The World Trembled was confused by the surname Tsuchimikado, but One Period One Rise was very familiar with it.

If Tsuchimikado was simply mentioned, not many people would know who he was, and why even a powerful monster like Cat Sensei would find it troublesome to deal with him. However, when it came to Haruaki Abe, they would be very familiar with him. Tsuchimikado was the descendant of Haruaki Abe. As for why he changed his surname, no one knew.

Tsuchimikado was considered a big surname among the Onmyojis. Although it was passed down from generation to generation, the Onmyojis that had been passed down from ancient times were slowly losing their former glory. In fact, not many people knew about the Onmyojis now. However, other professions, such as Demon Slayer Families, were popping up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain. Natsume did not know who Tsuchimikado was, but that did not stop him from observing Cat Sensei's expression. There were not many things that could make a powerful monster, who was always arrogant and looked down on others, feel troubled.

"Onmyojis are not very common here. Basically, Demon Slayers are the ones who deal with monsters. That's why Cat Sensei doesn't know why Tsuchimikado, a Onmyojis, would come looking for me. He might have come looking for you because he mentioned that One Period One Rise had the aura of a Spirit-branded Retainer. It should be the work of a Onmyojis, so …" Natsume scratched his face in embarrassment. A few days ago, they had almost gotten into a fight because of a one-sided misunderstanding between them. Today, Cat Sensei had brought up the word "Spirit-branded Retainer" again. He was afraid that The World Trembled would kill him.

"Demon Slayer … Sanchū told me before that their God's Inquisitor is also a Demon Slayer. Her name is Sakura. We didn't come here because of that fat cat. I felt that the monster's mark on your body was very familiar, so we came looking for you."

This time, when they were closer, The World Trembled could clearly feel that the monster's aura was exactly the same as Sanchū's.

"Then you mean …"

"If you want to remove the mark, you'll have to meet them, and we'll go with you."

The three of them discussed the specific time of the appointment in the letter and their identities. In the end, they decided to have The World Trembled as their entourage, while Ichiichi would follow in the dark. If this Tsuchimikado Momo really had something to do with Sanchū Sōjin, as the newly installed The World Trembled might not be considered to have anything to do with the Government of the Hour, but The World Trembled seemed to have underestimated something … such as his appearance.

The appointment was on the weekend three days later, and the location was also on a mountain not far from Bayuan. Natsume and Gui Zhi, who had really exchanged names with The World Trembled One Period One Rise, were disappointed after looking for the cat teacher the day before the departure, which led to the three people being absent-minded when they set off.

"Natsume, do you have something on your mind?"

Tianxia, who was walking beside him, looked at Natsume, who had been bowing his head and thinking about something, and was a little worried. If it weren't for Ichiichi, who was in the dark, pulling him, the child would have hit a telephone pole now.

"No … I'm just a little worried about the cat teacher. Although he occasionally goes out to drink, there won't be a situation where he doesn't come home for several days … I'm afraid something will happen to him."

Natsume's worry didn't seem to be fake. The cat teacher occasionally went to places with many monsters to drink and eat, but every night, he would come home on time with the smell of alcohol. Since he went to find The World Trembled that morning and brought him home, he hadn't seen him again. At first, he thought that the cat teacher was angry and ran away again. He estimated that the next day, he would want to eat steamed buns and come back to buy it. As a result, three days had passed, and he didn't even see a strand of cat hair.

"It's okay, don't worry … Although I don't want to admit it, the fat cat is also a big monster. Maybe he drank too much at my place before, and now he fell into a pit and is sleeping soundly. When the time comes, clear all the distracting thoughts in your heart. Many monsters will see through your heart and control you."

The World Trembled said seriously, but Natsume was obviously not in the mood to listen, and the worry on his face could be seen at a glance.

"We've entered the barrier. Be careful."

Obviously, they had passed through a layer of water-like film. Tianxia felt that half of the plan they had discussed before was ruined, but since they were already here, they couldn't let all their previous efforts go to waste. If there was a barrier, the other party would definitely notice them, and then Phase 1, who was hiding in the dark, would be useless. Tianxia asked Phase 1 to stay put for now, and he followed Natsume to the house halfway up the mountain.

The house halfway up the mountain was a large Japanese-style courtyard. As soon as Natsume and Tianxia approached, they could hear the bustling sounds inside, as if a banquet was being held. The two monsters guarding the door walked over as soon as they saw Natsume. Their eyes were like hungry wolves that saw fat meat, and Natsume, who was treated as fat meat, felt his hair stand on end.

"Are you Lord Natsume?

Lord Peach has been waiting for a long time, please. "

The two monsters only had eyes for Natsume, and completely ignored The World Trembled. Natsume asked The World Trembled with his eyes. Looking at the enthusiastic monsters and listening to the bustling sounds in the house, Tianxia nodded to Natsume, and the two of them followed the monsters into the house, including Phase 1, who was hiding in the dark.

There was indeed a banquet in the courtyard. There were tables and chairs in the spacious courtyard, and people gathered in twos and threes to eat and drink. It was very lively. When Natsume and Tianxia entered, the others acted as if they didn't notice. The little monster led the two of them to a slightly remote corner. The table was already filled with food and drink, and the two of them didn't dare to touch a single one, fearing that something might happen.

The banquet continued, and the sky gradually darkened. When they arrived, it was still morning, but after sitting for a while, the sky turned dark. Before the guests at the table could enjoy themselves to the fullest, the evening program had already arrived.

Women with slightly exposed shoulders walked in from the main entrance one by one, dressed to the nines. The breeze brought with them a sweet smell. The World Trembled frowned and reached out to cover Natsume's eyes.

"Eh?"

"You're just a child, don't look at this."

The World Trembled was right to do so. After a while, Natsume heard some unbearable sounds coming from the guests. The women's laughter still lingered in his ears, and Natsume's face turned red.

The World Trembled looked like he would rather leave than show Natsume this. Even One Stage One, who was hiding in the dark, coughed awkwardly.

The originally chaotic scene suddenly changed. It was unknown which man screamed, but the surrounding women who were originally half-dressed all took out short knives. For a moment, the banquet became incomparably chaotic. The women's actions of cutting throats were simple and neat, turning the banquet into a massacre. Blood meandered along the ground.

The World Trembled wanted to leave, but One Stage One stopped him. Some of the men who reacted to the situation took out their weapons and started to fight back. However, the two groups of people who were fighting did not come to Natsume's table.

"This is just an illusion."

One Stage One Rise revealed himself. He looked at Natsume, whose eyes were covered by The World Trembled, and then he went over to cover Natsume's ears.

"Eh?"
