There is nothing wrong with the training method of the Justice Messenger

"...Well, I think that my sudden visit and asking about those three people without any reason would make you, Lord Yuzhang, very confused. Now that things have come to this, I will not hide it from you, Lord Yuzhang, and tell you something here."

"what?"

Nura Rikuo restrained his smile.

"Not long before you came to visit my Nura Group, the Kanto Great Ape Group under my Nura Group was wiped out. At the time, everyone in the headquarters, from the group leader Baboon-sama to the kitchen servants, were all killed, leaving no one alive."

It was the first time that Yu Zhang heard the news and his eyes widened.

Inugami also showed a surprised look and murmured: "The baboon was killed?"

Nura Rikuo then slowly said: "And now I suspect that the three mages are the murderers."

Yu Zhang frowned and didn't say anything for a while, but he thought a lot.

The destruction of the organizations under the Nura Group was like a slap in the face and a declaration of war. From Nura Rikuo's point of view, who would be the biggest suspect? Obviously, it would only be Yuyuko, who had a grudge against the Nura Group and had sent people to cause trouble several times.

Since it happened before Yu Zhang came to visit and mediate, it means that Nura Rikuo must have such a guess. This would have been a reason for him and others who came here on behalf of Yuyuko to mediate to be directly kicked out. However, Nura Rikuo did not mention anything when he went to visit, listened to everything calmly, and sent him out the door as if nothing had happened...

I thought this guy was just free-spirited and had no scheming. It seems that it was just my misunderstanding... Since he didn't mention it at that time, but brought it up now, and even put forward the speculation that the murderer was the three mages, did something happen in the past few days?

"I have also heard of Lord Baboon's reputation, but I never expected that he would suddenly meet with such a misfortune. I am really saddened to hear the bad news... But I must make it clear that this matter has nothing to do with me." In short, Yu Zhang first made a solemn self-clarification.

Nura Rikuo nodded.

"I believe it, but I don't suspect the Eighty-Eight Demons of Shikoku Night Parade. Didn't I say that I think it was the three wizards who came here with you that day who did it?"

"…I don't know why Lord Lu Sheng thinks that those three people did this?"

"Someone I know had a conflict with Fujiki and the other two before, and they exchanged blows. I know that the man behind Fujiki is named Yato, who is good with a knife, and the girl is named Fei, and the magic knife she transformed into has the ability to suck people's blood. Their abilities match the way the baboon group members died, and the scene at the time was carefully wiped clean of all traces, and it seems that there was also a wizard present. All these things make me suspect those three people."

Yu Zhang raised his eyebrows slightly. Those three guys also had a conflict with someone Nura Rikuo knew? What on earth did they do?

"I just want to find Fujiki and find out if he did it," Nura Rikuo continued, "That's why I took the liberty to come here and pay you a sudden visit today. I hope Master Yuzhang will forgive me."

"I see...Since Lord Lu Sheng is suspicious, he must have his reasons. But I must say that I have nothing to do with those three people, and I don't know anything about this matter. If it was really done by those three people, it has nothing to do with my Shikoku 88 Demon Night Parade."

"I know. I just want to try my luck. It doesn't matter if I can't find it here. Of course, I don't intend to embarrass Master Yuzhang."

"If I meet those three people later, I will definitely ask them clearly on your behalf, Lord Lu Sheng. If it is confirmed that they are the ones who did it, I will arrest them and send them to the Nura Group to await Lord Lu Sheng's decision."

Nura Rikuo smiled lightly and naturally would not believe such polite words.

"I believe in the innocence of the Shikoku 88 Demon Night Parade, and I know that those three people have nothing to do with Master Yuzhang. In this case, I certainly don't intend to trouble others to solve my own grudges. I am ready to deal with it myself, and it will not affect your Shikoku 88 Demon Night Parade. Now I am talking to Master Yuzhang, if for no other reason, I just want to ask Master Yuzhang why you think those three people did such a thing - to be more straightforward, do you think it was Yuyuko's intention?"

Although he knew that Nura Rikuo would be so suspicious, but he said it so bluntly to Yuzhang, which made Yuzhang speechless for a moment. Yuzhang had already stated that he was a subordinate of Yuyuko. Although he was not in the same group as those three people, they were still working under the same person. Wasn't he worried that Nura Rikuo was going to cover up for those three people, and deceive them here, saying some confusing words, and even clearing the suspicion of the three people?

So Yuzhang simply asked, "Will Lord Nura believe what I say?"

"I am the type who doesn't bother to think too much. I believe it if I want to, and I don't believe it if I don't. I think Lord Yuzhang and those three people are not on the same side, so I will believe you. Since I asked you this, I just want to hear Lord Yuzhang's opinion for reference. If you don't mind, please tell me."

When Yu Zhang saw the look in Nura Rikuo's eyes, he knew that he already had his own thoughts in his heart and would not be fooled by a few words. Now he took the initiative to speak frankly with him, revealing his trust in this side and wanting to ask for this side's opinion.

Decide to cooperate.

"Let me think about it."

Yu Zhang lowered his brows, thinking back to everything about those three people. Standing in Fujiki's position, assuming that he was really the murderer who killed the entire Kanto Great Ape Society, he wondered why he did these things... From Fujiki's initiative to ask to come here to mediate, to taking time out to leave during the period, to doing things like killing the entire Kanto Great Ape Society, to going to the Nura clan to pay a visit with him, and making various seemingly provocative moves during the conversation - the answer is actually easy to understand, and his purpose is already very obvious.

"You want to stir up a conflict between Master Yuyuko and the Nura Clan and destroy my intention to mediate between the two parties."

"I think so too. Then tell me, does this guy represent Yuyuko's intentions?" Nura Rikuo said coldly, "He asked people to mediate and sent people to do this kind of provocative thing. Is he mentally ill?"

So he was caught in the middle and was neither a popular person nor a popular figure. Yu Zhang was also a little angry. In addition, if Fujiki really did this behind the scenes, many of this guy's actions could undermine the mediation, which was undoubtedly against him, Yu Zhang. Fortunately, Nura Rikuo was magnanimous and forbearing at the time, and now he did not suspect the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade.

If it was Fujiki's arbitrary behavior, then Yuzhang would have wanted to kill him and hand him over to the Nura clan to settle the matter, but as to whether it was Yuyuko's intention... Yuzhang was actually not sure.

Think back to the initial situation.

At the long table, the beautiful woman with black hair and white skin sat in the main seat, leaning one hand on the handle, supporting her cheek, and listening to the parents' discussions beside her with boredom, until the topic progressed to inviting the Nura clan to discuss important matters, then she sneered, but did not deny it. When her father later proposed that he, Yu Zhang, be the representative of the Shikoku 88 Demons Night Parade to go to the Nura clan to mediate, she also agreed casually, and did not express any opinions from beginning to end - it was better to say that she seemed to be not interested in anything.

After that, when Yu Zhang went back and began to make preparations to visit the Nura clan, he didn't know what happened to Yuyuko, but the wizard named Fujiki was suddenly sent and said that he would come with him.

And then this is what happened.

"However, although it's just a guess, I still think that the matter of the Kanto Great Ape Society was not what Lord Yuyuko intended." Yu Zhang suddenly said.

"Oh? How to say it."

"Lord Rikuo, you don't know that Lord Yuyuko... doesn't really manage things. He leaves small matters to his subordinates to decide, and big matters are often decided simply by nodding or shaking his head... So, it can be said that Lord Yuyuko lets the numerous factions under his command act on their own. Fujiki's move may just represent the thoughts of a group of people who don't want the Nura group to participate in the alliance."

Chapter 267: Hidden God Punishment Department Jade Seal

Yuzhang's statement was consistent with Nura Rikuo's guess. The words spoken by the young master of the Shikoku Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade who had direct contact with Yuyuko were more credible. Nura Rikuo secretly agreed in his heart, but his face remained calm. He smiled and said, "So that's how it is?" He then asked, "In that case, which faction does Lord Yuzhang belong to?"

Yu Zhang kept smiling and answered without hesitation: "I am a group of 88 ghosts from Shikoku who are on the night parade."

“…It’s what I should do.”

"As for our stance, we will of course firmly stand on the stance of the overall youkai, and we will consider everyone in our words and deeds. From this perspective, I sincerely believe that the Nura Group is indispensable, so even though we are helping Master Yuyuko, we do not intend to become enemies with the Nura Group, and I hope Master Lu Sheng will understand."

Yu Zhang reiterated his attitude and added: "It's not just me, many parents think so."

"...Thanks to all the parents for their love, I have nothing to fear. I will try my best not to let you down."

After a few pleasantries, they confirmed some information with each other. There was no need to talk any further, so Nura Rikuo smiled and took his leave. Yuzhang and the old man stood up to see them off, and Nura Rikuo did not refuse. The three of them left the office together and walked towards the main entrance. Nura Rikuo did not hide his figure anymore, so Yuzhang's men noticed Nura Rikuo's appearance and looked at him in surprise. They all recognized the third generation of the Nura group, but they didn't know when he had arrived.

Nura Rikuo looked around. Outside the office was the lobby, but this floor of the office building was not an office. Looking around, there was no ordinary human being. Gathered there were guys with various abilities, either mages or monsters. Now that Nura Rikuo revealed his true face, these people who seemed to be Yuzhang's subordinates had different reactions. Some seemed to have heard of his reputation and looked at him in awe, while others looked at him unkindly, sneered, and did not hide their hostility and curiosity.

For Nura Rikuo, among the people he met during his trips, there were some whose names he had heard of and knew were the cadres of Shikoku's Eighty-Eight Demons Night Parade, but there were many more unfamiliar faces he had never seen before.

In general, it felt like these people were clearly divided into two different groups. One group was led by the old cadres of the Four Countries' Eighty-Eight Ghosts Night Parade. They behaved strictly in accordance with the rules and cast respectful glances at the leader Yu Zhang who was walking over. It was obvious that they were their direct descendants.

The other wave is those who are casual and free in their expressions, words and deeds. When Yu Zhang comes, they just bow symbolically. Some even don't even bow symbolically, and are very impolite, holding their heads high and looking straight ahead.

Not to mention Yuyuko's subordinates, it seems that Yu Zhang has all kinds of people under his command.

Seeing Nura Rikuo's thoughts while he was looking around, Yu Zhang said, "Excuse me, Lord Rikuo, but some of these guys have just joined me recently. We were used to being lax before, and we don't know the rules very well. Please forgive me if I have offended you."

"...I heard that all kinds of people are trying to get close to Yuyuko. It seems that Lord Yuzhang has also taken this opportunity to gather a group of talents?"

"…I can't help it. Now is the time to develop new industries, and I need people to do the work."

"Haha, that's all..."

Nura Rikuo naturally wouldn't believe Yuzhang's lies. These guys were all fierce and ferocious, and they didn't look like they were talented in business.

He had long seen that Yu Zhang was not a humble and gentle person on the surface. He must have his own ambitions behind the scenes. He took the initiative to contact the Nura Group to expand business. On the one hand, he gathered such a group of people to expand his power. All of these were manifestations of his ambitions, including joining the Yuyuko's army. This young master might not really admire the fox and be willing to lead the entire Shikoku 88 Demon Night Parade to bow down to him. Instead, he was using the platform to seek greater benefits.

But what's so strange about this? Ambitious people are everywhere in the world, and there is no shortage of such guys among monsters. Yu Zhang wants to expand his own organization, and Nura Rikuo can't control it, but...

"This is our Nura Group's territory, and it is our responsibility to maintain the rules here, so I have to remind Master Yuzhang that I hope you can control the actions of your subordinates and don't do anything excessive."

Nura Rikuo spoke very seriously, deliberately not lowering his voice, and his cold eyes swept over the guys who looked at him unfriendly.

Since they were people recruited from all walks of life who had defected to Yuyuko, it was not difficult to imagine how many evildoers there were among them. Just by looking at them now, it was obvious that there were a few restless creatures who dared to behave wildly in front of Yuzhang and himself, which also showed how unrestrained they were in their daily lives.

As the commander-in-chief of the Nura group, Nura Rikuo has seen many villains, but this does not mean that he can tolerate any criminal. As the saying goes, there is a black world and a white world, and there are strict rules in the darkness. You cannot act recklessly in the darkness.

Those guys who cross the rules, lose their limits, have no sense of propriety, and do evil without reason and justice are exactly the type that Nura Rikuo hates the most - and now it is obvious that there are several of them among Yuzhang's subordinates.

Yu Zhang frowned, and was very disgusted by Nura Rikuo's pretentious tone, but he did not refute and spoke lightly.

"I will naturally discipline my subordinates well, so Lord Lu Sheng won't have to worry about it."

Hearing that Yuzhang was unhappy, Nura Rikuo shrugged and pretended to be innocent: "Don't be angry, Master Yuzhang, I am just reminding you kindly."

“…Oh? How do you mean?”

"After all, if you really did something wrong, you can still talk to me and negotiate with me. But if you offend the local exorcists... then it won't be so easy to get away with it."

Nura Rikuo's reminder makes sense.

It is related to spiritual disasters, especially the third type of spiritual disasters involving monster wizards and the like. Once the Onmyoji Bureau finds out, they will always pay special attention to it. It is no secret that there are exorcists on the territory of Nura Group. For example, the news that "Prodigy" recently appeared in Chiba and studied in a local school is known to everyone. The Onmyoji Bureau is obviously paying attention to every move around the headquarters of Nura Group. There is an exorcist here. Once these subordinates of Yuzhang commit something and are found out by them, it will definitely not be easily resolved.

At this moment, Yu Zhang's heart moved, and he remembered the rumor that the powerful exorcist who killed Kidomaru and others was here.

Nura Rikuo must know some information about this person. Yu Zhang was curious at this time, wondering if Nura Rikuo was reminding him not to provoke this person, but from Yu Zhang's point of view, this was a difficult topic to ask. After all, Kidomaru and others came here with the purpose of causing trouble for the Nura group. Asking the Nura group about this matter was equivalent to reminding them to remember this temporary old grudge, which was really tactless. So in the end, he didn't ask anything, just nodded silently to indicate that he knew, and he was indeed more careful.

Seeing his expression, knowing that his words had hit the mark, Nura Rikuo said nothing more and left.

Watching the sly ghost's figure walking away from him slowly disappearing and his breath no longer being detectable, Yu Zhang suppressed his smile and said coldly.

"This Nura Clan's commander is really bold. He really dares to come to me alone. I have already said that I am a subordinate of Yuyuko. Isn't he afraid that I am pretending to mediate but actually have evil intentions, and will take advantage of an opportunity that no one else around him has and take off his head and give it to Yuyuko?"

The old man didn't take it seriously and smiled, "Maybe it's not that I didn't expect it, but that I didn't care. Nura: All ...

"…Indeed, Nura is an expert at hiding his presence. I didn't even notice when he approached. Where's Lord Inugami?"

"I didn't realize that if Naughty wanted to leave, there would probably be no one who could stop him."

"So you act so recklessly because you think I can't keep him, right... Hehe." Yu Zhang shook his head and smiled, but didn't take it seriously. He didn't discuss this kind of meaningless topic anymore, but asked, "What do you think about Fujiki and the other two, Lord Inugami?"

"…I feel that those three people have never concealed their ill intentions since they started traveling together. They may have been driven by the people around Yuyuko who are hostile to the Nura Clan and followed them here to disrupt the mediation. The incident with the Kanto Great Ape Society was most likely done by them."

"He does stupid things secretly and can't clean up his hands. Now he is found out. He is such a loser." Yu Zhang snorted disdainfully, but was too lazy to care about Fujiki and the other two. He thought that since this guy didn't contact them, he probably knew that the matter had been exposed and was busy avoiding the pursuit of the Nura clan. He might even have fled back to Yuyuko.

As for Nura Rikuo's warning, since Yu Zhang took it to heart, he decided to talk it over. He turned around and went back into the building. Before returning to his office, he still said something to his subordinates outside the door.

"During these days, you all have to watch your hands and feet and not cause any trouble in Qianye."

First, there was a resounding response without hesitation. These were the old men who had followed Yuzhang and the Eighty-Eight Demons of Shikoku Night Parade before. He had no worries about the loyalty and obedience of this group of people. Yuzhang nodded and looked at another group of people. They were some new members he had recruited when he was with Yuyuko in order to expand his power.

Yuzhang asked them again.

"Understand?"

The sparse and weak response made Yu Zhang frown, realizing that Nura Rikuo's worry was unfounded.

There were many people who came to Yuyuko, and Yuyuko accepted everyone, but he only accepted a few of them personally. The rest of them were assigned to the subordinates of his cadres. Yuzhang wanted to expand the staff, and took the initiative to accept a group of people under the name of Shikoku Eighty-eight Demons Night Parade. These people were too undisciplined and had no rules, and there were also some who were self-reliant and had high eyes. Many of them were dissatisfied with him when they were assigned to his subordinates, but it didn't matter. Yuzhang recruited these people with the intention of training and selecting a group of them in a long time, so there was no rush now, so after giving these instructions, he no longer paid any attention to them and prepared to go back to his office to continue working.

Suddenly a weird voice was heard.

"I don't quite understand. What's wrong with you, Master Yuzhang? Are you scared after hearing what Nura Rikuo said? That's not good, right? If the young master of the Shikoku 88 Demons Night Parade gives in so easily, it will be said that the Shikoku 88 Demons Night Parade is afraid of the Nura Group."

Yu Zhang stopped moving, put down his hands, and turned around with the old man to look at the man who spoke. He was a strong and tall man with fierce eyebrows and a scar on his face. He looked scary. At this moment, he was sneering, as if he disagreed with Yu Zhang's explanation.

"Who do you think you are? How dare you say that to Lord Yuzhang..." Someone immediately spoke up to reprimand them. He was a veteran cadre of the Four Kingdoms' Eighty-Eight Ghosts Night Parade, and he could not tolerate anyone daring to speak rudely to the young master.

But Yu Zhang stretched out his hand, motioning him not to say anything, and instead looked at the man with a smile.

I remember that this was a former exorcist who claimed to have committed a serious crime. It seemed that he acted too eccentrically and killed and humiliated an ordinary family because of an offense. After the incident was exposed, he disappeared and escaped the pursuit of the Curse Search Department. After hearing the slogan of Yuyuko, he came to join him, but was not selected and was assigned to his own team. This guy was usually brooding over the fact that he was not favored by Yuyuko, and seemed to be dissatisfied with being assigned to Yuzhang's team.

Yu Zhang asked with a smile: "Why, the great name of the Nura Clan, aren't you afraid?"

"Afraid? Are you kidding? Who would I be afraid of?" The man held his head high and said proudly, "Let alone a young Sandaime, even if Nurarihyon himself came and dared to tell me what to do, I would kill him anyway."

"Your Excellency is so powerful? Then you will not be afraid of my name, right?"

"That's natural."

"Okay, I admire you for being so tough. Please come in front of me so I can get to know you better."

The man walked forward with confidence.

"Master Yuzhang should look carefully and get to know me better. After all, the person in front of you will become your right-hand man in the future."

The man said, his voice was sarcastic in order to attract Yuzhang's attention. He felt that he could not go under the command of the master Yuyuko, but the name of the Shikoku 88 Demons Night Parade was also very famous. For this reason, he agreed to come under Yuzhang's command, and wanted to work hard with the young master to gain fame and fortune. In this situation, his plan seemed to have worked, and Yuzhang was interested in him.

"You want to be my right-hand man? Then I am even more curious about your strength. How about this, let me give it a try?"

"Try? Sure, go ahead—"

The sword flashed.

Maintaining an arrogant expression, the head fell to the ground.

Blood gushed out, splashing all over Yu Zhang, staining his expensive suit dark red.

In the silence, Yu Zhang slowly put away his knife, felt sincerely regretful, and shook his head silently.

"After trying, it seems that you are not yet qualified to be my right-hand man."

Taking the handkerchief handed over by the old man beside him, Yu Zhang wiped his face and spoke to the group of new members who were silent as a mouse with a smile.

"If you have the strength, I allow you to be arrogant in front of me, but if you don't have the strength, you have to shut up, be quiet, and obey me. Newbies, do you understand?"

Chapter 268: A Weekend Day

When leaving the place where Yu Zhang was, Nura Rikuo was still thinking.
