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

Shinobu asked again.

"Yes, so our first priority when we get there is to find the true form of the evil spirit."

Uzui Tengen nodded.

This is actually a very tricky matter. After all, there are many people and a lot of gossip in the pleasure quarters, and many traces are covered up by people coming and going, which makes it difficult to find the evil spirits inside.

"It seems we'll have to spend a little more time on this mission."

Shinobu Kocho seemed to be deep in thought. Judging from the current situation, this mission was bound to be a troublesome one.

After all, demons can always hide, and the Demon Slayer Corps certainly cannot afford to kill the wrong person.

"Um, I wanted to say something."

Tanjiro Kamado timidly raised his hand.

"Oh, you have your thoughts too. Share them."

Uzui Tengen watched Kamado Tanjiro with great interest. He had to admit that the other man was very strong, but in terms of intelligence gathering, Uzui Tengen did not think that the other man was better than him.

But Shinobu, having been defeated once, had many more ideas.

After all, she had thoroughly researched the details of Tanjiro Kamado's trials.

One of the most important points is how he was able to find and kill all the evil spirits so quickly in such a short time.

Unless he truly possesses a treasure that can detect the location of evil spirits at any time.

Otherwise, no matter how you look at it, it seems unlikely that you could accomplish such a feat in the trial.

But subconsciously, Shinobu Kocho felt that this whole thing was rather absurd.

After all, the location of the evil spirits that they knew was basically deduced by their lord from piecemeal information.

The vast information network, built through countless reports and requests for help from members of the Fuji family, could not possibly be overthrown by Tanjiro Kamado alone.

But the next second, Tanjiro Kamado revealed his thoughts:

"Don't worry, I've figured out where the evil spirits in the red-light district are. We can just go and kill them directly this time."

Uzui Tengen: ?

Shinobu Kocho: ?

"How is that possible? How did you know the true identity of the evil spirit?"

The two spoke almost in unison, which was really outrageous.

After all, Tanjiro Kamado has never even been to a pleasure quarter, so how could he possibly know this information?

Uzui Tengen's eyes suddenly sharpened.

"Who are you? How did you know where the evil spirits were?"

He questioned loudly.

There is only one person in the world who knows the exact identities of all evil spirits, and that is the King of Evil Spirits, who has always existed outside their sight.

However, the fact that Tanjiro Kamado could know about things thousands of miles away while still at headquarters was shocking and suspicious to him.

"I have my own way of doing this. Mr. Ubuyashiki is aware of this matter. If you don't believe me, you can ask Mr. Ubuyashiki."

Tanjiro Kamado remained completely calm and simply pushed Kagaya Ubuyashiki in front of him.

Now that Kagaya Ubuyashiki has completely agreed to cooperate with Lin Yu, he is naturally a trustworthy person, and Lin Yu can push all his problems onto Kagaya Ubuyashiki without any pressure.

When Tanjiro Kamado mentioned Kagaya Ubuyashiki's name, Tengen Uzui's expression turned sour.

Although he was already thinking of asking Kagaya Ubuyashiki about it, his reason told him that Tanjiro Kamado was confident enough to say those words so calmly.

But the more easily Tanjiro Kamado said these things, the more he had to consider.

However, his chaotic thoughts were eventually calmed down by the name of Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

In the end, he didn't say anything, but simply stood up and said:

"I'll go get ready, we'll be leaving soon."

"You seem to have some doubts as well. You can ask Mr. Ubuyashiki for confirmation."

Tanjiro Kamado looked calmly at Shinobu Kocho.

Shinobu Kocho's thoughts drifted far away; she naturally realized that Tanjiro Kamado and Kagaya Ubuyashiki had reached an agreement.

She couldn't help but wonder what exactly happened between Tanjiro Kamado and Kagaya Ubuyashiki back then.

Although Kagaya Ubuyashiki valued Tanjiro Kamado back then, he never trusted him as much as he does now.

Although she was curious, she knew that even if she asked, she would definitely not get an answer.

After all, Muichiro Tokito and Gyomei Himejima had been protecting Kagaya Ubuyashiki, and now, without revealing a single word, they've already revealed some things.

Either this matter is top secret, or even Muichiro Tokito and Gyomei Himejima know nothing about it.

She turned her head away and didn't say anything.

I don't know why, but ever since she was defeated by Tanjiro Kamado last time, her emotions have become unstable.

Tanjiro Kamado didn't care.

However, he was also surprised when Lin Yu told him that he knew where the evil spirits hidden in the pleasure quarters were.

Youkuo is still far from here, yet Lin Yu was able to explore such a distant place. Although he had long appreciated Lin Yu's strength, what he was showing now made him even more awe of Lin Yu.

Not long after, Uzui Tengen also returned to the makeup and attire she wore at the meeting.

Each of the three, preoccupied with their own thoughts, left the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and sped off to Yukoku.

When the three arrived at the pleasure quarters, it was already night. The pleasure quarters were still bustling with activity, and many geishas were dressed in their finest attire, vying for attention. Uzui Tengen's strange decorations, however, did not stand out as much.

"Now you can tell me where that evil spirit is."

On the way, Tengen Uzui asked Tanjiro Kamado several times where the demons were, but Tanjiro Kamado did not answer.

"You should take a rest first."

Tanjiro Kamado glanced at the two of them.

Although he didn't use his full strength this time, Uzui Tengen was not. In order to keep up with Kamado Tanjiro's speed, Uzui Tengen obviously used a lot of strength. His headband was wet with sweat and he was panting slightly.

As for Shinobu Kocho, she was even more pathetic, drenched in sweat.

Therefore, when Tanjiro Kamado said that, Tengen Uzui had no way to refute it.

Finally, the three of them found a noodle shop on the edge of the arcade and sat down.

The noodle shop owner warmly welcomed them, just as a commotion broke out outside.

The three of them couldn't help but look outside. At this moment, the entire flower street seemed to be boiling over, with many people and a great deal of noise.

"Boss, what's going on outside?"

Uzui Tengen couldn't help but ask.

"Hmm, you're newcomers to the red-light district, of course you don't know about this. It's a monthly courtesan parade, and many customers gather here to catch a glimpse of the courtesan's beauty."

The boss explained.

"A courtesan? Hmph, she may be glamorous, but she's not as glamorous as my wife."

"I stroked my chin and slurped my noodles," said Uzui Tengen.

Shinobu Kocho's eyes also showed disgust; she had never had a good impression of geisha who wore revealing clothing.

Tanjiro Kamado's eyes flickered, because Lin Yu had told him that the demon had transformed into a courtesan named Warabi-hime.

Perhaps that evil spirit is among the procession.

"I'll go out and take a look."

Tanjiro Kamado, feigning a youthful spirit, put down his chopsticks and bowl.

The boss burst into laughter:

"Haha, you're actually interested in courtesans."

Uzui Tengen didn't think it was a big deal.

The perceptive Shinobu Kocho noticed something was amiss.

However, she didn't say anything, but quietly ate her noodles, because the journey had taken too much of her energy.

Tanjiro Kamado walked out of the noodle shop and squeezed into the crowd. With his power, the crowd was easily parted, and the people's curses could not withstand Tanjiro Kamado's power.

Soon, Tanjiro Kamado saw the procession.

First, ordinary geisha led the way, followed by strongmen carrying the courtesan's palanquin forward.

If you continue to move your gaze upwards, you will be able to see the so-called courtesan.

The courtesan, dressed in gorgeous attire, would either display her dance moves or her figure, and each seductive gesture would elicit cheers from the crowd.

Meanwhile, Tanjiro Kamado was constantly searching for his own gaze.

His eyes narrowed quickly.

Behind them, an even larger procession slowly approached. (End of Chapter)
