"There are four other people, so why did they split up? And what was the plan that woman mentioned?"
As I spoke of being tired, a sense of foreboding welled up inside me.
Lei felt that the five pillars who came to Natagumo Mountain this time were different from the demon slayers who had broken into this place before.
Just as Lei frowned, the other members of the Spider Demons in the room couldn't help but feel a chill run down their spines, an overwhelming sense of fear welling up from the bottom of their hearts.
Lei watched this unfold, his brow furrowing even deeper. He spoke without a trace of joy or sorrow, "Are you afraid of me? Why are you afraid of me? Aren't we family?"
Upon hearing this, the mother ghost trembled, then forced a smile and said, "Yes, we're family, how could I be afraid of tiring you out?"
Seeing this, Lei took a deep look at the mother ghost who was trembling uncontrollably.
That one glance allowed the mother ghost to see the abyss and death.
Fortunately, Lei only glanced at it before looking away and did not delve into the matter further. Instead, he turned to the family members in front of him and said, "I will give you the coordinates. You will each go here to intercept any intruding demon hunters."
After telling the coordinates to the mother ghost, sister ghost, and father ghost present, Rui got up and headed to his coordinates, leaving behind a cold remark: "Remember, I don't want anyone to break the bonds between our families."
The three ghosts present looked at each other in bewilderment, and then headed straight for the coordinates given to them by Lei.
They all understood the subtext of the words: to end the lives of these intruders.
Meanwhile, the older brother, Oni, finally met Shinobu Kocho.
Before the older brother, Shinobu, could speak, looked at him with surprise in her eyes and said, "Judging from your appearance and this pungent stench, you must be the older brother of the Natagumo Demon family."
Upon hearing this, the older brother was stunned for a moment, and then several question marks flashed across his face.
Clearly, it didn't understand how its appearance and the stench it carried could be connected to the older brother of the Nata Spider Demon family.
But none of that matters anymore, because it wants to properly appreciate the tragic scene of Shinobu Kocho withering away under the spider's venom.
Before that, it wanted to properly explain to Shinobu the spider venom it had been afflicted with.
Whether human or other creature, when they anticipate death, they usually fall into a state of collapse, despair, and hysterical ugliness.
And that's exactly what the older brother ghost wanted to see.
However, before her brother Oni could speak, Shinobu Kocho said again, "Come on, let me see your other abilities besides spider venom. I hope you won't disappoint me."
As she spoke, Shinobu Kocho drew her slender Nichirin Blade from her waist and pointed it at her brother, Oni.
Meanwhile, the older brother, Oni, was thrown into confusion by Shinobu's words.
It didn't know how Shinobu knew about the spider's venom, nor did it understand why Shinobu wanted to see its other abilities...
And is that excessively thin Nichirin Blade in her hand a joke? How could such a Nichirin Blade sever a demon's neck?
Meanwhile, the Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka, the Love Pillar Mitsuri Kanroji, the Stone Pillar Gyomei Himejima, and the Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui, who were acting separately, also encountered members of the Nada Spider Demon's family.
Scenes similar to those of Shinobu Kocho and her brother Oni are playing out in a cycle of reincarnation.
Among these events, the Water Pillar - Giyu Tomioka encountered fatigue.
Naturally, Giyu Tomioka immediately revealed Rui's identity and told him to use his abilities.
Seeing this, Lei frowned, his cold eyes fixed on Tomioka Giyuu as he asked, "You're not an ordinary demon slayer. Who are you?"
Upon hearing this, Giyu Tomioka slowly drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist and pointed it at Rui, saying, "Remember this, the one who is going to kill you is the Water Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Giyu Tomioka!"
Upon learning of Giyu Tomioka's identity, Rei's expression changed drastically.
As one of the Twelve Demon Moons, Rui naturally knew the names of the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps and was also very clear about their strength, which immediately gave rise to a great sense of crisis in his heart.
The next moment, as if realizing something, the tired man had a sudden thought.
Immediately, the same tired voice echoed in the minds of the Natagumo family members: "Run! The five who came this time are all Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps. You can't handle them!"
After receiving Rui's heartfelt message, the members of the Natagumo family were first stunned, then looked at the pillar in front of them, their expressions suddenly changed, and their eyes filled with uncontrollable terror.
These are the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps; the mere name 'Pillar' is enough to intimidate all demons.
......
Chapter 517 The Changed Future, The Vanished Girl!
Demon Slayer Headquarters.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki has received the message from the Five Pillars through the Kasugai Crow.
Based on the information from the Five Pillars, the part about ghosts in Chen Anxia's prophecy of the future should be accurate.
After confirming this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki muttered to himself, "The future that Chen Anxia wanted to describe contains information about almost all of the Twelve Demon Moons."
"With this information, we gain the upper hand..."
Seeing this, Ubuyashiki Amane couldn't help but ask, "Kagoya, what should we do next?"
Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled slightly and said, "In the future predicted by Chen Anxia, the movements of two of the Twelve Demon Moons are certain."
"In response to this, we can launch an extermination operation to eliminate these two Twelve Demon Moons, thereby weakening Muzan Kibutsuji's power before the final battle."
Upon hearing this, the relevant information immediately came to mind.
In the future predicted by Chen Anxia, the movements of two of the Twelve Ghost Moons are indeed certain.
These two demons of the Twelve Demon Moons are the twin demons of Upper Moon Six, Gyutaro and Daki, and the ice demon of Upper Moon Two, Doma.
Among them, Gyutaro and Daki are now playing the roles of debt collector and courtesan in the Yoshiwara red-light district.
Doma, on the other hand, is within the Eternal Bliss Cult, because he is the cult's leader.
Not only that, Doma is also the murderer of Kanae Kocho, and the Insect Pillar Shinobu Kocho swore to kill his sister.
Of course, the extermination operation cannot be carried out casually.
Although there is Chen Anxia's prediction as a basis, it is possible to make arrangements in advance.
However, the existence of players makes the future full of uncertainties.
Under such circumstances, if we act entirely according to Chen Anxia's prediction, something terrible could very well happen.
If any one link in the chain is not handled properly, there is a high probability that the Demon Slayer Corps' combat strength will be weakened in the extermination operation, which is not what Kagaya Ubuyashiki wants to see.
However, one thing is certain: the abilities of the Twelve Demon Moons will not change because of the presence of players.
Having dealt with demons for a long time, Kagaya Ubuyashiki naturally knew that once you reached the level of the Twelve Demon Moons, it would be very difficult to improve further.
Therefore, even if there are changes in the players, it is still impossible for the Twelve Demon Moons to increase their power in a short period of time.
In response to this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki could designate pillars to participate in the extermination operation.
Of course, if possible, Kagaya Ubuyashiki would also like to meet Chen Anxia in person.
Kagaya Ubuyashiki was naturally very interested in the human who claimed to be a prophet and was described by Sakonji Urokodaki as possessing power surpassing that of the Pillars.
At the same time, Kagaya Ubuyashiki also wanted to know if Chen Anxia already had a plan to completely annihilate Muzan Kibutsuji.
However, before meeting Chen Anxia, Kagaya Ubuyashiki had one more person to meet.
This person is Kamado Tanjiro.
In Urokodaki Sakonji's mind, Tanjiro Kamado's character and talent, as well as the connection between the Kamado family and Yoriichi Tsugikuni, were also explained.
This naturally includes the fact that Tanjiro Kamado is the inheritor of the Initial Breathing - Log Breathing Technique.
Thinking it over, Kagaya Ubuyashiki said to Amane Ubuyashiki, "Go and check where Tanjiro Kamado and his sister are right now."
"Let's double-check and send Kasugai Crow to deliver a message to Giyu, asking him to pick up Tanjiro Kamado and his sister on his way back."
Ubuyashiki Amane didn't ask any questions and simply did as instructed.
As for the method to confirm the location of Tanjiro Kamado and his sister, it was naturally through the Kasugai Crow that Tanjiro Kamado obtained when he passed the Demon Slayer's Final Test.
On the other side, after dealing with the six player ghosts, Chen Anxia and Kyoko Tsugikuni worked all night to find a large amount of flammable material and set the entire village on fire.
As for the Holy Son, he still needs time to calm his mind.
That's perfect, allowing Ao Shengzi to take care of Qian Weiyang while calming his own mind.
After the entire village was set ablaze, Chen Anxia did not linger, but continued on his way with Ao Shengzi, Jiguo Jingzi, and Qian Weiyang.
Another day passed, and Chen Anxia, along with Ao Shengzi, Jiguo Jingzi, and Qian Weiyang, arrived at a small town.
This town was different from the villages we had encountered before; it was full of human presence.
Because Chen Anxia and his group arrived during the day, they were able to witness the bustling activity of the town.
This bustling scene attracted the Holy Child from another world, making him curious about everything.
It was also a good opportunity for Chen Anxia to take this chance to stroll around the bustling town while imparting some common sense about life in this world to the Holy Son.
During this process, neither Oku Seiko nor Tsugikuni Kyoko noticed that Chen Anxia's brow furrowed inexplicably.
Chen Anxia's sense of smell comes from Urokodaki Sakonji.
Urokodaki Sakonji's sense of smell is so acute that he can even discern a person's current mood through their scent.
Chen Anxia is naturally capable of doing the same.
As Chen Anxia strolled through the town, her sense of smell detected unease among the seemingly normal pedestrians.
If it's only a part, then Chen Anxia wouldn't find it strange.
It's normal to feel uneasy because people encounter different things every day.
However, Chen Anxia discovered that, apart from the unaware children, more than 60% of the pedestrians he encountered exuded unease through their scent.
This also made Chen Anxia realize that beneath the glamorous facade of the town lay the unease of its residents.
So, what is it that makes so many townspeople feel uneasy?
The answer is already quite obvious.
Chen Anxia found it strange, however, that even though he had almost walked around the entire town, he had not smelled any rotting odor belonging to ghosts.
Chen Anxia was certain that the ghosts were the cause of the town's unrest.
But where exactly is this ghost hiding? Chen Anxia really doesn't know.
In Chen Anxia's mind, she couldn't help but wonder, 'In the original story, are there ghosts who can hide their scent?'
While pondering, Chen Anxia multitasked, continuing to impart the common sense of life in this world to the Holy Son.
Just then, Chen Anxia suddenly heard a sigh coming from not far away: "Sigh, what is wrong with this town? Why are so many girls disappearing for no reason?"
