I travel through thousands of worlds at the same time

"Sound Pillar, the Lord summoned us because something big happened!"

In response to Uzui Tengen's puzzled expression, [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Xingming, who clasped his hands together and wore a string of giant Buddhist beads, turned his head. This pillar-level strongman, who looked tall and heavy like a mountain, had a flash of grief in his eyes and said in a very sad tone: "The Butterfly House Headquarters confirmed a day ago that the imprisoned evil ghost Li Mo had escaped. He seems to have undergone a huge change. Flower Pillar Butterfly Kanae was accidentally captured by the other party, and Flower Pillar's two sisters were also abducted by the other party..."

When he said this, there was a trace of grief and resentment on the face of the Rock Pillar. He had a special relationship with the sisters Kanae Kocho. The two sisters were rescued by the Rock Pillar when they were young, otherwise they might have been eaten by the evil spirits that came to their door. Then Kanae Kocho took her sister and found ways to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

It was precisely because of this life-saving grace that Flower Pillar Kanae Kocho and her sister Shinobu Kocho have a very good relationship with Rock Pillar Gyōmei Hyōuma. Every time they meet, they will bow respectfully to the Rock Pillar and ask questions. As the strongest pillar-level warrior in the Demon Slayer Corps, Rock Pillar Gyōmei Hyōuma is quite appreciative of the two sisters Kanae Kocho, especially when Kanae Kocho became the new Flower Pillar with her outstanding talent. He looked at Flower Pillar Kanae Kocho differently, and their relationship is naturally very good.

Don't get me wrong, as the [Rock Pillar], Gyōmei Hirata has no romantic feelings for Kocho Kanae, he looks at Kocho Kanae and her sister as an elder looks at younger generations, it seems like the two sisters don't want to live an ordinary life, they join the Demon Slayer Corps in order to take revenge on the evil spirits and destroy all evil spirits, this is a common situation in the Demon Slayer Corps, what makes him feel gratified is that Kocho Kanae is very talented, and Kocho Shinobu also has a promising future.

Now, Gyomei Hirame, who is in charge of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, was the first to learn about the situation at the Chouya headquarters. Knowing how cruel those man-eating evil spirits are, he didn't think that Kanae Kocho and the others who were abducted could still be alive.

"Abducted by a ghost?"

"Really?!"

"As for that ghost, wasn't it confirmed earlier that it was just an ordinary evil ghost? How could it possibly be a match for [Hanashira]..."

Hearing the conversation between the Sound Pillar and the Rock Pillar, two pillar-level warriors of the Demon Slayer Corps, the other three pillar-level warriors of the Demon Slayer Corps were extremely surprised. They really didn't know that such a thing had actually happened. Previously, they just thought that something big had happened to the Demon Slayer Corps.

Of course, in a sense, the nature of what happened to the Demon Slayer Corps was really very serious. The death of Kanae Kocho, the "Flower Pillar", and two members of the Demon Slayer Corps (in the eyes of several pillar-level strongmen, the fate of being abducted by evil spirits is the same as death) was definitely not comparable to the ordinary swordsmen who sacrificed their lives in the past to fight against evil spirits.

As mentioned before, the situation of selecting members of the Demon Slayer Corps is not like that of selecting evil spirits. It is very easy for the scumbag boss Muzan Kibutsuji to create evil spirits. A little bit of demon blood can create several evil spirits. Some evil spirits can even separate a certain amount of demon blood to infect ordinary people and create lower-level evil spirits. Even the combat effectiveness of newly born evil spirits greatly exceeds that of ordinary people, and even the official swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps need to be careful when facing them.

As for the evil demons that eat humans to become stronger or even awaken blood demon arts, most of the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps have to risk their lives to obtain information. For example, the evil demons that master the more dangerous blood demon arts are even strong enough to PK with the Lower-rank demons without being at a disadvantage. Generally, the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps will be like meat delivery to the door when they encounter them. Only the pillar-level strongmen are more confident. Even if they encounter Lower-rank evil demons, they can basically escape unscathed. Then the Demon Slayer Corps will concentrate its main members to carry out cleanup operations on the Lower-rank evil demons that are found.

This kind of fighting style may seem cowardly but it fits the actual situation of the Demon Slayer Corps. The Demon Slayer Corps, which is unable to recruit members on a large scale and has to act in secret, has been faced with a major problem that has plagued the successive leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps, especially the scarcity of Pillar-level masters. The reason why each Pillar-level master has such great authority is because the Demon Slayer Corps values ​​them very much, and that Pillar-level masters are their important pillars in the fight against powerful evil spirits.

But, the "Flower Style" Butterfly Kanae, who has only been in office for two years, was actually kidnapped by an evil spirit? Or was it the unlucky guy who was infected with demon blood before? Did they hear it wrong? !

"The Lord is here..."

Seeing that the three Pillar-level masters all had expressions of disbelief on their faces, [Sound Pillar] Uzui Tengen was about to ask Haimei Yumai when he suddenly saw the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps and his group appear at the gate. He then straightened his face and reminded the others.

As a member of a former hidden ninja family, Tengen Uzui did not agree with the family's fratricidal training method until he left the family with his three wives and wandered around. He happened to meet Ubuyashiki Yoya and identified with him. He believed that even if Tengen Uzui had contradictions and entanglements in his heart, he could still fight bravely to protect others. Tengen Uzui was grateful to Ubuyashiki Yoya for identifying with him, and voluntarily became a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Not only Uzui Tengen, the [Sound Pillar] who once came from a ninja family, has great respect for the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kōya. The [Rock Pillar] Gyomei Hirumi was once mistaken for a murderer and almost sentenced to death, but was saved by Ubuyashiki Kōya and swore to follow him until death. The other three Pillar-level masters of the Demon Slayer Corps were promoted to Pillar-level masters after these two, and they all show considerable respect to the Demon Slayer Corps' head, Ubuyashiki Kōya, and show no signs of arrogance at all.

After all, except for the [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hirumi and the [Sound Pillar] Tengen Uzui, the other three Pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps are still very young. The [Snake Pillar] Iguro Obanai, the [Water Pillar] Tomitsusa Giyu, and the [Flame Pillar] Rengoku Kyojuro, the three of them have only become Pillar-level powerhouses in recent years. They are very respectful to the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kōya. Perhaps this is also influenced by Japan's deep-rooted feudal traditions.

Now, the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kōya, has arrived. Even the most frivolous [Sound Pillar] in the past has restrained his actions and is welcoming the arrival of the head of the Demon Slayer Corps with his companions, and preparing to start discussing the important events that have happened this time!

……

"Everyone, I have called everyone here. The reason for calling this meeting is because an unexpected situation occurred at the Butterfly House headquarters. The flower pillar Butterfly Kanae and her two sisters were kidnapped!"

Seeing five pillar-level masters waiting in front of him, Ubuyashiki Yoya, who was obviously not in very good health and even had large pale scars on his face that almost covered his eyes, greeted them with a little effort. He let his wife support him and sat in the main seat of the courtyard hall. He told the five pillar-level masters, including Beimingyu Gyomei, Uzui Tengen and Iguro Obanai, what happened yesterday: "The one who kidnapped them was the evil ghost who was previously imprisoned in the basement of the Butterfly House headquarters, that is, Mr. Li Mo, who was corroded by the evil ghost's blood and turned into a ghost. For some reason, his strength increased dramatically and he escaped from prison and kidnapped them..."

When saying this, Ubuyashiki Yoya couldn't help but express his surprise in his heart. Five Pillar-level powerhouses, such as Haimei Gyōmei and Uzui Tengen, understood that such a big thing had happened yesterday. A Pillar-level powerhouse and her sister had escaped from prison and been abducted by imprisoned evil spirits. This was indeed worthy of the Demon Slayer Corps convening a Pillar and meeting to study the matter.

After all, there are only six Pillar-level powerhouses in the Demon Slayer Corps now. Even if you include those who have just retired or have retired for a long time, the number does not exceed two hands. What's more, Kanae Kocho is a top genius who created her own unique [Flower Breathing] through the [Water Breathing], one of the five common breathing methods used by the Demon Slayer Corps. In the thousand-year history of the Demon Slayer Corps, she is probably one of the top group of Pillar-level powerhouses except for the BUG-level powerhouse like Yoriichi Tsugakuni, and her talent and qualifications are both at the top level.

Of course, even if Kocho Kanae is only an ordinary Pillar-level warrior, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya would not look down on her. As the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, he is truly supported by almost everyone because he cherishes the contribution and experience of every member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Even if a swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps died in order to eliminate evil spirits, he would remember his name and his achievements, and even clean the tombstones of the sacrificed personnel every day.

In Neon, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's actions show that he attaches great importance to all members of the Demon Slayer Corps. This, coupled with his deep hatred for those rampant man-eating demons, is the most important reason why the Demon Slayer Corps is united around the current leader Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.

"My lord, what should we do now? Should we chase after that evil ghost? Check on the situation of Butterfly Kanae and the others?"

When Ubuyashiki Yoshiya finished telling the confirmed intelligence information, [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hiramatsu could no longer hold back. His eyes were filled with murderous intent and he asked for instructions from Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, wanting to go out immediately to kill the evil spirit that "killed" Kanae Kocho.

"Ahem, I have already sent people to conduct an on-site investigation, but the other party left directly through the forest last night. Even if we can send people to track them at dawn, it will take some time..."

Hearing the words of [Rock Pillar] Haimei Shima Gyomei, a trace of helplessness flashed in Ubuyashiki Yoya's eyes. He naturally knew that the relationship between [Rock Pillar] and [Flower Pillar] was like that of father and daughter, but tracking down evil spirits was something that could not be rushed.

Even though the evil spirits are restrained by the sunlight and the Nichirin Sword, the strength of powerful evil spirits should not be underestimated. For example, if the evil spirits hiding in the mountains and forests find places like caves, it will be difficult for the Demon Slayer Corps members to take them down. They need to patiently find the opponent's flaws before taking action. Moreover, the strength shown by "Evil Spirit Li Mo" has easily taken down Kanae Kocho, who is the [Flower Pillar]. Ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps and even ordinary Pillar-level powerhouses would probably just go up and offer themselves as meat.

Just as [Rock Pillar] Gyoumei Mizuki was about to ask if he could lead the team to chase the other party, [Snake Pillar] Iguro Obanai spoke slowly. His face was covered by a scarf, and his tone was a little low, but it attracted everyone's attention:

"Then, my lord, should we immediately dispatch other pillar-level warriors to join forces to chase after that evil ghost?"

Chapter 7 Dilemma and Decision

Several pillar-level warriors joined forces to chase that evil ghost?

After hearing the words of [Snake Pillar] Iguro Obanai, the other Pillar-level powerhouses, including [Rock Pillar] Haimei Shima, all looked at their lord Ubuyashiki Kōya. They had the same idea, but did not say it directly like [Snake Pillar] Iguro Obanai did.

Even the [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hiramashi, who had anger hidden in his heart, did not think of relying on his own strength alone and rashly chose to chase after the evil spirits that "killed" Kocho Kanae and the others!

Are you kidding? The pillar-level warriors of the Demon Slayer Corps are all strong men who have experienced life and death. None of them are fake. They all grew up fighting against ferocious demons. It is no exaggeration to say that they have experienced hundreds of battles. Naturally, they will not make any mistakes of underestimating the enemy. They know very well how difficult it is to deal with the demons that "killed" Kocho Kanae and others.

What the chief Uzumaki Yoya said just now was that the members of the Butterfly House headquarters witnessed it with their own eyes and the follow-up personnel went to the scene to determine the traces. They confirmed that the current strength of the "Evil Demon Li Mo" is very powerful. Even if the five Pillar-level powerhouses, such as Beiming Island Gyōmei, Uzui Tengen and Iguro Obanai, wanted to catch the trace of the "Evil Demon Li Mo" and wipe him out, they would not rush over alone. It is the best choice for several Pillar-level powerhouses to join forces.

Otherwise, if the encirclement and suppression fails and the enemy delivers meat to the door instead, wouldn’t that be a joke?

As the [Flower Pillar], Butterfly Kanae's strength should never be underestimated. Except for the strongest [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hirumi who is sure of victory, [Sound Pillar] Tengen Uzui and [Snake Pillar] Iguro Obanai are not sure of victory. As for the new [Flame Pillar] Rengoku Kyojuro and [Water Pillar] Tomioka Giyu, I am afraid they are not the opponents of [Flower Pillar] Butterfly Kanae.

After all, Rengoku Kyojuro and Tomioka Giyu both inherited the breathing method, but Kocho Kanae, Haimyou Gyomei, Uzui Tengen and Iguro Obanai modified and created the branch breathing method that suits them best. Compared with Rengoku Kyojuro and Tomioka Giyu, the difference between the two is the difference between a top student and a genius student. The former can only get 100 points in an exam, while the latter can only get 100 points on the paper. In the world of Demon Slayer, the creator of the branch breathing method has much more potential than the ordinary pillar-level powerhouses who inherit the breathing method.

For example, in the original anime plot of "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", Kanae Choucho, who is the "Flower Pillar", encountered Douma, the Upper Rank Two, and fought to the death. They fought from dusk until dawn before they were defeated. But at that time, Kanae Choucho was less than 18 years old, and it can be said that she still had a lot of room for improvement. If it were Rengoku Kyojuro or Tomioka Giyu, both of them might not be Douma's opponents.

Knowing the strength of [Flower Pillar] Kocho Kanae, even the strongest [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hirumi did not say that he would go to track her down alone. If things went wrong, it would be very easy for the Demon Slayer Corps to capsize, causing the Demon Slayer Corps to lose another rare Pillar-level powerhouse, and the Demon Slayer Corps would be at an even greater disadvantage!

"...It's very difficult. The whereabouts of 'Evil Ghost Li Mo' have not been found yet. Even if we gather several pillar-level masters, it will be difficult to find him for a while, not to mention that the blood ghost art ability he showed may be related to 'Wind'!"

Facing the question from [Snake Pillar] Iguro Obane and the looks from the other four pillar-level masters, Ubuyashiki Yoya showed a trace of embarrassment on his face, but he still informed the five pillar-level masters of the information he had sent people to investigate in the morning and his own speculation. He looked up at the five pillar-level masters of the Demon Slayer Corps in front of him and said helplessly: "The most important thing is that we are not only facing him, but other evil spirits are still wreaking havoc, not to mention the hidden demon king!"

If possible, Ubuyashiki Yoya also wanted to immediately destroy all the evil spirits, but this idea was just an idea at best. The real problem was that the number and quality of the evil spirits they faced were relatively strong, and the Demon Slayer Corps was at a disadvantage most of the time. If it weren't for the evil spirits being loose and disorganized, they would have been crushed long ago.

At present, the Demon Slayer Corps can barely limit the scope of the evil spirits' rampage and various news. The main reason is that on the one hand, the death of people in the current world is not a big news, and many cases of evil spirits eating people are blamed on wild beasts or bandits. Secondly, the Ubuyashiki family, as the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the priests who have been married for generations, have a huge potential influence in Japan. They have confused or quietly suppressed all kinds of news about evil spirits eating people. As for the actions of the ghost god Li Mo, the Demon Slayer Corps collected and judged completely based on the existing information, which naturally resulted in large errors.

According to the information received by Ubuyashiki Yoya, the wind and force brought by the punch of the demon god Li Mo were believed by the Demon Slayer Corps to be the effect of blood demon magic. And the information collected by the Demon Slayer Corps about the evil spirits who could use blood demon magic did show that there were indeed effects of fire, earth, ice and even other special supernatural powers. No normal person would think that it was a supernatural power system brought by a traveler from another world, so naturally the more they inferred, the more outrageous the mistake would be.

Even though the speculation about the ghost god Li Mo was completely unreliable, Ubuyashiki Yoya made a very prudent judgment. He did not directly refute and say that they would not pursue the ghost god Li Mo, but he showed the information and situation collected by the Demon Slayer Corps, which made several pillar-level powerhouses frown!

"My Lord, can't you find the trace of that evil ghost?"

Hearing what Ubuyashiki Yoshiya said, [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Gyomei was a little surprised. He looked at his lord and asked in a low voice. Uzui Tengen, who knew some of the situation, briefly introduced the special abilities of his lord Ubuyashiki Yoshiya to the other three pillar-level powerhouses.

To put it simply, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya himself inherited the family's curse for thousands of years, but because of this he also possessed some extraordinary power, that is, he has a certain ability to foresee the future, otherwise it would not be so easy for the Demon Slayer Corps to find suitable candidates to become Pillar-level strongmen. Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps with a heritage of more than a thousand years, has this special ability to foresee the future. In ancient Japan, he could even be treated as the son of God/the son of Buddha. Even in the so-called Taisho era now, it is very confusing.

You have to know that until Emperor Mai pointed the guns of American soldiers at reforms, all kinds of shoe cults were rampant in Japan in the 21st century. Not to mention the current Taisho era, Japan's atmosphere of feudal superstition is still very strong. For example, feudal remnants still prevail in many remote towns!

"My foresight is not always useful. It is mostly a vague revelation given by the gods. Otherwise, I would have found the ancestor ghost king who caused all the disasters long ago..."

In response to the inquiry from [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hiramatsu, Ubuyashiki Yoya seemed very calm and returned the key to the god whose existence was unknown. However, neither Gyōmei Hiramatsu nor other pillar-level powerhouses showed any contempt. Except for some sighs that they could not clearly track the traces of the evil spirits, they all respected their lord even more.

You said Ubuyashiki Yoya's ability to predict the future seems pretty useless?

This is purely based on the effect. In fact, the level of abilities like [prophecy] and [foreseeing the future] is too high. They are not common stuff in that world. Even in the dimensional world with gods and demons, the ability of prophecy is valued. An excellent prophet can even make future predictions that will amaze gods and demons by chance.

Looking at the world of Demon Slayer, it can be said to be close to the extraordinary world, but it is also a bit off. At least in Japan, apart from the Demon Slayer Corps' breathing techniques, the Nichirin Sword, wisteria flowers, and some rare and exotic objects found, there is no truly systematic inheritance of extraordinary powers. Even the mysterious priest system, the extraordinary combat power they inherited is not as good as that of the Demon Slayer Corps. For example, the extraordinary ability possessed by Ubuyashiki Kōya is actually a rare predictive ability in Japan.

Strictly speaking, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's ability to predict the future is actually very limited. He cannot control this ability himself, and it sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. The future situations he foresees are also different. Sometimes he can "see" certain future scenes that he doesn't want to see at all, and sometimes the future situations he "sees" bring him great benefits. For example, in the case of the [Rock Pillar] Gyūmei Hirumi, it was a future scene that Ubuyashiki Yoshiya foresaw, and he rescued him and became the current strongest Pillar-level warrior in the Demon Slayer Corps. One or two of the other Pillar-level warriors were also encountered in this way, or he found them on a whim.

Compared to Ubuyashiki Yoya's ability to predict the future, which was sometimes effective and sometimes not, his own leadership ability is very outstanding. His voice and the rhythm of his movements can make other people unconsciously impressed. In addition, he is very good at managing the Ubuyashiki family and the Demon Slayer Corps. It can be said that the Demon Slayer Corps has risen again after being replaced by the Neon Shogunate a few decades ago, and has developed very smoothly in the past decade.

It is precisely because of this that the entire Demon Slayer Corps is very convinced of Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's abilities. And Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's statement that his ability to predict the future is insufficient did not affect the several Pillar-level warriors at all. Instead, they felt that their lord was too humble!

"That's a pity. I don't know where the 'evil ghost' will escape to during these few nights, not to mention that more ordinary people may have been killed..."

Seeing Ubuyashiki Kayuya very frankly speaking about the shortcomings of his ability to predict the future, [Sound Pillar] Uzui Tengen sighed a little. He could not help but look up at the sunlit sky and spoke his true feelings, which made the other Pillar-level powerhouses and Ubuyashiki Kayuya look at each other in silence, not knowing how to continue this seemingly heavy topic.

There is no doubt that no one present, including the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Yoya Uzumaki, thought that Kocho Kanae and the others would survive. According to the information collected by the Demon Slayer Corps in the past, evil spirits do not appear during the day but wreak havoc at night. When the intelligent evil spirits are defeated by the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, they will not hesitate to run away. The previous performance of "Evil Spirit Li Mo" seemed harmless, but now it turns out that he is in big trouble.

Although the Demon Slayer Corps suffered no losses in its Chouya headquarters, and except for Kanae Chou, Shinobu Chou, and Kanae Kurika, the rest of the staff were intact except for a dozen or so who suffered minor minor injuries. But the "death" of Kanae Chou was enough to make Ubuyashiki Kōya feel particularly sad. She was a top genius who created the branch breathing method [Flower Breathing Method]. Even a hundred ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen could not match her combat power, not to mention there were two Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen with equally outstanding qualifications.

If possible, Ubuyashiki Yoya wanted to immediately summon the remaining five pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps to surround and kill the evil demon. However, as he said, the situation was difficult. If the Demon Slayer Corps wanted to quickly find an evil demon that was powerful and capable of action, it would definitely cost a lot of manpower and material resources. The most important thing was their luck and whether they could catch the clues when the other party's whereabouts were exposed.

Now, after hearing the words of [Sound Pillar] Uzui Tengen, Uzui could only hope to find that powerful and well-disguised evil spirit as soon as possible. Otherwise, not to mention the people like Kocho Kanae who had already been "sacrificed", there would be more people who would become the evil spirit's food!

"Ahem, we still have to do our best. Order all intelligence personnel to check the nearest towns and villages to see if there is any news of anyone mysteriously missing..."

After hesitating for only a few seconds, Ubuyashiki Yoya made a decision. He planned to mobilize all the intelligence personnel of the Demon Slayer Corps to search for this evil demon who might have the ability of camouflage and was very cunning. Otherwise, the "sacrifice" of Kanae Kocho and her two sisters would be unjustifiable, and even other people in the Demon Slayer Corps might have complaints.

"That's right!"

"If we receive the news, it would be better to gather at least three pillar-level fighters to join forces to kill the evil ghost!"

"I agree……"

After hearing the decision of their lord Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, Haimei Gyomei, Uzui Tengen, Iguro Obanai and others had no objections and expressed their agreement with the proposal. Even the two pillar-level strongmen, Tomioka Giyu and Rengoku Kyojuro, who were relatively unknown, agreed with the proposal.

Even Sadomasam Gyomei, who had the best relationship with Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu, suggested that at least three Pillar-level masters work together to surround and kill the evil demon. He was very aware of Kocho Kanae's talent and strength. Her outstanding talent enabled her to create a branch of the [Flower Breathing Technique]. Her strength was ranked in the top three in the Demon Slayer Corps. However, according to intelligence from the Chouya headquarters, Kocho Kanae had little ability to fight back against the evil demon.

With the status of [Rock Pillar] Gyoumei Hirame, he naturally knows the ranking of the levels among the demons. From ordinary demons - demons with blood demon arts - lower-rank demons - upper-rank demons - the original demon king, Kanae Kocho was promoted to [Flower Pillar] by killing a lower-rank demon, then wouldn't the demon that "killed" her be at least a lower-rank demon?

Even though a battle cannot be judged solely by the so-called data, but also by the on-the-spot performance of both sides in battle and whether they are restrained, the fighting effectiveness of the evil spirits cannot be denied, especially for the mortal swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. The super recovery ability of the evil spirits can be called a BUG. They may not die even if their limbs are chopped off or even cut in half. A swordsman of the Demon Slayer Corps will be dead if his limbs are cut off. However, according to reports from the Butterfly House headquarters, Kanae Kocho was easily defeated by the evil spirits in a head-on confrontation, so the opponent's strength is very terrifying.

Under such circumstances, if one rashly went alone to look for the trace of the ghost god Li Mo, any normal person would conclude that he was courting death. However, [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Xingming and the others were not fools, and naturally would not do such a move of hitting a rock with an egg. Otherwise, they would not propose that at least three Pillar-level masters should join forces to go out. The reason was that they were afraid that if only one Pillar-level master went out alone, he would be defeated. If three Pillar-level masters joined forces, they would at least have the certainty of retreating.

Of course, some people were worried that even if the three pillar-level strongmen joined forces, they might not be able to defeat the evil ghosts. How could the Demon Slayer Corps, whose mission is to hunt down those man-eating evil ghosts, do something that would destroy their own prestige? Even if someone knew the situation, they would not say it publicly!

"Well, everyone, please wait at the headquarters for a few days. Recently, a swordsman has created a branch called [Mist Breathing Technique]. You can take a look at it..."

Seeing that the five pillar-level masters had no objection and added some matters that he had not mentioned, a smile appeared on Ubuyashiki Yoya's face. Then he told a piece of good news he had received a few days ago, which also made the pillar-level masters such as Beiming Island Gyōmei, Uzui Tengen and Iguro Obanai all show a smile on their faces.

Whether it is the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Kōya, or these pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps, all they want is to strengthen the Demon Slayer Corps and eliminate those man-eating evil demons, especially those pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps. Of course, they believe in the current head, Ubuyashiki Kōya, but if they don't have a deep hatred for those man-eating evil demons, with the strength of the pillar-level powerhouses, they can do well in Japan and even in the world. Their own strength is their greatest confidence, and it should not be underestimated even in the era of hot weapons.

Ubuyashiki Yoya and those Pillar-level masters knew this very well, but none of them broke this window paper. The reason was that their family members, friends or close ones died at the hands of man-eating demons, and they were motivated by revenge. But now with the "death" of [Hana-Hiroshige] Kanae Kocho, a new talented swordsman can be promoted to a Pillar-level master, which is a good thing for the Demon Slayer Corps, and naturally makes everyone feel a little better.

However, Ubuyashiki Yoya and several other pillar-level masters did not know that the Kocho Kanae and her two sisters, who they thought had been "sacrificed", were still alive and well, and were living a pretty good life...

Chapter 8 Li Mo's Bad Taste

At the same time as the meeting of the Demon Slayer Corps' pillars began, in a small city a few hundred kilometers away, the demon god Li Mo was leisurely walking in the sun with Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho, and Kanae Kurika, and they were shopping.

Thanks to the transformation of [Yin Yang Escape], the shortcomings of the ghost bloodline that are afraid of sunlight, the Sun Blade and wisteria flowers have been eliminated. The ghost god Li Mo naturally doesn't care about the sunlight that is a disaster for evil ghosts. He has even retracted the golden and black ghost horns on his forehead, and arranged several [Fusion Seeds] for the key figures and other chess pieces in this small city, and then he enjoyed the VIP life.

On the street, more than a dozen bodyguards and servants dressed in Western style were surrounding the ghost Li Mo and his entourage. The pedestrians around could tell at a glance that they were big shots. As early as the long years before Neon, ordinary people knew that if they stood in front of warriors and nobles, they would be beheaded. Naturally, they respectfully avoided the ghost Li Mo and his entourage.

It should be known that during the Japanese shogunate and before, it was not a crime for samurai and nobles to kill civilians who offended them. Ordinary Japanese people had long learned over a long period of time to be extremely humble towards people they could not afford to offend.

Moreover, the ghost god Li Mo, who had retracted the pair of ghost horns on his forehead, was over 90 meters tall and wore a modern windbreaker made of [Yin Yang Escape]. He was so handsome that he didn't look like a human at all but a god, making ordinary people feel awe at the sight of him. Moreover, the three beautiful girls following behind him, each of them could score more than points according to the standard of the ghost god Li Mo. In Neon, they would probably be beauties picked from thousands or even tens of thousands of miles. Naturally, they attracted the attention of passers-by and the awe that rose in their hearts.

It should be said that if the members of the Demon Slayer Corps saw this scene, they would probably think that their eyes were blurry or that they had seen the wrong person. Otherwise, how could an evil demon who fears the sun walk around the street so brazenly? The three beautiful girls, Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho, and Kanae Kurika, who were thought to have been "sacrificed", followed the ghost Li Mo with slightly complicated expressions.

After all, the high-ranking members of the Demon Slayer Corps, such as Ubuyashiki Kōya and Haimei Islet, never thought that Kanae Kocho and the other two were not killed by the demon god Li Mo, and even merged with the core of the extraordinary power given by the other party and became subordinates trusted by the demon god Li Mo!

"Kaname Hui San, you go with Xiaonin and Kaname Hu and pick out some clothes you like!"

Seeing the envious and fearful eyes of passers-by around him, the ghost Li Mo leisurely asked the butler who led the team to a high-end clothing store. Looking at the so-called high-end clothing store that belonged to a street shop in a small county town in the future, he turned around and instructed the three beautiful girls behind him directly.

“Ah?! This…”

Hearing the words of the ghost Li Mo, Kanae Kocho, who was immersed in various thoughts in her heart, was suddenly awakened. She looked at the tall man in front of her with some surprise, who broke her impression of evil spirits. She didn't react for a while. Even Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kurika, the two beautiful girls, looked at the high-end clothing store in surprise, not knowing what the ghost Li Mo meant.

After all, Cricket only had more than thirty hours, and was mostly asleep and integrating the core of his extraordinary power. The three beautiful girls, Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho, and Kanae Kurika, really didn't understand the nature of the ghost Li Mo!

"Don't worry, I just want you to change your clothes, don't think too much!"

Facing the confused expressions of the three beautiful girls, the ghost Li Mo waved his hand to show his attitude, and then looked with interest at Butterfly Kanae and the others, who had completely integrated the supernatural power core and looked even more outstanding than before. He smiled and said to the three beautiful girls: "Otherwise, how about letting me help you choose clothes? If you don't object, we can choose in the clothing store..."

For the ghost Li Mo, he really didn't mind helping Butterfly Kanae and the others to choose clothes personally. Anyway, in Neon, girls as young as 13 or 4 could get married. Even though the marriage standard for women has been relaxed to 16 years old now, there would be no problem for Butterfly Kanae and the others. He didn't care at all.

Unfortunately, Kocho Kanae and the others cared very much about it. Whether it was Kocho Kanae or Kocho Shinobu, they both expressed their firm rejection at the first time. They pulled Kurika Ryokanao, who had a confused expression on her face, and went straight into the clothing store. They didn't want the ghost Li Mo to get involved at all. The reason was that including Kocho Kanae herself, they all knew very well that the other party could really do such a thing, and they were not so thick-skinned. Thinking about the absurd and embarrassing scene, they felt their faces burning.

The ghost god Li Mo watched the three beautiful girls enter the clothing store, smacked his lips with some regret, and leisurely signaled the housekeeper sent by the largest local family, and directly paid for a teahouse to wait. At the same time, he leisurely watched the surrounding street scenes. He gradually had a general understanding of the neon lights of the Demon Slayer world, instead of mechanically applying them by referring to the current history.

Now, Li Mo, the ghost god who has mastered the power, has the confidence to be a time traveler. Otherwise, according to his previous unlucky situation of becoming a ghost and being imprisoned by the Demon Slayer Corps, he would have been able to be a guinea pig until the end of the plot of Demon Slayer, and it would have been impossible for him to leisurely observe the situation in Neon!

……

It should be said that the ghost god Li Mo soon became disappointed with the situation of Neon towns in this era. Unlike the Neon in his real world, which was once the world's second largest economy, even though its economy had stagnated for more than 30 years, it still had a good foundation. The Neon in the Demon Slayer world was really disappointing.

The reason is very simple. The current Japan in the Demon Slayer world is in the Taisho era before World War II. At this time, Japan had just experienced the First World War, and finally paid off the debt it had borrowed from the Russian bear in the northern part of China. It even took advantage of the opportunity of the First World War to barely squeeze into the level of a semi-industrial country. However, the general situation of the Japanese people can only be said to be slightly better than that of China at that time.

In fact, it was not until two years ago that Japan stopped organizing the trafficking of large numbers of young girls and women to Southeast Asia to work as Nanyang sisters, due to the dividends from the First World War and the attention of various countries. In fact, when Japan was founded by the American black ships, its domestic gold and silver reserves were not enough, and it was a terrible situation where a poor guy wanted to industrialize. The Japanese top leaders used various means to raise money for education and industrialization, while severely exploiting ordinary farmers in their own country.

It is no exaggeration to say that if it were not for the victory in the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-1895, Japan would have successfully forced the Qing Dynasty to cede territory and pay indemnities, and occupied colonies such as the Korean Peninsula. Japan would not have had enough resources to popularize education and industrialize. However, even with the various poor performances of the Qing Dynasty and the Beiyang government, Japan successfully bit off the flesh and blood of the Celestial Empire and grew. In fact, Japan, which fought a war with the Russian bear, almost went bankrupt. Even with the dividends of the First World War, Japan's overall situation can only be said to have just escaped from the situation of being a pauper.

When the ghost Li Mo saw this small town, he suddenly felt as if he had walked into a small coastal town in China in the 1950s. Most of the pedestrians coming and going were wearing patched old clothes and had pale faces. Occasionally, there would be people wearing nice-quality clothes, who were all wealthy or at least government employees. There was even less to say about people wearing Western-style clothes. At this time, Neon had been thinking about "leaving Asia and joining Europe" since the founding of the country, and was almost crazy about it. However, Western-style clothes and goods were still not affordable for ordinary people. At least only people with a certain status could afford them.

The problem is, in the eyes of ordinary people in Japan, this small city with a population of tens of thousands at most seems to be relatively prosperous. But to the ghost Li Mo, who has witnessed the modern society and many grand scenes of the 21st century, this small city is slightly inferior to the towns he traveled through before. After all, the towns in China at that time already had asphalt roads, and the spirit of the villagers coming and going was not comparable to that of these citizens.

However, the ghost Li Mo had several thoughts in his mind, and after realizing his current time point, he had the idea of ​​making trouble in Neon. However, he did not act immediately, but secretly ordered the newly collected chess pieces to conduct an investigation!

"I, we have already changed our clothes..."

When the ghost god Li Mo was extremely bored and looking at the small town that was comparable to the poor towns in the Celestial Empire in the present world before he traveled through time, he was thinking about how to play a big game under the neon lights. Suddenly, he heard the shy voice of Butterfly Kanae. Then he turned around and saw the amazing scenery, which immediately diverted the ghost god Li Mo's attention.

It turned out that Kanae Kocho had finally chosen the clothes that suited herself, and she also chose new clothes for Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Kurika. Now the three beautiful girls have fully shown their more beautiful style!
