People in Demon Slayer: The Journey That Began with Demon Slayer

"A person named Huang Quan broke the seal on the demon Wang Liang that had been sealed away in the Land of Demons."

"Monsters?" Yosuke and Gyutaro were hearing this name for the first time.

Itachi explained, "The letter said that in the past, ninjas who wanted to dominate the ninja world used the power of the demon Mouryou to create an army with immortal bodies. Mouryou led the army to ravage various countries and pushed the continent to the brink of destruction. At that time, Miroku, the priestess of the Land of Demons, used powerful ninjutsu to separate and seal Mouryou's soul and body, finally calming the incident down."

The soul seal of the demon has now been lifted by the Yellow Springs. If the demon's soul and body were to merge into one and it were to be fully resurrected, it would create an irreversible situation, and the world would be destroyed as a result.

Only the priestess of the Land of Demons can reseal the demon. Now, Yomi, who has gained the demon's power, is leading his army to attack the Land of Demons where the priestess resides. Therefore, the Land of Demons has appealed to all the ninja villages in the ninja world for help, and our Kagerou Village is among them.

"Even with all the ninja villages going to provide support, they still couldn't stop the army of the Underworld?"

Itachi nodded solemnly: "That's right, it only slowed down the advance of the Yellow Springs army. They are immortal now, and only if the priestess successfully seals the soul of the demon can they be immortal."

Gyutaro asked doubtfully, "Then wouldn't it be enough to just have the witch from the Land of Demons seal that thing called 'Mouryou'?"

Itachi explained, "Right now, Yomi and his men are hunting down the priestess. The priestess is nowhere to be found, and the shrine that seals the demon is now guarded by Yomi's army. We must find the priestess and then lead her through Yomi's army to enter the shrine."

Yosuke said, "Itachi, Gyutaro and I are going to the Land of Demons. I'm quite concerned about that demon."

"Alright, then I'll lead the ninjas from Kagero Village to support the main force."

Yosuke and Gyutaro travel to the Land of Demons.

"Lord Yangjie, why are you concerned about that demon?"

Yosuke's expression hadn't relaxed since he learned about the demon.

“That demon is probably not a creature of this world. It is very likely that it comes from another world, just like us. Moreover, the power of the demon that I sensed is not essentially the same as our demon power, but I have developed a desire for it.”

"eager?"

"That's right, just like the demons transformed by Muzan Kibutsuji's desire to eat people, even though I only caught a whiff of their scent, it still made my mouth water."

Furthermore, I can sense that the demon called Wangliang is experiencing the same thing as me. If I can sense its presence, then it should be able to sense mine as well.

Gyutaro took a deep breath, but he didn't smell the tantalizing aroma Yosuke had described.

Upon entering the Land of Demons, the entire country was in ruins, with destruction everywhere.

Gyutaro scratched his head in puzzlement: "How can we find one person in such a big country?"

"follow me!"

Yosuke led the way and ran forward until he saw a rather large palace.

As Yosuke and Gyutaro approached the palace.

The palace was in chaos, with sounds of fighting coming from all directions.

After entering the palace.

The entire palace was in ruins, and the ground was littered with corpses.

Chapter 275 The Priestess Shion

Four ninjas with different hair colors are breaking through multiple lines of defense and advancing into the palace.

These four ninjas were none other than Yomi's subordinates, Kusuna, Setsuna, Kitai, and ~.

Now, only a young girl and a man who looks like a guard remain in the palace; everyone else has been wiped out.

"We will accept the priestess's life."

Just as the four were about to make their move, Yosuke and Gyutaro appeared at the door.

"Is this brat the priestess who can seal away demons?" Looking at the priestess Shion, who was about the same age as Suigetsu, Gyutaro felt somewhat incredulous.

The enemy that now requires the ninja world to unite against is actually just a brat.

Yosuke said with great certainty, "Based on her aura, it's her."

Among the four, Kitai, who used Earth Release, looked at Yosuke and Gyutaro with displeasure. He was about to attack Yosuke and Gyutaro when he was stopped by the leader, Kusuna.

"retreat!"

Kim Tai asked in confusion, "There are only two of them, why should we retreat?"

"Have you forgotten what Lord Huang Quan said?"

When Kusuna said this, Kitai, Setsuna, and ~ were all stunned for a moment.

Before setting off, Huang Quan, who had obtained the power of the demons, gave them a heads-up and showed them what Yang Jie looked like. He told them to retreat immediately if they encountered him.

The four immediately abandoned the shrine maiden Shion, who was right in front of them, and chose to retreat.

However, several bloody slashes in the air cut off the four-person group's escape route.

Gyutaro, holding a blood-stained scythe, sneered, "We didn't let you leave just like that."

The four-person group understood that the two people in front of them would not let them leave easily, so they had no choice but to fight back.

Fire Release: Swift Fire!

"Wind Release: Divine Wind!"

Kitai used Fire Release, and Setsuna used Wind Release. The two ninjutsu combined to form a continuously exploding fire tornado that swept towards Gyutaro.

"Blood Demon Art? Crimson Scythe Sweeps Across Hell!"

Gyutaro combined Wind Release: Tornado Hurricane with Blood Demon Art, and a blue-red tornado, even larger than the opponent's fire tornado, instantly annihilated it.

The roof of the entire palace was blown off by Gyutaro's blue-red tornado.

Faced with Gyutaro's Crimson Scythe Hell, the four-man group's pupils constricted sharply, and they retreated at top speed.

However, Kitai was a step too slow and was swept into the Crimson Scythe Hell, instantly vanishing without a trace.

Gyutaro cut off the Blood Demon Art in time, preventing the priestess Shion from getting involved, and then went to chase after the remaining three.

Yosuke then strolled up to the shrine maiden Shion.

Shion's guard, Ashiho, asked Yosuke, "You've come to support the ninjas of the Land of Demons, haven't you? This is so timely."

"That's right, the Village of Blazing Sunshine has received a letter of appeal from the Land of Demons. We are here on behalf of the Village of Blazing Sunshine to support the Land of Demons."

Just then, Yosuke heard a clear bell sound.

After the bell rang, the shrine maiden Shion's eyes glazed over for a moment.

When Shion came to her senses, she looked at Yosuke with deep fear in her eyes!

"Don't come any closer!"

Shion appeared to be very resistant to Yosuke.

Ashiho asked in confusion, "Lady Shion, what did you predict this time?"

"Ashiho, run! This man will destroy the entire ninja world!"

Ashiho, who had unconditionally trusted Shion's prophecy, instantly became alert and pointed her katana at Yosuke.

Yosuke felt somewhat confused.

However, Shion's bell rang once again.

Ziyuan's eyes glazed over once again, and when she came to her senses, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

"How is this possible? The prophecy has changed?!"

Upon hearing this, Ashiho's expression also became incredulous.

Because Shion possesses the ability to foresee the future, her predictions have been 100% accurate to date.

Yosuke asked, "What did you predict about me?"

"The demon possessed your body and then destroyed the entire ninja world."

"If the prophecy has changed, what about the other prophecy?"

"You devoured the demon..."

"Is that all? For example, what happens after it's devoured?"

Shion shook her head and said, "My prophecy ends here."

Gyutaro returned from the pursuit.

"Lord Yosuke, one of them escaped. Also, I found this among those two corpses."

There were two corpses resembling centipedes in the palm of Gyutaro's hand.

Yosuke picked up a centipede and examined it closely. Although it was dead, the power and aura of the demonic spirit still lingered in its corpse.

Yang Jie stared blankly at the centipede corpse, his own desires urging him to devour the centipede corpse, which still retained the power of the demons.

Yang Jie actively absorbed the power of the demons within the centipede's corpse.

The demonic power that entered Yosuke's body began to merge with the demonic power, forming a peculiar power that possessed both demonic and demonic power.

"I see..." Yosuke suddenly realized.

"What's wrong with Lord Yosuke?"

"I know why I crave the power of the demons. It's my body's instinct. My body has reached its limit, and devouring demons will allow me to break through that limit and evolve."

At the same time, the demon could also sense me, because it, too, yearned for a breakthrough, and thus wanted to devour me to surpass its own limits.

Although Yosuke absorbed the demonic power from the centipede's corpse, the amount was far too small to reach the level of evolution.

Gyutaro guessed, "So, Yosuke-sama and Moryo are sworn enemies, right?"

Yang Jie nodded and said, "That's right, it's most appropriate to describe my relationship with the demon as a nemesis. My battle with it is inevitable."

Ziyuan, however, excitedly stopped her, saying, "No! You can't meet with Wangliang!"

Yosuke explained to Shion, "Even if I don't go looking for the demon, it will come looking for me. Your concerns are based on your prophecy, but a prophecy is always just a guess about things that haven't happened yet. I've also met people who can foresee the future, but the future is not immutable. After all, you are the one who controls your destiny."

"But if you are devoured by the demons, this world will be in danger!"

Yosuke comforted him, "Does that mean the world won't be in danger if I don't get devoured? Isn't the entire ninja world currently resisting the army of demons?"

I can sense the entanglement of fate between you priestesses and the demons. Even if you seal the demons, a second, a third, will likely appear from the underworld and break the seal, and it will continue endlessly. Don't you want to completely sever the fate between the priestesses and the demons?

Shion was stunned. If what Yosuke said was true, this was indeed a good opportunity for the priestess and the demon to sever their entangled fate.
