Traveler of the River of Time and Space

Chapter 25: Sword Immortal


The entire street was deserted, with an occasional gust of cold wind blowing, sweeping up the ashes from the fire.

From Vermilion Bird Dao to Nijo Street, everything had been completely burnt by the fire. Nearby, some soldiers were patrolling, but judging by their expressions of fear, they didn't seem very pleased with this duty. A number of Yin Yang Masters and monks had suddenly appeared in Kyoto; it was said that the Fusang Imperial Family had ordered nationwide Yin Yang Masters and monks to gather for support. Those who first arrived seemed to be from nearby temples and shrines in Kyoto.

"As expected, only when things deteriorate to a certain extent do the natives react and become a source of aid." Su Ziyu observed the Yin Yang Masters setting up barriers from afar, pondering to himself.

In the future, perhaps I can pre-emptively trigger some hidden dangers, then maybe I can leverage the strength of the natives.

Su Ziyu realized that in the past, he had oversimplified some matters and didn't truly understand how to take advantage of situations. However, growth is gradual, and his experiences in this world had taught him much.

At this moment, he already had some plans in mind.

Su Ziyu didn't bother with the Yin Yang Masters and monks guarding near the Rashomon, but instead, went directly to Fujiwara Kaoru's residence. The place had long been deserted, indicating a hasty departure.

Leaving Kyoto now was the best choice.

Su Ziyu certainly didn't want this extraordinary woman, who wrote "The Tale of Genji," to just perish at the hands of demons and monsters.

In the left capital, many were busy collecting the bodies of the deceased, and the Imperial Palace was heavily guarded. Many Yin Yang Masters and monks had been invited there, likely because the members of Fusang's Imperial Family were also terrified.

Tsuchimikado.

In a secluded courtyard, Master Jieyi and Abe no Seimei sat opposite each other, seemingly discussing something. At that moment, Master Jieyi suddenly stood up and slowly said: "A distinguished guest arrives! Let's go out and welcome them!"

A distinguished guest?

Abe no Seimei was taken aback when he heard this. He knew that the guest Master Jieyi mentioned must be of extraordinary status. He discreetly calculated with his fingers, but found nothing. Helplessly, he silently performed a sealing technique and sent out his shikigami.

Then in the next moment, Abe no Seimei's expression turned grave.

In front of the shrine's torii.

Both Master Jieyi and Abe no Seimei appeared simultaneously, and the Yin Yang Masters and monks nearby wore expressions of surprise. The two seemed to be preparing to welcome someone.

Who besides the Imperial Family in Fusang could invite these two to personally greet them?

Curious, many followed them out.

Shhhhhh!

A short while later, the sound of gasping rang out, causing many Yin Yang Masters' faces to change dramatically. Some monks also looked on in astonishment, secretly observing the figure descending from the sky before them.

The newcomer appeared to be in his twenties, looking quite young and extraordinarily handsome, with an imposing and dignified manner. He wore a light blue elegant garment, with a strange dark red longsword hanging behind him. His figure hovered about thirty meters high in the air, and upon seeing Master Jieyi and Abe no Seimei not far away, he nodded slightly, then leisurely walked down from the sky, as if there were invisible steps in the air.

What kind of technique is this?

The Yin Yang Masters present asked themselves, none of them capable of such a feat, naturally filled with shock, secretly speculating about the identity of this person.

"Master Jieyi," Su Ziyu smiled and greeted.

To ensure this appearance was sufficiently spectacular, he had put in quite some effort, deliberately using spiritual energy to present himself as a Sword Immortal. The meteor suspended behind him was naturally not an Immortal Sword, but a projection controlled by spiritual energy, and his descent from the sky wasn't cloud-soaring but a visual effect created by spiritual flight.

"A distinguished guest arrives!"

"Please enter." Master Jieyi clasped his hands together, introducing the person beside him: "This is Abe no Seimei, the most renowned Yin Yang Master of Fusang today."

"And this... is the successor of a Sword Immortal from Huaxia..."

Su Ziyu nodded slightly to the Abe no Seimei before him, saying: "My surname is Su."

This was his first close encounter with Abe no Seimei. This legendary Yin Yang Master of Fusang indeed had an extremely handsome appearance, though there was a touch of delicate elegance, lacking some masculine fortitude. Abe no Seimei, despite his age, still looked like someone in his thirties, and the two young men beside him were his sons. At this moment, it seemed someone recognized Su Ziyu and whispered closely with one another.

Su Ziyu didn't mind, instead directly looking towards Master Jieyi in front of him, and slowly said: "I went to the Netherworld last night and discovered the issues within the Underworld are even more severe!"

His words quickly drew the attention of others.

Su Ziyu glanced back at Abe no Seimei beside him, then continued: "Yama of the Netherworld is missing! Ghost Capital seems to have been secretly seized by demons!"

"I also saw someone who looked exactly like Abe no Seimei."

"He was clad in black and walked with the demons, and it seems all of this has significant linkage to him!"

Blame-shifting must be decisive!

The last time Su Ziyu was caught off guard and had a big blame shifted onto him by the Judge. Had it not been for the later chaos in the Netherworld, he might have been captured by the underworld officials.

Regardless of the truth, first pin a dark blame on Abe no Seimei.
