fox clan to regain control of "Da Mingyue".
But what about actually?
In fact, Fox Juliushiro had already completed the exploration of the ruins of the ancient city.
He knows the structure of this town very well.
The structure here is exactly the same as the former Matsuyama Castle. Although it is generally abandoned, the structure is the same.
Fox Juliushiro knows Matsuyama Castle very well.
"Takamagahara... Kamiya River..."
As the handsome leader of the Fox Clan walked, he recalled and thought about what happened today.
Gao Tianyuan's power came too quickly and was caught off guard.
And it seems that he is planning to control Iyo in a gentler way without causing bloodshed.
What a headache.
It would be better if they could come a little later, even a few days later.
Fox Juliushiro has felt like he is being watched by others in the past few days. This feeling of being watched is something he would never notice at ordinary times.
Only when he was close to the ruins of Songshan City, he could sense it with the help of the power in the ruins, and no matter what, he could not find the source of his prying eyes.
And when he enters the ruined ancient city, the feeling of being spied on will disappear.
Having officially come into contact with the forces of Takamagahara today, Fox Juliushiro can conclude that most of them are people from Takamagahara who are secretly spying on him.
If they were those people, they would definitely be able to do such a thing.
"In the ruins of Songshan City, there are the Great Bright Moon, the Killing Stone, and the remnants of the power of the Demon King's Hammer. The aura and energy here are intricate, and it took me so long to truly control them."
"Master Kamiya's eyes and ears installed in Iyo probably noticed some clues, so he didn't approach rashly. This is still my home field, and it is safe for the time being."
"But if Kamiyagawa comes in person..."
Fox Sixteen knew clearly that Kamiyagawa had definitely noticed something strange in the ruins of Songshan City.
But I probably didn't expect that the situation inside would be so complicated, so I chose to wait and see for the time being, instead of coming to explore forcefully.
But who knows if he will come suddenly?
Just like a sudden visit to Iyo.
There is not much time left for Fox Juliushiro.
"Oh, and Heitaro Inao, I thought I had killed him back then. It's really troublesome, how could he be with the Takamagahara forces..."
"However, he didn't recognize me. Haha, after all, he is just a hot-blooded samurai who is easy to coax. After so many years, there seems to be no progress."
Fox Juliushiro continued to walk forward.
As we gradually go deeper into the ruins of Songshan City, a purple luminous mist gradually appears in the surrounding air. The fog sometimes rolls and sometimes condenses, wandering through the ruins of Songshan City like a living thing.
The outlines of buildings in the distance were all shrouded indistinctly.
And those buildings with vague shapes seem to be constantly moving, looming.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! They seem not to be static piles of stones and bricks, but to flowing liquids or leaping flames, constantly shuttling and changing in space,
They collided with each other and separated. The broken walls and ruins suddenly emerged from the fog and soared into the sky; they suddenly disappeared into the thick fog, as if they had never existed.
This scene is somewhat similar to the Live Fish Hotel controlled by Kamiya River.
Fox Juliushiro didn't care about the obstruction of these strange things, and still walked straight forward.
The "miasma of light" produced by the Killing Stone, and the spatial turmoil derived from the power of the Demon King's Mallet.
In the ruins of Songshan City, these things are controllable to Juliusho.
He seemed to be the master of the complex energy contained in this ruin.
Stepping into the miasma of light, Fox Juliusho's appearance changed.
Although he is still wearing a white robe, his white tail and ears have become bright red in color, but he still maintains the characteristics of a fox.
And his face.
Fox Juliushiro originally had the face of a white-faced scholar, but now his face showed a strange brilliance and was covered with thick exaggerated oil paint.
His face seemed to be a carefully painted Ukiyo-e, with rich and layered colors, and a more feminine look. The oil paint was based on dark blue, and was dotted with dazzling patterns carved with gold foil. It was complex and exquisite, and exuded a gorgeous and weird feeling.
of beauty.
The eyes are cleverly outlined, and the paint around the eyes is smudged with an elegant pink. The lines at the corners of the eyes are raised, showing cunning and alertness.
Such facial changes made it difficult to tell whether he was putting on the mask or taking off the mask.
"Of course, it's normal for Samurai Inagi not to recognize me. After all, the old civet cat, the Eight Hundred and Eight Hundred Bass Raccoons, didn't notice anything strange. Humans say 'the fox changes eight times, the raccoon nine changes'. It's just like the civet cat's ability to change.
It's really ridiculous that he's really better than a fox."
"Fox Juliusho" laughed in a high-pitched and feminine voice.
If the eight hundred and eight raccoon cats were at the scene at this time, the old civet cat would react in shock——
The so-called "Sixteenth Prince" it came into contact with was not the youngest son of its arch-enemy Mr. Xuanhu at all.
Rather, it was a fox demon that had "never been seen before" and was completely unfamiliar.
That's right.
The current leader of the Fox clan in Songshan is not Fox Juliushirou.
The real Kitsune Jukuro probably died with his father long ago.
And the fox demon who now takes the position of leader of the Matsuyama Fox Clan is not even a local fox from Shikoku, but a fox who came to Iyo from Shimono a long time ago.
His name is "The Killing Pillar".
Not only were the civet cats unaware of this, but the Songshan Fox Clan itself was still kept in the dark and had no idea.
This shows that the transformation ability of the killing pillar is far greater than that of the local fox in Iyo.
And his powerful transformation skills can be said to be innate.
The killing pillar was born from the "killing stone".
The so-called "Killing Stone" has a great origin. It was formed after the death of the famous great monster Tamamo.
It is said that Tamamo-mae was a beautiful woman transformed from a white-faced golden-haired nine-tailed fox. She was knowledgeable and beautiful. She entered the Japanese Imperial Palace and tried to get close to Emperor Toba, causing trouble in the world.
Tamamo Mae's intention was discovered by the great onmyoji at the time, Abe Yasuchika.
Yasuchika Abe is the fifth-generation grandson of Abe Seimei, and the founder of the Tsuchimikado clan.
At the time of the Tamamo-mae incident, although Abe Seimei was no longer alive, he was still the true co-master of ghosts and gods in Takamagahara.
The vast divine war that led to Seimei's fall and the complete separation between the eternal world and the present world has not yet officially begun.
Therefore, the Abe family at that time still had strong spiritual power.
However, Tamamo Mae was really strong. According to legend, Abe Yasuchika united with a group of Onmyoji and finally killed him using a magical mirror.
It is said that in the Shimono area where Tamamo-mae died, her body, ambition and obsession turned into a poisonous stone called the "killing stone", and she was always waiting for the opportunity of revenge.
The so-called killing stones will spit out poison. Whether they are insects or birds, they will die quickly once they come into contact with such stones. Therefore, where there are killing stones, no grass will grow.
There is still a "killing stone" on the mountain in Nasu Town, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.
And it is worshiped and visited by people.
But of course that thing is not genuine.
If it were such a dangerous thing, it couldn't be left carelessly on the mountain.
Those porous stones were produced by the internal activities of the volcano. They were poisoned by the sulfurous acid and hydrogen sulfide gas emitted by the volcano, so this legend was attached to them.
As for the killing pillar, although it is not Tamamo-mae, and its initial abilities are completely different from those of Tamamo-mae, it can still be regarded as inheriting some of the skills of the great demon of the past.
He took the fragments of the killing stone all the way from Shimono to Iyo.
The purpose is to obtain the bright moon that will help the fox demon practice.
With the help of his unparalleled ability to change, the killing pillar replaced the then Lord of Songshan City and stirred up people's hearts. Taking advantage of the convenience of "being the Lord of the City", he secretly summoned some Onmyoji and warriors to launch an attack on the Tanuki Clan.
I just never thought that the Fox Clan in Songshan would suddenly assist the Tanuki Clan.
Only then did Shashou Zhu lure Dao Sheng into the game, and the series of events that followed.
…
"Heitaro Inao didn't even notice it himself. He sealed the Eight Hundred Rhinoceros and the Great Moon together. It took me so long, it took me so long, to regain control of these things. I was promoted to the Sky Fox.
It’s just one step away, just one step away.”
The monster that once attacked Inao was the killing pillar in its original form.
He originally wanted to take away the Demon King's hammer completely and try to unseal the Great Moon. Unfortunately, it backfired and he only took away part of the energy of the hammer.
As for today at Tanuki Palace, Sesshōbashira did not lie to Kamiyagawa.
It is true that the "Songshan Fox Clan" never attacked Daosheng.
After all, at that time, Shashou Zhu's identity was still the "Lord" of Songshan City.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Takamagahara...Takamagahara..."
It's fun to say.
That Lord Kamiya claimed to be from Takamagahara and was the master of Takamagahara.
Although it is true that there are at least two gods under him, his true self...
When facing the Kamiya River, Sesshōbashira could indeed feel the sense of oppression.
That Lord Kamiya is very special.
What should I say?
Fox demons are best at bewitching people with their charm, and can stir up disputes even with just words.
The Killing Pillar was born from the Killing Stone, and now it is the Sky Fox. It is the leader among the fox demons, so naturally it is very good at this.
The once peaceful Songshan City was thrown into chaos by him.
But having had formal contact with that Lord Kamiya, Sesshomagi could feel that his method would probably not be effective on him.
This is the fox demon's intuition.
In terms of deceiving people, the Lord of Gao Tianyuan may be better than himself.
I really can’t figure out who the fox demon is.
But even so, the intuitive pressure exerted by Kamiya River on the Sesshō Pillar has not reached the level of a god.
"He is obviously the master of Gao Tianyuan, but he is still not a god? Even if what he said is true, then I am afraid that Gao Tianyuan is no longer a truly abode of gods."
Shashengzhu saw this very keenly.
But he still had no intention of fighting against Takamagahara and Kamiyagawa.
In the Imperial Raccoon Palace, there are the tengu who intimidate the raccoon and fox tribes, as well as the figure in the red and black dress.
Those two beings are so terrifying.
He is definitely a genuine god.
The killing pillar would not be so stupid as to seek death and become an enemy of the gods.
Even if he had to take risks, he would only do things where there was a chance of winning, and his calculations would only target those who had a chance of being defeated.
So unless Gao Tian originally hoped to be defeated, even if this possibility is very small...
But it cannot be zero.
If conspiracy and trickery cannot bridge the gap in absolute strength, it would be better to be more sensible.
Those who know the current affairs are heroes.
Facing Kamiyagawa, the best choice is to surrender or simply run away from Iyo.
He must let Sesshuba put aside everything that is within easy reach of Iyo, and let go of the opportunity that is right in front of him, to become an "empty fox".
How could he be willing to do so?
empty fox.
Located above Tianhu.
As long as you become an empty fox, you will be a god in the true sense.
This is an achievement that Tamamo has never really achieved.
