Section 311

"That's right. They are powerful pillars. Even in our Demon Slayer Corps, they are the strongest nine swordsmen. How could there be a human being who could easily defeat those adults? Impossible, impossible, absolutely impossible."

"......."

"Is it...really?"

The swordsman called Yamada nodded.

The two people's expressions suddenly froze.

"Who is that guy...?"

"I don't know. I just heard that he came with Lady Shinobu Kocho. It seems that he is a guest invited by the lord himself."

…………

When the news spread in the Demon Slayer Corps.

In the quiet and elegant mansion of Ubuyashiki.

Ubuyashiki Yoya, wearing a white kimono, was sitting on a mat on the wooden floor.

About five meters in front of Ubuyashiki Yoya, Ron, holding a silver wine gourd, sat casually on the mat.

Rock Pillar - Gyoumei Sadomasuma, Wind Pillar - Fushigawa Sane, Love Pillar - Kanroji Mitsuri, Sound Pillar - Uzui Tengen, Snake Pillar - Iguro Obanai, Mist Pillar - Tokito Muichiro, Flame Pillar - Rengoku Kyojuro, Insect Pillar - Kocho Shinobu, the eight 'pillars' except Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu were sitting side by side on the right side of Ubuyashiki Kōya.

Rock Pillar - Gyoumei Sadomasuma was close to Ubuyashiki Kōya, while Kocho Shinobu was close to Roan.

Ubuyashiki Yoya, whose upper face was covered with scars, said gently to the front: "Mr. Ron, I wanted to meet you after hearing Shinobu mention you in the letter. I am really happy to hear that you want to visit the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters."

"By the way, I have to thank you for saving Yanagida, Shuichi and Aito in that small town. Facing a suddenly advanced supernatural demon, if you, Mr. Ron, had not taken action, the three of them would not have been able to come back alive."

"I also have my own purpose for that matter, not to save them unconditionally."

Ron said lazily.

Ubuyashiki Yoya smiled and said: "Life is a very precious thing. No matter what purpose you saved them from the hands of the demon, Mr. Ron, I think it is worth thanking and being grateful."

Ron glanced at him, took a sip of wine, and said nothing more.

Ubuyashiki Yoya continued, "Mr. Ron, I heard that you found traces of Muzan Kibutsuji in Asakusa, Tokyo Prefecture, and were attacked by the demons he sent? Can you tell us the details?"

Shocking words.

The Rock Pillar and others immediately cast their eyes on Ron.

"Have you seen Muzan Kibutsuji?!"

"Have you found its lair? Did you fight?"

Fuzuigawa Minami and Iguro Obanai asked hurriedly.

Compared to the news of Muzan Kibutsuji, the previous conflict is nothing.

Under the gaze of everyone, Ron took a sip of wine and said casually, "I didn't meet Muzan Kibutsuji, nor did I fight him, but a young man named Kamado Tanjiro from your Demon Slayer Corps did find its traces and even met it."

"Kamado Tanjiro?"

The Wind Pillar, Snake Pillar and other pillars were stunned when they heard this.

Shinobu Kocho said, "He is one of the five swordsmen who just passed the selection of the Demon Slayer Corps this year."

"A swordsman who just passed the selection? Such a guy actually found the trace of Muzan Kibutsuji who even our pillars couldn't find?"

Several people were greatly shocked.

Uzui Tengen couldn't help but say, "He met Muzan Kibutsuji... He actually survived? Is that guy very strong?"

"They didn't fight."

Shinobu Kocho said, "Muzan Kibutsuji turned into a human and mingled with humans. Probably to hide his whereabouts, so he didn't attack him."

Rengoku Kyojuro was excited: "So... It's still in Asakusa, Tokyo Prefecture?!"

Ubuyashiki Kayoya shook his head: "Probably not anymore. With that guy's extremely cautious character, if he is exposed this time, he will definitely hide in another place."

Fuzuigawa Shima and others were immediately disappointed.

"Damn it! We finally found some traces... but it's going to slip away again!"

Fuzuikawa Shima slammed his fist on the floor, his eyes full of bloodshot.

"With the current strength of your Demon Slayer Corps, even if you find it, you may not be able to kill it."

Ron looked at the eight pillars and Ubuyashiki Yoya in front of him calmly and said, "Maybe... it and its subordinates, the Twelve Kizuki, will be wiped out."

21, Discussion

"What did you say..."

The impatient Fuzuikawa Shima was about to get angry when he heard this.

Ubuyashiki Yoya's voice sounded in his ears: "Shima, calm down."

Fuzuikawa Shima glanced at Ubuyashiki Yoya, and remembered the scene where Ubuyashiki Yoya bowed and apologized to Ron for him. He couldn't help but clench his fists, suppress the restlessness in his heart, and lowered his head.

Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at Ron: "Mr. Ron, do you know anything about Muzan Kibutsuji and the Twelve Kizuki? Can you tell us?"

The others all looked at Ron.

Ron drank his wine slowly: "You really want to find and kill Muzan Kibutsuji, right?"

"Of course!"

Rengoku Kyojuro said generously: "Even if it costs my life, I will do it!"

Ron glanced at him: "Are you willing to risk your life, or are you the whole Demon Slayer Corps?"

Iguro Obana said in a deep voice: "Of course it's all of us. The Demon Slayer Corps was established to kill Muzan Kibutsuji!"

Ron's eyes swept across the pillars. Even the Lianzhu Ganlu Temple Mitsuri looked as if he was taking it for granted at the moment, as if he had already realized what he was doing.

Ubuyashiki Yōya spoke softly: "Life is extremely precious to everyone. If possible, I hope that all members of the Demon Slayer Squad can survive, but... Muzan Demon Slayer is obviously not that simple. Enemies that can be eliminated, if all members of the Demon Slayer Corps do not have the consciousness to die, there is no telling how many innocent people will be killed by Demon Slayer Mukai in the future..."

"My lord is exactly what you said!"

Purgatory Anjuro said with a confident and hearty smile on his face: "If you want to fight ghosts, you must have the consciousness to die! Compared with the thousands of innocent lives that may die at the hands of Demon Dance Tsuji Mukai in the future, Our lives mean nothing!”

Ron nodded: "Really... Since you are all prepared to die, then I will teach you how to kill Muzan Kibutsuji."

Everyone's expressions were lifted.

Everyone, even Immortal Kawa Saneya, stared at Ron intently.

"To lure out Tsuji Muzan, you must first know what it desires and fears."

Ron's words stunned everyone.

"What does Kibutsuji Muzai desire and fear?"

Kanroji Mitsuri tilted her head, her cute round face full of confusion.

"As the Ghost King, is there really anything that Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan is afraid of?"

"Of course." Ron smiled: "Otherwise, why do you think Demon Dance Tsuji Mumei has been hiding in the dark for hundreds of years and did not dare to show up in front of the Demon Slayer Squad?"

The Butterfly Ninja seemed to have thought of something: "Is it... because of that swordsman?"

"Swordsman?"

All the pillars looked confused.

The Butterfly Ninja explained: "It seems that four hundred years ago, a swordsman named Tsukikuni Enichi who created the breathing method once single-handedly forced Oniiwu Tsuji Muzan to a desperate situation. I am afraid it was that encounter that made Oniiwu Tsuji Mukai has a fear of death.”

Everyone looked shocked when they heard this.

Immortal Kawakawa Saneya's eyes widened slightly: "Created the breathing method, and single-handedly forced Muzan Kibutsuji into a desperate situation... This..."

It was hard for him to imagine what kind of talent and strength it would take to achieve this step.

Purgatory Xingjulang looked thoughtful: "I seem to have heard of this somewhere..."

Iguro Kobanai looked at Ron: "In that case, what Kibutsuji Muzan fears is death, so what does he long for?"

Ron smiled and said: "It is now a creature that is infinitely striving for perfection. There is still a possibility of death. It is not perfect. Of course, what it aspires to pursue is to become a perfect creature that is immortal and no longer afraid of the sun."

"For this reason, it has spent hundreds of years looking for one thing, a medicinal guide named Blue Flower of the Other Side."

"Blue Flower of the Other Side..."

Butterfly Nin muttered to himself.

She was well versed in poisons and medicines and had never heard of this medicine.

"What will happen if he finds me?"

Immortal Kawa Saneya couldn't help but ask.

"It will complete its final evolution, no longer be afraid of the sun, and become a truly perfect creature."

Everyone was shocked when they heard Ron's words.

Unexpectedly, Kibutsuji Mumei has been pursuing evolution for so many years. If he really succeeds...then everything will be over.

"Kibutsuji Muzan hasn't appeared in front of us until now, which means it hasn't been found yet, and we still have time."

Ubuyashiki Yoya said softly, and his voice made several people calm down slightly.
