Demon Slayer: I am a Demon.

Moreover, this place is not like the remote and secluded Eternal Bliss Sect, where explosives can be used with impunity.

There are too many restrictions.

If possible, everyone would prefer to let this Upper Rank Demon bask in the sunlight, as this would avoid many dangers. Although it feels despicable to do so, there's no need to be so particular when dealing with demons.

"If we can find where they hide during the day, we should be able to target them."

Kanae Kocho spoke at this moment, just as she had when dealing with Doma.

Involuntarily, everyone's gaze fell on the three ladies: Hinatsuru, Suma, and Maki.

Under the expectant gazes of everyone, Hinatsuru, Suma, and Maki looked somewhat embarrassed. After hesitating for a moment, Hinatsuru spoke up, "We also want to find out where Jueji is hiding during the day, but Jueji disappears just as day is about to arrive. We can't find any trace of her during the day."

"Not only that, but the place where the other party disappeared was different each time, so it was impossible to guess where the other party was hiding during the day."

Suma also spoke at this moment.

Clearly, despite her well-defined identity as a courtesan, Jue Ji was obviously vigilant enough not to be easily found to have any flaws during the day.

Of course, given enough time to investigate, it should still be possible to find where Jue Ji was hiding during the day.

However, with the death of Upper Moon Two, Doma, this news may very well spread.

After all, Muzan Kibutsuji possessed the ability to remotely share the vision of his demons, so it was highly likely that Muzan discovered Doma's death while he was bathed in sunlight.

If Muzan were to warn his subordinates, would Jue Ji abandon her identity as a courtesan and go into hiding?

At that time, it won't be about letting the ghost bask in the sunlight during the day, but about finding the whereabouts of Jue Ji.

They all frowned and pondered, but clearly had no good solutions.

Perhaps Su Mu's consistent impression on everyone is that he is not a person who likes adventure and does not like the Demon Slayer Corps' constant head-on confrontations with demons.

But in fact, it's not that the Demon Slayer Corps doesn't want to hunt demons easily during the day; it's just that nowadays, finding demons during the day is simply too difficult.

Just like the last time they found Doma during the day, this is actually a situation that is basically impossible for the Demon Slayer Corps to come up with.

Few other demons are as high-profile as Douma, who also serves as the patriarch of the Eternal Paradise Cult.

Inevitably, everyone's attention turned to Su Mu.

If he hadn't devoured Doma, Su Mu naturally wouldn't have been willing to take the risk. Ordinary 'Pillars' are basically no match for Upper Moon demons, even if the opponent is the weakest Upper Moon Six.

But now, after devouring Doma and sparring with Himejima Gyomei, Su Mu has a general idea of ​​his own strength.

As the strongest pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Himejima is undoubtedly the strongest. If he were to activate his 'Mark' and 'Crimson Blade', he could even contend with Upper Moon One, Kokushibo.

It can be said that Kyōmei Himejima is capable of fighting against the Upper Three-Stringed Instrument, but against the Lower Three-Stringed Instrument, he can basically crush it.

Since he was already strong enough to overwhelm Upper Moon Six and deal with Jue Ji at night, there was no need to drag Jue Ji into the sunlight.

This is different from the situation when dealing with Upper Moon Two, Doma.

"How about this, I will go to see Jue Ji tonight as a guest."

Su Mu spoke.

Everyone was somewhat surprised upon hearing this, after all, Su Mu had always given people the impression of being quite steady, and he had even hunted evil spirits very rarely. At least, until now, they had almost never seen Su Mu face evil spirits directly.

This was probably the first time Su Mu had faced a powerful evil spirit alone.

"I'd better go."

Sanemi Shinazugawa stepped forward.

Su Mu looked at Shinazugawa Sanemi's face and shook his head. Even the most basic requirement of having a scar on one's face, as Jue Ji required for meeting guests, was not met.

Upon seeing this, Sanemi Shinazugawa felt deeply hurt.

Kanae was eager to try, but clearly, the other woman's identity was not suitable.

"I should be able to."

Rengoku Kyojuro raised his sword-like eyebrows.

It must be said that Rengoku Kyojuro is a rather handsome man, and he would actually be quite suitable to meet Jue-hime.

"Mr. Purgatory's strength is still somewhat lacking."

Su Mu shook his head.

Kyojuro Rengoku was somewhat unconvinced, but he also knew how powerful the Upper Moon demons were. After all, he had briefly fought Doma at the Elysium Cult and was no match for him.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha".

Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and said, "My strength should be enough, so I'll go."

As the strongest 'Pillar' of the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Himejima's strength is undoubtedly sufficient. Moreover, to be honest, Gyomei Himejima's appearance is not bad, he just leans more towards the tough guy aspect.

But... almost everyone shook their heads in unison, their eyes almost all fixed on Himejima Gyomei's bald head.

"It's probably inappropriate for a bald man to visit a brothel."

Su Mu shook his head.

Beimingyu Xingming touched his bald head and remained silent for a moment.

In the end, only Su Mu and Rengoku Kyojuro met with Jue Ji as guests at night. If it were before, Rengoku Kyojuro would probably have gone himself, but Su Mu had defeated Himejima Gyoumei in sparring, and Rengoku Kyojuro believed that he was not as strong as Su Mu.

Chapter 267 Jue Ji

Yoshiwara nighttime pleasure village

It's much more lively than during the day.

Under the flickering lights, the geisha swayed her slender waist, and behind the folding fan were faces that seemed to both resist and welcome, exuding an alluring charm.

Compared to other geishas who use various methods to attract customers, Kyogoku-ya appears very quiet and elegant. It doesn't seem like a place for men to relax and entertain, but rather a refined and elegant place.

Dressed as a nobleman, Su Mu arrived at Kyogoku-ya.

Of course, he was not the only one who came to see the courtesan; there were also five or six other dignitaries who came to catch a glimpse of her beauty.

Su Mu glanced at the few people around him who were clearly excited, then looked around.

This was his first time visiting such an entertainment venue, and he was quite curious about everything around him.

…………

A rather luxurious room at Kyogoku-ya.

A beautiful woman is drawing her eyebrows in front of a mirror. She is wearing a pink kimono with countless bright red flowers embroidered on it, and her hair is styled in an updo with a flower tucked into it.

Through the mirror, you can see a delicate and beautiful face.

The woman was none other than the currently most sought-after courtesan of Kyogoku-ya, Queen Jue.

Of course, the courtesan's identity is only on the surface; her true identity is a demon, and a powerful one at that—the Upper Moon Six, the Twin Demons, Daki.

Unlike other demons who have to hunt hard and take many risks to satisfy their desires, Daki only needs to wait for food to come to her, and she can even take her time to choose.

Among them were some swordsmen from the Demon Slayer Corps, and even some powerful 'Pillars'.

"Daughter, the guests have been waiting for a long time."

The madam of Kyogoku-ya came over. Although she was anxious, she still showed a flattering expression to Jueji.

"Just wait a little longer."

Jue Ji didn't care at all and continued to draw her eyebrows in front of the mirror. Looking at her beautiful self in the mirror, she was in a very good mood.

Who are the guests this time?

As Jueji drew her eyebrows, she casually asked a question.

“Naoya Akiyama from Tokyo spent a fortune on his daughter last time, and Tomohiro Nishimura from Hokkaido is doing the same this time…”

The madam spoke softly.

The competition to even see Ji was fierce; without any status or power, there was simply no chance of getting a glimpse.

Jue Ji listened casually, and only after the last stroke of her eyebrow was finished did she slowly stand up under the madam's anxious gaze.

…………

Su Mu was seated in a rather spacious room with a separate desk on which were placed a fruit platter and pastries. Su Mu picked up a pastry and ate it casually while waiting.

Compared to the fervor of those around him, he appeared much quieter.

After swallowing another bite of pastry, Su Mu couldn't help but look up. To the sound of an unknown melody, a woman walked towards him.

Several of the people who came with Su Mu even stood up, their eyes burning with fervor.

At that moment, Jue Ji walked in. The girl was wearing a pink kimono, with her shoulders slightly exposed.

A slender waist, long, straight legs, and glimpses of skin that are translucent and radiant, her stunningly beautiful face adorned with exquisite makeup.

Every frown and smile is enough to make one's soul swoon.

Seeing this, Su Mu roughly understood why Jue Ji was regarded as the most beautiful courtesan and why so many people were so enthusiastic about her.

They certainly have enough capital.

As Jue Ji appeared, almost everyone present became excited, their gazes towards her filled with greed and infatuation.

As for all of this, Jue Ji was already used to it. As usual, she danced, which drove the so-called noblemen crazy.

Jueji was well aware of what these so-called noblemen wanted. Most of these men only saw her as prey, wanting to become her lovers and completely devour her. But she was the same; she was also choosing her prey.

Of course, under normal circumstances, Jue Ji would not lay a hand on these nobles unless she found them particularly delicious, since the death of these nobles would have a significant impact.

While dancing, Jue Ji idly observed the nobles below the stage.

Soon, their gaze fell on Su Mu.

The reason why people noticed Su Mu was not only because he was handsome, but also because of the sword at his waist.

She could clearly feel an extremely uncomfortable sensation emanating from the scabbard.

The only sword that could make her feel uncomfortable is probably the Nichirin sword.

The person carrying the Nichirin Blade is almost undoubtedly a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Speaking of which, it seems like it's been a long time since I've tasted the flesh and blood of a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman."

As Jue Ji thought to herself, she looked at Su Mu again, and a look of greed rose in the depths of her eyes.
