Initial draft. The news that the Kurayama Ghost King "Red Demon" had been slain spread out.
Half a day later, Su Lun found various fairies and goblins gathering at the foot of the desolate mountain where the shrine was located. Some came to inspect the situation, some were onlookers, and others were drawn by the scent.
Qian Jiao was still staring blankly at the golden statue of the Konjin Thunder God, while the Princess was busy comprehending the Shinto legacy on the stone tablet. Neither of the women seemed to have any intention of leaving the underground palace soon.
This was an opportunity not to be missed, and Su Lun would not let the ghosts and monsters disturb them.
Just like how he had merged with his armor a few days earlier, it was now Su Lun's turn to cover for the two of them.
He went down the mountain and repelled several waves of goblins.
If he encountered troublesome monsters, he would lead them away in circles.
