The watchtower was the tallest point in the entire Ina Sea fishern's village, where Xu Yi and Yukeni stood at the summit, holding a telescope and gazing toward the reefy shores.
It was too far from the sea, even Xu Yi needed the aid of a telescope to clearly see the scene at the seaside.
"Here they co!" Yukeni suddenly spoke.
Xu Yi quickly focused and finally saw the person Yukeni had been waiting for.
A group of uniford individuals appeared by the seaside, their uniforms emblazoned with the words "Tokyo Marine Protection Organization."
"This thod of deception is really quite clever!" Xu Yi soon discerned sothing amiss; those people seed to be setting up exploration equipnt but were actually constructing so sort of Array.
Xu Yi's brow furrowed slightly; he thought he recognized soone but wasn't a hundred percent sure.
That person looked very similar to the God Cheater Fick who had planned the Evil God of the Ram incident, except that both of his hands were intact and his face was gaunter.
"Hadn't the Onmyoji of Japan already divined that there was a great disaster going to happen? Why did it still end up like this?" Xu Yi suddenly recalled sothing.
Previously, when the Ghost Samurai had operated in Japan, Xu Yi hadn't sensed any aura of curses and grudges, but now, in such a short ti, the entire country had beco a land of cursed retributions.
Yukeni looked at Xu Yi with surprise; she didn't expect that Xu Yi would even know about this.
"The speed of the curse's spread can only be described as terrifying. In just three short days, it enveloped the entire country. By the ti those Onmyoji discovered it, it was too late to stop."
Yukeni looked down, "The reason it spread so fast is that the organization behind these people was stirring the pot."
Yukeni's brows gradually furrowed, "That organization is extrely enigmatic, its na still untraceable. We only know that their organizational totem is a door."
"Have you ever tried catching one of these door organization's people and applying so force?" asked Xu Yi.
"Severe interrogation is useless, the souls of those people are cursed to seal their lips; as soon as they try to reveal information related to the organization, they would instantly perish," Yukeni shook her head.
As they chatted idly, the Array had been completed.
A woman, who seed to be the leader, entered the center of the Array while holding sothing shrouded in black cloth.
As the black cloth was lifted, inside was a plant resembling the Lotus Palm with dark purple petals. The petals were closed, like the pupil of a wild beast.
The woman cut her wrist and poured the blood onto the plant. Instantly, the petals opened, revealing not a bud at the center, but a small piece of black-golden debris, the size of a fingernail, with an uneven edge.
Xu Yi looked down in astonishnt. At the mont he saw that piece of black-golden debris, the Source of Woe sculpture at his waist began to tremble.
Such a great distance shouldn't have caused a reaction from the sculpture, which could only an one thing.
The quality of that black-golden debris must be very high and particularly suited as a Source of Woe.
Xu Yi was very tempted, but unfortunately, because of the distance, it was impossible to determine the actual level of the item.
The woman placed the plant in the center of the Array, which activated silently; there was no glow, no earth-shattering noise, but Xu Yi slled a rotten, dead rat putrid stench.
"We exorcists find this scent disgusting, but not everything else necessarily will," Yukeni comnted with a wrinkle of disgust on her forehead.
No sooner had she finished speaking than water ghosts, their bodies covered in seaweed, erged from the water.
As ti passed, ferocious fish-headed humanoid monsters, two-headed sea serpents... various odd-shaped dark creatures continued to appear.
Later, not just from the sea, the surrounding land monsters were also attracted.
Suddenly, the seabed surged, and an enormous creature began to rise from the sea, darkening Xu Yi's expression.
Within a radius of several kiloters, who else could have such presence except the Eight Monster House?
He was sowhat puzzled; was the attraction of that black-golden debris really that strong? The Onmyoji were already hard-pressed dealing with the Ghost Samurai, yet they still had the urge to go "hunting wild ga"?
Today, Xu Yi first encountered Yukeni, then ran into these door organization people. It all seed like a coincidence, but every coincidence must have an underlying inevitability.
The nearby dark creatures were definitely not sothing those from the door organization would concern themselves with. From the start, their target had been the Eight Monster House.
Yukeni took out a golden short staff from her waist which surprisingly had a telescopic structure. With a flick of her hand, the short staff extended into a long staff.
"Where are you planning on going?" Xu Yi instinctively asked aloud.
"According to my investigation, that ritual object is very important to the organization."
Yukeni's expression was icy, "Since that's the case, I'll just snatch it away. I refuse to believe the mastermind behind this can remain seated. Once they co to us, we'll capture them and force them to reveal the thod to resolve the curse and resentnt."
The plan could not be said to be rudintary; it was practically non-existent.
But Xu Yi didn't hesitate to follow her. If it didn't concern Eight Monster House, he might have been content playing the role of a bystander, but now he simply couldn't sit still.
A horde of Dark Creatures surged toward the heart of the Array where the remnants lay, their eyes revealing utter ravenousness, but faster than they were the Eight Monster House.
A dense mass of chains flew out from Eight Monster House, sweeping aside competitors along the way, heading for the black-golden remnants.
Just as the chains were about to touch the remnants, the competitors' eyes turned bloodshot in a flash, yanking at the chains like mad, trying to prevent them from reaching the mysterious remains.
Eight Monster House was enraged. It hadn't expected these ant-like creatures to dare obstruct it. The chains whipped wildly, smashing the obstacles in front to pieces.
Seeing this, Xu Yi subconsciously shook his head.
The one controlling Eight Monster House was Pestle. Previously, Xu Yi's evaluation of it was "pure foolishness," but now, it seed he had misjudged.
This wasn't foolishness; it was outright brainlessness.
Let alone whether Eight Monster House could recognize the "fishing law enforcent" trap, the other party's actions were tantamount to activating a "taunting aura."
The Dark Creatures present sward toward Eight Monster House. They clambered onto it like a horde of Ghouls, biting savagely with their sharp teeth, tearing with their claws.
Suddenly, Xu Yi's eyes lit up, and he wanted to loudly praise the Ghost Samurai for their excellent work.
Taking advantage of Eight Monster House's battle with the swarm of monsters, the Ghost Samurai accelerated the absorption of Divinity. If this continued, in just a week or two, they could completely subdue Pestle and gain control of Eight Monster House.
"Hand over the ritual object!" Yukeni suddenly burst out, clutching the golden scepter and charging forward.
Xu Yi wanted to facepalm. If it were up to him, he would definitely creep over stealthily, launching a sneak attack with a few shots first, trying to take down one or two.
This approach had nothing to do with strength; it was purely out of habit, sothing the rivers and lakes called "LYB syndro."
Yukeni swung her golden scepter, and Xu Yi had thought her to be an "exorcist" type, wielding various powerful Exorcism Techniques with ease.
But when Yukeni confronted the people from the organization, she resorted to sheer brute force.
The golden scepter swung with a ferocity that could shock anyone's eyeballs, with no one able to withstand its blow. Those hit by the scepter were either killed or wounded.
A transparent aura enveloped Yukeni's surface, silencing all the attacks that landed on her, rely causing ripples in the aura.
Yukeni reached the center of the ritual object, and the golden scepter smashed down hard. The strange plant was suffused with a rich purple light, and the unstoppable scepter was blocked.
A furious dragon roar suddenly erupted, and a gigantic dragon's phantom, burning with green flas, appeared above the scepter. Wielding the power of the Evil Dragon, Yukeni forcibly broke through the purple light.
She reached out to take the ritual object, but her peripheral vision caught a glimpse of a purple shadow, and she instinctively dodged.
Purple tentacles swept by from where she had been, their power imnse. The Dark Creatures affected were obliterated instantly.
The tentacles ca from the leading woman of the organization, with dense black fog billowing behind her, countless tentacles erging and dancing around her.

A peculiar pattern appeared on the woman's forehead, depicting a tightly shut brass door with strange creatures engraved on it, bird-headed humanoid figures with nurous pale hands growing from their backs.
"Take the Sin Remains!" the woman shouted angrily.
Yukeni swung the golden scepter again, not to block the tentacles, but to withstand the attack with her body.
The scepter struck the strange plant like hitting a baseball, sending the object, known as "Sin Remains," whistling towards Xu Yi.
Xu Yi reached out and caught the strange plant in his hand.
"Fantastic! Ho run!" Xu Yi gave Yukeni a thumbs up.
But his next action left Yukeni stunned, Xu Yi, holding the object, turned and ran.
