After successfully subduing Kokushibo, Nalan Sheng once again ordered Nakime, "Nakime, summon Akaza!"

"Thump!"

Nakime nodded slightly and plucked the lute in her hand once more.

"Bang!"

Suddenly, a Japanese-style wooden door appeared out of thin air, and Akaza, dressed in a purplish-red short shirt and covered in blue tattoo patterns, landed in front of Nalan Sheng and the others.

"Lord Muzan!"

After Akaza appeared in the Infinity Castle, he ignored Nalan Sheng and the others, and instead knelt down on one knee before Muzan.

Because Kokushibo's strength far surpasses that of the other Upper Moons, his relationship with Muzan is not simply that of superior and subordinate, but more like that of partners.

Akaza, being Muzan's true subordinate, naturally dared not show the slightest disrespect to him.

Before Akaza could even stand up from the ground, Muzan suddenly pointed at Nalan Sheng with a blank expression and said, "Akaza, from now on he will be your new master."

"What? Lord Muzan, this..."

"Akaza, are you trying to disobey my orders?"

Muzan gave a cold snort of dissatisfaction, and a powerful pressure immediately swept towards Akagami's seat.

"Pfft pfft pfft..."

Akaza felt his body sink, followed by countless cracks appearing on his skin, and streams of blood gushing out, instantly turning him into a blood-soaked figure.

"Your subordinate wouldn't dare!"

Sensing the undisguised killing intent emanating from Muzan, Akaza dared not say anything more and quickly knelt on one knee before Nalan Sheng, saying, "Greetings, Lord."

"Now that you have acknowledged me as your master, I will give you a small gift as a token of our greeting!"

As soon as Nalan finished speaking, he raised the horse talisman again and shot a blue beam of light towards Yiwozuo.

Enveloped in blue light, Akaza's tattoos quickly faded, and his peach-pink hair turned black again, instantly transforming him into a normal human.

However, Akaza, who had transformed back into a human, did not show any joy; instead, he displayed an expression of immense pain.

Because Akaza regained his memories of his human form as he transformed back into a human.

Akaza realized that he had nothing left to protect, yet he continued to seek to become stronger, engaging in hundreds of years of meaningless killing.

Akaza knew that he was too sinful to reach the place where his father, master, and Koyuki were after his death.

Moreover, his actions over the years have tarnished his master's techniques and disobeyed his father's dying wish, so Akaza now only wants to atone with his death.

Just as Akaza was about to smash his own head open with his fist, Nalan Sheng suddenly spoke up: "Akaza, do you want to resurrect Renxue?"

"you……"

Akaza's pupils constricted sharply, and he asked expectantly, "My...Lord, do you have a way to revive Koyuki?"

Not yet.

Nalan Sheng first shook his head, then changed the subject and said, "However, just because I cannot revive Lianxue now does not mean that I will not be able to revive her in the future."

As my strength grows, I will awaken more and more abilities in the future, and perhaps one day I will awaken the ability to resurrect the dead.

Just like how I turned you from a ghost back into a human just now, this is also one of the abilities I've awakened.

Of course, I can't guarantee when I'll be able to awaken the ability to resurrect the dead.

It may only take a few more years to awaken that ability, or it may take hundreds of years.

If you are willing to serve me forever, I will definitely help you revive Lianxue if I awaken that ability in the future.

If you don't want to, I can give you a ride, but there's something I need to remind you of.

A kind-hearted girl like Lianxue will surely go to heaven after she dies.

But you have committed countless murders over the years, and you will only go to hell after you die. There is no way you will see Lianxue in hell.

Alright, Akaza, tell me your choice!

Do you want to die like a coward, or do you want to live on with the hope of resurrecting Lianxue?

"My lord, I wish to revive Lianxue."

Rekindled with fighting spirit, Akaza declared with unwavering determination, "Even if the hope is slim, I will never give up!"

Normally, Akaza would never believe that someone could resurrect the dead.

However, Nalan Sheng's situation was rather special. He had simply raised his hand and unleashed a blue light, which turned Yiwozuo back into a human.

If Akaza hadn't witnessed it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed that a demon could turn back into a human.

Therefore, Akaza is willing to take a gamble; even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance of reviving Koyuki, he will never give up.

"Good, that makes you look more like a man."

Nalan Sheng nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Nakime and said, "Send over all the Upper Moon demons except for Doma!"

"Thump!"

Upon hearing this, Nakime plucked the wooden lute in her hand once more.

Soon, three Japanese-style wooden doors appeared out of thin air, and Hantengu, Gyokko, and the siblings Daki were all teleported to Nalan Sheng's presence.

Compared to Akaza, Hantengu and the others are much easier to subdue; you just need to defeat them until they submit.

With his absolute strength, Nalan Sheng easily subdued Bantian Gou and the others, and then had Nakime teleport Nightmare over.

"Thump!"

Accompanied by a clear pipa sound, Nightmare, dressed in a long black coat and white striped trousers, landed in front of Nalan Sheng and the others.

Although Enmu is only a Lower Rank demon, his Blood Demon Art is more practical than that of many Upper Rank demons.

Nightmare's Blood Demon Art can force opponents into sleep and allows her to manipulate their dreams at will.

A person pulled into a nightmare can only wake up by committing suicide in the dream.

In the original story, Tanjiro and the others were on the Mugen Train when Enmu pulled them into a dream world, and they were almost wiped out in one fell swoop.

Unfortunately, Nightmare himself is weak in combat; he is a support-type talent and not particularly strong in one-on-one combat.

If Muzan had been able to equip Enmu with an Upper Rank demon as a teammate, they might have been able to wipe out the entire Demon Slayer Corps.

After all, Nightmare's control ability is too strong. Unless you are prepared in advance, even a Pillar-level powerhouse will be instantly pulled into the dream.

Once a Pillar-level powerhouse falls into a deep sleep, it will undoubtedly be instantly killed under the combined attack of the Upper Moon Demons.

"Master Wuhan~"

After recovering from the teleportation, Nightmare first glanced at Nalan Sheng and the others, then turned her gaze to Muzan, revealing a lovestruck expression.

"..."

Upon seeing this, Nalan Sheng's lips twitched slightly.

Although Enmu is a man, he is extremely obsessed with Muzan.
