Facing the words of [Sound Pillar] Uzui Tengen, Ubuyashiki Yoya shook his head. He did not confirm what he said about not being able to kill evil spirits without the Nichirin Sword and Wisteria Flowers. He said something very carefully that made everyone nod in approval, and then expressed his own opinion: "In reality, we in the Demon Slayer Corps are very supportive of this kind of action to kill evil spirits. No matter if it is an individual or a mysterious force, as long as they hunt evil spirits, they can be regarded as objects of cooperation..."

Although, the only things that Neon has discovered to fight against evil spirits, besides the sunlight that can be seen every day, are the Sun Blade made of [Gorilla Scarlet Sand Iron] and the wisteria flowers, Ubuyashiki Yoya dare not say that these two things are the only things in the world that can restrain evil spirits. That is obviously difficult to say.

To be more precise, the only things that the Demon Slayer Corps found during the thousand years in Japan that can be used to hunt down evil spirits are the [Nichirin Sword] made of [Gorilla Scarlet Sand Iron] and the [Wisteria Flower] which can expel evil spirits. However, no one can say for sure that Japan has no other things that can hunt down evil spirits, and there is nothing in the world that can cause harm to evil spirits except these two things. The only things that are certain to kill evil spirits are the [Nichirin Sword] and the [Wisteria Flower] which can drive away or even poison evil spirits.

Even Ubuyashiki Yoya himself is not sure that there is nothing else in the world that can harm evil spirits. You know, before the discovery of the Sunflower Sword and wisteria flowers, many people believed that only the sunlight of Amaterasu could destroy evil spirits. Later, they were killed by the Sunflower Sword or expelled with wisteria flowers. So it seems reasonable that there are new discoveries or other countries have things that can harm evil spirits.

Anyway, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya's guess made several pillar-level strongmen nod in agreement with his judgment. They were able to achieve their current powerful strength, so they were naturally not stubborn people and would not dwell on this issue.

"Master, how can we find that hidden mysterious person or force?"

After Ubuyashiki Yoshiya finished speaking, [Flame Pillar] Rengoku Kyojuro raised another question. The remaining five Pillar-level masters obviously had no good ideas for this question, and they all looked at their lord to see how to solve it.

"As for this question, I think I can give it a try..."

In response to the words of [Flame Pillar] Rengoku Kyojuro, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya nodded slightly to show his approval, and there was a hint of expectation on his seemingly weak face. He was naturally very concerned about this issue. Moreover, the omen he got from [Apocalypse] was that if he seized this opportunity, he could successfully resolve the problem of Demon King Kibuti Muzan and completely put an end to the cursed misfortune that the Ubuyashiki family had suffered for thousands of years.

When Ubuyashiki Yoya opened his mouth slowly and told about the arrangements he was going to make, the [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Gyomei's expression became a little strange, while the other pillar-level powerhouses had different thoughts in their minds, but they knew that the master of [Apocalypse] would not do anything irrelevant!

……

"Lord Xingming of Beiming Island, are you really planning to go to Kyushu?"

Later, looking at the [Rock Pillar] Hiei no Kyoumei walking out of the headquarters, obviously going on a long journey with two members of the Demon Slayer Corps, the [Flame Pillar] Rengoku Kyojuro, who had a good relationship with him, was a little hesitant and couldn't help but ask him in a low voice.

As the [Flame Pillar] Rengoku Kyojuro who was newly promoted a few years ago, he didn't know why the lord didn't let anyone else go, but just let [Rock Pillar] Haimei Gyomei take two logistics members to Kyushu, and said that they didn't need to fight along the way and just need to keep a normal mind. He didn't even say much about the target location, but only required them to stay in Kyushu for at least three months. If the lord Ubuyashiki Yoshiya hadn't asked for it himself, if it was an ordinary person who said this, it would have been considered nonsense.

No matter how you look at it, if [Rock Pillar] Gyomei Sadomasushima goes to Kyushu like this, it seems more like a trip to relax. If it weren't for the fact that pillar-level strongmen are not jealous, ordinary people would definitely think that there is some unknown secret!

"Amitabha, this is the decision of the Lord. He may have seen more things. If I go to Kyushu, I may be able to find clues about the mysterious man..."

Hearing the kind inquiry from [Flame Pillar] Rengoku Kyojuro, [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Gyomei, who had been keeping his hands clasped together and silently reciting Buddhist scriptures, opened his mouth and shouted the Buddha's name. However, he had no doubts about the decision made by the leader. Even the two logistics members following behind him were stunned by his tone and had no objections.

"That's true~!"

Facing the words of [Rock Pillar] Gyomei Hyūmei, Rengoku Kyojuro, who was a direct member of the Demon Slayer Corps, also nodded. His father was the previous [Flame Pillar] and he had a good relationship with [Rock Pillar] Gyomei Hyūmei. His own talent and qualifications were also very outstanding, so he succeeded the [Flame Pillar] to prove himself.

In this regard, the Demon Slayer Corps truly implements the convention of promoting the capable. After all, those man-eating evil spirits don't care about your family status or origin, nor do they care whether you have any distinguished relatives. A Pillar-level strongman has to kill fifty evil spirits or one Lower-rank demon to be qualified, and those are all ferocious evil spirits that have to be conquered by the Pillar-level strongmen in person. It doesn't mean that you can occupy a high position in the Demon Slayer Corps just by relying on your bloodline or origin.

Even though he was the son of the previous [Flame Pillar], Rengoku Kyojuro hunted those evil spirits himself and successfully killed more than fifty evil spirits to prove himself, and only then was he promoted to the new [Flame Pillar]. Otherwise, the Demon Slayer Corps would not look at him differently just based on his identity as the descendant of the previous [Flame Pillar]. Let alone killing fifty evil spirits. Those ordinary evil spirits would be easy to deal with, but if a Pillar-level strongman did not know the specific situation of the evil spirits who knew blood demon arts, he might accidentally fall into trouble.

As the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, his abilities are also enough to impress these Pillar-level masters, otherwise these powerful Pillar-level masters might still stay in the Demon Slayer Corps, but expecting them to obey an incompetent person is also a dream, instead of like now, the six Pillar-level masters including the [Rock Pillar] himself, all have absolute trust in Ubuyashiki Yoshiya.

After separating from the Rock Pillar, Gyoumei Hiramura, Rengoku Kyojuro saw him leave the headquarters with two members of the Demon Slayer Corps' logistics team, riding in a carriage specially arranged by the leader, and gradually disappearing from his sight...

Chapter 36: Acquaintances and Invitations

Ten days later, Nagasaki City on Kyushu Island

As a port city that will become extremely famous throughout the world more than 30 years from now due to the power of the mushroom eggs dropped by America's godfather, Nagasaki is not as lucky as Hiroshima to taste the ultimate weapon of mankind.

Now, as a very famous overseas trading city in Japan, Nagasaki certainly has a certain reputation in Japan, China and even the Peninsula, but it is certainly impossible to be comparable to the only two cities that were later used as the sites of actual nuclear explosions. Moreover, if it were a normal person, I am afraid that few people would like this kind of fame for being hit by mushroom eggs. However, no indigenous people of the Demon Slayer world know about this now.

As one of the few ports open to the outside world during the Japanese shogunate period and the era of national isolation, Nagasaki was a transportation hub city with a very developed maritime trade. England, France, the Netherlands, China and the Peninsula all traded through it. After Japan was founded by America's black ships, Nagasaki became the largest seaport city on Kyushu Island and quickly opened up overseas trade channels. It was a densely populated port trading city, where a large amount of goods and wealth gathered.

For the ghost Li Mo, he took Butterfly Kanae and the others away, and did not return to Honshu Island or Tokyo but went to Kyushu Island. The reason was that he was going to take a look at the places he had prepared as backup, such as the long-famous city of Nagasaki. Naturally, he came here to pay his respects to the situation and, by the way, to sigh at the city of Nagasaki, which would become world-famous in the future.

After all, before the ghost Li Mo traveled through time, he was gloating over Nagasaki and Hiroshima, the only two Japanese cities in the world that ate mushroom eggs. Anyway, from his own point of view, few people in Japan during World War II could be called innocent. The comment "There are no innocent souls under the mushroom eggs" shows how most people in China feel about Japan's actions in World War II. The so-called nonsense about civilians being innocent is purely a choice to ignore the attitude of ordinary people in Japan, who fanatically support victory in the war.

In order to really make people reflect on war, both sides have to shed enough blood and everyone has to feel the harm caused by the war. Only then will it be possible to reflect enough after the war ends. For example, if Japan had not surrendered after being barbecued by Li Mei and hit by two mushroom bombs, it would probably not have reflected on the war at all. Even if it did reflect on the war, Japan would reflect on its defeat in a unique way instead of reflecting on why it started the war.

Now, the ghost Li Mo did not bother about those tricks. He looked at the streets of Nagasaki, which seemed more prosperous than other cities of the same size in Japan. He thought silently in his heart how long it would take for the big plan he had prepared to be launched!

"Mo, what do you think of this decoration?"

When the ghost Li Mo was a little distracted, Shinobu Kocho, who was strolling and shopping on the commercial street, ran up to him excitedly with a piece of European-style silver jewelry and asked her man expectantly.

"Well, it's a very nice headdress. It suits Shinobu very well~!"

Seeing Shinobu Kocho's big, twinkling eyes and her cute, expectant look, the ghost Li Mo, who knew how to respond, praised her directly. He put the European-style silver ornament on the girl's forehead, and then admired and praised her. When Shinobu Kocho was in high spirits, he looked at Kanae Kocho beside him and said directly: "Kaname, you should buy a few pieces too. Kanae and Mitsuri also need them. Don't worry about the cost..."

Well, the ghost god Li Mo really doesn't care about spending money. The various Neon forces he controls combined have occupied two-thirds of the entire Neon power territory, and the wealth he possesses has reached an astonishing number. He really doesn't care about Cricket's few accessories at all, and even hopes that Butterfly Kanae and the others will have a good look around and do some shopping.

After all, the ghost god Li Mo is very tolerant towards his women. In his eyes, buying some small accessories or souvenirs is not a big deal at all. He even encourages Kanae Kocho and the others to buy some accessories, clothes or souvenirs. If the development of the Demon Slayer world has not reached that level yet, he would not even mind taking a few beautiful girls to a swimwear store or a lingerie store to carefully choose some things that can add to the interest of the couple. But now he can only do it himself and doesn't expect to buy these things at all.

However, what the ghost god Li Mo did not pay much attention to was that when he was having an intimate conversation with Butterfly Kanae and Butterfly Shinobu, at another corner of the street less than 50 meters away, a tall figure wearing a bamboo hat and holding Buddhist beads appeared. He looked like a monk, but he was accompanied by two followers. However, when the ghost god Li Mo and Butterfly Shinobu were talking, he suddenly stopped and turned to look at the ghost god Li Mo and his group in disbelief.

When the tall monk-like man turned around and was surprised to see Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu, the [Rock Pillar] Beiming Island Gyoumei, who had just run from Fukuoka to Nagasaki as he had planned, said in disbelief:

"Eh? Wait a minute, you are... Kanae-chan and Shinobu-chan?!"

……

Later, at a manor located on the outskirts of Nagasaki City, [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hirumi and two logistics personnel of the Demon Slayer Corps looked speechlessly at the fully armed elite soldiers guarding the manor, and couldn't help but have all kinds of speculations in their hearts.

It has to be said that the ghost god Li Mo has spent a lot of money in the past two months to arrange the various forces under his control. For example, this group of elite soldiers guarding the manor are uniformly equipped with weapons such as MP18 submachine guns, MG15 light machine guns and mortars of the Second Prussian Empire. The reason is that this batch of weapons belonged to the reserves of the defeated Second Prussian Empire and was arranged by the ghost god Li Mo to be purchased and equipped to the elite soldiers under his command.

It's hard to describe the development of infantry light weapons in Japan. Just look at the Nambu pistol, Type 24 light machine gun and Type 100 submachine gun that were used during World War II. It's a dream to expect them to develop good weapons more than ten years in advance. It would be better to use the excellent weapons from the First World War. The equipment that the ghost Li Mo arranged to buy can be said to be the standard equipment of the Storm Troopers of the Second Prussian Empire. It was not backward assault infantry equipment even in the early days of World War II.

As the [Rock Pillar] of the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Hiramui, he certainly did not recognize the equipment of those elite soldiers, but everyone is not a fool. The reason why the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps hide their identities is not because few of them can withstand the concentrated fire of guns. Even a few Pillar-level powerhouses might be killed by the concentrated fire of a team of soldiers at a long distance. What's more, looking at the hundreds of elite soldiers surrounding the manor, anyone with a normal IQ would be very calm.

What's more, the existence of the ghost god Li Mo made the [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Xingming feel an unprecedented sign of danger, but at this moment, he did not say anything, and followed the ghost god Li Mo and his party directly into this manor!

"Mr. Rock Pillar, what brings you to Nagasaki?"

Looking at the [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Gyomei sitting in front of him, the ghost Li Mo was curious about why the other party came to Nagasaki. He signaled the servants around him to serve tea and snacks, then looked at the other party with some confusion and directly asked his questions.

As for why the other party recognized Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho?

The answer to this question is very simple. [Rock Pillar] Gyomei Sadomasam is the one who once saved Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho, and he also led the two sisters to join the Demon Slayer Corps. It can be said that he is definitely the Pillar-level powerhouse who knows Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho best. It is not surprising that he can recognize each other when they are not far apart now.

After all, the world of Demon Slayer is at least close to the extraordinary world. People with extraordinary talents are rare but not impossible to see. You see, the sense of smell of the "head pillar" Tanjiro Kamado has even exceeded the definition of smell. He can distinguish people's emotions through smells, and can also distinguish between humans and demons. And these pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps, each one of them can be considered to have extraordinary talents. It's just that many people show it directly in the physical aspect, some show it in their own qualifications, and some are simply practical geniuses in combat.

In fact, [Rock Pillar] Gyomei Hyūna is such a top genius with extraordinary talent. Not only does he have innate divine power but also has an extremely amazing battle awareness. After joining the Demon Slayer Corps and obtaining the [Rock Breathing Technique], one of the five basic breathing methods that suits him very well, it can be said that he became the strongest trump card of the Demon Slayer Corps in just a few years. Even now, among the six pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps, he is still the strongest one ranked NO.1.

For an extraordinary swordsman like this who is about to enter the stage of transformation of his life essence, it is really not easy to recognize people he is familiar with. Even if the life essence of Kanae Kocho and Shinobu Kocho has already transformed, they can still be recognized by people who are familiar with them!

"…How should I address you, Your Excellency? Should I address you as Li Mo?"

After hearing what the Devil God Li Mo said, [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Xingming was silent for several seconds. This tall and burly pillar-level expert looked at the Devil God Li Mo and Butterfly Kanae with a complicated expression, and directly asked a question hidden in his heart. Then he looked directly at the Devil God Li Mo sitting in the center and frankly stated the purpose of his trip: "In addition, I came to Kyushu Island on the order of the Lord to find the mysterious strong man who killed the evil spirits. It should be you, right?!"

When Beimingyu Xingming asked the first question, he already knew from the expressions of the two sisters, Kocho Kanae and Kocho Shinobu, that his guess was completely correct. The man who gave him a strong sense of danger was actually the evil ghost who had imprisoned the Butterfly House.

Previously, the demon Li Mo broke out of the cage and abducted three beautiful girls, Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho, and Kanae Kurika. When the news reached the Demon Slayer Corps, no one thought that the three beautiful girls could survive. This was different from the fact that the Demon Slayer Corps had seen many demons who thought they could remain sane, but ended up turning into evil demons that devoured human flesh and blood and even relatives and friends.

However, Beimingyu Xingming felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge. He actually saw that Butterfly Kanae and the others were still alive, and their situation seemed to be very good. Even this man was walking in the sun with a swagger. What was going on?

It can be said that as one of the pillar-level strongmen of the Demon Slayer Corps, the [Rock Pillar], Gyomei Hirame has seen many different kinds of evil spirits. Even though they were lower-rank demons, he has killed more than one, and he has killed many evil spirits that knew strange blood demon arts. This includes upper-rank demons and even the legendary demon kings. No demon can act openly in broad daylight. No matter how strong it is, it will be turned into ashes directly.

This is the consensus of Beimingyu Xingming and countless swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps. The sun is the absolute nemesis of evil spirits. However, looking at the ghost god Li Mo who is less than ten meters away, Beimingyu Xingming feels that his understanding of evil spirits has been greatly challenged. He just saw the suspected evil spirit taking Kocho Kanae and the others to stroll in the commercial street and even shop under the sun, and now they are living in this large manor. It is obviously not an ordinary situation. Few people would believe that the other party is an evil spirit.

The most important thing is that including Kocho Kanae and the others and the elite soldiers around them, Kocho Yukimei did not feel the stench of the evil spirits. That is something that normal people cannot smell, but only the swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps who often fight against evil spirits can smell. It is a smell similar to the stench of rotting human flesh and blood. Kocho Yukimei did not feel this at all. With the eye signal from Kocho Kanae, he made a tentative statement and then got back to the point.

That's right, as the [Rock Pillar] of the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Beimei of Beimeijima naturally has to fulfill his will as the leader, and he is now even 80% sure in his heart that the demon Li Mo and his group are the targets he is looking for, and it is nothing more than the final confirmation.

"I see. Then I can talk to you..."

Faced with the straightforward words of [Rock Pillar] Gyomei Hirame, the ghost Li Mo looked at him in surprise. Although he did not think that the Demon Slayer Corps was unable to detect him, it was interesting that they acted so decisively and happened to meet him in Nagasaki.

If the Demon Slayer Corps were unable to even discover that the activities of evil spirits had obviously decreased and that multiple evil spirit targets had been eliminated in advance, the ghost god Li Mo would doubt why the Demon Slayer Corps had been able to survive for a thousand years. You must know that at the end of the chaotic Neon Warring States period, the Demon King Kibutsuji Muzan recovered from the severe psychological trauma caused by Tsugikuni Yoriichi, but regarded the [Sun Breathing Technique] passed down by the Demon Slayer Corps as something that must be destroyed. However, the Demon Slayer Corps still survived with difficulty and only gradually recovered later.

Judging from the current situation, apart from feeling a little interested in how the Demon Slayer Corps happened to meet him, the ghost Li Mo seemed indifferent to other aspects. If it weren't for Kanae Kocho and the others secretly looking at him with pleading eyes, he might not have been interested in continuing chatting with Beimingyu Xingmei!

……

"Mo, I'm sorry for bothering you just now..."

Later, watching the [Rock Pillar] Hirame Gyomei taking two familiar Demon Slayer Corps logistics personnel to stay temporarily in the guest rooms of the manor, and Kocho Kanae, who went forward to help but did not reveal any more information, felt a little uncomfortable facing her man. However, she still approached the demon god Li Mo intimately, enjoying the intimacy with her lover while whispering thanks to the demon god Li Mo.

Kanae Kocho knew that if he didn't consider his own and his two younger sisters' face, the demon god Li Mo, who had no major ties with the Demon Slayer Corps, would not necessarily give face to [Rock Pillar] Gyōmei Hirame, let alone directly agree to go to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters with him!

"That's not a problem. I was planning to go to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters!"

Seeing Butterfly Kanae's apologetic look, the ghost god Li Mo reached out and gently brushed her hair, then hugged the beauty and kissed her. Then, when Butterfly Kanae was about to gasp for breath, he let go and said with interest: "After all, I am still interested in the abilities and bloodline of the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. That is a bloodline directly related to the Demon King, but I don't know whether it is an ability brought by the curse or for other reasons..."

Actually, the ghost god Li Mo no longer has much interest in the Demon Slayer Corps. He has mastered several mature supernatural power systems, and he also has many selves in the [White Mist Space] that continuously bring him new knowledge and power. In his eyes, the Cricket Demon Slayer Corps' breathing techniques and the Nichirin Swords are not as attractive as the bloodline of the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

To be honest, when the demon Li Mo was negotiating with the [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Gyomei just now, he was able to keenly feel the other party's general emotional fluctuations. For example, when he directly asked why the other party happened to come to Nagasaki, the other party's mood felt like it verified his guess. The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoya, might really have a certain ability to predict. Even if the other party used this ability very poorly, he is not a strong man like the demon Li Mo. For ordinary people and even some gifted people, he can be completely fooled by a charlatan.

What's more, the ghost god Li Mo knew that Ubuyashiki Yoya and the Ubuyashiki family were actually the descendants of the ghost king Muzan Kibutsuji. However, after Muzan Kibutsuji became the ancestor of ghosts, the Ubuyashiki family was cursed and all the family members could not live past the age of twenty, and many babies even died. Later, they intermarried with the women of the Shinto priest lineage and barely reduced the age limit to thirty. But they seemed to have gained a certain extraordinary predictive power because of this.

Under such circumstances, it would be nonsense to say that the ghost god Li Mo has no interest in the Ubuyashiki family at all. However, he was busy with his own big plan before, and he had killed many evil ghosts. Now with the arrival of [Rock Pillar] Beimingyu Gyomei, his attention was shifted to the Ubuyashiki family!

Chapter 37: Finally meeting (Happy Dragon Boat Festival everyone!)

The ghost god Li Mo openly told Butterfly Kanae and the others about his interest in the bloodline and abilities of the Ubuyashiki family. However, this did not prevent the three Butterfly sisters from feeling grateful to the ghost god Li Mo.

Unlike Mitsuri Kanroji who has nothing to do with the Demon Slayer Corps and is completely uninterested in it, the three beautiful girls, Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho, and Kanae Kurika, were all rescued and raised by the Demon Slayer Corps. It can be said that they have spent a large part of their lives in the Demon Slayer Corps. It is impossible to say that they have no feelings for the Demon Slayer Corps. It can even be said that the Butterfly sisters have a deep connection with the Demon Slayer Corps.

After all, Kocho Kanae, Kocho Shinobu, and Kurika Ryokan are not immortals who are detached from the world. They always have friends and good friends they knew in the Demon Slayer Corps, such as the [Rock Pillar] Gyomei Hiramashima, not to mention he is the savior of the Butterfly sisters. The two logistics personnel who followed them are also acquaintances they know.

Previously, Kanae Kocho and the others were influenced by the core of the supernatural power and considered their men's position as their first priority. In addition, the ghost god Li Mo had no intention of taking action against the Demon Slayer Corps, so naturally they would not have any contact with the Demon Slayer Corps.

Otherwise, do you think that if Kanae Kocho was caught, she wouldn't consider how to escape?

Even an ordinary person, when caught by robbers, would try to escape from the predicament. If Kanae Kocho, who has a gentle personality but appears very patient, had given up so easily, the original novel would not have ended with her dying in battle.

It should be noted that before the official plot timeline of the original "Demon Slayer" began, Kanae Kocho encountered the Akuma Douma in the middle of the night. Despite being outnumbered by the opponent, she was eventually killed by the blood demon technique that froze her internal organs, but she successfully dragged the Akuma Douma until dawn, forcing the second upper-rank demon to give up and not eat the prey she had targeted this time.

According to the standards of the Demon Slayer Corps, any Upper-rank evil spirit requires the joint efforts of at least three Pillar-level warriors, not to mention the first three Upper-rank evil spirits that are out of standard. Only a Pillar-level warrior who has activated [Markings] and mastered powerful means such as [Red Blade] can have a one-on-one duel with an Upper-rank evil spirit. The first three Upper-rank evil spirits are likely to be outnumbered alone.

Of course, if you were a nearly BUG-level existence like Tsugumi Yoriichi, it would be a piece of cake to solo the Twelve Kizuki or even the Demon King. However, there is only one Tsugumi Yoriichi in the world of Demon Slayer. If another Tsugumi Yoriichi really appeared, the evil demon side would have been declared defeated long ago, unless the scumbag boss Kibutsuji Muzan pulls the tactic of escaping again and then outlasting the opponent. However, Kocho Kanae is not Tsugumi Yoriichi. What she can't let go of until her death is the situation of her two sisters.

Even if she met her savior Beimingyu Xingming, without the tacit consent of the ghost god Li Mo, the clever Butterfly Kanae knew that even if she pleaded again, she might not be recognized by the ghost god Li Mo, let alone agree to go to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters very readily. Even if she was interested in the bloodline and abilities of the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, the mysterious methods of the ghost god Li Mo were enough to easily defeat the Demon Slayer Corps head-on.

Knowing that the ghost god Li Mo cares and is considerate of her and others, Kanae Kocho hugged her man's arm very gently, and then prepared to stay with her man and go to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps again in a few days!

………………

Ten days later, at the gate of the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters manor, the demon god Li Mo and his group, who had just arrived by carriage, saw Ubuyashiki Yoya and a group of Demon Slayer Corps members who were waiting at the gate to greet them. It was obvious that they came to welcome the demon god Li Mo and his group.

Seeing the arrival of Demon God Li Mo and his group, Ubuyashiki Yoya and several Pillar-level powerhouses all had different expressions, but the Demon Slayer Corps members were even more nervous. The reason was that in addition to Demon God Li Mo and Butterfly Kanae and others, there were more than fifty elite soldiers serving as guards. These elite soldiers armed with submachine guns, light machine guns and sniper rifles could easily be used to attack the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

After all, compared to evil spirits who rely on their bodies or blood demon arts, humans are truly exceptionally talented in killing their own kind. Those elite soldiers are holding killing weapons that were born from slaughtering tens of thousands of soldiers. If they open fire head-on, except for a very small number of pillar-level powerhouses, the other swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps will be turned into sieves at the first sight. Moreover, the elite soldiers are equipped not only with weapons for fighting against humans, but also with those brutal weapons used to deal with evil spirits if necessary.

For example, flamethrowers from the just-ended World War I, shotguns and light machine guns equipped with special bullets, sniper rifles equipped with armor-piercing bullets, special grenades containing phosphorus, and so on. In short, many of those equipments were on the list of prohibited weapons, which shows how much damage these things caused to the soldiers of World War I. And when used against ordinary evil spirits, they can make them regret their super recovery ability.

However, the ghost god Li Mo had no intention of dealing with the Demon Slayer Corps. He brought these elite soldiers as guards, more of a psychological advantage. Didn't he see that the eyes of all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps looking at him have become respectful and even awe-inspiring?

"Welcome Mr. Li Mo. I am the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, Uzumaki Yoshiya. This is my wife, and several pillar-level masters of the Demon Slayer Corps..."

Seeing the ghost god Li Mo waving his hand, those soldiers who knew they were elite troops stood in line tacitly. Instead of following the ghost god Li Mo and his companions directly, Ubuyashiki Yoya stepped forward tactfully and introduced himself to the ghost god Li Mo.

Not only was Ubuyashiki Kōya very polite, but several pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps were also very polite. Even the [Sound Pillar] Uzui Tengen, who used to speak inappropriately to outsiders, saluted to the demon god Li Mo with a serious expression. The reason why they were so polite was naturally very simple. Not to mention the omen of the demon god Li Mo that made them feel extremely dangerous, just the dozens of fully armed elite soldiers alone were enough to make people tremble with fear.

If cold weapons were enough to defeat modern armies, Japan's Southwest War would have allowed the old samurai to make a comeback long ago, instead of being in the impoverished situation they are now. Most of the old samurai have lost their former lands and power. It's just that they have no ability to fight back against modern weapons!

"Mr. Ubuyashiki Yoya, I think we don't need to waste time!"

After a brief self-introduction, he followed the other party into the courtyard of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters. The ghost god Li Mo looked at this exquisite and elegant courtyard and the six pillar-level strongmen who were only in the courtyard. He did not waste time on greetings and nonsense, but went straight to the point: "Now, it's better to talk about something we are more concerned about... For example, why did you invite me to meet you at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters?"

Naturally, the ghost Li Mo was unwilling to waste time on witty remarks, but the situation in Neon was hard to describe. The higher the level, the more likely they were to speak in vague terms, and they even came up with special terms such as "ventriloquism", which was enough to show that they complicated things or were unwilling to take responsibility for the decisions they made.

What's more, the ghost god Li Mo didn't think that the Demon Slayer Corps had no idea about him. He learned about it through the forces under his command. The Demon Slayer Corps had carefully tested the details of his forces. Moreover, he had just turned into an evil ghost and was imprisoned in the Butterfly House, and the Demon Slayer Corps had conducted an investigation.

It's just that the ghost Li Mo himself came here in a daze at the beginning, and he didn't even know that he was copied N times and traveled to different worlds. The Demon Slayer Corps naturally didn't know about it either, and after an investigation that yielded no results, they just ignored it.

After all, Japan in the Taisho era was not like Japan during World War II, when domestic control was extremely strict for the purpose of conscription and food collection. Although there were not many foreign personnel at that time, they were not uncommon. The Demon Slayer Corps did not dig deep into the history of an ordinary foreigner who had turned into an evil demon. After making sure that no one else had seen the ghost Li Mo at that time, they just marked him with a foreign identity and recorded him.

But just when the ghost Li Mo had just escaped from the Butterfly House and abducted the three sisters of Butterfly Kanae, the Demon Slayer Corps was collecting information about the ghost Li Mo again, trying to find his whereabouts while preparing to find his origins. However, the actions of the ghost Li Mo were beyond their expectations. They never thought that there was a Li Mo who was not afraid of the sun and could transform into a ghost. Naturally, it was impossible for the Demon Slayer Corps to find him. Even if they carefully searched for his origins, it would be a waste of effort.

Compared to the Demon Slayer Corps' lack of knowledge about the ghost god Li Mo, the information about Kanae Kocho and the others is much clearer. However, the Demon Slayer Corps had previously thought that the three beautiful girls had been killed, so naturally they did not pay too much attention to this aspect. Sending forces to look for them was at most a search for a slim hope.

It can be said that there is no need for the Demon God Li Mo and the Demon Slayer Corps to waste time with each other. The Demon God Li Mo himself does not care about any details at all. Besides, if he makes a request later, I am afraid that except Ubuyashiki Yoya and the six pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps, everyone will be unhappy. It is a waste of time and energy to establish a good relationship now. Moreover, the Demon God Li Mo also has ideas about the Shintoism that is married to the Ubuyashiki family. If he does something bad at that time, it will be even more embarrassing.

As for the Demon Slayer Corps, what they think is none of the ghost Li Mo's business. He certainly has no intention of blaming the Demon Slayer Corps, but anyone who says that he doesn't feel a little uncomfortable with the Demon Slayer Corps for turning into evil spirits and imprisoning him is probably deceiving himself. Moreover, if the Demon Slayer Corps really don't know what's good for them, the ghost Li Mo will definitely not show mercy. At most, he will let some people go for the sake of Kanae Kocho.

Therefore, the ghost Li Mo does not care about the attitude of the Demon Slayer Corps at all. He went to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to give face to Kanae Kocho and the others. It doesn't mean that he feels he has to be humble. He just made his position clear!

"In that case, I'll just say it bluntly..."

Hearing the straightforward words of the ghost god Li Mo, the six pillar-level strongmen of the Demon Slayer Corps looked surprised but did not speak. The reason was that Ubuyashiki Yoshiya was the leader, and as the person in charge, he nodded without hesitation and spoke.

If it were an ordinary person, or those guys in high positions in Japan, after hearing such straightforward words from the ghost god Li Mo, there is a high probability that they would immediately turn hostile or simply become hostile. However, for Ubuyashiki Yoya, the cold attitude of the ghost god Li Mo was not the point. The point was that the trend he felt with his ability of [Apocalypse] was that the other party might be able to solve the thousand-year curse of the Ubuyashiki family.

As for the Demon Slayer Corps and the Ubuyashiki family, the ghost god Li Mo knew more about the plot of the original anime "Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba", and had not personally experienced the terrible consequences of a family bearing a curse for a thousand years. The terrible curse that each generation could not live beyond the age of thirty made the Ubuyashiki family not only sparsely populated, but also the head of the Ubuyashiki family and the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps in each generation, when they saw themselves and their clansmen suffering from the curse and dying tragically, they wanted to lift the curse at all costs.

As the current head of the Ubuyashiki family and the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoya has the same determination. Even if he can endure the terrible curse of rapid physical decline and gradual death, looking at his wife and children, he will never be willing to let his descendants suffer the same fate. Like all previous family heads, he will support the Demon Slayer Corps at all costs to kill the evil spirits that appear.

Therefore, Ubuyashiki Yoya did not care about the attitude of the ghost Li Mo. He was also very tactful and did not mention the matters of Kocho Kanae and the others. Instead, he very seriously told them about the thousand-year entanglement between the Demon Slayer Corps and the evil spirits!
