First, it was because Abe Inuki was born in the Abe family, the number one Onmyoji family in the world today; second, it was because Abe Inuki was the Onmyoji stationed in Beizhou, and was also the number one Onmyoji in Beizhou, much stronger than himself, the number one swordsman.
"Ah, sir, you are Kitano Nobumori, the number one swordsman in Northern Province?!"
The young man stared at the downtrodden warrior beside him with wide eyes, looking at him in disbelief. He blurted out, "Sir, I always thought you were a downtrodden warrior who failed in his fight for the family fortune..."
"Forehead..."
Kitano Nobuzun looked at the young man speechlessly, not knowing what was going on in his little head day by day. He could only change the subject and said to Abe Insuki, "Lord Insuki, is there any big problem in Xiayi City? Is there anything we can help with?"
"Ah, if Mr. Kitano is willing to help, that would be great."
Abe Inuki is also a shrewd old man. He didn't even explain the situation first, but directly dragged Kitano Nobumori into the incident without giving Kitano Nobumori any chance to react.
After all, he is a swordsman and warrior who once killed monsters, so it is good to have more strength.
Kitano Nobuyuki opened his mouth but ultimately said nothing.
What's going on? I was just asking politely, but you, the number one Yin-Yang Master in Northern Province, took it seriously?
"Two days ago, I discovered in the Onmyoji Lodge that the magatama left behind by the nine Onmyojis in charge of Xia Yicheng suddenly shattered. It seemed something had happened."
Abe Insuki slowly began to explain what he had learned so far: "I have already sent people to Zhongzhou to ask for assistance from other Onmyoji of the Abe family. I am mainly here to investigate the situation this time."
"The magatama of the nine Onmyojis shattered together?"
Kitano Nobuyuki spoke in disbelief, a look of fixation appearing in his eyes: "Could it be that the Demon King has appeared again?"
"Very likely."
Abe Insuki nodded and said seriously, "After all, only the Demon King can produce such an effect... The purpose of my exploration this time is to find the trace of the Demon King."
After that, Abe Insuki thought of something and added, "But don't worry, we are strong enough to escape unscathed even if we encounter a demon king."
After hesitating for a moment, Kitano Nobuyuki nodded and said, "Well, I believe in Lord Cunshu's ability. It's getting late, so let's go into the city. If we go in at night, it might affect something."
After the two discussed everything, they reached a consensus. However, the young man was a little confused and could only follow the footsteps of his "teacher" and "adult" and move towards the seemingly turbulent Xiayi City.
The gates of Xiayi City were tightly shut, but this did not faze Abe Cunshu. He simply smiled, beckoned a large groundhog, and commanded, "Xiao Ni, go open the gates."
Upon hearing this, the groundhog screamed "Ah" and burrowed into the mud to sneak into the city. Garlic Abe Cunshu opened the city gate.
But after a moment, Abe Insuki lost contact with the groundhog.
"There really is something wrong in the city. Xiao Ni was immediately attacked after entering."
Abe Insuki showed no sign of sadness as he spoke slowly, "There's probably something at the city gate... but there's no need to be afraid. Xiao Ni's skills aren't very high, so it's normal for him to die."
After that, Abe Inuki skillfully summoned three identical groundhogs and began to command them to sneak into the city to gather intelligence.
At the moment when the three groundhogs cleared the way, Abe Inshu immediately chanted the Yin-Yang magic spell, and fire burst out between his fingers!
"Crash..."
A scorching flame ignited from Abe Inuki's fingertips and rushed towards the city gate like a meteor. It started to burn the moment it touched the city gate. In just a few breaths, the city gate was burned out, emitting a burning sound!
Kitano Nobumori was not surprised by this kind of operation, and the young man widened his eyes and became a little excited: "It turns out that the Onmyoji can really control fire!"
"Haha, little Doyle."
Abe Insuki said with a smile, without any ambiguity: "I thought the monster was waiting for us to enter at the door, and even sent three little muds in to attract attention. It turned out that I was worrying too much."
"The first little mud may have touched Xia Yicheng's protective formation. Let's go."
Abe Chunshu's voice easily gave people a sense of security. Kitano Nobuyuki's originally nervous heart gradually calmed down. Holding the samurai sword in his hand, he followed Abe Chunshu's steps without saying a word and moved towards the depths of Xiayi City.
"Xiayi City was as silent as death. There was no movement at all. Even the houses on both sides of the street were empty."
After Abe Inuki took notice of the surroundings, he said to Kitano Nobumori, "This place is not simple. Be prepared to leave at any time."
"Well, but it's a bit too early to retreat now."
Kitano Nobuyuki spoke in a deep voice. Although he had previously been reluctant to enter Xiayi City, now that he was here, he naturally had to consider all aspects carefully: "Retreating now is likely to give the monsters here the impression that we are weak, which will be disadvantageous to us."
After all, monsters also have emotions and desires. If they encounter a strong enemy, they will avoid it. If I leave now, it will undoubtedly give the monster the impression that I am weak.
If the monsters here are not strong, then this would be a way to lure the snake out of its hole, but the monsters entrenched here are most likely at the level of a demon king, so they naturally cannot make such a choice.
Abe Insuki nodded and said, "Let's go and go to the Nara family's Shogun's Mansion first. It's the core of everything. The Shogun's Mansion is the favorite place for monsters to attack the city. There may be some unexpected news there."
