Chapter 169 Asakusa Ruri
Tiangang Star·Lu Junyi, Tiangu Star·Lu Zhishen, Tianying Star·Hua Rong, one after another, the evil stars in the eyes of the world appeared in the territory of Fuso at a rapid speed.

They killed, injured, looted, and completely destroyed shrines and Onmyoji temples in various places.

Originally, the higher-ups of the Onmyoji Bureau didn’t care much about it. After all, those who died were big ghosts and small ghosts, and those evil stars were probably just things that were not presentable.

But the news of the Ghost King's death came one after another, which forced them to take it seriously. The Ghost King was already the backbone of their force and was closely related to their interests. If he continued to die at this rate, the interests of all of them would be damaged.

In order to show its importance, the Onmyoji Bureau specially sent an imperial envoy to lead the team to be responsible for the crackdown on the resistance forces within the country.

On a barren mountain, a figure suddenly appeared there.

Standing on a charred tree, his molten gold eyes scanned the surrounding area, then he raised an eyebrow, because what he wanted was not there.

"The wearer of the Life Knot?" Ash thought to himself.

It is not easy to find a suitable place to seal the tails of the golden-haired, jade-faced nine-tailed fox, and from Hideo Nomura's memory, he did not see any plans they had for these tails.

This meant that the tail must have been taken away by someone, and the only thing that could be taken away without making any noise was the life knot.

Ash's thoughts are shared with the 108 clones. He thinks rapidly, breaking down the information he collects daily. As the owner of the Life Knot, and he consciously collects tails, he is definitely not an unknown person.

People leave their names behind, just as wild geese leave their voices behind. They must leave traces behind.

As the gossips of passers-by gathered together, Ash quickly identified his target, a genius who had recently become famous, Tamada, Miyamoto Momoko.

Because she had done something special, which was to kill the Araki family who were causing trouble in the village at that time.

It will be easy if you know the person.

Ash placed his hand on the scabbard and activated [Omen of All Things]. Soon, he got a clue.

'Southeast?'

Ash took a step and flew to the southeast.

But what he didn't expect was that before he found her, she found "him" first.

In a large village shrine, a short and ugly man cut off the head of a green-skinned demon. A pool of blood appeared under his feet and swallowed the green-skinned demon.

At this moment, a white light came and went straight for his head.

The knife in his right hand flipped over and directly hit the white light.

clang!
The white light revealed its true identity, a girl wearing a kimono and holding a jade sword.

The ugly man glanced at the girl, with a strange look in his eyes: "Jade Knife, Miyamoto Momoko?"

"Wang Ying from Diweixing?" the girl asked back.

"Interesting, I haven't even looked for you yet, but you've come to me on your own initiative." Wang Ying said, "In that case, you should just stay here!"

At this moment, a charming female voice came from the girl Miyamoto Momoko's mind, and there was a hint of solemnity in the voice:
"Oh no, Xiao Taozi, this person is just a clone, hurry up and leave!"

"Doppelganger?!" The girl was puzzled, but she believed the female voice and retreated immediately without hesitation.

But Wang Ying would not let her go. He did not like playing hide-and-seek.

"Stay." Wang Ying took a step forward, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived in front of Miyamoto Momoko, and then swung his sword.

Miyamoto Momoko immediately raised her knife to block.

A huge force came, and Miyamoto Momoko suddenly felt that all the bones in her body were about to break.

boom!
Miyamoto Momoko was knocked to the ground.

Wang Ying was just about to keep Miyamoto Momoko away for good when he saw a flash of light from a knot around her waist, and the whole person disappeared.

Wang Ying stopped and turned to leave. He was going to continue killing the little ghost. The mark had been placed, so it would be his real body’s job to find her.

In a grove, a jade light flashed, and a beautiful girl in a kimono fell to the ground.

"Cough!" The girl couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood on the ground.

"So strong, why would such a strong person do such a thing?" The girl felt solemn and puzzled.

"I don't know, maybe they are holding a specific ceremony." A charming female voice appeared in the girl's mind, "This matter is no longer something we can get involved in, and we have to hide. From what that person said later, you seem to be one of the targets."

"I am also a target?" Miyamoto Momoko wondered, "Do I have any special value?"

The female voice was silent for a moment: "No, the other party's target may be me."

"You, Sister Liuli?" Miyamoto Momoko was surprised, and then a firm look appeared on her face, "Then I will never hand Sister Liuli over to a bad person, unless I die and they step over my corpse."

"Thank you, Xiao Taozi." The female voice was somewhat relieved, "Heal your wound first. It's not good to delay your injury any longer."

"Yeah." Miyamoto Momoko nodded, and crawled on the ground like a fox, breathing regularly through her mouth and nose.

After an unknown amount of time, Miyamoto Momoko exhaled a breath of pink exhaust air, stood up and stretched.

"Are you cured? Have a drink of water." A clear voice sounded beside her, and then a bowl of water was handed to her.

"Oh, thank you." Miyamoto Momoko took the bowl and drank it without thinking, then licked her lips as if savoring the taste, "So sweet, what's it made of?"

Halfway through the last sentence, Miyamoto Momoko finally reacted and her tone couldn't help but stutter.

boom!
With a kick of her slender and powerful antelope-like legs, Miyamoto Momoko immediately fled to the side.

But the owner of the voice seemed to have expected it. He held her head with one hand and whispered, "Stop."

The voice was like a decree from a true god, and Miyamoto Momoko froze in mid-air.

The knot around her waist began to glow, but it would not gather any light.

"Stop struggling, Asakusa Ruri. If you were in your prime, I wouldn't be able to do anything to you, but now even your soul is incomplete and you can't escape my control." Ash walked up to Miyamoto Momoko and reached out to take the life knot.

Miyamoto Momoko suddenly became anxious: "Don't touch Sister Liuli, you evil person!"

Ash didn't listen. He took off his life knot and glanced at her: "Evil, which eye of yours can see that I am a bad person?"

"I saw it with both eyes!" Miyamoto Momoko said, "Your clone killed so many people, what good is your real body!"

Miyamoto Momoko is also a smart person. She has deduced from what just happened that Wang Ying is a clone, and the one in front of her must be the real person.

"I'm sorry, I killed people who deserved to die." Ash replied, then looked at the life knot in his hand, "Asakusa Ruri, do you want to live or die?"

"What do you want me to do?" Asakusa Ruri's voice appeared in Ash's mind, and she immediately guessed that Ash must need her somewhere.

"Rule the entire Fuso Kingdom for me," said Ash.

"What happened next?" Asakusa Ruri asked again.

"You will become the totem god of this country and be worshipped by me." Ash revealed his purpose.

Let's call those divine powers the power of faith.

Now that he knew the effect of the power of faith, Ash naturally collected it consciously. However, he didn't know if there was any harm in believing in God. After all, the novel in his previous life mentioned that incense was poisonous and faith would change God.

So he had to find a scapegoat to act as a filter.

The fox Asakusa Ruri is a very good candidate. She is a local demigod, has good strength and is easy to control.

Asakusa Ruri was silent for a moment, as if she was making a decision. Finally, she said, "You can't order me to do something evil, or I would rather die."

"Don't worry, I'm a good person." Ash smiled.

He's just not a good guy in the orthodox sense.

Asakusa Ruri fell silent again, because Ash didn't lie, he really thought he was a good person.

"In that case, prepare to revive."

Ash took back the One and Only, slapped the scabbard onto the life knot, and then threw it into the air.

The scabbard and the life-saving knot suddenly merged into one. A golden light shone, and a female body gradually solidified from nothingness in the air.

Miyamoto Momoko also opened her mouth wide, looking at the scene in surprise.

Three golden tails of different shades appeared behind her. One turned into a feather robe of gold and silver interwoven to wrap around her enchanting figure, one turned into a folding fan that fell into her hand, and one turned into a hairpin to pin her thick black hair.

Landing barefoot on the ground, the woman bowed to Ash and said, "I greet the Master."

Ash looked her up and down and said, "I thought you were going to run away?"

Asakusa Ruri opened her fan to hide her smile: "I dare not escape. Even if I escape, I probably cannot escape the clutches of my master."

"As expected of a fox, you know what's happening," Ash said, "Come with me, we'll get the rest of your tail."

"Yes." Asakusa Ruri nodded, then looked at Miyamoto Momoko, "Then, Master, can you let her go first?"

Ash glanced at Miyamoto Momoko who was standing beside him, and Miyamoto Momoko immediately fell to the ground from mid-air: "I thought she was your tool, but I didn't expect you had real feelings for her."

"After all, I watched her being born and growing up." Asakusa Ruri hugged Miyamoto Momoko, "Before you leave, can I take care of her?"

Hearing this, Miyamoto Momoko suddenly became nervous: "Wait, Sister Liuli, I don't want to leave you!"

"Take it with you. What's the risk in taking a few tails?" Ash said.

Asakusa Liuli narrowed her eyes, but cursed in her heart: "I'm afraid of this. I'm afraid that you, a killer, will attract the traitor here!"

When she merged with the Killing Stone, she could see the memories in the Killing Stone clearly. This person killed wherever he went. He was either killing people or on his way to kill people.

Considering what he said before, he might be planning to massacre the entire country of Fuso.

But before that, all the demigods of Fuso will come to surround and kill him, including the traitor.

Thinking of the traitor, Asakusa Ruri couldn't help but clench her teeth together, as if she wanted to break them. If it weren't for the traitor, how could she have ended up like this!
On the surface, she still smiled and said, "In that case, I'll trouble you, my Lord."

"It's okay, you're the one leading the way anyway." Ash waved his hand and walked in a certain direction, "Let's go."

"Yes." Asakusa Ruri pulled Miyamoto Momoko to follow Ash.

"Sister Liuli, is there really no way to escape?" Miyamoto Momoko asked in her heart, and then she remembered that Asakusa Liuli had been resurrected, and she didn't know if she could hear it.

Fortunately, she could hear it. The next second, a soft female voice sounded in Miyamoto Momoko's mind:

"I can't help it. I only have three tails and my essence is badly damaged. I can't beat him in this state. It's even difficult to escape."

Miyamoto Momoko's voice was a little low: "Do I mean I am a burden to you, Sister Liuli?"

"It's not a burden. After all, it's the same with or without you." Asakusa Ruri comforted her.

"Oh." Miyamoto Momoko sighed in her heart, and then she felt a desire for strength.

When they came across a big city, Ash asked Miyamoto Momoko and Asakusa Ruri to wait outside, while he flashed and appeared in the big shrine in the center.

After recognizing it and confirming it was the target, he slapped it down.

The man who was sitting at the desk processing documents was beaten into a bloody mist before he could even utter a word.

What followed was looting, and then rushing to the Onmyoji Bureau to interrogate, kill, and plunder.

Outside the city, Asakusa Ruri and Miyamoto Momoko communicated with each other through telepathy.

"Sister Liuli, where did that bad guy go?" Miyamoto Momoko asked.

"You bad guy, just talk now. If you really want to talk, you should call me sir. His temper is unknown, so it's better to be careful." Asakusa Ruri warned.

Miyamoto Momoko nodded obediently: "Oh."

Asakusa Ruri touched her head and said, "That man must have gone to kill the Ghost King."

"Killing ghosts again, how much hatred does he have against ghosts!" Miyamoto Momoko was depressed, "Does he know how chaotic the city will be after he kills them, and how many people will die?"

'Sister Liuli, is there no way for us to stop him?'

"We can't stop him. Our lives are in his hands." Asakusa Ruri said. She didn't feel anything. The Killing Stone returned, and her evil nature also returned. She was no longer as kind as before.

So she would not show unnecessary sympathy to irrelevant people.

"Hey, two beautiful ladies, come, tie them up and put them in the car."

A frivolous voice sounded nearby. Miyamoto Momoko and Asakusa Ruri turned around and saw a team passing by them.

The one who spoke was the young man who was in the lead.

As the young man spoke, his followers immediately dismounted and rushed towards Miyamoto Momoko and Asakusa Ruri.

'Another bad guy!'

Miyamoto Momoko drew her sword immediately. She was also very pretty, with two buns on her head, and she was very cute and pretty. Therefore, she had experienced many plots against her by lustful people.

But this was the first time she had seen a young man as blatant as this one.

"Let me do it." Asakusa Ruri stopped Miyamoto Momoko. She was being pinned down like a slave, and she was feeling angry. The group of people in front of her came at the right time to help her vent her anger.

With a wave of the folding fan, a strong wind blew up, blowing the group of people away.

The golden hairpins shone, and the weapons on the group of people suddenly turned into living things, imprisoning them and beginning to strangle them.

With just these two hits, all the people were lying on the ground.

The young man was lying on the ground, his face flushed, and he shouted angrily: "You bitch, do you know who my father is? He is the Worry-Free Ghost King. If you dare to kill my only son, he will never let you go."

The only son of the Ghost King? Miyamoto Momoko showed a strange look in her eyes and glanced at the big city next to her. What a coincidence, the bad guy went to kill the bad guy's father.

"Idiot." These were the only two words Asakusa Ruri used to describe him.

As soon as he finished speaking, the metal turned into thin threads and completely strangled the necks of these people, strangling their lives.

"Let's go." Ash's voice sounded beside him.

This scared Momoko Miyamoto, and she couldn't help but mutter that this bad guy was really elusive.

"Yes." Asakusa Ruri followed with Miyamoto Momoko.

As for the corpses next to them, no one took a second look at them. They were just a bunch of trash.

Nuo Luo Castle, the central shrine, a man wearing a Fuso hunting suit stands in front of a place.

There was no trace of blood on the ground, but only some broken furniture.

This is where the Nuo Luo Ghost King died, and it was also the place where the Ghost King died in the last two or three days.

He took out a talisman with his fingers, and then the talisman ignited without fire and turned into a wisp of green smoke.

The green smoke swayed, but eventually dissipated.

This made the man look a little ugly. He had failed again. Where did the murderer come from this time? Even he, the imperial servant, couldn't find any trace.

"How are Shiraishi and Kato doing?" the man asked the subordinate next to him.

"They have already tracked down Wu Song, the Heavenly Injury Star, and are on their way to capture him," the subordinate replied.

"Tell them to speed up." The man waved his hand.

Now the only thing we can do is to capture those killers and force them to tell us the whereabouts of the mastermind behind the scenes.

There was a hint of depression in the man's eyes. He thought this was a lucrative job. After all, it was up to him to decide who the resistance force was.

Unexpectedly, he got stuck at the first step. If he doesn't take down those killers, how can he control other forces?

He suddenly regretted taking this job.
