Zongman: Capturing the goddess from Demon Slayer

“Let's go, up the mountain!” Lan Mingang said to Mi Li beside him.

The two took off again, flying towards a wooden house in the mountains.

Urokodaki Sakonji, who was outside planing wood to make a box for Nezuko, saw the two people flying down from the sky.

Even after decades of demon slaying, he was still shocked and stepped back, picking up the axe on the ground and looking warily at the two young men and women in front of him.

“Who are you?”

“Are you humans or demons? Or something else?”

“Leave quickly, or don't blame me for being merciless!”

Li, who was in the air, saw that Urokodaki Sakonji was about to attack Lan Mingang and Mi Li, landed on Mi Li's shoulder, and hurriedly said, “Stop! Urokodaki Sakonji!”

“They are both guests of the Master!”

“Put down your weapon, and don't be presumptuous!”

Urokodaki Sakonji was shocked, guests of Master Ubuyashiki Kagaya?

What a joke.

When Urokodaki Sakonji was a Pillar, he served Ubuyashiki Kagaya's father.

After his death, he retired and became a trainer.

Although he didn't have much contact with Ubuyashiki Kagaya.

But he was clear about Ubuyashiki Kagaya's strength. It was true that Ubuyashiki Kagaya had more charm than his father, but that didn't mean he could make someone with the ability of a celestial being a guest.

Although puzzled, he didn't sense any malice from Lan Mingang and Mi Li, so Urokodaki Sakonji had to put down the axe.

“May I ask what brings the two adults here?”

“Mr. Urokodaki, we are here to find Tanjiro and visit his sister.” Lan Mingang said.

What!

Hearing that Lan Mingang was here to find Tanjiro and visit Nezuko, Urokodaki Sakonji was shocked.

How did this person know that Tanjiro and his sister were here?

Seeing Urokodaki Sakonji become nervous again after hearing his purpose, Lan Mingang said:

“Mr. Urokodaki, don't be nervous, we have no malice, we are simply here to visit them.”

“I quite like Nezuko.”

“You really have no malice towards this brother and sister?” Urokodaki Sakonji asked.

“More genuine than real gold!” Lan Mingang smiled.

Urokodaki Sakonji was silent for a moment, then said:

“Alright, Tanjiro hasn't returned yet, Nezuko is inside the house, you probably understand her situation.”

“Of course, then let's take a look at Nezuko first.”

The three entered the wooden house. Inside the small wooden house, Nezuko was lying on a blanket, covered with a quilt, fast asleep.

Lan Mingang sat beside Nezuko, looked at Nezuko with a bamboo muzzle in her mouth, reached out and poked Nezuko's face, and said to Mi Li:

“Mi Li, she's as cute as you.”

Mi Li nodded and said:

“Yes, she is indeed very cute. But, Brother Mingang, why does she have a bamboo muzzle in her mouth?”

“To prevent her from eating people!” Lan Mingang said calmly.

“Eating people!?” Mi Li exclaimed.

Unexpectedly, she had encountered another beautiful female demon.

If there were no accidents, this Nezuko would become one of her sisters in the future.

At this thought, Mi Li's eyes showed a trace of concern for Nezuko.

Lan Mingang reached out and placed his hand on Nezuko's forehead, stroking her hair as he began to talk about Nezuko's past.

A seemingly ordinary and happy family, but the only successor of the 'Sun Breathing' in the world.

“Ah? The Tanjiro family is a successor of Sun Breathing?” Urokodaki Sakonji was dumbfounded.

He didn't expect Tanjiro to have such a big background.

“That's not right, if Tanjiro is a successor of Sun Breathing, why doesn't he know Sun Breathing?” Urokodaki Sakonji asked in confusion.

“Don't worry, Mr. Urokodaki, listen to me slowly.”

Afterwards, Lan Mingang continued to tell about the Tanjiro family.

Although they were successors of Sun Breathing, after hundreds of years of evolution, the breathing technique had long been transformed into a kind of sacrificial dance—the Hinokami Kagura.

The previous successor of the Sun Breathing technique, that is, Tanjiro's father, had not yet passed the Hinokami Kagura to Tanjiro when he died of illness.

One and a half years ago, one day, Tanjiro went out to sell charcoal and sold it until night. On the way home, an elderly man living alone forcibly kept him, claiming that there would be demons at night, and asked him to stay in his house and not return home.

That night, Muzan Kibutsuji, who was conducting a large-scale demon transformation experiment, passed by the location of the Kamado family. Tanjiro's mother, three younger brothers, and two younger sisters were all killed by Muzan Kibutsuji and injected with demon blood.

In the end, only one person turned into a demon and survived, and that was Nezuko.

Although Nezuko turned into a demon and lost most of her memories from her human period, after encountering Tanjiro, she was awakened by some childhood memories.

Recognizing that the other party was her brother, she resisted eating Tanjiro.

To this day, a year and a half has passed, and Nezuko has never eaten any humans, using sleep to replace recovery.

Not only that, but Nezuko's special feature is that although she was turned into a demon by Muzan Kibutsuji, she is not subject to Muzan Kibutsuji's monitoring and control.

......

Outside the house, Tanjiro, who had already returned, was about to enter and say hello when he heard someone visiting, but stopped when he heard the other party talking about his past.

He had been listening outside the house to Lan Mingang talking about his affairs.

Tanjiro clenched his fists, his forehead veins popping out.

It's been a year and a half, and he finally knew the murderer who killed his mother, younger brothers, and younger sisters!

Muzan Kibutsuji!

You! Unforgivable!!!

“Tanjiro, come in, I still have something to ask you.” Sensing Tanjiro, Lan Mingang looked towards the location where Tanjiro was outside the house and said.

Tanjiro walked into the wooden house.

Without saying a word, he bowed directly to Lan Mingang and knelt down:

“Please tell me the location of Muzan Kibutsuji!”

This person was so clear about his past, then he must know the whereabouts of Muzan Kibutsuji.

“Bastard!” Urokodaki Sakonji, who had already regarded Tanjiro as his family, saw that Tanjiro actually wanted to find Muzan Kibutsuji for revenge.

How is this different from seeking death.

Not only that, but he actually knelt down to ask someone for help.

Where the hell did your backbone go?

Urokodaki Sakonji shouted angrily:

“With your current strength, even if you know the whereabouts of Muzan Kibutsuji, can you defeat him?”

“Get up!”

Urokodaki Sakonji took out a wooden stick and whipped it on Tanjiro's back.

Tanjiro remained unmoved.

Looking at Tanjiro kneeling towards him, Lan Mingang was a little disappointed, got up and came to Tanjiro and said:

“When Tomioka Giyu wanted to kill Nezuko, you seemed to be begging him like this, right?”

“Have you forgotten what he said to you back then?”

Lan Mingang stepped on Tanjiro's head.

Bang, the wooden floor shattered directly, and Tanjiro's forehead knocked a hole in the floor.

“Alas, it's been a year and a half, and you're still so cowardly.”

Lifting his foot, Lan Mingang sat back beside Nezuko.

“Tanjiro, I'll give you a chance to reorganize your words, tell me what you... want to do?”
