Infuriated, I was beside myself.
Three Japanese onmyoji had actually escaped?
I quickly made my way to the hotel entrance. It was late at night, and there were very few people on the street.
A quick scan revealed no trace of the three onmyoji.
They had already fled.
Fled? How could I let them escape?
As the saying goes, if you don't cut the weeds at the root, they will grow back with the spring wind.
These three mongrels from the Kugikagyo sect.
They had dared to defecate on my doorstep. If I let them get away like this tonight, how infuriating would that be?
I pride myself on many things, but I absolutely cannot stand being taken advantage of.
Especially now that I have strength, I can't tolerate such humiliation.
And what's more, they were supposed to be some kind of onmyoji from an island nation.
Did they think they could provoke me and then simply run away?
Dream on!
In my anger, I immediately revealed the Purple Bone Vine in my left hand.
Gazing at the twelve zodiac imprints on the Purple Bone Vine, I took a deep breath.
When I left the Nine Saints Mansion, Qingdai had warned me not to rely too much on the Twelve Demonic Souls.
But now, without mobilizing them, I definitely wouldn't be able to catch up to those onmyoji.
Moreover, I had no idea where to even start the pursuit.
Leaving these three scourges behind was like leaving a danger for myself.
If I'm going to kill, I must kill them all, leaving no loose ends.
Without further hesitation, I opened my mouth and said:
"Where are the Twelve Demonic Generals?"
As soon as these words were uttered, the twelve zodiac heads on the Purple Bone Vine in my left hand suddenly flashed.
Wisps of mist then emerged from the Purple Bone Vine in my hand.
The next second, they all transformed into human form and landed before me.
One, two, three, four...
In an instant, twelve figures in black appeared, the Twelve Demonic Generals.
As soon as the Twelve Zodiacs appeared, they immediately knelt on one knee, speaking in unison:
"Greetings, Young Master Qin!"
"Rise, honored demonic immortals," I said solemnly.
The Twelve Demonic Generals rose, looking at me with stern expressions.
Without any preamble, I gave my orders:
"Earlier, I was ambushed by three Japanese onmyoji.
They have now fled.
Sister Si Snake, do you remember their scent?"
Si Snake, with her snake-like features, cupped her fist towards me and flicked her forked tongue:
"Hiss hiss! Si Snake remembers!"
"Good! Then I ask Sister Si Snake to lead the other demonic immortals.
To deal with those three Japanese onmyoji.
Do not let them see the sun tomorrow."
My voice was chillingly cold, my eyes filled with murderous intent.
Those three almost managed to ambush me.
An ordinary person would surely have perished.
Fortunately, we were blessed with great fortune and are all unharmed.
But even if we are fine, those three foolish dogs from the island nation must face consequences.
Upon hearing my words, the Twelve Demonic Generals
Without a word, their eyes were filled with a killing intent.
They cupped their fists in response:
"As you command!"
With that, the Twelve Demonic Generals instantly emitted a wave of black mist, and in the blink of an eye, they transformed into their true forms.
Tiger, Ox, Snake, Rooster, and so on...
They each let out a low growl.
"Roar!"
"Moo!"
"Hiss!"
"..."
The Twelve Demonic Generals, now in the form of twelve animals, scattered rapidly, turning into a wisp of smoke...
They quickly disappeared from my Heavenly Eye's sight.
The Twelve Zodiacs, as demonic souls, possess considerable cultivation.
They are bound to have this instinct.
The three onmyoji had not been gone long, and even by car, they wouldn't have traveled too far.
As long as Si Snake could lock onto their scent, with their abilities as demonic souls, finding and eliminating them would be no problem.
I thought to myself with certainty.
I stood at the doorway for a moment, about to head back inside.
Behind me, I heard the sound of footsteps.
Turning around, I saw my Uncle-Master, Old Mo, and Chen Yao approaching me.
All three of them were rushing towards me with fierce expressions.
Seeing my Uncle-Master and the others, I immediately said:
"Uncle-Master, those three scoundrels escaped."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of my Uncle-Master and the other two grew even more grim.
My Uncle-Master, discarding all pretense of composure, began to curse:
"Damn it, these Japanese fools are quite fast at escaping. No wonder I couldn't find them up there."
"Master, what do we do now?" Old Mo asked, also looking displeased.
My Uncle-Master took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness in his demeanor, and then said:
"It's happened as it has. Let's all go back!
If we ever encounter them again, I'll be sure to kill these mongrels."
My Uncle-Master was filled with anger, his eyes burning with rage.
In his view,
The people had already fled, and without any direction, there was no way to pursue them.
If they were vengeful spirits or malevolent ghosts, he might have had some means,
But tracking living people was beyond his capabilities...
However, at this moment, I spoke up directly:
"Uncle-Master, don't worry. I've already sent people to pursue them.
We should have results before dawn."
Upon hearing this, the three of them froze.
They looked at me with a degree of surprise.
"You sent people to chase them?" Old Mo asked doubtfully.
Chen Yao looked at me with confusion.
My Uncle-Master steadied himself slightly.
I nodded directly:
"That's right. There's something I've been meaning to tell you all.
I have demonic souls protecting me!
I've already ordered them to pursue..."
As soon as I finished speaking, they all stood stunned on the spot.
Looking at me in unison.
My Uncle-Master wore an expression of astonishment.
Chen Yao's jaw dropped.
Old Mo exclaimed in surprise:
"Old Qin, what kind of stunt are you pulling now?"
I replied with a wry smile:
"Let's go inside and talk about it!"
After all, people occasionally passed by the hotel entrance, and it wasn't very convenient to talk here...
