Chapter 402: Chapter 229: Thousand Hui City, The Palace Master of Yiye Palace_3
The ’Fire Worshipping Senior Yin Yang Master’ raises his chin, proudly introducing you to the real owner of ’Thousand Hui City,’ also known as the palace to which it belongs, ’Yiye Palace.’
Passing through the strict guards, you enter the palace city, seeing many varying-sized grand palaces within ’Yiye Palace,’ each person you pass dressed in hunting clothes and wearing a black hat is a Yin Yang Master.
You observe these Yin Yang masters closely and discover that there are class distinctions among them. The style of their hunting clothes differentiates the status of the Yin Yang Master’s rank.
The passing Yin Yang Masters are slightly startled when they notice you, but their status seems low, so they quickly divert their gaze after looking at you once...
The ’Fire Worshipping Senior Yin Yang Master’ dismounts and proceeds to guide you, passing through several buildings and checkpoints. Finally, you reach the deepest part of the palace city.
The grand palace before your eyes has a golden arched barrier protecting it.
This golden barrier is shimmering with tadpole-shaped seals that move around its outer wall. This is the ’Guardian of the Ten Directions’ Absolute Realm’ that you’re familiar with.
Looking past the golden barrier, two enormous Shikigami statues guard the entrance to the palace.
The left statue is a monstrous ’demon’ Shikigami with a green face and fangs, while the right statue is a ’monster’ Shikigami resembling a giant dog with black wings on its back.
The ’Fire Worshipping Senior Yin Yang Master’ explains your identity and purpose to the Yin Yang Masters guarding outside the barrier, hoping to request an audience with the vice palace master...
The stationed Yin Yang Master steps into the barrier to enter the palace and report on the matter...
You can’t help but feel puzzled. Why are you meeting with the vice palace master instead of the most senior palace master of ’Yiye Palace’?
The Yin Yang Master sees your doubt and explains that the Palace Master is old and hasn’t been active for many years. The one who currently holds power is the Vice Palace Master...
The one who went to report the matter still hasn’t returned. The Yin Yang Master, fearing you might be growing impatient from waiting, takes the initiative to explain...
The two Shikigami statues guarding the main entrance of ’Yiye Palace’ in front of you are of great importance. The demon Shikigami on the left is called ’Rakshasa,’ while the monster Shikigami on the right is named ’Black Heavenly Dog.’
Both are extremely powerful Shikigami and unique to ’Yiye Palace.’
If the Vice Palace Master favours a particularly talented Yin Yang Master, they might award them one of the two types of Shikigami for them to command.
They’re visiting ’Fugang City’ because the Vice Palace Master’s blood descendants were brutally slaughtered by the ’residual evil spirits.’
If they can capture that damnable monster, they will be awarded the ’Black Heavenly Dog’ Shikigami.
The Vice Palace Master placed a curse mark on that ’residual evil spirit,’ fully confident that they could capture the monster and bring it back to ’Yiye Palace.’
But by the time they led a group of Yin Yang Masters to the ’Otani Mansion’ in Fugang City, the token used to track the cursed mark showed no signs...
Even so, having the chance to meet a foreign magician, exchange and learn from each other’s techniques, will also be a great achievement. The Vice Palace Master will undoubtedly not be stingy with rewards.
The ’Fire Worshipping Senior Yin Yang Master’ subtly hints that you should not hide your techniques when meeting the Vice Palace Master. A candid exchange will definitely bring great benefits...
Not understanding their words, you voice your doubts. If the ’Otani Family’ in Fugang City is the Vice Palace Master’s family, how could a minor monster wreak havoc there?
The Yin Yang Master sighs. Normally, the little monster would dare not be so reckless. But these past few days, ’Yiye Palace’ is hosting the ’Shikigami Ritual Conference.’ All powerful Yin Yang Masters guarding the ’Otani Family’ have returned to the palace to attend the conference, providing the minor monster the perfect opportunity...
Just as you’re about to ask about the ’Shikigami Ritual Conference,’ the person who went to report the matter returns. He hands you and the Yin Yang Master a token filled with seals, indicating that the Vice Palace Master has summoned you...
You have obtained the ’Token of Extremity’ (key)!
"The Vice Palace Master should be the great-grandmother of ’Otani Taro’ - the one who cast a curse on me."
"I wonder if the Vice Palace Master’s Shell is strong enough..."
You and the Yin Yang Master, holding the token, pass through the ’Guardian of the Ten Directions’ Absolute Realm’ and enter the grand palace side by side...
