I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

"Sister! You bad guy, let go of me... Waaah?!"

Seeing Kocho Kanae being tightly embraced by the demon god Li Mo, Kocho Shinobu, who had just fused with the core of extraordinary power, was so angry that her pretty face turned red. Her chest, which already showed the slender curves of a young girl, was almost bursting with anger. She rushed forward angrily to try to save her sister.

Shinobu Kocho has a rather serious sister complex, or to put it more politely, she sees her older sister as the goal she is pursuing. However, Shinobu has not yet experienced the scene of witnessing her sister's death and undergoing a drastic change in personality. As a hot-tempered younger sister, she ignores the fact that she is no match for the opponent and tries her best to defeat the demon god Li Mo in order to save her older sister Kanae Kocho.

The problem was that Shinobu Kocho completely ignored the effects of the extraordinary power core that the demon god Li Mo had just fused with in her. She had just had the thought of defeating this big bad guy in front of her and rescuing her sister when she pounced on him, but she was caught in Li Mo's arms without any resistance. She and her sister, Kanae Kocho, stared at each other, but Li Mo got the better deal and got to enjoy the wonderful feeling of a girl who had just entered her teens.

After all, if Shinobu Kocho hadn't spoken, at almost 14 years old, her figure was already beginning to develop. While she might not have been able to match her older sister Kanae Kocho's stunning figure that surpassed that of other girls her age, she was certainly among the top tier of girls her age. Moreover, both she and Kanae Kocho were naturally blessed with exceptional looks, and the two beautiful girls could easily score 90 points, not even counting the extra advantage that came with the two sisters.

On the other side, Kurihana Kanao looked on with some curiosity, but she walked step by step to the ghost god Li Mo who gave her a warm feeling. Then, she was directly embraced by the ghost god Li Mo and reunited with her two sworn sisters who were like blood sisters!

……

"Please, please spare my two younger sisters!"

Seeing herself and her two younger sisters being held by the demon Li Mo, Kanae's beautiful eyes flashed with a strange light, and her pretty face showed an expression as if she was about to sacrifice herself. Forcibly suppressing other thoughts rising in her mind, she pleaded with the demon Li Mo, "I will stay. I will accept whatever you want to do. Please let Shinobu and Kanao go..."

Well, Kanae now understands that she is absolutely weaker than the demon Li Mo, but unable to harbor any hostility towards him, she still persists with all her might, wanting to sacrifice herself for the safety of her two younger sisters.

Even though the demon god Li Mo has completely eliminated the demon's weaknesses, is not afraid of sunlight or wisteria flowers, and would not use humans as food, Kocho Kanae and the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps are unaware of this. Naturally, they still regard the demon god Li Mo as a potential danger that might go out of control and eat people. Now that all three of them have been captured by him, Kocho Kanae is willing to sacrifice herself to save her two younger sisters.

In this respect, Kocho Kanae's will is very firm. In addition, the influence of the supernatural power core is still gradually manifesting. Therefore, she is still able to barely suppress her loyalty to the ghost god Li Mo with her willpower and try to save her two younger sisters.

"Hehe, Kanae, don't worry, I won't hurt them, just like I won't hurt you. Let's leave this place together!"

In just a moment, the demon god Li Mo sensed Kocho Kanae's feelings. He chuckled twice and then directly lowered his head to kiss the beautiful girl in his arms. Under the surprised gazes of her, Kocho Shinobu, and Tsuyuri Kanae, he said very directly.

Just kidding. Of course, the demon god Li Mo would never let Shinobu Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri go. Just like a hungry wolf would never let go of a piece of meat that is already in its mouth. He spent a lot of money to create three extraordinary power cores, and even cut off a small part of his own soul power to integrate into them. How could he let Shinobu Kocho and Kanao Tsuyuri, who have already integrated extraordinary power cores, go just because of Kanao Kocho's words?

As for Kanae Butterfly, Ghost God Li Mo didn't think there was any problem at all. The influence of the extraordinary power core was not so simple. He didn't need to worry about Kanae Butterfly's loyalty at all. Moreover, if there were three beautiful swordswomen with great potential, why would he give up two of them? As an experienced old fox, Ghost God Li Mo made the decision to take them all without hesitation. Releasing them was absolutely impossible. He would never agree with Kanae Butterfly's opinion.

Therefore, the demon god Li Mo completely ignored Kocho Kanae's suggestion, directly hugged Kocho Kanae, Kocho Shinobu, and Tsuyuri Kanae together, and then instantly leaped out of the Butterfly Mansion headquarters. He then directly determined his directions and headed towards the direction where he felt human life was most concentrated, intending to find a place to change his clothes and chat with his three newly recruited beautiful female subordinates.

When the demon god Li Mo forcibly led Kocho Kanae, Kocho Shinobu, and Tsuyuri Kanao away from the Butterfly Mansion headquarters, the audience who had been watching for a while finally reacted and quickly reported the situation to the Demon Slayer Corps' higher-ups while remaining on guard!

Chapter 6 The Demon Slayer Corps' Discussion

Without a doubt, the people at the Butterfly Mansion headquarters, having witnessed the demon god Li Mo kidnapping the three sisters, including Kanae and Kocho, couldn't just stand there dumbfounded. After some of them reacted, they quickly relayed the news to the Demon Slayer Corps' higher-ups through various means.

After all, aside from Shinobu Kocho and Kanae Tsuyuri, both beautiful girls are considered to be very promising talents in the Demon Slayer Corps. Kanae Kocho, in particular, is a "Flower Pillar," one of the highest-ranking Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps. Her status is among the highest in the Demon Slayer Corps, and she can go to the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters at any time to request an audience with the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps or to request a meeting of the highest-ranking Pillars in the Demon Slayer Corps, which is a decision-making meeting attended by the head of the Demon Slayer Corps and all Pillars.

It's no exaggeration to say that the Pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps truly live up to their name as "Pillars," serving as a vital pillar of the entire Demon Slayer Corps' fighting force. Otherwise, even with the Nichirin Blade, wisteria flowers, and intelligence support, ordinary swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps would not be able to contend with those powerful demons who possess Blood Demon Art. The Twelve Demon Moons, for example, are even more formidable and cannot be faced by anyone other than a Pillar-level powerhouse.

Therefore, the Pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps are different from ordinary swordsmen. They have considerable autonomy and can decide what kind of clothing to wear. Capable Pillars even directly control the Demon Slayer Corps. For example, Kanae Kocho is skilled in medicine in addition to swordsmanship. She is the head of the Butterfly Mansion headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps. In addition to taking care of the wounded members of the Demon Slayer Corps, she has also acquired a lot of medical books and medical resources.

It's important to know that the world of Demon Slayer is slightly different from the real world. The appearance of demons is accompanied by bloodshed, but the world of Demon Slayer also has some unique products. For example, there are the special messenger birds raised by the Demon Slayer Corps, which can speak human language and even have intelligence close to that of ordinary humans. And there is the special medicine that can turn Muzan Kibutsuji into the progenitor of demons. This shows that the world of Demon Slayer is almost a transcendental world. The medical books and resources collected by the Demon Slayer Corps are priceless treasures for any doctor.

This is a perfectly normal treatment for the Pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps. The successive leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps have spared no expense in order to eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji. Money and power are irrelevant to the successive leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps who are unlikely to live past thirty. What they really want is to kill Muzan Kibutsuji, the source of the curse, in order to break the curse they have been cursed.

Therefore, the successive leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps spare no effort in eliminating demons. In addition, the successive leaders married women from the priestly lineage, so their influence and power in Japan are extraordinary. However, it is a pipe dream for them to cultivate a large number of Pillar-level warriors. Any Pillar-level warrior who practices Breathing Techniques is one in a thousand or even one in ten thousand. Apart from discovering Yoriichi Tsugikuni, a bug-level swordsman, the Demon Slayer Corps has not discovered more than a dozen Pillar-level warriors in the past, let alone eliminating demons.

In fact, what the Demon Slayer Corps has accomplished so far is not eliminating demons, but rather curbing their rampant spread. Often, they have to allocate manpower based on intelligence to eliminate demons that have been discovered. When encountering powerful demons, they need the support of Pillar-level saviors. The fact that the number of Pillar-level saviors in the Demon Slayer Corps has never exceeded double digits throughout history shows how scarce and important Pillar-level saviors are in the Demon Slayer Corps.

Therefore, the status of Kanae Butterfly, the Flower Pillar, was much higher than what the demon god Li Mo had imagined. When the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters received the news from the Butterfly Mansion headquarters, they were initially incredulous. Only after confirming it several times did they quickly convene a meeting of the Pillars!

………………

One day later, in a secluded mountain range where the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was located.

As a mysterious organization that hunts demons in the shadows in Japan, the Demon Slayer Corps has a considerable influence over its successive leaders. However, they still have to consider the daimyo, the shogun, and even the current Japanese government. In addition, they are wary of those powerful demons, so they naturally have to build their headquarters in a hidden location.

That's right. The Demon Slayer Corps' goal is to eliminate all demons and the progenitor of demons, Muzan Kibutsuji. In reality, apart from Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who was almost at the level of a bug, the Demon Slayer Corps is usually in a relatively weak position. Most of the time, they are only able to limit the spread of demons, and at most, they can wipe out six of the lower-ranking demons in the Twelve Demon Moons. As for the six upper-ranking demons of the Twelve Demon Moons, they haven't been replaced for a long time.

As for the Demon Slayer Corps, their raw strength is inferior to that of the demons. If it weren't for the fact that the scoundrel Muzan Kibutsuji is not a powerful leader, and was nearly killed by Yoriichi Tsugikuni, he would be terrified and would often hide in the shadows to create demons. If it were a villainous boss with some ambition, he would probably have crushed the Demon Slayer Corps and gone on to rule the world hundreds of years ago.

The successive leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps are well aware of this. They understand that if they cause a scene, not to mention what the daimyo and shogun, who are capable of all sorts of shameless acts in their pursuit of immortality, might do, just attracting the attention of the progenitor of demons could be disastrous. This makes them extremely careful in managing the Demon Slayer Corps. For example, the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters, logistics facilities, and medical headquarters are all scattered. While this prevents the Demon Slayer Corps from immediately concentrating its forces, it greatly ensures the safety of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.

At the very least, the fact that the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters has not been found by demons or ordinary people for such a long time proves the foresight of the successive leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps. Otherwise, given the despicable nature of the boss, Muzan Kibutsuji, if he knew the address of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, he would definitely have sent a large number of demons, or even the Twelve Demon Moons, to attack and completely destroy the Demon Slayer Corps, which he considered a troublesome entity, just like in the original Demon Slayer anime.

Right now, in the central courtyard of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, several figures dressed completely differently from ordinary Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen are gathered in this place they rarely visit. They are the current Pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps!

"My lord, you've summoned us for another meeting and conference?"

Seeing the arrival of two young people who had recently become Pillars, the current Sound Pillar of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tengen Uzui, was somewhat puzzled. He had rushed over after receiving the news and was unaware of the major event that had occurred within the Demon Slayer Corps.

"Sound Pillar, our lord has summoned us because something terrible has happened!"

Upon hearing Uzui Tengen's puzzled expression, Himejima Gyomei, the [Stone Pillar] with his hands clasped together and wearing a giant string of Buddhist beads, turned his head. This Pillar-level powerhouse, who appeared tall and imposing like a mountain range, had a hint of sorrow in his eyes, and his tone was very sad: "The Butterfly Mansion headquarters confirmed a day ago that the imprisoned demon Li Mo had escaped. He seems to have undergone a huge change. Flower Pillar Kocho Kanae was captured by them, and Flower Pillar's two sisters were also kidnapped..."

When he said these words, the Stone Pillar's face was truly filled with grief and resentment. His relationship with the Kocho sisters was rather special. The two sisters were saved by the Stone Pillar when they were young, otherwise they might have been eaten by the evil spirits that came knocking on their door. Then, Kocho took her younger sister and tried every means to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

It was precisely because of this life-saving grace that the Flower Pillar Kanae Kocho and her younger sister Shinobu Kocho developed a very good relationship with the Stone Pillar Gyomei Himejima. Every time they met, they would respectfully bow to the Stone Pillar and ask him questions. As the strongest Pillar-level shinobi in the Demon Slayer Corps, Gyomei Himejima greatly admired the two sisters, especially after Kanae Kocho became the new Flower Pillar with her outstanding talent. He treated Kanae Kocho differently, and their relationship was naturally very good.

Don't misunderstand, as the "Stone Pillar," Gyomei Himejima has no romantic feelings for Kanae Kocho. He looks at the Kocho sisters with the eyes of an elder looking at a junior, as if the two sisters didn't want to live ordinary lives and joined the Demon Slayer Corps to avenge themselves on demons and eliminate all demons. This is a fairly common situation in the Demon Slayer Corps. What makes him feel gratified is that Kanae Kocho has outstanding talent, and Shinobu Kocho also has a promising future.

Now, Gyomei Himejima, who is stationed at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, learned about the situation at the Butterfly Mansion headquarters immediately. Knowing just how cruel those man-eating demons are, he simply doesn't believe that Kanae and the others who were kidnapped can still be alive.

"Abducted by a ghost?"

"Really?!"

"That demon, wasn't it confirmed before that it was just an ordinary evil spirit? How could it possibly be a match for the Flower Pillar..."

Hearing the conversation between the Sound Pillar and the Stone Pillar, two powerful Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps, the other three Pillars were astonished. They were genuinely unaware that such a thing had happened; they had only assumed that something significant had occurred within the Demon Slayer Corps.

Of course, in a sense, what happened to the Demon Slayer Corps was truly very serious. The deaths of Kanae Kocho, the Flower Pillar, and two other Demon Slayer Corps members (in the eyes of several Pillar-level powerhouses, being abducted by demons would all result in death) were absolutely incomparable to the deaths of ordinary swordsmen who sacrificed themselves in the past to fight demons.

As mentioned earlier, the selection process for Demon Slayer Corps members is unlike that for demons. The scoundrel Muzan Kibutsuji can create demons very easily; a little demon blood is enough to create several demons. Some demons can even use a portion of their demon blood to contaminate ordinary people and create lower-level demons. Even newly born demons have combat power far exceeding that of ordinary people, and even the regular swordsmen of the Demon Slayer Corps need to be careful when facing them.

As for demons that grow stronger by eating people or even awaken Blood Demon Arts, most Demon Slayers have to risk their lives to gather information. Demons who possess particularly dangerous Blood Demon Arts are strong enough to fight Lower Rank demons without being at a disadvantage. For most Demon Slayers, encountering them would be like offering themselves up as meat. Only Pillar-level warriors are relatively confident and can usually escape unscathed even if they encounter a Lower Rank demon. Then, the Demon Slayer Corps can concentrate its main members to carry out the cleanup operation on any Lower Rank demons they discover.

This approach, while seemingly cowardly, aligns with the Demon Slayer Corps' actual situation. Unable to recruit members on a large scale and instead operating in secret, the Demon Slayer Corps faces a severe shortage of personnel, particularly Pillar-level warriors. This scarcity has been a major problem for successive leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps. The reason each Pillar-level warrior possesses such significant authority is precisely because the Demon Slayer Corps values ​​them highly, and Pillar-level warriors are the crucial pillars in combating powerful demons.

But how could Kanae Kocho, the Flower Pillar who has only been in the Demon Slayer Corps for less than two years, have been kidnapped by a demon? And it's that same unlucky guy they captured before, infected by demon blood? Could they have misheard?!

"Our lord has arrived..."

Seeing the three Pillar-level powerhouses with expressions of disbelief, [Sound Pillar] Uzui Tengen was about to ask Himejima Gyomei when he suddenly saw the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps and his group appear at the gate. He then straightened his expression and reminded the others.

Born into a once-reclusive ninja clan, Uzui Tengen disapproved of the clan's fratricidal training methods. He eventually left the clan with his three wives and wandered around. By chance, he met Ubuyashiki Kagaya and came to appreciate him. Kagaya believed that even though Uzui Tengen harbored inner conflicts and entanglements, he could still fight to protect others. Uzui Tengen was grateful to Ubuyashiki Kagaya for acknowledging him and voluntarily became a member of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Not only Uzui Tengen, the Sound Hashira who once came from a ninja clan, deeply respected Ubuyashiki Kagaya, the current leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, but also Himejima Gyomei, the Stone Hashira, was once wrongly accused of murder and nearly executed. He was saved by Ubuyashiki Kagaya and swore to follow him to the death. The other three Hashira-level shinobi of the Demon Slayer Corps all rose to the Hashira-level after these two, and they all showed considerable respect to Ubuyashiki Kagaya, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, without any sign of arrogance.

After all, apart from the Stone Pillar Gyomei Himejima and the Sound Pillar Tengen Uzui, the other three Pillar-level powerhouses of the Demon Slayer Corps are still very young. The Serpent Pillar Obanai Iguro, the Water Pillar Giyu Tomitsuna, and the Flame Pillar Kyojuro Rengoku have all become Pillar-level powerhouses in recent years. They have great respect for Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, and perhaps this is also influenced by the deep-rooted feudal traditions of Japan.

Now that Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, has arrived, even the usually most frivolous Sound Hashira has restrained himself and is joining his comrades to welcome the Demon Slayer Corps' leader and prepare to discuss the important matters that have occurred!

……

"Everyone, the reason I've gathered you all here for this meeting of the Pillars is because of an unexpected incident at the Butterfly Mansion headquarters: Flower Pillar Kanae Kocho and her two younger sisters have been kidnapped!"

Seeing the five Pillar-level powerhouses waiting before him, Ubuyashiki Kagaya, whose physical condition was clearly not very good, with large, pale scars on his face that almost covered his eyes, greeted them with some difficulty. His wife helped him to sit in the main seat of the courtyard hall, and he addressed the five Pillar-level powerhouses—Himeijima Gyomei, Uzui Tengen, and Iguro Obanai—telling them what had happened the previous day: "The one who kidnapped them was that demon previously imprisoned in the basement of the Butterfly Mansion headquarters, the very same Mr. Li Mo who was corrupted by demon blood and turned into a demon. For some reason, his strength suddenly increased, and he escaped and kidnapped them..."

When he said these words, Kagaya Ubuyashiki couldn't help but express his surprise. The five Pillar-level powerhouses, including Gyomei Himejima and Tengen Uzui, understood even more clearly that such a major event had occurred yesterday. A Pillar-level powerhouse and her sister had been kidnapped by a demon who had escaped from prison. It was indeed something that the Demon Slayer Corps should convene a meeting of Pillars to study.

To put it simply, the Demon Slayer Corps currently has only six Pillar-level wielders. Even including those who have recently retired or have been retired for a long time, the number doesn't exceed two hands. Moreover, Kanae Kocho is a top genius who created her own unique Flower Breathing technique using one of the five common breathing techniques of the Demon Slayer Corps, the Water Breathing Technique. In the thousand-year history of the Demon Slayer Corps, she is probably one of the most outstanding Pillar-level wielders besides Yoriichi Tsugikuni, who is a bug-level powerhouse. Her talent and aptitude are at the very top level.

Of course, even if Kanae Kocho's strength is considered that of an ordinary Pillar-level powerhouse, Kagaya Ubuyashiki would not underestimate her. As the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps, he has the sincere support of almost everyone because he cherishes the contributions and experiences of every Demon Slayer Corps member. Even if a Demon Slayer Corps swordsman dies in order to eliminate demons, he remembers their name and the merits they have made, and he even cleans the tombstones of those who sacrificed themselves every day.

In Japan, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's actions demonstrate his deep concern for all members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Coupled with their profound hatred for the rampaging man-eating demons, this is the most important reason why the Demon Slayer Corps is united around its current leader, Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

"My lord, what should we do now? Should we pursue that evil spirit? Or should we check on the situation of Kanae and the others?"

After Kagaya Ubuyashiki finished recounting the confirmed information, Gyomei Himejima, the "Stone Pillar," could hardly contain himself. His eyes flashed with murderous intent as he asked Kagaya Ubuyashiki for permission to immediately set out and kill the demon who had "killed" Kanae Kocho.

"Ahem, I've already sent people to investigate the scene, but the other party left directly through the mountains last night. Even if we can send people to track them down at dawn, it will still take some time..."

Upon hearing the words of the Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's eyes flashed with a hint of helplessness. He naturally knew that the relationship between the Stone Pillar and the Flower Pillar was like that of a father and daughter, but tracking down demons was something that couldn't be rushed.

Despite being countered by sunlight and Nichirin Blades, powerful demons should not be underestimated. If a demon hiding in the mountains finds a cave or similar location, it will be difficult for Demon Slayer Corps members to subdue it. They need to patiently find its weakness before making a move. Moreover, the strength displayed by "Demon Li Mo" was enough to easily defeat Kocho Kanae, the Flower Pillar. Ordinary Demon Slayer Corps members, or even ordinary Pillar-level powerhouses, would probably just be offering themselves up as meat.

Just as the Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, was about to speak and ask if he could lead the team to pursue the enemy, the Serpent Pillar, Obanai Iguro, spoke slowly. His face was covered by a scarf, and his slightly low voice drew everyone's attention:

"Then, my lord, shall we immediately dispatch other pillar-level experts to join forces in pursuing that evil spirit?"

Chapter 7 Dilemmas and Decisions

Several pillar-level powerhouses joined forces to chase after that evil spirit?

Upon hearing Obanai Iguro's words, the other Pillar-level powerhouses, including Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Pillar, all looked at their lord, Kagaya Ubuyashiki. They shared the same thought, but unlike Obanai Iguro, they didn't voice it directly.

Even the Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, who harbored deep resentment, did not consider recklessly pursuing the demon that "killed" Kanae and the others, relying solely on his own strength!

Just kidding! The Pillar-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps are all seasoned warriors who have faced life and death. None of them are weaklings. They all grew up fighting against ferocious demons, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they have experienced countless battles. Naturally, they would not make any mistakes of underestimating their opponents. They understand very well how difficult it is to deal with the demon that "killed" Kanae Kocho and the others.

As Kagaya Ubuyashiki just said, it was based on firsthand observation by members of the Butterfly Mansion headquarters and subsequent on-site investigation of traces that confirmed that "Demon Li Mo" is currently extremely powerful. Even if the five Pillar-level powerhouses, including Gyomei Himejima, Tengen Uzui, and Obanai Iguro, wanted to track down and eliminate "Demon Li Mo," they wouldn't rashly go alone. The best option would be for several Pillar-level powerhouses to join forces.

Otherwise, if the encirclement and suppression fails and they end up delivering prey to our doorstep, wouldn't that make us a laughing stock?

As the Flower Pillar, Kanae Kocho's strength is absolutely not to be underestimated. Apart from the strongest Stone Pillar, Gyomei Himejima, whom she is confident of defeating, she has no guarantee of victory against the Sound Pillar, Tengen Uzui, and the Serpent Pillar, Obanai Iguro. As for the new Flame Pillar, Kyojuro Rengoku, and the Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, they are probably no match for Kanae Kocho.

After all, Kyojuro Rengoku and Giyu Tomioka both inherited the Breathing Technique, while Kanae Kocho, Gyomei Himejima, Tengen Uzui, and Obanai Iguro modified and created their own branch Breathing Techniques that best suited them. Compared to Kyojuro Rengoku and Giyu Tomioka, the difference between them is like the difference between a top student and a genius. The former can only get 100 points on a test, while the latter can only get 100 points on the test paper. In the world of Demon Slayer, the creators of branch Breathing Techniques have much more potential than ordinary Pillar-level powerhouses who inherit the Breathing Technique.

For example, in the original Demon Slayer anime storyline, Kanae Kocho, as the Flower Pillar, encountered and fought to the death with Upper Moon Two, Doma. They fought from nightfall until dawn before she was defeated. However, at that time, Kanae Kocho was not even 18 years old, so she still had a lot of room for improvement. If it were Kyojuro Rengoku or Giyu Tomioka, even if the two of them attacked together, they might not be a match for Doma.

Knowing the strength of the Flower Pillar, Kanae Kocho, even the strongest, Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Pillar, didn't say he would investigate alone. Doing so could easily lead to disaster, causing the Demon Slayer Corps to lose another rare Pillar-level powerhouse, which would put the Demon Slayer Corps at an even greater disadvantage!

"...It's very difficult. We haven't found the whereabouts of 'Evil Ghost Li Mo' yet. Even if we gather several Pillar-level experts, it will be difficult to find him in a short time, not to mention the Blood Demon Art he has shown, which is very likely related to 'Wind'!"

Faced with the question from Obanai Iguro, the Serpent Pillar, and the gazes of the other four Pillar-level powerhouses, Kagaya Ubuyashiki showed a hint of difficulty on his face. Nevertheless, he relayed the information he had gathered that morning and his own deductions to the five Pillar-level powerhouses. Looking up at the five Demon Slayer Corps Pillar-level powerhouses before him, he said helplessly, "Most importantly, we're not just facing one demon. Other demons are still rampaging, not to mention the hidden Demon King!"

If possible, Kagaya Ubuyashiki would also like to immediately wipe out all the demons, but this idea is just that – an idea. The real problem is that the number and quality of the demons they face are much stronger. The Demon Slayer Corps is at a disadvantage most of the time. If it weren't for the fact that the demons are loose and disorganized, they would probably have been wiped out long ago.

Currently, the Demon Slayer Corps is only barely able to limit the extent of the demons' rampage and various reports, mainly because, firstly, in the current world, death is not considered big news, and many cases of demons eating people are attributed to wild animals or bandits. Secondly, the Ubuyashiki family, the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, and the Shinto lineage with which they have intermarried for generations, have a huge potential influence in Japan, which has led to the obfuscation or suppression of various reports about demons eating people. As for the actions of the demon Li Mo, the Demon Slayer Corps has been collecting and judging based entirely on existing information, which naturally leads to significant errors.

According to the information received by Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the force and power generated by the punch of the demon god Li Mo were considered by the Demon Slayer Corps members to be the effect of Blood Demon Art. The information gathered by the Demon Slayer Corps about the demons who knew Blood Demon Art did indeed have the effects of fire, earth, frost, and even other special and extraordinary powers. No normal person would think that it was an extraordinary power system brought by a transmigrator from another world, so naturally the more they deduced, the more ridiculously wrong it became.

Even though the speculation about the Demon God Li Mo was completely unreliable, Ubuyashiki Kagaya made a very prudent judgment. He did not directly refute the idea of ​​not pursuing the Demon God Li Mo, but instead presented the information and situation that the Demon Slayer Corps had gathered, causing several Pillar-level powerhouses to frown!

"My lord, are you also unable to find any trace of that evil spirit?"

Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words, Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Pillar, was somewhat surprised. He looked at his lord and asked in a low voice. Meanwhile, Tengen Uzui, who knew some of the details, briefly introduced the special abilities possessed by their lord, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, to the other three Pillar-level powerhouses.

Simply put, Kagaya Ubuyashiki inherited a curse that had plagued his family for over a thousand years, but this also gave him a certain amount of extraordinary power: the ability to foresee the future. Otherwise, it would have been difficult for the Demon Slayer Corps to find suitable candidates to become Pillar-level shinobi. As the head of the Demon Slayer Corps, which has a history of over a thousand years, Kagaya Ubuyashiki possessed this special ability to foresee the future. In ancient Japan, he could have been treated as a god or Buddha, and even in the current so-called Taisho era, he would be considered a complete fraud.

It's important to know that even after Emperor MacArthur forced reforms with the guns of American soldiers, Japan was still rife with various cults in the 21st century, let alone during the Taisho era. The atmosphere of feudal superstition in Japan was still very strong, and in many remote towns, feudal remnants still held sway!

"My precognitive abilities are not always useful; they are more often vague revelations bestowed by the gods. Otherwise, I would have found the primordial demon king who caused all the disasters long ago..."

When asked about the question by the "Stone Pillar" Gyomei Himejima, Kagaya Ubuyashiki remained remarkably calm, delegating the crucial question to a god whose very existence was uncertain. However, neither Gyomei Himejima nor the other Pillar-level powerhouses showed any disrespect. Aside from some regret at their inability to clearly trace the demon's trail, they held their lord in even greater respect.
