The wooden clogs knocked crisply on the void, and Iizuna Marulong's figure disappeared into the dazzling star gate.

——On the other side of the gate is the military camp of Tengu Mountain that stretches for dozens of miles.

Thousands of Tengu warriors were training, and the dark wings covered half of the sky.

When the star gate shone brightly, all the warriors folded their wings and landed on the ground. The sound of armor clashing was like thunder rolling over the mountains.

"Welcome the Great Tengu!"

Amidst the thunderous roars, Iizuna Maru Ryu's battle skirt fluttered in the lingering glow of the starlight.

She stood proudly on the platform, gazing at the Tengu Army ready to go, with a stern arc at the corner of her lips.

They were all pure-blooded Tengu warriors, with wings as black as ink and armor as sharp as a mirror, without a trace of Crow Tengu or White Wolf Tengu mixed in.

This elite force composed purely of upper-level Tengu is the true strength of Tengu Mountain.

Tengu Mountain, which has survived for thousands of years in Shikoku by creating pressure on itself, has accumulated tremendous power.

Three thousand mid-level Tengu and thirty-six high-level Tengu, such strength is simply crushing the dog demons and leopard cats of the former Western Country. The difference between the two is like heaven and earth.

But one big monster can resist thousands of troops. The strength of Tengu Mountain is still a little lacking in front of the royal court.

And this level of skill may be difficult to achieve even after thousands or even tens of thousands of years.

(Each great monster is a miracle that cannot be replicated in the world.)

Iizuna Marulong closed his eyes slightly, thinking of those names that dominated an era -

Yakumo Yukari's changes in reality and illusion, Toga King's unparalleled tyranny, which one of them is not the embodiment of the creation of heaven and earth?

This level of realm cannot be achieved by practicing hard for thousands of years.

But the power of devouring and bestowing that the Touya King possesses...

"Ah......"

An almost inaudible sigh dissipated in the wind.

But when she opened her eyes again, a burning fighting spirit was burning in them.

"Boys!"

Iizuna Maru Ryu flapped his wings and flew into the air, his red and black battle robe fluttering in the wind like a battle flag stained with blood and fire.

She stood in the air, her bright red eyes overlooking the three thousand elite Tengu soldiers, her voice like the clanging of metal, full of heroic spirit.

"Today, we are ordered by King Douya to march on the Kyushu Continent!"

Her eyes swept over each soldier like a blade, and every word was sonorous.

"This is the first battle since Tengu Mountain surrendered to the royal court—I hope you will all unite your efforts to defeat this rebellion!"

"Let the Four Seas and Eight Wastelands know why Tengu Mountain has been the only one to stand tall among the Four Kingdoms for a thousand years!"

"Roar--!"

She was responded with a war cry that shattered the sky. Three thousand black wings spread out simultaneously, and a mighty demonic aura rushed straight into the sky.

Under the wings of these rolling clouds, Iizuna Maru Ryu's long hair danced wildly against the wind, like a peerless demon sword about to be unsheathed.

(Even if we can never reach the heights of those monsters, we must use this war to prove that the sharp edge of Tengu Mountain is enough to carve out a piece of heaven and earth in this chaotic world!)

She suddenly waved her sleeves, and a starry sky gate across the sky suddenly opened in the clouds.

The brilliant starry sky was flowing, and the gray sky of Kyushu region was faintly visible behind the door.

"Tengu Mountain belongs to——"

"Follow me on the expedition!"

Three thousand elite Tengu took off at the same time, their dark wings covering the sky and the sun.

The vast demonic energy transformed into rolling black clouds, reflecting the starry sky gate.

Thirty-six high-level Tengu were the first to transform into streams of light and disappear into the gate.

Then, three thousand mid-level Tengu formed a battle formation and poured into the star gate like a black torrent.

Iizuna Maru Ryuu looked back at the Great Demon who was staring at her on the top of the mountain, turned his back and gave a thumbs up.

As the last wing disappeared, the starry sky gate across the sky closed, leaving only a gradually dissipating star mark in the clouds.

"It's not easy to accumulate family wealth, Marulong, don't squander it!"

Riluoyuan scratched her head. Being able to control the extent of her desires, she decided to be a peace ambassador - the world of martial arts is not all about fighting and killing. Only if you and I are well, can everyone be well!

………………

Senluo City, the home of harmony.

Akasha was wearing a simple long dress, and her long pink hair was gently tied up with a bow headband.

She held the harp in her arms, and as her slender fingers plucked it, a melody as clear as spring water flowed out.

The children sitting on the carpet opened their bright eyes and swayed their little hands to the rhythm.

When the last note fell like a dewdrop, crisp applause broke out in the classroom.

"One more song!" The little girl with pigtails grabbed the hem of her skirt.

Akasha gently rubbed the child's head and was about to answer when she suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure standing quietly outside the door.

Beside the vermilion lacquered corridor pillars, a shrine maiden in white clothes and scarlet hakama stood with her hands behind her back. The sunlight gave her a layer of gold. Although it was a sacred attire, it revealed the fierce aura of a warrior on the battlefield.

(Grand Minister Cuizi...)

"Can I play the bunny song for everyone next time?"

Akasha gently leaned the harp against the wall and bowed in the reluctant eyes of the children.

Tsuiko stood at the door, looking at Akasha who was walking towards her, with a faint smile on her lips.

"Akasha, you are a gentle person." Da Sikong's voice was full of appreciation.

"Even in the royal court, there are not many monsters as friendly to humans as you. We can communicate with each other later."

"Your Excellency, Grand Marshal, is overly flattering."

Akasha lowered her eyes slightly, her long pink hair fluttering in the breeze. "I just like interacting with innocent children. I don't want to get involved in the affairs of the royal court."

"Oh, is it so?"

Cui Zi's scrutinizing gaze made Akasha feel a little uncomfortable, and the meaningful question reminded her of the erotic memories in the devouring space.

The man's warm big hands seemed to be still stirring her heart.

Akasha was about to emphasize her position, but the witch didn't give her a chance to speak.

Cuizi said, "Something has happened in Jiuzhou. The gate between the two worlds that Arkad wanted to open has brought the alien creatures behind it to Jiuzhou. Douya wants you and me to go there."

She stared into the emerald eyes of the True Ancestor girl and asked seriously, "What are your thoughts?"

Akasha raised her eyes, a hint of bitterness curled up at the corner of her lips, and asked, "Does my opinion matter to that man?"

"Whether it's important or not depends on how you think and see it."

Cui Zi said calmly, "At least, you are still living freely, and you can continue to protect those innocent smiles. You also possess a power that no one can ignore."

"Freedom? Smile? Power?"

Akasha smiled self-deprecatingly, running her slender fingers across her neck.

"It's just the chain around my neck, it just has a new owner."

"If you think like this, your life will become more and more painful." Cuizi looked to the side, smiled and nodded at Zouzi who was walking towards her holding Yunmu, and continued to speak to Akasha.

"I have no intention of defending that disrespectful man, nor of exonerating him."

"Right is right, wrong is wrong. This does not change because of differences in identity or power."

Douya has always been straightforward when it comes to his feelings towards women.

Cuizi naturally knew what happened to Akasha.

But if both sides put themselves in each other's shoes and consider the utilitarian perspective of Douya and the royal court, taking down Akasha by any means necessary is not only not wrong, but also a very correct thing to do.

But from the perspective of men and women, it is undoubtedly a big mistake, so wrong that Cui Zi wants to cut off the root of Dou Ya's troubles with a sword.

"Since you are not seeking death, then live well."

"The vast royal court can accommodate a True Ancestor who only wants to live a peaceful life."

After Cui Zi finished speaking, she walked towards Zou Zi with light steps.

The well-behaved Yunmu realized that the conversation was over, and immediately jumped out of Zouzi's soft arms and ran towards Cuizi happily, with her fluffy tail swaying behind her like a leaping flame.

There were subtle noises behind her. Akasha turned her head slightly and her eyes fell on the windowsill - several children were looking out curiously, their clear eyes filled with ignorance and curiosity.

She clenched her teeth and her fingertips unconsciously clenched her sleeves.

She didn't believe that the shameless man would let her go so easily.

Rather than being called here and there like a firefly, it is better to occupy a high position in the royal court and protect everything that you want to protect!

Akasha turned around and walked towards Cuizi, who was touching Yunmu's head, and said firmly.

"Master Dasikong, I need an authority worthy of the name of True Ancestor!"

Cuizi raised her eyes, her amber pupils reflecting the resolute figure of the young True Ancestor, and a look of relief appeared at the corners of her lips.

"My duties are to monitor the various races, inspect the various regions, investigate and punish those who commit misconduct, and ensure that the Iron Law of the Royal Court is carried out without hindrance."

"I'm in need of a Minister of Justice who has a good command of the law and the criminal justice system. If you can treat humans and demons equally, I will recommend you to Dou Ya."

Douya has everything about the young girl True Ancestor in his hands, which is just right for the position of the Minister of Justice, which requires a thorough understanding of the will of the royal court.

After Akasha nodded decisively, she could hear Douya's chuckle that was rooted in her heart.

That apparently gentle laugh made Akasha grit her teeth in hatred.

Noticing this, Tsuiko reached out and patted Akasha's shoulder.

"I remember Dou Ya said that if a royal family breaks the law, they are guilty just like commoners. The Minister of Justice has the right to point out the king's crimes."

"Let us work together, from top to bottom, to create a truly peaceful and prosperous world."

Mica looked left and right and felt that the big white dog would soon suffer the consequences of its own actions.
