Chapter 1067: 631. Vest Drop_2

Moreover, even if the ancestral barrier was forcefully breached by a powerful force, she could still understand it; however, the mysterious opening of the void gate did not affect the operation of the ancestral barrier in the slightest.

It was as if a higher-ranked force forcibly overlaid a lower-ranked force. This power from a higher dimension surpassed Kamo Tadayuki’s understanding, even though there was nothing that absurd in the ancestral notes.

However, now is not the time to be shocked.

The Great Onmyoji looked at the two black-robed figures walking out from behind the void gate, her face momentarily unsightly.

Especially when the black-robed man with the spider mask closed the void gate, causing the ancestral barrier to once again become complete, effectively isolating the inside from the outside; Kamo Tadayuki felt somewhat panicked.

A confident beast tamer had crafted an overly solid iron cage to lock herself and the beast inside. While it was initially a means to prevent the beast from escaping, when the one beast suddenly turned into three, the carefully crafted iron cage became an obstacle blocking her own retreat.

However, the Great Onmyoji was resolute at the end. Seeing the previously nearly out-of-control Ibuki Yuuki was fed a potion by another black-robed figure whose form was hidden within a hood and miraculously stopped demonization, returning to normal, she realized that tonight’s plan had completely failed.

Thus, Kamo Tadayuki waved her hand, and the precious ancestral talisman she held was crushed by her own hands. If used properly to seal spells, the ancestral talisman could be recycled and reused multiple times, but it was clear there was no time for such luxury now.

With just a glance, she judged that those two black-robed figures were not to be trifled with, and even in a one-on-one duel, she might not win, let alone now where it’s one against three,

So, let’s retreat strategically for now.

As the talisman in her hand shattered, the power of the barrier that blocked everything around began to quickly wane, whereas a hint of obvious distress flashed across Kamo Tadayuki’s face. Due to the meddling of this damn foreigner tonight, she truly lost on both sides.

“Bastard, consider yourself lucky this time, next time….”

Before leaving, she intended to utter a few harsh words to put psychological pressure on this bastard, wishing she’d live in fear day and night, hopefully crossing the mental red line again from fear.

But just as she finished speaking, a mocking laugh echoed.

“Next time? Sorry, there won’t be a next time for you. Attacking people from my Judgment Court, and you still want to escape?”

The black-robed judge, whose figure was hidden under a hood, laughed, a laugh as cunning as a fox, but the chill in the voice made one feel as if poisonous snakes were crawling all over.

Kamo Tadayuki frowned upon hearing these words.

Though Japan had always been secluded, and the populace generally harbored a sense of superiority as descendants of the immortals, looking down on foreign barbarian witches, as a person in power, the Great Onmyoji was quite aware that the witch world outside had long ceased to be that backward place rife with barbarians.

A hundred years ago, the descriptions of the outside world by a foreigner who intruded on the island brought these rulers a huge impact. Some people found it hard to accept, wondering why those barbarians lived well compared to them, descendants of the immortals, then started to deceive themselves, refusing all external information.

If I don’t know, it doesn’t exist.

There were also some who began to actively seek outside information, wanting to interact with the outside world, feeling perhaps it was indeed time for Japan to connect with the outside world.

Kamo Tadayuki belonged to the Conservatives, unwilling to admit the outside changes, unwilling to go outside, just wanting to stay on the island to study her Yin Yang Technique.

However, even while her heart refused to admit it, the foreigner’s descriptions still pierced her heart.

She could clearly remember every word of that foreigner, so much so that, even though it was her first time seeing the judgment order, she instantly understood what the silver token represented.

As they say, her madness for advancement seemed to have started a hundred years ago, prior she wasn’t as obsessed with power because she had long reached the pinnacle on the island.

However, why did that damned foreigner let her know that there was a broader world, why tell her that even as a Great Onmyoji at the pinnacle, she was barely a lower peak outside, essentially nothing, and above her besides the blazing Third King, there were still the illustrious Assembly of Sages.

How could I, a descendent of the immortals, be lesser than a group of barbarians?

“This is Japan, a place where you outsiders can run amok as you wish. Do not push your luck.”

Looking at herself about to retreat, yet the two black-robed judges still intended to obstruct, Kamo Tadayuki burned with anger, furiously shouting in an extremely xenophobic manner.

She wanted to create a commotion, attracting others’ attention, believing that these foreigners wouldn’t dare truly make a move on her, a native, inside Japan, as that would surely provoke a joint retaliation.

However, the two black-robed judges looked at her calmly.
