"My affairs are none of your business." Lei frowned and said, "But you, after being resurrected, did you also pledge allegiance to that Lord Kaz?"

"That's right, tired? Join us! A new era is about to begin, and the days when Lord Kaz reigns over the night and the day are coming."

"Gentlemen, lift your hoods and let Leidu see who you really are."

A group of hooded figures took off their hoods. There were more than twenty people in total, most of whom were either former Lower Moon demons or current Lower Moon demons.

The other half consists of strangely dressed living people who are reincarnators controlled by Kars.

While Luo Yan and the others were still leisurely discussing the Dao during the final selection, Kaz had already taken action and taken control of most of the story characters and reincarnators in his own camp.

At this moment, in the Demon King's camp, apart from Muzan and a few other reincarnators who were not under control, almost everyone else had been taken over by Kars.

Muzan himself was secretly imprisoned by Kars.

"What kind of power does this Kars possess that allows him to revive the dead and control so many Lower Moon demons?" Rui truly felt just how terrifying Kars' power was.

If his resurrection comes without any cost, wouldn't he be able to easily raise an army of Lower Moon warriors?

From the Warring States period to the Taisho era, the Upper Moon Demons remained largely unchanged, consisting of only a few individuals, while the Lower Moon Demons suffered countless deaths in battles against the Pillars of each generation.

If any dead Lower Moon demons could be resurrected at will, Kars could indeed raise a large army composed of Lower Moon demons.

With such an army, there would be a great deal of confidence in overthrowing the Demon King Muzan. At that time, Pero's words about Kars ruling the night and the day would no longer be empty talk.

But, should I really rebel against Muzan?

I feel tired and hesitant.

He did not resist Muzan's rule. He obediently played house in the Natagumo Mountain. Muzan did not interfere with him or criticize him. He was very lax in managing him.

Muzan makes all the demons search for the Blue Spider Lily, and even though they're all so lazy and uncooperative, the boss isn't angry. Is there a better boss than Muzan?

Of course, Rei was unaware of Muzan's despicable behavior. Later, Muzan, disgusted by the Lower Moons' strength, showed no mercy when killing his own people.

It was truly a case of swift, decisive strikes, wiping out only Hirakawa Daisuke from the Lower Moon—no, only Enmu.

Muzan is currently ignoring them and is only focused on researching Western medicine and indulging in pharmaceutical manufacturing.

But if you don't agree...

Lei looked at the hooded men in front of him, each of them staring at him menacingly. He feared that if he said no, his life would be in danger.

Just as Lei was hesitating, his mother suddenly appeared behind him.

"I'm tired. The silk threads I set up in the forest have been activated, and a large number of living people have entered the mountains."

Lei's mother was not his real biological mother; she was just a demon that Lei randomly grabbed to play house with him.

Tired after hearing his mother's report, he didn't take it seriously and said nothing.

Instead, the reincarnated ones among the hooded figures whispered among themselves.

"It's so late, why would so many people enter the mountain? I think these people must be the reincarnated members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Only they who have read the original work would know the secrets of Mount Natagumo."

"So soon we're going to make contact with so many reincarnators like the Demon Slayer Corps? I wonder how many of them there are and how strong they are?" A bald man slid a short-handled staff out of his sleeve, preparing for the fierce battle that was about to begin.

The discussion among the reincarnators also caught the attention of Rokuro, the leader of the Lower Moon demons.

Upon hearing that a group of Lord Kaz's enemies had arrived, Rokuro revealed a cruel smile: "Rai, you can think about it slowly. We'll go deal with a few bugs first."

Rokuro was full of confidence. With six Lower Moons and more than a dozen of Kars's companions, even a Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps would find it difficult to escape death.

However, what Rokugo was unaware of was that among the people who came to Natagumo Mountain this time, there was an extremely terrifying being among them.

Luo Yan, who was determined to obtain the title, was already on his way. To him, the mere waning crescent moon and reincarnators gathered here were nothing more than a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

Chapter 160 Lower Moon VS Reincarnator

When Lei heard that Lulu was going to help him deal with the invaders in the mountains, he was somewhat puzzled, but he was also relieved.

Without having to make a choice on the spot, you have ample time to weigh the pros and cons.

Lei ordered his mother to give directions to Lulu and the others, and took advantage of this time to start thinking quickly.

"Lord Lulu, please follow me." The tired mother bowed and led the way.

The third Lower Moon demon, Blind Leaf, and a group of reincarnators monitored Rui, while the rest of the group followed Rui's mother, intending to confront the intruders.

There are twenty Demon Slayer Corps members who have decided to attack Mount Natagumo.

However, these twenty people were not of one mind. The family of five was exhausted, so how could they possibly share among twenty reincarnators? Therefore, they were first-come, first-served, and each relied on their own abilities to make their way.

The exhausted mother realized that there were actually only eight reincarnators who arrived first in this wave.

One of these eight people is a psychic, who can use telepathy to determine the enemy's location.

At that moment, more than a dozen beings with exceptionally strong minds suddenly appeared within his sensing range, startling him.

"Stop! Besides the demons, there are other people in Mount Natagumo."

A reincarnator with a lion's head, standing three meters tall and possessing a burly physique, asked, "Are they other reincarnators from our camp, or from the opposing camp?"

“I have memorized the mental frequencies of everyone in our camp, except for one guy whose mental frequency I cannot read. How could I not recognize them if they appeared in front of me?”

"So, the people on the other side are all from the opposing faction!" said a guy dressed as a mage. "How many of them are there exactly?"

The mental-type reincarnator said, "There are fifteen people, but we cannot rule out the possibility that there are beings that even I cannot sense. Everyone should be vigilant."

The magician tugged at his hat and said, "This is troublesome. The enemy outnumbers us. Let's decide whether we should continue this operation."

"Xiao Lu, have they discovered us?" A member of the eight-person team, whose body gleamed with a metallic sheen, asked the mental-type reincarnator.

"Captain, the enemy is charging straight at us; they've clearly spotted us."

The metal captain's hands transformed into liquid metal, forming two egg-shaped weapons: "What else is there to say? Get ready for battle."

Without a word, the magician took out an ancient book from his robes and began summoning otherworldly creatures.

He opened the book, waved his staff, and a dozen magic circles appeared on the spot.

One by one, gray-skinned goblins carrying wooden clubs emerged from the magic circle.

These goblins have thin arms and legs, and their fighting ability is even less than that of an adult human, so magicians naturally wouldn't rely on them to fight.

He restrained the goblins in place, solemnly turned to the last page of the ancient book, and began to chant incantations with intonation.

The sorcerer's incantations were obscure and difficult to understand, like the babbling of a mental patient. Just listening to one or two notes was enough to make one feel uncomfortable and nauseous.

As the incantation was chanted, the surrounding air suddenly became oppressive and foul-smelling.

The forest was vast and open, with a gentle evening breeze. After the incantation was finished, the forest felt like a dark, churning sea. The black trees swayed like giant waves in a dark ocean, and the refreshing evening breeze was mixed with the smell of dead fish and rotten shrimp.

"vomit!"

Suddenly, the magician's abdomen swelled up, and he vomited up an egg the size of a goose egg.

The egg is blood red and has many tiny fleshy strands on its surface.

"I offer these goblins as a sacrifice to you, great $...$."

A word that cannot be described in human language and writing was uttered, and the egg began to stir; the fleshy threads suddenly swelled up, binding all the goblins.

The goblins looked terrified and struggled desperately, but they were unable to break free from the silk threads or resist the sacrificial process.

After three breaths, the goblin's flesh and blood were completely transformed into pus and blood, which was then absorbed by the flesh and blood egg.

The eggs that were sacrificed grew to over two meters tall.

The next second, the giant flesh and blood egg split open, and a monster with a head like a sunflower, a mouth like a tunnel boring machine, and no eyes, nose, or ears appeared before the reincarnators.

The monster resembles a giant snake, but it has many purplish-black tentacles and bristles around its neck, and hundreds or thousands of human arms on both sides of its body, supporting the monster's body like centipedes.

The monster exuded an aura of despair and oppression. Its serpentine body moved slightly on the ground, and its steel-like scales scraped against the rocks with a grating sound.

"Mage, your summoned creature is disgusting, but I must say, its strength is terrifying. Even I felt a chill." The metal man captain tentatively asked, "I wonder what the origin of this monster is? It seems to be somewhat of a counter to your element!"

Of the eight of them, apart from the mental-type reincarnator and the metal man who knew each other, the others were all strangers who had signed a temporary team contract, so even the metal man captain didn't know the magician's background.

After summoning the monster, the mage was somewhat weak. He leaned against a large tree, panting, and said, "This is not a monster from the Cthulhu pantheon. This is a lost pantheon that I discovered by chance."

This summoned beast is the Corrupted Serpent of the Underworld. It's the first one I've ever summoned, and I'm not entirely sure how powerful it is.

The mage's skills look evil; he seems more like a reincarnated being from the Ghost King faction.

However, the Nightmare Space judges that magic is not an evil force, and magicians do not have non-human blood, so magicians are naturally on the Demon Slayer Corps side.

Once the summoning was complete, the Lower Moon demons and reincarnators from the Demon King's faction all appeared.

Both sides stared at each other silently, observing each other's strength.

"Among them are five waning crescent moons and ten reincarnators. The waning crescent moons are easy to deal with, but these reincarnators are troublesome."

The metal captain said to the magician, "Is it alright to send your summoned creatures to deal with those Lower Moon demons?"

The magician laughed, "The corrupting serpents of the underworld love to feed on the dead and evil spirits. A mere waning crescent moon can be destroyed with a flick of the wrist."

Having said that, the magician controlled the corrupted serpent of the underworld to launch an attack.

The monstrous serpent moved like an arrow released from a bow, weaving and darting through the trees like a black line, and in an instant entered the enemy's camp.

"Be careful, spread out." The reincarnators were cautious and dared not take the attacks of unknown skills and monsters head-on.

These native evil spirits, however, remained unmoved, confident in their abilities, and unafraid of the corrupting serpents of the underworld.

The sixth moon, Kame, stepped forward, ready to face the enemy.

The funu wriggled and in the blink of an eye transformed into a monster with the appearance of an ape, the body of a tanuki, the limbs of a tiger, and the tail of a snake, yet it could fly without wings.

The cauldron flew through the air, pouncing from top to bottom at the corrupted serpent of the underworld.

Its powerful claws pressed down on the body of the Corrupted Serpent, sparks flying as the claws rubbed against the serpent's scales, but it could not penetrate the serpent's body. The Fu Nue then used its teeth to bite at the serpent's head.

The decaying snake, however, spewed green pus from the sunflower's grotesque head.

The liquid poured onto the body of the cauldron, instantly corroding it, destroying all flesh and blood, and revealing its stark white bones.

The cauldron screamed in agony. The corrupting snake twisted its body and coiled around the cauldron. Its grotesque head split open, revealing a mouthful of sharp teeth that frantically tore at the cauldron.

The pus from the Netherworld Corruption Serpent has the ability to erode life force. After being corroded by the pus, Fu Nue's body could not be healed, and his strength grew weaker and weaker. Unable to resist, he was swallowed whole by the Netherworld Corruption Serpent.

"霹鵺!"

One of the Lower Moons died right away, and his companion, Zero, cried out in alarm.
