Chapter 1218: Dragon Soul Eighteen Guards
"I understand, Master, I will take my leave now,"
After speaking, Oda Kuranosuke slowly left the courtyard; however, his verbal compliance could not mask the resentment on his face, clearly bothered by the fact that not one of the three visitors from Xia Country to Dongying was detained.
In the courtyard, Abe no Seimei watched all this and shook his head with some disappointment. Resentful?
What was there to be resentful about? Long Xuan was hard to kill, Su Chengyu he did not wish to kill, and Ye Qingci was truly impossible to eradicate.
Of course, if he gave up on taking down Yamata no Orochi first and directed his efforts on Ye Qingci instead, Abe no Seimei was over eighty percent sure he could eliminate Ye Qingci.
That was, as long as Ye Qingci didn’t abandon Su Chengyu to flee alone.
However, Abe no Seimei understood that this would be putting the cart before the horse.
To secure the home front before expelling foreign threats, the Yamata no Orochi, which had failed to transform into a dragon and was the biggest immediate danger to Dongying, was more pressing than Ye Qingci, who might pose a future threat.
This Demon God, trapped on Mount Fuji for a thousand years, what kind of mad and desperate act he would commit after losing his last hope to break the seal was known by no one.
The same logic applied now: whether it be Ye Qingci, Long Xuan, or the still-growing Su Chengyu, they all might become significant troubles for Dongying in the future.
But that was in the end something for the future. What Oda Kuranosuke needed to see the most right now was the domestic situation.
