[But you suddenly realized a problem. 】

【That is the purpose of Chou Yuqian. 】

[She appeared here to prevent herself from appearing. 】

[How to do this? 】

[In an instant, you suddenly understood. 】

"Was your original intention to let Lai Guang kill you here?"

Ian looked at Chou Yuqian in front of him and expressed his thoughts.

"In this case, there will be no such thing as 'Minamoto Yorimitsu turning into Ugozen'."

"You think that solves everything, right?"

Chou Yuqian was stunned for a moment - she didn't seem to think that Ian would understand what she was thinking.

However, she soon felt relieved.

The ghost-killing warrior turned around and looked at Ian.

"Yes."

"So you understand how stupid you were for not letting Minamoto no Yorimitsu come here, right?"

"Abe, you messed everything up."

"But all this is not true in the first place, right?"

Ian countered Chou Yuqian's words without mercy.

"Yes."

"You may indeed be able to let Minamoto no Yorimitsu kill you."

"but--"

"That's not going to change, is it?"

"She will still become you and stand on this ghost island."

"..."

[Your words touched Chou Yuqian’s heart. 】

[She looked at you, losing her calmness little by little. 】

[You realize that this may be something that has troubled her for many years after the First World War in Dajiangshan. 】

"Then what should I do?"

Chou Yuqian looked at Ian in front of him.

"This is the only way I can think of."

She may have realized all this already - but had to try all the seemingly stupid things.

After realizing this, Ian thought for a moment and replied:

"You don't have to do anything."

"I don't have to do anything?"

"Correct."

Ian looked directly at the face in front of him that was almost the same as Minamoto Yorimitsu.

"It's not something you should think about."

"You are already suffering enough when you are cursed by being killed by a ghost."

"so--"

"Leave the rest to me."

"here you are?"

"Yes, leave it to me." Ian nodded, "I will definitely find a way to prevent her from turning into you."

"I promise you this as the Great Onmyoji."

"..."

The thunder in the sky became smaller and smaller.

The dark clouds that originally carried the electric light dispersed little by little.

The open white light fell on Chou Yuqian's body.

With an expressionless face, she raised the corners of her mouth little by little, and finally formed a faint smile.

"I understand."

"In this case, I can only believe you."

"So--"

"Take it with you."

As soon as Chou Yuqian finished speaking, a golden light appeared in front of Ian.

A golden double-eared trophy appeared in front of him - this was obviously what she said was the foundation for maintaining everything.

"Chou Yuqian, this..."

"It doesn't matter, just take it away - just enough to make this ghost island disappear completely."

"It's just that I hope you can keep your word and don't let her be me."

"So--"

Chou Yuqian looked at Ian, with a little more emotion in his eyes that was not there just now.

"Never again... no, never again."

"I never want to see you."

[The Holy Grail of exhausted talents has been obtained: You have obtained a Holy Grail that maintains the existence of Onigashima and Uchigo. 】

[You feel it is somewhat familiar. 】

[But at this moment, you have no intention to think about its meaning. 】

[Because you feel that Onigashima will soon fall apart. 】

【for you. 】

[Also for Chou Yuqian’s wish. 】

[You must leave here as soon as possible. 】

133. The Holy Grail of the Heian Era ([-] words chapter)

[Onigashima is about to fall apart. 】

[You returned to Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji as quickly as possible. 】

[You have to take them away from this place. 】

"You're back?!"

Shuten Doji only had Ian who was back in front of him in his eyes.

She breathed a sigh of relief.

To be honest, during the time he left, she had previewed all the bad endings in her mind.

It’s like it’s gone forever and never comes back;

Or maybe he was killed on the spot by the being called Ugozen;

It's even possible to just leave yourself and Ibaraki here - it's a ghost island anyway, isn't it natural for ghosts to stay?

However, none of these bad outcomes occurred.

Just like what he promised, Ian returned to the ghost that was supposed to be the most hated ghost of the Great Onmyoji.

"Hmm." He nodded.

"I am back."

"Now -"

Just as Ian was about to speak, he saw Ibaraki Doji's confused eyes.

He recalled the resentment of a certain ghost king in the country who wanted to save face, so he changed his words:

"Master, I think it's time for us to leave this ghost island."

"Eh?!"

Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji were once again surprised at the same time.

However, the former soon realized that he could no longer do this, otherwise it would definitely arouse Ibaraki Doji's suspicion.

"He won't lie to himself."

With this idea in mind, Shuten Doji quickly agreed to Ian's "request."

"Row!"

"Let's go!"

[You take Shuten-douji and Ibaraki-douji and evacuate along the way you came. 】

[Because the entire Onigashima is arranged according to the layout of Heian Kyo, this process is not difficult. 】

[You and them board the ship. 】

[The moment the ship left the shore, you saw Ugo Mae. 】

[She just stood on the shore and watched you leave. 】

[The clear waves are floating, and the sea waves are rising. 】

[After the ship leaves the shore for some distance. 】

[Onigashima disappeared. 】

The dark clouds gradually faded away.

The light from the sky tilts on the sea, forming a stage-like white scene.

And that—

There should have been an island.

"Disappeared..."

Ibaraki Doji looked at the empty sea and didn't know what to say for a moment.

After all, not long ago, she was running away with her bare feet on it.

Shuten-douji's reaction was very similar to Ibaraki-douji's.

She looked at the empty sea and couldn't help rubbing her eyes.

She couldn't believe what she saw in her eyes.

"Uncle, what did you do?!"

Ian glanced at Ibaraki Doji and found that she was still staring at the sea, then he said:

"Shutun, this is what happened."

[You repeated what Ugozen told you to Shuten Doji. 】

[You also showed her the golden cup that Chou Yuqian asked you to take away. 】

[You hope she might know something. 】

[But the result does not seem to be the case. 】

"This……"
