Chapter 88: Successful Treatment

When Fang Yi began to continue checking the harvest on the battlefield, the battle report written truthfully by Shinobu Kocho had arrived at the secret base where the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kōya, was located.

After experiencing the betrayal of the newly promoted 'Pillar', Liao Lin, and the betrayal of the Class A swordsman, Chen Cheng, yesterday, the security of the Demon Slayer Corps leader has been upgraded to a higher level.

Currently, the main security work is carried out by the strongest of the Demon Slayer Corps' "Pillars" - Rock Pillar, Gyoumei Sadomasaka.

After Shinobu Kocho submitted a brief report through Crow that she and Giyu Tomioka were ambushed by demons, Ubuyashiki Kōya immediately realized that there was a traitor in the organization through which he transmitted the information.

He informed Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho through his own intelligence agency, and the information must have been leaked from here, but he did not choose to alert the enemy and directly disbanded the agency.

Ubuyashiki Yoya decided to use these traitors to pass some false information to Oni. He quietly spent half a day to reorganize an intelligence agency from absolutely reliable swordsmen.

At the same time, the Love Pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji, who is depressed and unable to fight in the short term due to the death or disappearance of her companions, is temporarily assigned to the inland area to perform intelligence transmission work.

So when Shinobu Kocho's report arrived at the secret base, the new intelligence organization first conducted a detailed inspection of the text, content, and paper to ensure that there was no strange blood vampire surgery.

To be on the safe side, the intelligence personnel made another handwritten copy, and the original manuscript was kept on file as verification.

As a result, when copying, the intelligence officer could not continue writing halfway because the content of the report was too outrageous and explosive, which made the transcriber doubt the authenticity of the intelligence.

The personnel who were afraid of being demoted for passing on false information immediately asked their superiors for permission and the final report was sent to the Love Pillar, Mitsuri Kanroji, who had a good relationship with Shinobu Kocho.

I hope that this gentleman can further verify the authenticity of this information through his understanding of his friend Shinobu Kocho, and through his word usage habits and handwriting.

Seeing the intelligence officer's hands shaking and not daring to continue copying the report, Mitsuri Kanroji had no choice but to take the original report, glanced at it a few times, and her brain instantly froze.

Because she saw the incomprehensible mission description, "Just before dawn, be ambushed by Upper String Three. Assist a passing swordsman named Fang Yi and kill Upper String Three before dawn."

Mitsuri Kanroji's brain stopped thinking. She couldn't help but clench the manuscript paper tightly, staring at the words, trying to confirm whether she was seeing things.

[A man named Fang Yi who was passing by directly cooperated to kill Upper Rank Three, a demon who had not died in a hundred years? ]

After repeatedly confirming the content on the manuscript paper, she took out the previous manuscript paper and, based on her understanding of her friend Shinobu Kocho, thought about whether there were any obvious differences in her choice of words and punctuation from before, and repeatedly compared the handwriting.

After finally confirming that the information came from Shinobu Kocho, she began to think about the possibility that her friend was mentally ill.

Compared to the enthusiastic passers-by, she still felt that it was more likely that her friend was mentally ill after killing the Upper Three who had never been killed in a hundred years.

But I also saw in the report that it stated that Shinobu Kocho would return to her Butterfly House to treat some of the poisoned Demon Slayer Corps members, and there was also a piece of manuscript paper that gave a detailed description of the swordsman named Fang Yi.

Only then did Mitsuri Kanroji try hard to convince herself that this incident really happened, and nodded to let the intelligence personnel start copying the information.

Then, after seeing that Shinobu Kocho had devoted a whole page to detailing the swordsman's experience, she completely froze in place, like a statue.

She couldn't comprehend the possibility that [learning sword skills in ten minutes, cutting the lower string in ten minutes, and cutting the upper string in ten minutes] could happen in reality.

It was not until the person who copied the intelligence reminded her that the intelligence had been copied that she realized that she should deliver the intelligence to her lord personally.

Mitsuri Kanroji walked towards where Ubuyashiki Kōya was with an uneasy heart, ready to tell him the good news.
-
When talking about Ubuyashiki Kōya, we have to mention his relationship with Muzan Kibutsuji.

Strictly speaking, the Demon King - Muzan Kibutsuji is the ancestor of Kōya Ubuyashiki, and the two opposing forces are related by blood.

It is very ironic that this is because there was such a villain in the family who killed people on a large scale and created and transformed a large number of ghosts to commit a large number of crimes.

God thinks that if he can’t punish Muzan Kibutsuji, he can’t punish you, the Ubuyashiki family, which gave birth to this demon king?

As a result, the murderous Muzan Kibutsuji did not suffer retribution, but the family to which Ubuyashiki Yoya belonged was punished by heaven.

All the children born in the family are weak and sickly, most of them die young, and even if they survive, they do not live long.

Faced with this almost hereditary curse, the Ubuyashiki clan extended their lifespan to a level that was barely enough to continue their offspring by marrying women from the priest family, but their lifespan still did not exceed thirty years.

The same goes for Ubuyashiki Yoya. When he was fourteen years old, he was still a handsome man, but as time went by, the curse from his blood directly destroyed his appearance.

His frail body, which prevented him from swinging the sword ten times, gradually worsened to the point where he now had to stay in bed.

When Mitsuri Kanroji walked towards his residence with this information, the leader was suffering from illness. He was lying on the tatami, his body twitching slightly, and sweat on his forehead.

His wife and children around him kept changing towels and wiping his body to relieve his discomfort.

After hearing that it was Mitsuri Kanroji who had arrived, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps realized that he had obtained important information.

He began his inquiry with gentle and comforting words, "Is there more bad news? Are my swordsmen reduced again? Or have more Pillars died or disappeared?"

Although his tone made people feel relaxed, there was a subtle hint of sadness in his words.

Mitsuri Kanroji knew that her lord was telling her the bad news so that she wouldn't feel pressured.

The Flame Pillar, Rengoku Kyojuro, who had helped many people including himself before, had a good personality and believed that the strong should help the weak. His disappearance, which was basically equivalent to death, dealt a heavy blow to himself.

Yesterday, the Wind Pillar, Fushigi Fushigi, was seriously injured by a traitor. Although he was lucky enough to escape life-threatening danger, it is said that he may no longer be able to join the battle sequence. It depends on whether Shinobu Kocho can find a way to help him recover after he returns.

At the same time, most of the swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps' strongholds were attacked one after another, and several ordinary families who accepted the help of the Demon Slayer Corps and voluntarily hung the Fujika family crest and treated the injured Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen were also wiped out.

Water Pillar Tomioka Giyu and Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu were ambushed by demons on the way to support, and the news they can convey now is probably not good news.

She first warned the frail, pain-stricken leader against any emotional outbursts. "The battle report I'm about to read might provoke you. Please remain calm."

Ubuyashiki Yoya lay on the tatami, nodded slightly, and began to wonder which 'pillar' had died again.

When the leader heard the battle report that Giyu Tomioka and Shinobu Kocho were ambushed, he was obviously relieved, judging that it was probably not bad news.

Because the information conveyed by the crows indicated that the two "pillars" were apparently intact and had dealt with the enemy.

He thought, "The demons that ambushed them should be the lower upper-rank demons, or several lower-rank demons. So, did they kill the lower upper-rank demons? This is indeed good news during this period."

When he heard Mitsuri Kanroji say, "Ambushed by the Upper Moon Three," Ubuyashiki Kaguya's tightly closed eyes suddenly opened, and he began to realize that something was wrong.

[How did they come back alive after encountering the Upper Three? ]

Then I heard, "They assisted a passing swordsman named Fang Yi and killed the Upper Three before dawn."

Ubuyashiki Kōya's eyes were as big as copper bells. He felt that his pain was subsiding, and he asked Kanroji Mitsuri in a trembling voice.

"Repeat the previous sentence."

Kanroji Mitsuri faithfully completed this task. "They assisted a swordsman named Fang Yi who was passing by."

"What's next?" Ubuyashiki Yoya asked again.

"Kill the Upper Three before dawn."

Ubuyashiki Kazuya felt that his headache and body pain were not as severe anymore.

"Read this sentence again."

Mitsuri Kanroji thought that Ubuyashiki Kōya didn't hear clearly, so she raised her voice and repeated it again.

"Kill the Upper Three before dawn."

Ubuyashiki Yoya sat up and asked, "Is there any more information about this swordsman?"

Mitsuri Kanroji changed a piece of manuscript paper and gave the leader another shot of prevention.

"Please remain calm for the following information."

The leader's joy suddenly disappeared, and he began to think.

[This talented swordsman must have died while trying to slay this evil spirit. What a shame! I should erect a monument for such a righteous man.]

"After watching the sole survivor of the stronghold demonstrate the Water Breathing style sword technique for ten minutes, I rushed to Nada Spider Mountain to slay the Lower Moon Five."

Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded. Such a genius is indeed rare. It's a pity that he encountered a demon like Upper Three as soon as he debuted. It's such a pity.

"During the battle against Upper Three, Tomioka Giyu orally taught the [Water Breathing] style breathing method, and he learned it."

[Wait? You just killed the Lower Five without any breathing techniques?]

Ubuyashiki Yoya felt even more sorry for this swordsman. If he had been discovered earlier, he might have achieved greater success.

"I fought against the Upper Rank Three in close combat with my bare hands and held my own."

When Ubuyashiki Yoya heard this, doubts arose in his heart, and a guess suddenly came to his mind, but he didn't dare to think so, for fear that it would be a false alarm in the end.

[Wait, could it be that? That swordsman is still alive?]

"Swordsman Fang Yi commanded the Kocho Ninja to use poison to slow down the enemy's movements for less than a second, and Tomioka Giyuu swung his sword in a feint attack."

[Calm command, brilliant mind, and leadership style.]

"Swordsman Fang Yi beheaded Upper Rank Three with a single strike, and it is still dark."

"Read it again!"

Ubuyashiki Kazuya's voice, which was always gentle and friendly, was now trembling and distorted.

"Swordsman Fang Yi beheaded Upper Rank Three with a single strike, and it is still dark."

Mitsuri Kanroji breathed a sigh of relief after finishing reading the page written by Shinobu Kocho which specifically described Fang Yi's experience.

Ubuyashiki Yoya stood up directly and felt that the pain in his body had disappeared. Under the worried gaze of his family, he said these words.

"Please ask him to join our Demon Slayer Corps and write a letter immediately to express our sincere wishes!"

As soon as he said it, he shook his head.

"Bring me some paper and pen. I'll write him a letter myself. A man like him must not be allowed to be lost in the crowd."

At this moment, Fang Yi was still checking the harvest at the stronghold.
