Defeat six yokai in the village to clear the Enemy Base. One will be out in the open, another on a nearby roof, a third a little further ahead, and two more on the lower level of the village.

The sixth yokai will spawn in the center of the village after all the other yokai are defeated. Once the last yokai is dealt with, the Dark Realm will be cleared.
