599: Chapter 599 A Hundred Ghosts Unleashed!

"Nani?"

Uesugi Megumi was stunned, then became agitated.

"Im... Impossible!"

"You are Lady Tamamo-no-Mae!"

"You are the guardian deity passed down through generations in the Yin Yang Society!"

"How could you possibly be called Daji?"

Uesugi Megumi became more and more agitated as she spoke, staggering forward two steps.

"And my Lady, have you forgotten?"

"Forty years ago, you even formed a contract with me!"

As she spoke, her eyes turned red.

Forty years ago, when she had just become an Onmyoji of the Emperors Gate, she had the honor of signing a contract with Tamamo-no-Mae once.

Although it was only a brief cooperation before she officially entered the Emperors Gate, that experience was something she would never forget for the rest of her life.

Tamamo-no-Mae's power, her majesty, and that kingly aura of looking down upon all living beings were deeply branded into her bones.

It was precisely because of that cooperation that she was able to rise step by step within the Emperors Gate, eventually taking the position of Second Elder.

Therefore, her adoration for Tamamo-no-Mae was etched into her very soul.

But at this moment, the idol she had worshipped for forty years actually said her name was Daji?

How was this possible?

Daji's delicate brows furrowed, and a hint of chilliness flashed in her eyes.

"I'm warning you one last time."

"Master doesn't like that name. If you call me that again, I'll eat you."

Uesugi Megumi's mind went blank.

Master?

Who was she calling Master?

No generation of Onmyoji had ever been qualified to have Tamamo-no-Mae call them Master.

And...

Tamamo-no-Mae's previous contractor was Seimei Kangyue, whose corpse was already cold. Where did she get a Master from???

Could it be...

Uesugi Megumi subconsciously turned her head, her gaze landing on Ye Chen, and her pupils suddenly constricted.

No... No way, right?

Could the Master Tamamo-no-Mae spoke of be this young man from the Dragon Kingdom?

How is that possible!

Tamamo-no-Mae is the King of a Hundred Demons who has lived for over a thousand years!

She is the most powerful existence in Japan!

She is a legendary Great Yokai that countless Onmyoji could not tame in their entire lives!

How could she possibly recognize a Dragon Kingdom kid in his early twenties as her Master?

However.

Before Uesugi Megumi could recover from her shock.

Daji had already turned around and looked toward Ye Chen.

The coldness on that face transformed into a charming smile.

Then.

She folded her hands in front of her, bowed slightly, and performed a standard ancient salute.

"Master, I have fortunately fulfilled my mission and have already wiped out the entire Yin Yang Society."

"A total of over thirty-seven thousand people have all become my nourishment."

"I can be considered to have successfully resisted the Japanese, right?"

Her voice was sweet and delicate, as soft as freshly steamed rice cakes—where was there even a hint of the King of a Hundred Demons' majesty left?

But her words were quite explosive...

So much so.

That the entire place erupted.

"What?!"

"The person who wiped out the Yin Yang Society was actually Tamamo-no-Mae?"

"Impossible! Tamamo-no-Mae is the guardian deity of the Yin Yang Society, how could she turn around and destroy it?"

"Are you deaf? She just said it, she's not called Tamamo-no-Mae, she's called Daji!"

"Okaasan, am I dreaming?"

...

Shock was written all over everyone's faces.

Uesugi Megumi, in particular, completely broke down.

Her whole body was as if struck by lightning, and her voice stammered.

"Na... Nani?!"

"My Lady, what... what are you saying?"

"How could you possibly go and wipe out the Yin Yang Society?"

"You are the guardian deity of Japan! And the most powerful Shikigami of the Yin Yang Society!"

She couldn't believe it!

The dignified guardian deity of Japan would actually defect to the Dragon Kingdom!

Daji turned her head and glanced at her.

"Guardian deity?"

"Who told you that I was a guardian deity?"

Uesugi Megumi's lips trembled: "But... but you clearly... clearly were the Shikigami of successive generations of Onmyoji..."

"Shikigami?"

Daji's smile deepened.

"I was sealed by those Onmyoji using the dharma tools left behind by Xu Fu, not tamed by them."

"They sealed me for a thousand years, making me stay in a dark, sunless seal to work for them."

"Do you think... I would be willing?"

Her voice was airy.

Yet it was like a blunt knife, cutting into Uesugi Megumi's heart stroke by stroke.

Uesugi Megumi's face was as pale as paper. She staggered back two steps, nearly falling over.

Daji retracted her gaze, no longer looking at her, but instead turned and walked behind Ye Chen, standing respectfully.

Nine tails swayed gently behind her, as if announcing to everyone...

She was Ye Chen's person.

Yan Qingwu blinked her eyes, only then reacting in a daze...

Good heavens.

This vixen really was Su Daji, and not just some cosplay Ye Chen liked and had someone perform...

But she never expected the other party to be so brutal as to directly wipe out over thirty thousand people?

Didn't that just wipe out more than half of Japan's experts?

Yan Qingwu gave a dry cough, silently thinking to herself...

Well.

I'll settle the score later!

With such a great demon, I really have no way to deal with her for the time being.

Ye Chen ignored the whole scene and spoke indifferently: "Since the resistance against Japan was successful, I'll credit you for it."

"Thank you, Master~" Daji said with a giggle.

Ye Chen then asked: "By the way, where are those little ghosts you subdued?"

Daji blinked, her voice sweet and delicate.

"The reason I came back so late was that I was going everywhere to subdue them."

She paused, her gaze sweeping over Bai Tian's group, a hint of chilliness flashing in her eyes, "Master, are these people here to cause trouble?"

Ye Chen nodded: "They said they want to kill me."

"Then Master, leave it to me." Daji took a deep breath.

Ye Chen smiled without saying a word.

But Daji already understood.

The next second.

Her beautiful eyes narrowed as she scanned the entire area.

"Of all the people you could touch, you just had to touch Master?"

"Aren't you just looking for death?"

Uesugi Megumi finally came to her senses and became agitated: "My Lady, you... you have truly betrayed Japan?"

Daji sighed and shook her head, as if looking at an irredeemable fool.

"I said, I'm not called Tamamo-no-Mae, I'm called Daji."

"I am from the Dragon Kingdom, not a Japanese person."

"I come from Qingqiu, not from Japan."

Uesugi Megumi's face grew paler and paler.

Daji looked at her expression, the corners of her mouth curling up slightly.

"What? Don't believe me?"

"Then let me ask you, what is the foundation of your Japanese Onmyoji arts?"

Uesugi Megumi's lips trembled, and she couldn't say a single word.

Daji continued.

"I'll tell you."

"The reason I stayed in Japan wasn't because I liked it here, but because I was sealed here."

"The reason I became your guardian deity wasn't because I was willing, but because I had no choice."

"Now, I have met my Master, the seal is broken, and I have regained my freedom."

"Do you think... I will continue to help you?"

Her gaze swept across everyone present as she spoke word by word.

"Not only will I not help."

"New grudges and old hatreds must all be settled together today."

Uesugi Megumi's face turned completely white.

The faces of Bai Tian and the others weren't much better.

They finally understood...

Tamamo-no-Mae... no, it was Daji who had truly become Ye Chen's person.

They now not only had to deal with Ye Chen, but also a thousand-year-old vixen!!!

Daji no longer looked at them but spoke loudly.

"What are you all still hiding for? Come out!"

As her voice fell.

The ground suddenly began to vibrate.

It wasn't an earthquake; it was the vibration of something crawling out from underground.

"Rumble—"

The ground outside the hotel lobby cracked open into several fissures, with rubble flying and dust filling the air.

Cars on the driveway were shaken all over the place, and alarms went off one after another.

Everyone was startled by this sudden vibration.

The expressions of Bai Tian and the others changed drastically as they looked around.

The next second.

They saw.

Amidst the dust, figures emerged from the ground, from the air, and from all directions.

The first to appear was a bird about the height of a person.

Its body was pitch black, its wings like iron, and its eyes were as red as blood, with a thick demonic aura emanating from its entire body.

She hovered in mid-air, her wings spread out, blotting out the sky.

Ubume.

A Great Yokai from Japanese legend, a fierce bird that fed on human infants.

Immediately after.

An eerie Tachi emerged from the void.

The blade was slender and blood-red all over, with black silk threads wrapped around the hilt like twisting snakes.

On the blade, a woman's face faintly emerged.

Yoto Hime.

Rumor has it she was originally an ordinary Tachi, but because she had slain too many people and absorbed too much resentment, she eventually turned into a monster.

Then came Yuki Onna.

Dressed in a white kimono, with hair like a waterfall and skin whiter than snow, she was so beautiful she didn't seem real.

But her eyes were ice-blue, without any warmth, like two pieces of ten-thousand-year-old ice.

Then came Karasu Tengu, Hone Onna, Momiji...

One after another, group after group.

Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

A true Night Parade of One Hundred Demons.

Only now, it wasn't night, but daytime!

This wasn't a legend or a story, but something truly appearing before them.

Outside the hotel lobby, it was densely packed with monsters.

Everyone's faces changed completely.

Some of the faint-hearted had already collapsed to the ground, kneeling and fainting from fear...

Daji stood before the Hundred Ghosts, her hands behind her back.

"Alright."

"Now we can settle the score."

"Among you people, who wants to come forward first and die?"
