Despite the ominous fate, Yuzuru Nagayama still felt greedy.

The talent bonus of the magic-breaking power is really mouth-watering. The general A-level talent will only increase by 5%, and the S-level talent by 10%. Unexpectedly, the magic-breaking power increases the entire shrine by 15%, and it is the best attribute of spiritual power, which proves that the magic-breaking power is also top-level among S-level talents.

Since we can meet today, it shows that this witch and I are destined to be together.

Mochizuki Kikyo was about to speak when she suddenly found that Nagayama Yuzuru was looking at her with strange eyes. She couldn't help but frown. The other person's expression was too strange, with greed, fear, and pity.

What is the other party greedy for, what is he afraid of, and what is the pity in the end? Is there any reason for people to pity her, Mochizuki Kikyo?

Mochizuki Kikyo ignored the strange man for the moment and began to deliver the speech she had prepared long ago.

"Everyone, I believe you have also noticed that the demons and monsters that appear in the world now have a tendency to get out of control. In just three months, 3 people have died in the country, which is 5 times the number in previous years. The existence of demons and monsters is no longer a secret to the public, and the government no longer needs to hide it. So we need to change in order to cope with more drastic changes."

The crowd below the stage immediately began to talk about it. These powerful forces that dominated one side had a deeper understanding of this. Ever since the boundary wall was weakened, it was easy for evil spirits from the inner world to enter the human world, making it impossible to prevent them from the root.

And it would be fine if they were just ordinary ghosts and monsters, but some beings from outside the world are the most troublesome. They are mysterious and crazy, and they cause terrible consequences like infectious diseases.

The two most serious cases, which caused many forces to worry, were the seventh-level invasion cases in Kyushu and Kansai.

A monster who claimed to be the messenger of the immortal god directly destroyed a quasi-first-class family and then disappeared. In another case, a common monster caused the pillar of a first-class family to be seriously injured before killing the monster. Now they dare not even send people to attend the parliament, and all of them hide in the clan land and do not go out.

That being said, change requires change, and change will bring many unknown consequences. People who stay in their comfort zone for a long time really don’t want to change.

The new abbot of the top-level Sensō-ji Temple speaks for the first time.

"I don't know what kind of changes the Speaker wants, but as long as it is beneficial to the common people, we at Sensō-ji will agree to it."

In Yuzuru Nagayama's eyes, it seemed that the two sides had already communicated with each other, and many parliamentarians expressed their approval on the spot. It seemed that Mochizuki Kikyo was well prepared.

Mochizuki Kikyo turned on the screen on the stage and began to talk about the plan discussed by the Hundred Sages Association.

"Demon Hunting Association"

As the other party spoke, Yuzuru Nagayama and many other forces became more and more surprised. This was a plan that would shake the status of traditional family forces.

The Demon Hunting Association is very similar to the Adventurer's Guild in the game. It only arranges the issuance of demon hunting commissions and the recycling of materials. It will never interfere in local political affairs, nor will it command association members. Members are free to come and go.

As long as members complete the commission, they can get money, training materials, and even magic skills. They will also cooperate with the media to do publicity, sell advertisements, and even participate in star-making activities, so that they can be responsible for their own profits and losses.

If we say that type of people is the most numerous in the cultivation world, they are definitely the individual level. They have no power, no one to teach them, no room for advancement, and they keep lingering in the first two levels. They don’t even know how to break through to the third level, so they have always been looked down upon by the big forces.

They have no way to attract customers for demon-hunting, and they don't want to or are not qualified to join the Countermeasures Bureau for their livelihood, so this group of practitioners, the largest base, is of little use after the catastrophe.

If we tell them that as long as they fight for their lives, they can get resources that are no worse than those of ordinary forces, and that the road ahead will never be lost, one can imagine how much motivation this will give to these people who have no way forward. It may not be obvious in the early stages, but as time goes by, it will definitely grow into a force that shakes the old forces.

Many of the old forces present looked unhappy, thinking that this plan would affect their interests and even lead to a reshuffle in the future. There would definitely be thousand-year-old forces like the Hojo family, who would be wiped out by the emerging strong ones.

The more I watch Yuzuru Nagayama, the more I like him. It's completely in line with the ordinary civilian class, and the demon hunting hero star-making activity is such an entertaining plan.

Soon it was time for the formal members to give speeches and express their opinions. After all the first-class forces and above had expressed their opinions, it was time for voting, which would take effect only if more than 6% of the votes were cast.

The first person to go on stage was Shangren. Actually, these activities were previously handled by his son Heren, so he performed so poorly.

Shangren looked around and said loudly.

"Everyone, if ordinary civilians are allowed to come into contact with the extraordinary, and if those stray people who are like wild dogs are allowed to gain power, it will definitely cause terrible social unrest. They are not like us who abide by the law. They will burn, kill, rob, and use their power to shake the foundation of the country. So I don't want this sick plan to pass. It's too crazy."

Although Shang Ren's words were unpleasant to hear, they also attracted the support of many forces, especially the traditional bloodline families.

Chapter 268 Confidante

Next, the first-rate forces from all parties took the stage to give speeches, with each person having a maximum of 5 minutes, for a total of 45 parties. Some forces refused to take the stage, or only spoke a few words. Most of them were the middle-of-the-roaders.

On the contrary, the forces determined by their positions spoke for a full five minutes, and the words were so passionate that opponents even pointed out that someone was destroying the foundation of the country. How could a system that has existed for hundreds of years be changed so easily? The aristocratic families have co-governed the country for thousands of years.

Secret voice transmission or mobile phone communications continued in the audience, asking for the opinions of the pillars of the family.

Yuzuru Nagayama was really surprised when he looked at the woman sitting on the stage. He didn't expect to encounter such an important historical event in his first participation in the Hundred Sages' Meeting. And Mochizuki Kikyo was obviously well prepared. The top forces with different opinions were evenly divided, with four in favor and four against, so the situation did not become one-sided.

However, judging by the number of people who have come to the stage to express their opinions, the chances of it being passed are very small, and the number of people in favor of the first-tier forces will not reach 60%.

Yuzuru Nagayama thought about it for more than ten minutes and discussed it with his allies. In the end, he decided to contact Kikyo Mochizuki through secret voice transmission. With such an interesting development, how could he not intervene? The little finger in a certain film and television drama was right, chaos is the ladder to rise.

"Ms. Kikyo, do you want to make a deal?"

Kikyo, who had been resting with her eyes closed, slowly opened her eyes, glanced at the person who had sent the message and answered.

"What deal do you want to make with me?"

"I can vote for you at least 9 times, and I can even guide public opinion, but you have to promise me something."

Mochizuki Kikyo's eyes suddenly flickered. This man was able to cast 9 votes in favor. Apart from himself and the Toyotomi family, could there be other allies?

The vote of a provisional member counts as only one vote, the vote of a full member counts as three votes, and the vote of a standing member counts as nine votes, for a total of 3 votes.

Mochizuki Kikyo's tone became a little more serious.

"How do you want to cooperate?"

"I want you to use your last days as speaker to help me establish a key tie between Longteng TV and the Demon Hunting Association, such as exclusive broadcasting rights, live broadcast rights, and access rights."

"."

Mochizuki Kikyo felt that this man was really dreaming. As a person who promoted the Demon Hunting Association, she certainly knew the importance of the media in the future. The other party wanted to use 9 votes to get the fat piece of meat. Even if she was willing to agree, her temporary ally would not agree, so she asked the other party to take a step back.

"You want too much."

Yuzuru Nagayama smiled slightly and thought that the bargaining was reasonable.

"We can continue talking, but I guess you don't have much time."

Mochizuki Kikyo confirmed that the other party only mentioned it near the end, with the purpose of putting pressure on her to stop procrastinating. It was obvious that Nagayama Yuzuru succeeded.

"Except for the fact that there is no exclusive, I can promise you the other things."

"make a deal."

Soon, the speeches of all parties were over, and finally it was the turn of the new member, Yuzuru Nagayama. He could have just finished speaking a few words, but Yuzuru Nagayama didn't think so, and instead decided to help the topic to increase its intensity.

This is something I discussed with Hoshino Saeko. Not long ago, Hoshino Saeko was shocked when she heard the information about Yuzuru Nagayama. It was too crazy and too bold, but she was finally willing to help revise the manuscript.

Yuzuru Nagayama looked around at the people below the stage and shocked everyone with his first sentence.

"Everyone, I heard that the gods in the inner world have some disagreements. One group of gods thinks that it is best to let the present world be swallowed by the inner world, because they don't want to waste their energy in the present world, and the inner world is the real future. The other group of gods thinks that the present world cannot be abandoned, it is their root. But now that the boundary wall has been cut, do you still have a choice? If you don't change, you will be swallowed by the inner world. Think about your strength. Do you really think you can stay safe in the inner world?"

"."

Everyone looked at the person on the stage with eager eyes, some of them gradually looked shocked. Even for a thousand-year-old fox, this news was too shocking.

They didn't know whether the news was true or not, but the gods' abandonment of the present world caused panic among some people. If the present world was to be gone, was it still necessary to maintain the interests of the aristocratic families?

As for the present world being annexed by the inner world, it is frightening to think about it. The information of the inner world is not a secret. In their eyes, it is just a new world full of demons and even some indescribable monsters.

You can live a comfortable life if you have the ability, but it is not a good idea to support your family.

Only a few people at the scene managed to keep their composure, such as the old patriarch of the Hanakaiin Onmyoji family. He had also heard some rumors about the gods' disagreement, but he was not sure.

As a royal family descended from Amaterasu, Shangren was shocked, but an old man beside him showed a meaningful expression. This young man was really bold, actually saying such a big thing, could he have heard it from the so-called Dragon King?

Mochizuki Kikyo, who was on the stage at the same time, finally showed surprise. Not only was she surprised by the news, she was also shocked by the man's behavior of watching the fun and making trouble. He directly added fuel to the fire at the hot scene. Wasn't he afraid that things would get out of control?

For example, some forces may surrender to foreign entities. There are too many unpredictable possibilities.

Seeing everyone's expressions change interestingly, Yuzuru Nagayama didn't intend to say more.

"Everyone, I just feel that if we continue to maintain the status quo, the world will be over sooner or later. This year, the boundary wall was cut, and next year, a similar major event will happen. Can you stop it? Think about the Buddha Mother incident that happened next to the royal territory, and I, a newcomer, need to deal with it. It's really terrifying to think about it. Thank you, everyone. I'm done."

After Yuzuru Nagayama left the stage, the crowd below the stage started talking as if they were in a vegetable market. Some people had originally insisted on rejecting the Demon Hunter Association's plan, but were shaken to their core by a piece of news whose authenticity was unknown. Should they change or not? If they didn't change, would they really be waiting to die?

Soon it was time for voting, and all the councillors made their choices at the same time. The results confirmed how great an impact Yuzuru Nagayama's words had.

156 votes in favor, 91 votes against, and 18 abstentions.

The resolution was passed and the Demon Hunting Association was officially established. Three days later, all members of the first-class forces formed an association committee. In the next half month, branches of the Demon Hunting Association were built across the country, and the existence of the association was publicized. The official would also provide unconditional support.

Faced with the overwhelming fact of success, Mochizuki Kikyo couldn't help but smile, as beautiful as a blooming snow lotus. At the same time, she sent a message to the great hero of this event. Although it was messy, it was indeed very effective.

"I'll send someone to talk to you about cooperation tomorrow."

"it is good."

Next, when it came to the topic of resource development in the inner world, Yuzuru Nagayama just watched without saying anything the whole time, silently listening to how some forces obtained extraordinary minerals, those forces obtained some treasures, and even went to war with the demon tribe in the inner world.

Anyway, the Dragon King's power has not yet developed to its full potential in the real world, so he will not participate in the affairs of the inner world. He will not go even if someone invites him. Instead, he hopes that more people will rush to the inner world, so that he can take advantage of the power vacuum in the real world.

As for the future candidate for the Dragon King Shrine stationed in the Hundred Sages Association, he already has a suitable choice.

Kyoka Tachibana was originally a senior member of the Countermeasures Bureau and had already proven her ability to handle affairs. She was definitely several levels higher than deputy ministers like Saeko Hoshino.

In addition, as for the seal in her body, Yuzuru Nagayama has almost understood it and is 9% sure of breaking it.

The entire Hundred Sages Meeting took most of the day and finally ended. Originally, Yuzuru Nagayama wanted to build a relationship with Kikyo Mochizuki, but the other party just left without giving him any chance.

Seeing this, Yuzuru Nagayama had no choice but to have dinner with Hideta Toyotomi and Juichi Sakai, and discuss the cooperation matters from Tokyo Bay to Suruga Bay. As long as the three parties cooperated, it would not be difficult to monopolize the shipping between the two places.

The restaurant they decided to go to was the one that the Takeuchi sisters opened together at Ryukun Shrine, and Hoshino Saeko was also brought along.

The restaurant is located in the food street at the foot of Longshan Mountain. Although it is not big and the prices are expensive, it is still packed with customers. The three-star chef is enough to make people linger.

On the third floor of the VIP restaurant, two seventh-level warriors were quite curious about why Yuzuru Nagayama brought a Countermeasures Bureau garrison commander with him. When asked, someone just held Hoshino Saeko's hand and spoke lightly.

"She's the woman I like."

Like it?

The two old foxes instantly understood the meaning of his words, which was that Hoshino Saeko might not like him.

The person involved, Hoshino Saeko, was shy at first, but then she admitted it generously.

"Hello, two seniors. I am Yuzuru's good friend."

Yuzuru Nagayama added.

"soulmate."

Hoshino Saeko rolled her eyes at the man holding her hand, and finally admitted it.

"That's it."

Toyotomi Hideta shook his head. He really couldn't understand the young people's thoughts. What confidante? If it was his confidante, he would have married her home and taken care of her long ago. Why would he still be hesitating and testing each other here?

Yuzuru Nagayama also wanted to, but the reason that there were too many women was a hurdle that Hoshino Saeko could not overcome.

The three of them chatted while tasting the extraordinary cuisine that was famous in the Ryukun Shrine. It was really unheard of that there were more than ten special restaurants in the shrine food court.

Toyotomi Hideta was shocked when he looked around Longshan. What a blessed place it was. The spiritual energy was so rich that he had never seen it before. Even the secret realm of the royal family could not compare to it.

"Yuzuru-kun, your Longshan is truly a place of outstanding people and beautiful scenery. I want to live here forever."

Yuzuru Nagayama smiled and said.

"You can stay here. If you're interested, Sakai-senpai can stay longer."

Of course the two allies refused. Living in someone else's territory for a long time is always an irrational decision.

In the evening, after having a good meal and a few drinks, the group finally dispersed. Hoshino Saeko chatted with Takeuchi Airi's best friend, and Nagayama Yuzuru decided not to get involved and planned to go to the Tachibana family's old house.

Today is Kyoka Tachibana's rest day, so she went back to accompany her two daughters.

An ordinary vehicle slowly drove into the old house of the Tachibana family. As expected of a family that was once a top-notch force, it was a truly ancient building. Of course, it now belonged to Yuzuru Nagayama and was only temporarily loaned to the mother and daughter of the Tachibana family.

Chapter 269 Knocking on the Door of the Orange Family at Night

Yuzuru Nagayama's visit did not alarm anyone, not even the people who were monitoring the Tachibana family. At this time, the three residents in the villa were sitting on the sofa and chatting about their daily lives.

Kyoka Tachibana's eldest daughter is named Yuka Tachibana. She is a beautiful woman with long black hair and a distinct queen temperament. She shows off her outstanding assets in short-sleeved hot pants.

The second daughter is named Tachibana Koharu, an elegant orange-haired beauty, wearing a dress that exudes quiet beauty. Both of them have inherited their mother's excellent bloodline, have very proud figures, and have a pair of pomeloes that are not much different from their mother's.

Tachibana Koharu asked, snuggling in her mother's arms.

"Mother, are you having a good time at the Dragon King Shrine? Are there people bullying you?"

"No, the people in the shrine are all good people and they take good care of me."

Tachibana Kyoka caressed her daughter's forehead with maternal love. She was right. Although she didn't have the last step with that man, she was often toyed with by him on a daily basis, so it was natural that she became a rare great priestess of the gods.

Normally, she doesn't need to do chores like sweeping the floor. She only needs to help Saiou with shrine affairs and work part-time as Yuzuru Nagayama's secretary. Every time, the room is filled with the scent of spring.

Although she seemed to be favored, she had lost all her spiritual power and was the chief priestess, which would more or less attract gossip from others. Some people said that she got the position by relying on her body, but in fact she had no ability at all.
