Chapter 476

It was a man with bandages all over his body, and the few exposed skins were covered with burn marks, almost like a human.

It was the head of the Himejima family, Himejima Suzaku.

The sneak attack last night had severely injured him. If he had not used the Phoenix Tears purchased by the family to keep him alive, he would have died long ago.

It was because the Phoenix Tears could not cure his injuries that the Himejima family confirmed that the sneak attacker last night was definitely a super strong man with the strength of the "Monster Lord".

Otherwise, Himejima Suzaku, whose strength was not much different from that of the Monster Lord, would not have been so severely injured.

At this time, Himejima Suzaku, who was enduring physical pain, gritted his teeth and opened his red eyes and said:

"Suzaku."

He called Himejima Suzaku's name, and then asked in a deep voice:

"You lead the team, activate the spirit beast Suzaku, and go to deal with those Kyoto monsters, can you do it?"

Himejima Suzaku wanted to refuse.

But the sights that focused on her made it impossible for her to say no.

After all, she was still not strong enough... When the head of the family made the decision and most of the elders were planning to go to war, her right to speak as the heir of the head of the family was still too small.

Her hands clenched secretly under the kimono, and Suzaku Himejima was silent for a moment, and finally sighed and said:

"No problem."

She was still too weak after all...

Chapter 0615 Suzaku Himejima made up her mind

As Suzaku Himejima accepted the task.

A group of warmongers cheered, as if all monsters would be wiped out once Suzaku of the Himejima family was dispatched.

During the discussion of the many elders to decide the time of attack, Suzaku Himejima arranged for his confidants to continue to listen, and he claimed that he needed to adjust his state, left the discussion hall, and came to the back mountain of the Himejima family.

There is a shrine near the back mountain, which is where her aunt, Juuri Himejima, used to live.

Arriving in front of the deserted shrine, Suzaku Himejima looked at the shrine that was already covered with spider webs, and said lightly:

"Your goal has been achieved."

Black feathers fell.

Baiqiu appeared in front of the sacred torii, leaning on the pillar of the torii, looking at the house covered with spider webs.

Seeing Baiqiu appear, Suzaku Himejima thought as expected, but his face became more serious and said:

"Have the fallen angels and monsters joined forces?"

Baiqiu did not answer, but just looked at the old house in silence.

"Can you give me some more time? Give me a few more years, I will be sure to defeat Zhu Huang and become the head of the family, then..."

Before Suzaku Himejima finished speaking, Baiqiu said:

"Zhu Li is dead."

"At the beginning, I was concerned about Emperor Shitian's spying on the fallen angels, and I was concerned about Zhu Li's request before her death that I should not kill her relatives. I also wanted to see what kind of answer you would give me after promising to give me an explanation, so I didn't do it."

Suzaku Himejima was silent.

Baiqiu said calmly at this time:

"Just like what my daughter Akeno said, I am a coward, but even a coward can't stand it anymore."

Himejima Suzaku looked embarrassed, but couldn't refute.

She had a good relationship with her aunt Himejima Juri, but it was because of that that she couldn't persuade Baiqiu anymore.

After all, he gave her a chance to rectify the Himejima family, but in the end, she handed in an unsatisfactory answer.

"I will sneak into the monsters and kill the two sons of the trash in the Himejima family. Just treat it as a gift to you."

"I'll persuade you one last time, Suzaku, that man, the new monster general is a figure that I can't match."

"The Himejima family is on the verge of extinction, you'd better be mentally prepared."

As Baiqiu said this, his figure gradually disappeared into the air.

Himejima Suzaku watched Baiqiu leave, and finally, she sighed.

"I know that my family has gone the wrong way..."

Useless members of the family are abandoned, those who disobey the family rules are executed, and the blood of the Himejima family is absolutely forbidden to be polluted by any impurities.

Such a Himejima family, although under high pressure, still maintains the status of the Five Demon-Exorcist Families under the inheritance of the spiritual beast Suzaku.

But compared with other recuperating forces, the Himejima family has the most conflicts.

Not to mention the distant ones, the recent one is that the execution of Himejima Zhuli attracted the hatred of Baiqiu, and the expulsion of Himejima Tangdi led to the other party's creation of the Xuchan Organization, researching demonic power, and waiting for revenge.

And in recent years, her cousin Ji Se Tobio, who was accepted as a disciple by Azazel.

These people were all expelled by the Himejima family and should have become strong foreign aids for the Himejima family.

But now, they have all become enemies.

The family rules are too stupid, what can she do? She is also desperate.

Aunt Zhu Li was expelled just because her blood had the ability to attract monsters, and her direct line was executed for giving birth to a fallen angel. This was the most hateful and sad thing for her.

She was only 11 years old that year, and she was powerless to stop the execution of the family. But her aunt, who knew her thoughts, still tried to buy time for her at the worship hill before she died.

But now, she has no choice.

Aunt, Akeno... Himejima Suzaku closed her eyes and finally sighed.

Perhaps, not stopping the worship hill is also a solution.

Since it is impossible to change the stubbornness of the Himejima family from the inside, then break it and then build it.

Let those old stubborn people die, and I will rule the Himejima family.

Himejima Suzaku finally made up his mind.

She always knew that she was not cruel enough, so she could not accomplish anything. Now that things have come to this, she will be cruel and remove those tumors for the Himejima family.

Thinking of this, Himejima Suzaku took one last look at the old shrine, then turned and left.

——

It was long after Himejima Suzaku left.

Inside the shrine, two figures sneakily walked out.

Among them, a girl with fiery red hair and an unusually plump figure, who was also wearing a school uniform, crossed her arms and said:

"It looks like, as you expected, the Himejima family is really in big trouble this time."

"Ah la la, isn't this a good thing? The five demon exorcism families are fighting with the monsters. Can't we demons take the opportunity to seize the territory?"

The black-haired girl with a high ponytail and a figure even more powerful than the red-haired girl said with a smile.

"That being said...but Akeno..."

Rias Gremory looked at her childhood sweetheart with complicated eyes for the first time:

"You never said you were the daughter of Thunder Angel Baiqiu."

"You didn't tell me that you have been spying on the Himejima family, and you also occupied the house in my hometown."

Akeno Himejima looked at Rias with a smile, and at the end of the sentence, she was already gritting her teeth:

"Thanks to the familiar you sent, some things in the house can no longer be used. Those are things left by my mother."

"Ah this..." Rias suddenly looked away feeling guilty.

In any case, it is indeed unethical to destroy a friend's mother's belongings.

"Anyway, let's ignore this for now."

Rias deliberately changed the subject, not daring to look directly at Himejima Akeno and said:

"Are you going to get involved in this?"

"No..."

Himejima Akeno was silent for a moment and shook her head.

She was now a member of the Gremory family and her stance would be the same as Rias' stance.

And Rias, the sister of the Demon King Sajax, can easily be thought of as the demon's will at this time.

If she gets involved in the fight between the five exorcist families and monsters, Rias will be hurt.

"Then we just watch?" Rias was a little unwilling.

It's a bit frustrating to know who the little sister's enemy is but not be able to take action.

"Let's see." Himejima Akeno said calmly: "Really speaking, we may not be asked to take action. It's rare for that guy to be tough, let him do it."

Rias instantly understood who the guy in Himejima Akeno's mouth was.

But is Bai Qiu so cowardly in Himejima Akeno's impression?

The Thunder Angel was obviously famous on the battlefield, but he turned out to be a coward in the eyes of his daughter? It's also pathetic.

"Well, since that's what you think, let's do it first."

Rias sighed, looking in the direction of Himejima Suzaku, and narrowed her eyes slightly.

She actually has Xiao Jiujiu in her heart.

If Himejima Suzaku fails and is in danger, she will definitely take out the demon chess piece and turn the next head of the Himejima family into her vassal.

Of course, this possibility is very small, but maybe if you watch the theater for a long time, you might encounter such a good thing.

The Gremory family has a talent for 'treasure hunting' and never lacks patience.

——

——

At night.

At a time when the monster forces were preparing for war and the five demon-repelling families were frequently deploying their troops in large numbers.

Yasaka Shrine.

Su Jin, who was standing by the fish pond in the backyard, was spreading feed in one hand and holding a bait basin in the other. He looked at Fox-Eared Girl Jiuzhong with a little surprise and said:

"Is anyone planning to meet with me? At this time?"

"Uh-huh!"

Kokonoe nodded repeatedly, then blushed, looking at the open collar of Su Jin's kimono, staring at the exposed skin in the area where his eyes were, and quickly lowered his head and said:

"He is my former friend, but his status is a bit special, so..."

Su Jin heard this, smiled and stretched out his hand, rubbing Jiuzhong's head:

"It's hard to say what others say, but since it's Kunou who said so, of course I have to agree."

"Really?" Jiuzhong immediately raised his head and said with wide eyes.

'Of course I lied to you...' Tacheng Heige, who was lying lazily on the lawn, sneered in his heart.

The devil! Old liar!

"Of course it's true." Su Jin smiled, then reached out and patted Jiuchong's waist and said, "Okay, take me to meet your friends."

"Um!"

Jiuzhong nodded, then took Su Jin's hand and walked towards the backyard with a smile.

Chapter 0616 Himejima Suzaku’s bargaining chip

"This way, this way."

In the woods behind Yasaka Shrine, Kunou brought Su Jin here and stopped in front of an ancestral hall.

"This is it."

Jiuchong breathed a sigh of relief after arriving at his destination, then turned his head, his face tightened, and he looked at Su Jin and said:

"General, do you believe me?"
