Chapter 373 Surrender
After I finished speaking, the fox demon’s eyes trembled violently!

But soon, she returned to normal.

Then, she smiled meaningfully at me, left the room without saying anything.

I stared at the fox demon's back, and my face gradually became serious.

If nothing else, my guess should be right.

Sword guard, sword guard, I didn’t expect that the sword guard was actually Abe Sakuragi Rei!
Of course, I can only guess here. As for the willow leaf sword pattern that appears behind Abe Sakuragi Rei, I am still confused.

I don't know what form this sword exists in.

I suppressed the doubts in my heart and looked at Rei Abe Sakuragi.

She was still in pain, and even had chills coming out of her body.

I sighed, Abe Sakuragi Rei took me in. She was in danger right now, so I naturally wouldn't ignore her, but subduing the fox demon as a shikigami was a dangerous thing.

At this moment, the only thing that restrains me from staying in Japan is actually the matter about Xuanzang. But I believe that if I subdue the fox demon as a shikigami, I will be completely involved in the Japanese Onmyoji world and will not be able to escape easily!

At that time, as Xuetangyan said, I not only had to deal with the pursuit of Yanxia forces, but also was controlled by the Japanese Onmyoji world.

So I can't easily agree to the fox demon, I have to think carefully for a while.

However, now I can only feel wronged by Abe Sakuragi Rei...

One night, I stayed by her side, watching over Rei Abe Sakuragi.

During this period, Abe Jieshan also came several times. Although this man's conduct was not very good, at least he still looked like a father.

The fox demon also came a few times in disguise, and the three of us took turns taking care of Abe Sakuragi Rei throughout the night.

The next day, the four of us had to go together to receive the so-called highest reward.

But Abe Sakuragi Rei is ill in bed and someone must take care of her.

Originally, Abe Jie-san asked the fox demon to take care of Abe Sakuragi Rei, but after all, the fox demon was lurking around Abe Jie-san with ulterior motives. I was a little afraid of what the fox demon would do to Sakura Rei alone, so I asked Abe Jie-san to take care of Sakuragi Rei. stay.

I went to see Lord Abe alone!
Anyway, Mr. Abe's real intention is also on me. Whether Mr. Abe and the others go there is not a big problem.

Soon a servant from the Tsuchimikado family came to pick me up.

I got in the car and was led by the servant, and I arrived in a moment.

But when I was taken to the place where I received the award by the servant, I was stunned.

There was only one person in the spacious square.

Lord Abe!
In addition, no one, not even Abe and his family, who won No. 2, and Yoshi Abe's family, who won No. 3, came to receive the award.

"Junior Chen Jiling has met the elders."

I said without humility.

This time can be regarded as my official meeting with the highest-ranking boss in Japan’s Onmyoji world.

Abe's face remained unchanged. He slowly looked at me and said, "Are you the only one?"

I nodded and said, "It's just me."

Lord Abe suddenly laughed and said, "It doesn't matter if you are alone, come with me."

With that said, Abe Eiji walked straight forward.

My eyes narrowed slightly, and I didn’t know what Abe Eiji was thinking at the moment, but one thing that was certain at the moment was that Abe Eiji’s target was indeed me, not Abe Jiezan and others.

Then, I followed Abe Eiji and walked towards a wooden house.

This wooden house is a bit different, it doesn't look like it is lived in.

When I walked in, I found that this was indeed the case.

White smoke curled up inside the house, and dozens of spiritual tablets were densely placed inside the house!
This is the ancestral hall of the Tsuchimikado family!
In front of me, on the spiritual tablet placed in the highest place, there is a name written...Abe Seimei!
This ancestral hall seems to have a mysterious power. Its solemnity and heavy atmosphere can make people feel heavy unconsciously.

"Do you know what the rewards are for becoming the No. 1 fighter in our Tsuchimikado family?"

Lord Abe looked at me and said with a half-smile.

"Participating in the meeting of the Five Alliances on behalf of the Tsuchimikado family?" I said bluntly. "Yes, this is the same reward." Lord Abe nodded and said, "But this is just for the family's contribution, and it is not a reward. There is another reward, which is the highest reward of my Tsuchimikado family!"

"Oh? Senior, please clarify." I said unexpectedly.

Abe did not speak immediately, but turned to the dozens of spiritual tablets. His voice suddenly became passionate, and he said: "That is the person who is qualified to kowtow and bow nine times to the ancestors of my Tsuchimikado family. The god of the clan...Abe Seimei burns incense and burns blood!"

My pupils shrank.

The body took a step back unconsciously.

Mr. Abe, what does this mean?
"Since you are the son-in-law of my Tsuchimikado family, and since you are here to receive this highest reward on behalf of my rebellious son Abe Jiezan, then I will make an exception and allow you, a foreigner, to pay homage to the ancestors of my Tsuchimikado family. Please come forward."

Lord Abe smiled playfully and continued.

My body took a step back again!
Do you want me to kowtow to the ancestors of the Tsuchimikado family?

This is the highest level of memorial ceremony, the highest memorial ceremony that cannot be accepted except by ancestors and emperors!
Don't tell me that I'm not a descendant of the Tsuchimikado family. I'm not even a Japanese. How can I, a descendant of Yanxia, ​​possibly kowtow to a Japanese ancestor three times and nine times?
If I were like this, my spine would be broken by my uncle!
As for burning incense and burning blood for Abe Seimei, it is absolutely impossible!
Dropping the blood from your palms and burning it with incense is not just a gift of memorial, it is also a gift of allegiance!

If I really do this, it means that I will do everything for the Tsuchimikado family from now on. Abe Seimei will be my god, and I will be loyal to him forever!

It is undeniable that Abe Seimei is powerful and is the undisputed number one Onmyoji in Japanese history. I do admire him, but it is far from enough to make me loyal!

"Why, don't you want to?"

Lord Abe smiled coldly and asked me.

"It's impossible."

I looked directly at Lord Abe and spoke firmly.

"Hahahaha!"

Lord Abe laughed loudly, with unparalleled murderous intent in his laughter. After a while, he was heard to say: "Do you deserve the ceremony of memorial ceremony and the oath of burning blood?"

After saying that, the temperature of this small ancestral hall dropped instantly.

The cold and suffocating pressure made it almost impossible for me to breathe!
I saw a black snake as thick as a bucket crawling out of the memorial tablet in the ancestral hall!
No, not a black snake!
It has feet with two claws, each claw has three sharp toes!
There are white patterns on its neck, its tail is bare, its scales are shining with a strange luster, and there is faint water vapor lingering on its body!
The most stunning thing is that there are two blue candles on its head.

The candlelight is floating, but it has a magical power that makes people fall into it!
Looks like a dragon but not a dragon, looks like a snake but not a snake!
This is a Jiao!

"This is my shikigami, the Zhuyin Dragon Jiao!" Abe Eiji said loudly, and at the same time, the black dragon hung behind Abe Eiji.

I stared at the Zhuyin Dragon Jiao.

This creature, which is infinitely close to a dragon, exudes an aura that is even more terrifying than the guhuo bird we met in the Shikigami Forest!
I have a feeling that the strength of this dragon dragon is probably that of the middle stage of transformation!
Even a shikigami has the strength of the middle stage of transformation, so what kind of strength is the head of the Tsuchimikado family in front of me...

A state of transformation?

Or is it a stronger realm beyond the physical form that I don't know about?
Mr. Abe walked up to me and put a hand on my shoulder. In that moment, it was as if a thousand pounds had hit my shoulder!
My legs are so uncontrollable that I want to kneel down!
I quickly activated the energy of all things in my energy channels and the source of the great avenue.

The surrounding Qi forcibly stabilized my legs, preventing me from kneeling in the Japanese ancestral hall!
"puff--"

However, I still spit out a mouthful of blood!

Abe Eilord's strength is so terrifying, he almost took away my dignity with just one hand!
Is this the leader of Japan's first family, Abe Eilord?

Seeing that I did not kneel down, Lord Abe did not continue to exert force. Instead, he sneered and said, "You, Chen Jiling, have two choices now..."

"First, completely surrender to our Tsuchimikado family and participate in this Five Alliance meeting on behalf of our Tsuchimikado family. After the Five Alliance meeting, if you can survive the attacks of the four Misaki families and come back alive, I will officially admit it. You are a member of my Tsuchimikado family!"

"Second, die in my family's ancestral hall right now! Use the blood of your Yanxia people to wash away the shame of our people in this fight!"

I looked at Mr. Abe tightly, I understood, I completely understood.

It turns out that Lord Abe asked me to represent the Tsuchimikado family in the Five Alliance Meeting to risk my life!
If nothing else goes wrong, the four Misaki families should have united together to target the Tsuchimikado family, and Abe Eilord just wanted to push me to the front and be the scapegoat!
However, right now, there is one thing that makes me feel at ease.

Judging from this situation, Mr. Abe probably hasn't discovered my true identity yet.

Otherwise he wouldn't have called me Chen Jiling, and maybe he would have used my true identity to threaten me.

"I'll count to three seconds and agree after three seconds, otherwise, the head will fall to the ground and the corpse will be eaten!" Abe said without any doubt.

My eyes moved, and before Mr. Abe could say it aloud, he immediately said:
"I promise! I promise to surrender to the Tsuchimikado family, and I promise to represent the Tsuchimikado family in the meeting of the Five Alliances!"
