Chapter 214: Intelligence Exchange (Part )
Ignoring Ibaraki's fiery eyes that were burning like flames, Ling Yuan's eyes were firmly fixed on Shuten, as if Ibaraki didn't exist at all. He completely ignored Ibaraki's provocative eyes that were full of desire, eager to try, and wanted to compete with him.
"The situation over there is basically what I just said." Ling Yuan continued, "Now let me talk about some important information I have collected since I came here!"
Ling Yuan told Shuten the details of his encounter with Tsuchimikado Amasawa the day before. Shuten listened to Ling Yuan's description attentively, frowning. With her in-depth understanding of various Japanese families, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed with the human side.
After all, whether they are powerful demons or ordinary humans, they all hope to successfully resolve the huge crisis brought by the revival of the gods, so that everyone can continue to enjoy a peaceful, stable and worry-free life. Unfortunately, things don't go as planned. There will always be a small group of people with ulterior motives in this world, who think all day long about how to destroy this hard-earned peace and beauty.
"Well, I have a general understanding of the current situation." Shuten couldn't help but sigh, "To be honest, most of the so-called old-fashioned Onmyoji families are just shameless people who collude with the gods and do evil together!"
"At least Qingming is still trying. He risked his life to tell us the information about the revival of the gods. After careful consideration and repeated discussions, we finally concluded that we must stop the revival of the gods at all costs. Of course, if it is you, the powerful and unfathomable Lord Lingyuan, who takes action, I believe you will be able to easily eliminate these hateful gods completely!" Ibaraki added in a firm tone.
Listening to the words of Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji, Ling Yuan couldn't help but frown slightly. Of course, he had heard of the famous Onmyoji Abe Haruaki. Originally, he thought that these ancient families with a long history were as unreliable as the Tsuchimikado family, and were traitors who were more likely to cause trouble than to accomplish anything. But now it seems that this conclusion seems to be a bit too hasty.
After all, how can a person who can be remembered by history and passed down to this day not have some real ability? Especially a legendary figure like Abe Haruaki who was already famous in the Heian period of Japan, when faced with such a major issue concerning the survival of mankind, he was still able to distinguish right from wrong and stand firm.
"Abe Haruaki is still alive?" Ling Yuan raised his eyebrows, with a hint of surprise in his eyes. If it is true as Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji said, then the power they can rely on will be further enhanced.
However, Shuten-doji shook his head, as if he had seen through Ling Yuan's inner thoughts, and said helplessly: "Although he is still alive, we can't actually place high hopes on him. He is the only one in the entire Abe family who hopes to prevent the resurrection of the gods."
Shuten-doji's words were full of regret, and she added: "The younger generation of the Abe family got an evil spell from somewhere and imprisoned Abe Haruaki. Even those of us who are powerful are helpless in the face of this strange and evil spell..." Her voice gradually became lower, as if she remembered the setbacks and failures she had encountered when trying to break the spell.
Ling Yuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he thought to himself: I might be able to crack the evil spell that could make Shuten Douji and Ibaraki Douji helpless. However, he had no idea how to establish contact with the legendary Abe family.
While Ling Yuan was thinking hard, he suddenly rubbed his temples vigorously, as if he wanted to relieve his inner anxiety. Then, he took a deep breath and slowly said, "Let's put this matter aside for now. However, I have another question to ask, which is about the Yamata no Orochi..."
"I know what you want to ask. Unfortunately, the Yamata no Orochi belongs to the gods!" Shuten shook her head. Based on the many rumors on the Internet, she knew what Ling Yuan wanted to ask without even thinking. "It is the pioneer of Takamagahara. If nothing unexpected happens, it will completely descend on Tokyo in the next few days."
"Is that so..." Ling Yuan's gaze deepened. The arrival of the Yamata no Orochi was indeed a sign of the revival of the gods. It was a pity that the combat power they could use was too scarce.
As a result, there was not much that Ling Yuan wanted to know. It was meaningless to talk about his past and the things about that "Ling Yuan". After all, in this world, the only ones who could fight against that "Ling Yuan" were Ling Yuan himself, and the two women Zhongyan and Suo.
"We have finished exchanging information. Now, can we find a place to compete?" Ibaraki's big bell-like eyes flashed with a raging fighting spirit. He stared at Ling Yuan intently, as if as long as Ling Yuan nodded, he would immediately rush up to start a life-and-death battle with him.
Seeing this, Ling Yuan's mouth twitched involuntarily. Shuten, who was standing next to him, held his forehead helplessly, raised his fist, and hit Ibaraki's head hard, saying unhappily: "Can you please be quiet! All you do is fight all day long. Can't you think about other serious things?"
"Well...like I missed you?" Ibaraki rubbed the place where he was hit and looked at Shuten with a puzzled look on his face.
Before she finished speaking, the veins on Shuten's forehead suddenly popped up. Without saying anything, she punched Ibaraki's head again. Ling Yuan stood aside, looking at the two legendary monsters in front of him, and couldn't help laughing. In the end, he couldn't help but cover his eyes, secretly sighing in his heart: This scene is so beautiful that it makes people unable to bear to look directly at it...
"I'm so sorry! Lord Lingyuan, please forgive my impulsive and reckless friend..." Shutun didn't wait for Ibaraki to speak again, and quickly covered his mouth with his hand, looking at Lingyuan with an apologetic look.
"Forget it... I can fight with you, but not on land. I'm afraid this place will be destroyed!" Ling Yuan waved his hands and said helplessly.
Hearing Ling Yuan agree to the sparring request, Ibaraki's eyes lit up, while Shuten held his forehead helplessly. She had originally thought about sparring with Ling Yuan, at least to know his strength, but when she heard that Ling Yuan had killed a god single-handedly, she had given up this unrealistic idea.
However, since Ling Yuan took the initiative to propose it, she had no reason to refuse. At least it would not be a problem to have a peaceful fight with Ling Yuan.
But when Ibaraki heard Ling Yuan agree, his eyes lit up, and Shuten really wanted to say that he didn't know this guy...
