Traveler of the River of Time and Space

No Source Power Value was obtained, but the "Hundred Tales" given to him by the Lantern Ghost absorbed some eerie Yin energy from those minor ghosts.

——"Lantern Ghost."

——"Parasitic Soul."

——"Tomb Fire."

The three types of minor ghosts recorded in "Hundred Tales" seemed to come alive at this moment, appearing vividly as if real. The ghostly flames floating nearby were also consumed by the book.

Soul-Binding Attribute?

Su Ziyu gradually approached the drunkard, who had already fainted from fright.

"What shall we do with this living soul?" Nine Lives Cat landed beside Su Ziyu, holding a ghostly flame like a dough, kneading it. She looked up and asked.

Su Ziyu shook his head and said, "I don't know. Let's put it in a safe place first."

The souls of the living shouldn't enter the Underworld.

It seems he accidentally came here without realizing it, which is quite mysterious.

"Wait!"

"He seems about to die!" Nine Lives Cat scratched her ear and said.

Before them, the living soul was gradually fading and becoming insubstantial, and then his soul directly floated up, turning into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.

"Did he die of fright?" Nine Lives Cat asked in confusion.

Su Ziyu frowned and said, "No. It seems he was killed by someone!"

Tap, tap, tap.

A series of urgent footsteps sounded, soon followed by a woman in a bright red kimono coming from the direction of Rashomon, the Bone Woman whom Su Ziyu had seen before. Upon seeing Su Ziyu, she exclaimed urgently, "Master Su!"

"Demons have entered the Mortal World!"

"Lord Judge requests you to hurry over."

What?

Demons here have gone into the Mortal World? No wonder the ghosts on Vermilion Bird Dao are so few tonight.

The fastest way to enter the Mortal World now is Rashomon. Su Ziyu, along with Nine Lives Cat, quickly moved to the vicinity of Rashomon. After passing through a peculiar barrier, a scene of Blaze appeared before them.

Raging flames were spreading near Vermilion Bird Dao.

The cries of others echoed nearby, along with a faint sinister laughter.

"Whoever gets rid of more demons tonight wins, how about it?" Nine Lives Cat looked at the raging inferno around, a bit excited as she leapt onto the rooftop, glanced back at Su Ziyu, and said.

As a demon, she wasn't very concerned with these mortals.

"Alright." Su Ziyu nodded gently, grasped a Tomb Fire and it dissipated in his hand.

Not far away lay a corpse, only half of it remaining, its head seemingly eaten.

The attire was identical to the initial living soul he had seen.

This is the guy who accidentally entered Ghost Capital, and as he did so, various demons also entered the Mortal World.

"Night Parade of a Hundred Demons?" Su Ziyu leapt and landed on the rooftop.

Now, around Vermilion Bird Dao, numerous ghostly fires floated, with spectral silhouettes in the dark appearing and disappearing, emitting sinister laughter, while screams and wails pierced the scene as buildings collapsed in the inferno, and the streets lined with numerous corpses, as it seemed the demons became highly aggressive upon entering the Mortal World.

A gust of sinister wind swept through.

A massive ghost head appeared in the darkness, with a diameter of three to four meters, adorned with a pair of horns, its hollow eye sockets flickered with two ghostly fires. It laughed madly, rushing down Vermilion Bird Dao, opening its bloody maw to swallow living people whole.

"Pollution detected!"

"Pollution detected!"

A series of alarms rang.

Su Ziyu noticed these demons appeared different after entering the Mortal World.

In the Underworld, encountering these demons, the Space-Time Monitor System had no indications, but now with just a glance, two alerts sounded.

——"Ghost Head!"

——"Reincarnation Dao!"

A massive wheel rolled towards the direction of Tsuchimikado, with a sinister ghost face at its center. Upon seeing people, it opens its mouth to inhale, a soul thread immediately flying out from the living's body, consumed in a blink. Where the wheel passed, corpses lay scattered, the living couldn't escape its clutches, regardless of age or gender.

No idea of the casualties.

But there weren't many living nearby now, only cold corpses everywhere.

——"Thunder Strike!"

A thunderbolt streaked across the night sky, accompanied by crackling electric light, instantly evaporating the ghost head devouring the living, leaving a black bead at its original spot.

"Gained 2 Source Power Value!"

Su Ziyu's figure descended from above, with the Meteor Longsword forming a streak of light, plunging directly into the flames.

"Gained 1 Source Power Value!"

A giant lantern ghost setting fires was split in half by him, followed by a Spiritual Lightning flying from his palm, instantly dispersing the ghost within the lantern fire. After spending a point of Divinity Value to enhance Spiritual Energy to LV6, Su Ziyu finally could use Spiritual Lightning as a regular combat method.

Ordinary physical attacks had little effect on demons, and the damage from Meteor wasn't sufficient to kill them utterly; Spiritual Lightning proved quite effective.

"Barrier! Amulet!"

Other battle sounds arose from the darkness, and Su Ziyu suddenly heard a strong male voice, soon seeing an invisible barrier enveloping the area around Vermilion Bird Dao, as Yin Yang Masters dressed in traditional attire appeared nearby, led by a handsome middle-aged man, appearing fortyish.

Abe no Seimei?

It should be him! No other Yin Yang Master possessed such strong Mana!

At this time, Abe no Seimei should be over sixty, yet still appeared as a middle-aged man. Several Yin Yang Masters accompanied him, along with a woman wearing a fox mask. These Yin Yang Masters quickly cast spells summoning Shikigami, surrounding from three sides, heading straight for the rampaging Reincarnation Dao.

"Demon's aura!"

By now, Su Ziyu had donned the Invisibility Cloak, yet before approaching the Yin Yang Masters, he smelled a demon's aura.

The strongest scent came from the woman wearing the fox mask.

Secondly, surprisingly from Abe no Seimei!

The famed Yin Yang Master of Fusang bore a scent of demon, akin to the Guhuo Bird encountered previously. But amid the demon scent on Abe no Seimei, there was also a human scent, though at this moment completely masked by demon's aura.

"Is it true that Abe no Seimei's mother was a fox immortal named Ge Ye?"

"Could it really be true?"

Abe no Seimei's father, Abe Yosai, was a subordinate noble under the Chief Senior Servant Officer, and it was said he saved a white fox from Evil Right Guardian, that fox being the fox immortal Ge Ye, who had cultivated for years in Izumi Country's Shintai Forest. The fox immortal later transformed into human form, fell in love with Abe Yosai, and bore Abe no Seimei.

At the age of five, Abe no Seimei accidentally saw his mother's fox form, upon which Ge Ye abandoned her child, returning alone to the forest.

This foremost Yin Yang Master of Fusang was actually a half-demon!

This period, Su Ziyu had interacted with many demons, and their scent was distinctive. Abe no Seimei indeed bore the scent of demons.

Who is that woman wearing the fox mask?

His mother, the fox immortal 'Ge Ye'?

No.

This demon's strength seemed lacking, merely able to summon Fox Fire for attack, unlike a formidable Great Demon.

Most demons that emerged this time were the Su type, belonging to undistinguished spectral entities.

With assistance from these Yin Yang Masters, the minor ghosts around were soon cleared away, and just then a gust of sinister wind came howling, accompanied by piercing laughter, a red ghost face with horns manifested amid flames, gradually forming a human figure.

——"Prajna (Red)!"
