Chapter 69 The Great Battle
Chapter 69 The Great Battle
Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters.
"Cough cough..."
Upon hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki cough, Amane Ubuyashiki, who had just entered the room, immediately went over to help her husband.
Seeing the blood her husband coughed up, Ubuyashiki Amane felt even more heartbroken.
"Tianyin, is there any news about the children?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki paid no attention to his own injuries, only to the safety of the Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen.
"Since no trace of them has been found after they disappeared, they are probably either inside the bellies of evil spirits or shot dead."
Ubuyashiki Amane spoke with a heavy expression, causing Ubuyashiki Kagaya's eyes to darken.
"This is a change unprecedented in a thousand years. Muzan actually bowed down and cooperated with the military, which changed everything."
"My Demon Slayer Corps has been passed down for over a thousand years, but I never imagined it would end in my generation."
As he spoke, Kagaya Ubuyashiki became quite sorrowful.
He felt sorrow for his family and for the countless people who, over the past thousand years, had followed one another in an attempt to end the tragedy of the evil spirits, only to ultimately fail.
"Kagoya, we've tried our best."
After a pause, Ubuyashiki Amane said in a deep voice:
"Every generation has its own mission, and every generation has its own efforts."
We have tried our best, we have given it our all.
I believe that even if our generation fails, the next generation and the generation after that will surely succeed.
As long as our spirit is passed down and we haven't given up, we will eventually succeed!
Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's lips twitched, his eyes filled with sorrow.
Because the darkness before dawn is the most painful, and who knows how many people will die during that time?
"Has Zhu Du returned?"
Kagaya Ubuyashiki then asked the next question.
"The pillar is back; this is a stroke of good luck amidst misfortune."
The military is currently conducting a large-scale arrest of Demon Slayer Corps members. Anyone who resists arrest will be shot on the spot. Even the Demon Slayer Corps' Kasugai crows are among those targeted for capture.
Despite being able to talk and possessing great intelligence, the Kasugai, facing the island nation's skilled marksmen, was still just a crow.
"It's good that you're back. As long as you're alive, there's always a glimmer of hope."
Just as he was beginning to feel a little comforted, what Ubuyashiki Amane said next stunned Ubuyashiki Kagaya.
"Yaozai, a letter was tied to the leg of a raven that came back today."
The letter said they were demons who had escaped Muzan's control, named Tamayo and Yushiro.
Because they have an irreconcilable hatred for Muzan, they want to join forces with us to kill Muzan.
I checked the records of the Ubuyashiki family and found that hundreds of years ago, we had cooperated with a demon named Tamayo.
However, due to a lack of trust between the two parties, our cooperation has been interrupted until now.
I'm currently undecided about whether to continue this collaboration.
"Tamayo and Yushiro?"
Upon hearing these two names, Kagaya Ubuyashiki recalled reading about Tamayo in historical records, and a strange premonition immediately arose in his heart.
This inexplicable premonition told him that these two demons could be trusted, so Kagaya Ubuyashiki said:
"My intuition tells me these two are trustworthy. Let's arrange to meet somewhere."
Upon hearing this, Ubuyashiki Amane nodded in agreement after a slight surprise.
At that moment, Kagaya Ubuyashiki thought for a moment and said:
"Tianyin, we must establish three more bases, and the children should also be dispersed."
At the same time, multiple copies of cultivation manuals for different breathing techniques should be made and backed up simultaneously.
The enemies we face now are different from those before; in addition to the demons, there are also human soldiers from the military.
We must leave behind a legacy, a torch.
"I see."
Ubuyashiki Amane nodded gently, acknowledging her husband's decision.
Now, Muzan has extended an olive branch, willing to cooperate with the military to transform soldiers into demons.
This led to the military becoming Muzan's supporters, which gave Muzan a taste of success.
In the future, there is a high probability that Muzan will also transform the powerful and wealthy people of the island nation into demons, thereby gaining more support for Muzan.
If that's the case, then those families or groups that know or understand the Ubuyashiki clan...
He might actually betray the Demon Slayer Corps and the Ubuyashiki clan for his own and his family's benefit.
As a result, the Ubuyashiki clan's current headquarters is no longer safe and could be attacked by enemies at any time.
Therefore, just in case, it is indeed necessary to establish several backup headquarters so that there is still a way out in case of emergency.
At the same time, the secret manual for practicing the breathing method should be copied out to avoid the interruption of the transmission of the breathing method.
And so, Kagaya Ubuyashiki made his decision.
The establishment of a backup headquarters for the Demon Slayer Corps and the transcription of the Demon Slayer Corps' Breathing Techniques were thus decided.
Among them, Muichiro, who had already been promoted to Mist Pillar, received a request to copy his Mist Breathing Technique.
At the same time, Muichiro also learned the reason why this was done, which immediately put him in a dilemma.
The reason for the dilemma is that this is a great opportunity to seize the inheritance of the Demon Slayer Corps' Breathing Techniques.
However, because of the prophecy, he began to suspect that Li Ke was actually Muichiro, the world-destroying demon king.
He was torn between taking the opportunity to seize the Demon Slayer Corps' Breathing Techniques and whether to do so.
However, while Muichiro was struggling with his decision, Kagaya Ubuyashiki and Tamayo's meeting officially took place.
All I can say is that the whole process went quite smoothly.
Because of a premonition, Kagaya Ubuyashiki, who trusted Tamayo implicitly, showed great friendliness and sincerity.
He then personally persuaded Shinobu Kocho to join forces with Tamayo.
Together they developed a poison powerful enough to kill Muzan and artificially cultivated the Blue Spider Lily.
After all, if we want to lure Muzan over and kill him, we must use the blue spider lily as bait.
The cultivation of the blue spider lily has been the subject of hundreds of years of medical research and self-study.
Tamayo has many insights into the creatures of the demons and the legendary blue spider lily.
She believes that the blue spider lily should be related to the sun, or rather, to some kind of solar energy.
She suggested channeling the energy of the Nichirin Blade into the seeds of the spider lily to see if blue spider lilies could be artificially cultivated.
In order to enhance the strength of the Demon Slayer Corps, Tamayo explained the existence of the Demon Slayer Mark and the Crimson Blade to Kagaya Ubuyashiki.
The suggestion that the Demon Slayer Corps should have the ability to activate their Demon Slayer Mark and Crimson Blade naturally made the entire Demon Slayer Corps ecstatic.
Therefore, the Demon Slayer Corps immediately organized special training, attempting to activate their Demon Slayer Mark and Crimson Blade according to Tamayo's suggestion.
Let's see if there's any hope of activating the Demon Slayer Mark and the Crimson Blade, preparing for the future killing of Muzan.
However, unlike the original story, the three main characters did not participate in this special training.
After all, they were still several months away from participating in the Demon Slayer Corps assessment and had not yet become members of the Demon Slayer Corps, so they were naturally ineligible to participate in this special training.
But what no one noticed was...
A war that is destined to shock the island nation and the world is about to break out in the Kumotakeyama region.
