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

"Yes, this guy is indeed a murderer of the same level as Tsuchigumo. He is probably a strong man who can have a good fight with you, but now you, a lowly servant... Lord Li, can you please pay attention to the situation first? Don't act like a battle maniac and make unnecessary attempts there, okay? I know you want to fight with Tianruo now, and I am looking forward to you beating Sima half to death in the face like you beat down Tsuchigumo, but now we are talking about business. To be honest, we don't have many people like Tianruo who can fight. Why do you think the Onmyoji Department now thinks Yuyuko is a troublesome problem that is difficult to deal with? If the monsters really gather their strength, even if we exorcists can win the all-out war against the monsters, it will be a tragic victory."

"Don't get it wrong. This is not an all-out war between monsters and exorcists, but an all-out war between monsters and humans." Li Nian sneered disdainfully, "Can't win? I don't even know how to lose. Have you forgotten that there are armies besides exorcists? Have you forgotten what the human military has become now?"

There is talk of an all-out war between monsters and exorcists. If it really came to that, it would definitely not just be a matter of practitioners and spiritual beings, but would inevitably become a conflict between monsters and humans as a whole.

Then, it would just be the monsters' own destruction.

This kind of situation has happened before. In the historical records that have been preserved, there are many records of monsters being conquered by the rulers of the time. Those who participated in it included exorcists and ordinary humans.

When spiritual beings appear, they are also flesh and blood. In ancient times, they could be attacked by the army and shot into a sieve by arrows. In today's era, they are even more unable to withstand bullets. They may be able to dodge and withstand the bullets shot by the pistols issued by the local police, and kill a few ordinary humans in groups of three or five. But when it comes to facing well-trained soldiers who are assembled in groups and equipped with more powerful firepower, and facing a modern integrated navy, army and air force, not every monster is qualified to touch them.

What's more, the world is so big. Japan is just the size of a small island. The world outside is even wider. The whole world is one. There is competition as well as cooperation, and there is plenty of foreign aid.

In today's era, human beings stand at the top of the food chain and control the entire planet. The reason is very sufficient, because they have the power that matches their status.

The wheel of history rolls forward, the torrent of the times flows endlessly, and great changes have taken place since four hundred years ago. The age of monsters? It's ridiculous, it didn't exist before, and it's even more impossible to appear now. So what if spiritual beings exist? They are just a kind of creatures, but because they have human form and spirituality, they have integrated into society, hidden in every corner, and become a part of society, they are difficult to deal with. Do they want to jump out of society, entangle in groups, and become anti-human terrorists? Then just kill them all to prevent future troubles.

This is also the reason why Li Nian doesn't care about the total war at the moment and is in a mood to chat and laugh.

If you look at the general situation clearly, you will know that if the monsters really gather together to do stupid things against humanity, that would be an act of seeking death, and they can be wiped out in one fell swoop. Li Nian has always been convinced that the day the monsters raise the banner of rebellion against humans will be the day of their destruction.

Jianshan and Dalian Temple came to their senses and immediately understood this truth.

Speaking of which, Tian Ruo himself did not panic at all and was able to maintain a calm look. It seems that he was not just pretending to be calm. He probably saw this clearly like Li Nian.

But unlike Li Nian, even though Tian Ruo knew that humans would encircle and suppress the monsters, and that the problem of monsters causing troubles could be solved once and for all, he did not expect this to happen, because...

"No matter what, people will die. A lot of people will die."

Li Nian frowned slightly and said, "...some sacrifices are necessary."

"…Spiritual disasters are something we exorcists should deal with. We have no right to let others who have nothing to do with us sacrifice for us."

"Well said! It can be seen that Master Tianruo is a man who is willing to sacrifice himself. It's a pity that other exorcists don't think so. Otherwise, they should have gathered people to defeat Yuyuko when the crisis was just beginning. In the current situation, the sacrifices required to deal with this problem will inevitably be greater than before. If this continues, the sacrifices to be made in the future may be even greater, right?"

It's not that he didn't hear the sarcasm and warning in Li Nian's words. These are questions that Tian Ruo Qingxian has thought about countless times. He doesn't need an independent exorcist outside the staff to teach him how to do things. But he still answered: "If it develops into a full-scale war, there will indeed be greater sacrifices - for both humans and monsters. So this is a situation that needs to be avoided at all costs."

"Avoiding war means leaving the enemy alone and turning a blind eye? I know that there are more and more evil guys recently, probably because the villains feel that they have found an organization and received protection, and feel that the Onmyoji Bureau no longer has the power to suppress them, so they begin to ignore your Onmyoji Bureau, and your inaction has contributed to this arrogance. Yes, I know that there are smart bigwigs among the monsters who are trying to stop the escalation of conflicts, but those bigwigs are also happy to see the monsters become more powerful, right? Under the premise of not triggering a war, weakening the suppression power of the Onmyoji Bureau will make it easier for them to do whatever they want, which is their goal. The prestige and order that you have worked hard to build are collapsing, Lord Tianruo, you must know it, right? How long are you going to sit back and watch?"

"Our battle has never stopped. How many tasks has Lord Li been assigned? Including me, all the exorcists are busy dealing with these guys. We still use the management method of killing one by one. The determination of the Yin-Yang Department to maintain order has never changed."

"This is not enough. The only way to solve the problem once and for all is to address it at its source."

"That's why I came to visit the Nura Group."

Chapter 363: The Name Already Known

Li Nian narrowed his eyes slightly.

Come to the Nura clan's main headquarters and solve the problem of the powerful Feathered Fox from the source?

Li Nian thought about it and recalled the topic he had discussed with this person and Nura Nagisa, about jointly defeating the feathered fox. His eyes suddenly lit up: "Oh, are you finally going to ignore the Onmyoji Bureau and go find the Nura group to defeat the fox together?"

His idea was to solve the source of the problems of the Monster Alliance from Yuyuko himself. If the fox was killed, the mob would naturally be leaderless and would scatter like birds and beasts.

He thought that Tian Ruo Qingxian had finally made up his mind not to delay any further.

"...Not really." But Tian Ruo Qingxian immediately denied it.

no.

Li Nian was stunned and sighed in disappointment, realizing that he was wrong. Tenruka Kiyon came to the Nura clan to discuss something else.

Tian Ruo could also understand what Li Nian was thinking: "If we can solve Yuyi Fox himself, all the problems will naturally not be a problem, but it is difficult to do so now."

"Yes, yes, she has recovered her strength and gathered forces, so of course it is difficult to kill her." Knowing that Tian Ruo Qingxian's plan was not a decisive one, Li Nian suddenly lost interest: "But if you ask me, killing Yuyuko herself is still the best way. It is worth doing even now - it is much better than dragging it out and letting the impact grow and the harm become more serious."

"If there is a good chance to kill Yuyuko, of course I can give it a try, so this method has always been within my consideration, but as Lord Li said, we have missed the best opportunity to strangle Yuyuko herself, and now there is no chance anymore, so we have to wait and see." Tian Ruo stared at Li Nian, still remembering what he had just said unintentionally, "...Even if this opportunity arises, it will definitely require the power of the Yin Yang Bureau to do it. No matter what, ignoring the Yin Yang Bureau is not an option, please remember this, Lord Li."

This is a warning to me, a warning not to act on my own. Therefore, Minister Zhusou has no intention of escaping the constraints of the Yin-Yang Bureau and acting arbitrarily. At present, he still intends to obey the arrangements of the Yin-Yang Bureau. All the words he said before were also considered from the overall perspective of the Yin-Yang Bureau.

Of course, Li Nian could hear the warning, but he didn't take it seriously. He snorted with amusement and said, "Opportunities are often fleeting. You can't just wait for them to appear. You need to be willing to fight for them. When you avoid fighting and decide to take a long detour and use other methods, it is doomed to be difficult to wait for this opportunity. Let me say this: I will respect and cooperate with what Lady Tianruo thinks and what the Yin Yang Bureau thinks, but I won't wait. If I meet Yuyuko, I will settle accounts with her immediately and will definitely try to kill her. This is out of my personal grudge."

Is this guy planning to go looking for trouble with Yuyuko alone, just like he did with Tsuchigumo?

Jianshan and Dalian Temple frowned immediately, thinking that they shouldn't let Li Nian act so rashly, but they knew that their words would not be able to persuade Li Nian, so they could only look at Tianruo, hoping that he would say something.

Tian Ruo asked doubtfully.

"...Lord Li is so angry about being in trouble a few times?"

Tianruo could see that Li Nian obviously wanted to kill Yuyuko, and it had reached a desperate level, so she asked this question.

"That's a small matter." Li Nian shook his head. "The main thing is that the revenge for my parents must be settled."

Li Nian had talked about this matter with Tianruo Qingxian and Nurarihyon before, and Tianruo also knew that the personal grudge he was talking about referred to the aftermath of the death of Li Nian's parents in the Kyoto spiritual disaster and the breaking of the seal by Yuyuko, as well as the troubles he had suffered from Yuyuko's subordinates several times. Tianruo originally thought that this "strong man who came from the mainland and borrowed Li Nian's identity" was more concerned about the troubles he had suffered, but now he was a little surprised to hear that he cared more about the revenge for Li Nian's parents.

But Tianruo changed his mind and felt that it was quite similar to what Li Nian would say. From his words, it could be seen that he was the kind of person who hated evil. It could also be seen from Li Nian's attitude towards Dalian Temple and Jianshan that Li Nian was indeed very loyal. Basically, Tianruo's judgment of Li Nian was that he was a colleague he could trust, which was why he told him all kinds of secrets.

Because of this, he also wanted to persuade Li Nian and did not want Li Nian to do something that was almost suicidal.

"The hatred of killing one's relatives is indeed an irreconcilable hatred, but I still want to advise Lord Li not to be impulsive. It is true that you are a strong man who can defeat Tsuchigumo, but Yuyuko's current strength is still above Tsuchigumo, and there are many powerful monsters gathered around to protect her. I think even Lord Li would find it difficult to kill Yuyuko under such heavy protection."

"I know. I received your message. Lord Tenruo said that before Tsuchigumo was tricked by Yuyuko, he seemed to have already fought with Yuyuko. He was tricked into fighting with a strong man because he lost, right?"

Li Nian still remembered what Tianruo had said before, saying that the Tsuchigumo was unsealed by Yuyuko. With that guy's eagerness for a fight, he would have challenged Yuyuko to a fight on the spot. If he had lost, he would have been instigated to run to Chiba and cause trouble for him.

"That's the case, so Lord Li must not underestimate Yuyuko just because you defeated the Tsuchigumo spider." Tian Ruo had a serious expression on his face and said this very seriously.

"Don't worry, I'm not stupid. I've personally experienced Tsuchigumo's strength. I did win, but it wasn't as easy as Isayama-senpai said. How dare I underestimate Yuyuko who has defeated such a great monster before me?"

"Now that you know that, you shouldn't act impulsively."

"I won't be impulsive. I am sure I can get out of this safely..."

Isayama sneered and said, "I seem to have heard someone say the same thing before he challenged Tsuchigumo to a fight."

"So? Didn't I win against Tsuchigumo and come back alive as I promised?"

"You did come back alive, but you were just as crazy as that lunatic when you fought. I bet you five yen that when you fought with Yuyuko, you didn't remember to save enough energy to run away." Isayama paused and said, "I think Aenaka-sama is right. Don't be impulsive. It would be funny if you really died. Yuyuko's own strength is even higher than Tsuchigumo's. In a fight, the fox will definitely not be like Tsuchigumo who just stands there and lets you attack. She will definitely be much more difficult to deal with than Tsuchigumo."

"I guess so."

Judging from Li Nian's nonchalant attitude, it was clear that this guy hadn't listened at all. Isayama was a little anxious and added: "Besides, unlike Tsuchigumo who is alone, Yuyuko has a lot of subordinates! Do you want to experience a righteous gang fight?"

"I don't think you need to mind this. Didn't she readily accept Tsuchigumo's challenge? Didn't she fight alone at that time? She seems to have her eyes on me too, and probably wants to kill me too. If I say I want to fight her alone, she will probably accept it. It will also be a chance for her to kill me, right? Then I will shout loudly: I killed your left and right arms. You, Yuyuko, want to be the lord of demons and monsters, but you don't have the courage to avenge your subordinates, and accept a challenge from me, a little-known new exorcist? Wouldn't she be so angry that she will come to me for a 1v1?"

It can be seen that Li Nian is indeed not stupid. She did not think of challenging Yuyuko and her subordinates alone. She was not confident enough to handle a righteous gang fight. She had already thought about how to provoke Yuyuko to come out for a 1v1 fight.

But the problem is that 1v1 is also very dangerous. Since the process of provoking the opponent has been planned, it can be seen that Li Nian is determined to challenge Yuyuko the moment she sees her. Isayama doesn't know what to say.

But Tian Ruo shook his head: "Yuyi Fox will not care about such provocation, and Lord Li does not need to do such unnecessary things."

"……What's the meaning?"

"She is a woman who believes that the strong prey on the weak and that it is natural for the weak to be killed by the strong. How many conflicts do you think the Onmyoji Bureau has had with Yuyuko's strength so far? She has dealt with those who did not break the rules. Yuyuko has never stood up for anyone and has been watching all these conflicts happen with cold eyes. There was once an ignorant idiot who cried in front of her about the death of his brother, hoping to get Yuyuko's help to avenge him. As a result, Yuyuko smiled and took off his head, saying, "You are so weak, don't you deserve to be killed?" She is like this, not caring about the weak who can't handle the problems themselves. This is also the reason why both sides are still safe and sound and the conflict has not escalated rapidly."

Knowing that Tian Ruoyou had placed an undercover agent from the Onmyoji Agency next to Yuyuko when she was casually recruiting people, he said that Yuyuko had said that, which means he really heard her say that.

Li Nian was puzzled.

"So ruthless? Why would anyone follow her? But the few guys I met before were loyal to her until they died. How could a leader who was so trusted be so indifferent? Aren't the guys gathered under her seeking protection? If she doesn't protect her subordinates, why do so many people come to her?"

"She is not ruthless, it's just the opposite. Among the monsters, she is the type who values ​​friendship very much. It's just that she treats her subordinates differently. There are many demons and monsters gathered under her banner, but they are clearly divided into her direct descendants and outsiders. Only those who are strong and useful can become her direct descendants, and be personally received by Yuyuko and brought around. She is always generous and friendly to her direct descendants, giving them whatever they ask for. The others are outsiders, who are taken in and controlled by Yuyuko's direct descendants. Yuyuko herself doesn't even bother to look at these [outsiders]. She is ruthless to the weak and the useless."

"Oh, then it's understandable that she doesn't bother to help the worthless people... But the cadres I killed weren't my direct subordinates? The waves sent here were obviously looking for trouble with me. I didn't see that woman as open-minded as you said. Isn't she here to avenge the death of the cadres and take revenge on me?"

"To her, this is not revenge. She just wants to deal with you as a threat. She also wants to see who can kill her cadres. If possible, she wants to recruit such a capable person as her own. If she can't recruit him, she should destroy such an enemy. It's a very simple and easy-to-understand idea, right?"

Li Nian thought of Ibaraki Douji and the Cricket Clan. Those two had indeed tried to persuade him, saying that they would let him go as long as he was willing to join Yuyuko. Therefore, they missed the opportunity to kill Li Nian at the first opportunity... Li Nian really understood Yuyuko's thoughts, and gradually understood what kind of guy Yuyuko was.

This is also the purpose of Tianruo Qingxian's explanation in such detail, he wanted Li Nian, who knew nothing about Yuyuko, to have an understanding of it, Tianruo continued.

"Hayuko is a person who cherishes old friendships. She will feel sorry for the death of Kidomaru and others who were loyal to her, but she will not be angry because she thinks it is natural to be killed by a strong person in a battle. She is ruthless to the weak, but respects the strong. The news of your victory over Tsuchigumo has reached her. She has remembered you and mentioned your name in a recent cadre meeting."

"Hmm? Wait, how did word get out that I beat Tsuchigumo?"

"You exposed yourself because of the conflict with Fujiki at the gate of Sobu High School. It was known that a powerful exorcist named Li Nian suddenly appeared in Chiba. Your fight with Tsuchigumo in the park caused a lot of noise and was seen by many people. At that time, the fact that you and Tsuchigumo had a fight was heard by many people. Tsuchigumo was suddenly beaten half to death and fell into a coma. The information sent to the Nura Group was not hidden well under the anger of the Nura Group. People who were paying attention had known about it and spread it out. Various kinds of information have been integrated by Yuyuko. You, Li Nian, have been known to be the strong man who defeated Tsuchigumo. Your name and face have been exposed in front of Yuyuko. She once said that she wanted to meet you, the great man, in person." Tian Ruo Qingxian said sarcastically, "Congratulations, Lord Li. After such a high-profile action, Yuyuko got what you wanted. It was a waste of all my efforts to cover up for you."

Isayama covered his face and said, "I knew that this guy would be exposed sooner or later if he continued to act recklessly...hasn't he already been exposed?"

"Hey, isn't this guy in danger?" Suzuka frowned, looking worried.

Li Nian narrowed his eyes slightly: "This is really... we need to pay attention."

It can be said that Li Nian's information has been completely exposed to Yuyuko... Originally, Li Nian was not a person doing secret activities. He was a student who went to school normally on weekdays and was also a famous guy in the school. Now that his name and face were known and the person was matched, it would not be difficult to investigate all kinds of information.

However, Li Nian had a premonition about this. He also understood that he had not been able to save Fujiki and Yato's lives since the seal barrier was broken and he left smoothly. The information about him would definitely be passed on to Yuyuko, and further, his victory over Tsuchigumo would be known, and it would definitely be taken seriously.

In the end, no matter what, Li Nian had to deal with Yuyuko personally. Li Nian, who had decided to attack Yuyuko the moment he saw her, had already anticipated that he would be exposed in front of Yuyuko - but after hearing what Tian Ruo Qingxian said, he realized that he would be exposed earlier than he thought.

Tian Ruo Qingxian knows so much, and it is obvious that he knows Yuyuko very well. Not only has he inserted his own people under Yuyuko's command, but some of these people have also infiltrated the [direct line] and have close contact with Yuyuko. The information Tian Ruo Qingxian got from there is certainly worth trusting and taking seriously.

"So, what's the matter with saying you want to come and see me in person?" Since it concerned himself, Li Nian also became concerned and asked Tian Ruoqingxian for further information.

"Of course I want to personally convince you, Lord Li, a strong man, and make you my subordinate - if I can't convince you, I will kill you."

"...No wonder you said, Master Tenruo, that I don't need to make any unnecessary provocations. Because without me saying anything, Yuyuko already wants to punish me personally. She would be happy to fight me one-on-one, right?"

"That's right. I suggest you stay away, Lord Li."

"It's rare that Tianruo and I have the same opinion. Li Nian, you should run away as soon as possible." Suzuka and Tianruo rarely thought the same thing and advised seriously: "No matter what, you can't fight against the attack of Yuyuko and her entire force."

"No, now that I've been exposed, I can't avoid it." Li Nian shook his head: "I have to kill her to prevent future troubles... If I can't kill her, I have to make her respect me, fear me, and be wary of me, recognize my strength, and weigh the price of attacking me openly or covertly, and really be cautious."

There is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days. Li Nian still wants to live a good life. After hearing what Tianruo said, Li Nian wanted to see Yuyuko even more quickly. At this point, he even felt that there was no time to lose and he should take the initiative to find Yuyuko.

Tian Ruo shook her head: "Yuyuko is also a great demon. She has a sense of dignity. She said she would come to you in person, so she probably wouldn't use other means. She is a very arrogant person. She disdains to use any despicable means on the strong people she values. She also intends to convince Lord Li and take you as his subordinate. So before the meeting, Lord Li should not worry about being attacked by anyone other than Yuyuko. He needs to be on guard, but he doesn't need to take it too seriously."

"The Yuyuko described by Tian Ruo-sama does seem like this kind of creature... but if such a big monster were to come looking for me personally, it wouldn't even consider the occasion or the impact, right? Tian Ruo-sama also knows that I'm still studying. I usually go to school during the day and live in the student dormitory at night. I don't want to be found by Yuyuko in that kind of situation." Li Nian continued, "And Yuyuko has subordinates. Who can guarantee that they won't take action on their own to deal with me?"

Tian Ruo thought about it and found that it was indeed the case.

Tian Ruo called Li Nian here this time just to tell him the information involving Li Nian. His original intention was to persuade Li Nian to hide and restrain his recent arrogant behavior... But Li Nian obviously had other ideas. He didn't want to hide. Instead, he took the initiative to contact Yuyuko and wanted to take the initiative to solve various problems... Tian Ruo also understood that his judgment was correct.

"Is that so... Then I hope that Master Li can really escape from Yuyuko's clutches unscathed."

"Think boldly, maybe I can kill Yuyuko in one fight, and then all problems will be solved." Li Nian laughed. Isayama and Suzuka didn't know why he could still laugh.

"I believe that Lord Li is not someone who will be killed easily... I also think that Yuyuko is not the same. Isayama-kun is right. Although Yuyuko is arrogant, she is a fox that has lived for a long time after all. She has the cunning of a fox, not the straightforward character of Tsuchigumo. I probably can't change your mind, Lord Li. I can only advise you to be careful."

"Thank you, Master Tianruo, for telling me this. It allows me to be prepared for danger."

"It's only natural. No need to thank me." Tian Ruo shook her head. "Since Lord Li is already an independent exorcist who is willing to protect the people, then the Yin Yang Department will of course do its best to protect you. Lord Li, don't worry too much if you are targeted by Yuyuko's forces. We have the Yin Yang Department behind you."

"...It feels good to be protected by an organization." Li Nian nodded vigorously in agreement.

Isayama said helplessly: "The organization can't stop you from committing suicide again and again."

Suzuka added coldly, "Yes, I feel more and more that sooner or later you will kill yourself."

"You think too much... However, my affairs are not worth mentioning. Since Amanaka-sama does not intend to solve the problem by dealing with Yuyuko, why did he come to the Nura Group to find them? Ah, if it is a secret that cannot be revealed, then there is no need to say it."

"…It's no secret. I just want to try to get the Chunura group to replace Yuyuko to lead the Monster Alliance." Tian Ruo did not hide his purpose and stated it directly.

At this point, Isayama and Suzuka no longer had the energy to get shocked by such a thing.

Li Nian stared and praised: "Wow, Minister Tian Ruo finally came up with a sinister method that suits his status. This method of dividing the enemy organization from within is brilliant."

Tian Ruo had a blank expression on her face: "Thank you for the compliment, Lord Li."

"Lord Tianruo." At this time, the car slowly stopped, and the driver who had been silent said softly: "We are here."

Everyone got off the car and stood in front of the gate of the vast Japanese-style house. Ushiki and Kurodabo from the Nura group were already waiting at the door. Seeing the head of the Curse Search Department and his entourage arriving as scheduled, Ushiki took a closer look at Li Nian who was following Tian Ruo. Then he spoke and took the initiative to greet Tian Ruo Qingxian, the leader: "You are Lord Tian Ruo, right?"

"Yes, I am Tian Ruo Qing Xian."

"...Please come in, the commander-in-chief and the Sandaime have been waiting for a long time."

Chapter 364: Seeing the Family Tradition of the Nura Group

Just like that, under the leadership of the two cadres, the group of exorcists entered the headquarters of the Nura Group.

Li Nian felt that he was at the end of the team.

Although he had a pleasant chat with Tian Ruo in the car and exchanged a lot of information, Li Nian was not so arrogant as to think that he could be on par with big figures like Tian Ruo Qingxian. He was very clear that at the moment he was just the boss's follower, and the only independent exorcist who was not on the Yin-Yang Bureau's staff. Naturally, he should not make a mistake in his primary and secondary positions in the team.

——Of course, the main reason was that he had no interest in chatting with the two executives of the Nura Group, saying those meaningless polite words, and making those meaningless sarcastic remarks. At this moment, he just wanted to take this opportunity to observe what the head of the Nura Group looked like.

This is also the reason why Li Nian agreed to follow Tian Ruo Qingxian here.

Tian Ruo and Niu Gui in front were talking about something, and it was just the expected polite words - and some intentional or unintentional tests hidden in the polite words, such as the Minister of the Curse Search Department seemed to be very busy slaying demons recently, and that he could feel that there were more human spies nearby recently... Li Nian was too lazy to listen to it, and just looked around.

At first glance, the entire mansion where the Nura Group's headquarters is located is very magnificent. It is a large Japanese-style mansion. Everyone knows that the guy living here must be of prominent status, either rich or noble. However, as the headquarters of the Nura Group, after entering, it actually feels a bit ordinary... I thought the headquarters of the monsters would be more, how to say, more special? Specifically, there are some special decorations to show their identity, status or nature of the monsters.
