The Heavens: One World, One Superpower

The madam was overjoyed.

It's rare to see such generous customers; while many high-ranking officials and nobles are wealthy, they are also often stingy.

The other Pillar-level swordsmen followed behind Uzui Tengen. Only the Flower Pillar remained at the inn; her female identity would arouse suspicion if she entered the Kyogoku-ya.

The six people were immediately led into a spacious and extremely luxurious private room.

Yu Sui Tengen generously said, "I'll pay for tonight's expenses."

Su Chen thought to himself, "If I had such a generous friend in my past life, I would definitely have made him my godfather."

Uzui Tengen grabbed the madam and said, "Quickly invite the courtesan here. I want her tonight. I don't want anyone else."

The madam said, "Right away, right away. Princess Fern is still with another distinguished guest. Please wait a moment while I arrange for the other girls to come in first."

Yu Sui Tianyuan said, "Alright, don't keep me waiting, make the arrangements quickly."

The madam went out.

Obanai Iguro said, "Tengen, do you come here often? You seem to know this place very well. You probably spend a lot of public funds on this."

Uzui Tengen chuckled and said, "Look at what you're saying. For the sake of the Demon Slayer Corps, I sacrificed my own body to come here and gather intelligence. How can that be considered spending public funds?"

Rengoku Kyojuro laughed and said, "Tengen invited me to dinner once."

Sanemi Shinazugawa chuckled and said, "He invited me three times."

Yoshiyuki Tomioka remained calm and did not respond.

Obanai Iguro said, "You guys are really not doing your jobs properly."

Su Chen ignored their laughter and instead activated his own senses.

I didn't use my cunning, because the fluctuations in energy would alert the evil spirits. I simply opened up my senses and listened to the sounds of the outside world.

Gradually, other sounds were discerned from the chorus of laughter and murmurs.

"Daki, my lord has ordered that within seven days, you and I must kill at least three Pillar-level swordsmen as revenge against the Demon Slayer Corps."

"Lord Kokushibo, what has happened?"

"The day before yesterday, Upper Moon Four and Five were killed. Now, among the Upper Moon demons, only you and I remain."

"What?"

"In less than a month, four Upper Moon demons have been killed in succession. The lord has noticed that the demons' fortunes are low and that we need to wait a hundred years to wear down this generation of Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen. Only then will it be beneficial for the development of the demon forces. Prepare well. In seven days, we will try our best to kill three Pillar-level swordsmen to give the lord an explanation. After seven days, you and I will enter the Infinity Castle and remain silent for a hundred years."

"Isn't seven days too short? After all, pillars aren't common."

"Heh, why don't you tell the lord this? The lord's orders are non-negotiable. Find three Pillar-level swordsmen within seven days. If you can turn them into demons, that would be best. If not, then kill them. If you can't kill them, then retreat back to the Infinite Castle and wait for a hundred years."

Su Chen's eyes widened; he hadn't expected that Kokushibo was also in Kyogoku's house.

He quickly looked at the other pillars and made a hushed gesture.

Upon seeing this, the other pillars immediately stopped talking, realizing that something was amiss.

Su Chen dipped his finger in water and wrote on the table: "Next room, Upper Moon One Kokushibo, Upper Moon Four Daughter."

"What?"

Everyone was shocked.

Uzui Tengen wrote on the table with water: "What should I do?"

The six people exchanged glances.

They all looked solemn.

It took ten people to completely kill Upper Moon Twenty back then. Now that Upper Moon One and Upper Moon Six have arrived, they are not confident that they can keep both demons alive. There is a possibility that some of them may even die.

Furthermore, with so many ordinary people in Yoshiwara, the casualties in battle would be too great, and the impact would be particularly significant.
