Owari just married Miss Ah Shi over, and then they immediately attempt an assassination?

This was definitely premeditated, calculating things like this, it really doesn't show any regard for feelings.

"Hmph! That kid totally deserves it!"

A carriage leisurely entered the city, and along the way, similar statements were heard. Inside the carriage, Saito Dosan chuckled coldly, almost wanting to clap his hands in approval.

"Lord Dao San... it really isn't like that."

The young driver, who was outside driving, couldn't help but smile wryly upon hearing this. They had hurried back from Kanazaki and were just returning to the area of Rice Leaf Mountain Castle, only to arrive at such a critical moment. Whether it was good or bad was uncertain.

"Alright, Ushiwakamaru, say no more. I know what you want to say..." Saito Dosan snorted, speaking irritably, "I don't care how things are, but when I entrusted Mino to him, it was to find a good home for Ah Xiu. Now this kid lets Ah Xiu suffer grievances, what does that say!"

As he spoke of this, he couldn't help but blow his beard and glare.

What audacity, really, what audacity, I always knew that kid had a repulsive face, not a good person!

"..."

Minamoto no Yoshiie remained silent, deciding not to say anything.

After all, this topic was too sensitive, and being an outsider, it was better not to meddle in it.

"This city... I hardly recognize it anymore, that guy really is reckless." Saito Dosan was also observing the city outside, speaking to himself in a tone that unconsciously became a bit unpleasant. He realized that even though he had left for less than half a year, Rice Leaf Mountain Castle had become strange to him.

Brand new, smooth cement roads, newly planned main channels, relocated markets, demolished and rebuilt areas...

Someone believed they had everything under control, taking things slow and steady, handling affairs in a very stable manner, but Saito Dosan felt it was just chaos, rushing for success, destroying the fruits of his life's labor. Over half of this old man's life was spent here, building such a bustling metropolis full of merchants.

Now, seeing his efforts seemingly about to be completely negated, he naturally felt displeased. Adding to this, his temper was already flared up, making him hold a grudge against that scoundrel of a son-in-law, naturally speaking in a poor tone.

"Make way, make way..."

"Escorting a major criminal, do not obstruct!"

Just at this moment, a noisy sound came from the street behind, a wave of commotion.

Minamoto no Yoshiie promptly steered the carriage to avoid them and then saw one prisoner cart after another entering the city, forming a long queue, while astonished murmurs came from both sides of the spectators, spreading out like tangible waves, as they were extremely shocked and appalled.

After all, not just the ordinary citizens were taken aback, even Saito Dosan, upon hearing the commotion, frowned, puzzled, lifting the curtain to look outside, and his face froze upon realization.

He stayed silent for quite some time, not saying a word.

"..."

"..."

After the long procession of prisoner carts had passed, a voice finally drifted faintly from within the carriage: "Was it really Owari trying to plot against that kid? Why do I feel... the situation is entirely the opposite?"

What kind of joke is this?

Just this evening, there was news that a delegation from Owari attempted to assassinate the Sovereign...

And not long after dusk fell, Owari's Oda family had already been wiped out, and were being sent back to Rice Leaf Mountain as prisoners...

In his lifetime, the old man had never seen such astonishing speed, and no matter how you look at it, it seems impossible, it looks like that kid had already planned to act against Owari in advance to achieve this kind of amazing result... Who's really scheming against whom, he suddenly doubted just how ruthless that kid is.

If there was any previous doubt about what Minamoto no Yoshiie had said, now he raised his level of belief from fifty to eighty percent.

Heartless and ruthless, able to achieve great things!

Just got married to someone's sister, turned around and took down the whole brother-in-law's family, could very well have been premeditated for a long time, even using the marriage alliance to calculate the move...

Saito Dosan and Oda Nobuhide had clashed for decades, neither getting the upper hand, and it wasn't until Oda Nobunaga's generation that relations eased. Yet, this kid took over Mino less than three months ago and directly captured Owari, unifying the Nagano region completely.

Truly destined to achieve great things...

......

...

Reality dimension.

Moon Surface City.

"Phew... finally back." The Demon Hunter Girl held her waist with both hands, exhaling forcefully, unable to endure the hazardous living conditions over there, having to adhere to avoiding the massive whirlpool humans couldn't tread. She found a chance to return through a door herself.

Hiri glanced around, back to her familiar clean and tidy room, feeling instantly at ease.

She had grown accustomed to living here, with the spacious area, the leisurely environment, the personalized space crafted from space age dwelling modules – it's unimaginably comfortable.

The constant temperature and humidity conditions, adjustable lighting and sound according to preference, with a gentle breeze flowing through the air cycle... these are just the basics.

Sitting on the white, soft bed, Hiri glanced at the opposite wall, where the ultra-high-definition display screen had automatically turned on, broadcasting a show from Earth. She couldn't help but marvel at how this comfort surpassed any she experienced while living in the palace.

Originally, she thought migrating to the desolate moon surface would be quite uncomfortable, but in a short time, she felt she was becoming spoiled by it...

Ding dong—

At this moment, the doorbell rang outside the room.

Was it Mr. Skillful, resembling a land-walking octopus, delivering food again? But she had just returned... Hiri instinctively thought so, but still stood up, walked over, and opened the door. 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚

Outside stood a familiar young man, giving off a fresh and ethereal aura, only wearing a light moon-white Daoist robe.

He exuded an immortal presence, seeming transcendent yet unreal.

"It's, it's you..." The Demon Hunter Girl's expression slightly changed, puzzled as to why this guy was here, and that he had followed her back immediately upon her return. Was he planning to settle accounts after the fact, unable to do so over there, now intending to address it once back?

"This... this, it was all Miss Tamamo no Mae who forced me to do it. She asked me to open the door, I had no choice..."

The Demon Hunter Girl stumbled awkwardly over her words, knowing how much trouble this incident had caused.

"..."

"..."

"No, I'm not here to pursue that matter." Gu Mo looked at her strangely; after realizing, he felt speechless but still calmly explained: "I came to ask for your help, to open a door for me."

"...Huh?"

The Demon Hunter Girl was a bit confounded.

"My Incarnation Walking Technique has made new breakthroughs, and it might be possible to cast a wide net on a large scale. Perhaps, at some point, I might come across the world you want to return to..." Gu Mo briefly explained, stating his purpose for coming.

Previously, his incarnation wasn't perfect, with many areas needing improvement.

The most troublesome issue was the direct division limit.

But now, he suddenly discovered he had seemingly acquired some new technology... concerning how to compress Consciousness Seeds and create Thought Backups, these abilities seemed quite feasible, capable of integrating and improving the Incarnation Technique.

So now, he directly came to find the navigator to cooperate in conducting the experiment.
