During his battle with Doma, Kyojuro Rengoku inhaled ice crystals into his lungs, which are now severely damaged.

If we don't use the healing talisman developed by Xingliu, he probably won't be able to be saved.

Moreover, ordinary healing talismans are not very effective; only high-quality healing talismans can be used.

Even he, the young head of the Hyuga clan, only brought five of these high-quality healing talismans with him this time, so he still felt a little reluctant to give them to Rengoku Kyojuro.

However, a masterpiece is still a masterpiece.

After Hiashi Hyuga used it, Kyojuro Rengoku's body immediately lit up with a faint green light.

Just as Tanjiro and the others were surprised, Kyojuro Rengoku's wounds had stopped bleeding, and the minor injuries on his body had completely healed.

Under everyone's gaze, Rengoku Kyojuro slowly opened his eyes.

Although he still appeared somewhat weak, he forced himself to stand up, demonstrating his indomitable fighting spirit.

Seeing his defiant demeanor, Hiashi Hyuga couldn't help but whisper a reminder:

"Although you are no longer in mortal danger, your body still needs time to recover. It would be best if you rested a bit more."

Upon hearing this, Kyojuro burst into hearty laughter, though there was a hint of reluctance in his voice.

He shook his head and said firmly, "I appreciate your kindness."

But I have more important things to do now.

We have successfully slain an Upper Moon demon; this is an unprecedented victory. I must immediately inform my lord of this news.

As he spoke, he took a deep breath and sent out a special call into the distance.

Not long after, a jet-black raven flew over and landed on his shoulder.

Kyojuro whispered the message to Kasugai-ya, then looked up at the group and said apologetically:

"I apologize for keeping you all waiting. This news is far too important; I must inform the lord immediately."

Furthermore, I have another request: I hope you will all accompany me to meet our lord.

Upon hearing Kyojuro's request, Minato and the others instinctively looked at Seiryu.

Xingliu shrugged slightly and said with a smile, "Why are you all looking at me like that?"

This is your assessment, and I will not interfere with your choices. The decision is entirely yours.

After Seiryu expressed his stance, Minato and the others considered it briefly and then accepted Kyojuro's invitation.

Although they were newcomers and gained some understanding of demons through a fierce battle, their knowledge was certainly not as comprehensive and in-depth as that of the local forces.

Therefore, accepting this invitation aligns with their expectations and will help them gain a deeper understanding of the world and their enemies.

Seeing that Minato and the others readily agreed, Kyojuro beamed and led them to a place to rest temporarily.

His current physical condition is indeed not optimistic, and he urgently needs rest and recovery.

Moreover, this event of slaying the Upper Moon demon is of great significance and may require a meeting of the Pillars to discuss and make decisions.

These few days also allow the other pillars to finish their current tasks and then come to attend the meeting.

During his recuperation, Minato and the others were not idle.

They left a few people behind to communicate with Kyojuro and the others, and to gather intelligence.

The others left and went elsewhere to gather intelligence.

.......

In a lavishly decorated and magnificent hall, a family is sitting together enjoying a sumptuous breakfast.

The exquisite food laid out on the table clearly indicates that this family belongs to the upper class of society.

However, in this warm and peaceful atmosphere, the child suddenly stopped what he was doing, as if troubled by some unseen force.

The parents noticed something was wrong with their child and turned their worried gazes toward him.

Just then, a huge fleshy whip appeared out of nowhere and struck the parents' heads with lightning speed.

Caught completely off guard, the two had their heads smashed instantly, blood splattering everywhere, the scene extremely gruesome.

Chapter 264 Muzan's Fear

The next moment, the child's body underwent a dramatic transformation.

His eyes were as if stained with blood, and his body grew rapidly in an instant, becoming burly and powerful.

The fleshy whip behind him, the very one that had just taken his parents' lives, now seemed to have become a part of his body.

However, if one observes closely, one will find that this seemingly ferocious monster's eyes reveal an undisguised fear.

Deep within his eyes, it seemed as if an indescribable storm of emotions was raging.

"This is impossible! How could anyone be stronger than Yoriichi Tsugikuni!"

Muzan roared inwardly, unable to accept this reality.

His anger and fear intertwined, forming a raging storm.

"You bunch of useless trash! You're all useless trash!"

He roared, his voice filled with boundless rage: "Four Upper Moons couldn't even bring back a child! What use are you to me?!"

To vent the fear caused by the starfall, Muzan frantically swung the flesh whip behind him.

His roar echoed through the hall, mingling with the sound of the flesh whip, creating a breathtaking scene.

The flesh whip, under his wielding, resembled a nimble giant snake, drawing sharp trajectories in the air.

Each lash seemed to tear the air apart, accompanied by a heart-stopping whistling sound.

However, despite Muzan's frenzied rage, the fear deep within him did not dissipate.

Instead, the figure that terrified him seemed to reappear before his eyes—Yoichi Tsugikuni.

He was now angrily questioning himself, holding his Nichirin Blade high: "What do you take life for?!"

At this moment, Yoriichi's figure overlapped with Seiryu, giving Muzan an unprecedented sense of oppression.

"Ahhhh!!!"

Unable to bear the fear in his heart and the pain from the wounds left by Yoriichi any longer, Muzan let out a shrill scream.

His desperate and terrified wails echoed throughout the hall, sending chills down everyone's spine.

After a long while, Muzan finally managed to shake off his fear and return to normal.

But the once magnificent hall was now in ruins.

The magnificent decorations were destroyed and the exquisite furniture was broken and scattered all over the floor.

Even the two corpses, now ravaged beyond recognition, lay silently on the cold floor, recounting the horrific tragedy that had just occurred.

Muzan took a deep breath, suppressing the turmoil in his heart, and slowly withdrew the flesh whip behind him.

He straightened his disheveled robes, regaining his elegant and mysterious demeanor.

Then, facing the empty corner, he spoke in a cold and authoritative voice:

"Nakome, inform the Upper Moon demons to wait for my arrival in the Infinity Castle."

As he finished speaking, a figure slowly emerged from the shadows.

It was a woman holding a pipa, her long hair cascading down like a waterfall, obscuring her face and making it impossible to see what she looked like.

However, the aura emanating from her gave off an indescribable sense of eeriness and mystery.

"Yes, Lord Muzan."

Nakime responded softly, her voice revealing a deep awe and absolute obedience to Muzan.

However, Muzan seemed not to notice her presence. He walked straight out of the room, his gaze fixed on the sunlight that was so close to him.

He slowly stretched out his arm, as if testing something.

"呲呲呲~~"

Just like ice touching hot water, Muzan's arm melted slightly in the sunlight, even emitting wisps of smoke.

He quickly withdrew his arm, his expression complex and difficult to decipher.

Muzan's face was ashen, and he muttered to himself:

"Why can't the blue spider lily help me completely overcome the constraints of sunlight? Something must be wrong."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly stretched out his fleshy whip, pierced through the thick wall, and pulled a ghost over.

The ghost's form was no different from a human's, but its eyes revealed fear and unease.

Muzan stared intently at the demon, his tone urgent and authoritative as he asked, "Are you telling the truth? You really saw that future demon, who had broken free of my control, overcome the sunlight?"

The demon trembled as it raised its head, and the image of Lower Moon Two appeared in Muzan's eyes.

His voice trembled and was weak, yet he answered firmly:

"It's true, Lord Muzan. My Blood Demon Art showed me that future, I really didn't lie to you!"

Seemingly to prove his point, he quickly added:

"Isn't the blue spider lily the one I found by following my directions? So, sir, I really didn't lie to you."

Muzan snorted coldly, but let the demon go.

Indeed, as he said, it was under the guidance of this demon that Muzan learned the location of the Blue Spider Lily.

For a demon who is terrified of sunlight, this flower that only blooms at noon is almost impossible to find.

Thinking of this, Muzan couldn't help but feel a surge of relief.

After creating countless useless ghosts over the years, one of them has finally come in handy.

This Lower Moon Two was created after he killed the other Lower Moons in his last fit of rage.

I never expected him to bring me such a big surprise.

His Blood Demon Art allows him to see fleeting glimpses of the future, and it is this ability that allows Muzan to control humans to pluck the Blue Spider Lily.

However, to Muzan's disappointment, he was not able to completely overcome his weakness to sunlight after eating the flower.

But fortunately, Lower Moon Two saw the future again—a demon that had broken free of his control successfully overcame the sunlight in the future.
