She stood there in a daze, it seemed like a long time had passed, yet it seemed like only a short moment. Aozaki Touko only saw that the setting sun had completely sunk into the horizon, but there was still scattered light remaining in the air, and the dividing line between day and night was blurring out in the center of the cloudless sky. Underneath, in this nearly deserted suburb, the girl in a school uniform that looked like a black nun's uniform suddenly became excited, but she carefully took out her cell phone and couldn't wait to send a message to a certain boy. She stared at the screen of the phone, her fingers moving on it unconsciously, and finally she suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, then turned around and reported her progress to herself.
Aozaki Touko just waved her hand casually to indicate that she understood.
So the girl lifted up her skirt and walked hurriedly in a certain direction, as if she was going to meet someone in person to share her joy, and soon disappeared from his sight.
"Are you so happy just because you are useful to him? But so-called love should be something more pure, more impulsive, and more blind, Fujino. It shouldn't be an emotion mixed with such impurities..."
Aozaki Orange said in a low voice.
For a moment, she wasn't sure whether what she was doing was right or wrong.
But all this can only be proven by time.
Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 19: Getting Started
Although in Ling Wuji's eyes, the importance of seizing control of Japan's earth veins and spiritual energy is actually about the same as killing Araya Soren, or even less important than that. However, although the annihilation of Araya Soren's body means the temporary resolution of a certain world-destroying crisis in a certain sense, his death was silent, and the waves it caused in the outside world were probably like a small stone thrown into a lake, but the notice issued by Guo Changlu Dajue formed a huge wave like an asteroid hitting the earth.
On that day, almost all the local families on the mysterious side were connecting with each other and searching for information, trying to find out who was behind the rumors.
Of course, they also found Ling Wu Ji easily.
Thus, for a while, there was another turbulence in the trend of Japan's mysterious side.
However, because Ling Wuji, who has already established a relationship with Fei Shiyuan, is in the spotlight, no one dares to attack him for the time being.
Ling Wuji's swift and decisive action far exceeded everyone's expectations.
That night, he single-handedly captured the earth vein spiritual energy node controlled by the Kurahashi family, the most prestigious Onmyoji family in Tokyo. The process seemed particularly easy and comfortable. In just one night, he destroyed all the spells set up by the Kurahashi family, whether they were set up in public or in secret. Then he began to set up and build a small sky curtain barrier. Although this process could not be completed overnight, the Kurahashi family who tried to counterattack afterwards had already tasted the bitter fruit of the change of spiritual veins:
Ling Wu Ji was now able to utilize the spiritual energy in the earth veins to easily arrange defensive techniques.
"Although he hasn't killed any of our people yet, we can't let this go on! It will only cause casualties in vain!"
"Are we going to give up then? Are we going to let this little brat from China ride on our heads and shit on us? Are we going to let the glory of the Kurahashi family be completely trampled on? I would rather be killed by him than accept this reality!"
"Come back! But you won't change anything by doing this!"
"If you do it, you may die, or your chances of success may be slim, but if you don't do it, nothing will change! Junichiro, Kojiro, follow me!"
"Stop! You stop right there!"
Chaos, endless chaos everywhere, chaos dyed red by blood and fire, noisy sounds everywhere, hoarse shouts everywhere, people kept rushing towards the source of the chaos recklessly, but were soon blown away by a barrier formed by a strong wind, fell to the ground, rolled a few times, and passed out; some people were pulling those who were still rushing in, and more people gathered together, launching combined spells, trying to break through the barrier, but all the spiritual power was like a drop in the ocean, and it had no effect at all. So those who had exhausted their spiritual power could only kneel on the ground in despair, sobbing.
"why?"
The daughter of the current head of the Kurahashi family suddenly shouted loudly, hoarsely, as if she wanted to pour all her grief and anger into this hoarse voice:
"Why the Kurahashi family? What did the Kurahashi family do wrong? Why do you want us to hand over the management rights of the land veins? Why do you come here and rob us if we don't give it to you? What gives you the right to do this?"
The building surrounded by the wind barrier was still silent.
The person inside who had already seized control of the spiritual vein obviously disdained to speak.
"Because he has already achieved 'great justice', Kyoko."
An old voice said to the girl.
"grandmother?"
"From the perspective of the country, he and the sky barrier he wants to build are righteous. In comparison, the idea of those of us who want to rely on the earth veins to continue the family is just selfish," the thin old woman with kind eyes stared at the barrier and said slowly, "What's more, Guo Changlu Dajue has already got the land contract of the earth vein node, and has given compensation after he captured it. Although we don't agree with that kind of exchange, the enemy is strong and we are weak. What can we do?"
"But……"
"But his purpose in building the Sky Curtain Barrier was not necessarily for the greater good of Japan?" The old woman shook her head slowly. "But if we use the theory of original heart, who are we to say anything? What's more, Kuni Changlu Dajue also said that the man made a great contribution to solving the problem of the two viruses. For this reason alone, we cannot accuse him of selfishness."
"But are we just going to let him seize the leyline?"
"For me, it doesn't matter whether the land veins are taken away or not." She glanced at her juniors and saw that everyone around them looked unwilling. She sighed quietly, "Well, since you won't be willing to accept the facts no matter what I say, then let's find someone to try."
"Find someone?"

"Although we are not magicians, there is indeed another organization in this city that has been supervising our management of the leylines. Now that there is a problem with the management of the leylines, even if Guo Changlu Dajue issued a statement in advance, they will definitely intervene. In this case, let's find them and let people see clearly whether he can fulfill the long-cherished wish of the Japanese mysterious side under the pressure from all sides."
"They...are..."
"Of course it's the Holy Church."
The old woman's voice was lost in the wind. When the people around her heard the name, they were still confused. But what she added afterwards made everyone's eyes light up and gave them confidence:
"The person from the Cathedral Church stationed in Tokyo is none other than the natural born saint, the former female pope of the Amakusa-style Cross Church, Kamisaki Kaori."
The so-called "saint" of course refers to the saint in the Christian definition, not the saint in Ling Wu Ji's cognition that "the most perfect person has no self, the divine person has no merit, and the sage has no name". If there really is such a saint who fits his cognition and is active in Tokyo, Ling Wu Ji will definitely not have any ideas. Although the definitions of various Chinese schools and sects are different, a saint is at least a Nascent Soul - of course, in fact, later on, Taoism rarely used saints to define and explain the level of realm - Ling Wu Ji is out of his mind. It is not enough to provoke Luo Hao, but he is preparing to provoke a second person who he cannot handle at this stage.
However, even if she is not a saint in his understanding, Kamijou Kaori's strength is a well-known fact in the mysterious circle of Tokyo.
Although it is more likely because of her background as the Pope of the Amakusa-style Cross Cult who was pointed out before she was born.
As we all know, the Amakusa Cross Cult is a rather bizarre sect.
Volume 1: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter 20: I am the One Who Accomplishes All the Good Deeds in the World
On the mystical side, even if the thing referred to by the name is the same, the name itself has its own special meaning.
As mentioned before, the reason why "Big Dipper" is called "Big Dipper" instead of "Ursa Major" is because legend has it that it is the Big Dipper, not the Ursa Major, that can control life and death. Therefore, the name and form themselves are part of the belief in the mysterious aspect.
The peculiar thing about the Amakusa Cross Cult is that in order to survive, they even changed their doctrines to those of Shintoism and Buddhism.
And this is why heretics are more hateful than pagans in the religious world.
In fact, the Roman Church does not recognize Amakusa Shiro Tokisada, who died in the Shimabara Rebellion, as a "saint". The essence of this is that he was not a persecuted "martyr", but more likely an ambitious person who actively used his faith to launch a rebellion.
In other words, faith is probably just a means for him.
As the founder of a sect was like this, there was no reason for subsequent followers to stick to the original belief while they were being hunted down and persecuted.
The same is true for Kamijou Kaori, who grew up in this sect.
In other words, her stance on faith itself was not that firm.
The fundamental reason why she left the Amakusa Cross Church and joined the Holy Church was simply because she was a natural saint and had much higher luck than ordinary people. This luck allowed her to survive when she was in danger, but at the same time, she would inevitably spread the misfortune that created this luck to her companions in Amakusa.
Therefore, if she was an authentic clergyman of the Holy Church, then her position should be from the perspective of the Holy Church, hostile to all heresies, and she would not take sides whether it was Ling Wuji or the Kurahashi family; if she was standing at the height of the country of Japan to look down on everything that happened, she should help promote the construction of the Sky Curtain Barrier and ignore the request of the Kurahashi family.
But she is neither.
In essence, she is just a person who "extends a hand of salvation to the abandoned."
So, in the end, she was still moved by the tragic situation of the Kurahashi family, and came to the node of the earth's spiritual energy. She chose to face the young man who caused the current tragic situation, chose to question him, and even chose to fight him.
But after she arrived there, the first person who was not from the Kurahashi family she met was not Ling Wuji, but a woman in her early twenties with outstanding looks. Her temperament revealed the kind of seriousness that is unique to official civil servants. She was wearing a dark blue uniform of Scepter 4 and her breasts were so plump that they could be called exaggerated. When she saw her, she took the initiative to say, "Nice to meet you. Are you the former female pope of the Amakusa Cross Church of the Holy Church, Her Excellency Kamijou Kaori? I am Awashima Seri, currently serving as the liaison officer for Ling Wuji's advisor."
"Advisor? Liaison officer?"
"Ling Wuji has been appointed by the Golden King as a consultant to the Fei Shi Institute, responsible for the medical treatment and management of corpses and the Apocalypse virus..." Awashima Seri looked directly at the girl in front of her who was dressed strangely and even weirdly - she was about eighteen years old, with an impeccable delicate face, and her long black hair was tied up with a white ribbon, but her outfit was too avant-garde. In her hand she held a sword that was more than two meters long, her white T-shirt was tied up at the waist, revealing her belly button, and her jeans were cut off at the left thigh, looking quite exposed.
Although the other party has a long-standing reputation in the mysterious field, Awashima Seri still spoke in a businesslike tone: "At the same time, Consultant Ling Wuji is also responsible for matters related to the sky curtain barrier. There is one thing I need to explain to you. The King of Gold has already made a decision to take back the management rights of the earth vein spiritual energy, and also compensated the people of the Kurahashi family, but the people of the Kurahashi family..."
"Step aside."
Kamiya Kaori just raised her hand slightly, and Awashima Seri couldn't see her movements at all. In just a blink of an eye, the floor in front of her was left with traces as if clay was stirred with a sharp knife, but the damage stopped just at the point where it happened to damage her feet. Dust rose slightly and then quickly settled down.
Even though Awashima Seri had only been granted power by Munakata Reiji and became a member of his clan for half a year, and had only been active in the mystical side for that long, as the second-in-command of Scepter 4, Awashima Seri herself possessed power that was much stronger than most of the mystical side personnel. This was also the basis for Scepter 4 to serve as an official organization to manage the Japanese mystical side. However, under the power displayed casually by this natural saint, Awashima Seri found that she did not even have the courage to draw her sword.
"Do you know what kind of monster you have provoked?"
Seeing that she had passed her and was walking towards the old Japanese attic surrounded by the barrier of strong winds, Awashima Seri couldn't help but say in her heart.
The opportunity for her to meet Ling Wuji was the same as that for Reiji Munakata, which was on the hijacked plane. At that time, only the three of them stepped forward, and the situation was once so critical that the plane was about to crash. Although Reiji Munakata was finally chosen by the Dresden Slate, inherited the throne of the Blue King and controlled the plane, the boy who looked four or five years younger than them had a calm expression on his face from beginning to end, which left a deep impression on people.
This is why Reiji Munakata has always insisted on having him become a member of Scepter 4.
Although now, Ling Wu Ji has embarked on another path.
And the enemies on this road are even stronger than the Blue King Munakata Reiji in some senses.
At least not one she could handle.
"But if you can't even handle her, you'd better not even think about doing those things..."
She was not worried about Ling Wuji's safety either.
Kamiya Kaori has a very unique and commendable style, which is that she never kills anyone.
She saw the natural saint, the girl in strange attire, standing in front of the barrier formed by the strong wind. She just raised her hand, and a sharp edge flashed by. Then, the barrier collapsed and shattered in an instant like a piece of paper being cut. Then the girl drew out the two-meter-long sword in her hand and pointed it at the boy who was hiding somewhere in the attic: "Taoist from China! Answer me! Is the sky curtain barrier you want to build at the cost of these people's suffering? Will this situation continue to happen during your construction? Even if building this barrier will cause countless people to suffer, will you continue?
"If so, then..."
"So you are my enemy?"
The young man appeared on the roof of the attic in the blink of an eye, with dark circles under his eyes and a look of having practiced Taoism too much, but he still spoke absentmindedly.

Volume 2: The Bizarre Mysterious Side: Chapter : I am the One Who Accomplishes All the Good Deeds in the World ()
Seeing Kamiya Kaoru's move, Ling Wuji was certain of his judgment:
The so-called natural born saints, even if they have entered the so-called "realm of God", are actually no more than the grand masters among martial artists. He has seen people chopping bullets with knives and moving at supersonic speeds with his own eyes. If it is to be corresponded to the realm division of Taoism, it is roughly equivalent to the golden elixir.
But this correspondence doesn't make much sense at all.
Even if they are both golden elixirs, the gap between the top golden elixir and the ordinary golden elixir is probably about the same, if not the gap between a human and a dog.
When this gap is enlarged to the gap between Jindan and Grandmaster, the span becomes even larger.
The level of this natural born saint is actually about the same as Araya Souren. He may be faster than Araya Souren, but he could even defeat Araya Souren who was still in the Magic Workshop. So what is there to fear from this so-called natural born saint?
So in the face of Kamiya Kaoru's questioning, Ling Wuji just casually said, "More than a hundred years ago, Luo Hao went to Nikko City in Tochigi Prefecture, Japan and caused a big commotion. Do you know why?"
"What does that have to do with what's going on right now?"
Ling Wuji said to himself, "Because the Official History Compilation Committee, with the help of the 'Susanoo' who lived in seclusion in the netherworld, completed a ritual called 'Bimawen', and its function was to tame the disobedient god Sun Wukong who descended to the earth and turn him into a docile monkey. The reason they did this was because they wanted to use Sun Wukong's ability as the 'Steel Hero' to kill dragons and snakes. Whenever the disobedient god of the dragon and snake godhood came to Japan, the Official History Compilation Committee would ask the priestess to awaken his nature and let him go to attack those disobedient gods. When the disobedient god of the dragon and snake godhood was eliminated, his nature would be suppressed and he would become the docile monkey again. And it was because Luo Hao was dissatisfied with the fact that Sun Wukong, as a belief of the Chinese nation, was tamed in such a way that he went to Japan and made a scene."
To outsiders, Ling Wuji's lengthy speech seemed to be an attempt to escalate the issue, as if he wanted to bring up old matters again and clarify his hostile stance towards the godslayer.
But Kanzaki Kaori understood what he meant:
If in order to prevent Japan from being destroyed by the God of Disobedience, Sun Wukong can be sacrificed, his nature can be suppressed, and he can be used as the patron saint of Japan, then why can't the interests of these local families be sacrificed in order to build the Sky Curtain Barrier?
The suffering of some people is not worth mentioning from this perspective.
But Kanzaki Kaori couldn't help but want to say: "But He is the God of Disobedience..."
