"Then tell me, what's so fun about it?"
Akaza: "......"
Faced with Muzan's questioning, Akaza finally came to his senses and remembered that the other party could hear his thoughts.
Akaza silently emptied his mind, trying not to think about anything, and fell into silence.
"a shame!"
Seeing Akaza start to act like a turtle, Muzan snorted coldly with some dissatisfaction and slammed Akaza's head against the wall.
Unlike the Lower Moon, these elites are the ones he has selected over hundreds of years, and even if they make mistakes, they will only be punished slightly.
Before finding the Blue Spider Lily, we need their help running errands around; killing them directly would be a waste of their time and resources.
As he walked over Akaza's body, Muzan Kibutsuji looked coldly at the others.
"I am very disappointed in you all."
The jade pot poked its head out from the side: "Lord Muzan, I have completed all the tasks you entrusted to me."
"Shut up!"
Conspicuous blue veins bulged on Muzan Kibutsuji's forehead as he glared at Gyokko in a fit of rage and questioned him.
"You think you've done a good job? Then tell me what you've actually accomplished!"
"For hundreds of years, the Ubuyashiki family has been alive and well, leading the Demon Slayer Corps around right under my nose!"
"But the blue spider lily I need most has yet to be found!"
"You can't even do one important thing, yet you dare to smugly tell me that you've done it well?"
boom--!
Without warning, the jade pot's body exploded into several pieces, causing the fallen princess, who was also preparing to claim credit nearby, to shrink back.
"It seems I've been too lenient with you."
Seemingly sensing Daki's thoughts, Kibutsuji Muzan glanced at her expressionlessly.
"The guy who killed Doma was a man with short black hair, but whose physical strength far exceeded that of ordinary people."
Recalling the scene before Doma's death, a hint of fear flashed in Muzan Kibutsuji's eyes.
Although the footage was brief, Lin Que's two attacks still startled him.
With just his aura, he shattered Doma's rain of ice pillars, and with a single breath, he blew Doma's full-force attack back.
This power was truly beyond his comprehension.
However, precisely because of this, Muzan began to feel that something was amiss.
After all, even Yoriichi Tsugikuni back then was never this exaggerated. Could Lin Que, a guy who suddenly appeared, really be this strong?
Is it possible that the opponent used some kind of trickery he couldn't understand during those attacks?
Is there actually more to this story?
As a sixth Upper Moon who valued his life, Muzan, with the idea that if he couldn't beat them, he would hide and outlive them, gathered the remaining Upper Moons.
He was instructed not to personally test the waters; he had to let his subordinates, whose abilities were decent, handle it.
"The five of you can temporarily cease your search for the Blue Spider Lily."
"Let's attack the Demon Slayer Corps together, find the guy who killed Doma, and kill him!"
"If you can't do it, then don't come back."
...
"Lin Que?"
Inside the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, Kanae Kocho looked at the man beside her with some confusion.
"What happened? Why are you suddenly laughing?"
"Because I heard something interesting."
Lin Que didn't keep them in suspense and gave the answer directly.
"Kibutsuji Muzan wants to send his men to kill me."
Kanae Kocho sighed, "You're joking again."
Shinobu Kocho, who was standing to the side, nodded silently.
Faced with Lin Que's nonsensical reply, even she, who was usually very serious, didn't believe it this time.
"It's a pity, I wasn't joking this time."
Lin Que shrugged: "That's really what they said."
Now that I've come to the Demon Slayer world, I naturally want to max out my reputation with the world.
Therefore, the moment he landed, he used his Observation Haki to cover the entire neon sky and pinpoint Muzan Kibutsuji's location.
Combined with his superhuman hearing, Lin Que could hear every move and word the other party made afterward as clearly as if they were plotting something loudly.
Naturally, he also overheard that the other side was going to send the remaining five Upper Moons to kill him together.
"Perception covering the entire neon sky?"
After hearing Lin Que's explanation, Shinobu Kocho looked at him like he was a monster: "Really? You can even do something like that!"
"The neon lights are only so big, it's not a big deal."
Lin Que smiled and looked ahead: "What do you think? The leader of the Demon Slayer Corps?"
"Ahem~ For Mr. Lin Que, whose strength is comparable to that of a god, doing such a thing is entirely a matter of course."
Supported by two children, a blind man with an ugly, protruding face slowly walked out.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin Que, I'm not feeling well. I was originally planning to wait for you at the main entrance."
"It's alright, these are all insignificant side details."
Lin Que casually replied, "I require you, with your frail body, to arrive at the Demon Slayer Corps' main gate within half a minute of receiving this message."
"This is like asking a poor person who can't afford to eat to take out hundreds of taels of silver; it's simply unrealistic."
“Thank you for your understanding.”
Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled gently and said, "Please come with me. Preparations for the banquet have already begun."
"Let's go inside and talk before we get it done."

"Please allow me to introduce myself again. I am Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the 97th head of the Demon Slayer Corps."
Kneeling on the tatami mat, Kagaya Ubuyashiki leaned forward slightly and bowed to Lin Que opposite him.
"I've already heard about Mr. Lin Que from Kanae."
"Thank you for accepting Kanae's invitation to descend to this world and help our Demon Slayer Corps eliminate the Demon King, Muzan Kibutsuji."
"You really trust your subordinates enough."
Lin Que said with a mocking expression, "You only got a few words from Kanae before, and this is the first time we've met."
"You're actually willing to set aside your pride and treat me with such respect? Aren't you afraid I might suddenly change my mind?"
"I know Kanae very well; she wouldn't lie to me about something like this."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki revealed a gentle smile: "As for face... if it's just a matter of sacrificing some face, we can eliminate Muzan Kibutsuji."
"Then all ninety-six rulers before me made the same decision without exception."
"Well, anyone can say polite words, so I'll just believe you for now."
Lin Que, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground with one hand supporting his cheek, changed his expression and looked at him calmly.
"You seem to have something else to say. I don't like beating around the bush, so just say what you mean."
"Since you put it that way, I'll get straight to the point."
Kagaya Ubuyashiki hesitated for a moment before asking.
"Mr. Lin Que, may I ask you...?"
"Oh, so you're worried about not getting enough pay."
Although out of personal habit, Lin Que did not actively try to eavesdrop on Ubuyashiki Kagaya's thoughts.
However, the vague unease in the other party's heart still reached Lin Que's ears under the guidance of his Observation Haki.
"As for the reward... well, prepare a copy of all the books on breathing techniques from your Demon Slayer Corps."
"only these?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki looked at Lin Que in astonishment: "Don't you want anything else?"
"Yes, I have."
