Crossover Anime: Starting with Bankai from Demon Slayer

Chapter 387 The Demon in Human Skin

What he didn't know was.

His overly heavy thoughts led him to think the same way as Inu-ryu.

For different reasons, neither of them dared to ask Team Thirteen for help.

This situation has become quite awkward.

Yun Jing's breathing became heavy, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead, making him feel an unbearable sense of suffocation in the incense-filled room.

"Governor of the Kumoi family? Governor of the Kumoi family?"

A nobleman next to him nudged him lightly with his elbow, interrupting Yun Jing's thoughts.

"Huh? What?" Yun Jing suddenly came to his senses and quickly put on his mature and composed smile.

"The meeting is over, and Lord Tsunayoshi has gone back to rest. We should go now."

The nobleman looked at him with some surprise: "Lord Kumoi seems rather unsettled today. Could it be that something's wrong at the Kasumioji family's weapons workshop?"

"Oh...no, not at all." Yun Jing chuckled dryly, stood up, and straightened the hem of his kimono. "It's just that I'm getting old, and I stayed up late last night dealing with the family accounts, so I'm not feeling well...thank you for your concern."

As everyone respectfully left the reception room one by one, Yun Jing mingled in the crowd and absentmindedly walked out.

The Tsunayo family mansion was enormous, with a complex network of corridors that resembled a giant maze.

Yun Jing left the crowd and walked alone in a secluded corridor.

Looking at the meticulously manicured dry landscape gardens on both sides, at the cold painting composed of white gravel and black strange stones, he felt a chill run down his spine.

...If I can't find that little guy, I'm afraid...

'

His mind was racing, trying to figure out how to send more people to search for Ruri Chiyo in the real world, and his steps seemed somewhat hurried.

Just as he turned a corner.

boom!

Because he wasn't looking where he was going, Yunjing bumped hard into someone walking towards him.

"Ouch!"

The man's body was very sturdy; Yun Jing felt as if he had crashed into a wall.

The enormous reaction force caused the elderly man to lose his balance instantly, staggering back a few steps before falling hard onto the cold wooden floor.

"Hiss... Who's just blindfolded...?"

'

Yun Jing raised his head angrily, about to lash out.

But when he saw the clothes of the person he had bumped into, the curse in his throat seemed to be abruptly cut off.

The person was wearing an extremely luxurious deep purple silk kimono, with intricate water ripple patterns embroidered in gold thread on the lapels and cuffs.

On his left chest was the family crest, Tsuna Yayo, which represented the supreme power in the Soul Society!

Yun Jing's heart clenched suddenly, and the blood in his body seemed to flow backward in that instant.

He bumped into someone from the Tsunayo family!

Don't tell me he's just the head of a noble family.

Even the true head of the Kasumi family must remain respectful and humble when facing the Tsunayashiro family, the head of the five noble families.

This is why, over the past thousand years, the rigid hierarchy of the Soul Society has begun to loosen slightly.

Under the old rules, offending a noble of the Tsunayashiro family was a capital offense that could result in immediate execution!

"My lord...please forgive me! I deserve to die! I deserve to die!"

Overwhelmed by immense fear.

He didn't even care about the pain in his tailbone when he fell. He practically rolled over and knelt down, pressing his forehead firmly against the wooden floor in an extremely humble kneeling position.

"I was preoccupied with the complicated affairs of the family and was momentarily distracted. I didn't see the road ahead clearly and bumped into you, sir!"

"Please, Your Excellency, spare my life, for the sake of the Kasumi family's generations of dedication to the Seireitei!"

Yun Jing trembled all over like a leaf, cold sweat dripping down his face onto the wooden floor.

Time passed second by second.

However, no scolding or punishment came from above.

Only a soft, languid sound of footsteps slowly approached him.

A long, pale hand with distinct knuckles gently rested on Yun Jing's trembling shoulder.

"Oh dear, Lord Kumoi, what are you doing? Please get up, please get up."

"If outsiders saw this, they would think that I, a junior, was bullying you, a highly respected elder."

A gentle voice, tinged with a hint of flippancy, drifted down from above Yun Jing's head.

The sound was like a spring breeze rippled across the water, giving one a sense of inexplicable comfort and relaxation.

Yun Jing was stunned for a moment.

He carefully raised his head and looked up along the hand.

He was an exceptionally handsome young man with a sickly pale complexion.

He had long, slightly messy, dark green hair, with a few strands falling casually across his forehead, obscuring his narrow eyes.

Those eyes were filled with an unfathomable chill and gloom; just one glance was enough to send chills down your spine.

The moment Yun Jing saw that face clearly, his heart, which had relaxed a little, not only did not settle down, but instead became even more anxious!

It was even more terrifying than when I didn't know the other person's identity!

He recognized the person.

The other party was indeed from the Tsunayo family, and the kind of person he absolutely did not want to provoke.

The last seat of the Tsunayo branch family, a notorious and infamous figure in the Soul Society's noble circles!

"Tokita-sama...?!"

Yun Jing stammered out the other person's name, his voice trembling so much that even he felt pathetic.

Tsunayoshi Tokinada was a guy even he found terrifying.

This person is capricious and has been eccentric and violent since childhood.

He not only murdered his fellow Shinigami without any reason, but also trampled on the laws of Soul Society at will, relying on the power of the Tsunayo family.

Even a century ago, to satisfy his twisted desires, he brutally murdered the wife whom the head of the Tsunayoshi family had found to improve his bloodline...

After committing such a heinous crime, Team Thirteen did not punish Shi Tan, but simply allowed him to be symbolically placed under house arrest by his family.

In reality, they still lead a life of extravagance, debauchery, and reckless behavior.

This kind of depraved person who treats human life like dirt, even capable of murdering his own wife without any remorse...

How could Yun Jing dare to relax in front of him in the slightest?

Seeing the fear on Kumoi's face, a mocking glint flashed in Tsunayoshi Tokina's eyes, but he maintained his gentle smile on the surface.

He gently helped the old man up from the ground, saying, "Don't be so formal, Head of the Yunjing Family."

"We've been working together quite well lately, so why are you still so nervous when we talk?"

Shi Tan patted the dust off the hem of Yun Jing's kimono, speaking in a tone so intimate it was as if they were old friends despite their age difference.

The phrase "It's a pleasure to cooperate" made Yun Jing's heart tighten again.

Yes, he has indeed been secretly in contact with Tsunayoshi Tokinada recently.

In order to gain legitimate control over the Kasumioji family and to suppress his retainers who opposed him, Kumoi secretly initiated an experiment that was strictly forbidden within the Kasumioji family.

The development of the [Huoyao Blade].

It is an evil weapon that obtains power far exceeding its own limits by devouring the user's spiritual power and even soul.

However, to conduct this experiment, in addition to requiring an extremely large amount of funds and many rare spiritual materials that are under strict control, it is also necessary to...

They need secluded venues and access privileges, as well as a large and reliable protective umbrella.

And Tsunami Shigeaki Beach...

It was a collaboration that Yunjing, in a moment of desperation, approached...
