Chapter 99 Meeting of the Demon Slayer Corps Pillars

After saying goodbye to Mitsuri Kanroji, Su Yan quickly followed Shinobu Kocho to the Demon Slayer Corps' headquarters.

A magnificent and luxurious mansion, as large as a castle.

"Lord Insect Pillar, and Lord Su Yan, please come with us."

As soon as they arrived at the gate of the mansion, two white-haired loli girls dressed in kimonos came out to greet Su Yan and his companion.

Judging from their appearance and makeup, the two little girls should be the two daughters of Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps.

"it is good."

Without much hesitation, Su Yan and Shinobu Kocho followed each other into the Ubuyashiki mansion.

After some guidance.

They successfully arrived at a courtyard within the mansion.

Aside from the Kamado family and Giyu Tomioka, whom he had parted ways with that morning, Su Yan saw quite a few familiar faces he had seen in anime before.

The towering, blind monk who wields a meteor hammer as his weapon, the Rock Pillar.

A scarred man with a fiery temper, known as the "Angry Man" or "Wind Pillar."

Despite being a ninja who uses gunpowder and ninjutsu to fight, he insists on calling himself the "Sound Pillar," a fancy guy who uses the Sound Breathing technique.

There was also a fiery owl, the Flame Pillar, with long, fiery-colored hair and large, bright red eyes that made it impossible to tell whether it was smiling or expressionless.

And most importantly, there was a man sitting alone opposite everyone, ugly in appearance, his face looking as if it had been scalded with boiling water.

The Demon Slayer Corps's Master, Kagaya Ubuyashiki!

"The Zhuhe Conference? Interesting."

Looking at the scene before him, Su Yan couldn't help but think of the scene in the anime where the nine pillars gathered together to judge Nezuko after she became a demon.

At this moment, just as at that moment.

The only difference is that there are a few fewer Pillar-level members present compared to the anime.

For example, Kanroji Mitsuri, whom they had only recently parted ways with and who had not yet had any contact with the Demon Slayer Corps.

And the Mist Hashira and Serpent Hashira, who joined the Demon Slayer Corps later.

"Brother Su Yan, you're here."

Nezuko, who was originally sitting next to Tanjiro, felt as if she had found her pillar of support the moment she saw Su Yan arrive.

He happily went up and hugged Su Yan, then pulled her to sit down next to him.

Tanjiro and his younger brother Shigeru Kamado, standing beside him, also returned the smiles of kindness to the man who had helped their family.

Only Hanako Kamado, the younger sister, timidly hid behind Tanjiro, clutching the hem of her brother's clothes.

Some people curiously peeked out to look at Su Yan, who was acting affectionately with her older sister, Ni Douzi.

"Welcome, guest from afar."

At this moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, spoke up.

Despite his ugly appearance, his voice was as refreshing as a mountain breeze.

It's like something that can warm people's hearts.

But Su Yan wasn't buying it.

Su Yan patted Nezuko's head and looked at the so-called Demon Slayer Corps leader, saying calmly, "So, where does your conversation stand now?"

"Brother Su Yan!"

Before Kagaya Ubuyashiki could answer, Nezuko couldn't help but speak up first, saying, "Their conclusion is that they said they'd do it because our family is preserving the Breath of the Sun for the Demon Slayer Corps."

"I promise not to harm Mom and the others, but they must be locked up and kept under strict guard."

"Oh? Is that so?"

Su Yan thought about it and realized that this outcome was much better than how the Demon Slayer Corps dealt with Nezuko in the anime.

After all, in the anime, both the former Water Pillar Urokodaki and the current Water Pillar Giyu Tomioka risked their lives to vouch for Nezuko.

This allowed Tanjiro to continue fighting alongside Nezuko, who had been transformed into a demon.

Su Yan glanced at Tanjiro and Nezuko and asked, "So, what are your own thoughts?"

"I----"

Tanjiro was about to speak when he was suddenly interrupted.

"In my opinion, no evil spirit is immune to eating people. Those transformed into man-eating demons should be ruthlessly slain!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa, the fiery hot pepper with several grotesque scars resembling centipedes on his face, stepped forward and interjected, "There's absolutely no need for such strict surveillance!"

"Anything that's an evil spirit deserves to die!"

Did I ask you?

Su Yan looked at Shinazugawa Sanemi and said coldly.

Su Yan also knew a little about the past of this Wind Pillar.

Because her mother killed her five brothers and sisters after becoming a demon, and when she tried to kill her and her remaining brother, she used the rare blood in her body to fight back and kill them. Therefore, she has a stronger hostility towards evil spirits than anyone else.

He was also the first Pillar in the anime to jump out and say that he wanted to kill Nezuko.

Su Yan felt sympathy for the other party's situation, but that was all.

Regardless of the circumstances, Kamado Aoi and the others were all turned into demons by their own hands using Muzan's demon blood.

Although it was mostly just to gain Nezuko's favor and to obtain the Breath of the Sun from Tanjiro.

But after all, I agreed to let them come with Giyu Tomioka to see the Demon Slayer Corps leader. If their family members are killed here...

Isn't this tantamount to slapping oneself in the face?

Therefore, it's natural not to expect Su Yan to have a pleasant expression towards the easily angered man in front of him.

"What? You want to fight me?"

Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was already like a powder keg when it came to dealing with demons, was even more explosive at the slightest provocation.

Su Yan waved his hand, somewhat bored, and said, "Forget it, you're too weak. Go play somewhere else."

He had already gained a considerable understanding of breathing techniques during his battle with Shinobu Kocho that morning.

Moreover, he wasn't the type to be a battle maniac, so he had no intention of fighting the breathing swordsman again.

Besides, this fiery hot pepper has already lost his mother and is quite pitiful, so we won't bully him.

"really."

Giyu Tomioka thought of Kiko Busujima, whom he had fought, and then he thought of the strength that Su Yan had shown when he fought Shinobu Kocho.

To prevent Shinazugawa Sanemi from continuing to provoke Su Yan and thus being taught a lesson by him.

He immediately agreed with Su Yan's statement.

Then, with a serious expression, he turned to Shinazugawa Sanemi and said, "He is different from you."

"You bastard."

As it turns out, Giyu Tomioka's actions were successful in some respects.

At least Sanemi Shinazugawa did not open his mouth to provoke Su Yan.

She simply turned her anger on Giyu Tomioka: "I've put up with you for too long! Giyu Tomioka!!"

"You've tolerated me for a long time? What do you mean?"

Yoshiyuki Tomioka, who is not good with words, expressed his incomprehension.

I was just telling the truth.

I don't think I said anything wrong, right?

"We're all comrades. In front of our lord, are you really going to fight amongst yourselves?"

The stone pillar placed his large hand on Shinazugawa Sanemi's shoulder, stopping him from doing so, and then said.

Seeing this, Shinazugawa Sanemi immediately realized what was happening and bowed his head, saying, "I apologize, my lord, for my rudeness."

"But our Demon Slayer Corps has always existed to hunt down evil demons."

"I cannot accept letting these evil spirits go free for this reason."

Seeing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki did not speak immediately, but instead looked at Su Yan.

"I said, aren't you guys mistaken about something?"

Seeing the unpleasant expression on Nezuko's face, Su Yan said somewhat impatiently, "I don't think I ever said I was going to hand them over to your Demon Slayer Corps, did I?"
