Infinite: Start as a ghost

"Because as a doctor, I have not only overcome Muzan's curse, but I am now researching how to overcome the problem of sunlight."

"Although I don't know how long it will take, success is only a matter of time."

"As for your poison, do you think I have no way to deal with it?"

"When I overcome the sunlight, how will you face me?"

Butterfly was even more confused.

Chapter 65 Action

Another month has passed in the blink of an eye.

Jiang Jiu increased the purity of her blood to 40% by absorbing ghost blood through a mission, but could not increase it any further.

"It seems we'll have to rely on the blood of the lower moon to increase its purity next," Jiang Jiu murmured.

"System, open the properties interface."

[Host: Jiang Jiu]

Race: Oni (Intermediate)

Strength: 160 (average for the average person is 10)

Physical fitness: 210 (average for the average person is 10)

Agility: 135 (average for the average person is 10)

[Mental state: 85 (average for the average person is 10)]

Blood purity: 40%

"Strength is increasing at a moderate rate, physique is increasing very quickly, agility is improving at a slower rate, and is it really that hard to improve mental strength?"

“Mr. Oni, I have good news,” Yaozai said.

"What news?" Jiang Jiu asked.

“We have a clue that might be related to the spider lily,” Yaozai said with a smile.

"Really?" Jiang Jiu asked excitedly, then asked doubtfully, "We agreed before that you wouldn't give me the Spider Lily, so why are you telling me this?"

Kagaya laughed and said, "Because I have always believed in you."

Jiang Jiu was somewhat moved.

Then Kagaya continued, "But don't get too excited yet, it's just a suspicion, it's not certain yet."

Jiang Jiu was also mentally prepared.

How can something that has never actually appeared in the entire Demon Slayer series be so easy to find?

"In addition, all nine pillars are ready and can be mobilized at any time."

"Really? That's great!" Jiang Jiu said happily. "Where are they now?"

“They’re all waiting at the Butterfly Mansion,” Kagaya said. “The Insect Pillar’s ​​house is the biggest, so it’s the most suitable place for them to wait.”

“Okay, I’ll be right there.” Jiang Jiu said goodbye to Yao Zai.

Before leaving, Kagaya added, "When you return, I will hold a promotion ceremony for you, and then you will truly become a Pillar, the tenth Pillar of our Demon Slayer Corps."

When he returned to the Butterfly House, he found Nine Pillars waiting for him.

Kanao, the adopted daughter of the Insect Pillar, is personally entertaining them.

Tamayo's absence is likely because people haven't fully accepted her yet, so she's temporarily avoiding meeting them.

"Hey, Giyu, long time no see," Jiang Jiu greeted. "Haven't seen you since the Pillar Meeting, have you? How's Mr. Urokodaki doing lately?"

"I don't know, I haven't seen him in a long time either," Yi Yong said indifferently.

Sanemi kept staring at him with displeasure.

Xingming didn't know why he started crying again.

Tengen had a big smile on his face, his expression exactly the same as Kyojuro's, but he kept fiddling with various poses.

Kyojuro crossed his arms, a wide smile on his face, his eyes bulging like lanterns.

Mitsuri seemed to be thinking about something, her eyes darting around, her face slightly flushed.

Muichiro stared blankly at the ceiling.

Obanai the Serpent Pillar had a mysterious look in his eyes as he kept scanning everyone back and forth.

“Let’s go. We’ll arrive at Nata Spider Mountain by tomorrow during the day, and we can use the daytime to make some simple preparations,” Jiang Jiu said.

"Why should I listen to you?" Shinazugawa said unhappily.

“Shall we set up some elaborate traps? Hmm, as a ninja, I’m best at that,” Tengen said.

“Ah, yet another life is about to vanish from this beautiful world. How pitiful, how tragic,” Xingming said.

“Yes, let’s go,” Kyojuro said.

Butterfly O Ren distributed the poison to everyone one by one, and finally looked at Jiang Jiu with a complicated and guilty look.

The others remained silent and immediately set off.

That night, they all went to the old woman's house to rest for the night.

They arrived the next day.

The others stayed at the foot of the mountain, while only Yu Sui Tian Yuan and Jiang Jiu went up.

As night fell, everyone held their breath and carefully made their way up the mountain.

Somewhere in the mountains...

The sick leaf (the third in line) said, "Alright, the sun has set, we can go out now."

Kamae (the sixth of the Lower Moon rank) asked, "Ray, what do you want to talk about by calling us here?"

Lingyu (fourth in the Lower Moon) asked, "Huh? Didn't Yanmeng come?"

The Roc (second in the lower rank) remained silent, scrutinizing Lei with a critical look.

Lei (the fifth in the Lower Moon) answered Yu Lingzi's question first: "He said he wasn't interested and didn't want to come."

Then he said seriously, "You know this is my territory, and the Demon Slayer Corps knows it too, so I was targeted for extermination."

Fu Nue asked, "You suspect that one of us betrayed you and leaked your information?"

“No, let me finish,” Lei said. “My entire family was murdered.”

Bingye said, "You don't mean you want us to help you get revenge, do you? You're so pathetic."

The lulu shouted, "Shut up, everyone! Don't interrupt, let Lei finish speaking!"

Lei nodded to the wheelchair and continued, "Originally, I would have died at that person's hands too. But that person wasn't human... but a ghost, just like us."

Their eyes flickered a few times.

“I should have died, but he spared me,” Lei said.

"Why?" Yu Lingzi asked.

“He said,” Lei continued, “Our lord wants to cancel the lower moon and only keep the upper moon.”

"The reason he betrayed Lord Muzan was because he knew that following the lord would mean certain death sooner or later."

Chapter 66 The Demise of the Lower Moon

"Impossible." Bingye immediately denied it: "What is your reason for doing this, my lord?"

Lei shook his head and said, "I don't know, that's why I asked you to come and discuss it with me."

Lulu said, "Didn't you say that person was supposed to come? Where is he?"

Just then, Jiang Jiu appeared: "You're here."

Jiang Jiu's sudden appearance immediately put all the lower moons (except for Lei) on edge.

Because he was wearing the Demon Slayer Corps uniform and had a Nichirin Blade hanging at his waist.

Most importantly, none of the five Lower Moons saw how he got there.

Jiang Jiu removed his straw hat and hood, revealing his true face.

"Humans?" Yu Lingzi asked in surprise.

“No,” said Lulu, “Although he does look human, his scent doesn’t lie; he is indeed a ghost.”

After the windmill explained, everyone sensed it and felt a little more at ease.

"So it was you who slandered our lord?" Bingye's eyes flashed with murderous intent.

"Come on, don't try to show off your loyalty in front of me," Jiang Jiu said. "We're all ghosts, do you think I don't understand your psychology?"

“If our lord is injured and you have the opportunity to devour him, I don’t believe you would let such an opportunity pass you by.”

Everyone's gaze towards Jiang Jiu changed; they dared not say such things openly.

"What makes you say that our lord intends to cancel the Lower Moon?" Bingye asked. "Where's the evidence?"

Kamae then asked, "Not only that, you've also joined the Demon Slayer Corps. What are you planning to do?"

They did not deny Jiang Jiu's statement, but instead changed the subject.

"On what grounds?" Jiang Jiu asked, "Did you know that our lord recently issued an order to all ghosts to hunt down a boy with a sun-patterned earring?"

The five ghosts looked at each other, but no one knew.

Lei suddenly remembered: "Wait a minute, are you talking about that boy with the ghost sister?"

“That’s right, it’s him.” Jiang Jiu continued, “Then the question is, why were all the demons given the order, but you Lower Moon demons didn’t know?”

"Who can prove what you're saying? You just say it's true?" Bingye said. "How do I know if you're lying to us?"

Jiang Jiu countered, "And the purpose?"

"Purpose?" Lulu suddenly stood up. "Kid, you're not planning to surround us and wipe us out in one fell swoop, are you?"
