"Gutian is crazy, crazy!"
"Run, don't let him catch up!"
There was a lot of noise outside, and the old priest couldn't help but frowned. He said to his left and right in dissatisfaction: "What's wrong with Kojiro? You can't even handle such a small matter. Won't you be laughed at by Lord Kyogoku Qiong?"
After saying that, the old priest stood up and walked outside angrily.
The other priests and priestesses naturally could not just sit there, so they could only follow the old priest's steps and hurried out the door.
The old priest just walked out of the room and looked at the students who had broken in. He frowned and said angrily: "You are invading the private territory of Sengen Shrine. Leave here quickly, otherwise we will have to ask the police officers from the Metropolitan Police Department to handle the matter!"
In the old priest's imagination, his words should be powerful enough to scare away the group of villains in front of him.
However...
After hearing this, these people actually showed an expression of ecstasy and shouted repeatedly: "What did you say?! Yes, yes, yes, go find the Metropolitan Police Department, quickly, quickly!"
The old priest had never seen such an arrogant person, and was about to get angry, when suddenly a roar like that of a wild beast sounded in his ears.
"roar--!!!"
The roar was like thunder, and the old priest was caught off guard and almost collapsed to the ground in fright. After he came to his senses, he looked in the direction of the sound and saw a young man with a strange red light in his eyes.
There was a thick black aura surrounding the young man. Even though the old priest was more than ten meters away from him, he could still feel a chill that penetrated deep into his bones.
Looking at the young man surrounded by black air, the old priest took a breath of cold air and said in astonishment: "Could it be...Could it be that evil energy is leaking out?!"
After all, Kyogoku Qiong mentioned the matter of evil spirits leaking out not long ago, and this happened at night, which made it impossible for others not to think about something related to it.
"roar--!!!"
An angry roar roared out from the young man's mouth, and his figure moved instantly, rushing towards the direction of the old priest. However, his target was not the old priest with old arms and legs, but the students.
"Gutian, we are best friends, don't eat me, don't eat me..."
"Don't come over here, Furuta!"
Gutian's classmates were in a panic and began to hide, but compared to Gutian, their movements were much more clumsy.
Gu Tian threw a female classmate to the ground, opened his bloody mouth, and his sharp teeth flashed cold light. Amidst a scream, the female classmate's neck was already a bloody mess.
The chewing sound was surprisingly loud, as if all humans had become his food. He slowly raised his head and met the old priest's eyes.
Those eyes were filled with greed and anger, with blood-red filaments filling the eyeballs, and the entire eyeballs seemed like they could explode at any time.
The students around had already begun to flee hysterically. After all, they were just a group of students, and such a scene was too horrifying.
The old priest still stood there, looking anxiously at Gu Tian in front of him, without any sign of retreat.
Compared with the students, the old priest understood better that he was old and weak, and he could not outrun the enemy even if he ran. Instead, his weaknesses would be exposed. It would be better for him to bluff, perhaps he could seek a chance of survival.
The old priest put on the lonely look of a master, the breeze gently blew his hunting clothes, and the old priest's eyes were deep and full of determination.
This situation boosted the confidence of the other priests and maidens in the shrine. They all expressed their support for the old priest and looked forward to him slaying demons and eliminating evil.
The old priest did put on an air of strength, but it had no effect at all on Furuta, who was already blinded by greed and anger.
Seeing Gu Tian rushing over, the old priest panicked and could only pinch his fingers and yell, "Evil spirits, retreat!"
Unfortunately, it was of no use. The old priest was knocked down by Furuta in an instant. Seeing this, the surrounding priests and priestesses hurried forward to rescue the old priest who raised them.
The strange and powerful force from Gutian made the old priest feel pain all over his body. The old priest stared at Gutian's fangs that were gleaming with cold light, and thinking of his own fate, he closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
However, the imagined severe pain did not come. Faintly, it seemed that something was falling on his forehead, and the huge force pressing on him disappeared.
The old priest slowly opened his eyes, and cherry blossom petals began to fall from somewhere. At this moment, it was as if it was raining cherry blossoms.
A butterfly with azure blue light danced in the sky, circling around Gutian, gradually turning into light smoke, sinking into Gutian's body, and gradually disappearing.
As Gu Tian absorbed the azure-blue butterfly, the black air on his body began to be drawn away, and following the guidance of the butterfly, it floated all the way toward the rubble on the roof.
The old priest endured the severe pain in his body and stood up. He saw Kyogoku Qiong half leaning on the eaves. The black air actually penetrated into the black jade pendant in Kyogoku Qiong's hand bit by bit.
Although the old priest was in unbearable pain, he still bowed to Kyogoku Qiong: "Thank you, Master Kyogoku Qiong."
"Thank you, Lord Kyogoku Qiong, for saving my life!"
Other priests and shrine maidens also expressed their gratitude to Kyogoku Qiong.
"No problem."
Kyogoku Qiong just waved his hand, jumped down from the eaves, looked at Furuta who had lost his black energy and collapsed on the ground, thought for a moment, and said, "The source of the evil energy has been sealed by me, but a lot of evil energy still leaked out, you still need to be more careful."
After that, Kyogoku Qiong looked at the students who were whispering not far away and seemed to have respect for Kyogoku Qiong, and asked loudly: "Where are you from? When did he become like this?"
The students were naturally excited when the legendary Onmyoji took the initiative to talk to them. They even forgot about the life and death that happened not long ago and the death of their three classmates.
Soon, a boy bravely said, "Onmyoji, we are students from Sakura Metropolitan Shinjuku High School. His name is Furuta. He has been feeling uneasy for a few days, as if..."
Because he was a little nervous, the boy stuttered a little, but he quickly adjusted himself and talked to Kyogoku Qiong freely.
After hearing the two key words "Gutian" and "Shinjuku", he nodded, looked around at the students and priests, and said, "Let the Metropolitan Police Department handle the rest. I have other things to deal with, so I won't bother you here."
After saying that, butterflies with azure blue light appeared around Kyogoku Qiong again. Amid the dazzling light of the butterflies and the old priest's voice of trying to keep her, Kyogoku Qiong disappeared.
The old priest felt a little lost, but he quickly recovered. Looking at Gu Tian who was lying on the ground and the student who had been disemboweled, the old priest felt a headache.
"Nanako, quickly call the Metropolitan Police Department and ask them to send someone to handle the situation here."
