Chapter 28 Clues

"Gyuki, what do you think?"

"Base on the level of shikigami that they sent it seems to me that they're currently not planning to fight and just wanted to reveal their existence to us." Gyuki replied with a frown. He didn't expect that there would be onmyouji's living on this world based on the records that he got all the people are supposed to be just cultivators. Even Xiao Lie, didn't have any knowledge about them which could only mean that just like their Nura Clan they came from a different world.

"Sodaisho, If you give me a permission, I can go ahead and hunt those bastards." Karasu Tengu gritted his teeth, he couldn't believe that he let his guard down too much and didn't recognize that it was only a shikigami.

"Calm down, Karasu Tengu, now is not the time to be hot-headed. We don't have any idea on how large the enemy currently is. It's much better to get some information first before tracking lest we lose without getting anything. We also need to be careful since we got stronger when we came here there's no way those people would remain the same" Gyuki said with a serious expression.

Normally when Gyuuki berates Karasu Tengu the latter would always retaliate in the same kind but if it's related to the clan he would only ponder silently.

"Nurarihyon-sama, what are these onmyouji's?" Ddraig on the side can no longer stand being left out in the conversation and asked.

"Onmyōji is what we call humans who use spiritual power to combat yōkai like us. They are known for summoning shikigami, just like the one you saw just now. They also specialize in chanting mantras, and utilizing various techniques called Onmyōjutsu." Instead of Hannya the one who replied was Rihan who was standing at the side.

"Yokai?"

"We are a class of supernatural monsters, spirits, and demons to be exact." He swept his eyes to everyone and added "When I observed the shikigami earlier I got this feeling that this onmyoiji that we may face in the future aren't the same onmyouji in our world. They're much more stronger" Hannya replied this time. 'Just like what that 'man' said when we first met, I'm not the only one who got transported here. I never expected that the one he warned me about the 2nd time we met would be that guy.'

When they met in Xiao Clan Manor that man said that he's not the only being who could move someone from another world, he said that there the other being aside from him has sent a representative in this world and once he awakens that person will expose himself. At that time he didn't know what 'awaken' means but now he know. It means that once the other soul namely Nurarihyon accepts him and they become a single entity he will awaken.

Those words - 'the next time our paths intersect will be the date of your death' is something he couldn't forget. The only thing that bothers him now is how did that man figure out his identity as an Ayakashi, there's no way that guy would reincarnate as an onmyouji unless..

A cold glint flash from Hannya's eyes. Since you guys massacred my family back then, then don't blame me if I retaliate in the same way. He then looked at Rihan: "It seems like we need to separate into two groups. Rihan, I'll be summoning -"

[Ding! Congratulations Host for successfully spreading the name of Nura Clan in the Moon City.

System update is available.]

[Would you like to update system?]

[Y/N]

"Nevermind, we'll discuss this later." Hannya dissappeared in a flash and reappeared in his room, he accepted the system update and he felt his entire surrounding turned dark.

[System Upgrade Initializing..]

...

A person with a dark robe looked at the entire events that happened between the shikigami and he smiled in the dark which only showed his two rows of white teeth.

"So this is the person Seimei-sama is talking about."

Another dark figure appeared.

"Yeah, he is. He looks a bit more different than those ugly and weak yokai's that we fought back then so don't underestimate them and just keep observing."

"Sheesh, what's with you? Okay, got it. I won't. Tsk no fun."

...

"Hey, have you heard about what happened in Floating Cloud City? It seems like a mysterious leader of a clan who massacred a mercenary group in Cyan Forest Town appeared and fought with the Patriarch of Xiao Sect."

"You believe those baseless rumours? Why would the Xiao Sect Patriarch personally go to that tiny city?"

"Young man, I see that you're living cluelessly in this world, my friend told me who happen to be there at that time saw the fight between the Xiao Sect Patriarch and the Clan Master of this mysterious Nura Clan!"

"Nura Clan? I've never heard of that clan before, if what said just where did this clan pop out from?"

"I don't know but base on the information I got the Xiao Sect Patriarch was destroyed without a chance to fight back at all."

"Hmmph, as if those information are true."

Like a storm the news about what happened in Floating Cloud City spread far and wide. Some people were in awe while some believed that all of it are just baseless rumour.

But the Nura Clan name has spread it's name to the Moon City..

"Hmm, maybe this clan is somewhat related to that phenomenon, tell the princess that we got some clue."

The two figures behind his back slowly dissappeared from the crowd.

...

Burning Heaven Clan Branch Headquarters

"Nura Clan?"

An old man clad in red embroidered with crimson red flames pattern looked at the messenger.

"Y-yes, 6th Elder." the man stuttered from the heat that was being released from this old man's profound aura. He carefully gave all the information that he got regarding this new clan.

"You're dismissed."

As if he was pardoned from death the messenger left the room in a flash.

"Nura Clan, huh? I need to relay this information to the Main Clan."

...

Xiao Sect Branch Headquarters

Xiao Juetian looked at the sky as the light is slowly being devoured by darkness.

Tonight will be the end of the 2 days agreement that he had with Hannya. He was getting nervous, then it suddenly dawned upon him that he didn't know the whereabouts of that man when suddenly he saw a black dot coming closer and closer from where he stood.

Just a few minutes and the figure of man was revealed.

He has a human body and looks but the black ink wings on his back betrayed his identity, together with his blazing red armor he looked honourable like a personal guard of a king.

"Juetian, correct?"

"Yes, it's me."

"Follow me, I will guide you to the Supreme Commander." Kuroumaru spread his wings and flew towards the Scarlet Fountain Range.

What is this clan?! Is it a demon clan?! What did I get myself into? Without a choice Juetian followed Kuroumaru.
