【……】

[You remain invisible, quietly climb over the window, and come into the dormitory.]

[On the bed, the two maids are still asleep...]

[You are possessed by the body of the ‘President of the Knowledge-Seeking Direct Gaze Association’! 】

After the ninja master left, Lin Xun rushed back to Yixie Palace at full speed.

He didn't know if the ninja master had arrived in Miyagi, nor where he would lurk after arriving.

However, it is not difficult to participate in the killing of the deputy palace master of Yixie Palace.

[You come to the bed and pat the two sleeping maids, trying to wake them up.]

[Perhaps they were too tired from the previous fierce battle. The two waitresses mumbled a few words unconsciously, then turned over and continued to sleep soundly. 】

[You shook your head, went straight to the door of the dormitory, and opened the door...]

[The onmyoji on duty outside the door was immediately alert and respectfully asked the foreign mage if he needed anything.]

[You claimed that you suddenly woke up late at night and had an inspiration about a spell that you urgently need to discuss with the deputy palace master.]

[The Onmyoji responded without hesitation, the deputy palace master had already gone to bed at this time, so the mage might as well discuss it with the deputy palace master tomorrow morning...]

[Halfway through the words, you became furious and reprimanded loudly. The inspiration for the spell is fleeting. How can you just wait and wait! 】

[When you have no more inspiration tomorrow morning, you will report the truth to the Deputy Palace Master.]

[Because of the excuses of the two watchdogs, the important matter of the exchange of spells was delayed, causing Yixie Palace to miss a powerful spell! 】

[This is not only the loss of Yixie Palace, but also the loss of the entire Sakura Fall... Can the two of them afford it?!]

[Not only did the two Onmyoji not get angry because of your reprimand, but they looked humble and bowed to you repeatedly to apologize. 】

[The two looked at each other, and an Onmyoji hurriedly trotted away, claiming to report to the Deputy Palace Master immediately, asking the Master to wait a moment...]

【……】

[Not long after, the Onmyoji will return and respectfully report to you, please ask the foreign mage to move to the main palace. 】

[The two Onmyojis are leading the way, beckoning you to follow them to the main palace...]

Lin Xun curled his lips and chose to stay where he was.

[You stood still with a gloomy look on your face. When the two Onmyojis saw that you didn’t move, they knew you were going to suffer when they saw your expression.]

[The two hurriedly knelt down, kowtowed repeatedly, claiming that they were confused just now, and asked the mage to ignore the past grudges...]

[But you smiled coldly, walked back to the dormitory, and said: Ask the deputy palace master to come here to see you.]

[You closed the door to your dormitory and ignored the people outside the door.]

Of course Lin Xun didn't mean to embarrass the two little onmyojis.

His purpose is to create conditions for the assassination of 'Ninja Master'.

The main palace where the deputy palace master lives is guarded by the "Absolute Barrier that Guards the Ten Directions". Under the protection of the top barrier, even a ninja master will probably have to spend a lot of effort to break it.

He still remembered that the ninja master was suffering from an old illness and had hidden wounds on his body. If he spent too much strength on the way to break the barrier, he was afraid that there would be many twists and turns in overthrowing the deputy palace master.

Now that he has lured the Deputy Palace Master into the bedroom, he has eliminated the Deputy Palace Master's most powerful means of protection.

He still didn't believe that an undefended crispy chicken summoner could resist the assassination of a top ninja master.

"With the help of friendly bosses, you must be a good teammate, and you can't hang up and hold yourself back..."

【……】

[Not long after, there was a knock on the door outside the dormitory, and the ‘Deputy Palace Master of Yixie Palace, who worships fire’, pushed the door in. 】

[It is neatly dressed and has delicate makeup on its old face. It is obvious that it has not gone to bed yet.]

[The deputy palace master is followed by a red weirdo who never leaves - the shikigami ‘Karasu Tengu’! 】

[‘Deputy Palace Master of Yixie Palace who worships fire’ has no unpleasant look on his face. 】

[It saw two women sleeping on the bed. The maid’s exposed limbs outside the quilt were covered with blue and red bruises. The deputy palace owner even joked: The foreign mage is so interested! 】

[You bring the deputy palace master to the table, point to the spell you wrote during the day, and explain to it the 'inspiration' you just thought of...]

[The deputy palace master listened extremely carefully and was very interested in your technique of turning knowledge into complex characters and then pouring it into other people's minds to cause attacks. 】

[It gradually became obsessed with listening, but the red ‘Kurotengu’ was still guarding the side...]

【……】

"Can you ask the deputy palace master to put away the Karasu Tengu..."

"No, the purpose of doing this is too obvious, it will probably alert the snake."

Lin Xun dragged the deputy palace master around and waited for a long time before the ninja master showed up.

"Is there something that delayed you?"

Even the chuunin body arrived at Ixie Palace early, and the ninja master could not be slower than the chuunin.

At this time, he still didn't show up. I don't know what accident happened.

[You have had an in-depth exchange with the deputy palace master for a long time, and you have already shared your inspiration.]

[The deputy palace master is very satisfied with the new technique you created, but now that the exchange is over, he has signaled you to take a rest early, and he is going back to the palace to go to bed...]

[Do you want to retain the ‘Deputy Palace Master of Ixie Palace who worships fire’? 】

At the moment, the 'Ninja Master' doesn't know what kind of plane he is working on. He has not arrived yet, and the planned two-person battle against the deputy palace master cannot be carried out.

Lin Xun could only click 'Yes' and continue to retain the deputy palace master to delay the process.

[You searched your guts and couldn’t think of any other ‘inspiration’. You want to retain the deputy palace master, but you don’t know what excuse to come up with. 】

[You look around the dormitory and see the two maids on the bed, your eyes light up.]

[You cleared your throat and hinted to the Deputy Palace Master that it was a long night and there was no intention of sleeping. It would be better for the Deputy Palace Master to stay here. The two of them would toast to the moon and talk about business ethics together. Wouldn’t it be beautiful? 】

[As soon as these words came out, the Deputy Palace Master, who was originally smiling, instantly fell down.]

[The atmosphere in the dormitory seems to be frozen, even the ‘Katsutengu’ next to the deputy palace master is staring at you with an unkind expression. 】

[Just when you think the Vice Palace Master is angry, he returns to his smiling appearance.]

[The deputy palace master touched his palms and admired that the foreign mage is really energetic, but it is a pity that he is too old and frail to serve him personally, so he will call two more maids over to help the foreign mage. 】

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [Through the gate of the dormitory, it ordered the two onmyojis outside the door to bring the two maids over...]

Lin Xun twitched the corner of his mouth.

The two waitresses almost looked at the president until he was completely drained of energy. Wouldn't the next two be squeezed to death?

If I can't kill the deputy palace master tonight, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave Yixie Palace at night in the future.

[The strange thing is that after the deputy palace master finished giving the instructions, he still did not hear the response from the two onmyojis outside the door. 】

[The anger that he had finally suppressed rose again, and the deputy palace master opened the door to the dormitory angrily, and was about to reprimand him loudly. 】

[Unexpectedly, I saw that the two onmyojis had fallen to the ground without knowing it, their eyes were blurred, and they had no breath at all. 】

[The deputy palace master was shocked and quickly wanted to send the ‘Kurotengu’ forward to protect...]

[At this moment, in the shadow of the eaves above the deputy palace master’s head, a short black shadow fell silently...]

[In an instant, the bright sword light shines throughout the dormitory! 】

[The sword light is as poignant and chilling as the withering cherry blossoms, and it is also like the last elegy in the dying person's life...]

[When the sword light goes out, a round old woman’s head rolls to your feet.]

[‘Deputy Palace Master of Yixie Palace who worships fire’ has died, and you have not gained experience points. 】

[You have obtained a ‘holy chunk of spirituality’*1]

[You have obtained the ‘complete forging crystal block’*1]

[You have obtained the ‘Boundary Formation: Guarding the Absolute Boundary in Ten Directions’ (legendary skill)]

[While striding forward, the ‘Karasu Tengu’ who wanted to protect the deputy palace master suddenly stopped and his body stiffened. 】

[Soon a jet-black karmic fire ignited from the soles of his feet, burning the motionless red figure into a handful of ashes...]

[You know, when the master Onmyoji dies, the shikigami will also die with him due to the constraints of the contract. 】

Lin Xun was dumbfounded.

He had long been mentally prepared that the Ninja Master would be extremely powerful, and the outcome of a squishy summoner meeting a top assassin would probably be disastrous.

But he didn't expect that the ninja master would kill the powerful deputy palace master with just one sword strike.

Lin Xun couldn't laugh or cry for a moment.

"Master, if you want to assassinate me, just assassinate me. Why behead me?"

Possessing a body requires ensuring a certain degree of integrity of the body. Those with broken arms and legs can still be possessed, but headless corpses definitely cannot be possessed...

[You look at the headless corpse that is still standing, but has been beheaded...]
To be continued...
