Fox Demon: Heaven rewards diligence; I will eventually achieve divine mastery of martial arts.

He naturally had no belief whatsoever that Nezuko would not attack humans.

So it was perfect that Kagaya Ubuyashiki made this suggestion; he wanted to reveal the true nature of the brother and sister in front of him.

He drew his Nichirin Blade from his waist and slashed cleanly, leaving a small wound on his palm.

Blood slowly flowed from his wound.

In an instant, Nezuko's nose twitched, and she turned to look in Shinazugawa Sanemi's direction.

Everyone's hearts were in their throats.

Sanemi Shinazugawa was overjoyed, because based on his experience, the demons attracted by the blizzard would all pounce on him viciously in the next second, with naked desire.

This would give him a legitimate reason to draw his sword against Tanjiro Kamado, and he would surely be able to avenge himself.

But soon, his expression froze.

Because Nezuko in front of him only looked at him, stared blankly at the blood dripping from his hand, and then a question appeared in her eyes.

It seems to be asking you why you cut your own palm?

Yeah, it's kind of like looking at an idiot.

At least that's how Sanemi Shinazugawa sees it.

The veins on his forehead throbbed once more. His eyes were also bloodshot.

His hands clenched tightly in that instant, and the rate at which blood dripped down accelerated once more.

I was humiliated, and this time by a demon.

He felt completely overwhelmed.

At this moment, all the other Pillar-level swordsmen were also looking at Nezuko in surprise.

This was completely unexpected.

As a Pillar-level swordsman, he naturally understood the allure of precious blood to demons.

However, Nezuko seemed completely unaffected.

"Good job, Nezuko."

Tanjiro Kamado walked up to Nezuko and patted her head.

Then he turned to the shocked Pillar-level swordsmen beside him and said calmly:

“I told you, Nezuko is special.”

"So I hope that no one will ever lay a hand on my sister again, otherwise I will definitely kill him."

After saying that, Tanjiro Kamado glanced at Sanemi Shinazugawa, as if he were not paying attention.

This made Sanemi Shinazugawa clench his fists even tighter.

"Alright, now everyone should have confirmed Nezuko's special qualities."

"Therefore, I hope that all members of the Demon Slayer Corps will have no hostility towards Nezuko in the future."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki immediately defined the nature of the matter.

After a brief moment of hesitation, all the Pillar-level swordsmen quickly agreed to the task.

"Tanjiro, you've seen it too, are you satisfied?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki continued to ask.

"Mr. Ubuyashiki is very perceptive."

Seeing how readily the other party had defined the whole matter, Tanjiro Kamado knew that everything Lin Yu had just said was true.

But he still didn't understand why the other party was being so polite to him.

But he soon understood everything.

"Then Tanjiro, let's talk about something else."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki began to speak.

"Hmm, what is it?"

Tanjiro Kamado paused for a moment, then asked.

"Naturally, your joining the Demon Slayer Corps has already demonstrated your strength to us, so we can't treat you as an ordinary member."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki paused, scanned the group of Pillar-level swordsmen, and solemnly said:

"I intend to make Tanjiro the new Pillar-level swordsman of our Demon Slayer Corps directly."

"No, my lord!"

"This is not in accordance with the rules."

"..."

The Pillar-level swordsmen couldn't help but gasp in surprise.

Shock was seen in everyone's eyes, including Tanjiro Kamado's, because the Pillar-level swordsmen not only represented their strength, but also their achievements in killing demons.

Tanjiro Kamado has only just joined their team and hasn't even slain any demons yet, but he's already become a Pillar Swordsman. This is really not in accordance with the established rules.

Before he could finish speaking, Kagaya Ubuyashiki slowly uttered the following words:

"But Tanjiro, as you see, if I were to just declare you a Pillar Swordsman like this, many of the people in front of me would not agree, and more importantly, there would be a lot of opposition within our Demon Slayer Corps."

"Therefore, I hope that Tanjiro can complete a few missions before becoming a Pillar-level swordsman. What do you think?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked Tanjiro Kamado again.

Tanjiro Kamado, however, didn't seem to care at all:

“I have no objection to that. I don’t care at all whether they are Pillar-level swordsmen or not. As long as I have the information to kill the demons, that’s enough.”

"Especially the information about the King of Demons, I will definitely kill him with my own hands."

Tanjiro Kamado's voice was resolute.

Several Pillar-level swordsmen couldn't help but nod slightly; this was exactly the kind of spirit their Demon Slayer Corps members needed.

Without a doubt, Tanjiro Kamado is absolutely qualified in this regard.

"Tanjiro, it's good that you have this intention. Since that's the case, then let's leave it at that. From now on, you will continue to act with the Insect Hashira, Shinobu Kocho, and the Sound Hashira will also go along."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki announced. (End of Chapter)

Chapter 267 Kagaya Ubuyashiki's Shock

Although preparations for this meeting began long ago, it ended very quickly.

However, some people were happy while others were sad, especially Sanemi Shinazugawa, who felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a fly.

But faced with this result that no one, including the lord, had any objections, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

Moreover, Nezuko proved that the other party had no particular thoughts about the precious blood, and he couldn't find any fault with it. The only one who might get hurt was him.

"Damn it, from today onwards I will also work hard to practice my martial arts skills, and one day I will definitely trample that guy under my feet."

Sanemi Shinazugawa made up his mind.

Giyu Tomioka then went to see Sakonji Urokodaki, who had come to headquarters. He had been curious about how Tanjiro Kamado trained ever since he first heard the news.

Moreover, I haven't seen Urokodaki Sakonji for so long, and although I write back every time, there are still many things I want to say.

Kyojuro Rengoku, the Flame Hashira who had remained silent until now, approached Tanjiro Kamado, who had already stood up, with a smile on his face.

"I'm very happy to have a master like you join the Demon Slayer Corps. With people like you, our Demon Slayer Corps can continue to slay evil demons."

Kyojuro Rengoku patted Tanjiro Kamado on the shoulder and then gave him a thumbs up:

"And the way you're so determined to protect your sister is really touching. I'll always support you."

After saying all that, Kyojuro Rengoku turned and left, leaving Tanjiro Kamado somewhat bewildered.

However, at this moment, the rock pillar, Himejima Gyomei, stepped forward and said:

"This can be considered Kyojuro's way of acknowledging you. It seems that even if the lord has not expressed his opinion, there are still quite a few people who support you."

"you are?"

"Contemporary rock pillars, mournful islands wandering in the underworld."

Beimingyu Xingming clasped his hands together and bowed.

"Is that so? Even if no one supports me, I will protect Nezuko."

Tanjiro Kamado didn't take it seriously.

Himejima Gyomei fell silent for a moment. He actually preferred to execute Nezuko, not entirely out of hatred for demons, but more out of concern for Ubuyashiki Kagaya's safety.

After all, demons have many tricks up their sleeves. If a demon is found to be at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, it's possible that other demons might follow the trail and come here.

I thought Tanjiro Kamado had some kind of backing to have the courage to come here, but it turns out he relied entirely on his own strength and his determination to protect his sister.

Gyomei Himejima could understand this feeling, but he felt that Tanjiro Kamado was still too reckless.

However, he naturally wouldn't comment too much on others, so he stepped aside. By this time, most of the people in the room had already left, leaving only Kagaya Ubuyashiki, Tanjiro Kamado, Gyomei Himejima, and a boy who hadn't moved at all from beginning to end.
