Chapter 375: The Demon Journey to the West (Part 2)

"You said the Journey to the West monster is in hell! Then what the hell is that Journey to the West monster I saw in Shengzhi Temple?"

Gu Quan was slightly startled. Wasn't the Journey to the West demon in the human world? How could it appear in Hell? Could it be that someone in Hell thought the tree was too dangerous and moved it to the human world? Isn't this a bit irresponsible?

"It's like this. The Journey to the West monster was originally in Hell. Although no one knew why it appeared in Hell, Yama didn't pay much attention to it at the time. But over time, the Journey to the West monster absorbed a lot of death power in Hell and began to grow wildly. Yama realized the seriousness of the matter at the time, so he used many means to finally seal the Journey to the West monster. At that time, it also alarmed many powerful people in Hell. At the same time, it also united with the gods outside of Hell to completely seal the Journey to the West monster. However, this seal could not suppress the Journey to the West monster for too long. As time passed, the seal of the Journey to the West monster gradually weakened, and then a branch broke out of the ground and appeared in the human world!"

Speaking of this, a hint of sadness appeared on Shiki Yingji's face. In fact, this was also related to herself.

If it weren't for his own lack of ability, the demons from the West wouldn't have wreaked havoc to this extent.

Coupled with the strange changes that have occurred in the Westward Journey Demon, Shiki Yingji believes that the consequences caused by the Westward Journey Demon will be more terrible than the rampage of the undead.

Honestly, it was also because no one in Hell took the demon cherry seriously at the time, otherwise they would have joined forces with most of the powerful to eliminate it long ago. However, this could not be blamed on Yama at the time. After all, the Journey to the West demon didn't cause any major trouble in Hell after that, so in the end, everyone subconsciously ignored the Journey to the West demon, until now...

If the Journey to the West demon had been dealt with at that time, this kind of thing would not have happened now!

"I'm so sorry, I'm sure many people have died because of the Journey to the West monster..."

It is normal for Shiki Eiji to feel so guilty. After all, the current situation of the Journey to the West Demon Association is closely related to Hell. So it is inevitable that Shiki Eiji, who is full of responsibility, will blame herself for this matter.

Koizumi didn't take it to heart. He didn't know those people, and he wasn't a saint who would feel sad about other people's life or death. What he cared about more was Yuyuko, so Koizumi was more worried about Yuyuko's affairs.

But then again, the demon cherry blossom in the Saigyouji family is just a branch in hell...

A branch was only that big, and the power of death was so strong that the Yin-Yang masters of this world were completely helpless. If it was the real body of the Westward Journey Monster, wouldn't it be a disaster?... Gu Quan's face was a little heavy.

"Putting aside the people who died because of the Saigyou Monster, I want to ask, do you know Saigyouji Youyouzi?"

Before asking any other questions, Koizumi thought it necessary to first ask if the other party knew Saigyouji Yuyuko.

Shiki Eiji was slightly startled. Saigyouji Yuyuko? Who was this person? Was she related to the Saigyou demon?

After all, Shiki Eihime is a god, not a so-called heroic spirit. If she was summoned as a downgraded Servant, then she might know about Saigyouji Yuyuko, who had a relationship with her in the future. After all, it was she who made Saigyouji Yuyuko the master of the underworld in the future. It's just that Shiki Eihime is still alive in the world, so she is not aware of this matter.

Koizumi couldn't help but show a speechless look on his face. It turned out that the other party didn't know about Saigyouji.

But this seems normal, after all, Shiki Yingji has always been responsible for solving the problem of the Journey to the West monster!

"Wait a minute! What was that Youyouzi you were talking about? What did that demon cherry do in the human world?"

Although Shiki Eihime's expression made Koizumi feel a little strange, he still told it honestly.

After all, Shiki Eihime should be more experienced in this kind of thing. After telling her, she might be able to find a way to free Yuyuko. Koizumi very much hopes that Yuyuko can be freed, but Koizumi seems to have forgotten that for Gensokyo, Yuyuko's death is necessary. If Yuyuko does not die, the distortion of this singularity will be even more serious.

Slowly, as Koizumi continued his narration, Shiki Eihime's expression grew increasingly heavy.

As if she had thought of something terrible, Shiki Yingji's hand holding the token became tighter and tighter.

"According to what you said, that person named Saigyouji Youyouzi has completely developed a very strong symbiotic relationship with the Saigyou demon. This symbiotic relationship is almost impossible to sever even with your demonic eyes."

As she said this, Shiki Eiji glanced at Ryougi Shiki, her eyes flashing with deep meaning.

If it was the one inside her, maybe it could be done, but...

According to Shiki Yingji's speculation, the guy controlling the Westward Journey Demon's true form should be...

Originally, Shiki Yingji was still wondering who had the ability to control the Journey to the West monster, but now she has guessed it.

"Then Youyouzi has no way out!" Guquan's face suddenly changed.

The next moment, Shiki Eiji revealed a stern expression, and stared at Koizumi with a pair of eyes that were extremely serious.

"Don't forget! You are responsible for correcting the distortions in this world. As long as the distortions are corrected, what is supposed to happen will still happen. Don't you understand this? So even if you save her now, it will be in vain in the end!"

Shiki Eihime's words left Koizumi speechless. What she said seemed to make sense.

And according to Reimu, Yuyuko Saigyouji also became a ghost in the end.

That is to say, Yuyuko Saigyouji must become a ghost so that the world will not become more distorted.

"Also, I know that Kyoto is surrounded by deathly aura. Let me tell you first: someone is controlling the Westward Journey Demon, and it's actually the demon's true form. I've sealed the demon by activating the Sealing Technique of Hell, thereby suppressing the riot of its true form. Only in this way can I delay its eruption. However, my power is limited. Even if I use all my strength, I can only barely seal it. I can't fully restore the power of the previous seal."

"And right now, the deathly aura surrounding Kyoto is the work of that person. She wants to turn Kyoto into a paradise of death, and through the outbreak of the Westward Journey Demon in the human world, she wants to completely break the seal of my hell and liberate the Westward Journey Demon completely!"

"Based on my estimation of the other party's strength, once the Westward Journey Demon completely erupts, this world will completely collapse..."

"This—that's exactly what the other party is trying to do!"

Chapter 376 Warning

Shiki Eiji's words shocked Koizumi and the others. Although they realized that the source of Kyoto's death energy might be unusual, they hadn't expected such a conspiracy to be hidden within. It was truly difficult for Koizumi and the others to calm down. This time, the enemy could actually control the death energy of the Westward Journey Demon itself. It was truly...

It seems that this battle is not as simple as imagined, and from the appearance of Konpaku Youmu, it can be seen that the enemy this time is probably the summoned heroic spirit Saigyouji Yuyuko.

But what puzzled Koizumi was why Saigyouji Yuyuko would do such a thing?

Judging from what Reimu told her about Saigyouji Yuyuko's personality, she shouldn't be someone who wants to destroy the world.

Reimu was also thinking deeply at this moment, what was the reason why Saigyouji Yuyuko wanted to do this?

Given that foodie ghost's personality, it doesn't seem like the type of person who would want to do something as boring as this.

When he was alive, that guy only wanted to make the Westward Journey Monster bloom once, so he deprived all things of the breath of spring.

But that was just to know who was hiding under the Journey to the West monster. After becoming a Heroic Spirit Servant, she should have known all this. The Heroic Spirit would be given the corresponding knowledge by the Holy Grail the moment it descended.

So after knowing who is under the Journey to the West Demon, Youyouzi should not want to cause trouble anymore.

As for Yuyuko regretting her past life...how could that be possible? Could that gluttonous ghost care about such things? That guy ate and slept all day, without a single worry. Would he want to destroy the world because of something like that?

If Reimu didn't know Yuyuko's personality before her death, she might have doubted it. However, knowing what Yuyuko's personality was like before her death, Koizumi and Reimu firmly believed that Yuyuko would never regret anything she did in her life.

How could such a gentle Yuyuko take revenge on the world out of regret?

Seeing Koizumi and Reimu lost in thought, Shiki Eiji's eyes flickered with a hint of meaning.

"It seems you already know who did this, but I advise you, before you go to the location of the Westward Journey Demon's true body, you'd better deal with the dead energy outside of Kyoto first. If such a variable appears in Kyoto, who knows when it will break the Kyoto barrier and break the seal of Hell. Then the Westward Journey Demon will completely erupt. Even if you try to stop it then, it will be too late. Do you understand?"

Koizumi and Reimu nodded silently. It was true. If they didn't get things done in Kyoto, they would run into problems sooner or later. So, no matter what, they had to resolve the Kyoto issue first.

I originally thought that what happened in Kyoto was similar to the undead rampage, but I didn't expect that someone did it on purpose.

What should he do next... Koizumi's eyes flickered with brilliance.

The next moment, Koizumi seemed to have thought of something and turned his gaze to Shiki Eihime in front of him.

"Lord Yama, do you know where the true form of the Westward Journey Monster is? If it were you, you would know it!"

After all, they will have to fight against the real body of the Westward Journey Demon later. If they don't know where the real body of the Westward Journey Demon is, wouldn't it be a waste of time to look for it? If possible, Gu Quan doesn't want to waste meaningless time.

Shiki Yingji was silent for a moment, then she sighed slightly and thought it was okay to tell others about it.

In fact, Shiki Eiji was just worried that Koizumi and the others were planning to attack the Westward Journey Demon directly.

The Journey to the West monster's true form isn't that easy to deal with, and the location of the Journey to the West monster's true form is somewhat special, so...

But after thinking for a moment, Shiki Yingji decided not to hide it anymore. At this time, she had no choice but to trust them.

"The true form of the Westward Journey Demon is in the Underworld, and the Underworld is on the other side of Hell. After you have dealt with the matter in Kyoto, come to Hell. I will let Komachi guide you to where the Westward Journey Demon is. But remember, you must be sure of this, otherwise I will not let you go to the Underworld. After all, without strength, you are just seeking death!"

Saying this, Shiki Eiji unleashed the full force of her body, and the intense pressure made Koizumi and the others feel heavy-hearted.

This power is so strong, should I say it's worthy of being called Enma-sama? Koizumi grumbled inwardly.

Even Reimu felt a wave of pressure when facing Shiki Eihime.

Ryougi Shiki's eyes instantly transformed into demonic eyes with colorful spiral patterns, but when her gaze landed on Shiki Eiji, her pupils suddenly shrank, and a look of disbelief appeared on her face, because—

"There's no dead line... I can't see the other person's dead line at all... How is this possible..."

Upon hearing this, Shiki Eiji turned her gaze to Ryougi Shiki, her face still serious.

"I'm Yama from the Hall of Right and Wrong. How could you possibly see my death so easily? However, your use of the Mystic Eyes of Death Perception is far too crude. This world not only leads to death, but also grants immortal beings the concept of death. Compared to that person in the Valley, your understanding of death is still very rudimentary..."

As she said this, Shiki Eihime smiled, a rare moment for her, causing Ryougi Shiki to frown slightly.

"What's more, this is hell. Let's not talk about the human world, but if you can see the death line in hell, then I, Yama, am too useless..."

Koizumi nodded gently. Indeed, regardless of Shiki Eihime being in the human world, this was her territory. How could she be so easily discovered by Ryougi Shiki? So, it was better to not worry about it.

"With your strength, if you challenge the real body of the Journey to the West Demon now, it would be no different from seeking death. Unless you can weaken the opponent's combat effectiveness first, otherwise, with your combat effectiveness, it will be very difficult to defeat the opponent!" After saying this, Shiki Eiji glanced at Komachi. If Komachi joined, it would be much easier.

Unfortunately, Komachi still has her own responsibilities now, and it is not easy for them to interfere in this matter.

After being hit so hard by Shiki Eihime, Koizumi and the others fell silent for a while, but a look of dissatisfaction appeared on Musashi's face. Being hit so directly by the other party, even Musashi couldn't help but feel unhappy.

However, she also had to admit that compared to Shiki Yingji in front of her, the strength of her group was indeed not that good.

But the other party is a god and I am a human. Don’t you think it’s too much to compare gods and humans?

To be honest, Musashi really wanted to complain like this, but he also knew that now was not the time to complain about this.

"So... Lord Yanma, do you have time to help us train?"

As Koizumi said this with a smile, gaps slowly appeared behind him, and a huge amount of magical power began to brew.

A strange light flashed in Shiki Yingji's eyes, and there was a breath of monster in the gap. It seemed that she had underestimated the other party.

Chapter 377 Youyouzi's Loneliness and Enlightenment

When Koizumi was still in hell, things were not completely peaceful at Shengji Temple.

After all, these magical monks have been thinking about Saigyo and Saigyoji Yuyuko, and there are more than just magical monks in the Saigyoji family, so the Onmyoji will come to Moriji Temple from time to time. What's more, the situation of Moriji Temple is known to all the Onmyoji and magical monks in Kyoto. Now that Kyoto is surrounded by death, the first thing everyone realizes is undoubtedly that it was caused by Moriji Temple.

If they weren't afraid of Youyouzi and Xixingyao, the Onmyoji would have come to Koizumi before he met Youyouzi. These Onmyoji and magic monks are really patient enough to wait until now to show up.

However, Onmyoji and Mana Monk cannot disturb Youyouzi for the time being, because there is a soul demon guarding the gate.

If they planned to force their way in, then Hunpo Yaoji would undoubtedly strike them with a sword.

In addition, there is more than one Soul Youki guarding the gate now, and Kirisame Marisa and Kiyohime are also watching the area.

They also don't want these things to disturb Youyouko, so they usually stop the Onmyoji and the Mana Monk when they come here, but Qingji usually doesn't go up to help because she is a monster, and Marisa also knows that she can't give the other party a reason to attack. The Onmyoji and the Mana Monk just can't take action at the moment, but if the monster is here, they will have a reason.

Of course, if things get to the point where they have to take action, the Onmyoji and the Mana Monk will also force their way in.

Youyouzi silently looked at the Journey to the West monster in front of him, with a hint of loneliness appearing on his face.

Now that Koizumi and Reimu are not here, Marisa is too enthusiastic and she can't stand it, but she won't refuse her kindness. It's just that Yuyuko would rather chat with Koizumi and Reimu, but they are not here now.

Of course, this is not the reason why Youyouzi is lonely, mainly because she also knows what is happening outside.

Recently, the Onmyoji and the magical monk have been making a big fuss outside Moriji Temple. She is not deaf and she knows what is happening outside. But for the sake of Youki, Marisa and Kiyohime, she can only pretend that she knows nothing.

However, Youyouzi knew very well that sooner or later he would die at the hands of the Westward Journey Demon; it was just a matter of time.

Now that she has met a good friend for whom she is willing to give everything, Youyouzi believes that she has no regrets at all.

The only thing that worried her was whether her friends would be sad after seeing her die...

"Hey! Yuyuko! I've brought Saki to see you!" Suddenly, Marisa's energetic voice came.

Youyouzi, who had originally looked dejected, quickly stood up with a gentle smile on her face.

Every time I see this smile, Marisa always says with emotion that I am afraid I will not be able to face that foodie ghost in the future. Every time I think of Saigyouji Yuyuko, I probably only remember this gentle woman, and forget about that foodie.

"Marisa! Saki! You two are back... It seems you brought a lot of delicious food..."

Looking at Marisa and Saki who were carrying a lot of delicious food, Yuyuko's face was filled with surprise.

But then, Youyouzi glanced behind the two of them and found that Qingji didn't seem to follow.

"Eh...are you two the only ones here? Isn't Ms. Qingji here? Didn't Ms. Qingji go out with you?"

Saki quickly got into Youyouzi's arms. She really liked being in her arms. She always felt that Youyouzi's arms gave her a motherly feeling, so she really liked to play pranks in Youyouzi's arms.

Marisa didn't care so much. It should be said that she was not very good at taking care of children.

"Yuyuko-sister... Kiyohime-sister said she wanted to buy something for brother. Marisa-sister and I wanted to help, but Kiyohime-sister said she wanted to give brother a surprise and wouldn't show the gift to anyone else, so..."

Having said that, Shahi couldn't help but pout, with a look of dissatisfaction on his face.

She also wants to buy a gift for her brother. Sister Kiyohime is like this. Whenever something related to her brother happens, she always tries to monopolize it, giving people a very domineering feeling. Sister Marisa is really something. She doesn't even intend to argue at all!

Youyouzi couldn't help but reveal a look of understanding. Only an idiot could fail to see the feelings that Qingji had for Koizumi.

She kept calling him "Darling Daling" and everyone could tell that Kiyohime was interested in Koizumi...

Of course, to some extent, Yuyuko also has some feelings for Koizumi, who first regarded her as a friend.

But at the moment, she knew that sooner or later she would die at the hands of the Westward Journey Demon, so she suppressed this feeling.

"By the way, why haven't Koizumi-kun and Miss Reimu returned yet? It seems like they've been gone for ages!"

When she said this, there was a hint of loneliness in Yuyuko's tone, which made Marisa feel a little helpless.

There's no way. Now that Youyouko has friends, she inexplicably starts to fear loneliness.
