The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

The attack on the knife-maker village had a very significant impact.

This place is no longer safe.

The entire village needs to be evacuated.

The mineral vein is fixed; you can move people, but you can't move the mineral vein itself.

However, the Ubuyashiki family had already made all of this planned ahead, and had also prepared a second, or even a third, swordsmith village in another location.

When the message was relayed to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, and then from headquarters to Kagaya Ubuyashiki, all the planned procedures had already begun to be executed.

The Demon Slayer Corps' hidden members arrived at the swordsmith village the next day to assist the villagers with their relocation.

The village chief found Su Chen, carrying a long Nichirin sword. "This is the Nichirin sword you wanted, but after more than four hundred years, it's rusted and needs to be resharpened. But as you can see, its current condition is clearly unsuitable for sharpening."

Su Chen smiled slightly and said, "It's alright. I'll trouble the village chief to handle it properly and then arrange for someone to deliver it to me. By the way, how is Xiao Tie, the holder of the Yuan-10 style, doing? Has he been troubled?"

The village chief laughed heartily and said, "When I found him yesterday, he was extremely reluctant. Last night, you slew the invading Upper Moon demons and protected the swordsmith village without a single person being harmed. Little Iron came to me last night wanting to take the Nichirin Blade from inside and give it to you. Look, he's watching you over there."

Su Chen turned his head to look over.

A child wearing a red mask with thick eyebrows looked at Su Chen. When Su Chen looked at him, the child turned his head away shyly.

Su Chen walked over and greeted him, saying, "Xiao Tie, thank you for your Nichirin Blade."

Xiao Tie blushed with emotion at Su Chen's gratitude and quickly waved his hand, saying, "We should be thanking you; you saved the whole village."

Su Chen said, "A gentleman has things he will do and things he will not do. It is my duty to exterminate ghosts and save people."

Kotetsu said, "I hope you can kill more demons with that Nichirin Blade. It would be even better if you could kill Muzan Kibutsuji."

Su Chen nodded and said, "I will."

He looked at the carriage behind Xiaotie, which carried a puppet. It was tall and imposing, with long red hair, wearing a red samurai outfit, and had six arms, each wielding a Nichirin sword.

A fierce aura emanated from the figure. Kotetsu's ancestor was not only a master of Nichirin Blade forging but also a master of mechanical arts, having even created Yoriichi's Zero Style. This puppet displayed a portion of Yoriichi's swordsmanship, proving invaluable for training even Pillar-level swordsmen. Kotetsu's ancestor must have had a deep relationship with Yoriichi, perhaps even being Yoriichi's personal swordsmith.

The villagers of the swordsmith village retreated in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Su Chen received a message from the raven.

Kangoro landed on his shoulder and said, "The Sound Pillar, Uzui Tengen, discovered traces of an Upper Moon demon in Yoshiwara and invited the Flame Pillar, Water Pillar, Serpent Pillar, Wind Pillar, Flower Pillar, and you to go and exterminate the demon."

Su Chen nodded, handed the dried meat he was carrying to Kangoro, and said, "Please give a reply to the Sound Pillar. I will head to Yoshiwara to meet up with everyone."

Kangoro happily ate the jerky, leaped into the air, and quickly disappeared.

Su Chen pondered to himself, "Yoshiwara is the location of Upper Moon Six. To eliminate Upper Moon Six, we don't need to deploy so many Pillars. But this is good too. It will form a habit of overwhelmingly eliminating Upper Moon demons. This way, we can preserve our own forces and weaken the power of the demons to the greatest extent."

This habit seems to have started with the ten Pillar-level swordsmen killing Upper Moon Two.

The power of Upper Moon Two left a psychological scar on many Pillar-level swordsmen, who then decided that they must form a team to fight against Upper Moon Demons.
