Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba: The Second Sun after the Nation

"So can you explain to me why? Why can't you even do such a small thing! If you still have room to deal with Blue Higanbana and Ubuyashiki, then what about the blue swordsman? A guy who often hangs around under your noses, you can't even kill him, and even lost one. In the past, I only suspected that the lower-level strength needed to be eliminated by me, but that group of ghosts have already done all these things. But now, should I doubt it and replace the upper-rank with a group of people?"

Muzan looked at the demons standing below him who seemed to be about to make noise again, but did not continue to let them make noise. Instead, he released his powerful aura, scaring the upper ranks to kneel on the ground. After all, if they were slower, they would lose their heads.

"Lord Muzan, please calm down. I will definitely give you my best efforts as soon as possible for your goal. Recently, I can feel that there are many more spies in Hana-gai. There must be a pillar who wants to clear this area. As long as I reveal myself, I can pull out the pillar hiding in the dark, and then catch him, forcing your target to appear. Then the arrest will be foolproof."

Daki's whole body was shaking, because she was the weakest. In order to prevent herself from being completely crushed by this irresistible momentum, she decided to tell everyone her findings before anyone else spoke, if for no other reason than to save her life.

"That guy killed Akaza. Daki, are you sure you can catch him? You know, I always hate people who talk big. After all, the big words you said to me were not meant to be fulfilled." Muzan was still angry, but when he heard that there was a chance to catch Ji Zhuyu, although he was a little skeptical, perhaps it was the fear that took over. He retracted his momentum a little, but he still looked cold. He stared at Daki and asked coldly.

"I... I can guarantee that those guys from the Demon Slayer Corps definitely don't know the secret between my brother and me, so as long as they have bargaining chips in their hands, they will definitely send out their strongest people to hunt us down. When the time comes, Master Muzan, you can just summon the other Upper Rank Karakurgans."

Although Daki felt that the air pressure around her suddenly lightened a lot, the force coming from her neck told her that if she couldn't give a good answer at this moment, her death might be even more miserable than before.

"You'd better do what you say, Daki. As long as you succeed, then after you come back from this mission, you will replace Akaza and become the new Upper Three. Don't let me down..." Muzan finally smiled, because he just thought of a better way. Rather than using Daki who might fail at any time, he would rather take advantage of Ji Zhuyu's lack of reaction and directly drag him into the Infinite Castle, and then slowly torture him until he dies under the burden. Only in this way can he relieve the hatred in his heart.

Daki opened her mouth and breathed in the rouge-scented aroma in her room. When people are extremely frightened, the familiar smell can make them feel more at ease than the fresh fear. Recalling the expression on Muzan's face when he said not to let him down, Daki felt panicked but also felt endless excitement. She truly turned fear into strength.

"Miss, are you listening? It's time to work..." There was a sudden knock on the door, interrupting Du Ji's thoughts. A fierce look flashed across her eyes, and then she curled up an extremely presumptuous smile, walked forward and slowly opened the door.

"Yeah, it's time to work."

"When did you become so close to Tengen Uzui? You've been training alone with him for a long time. Although I know that the title I got this time was to relieve your pressure, I am under a lot of pressure, okay? After all, you are the instigator of the incident, you can't just do it alone."

Ji Guoyanghui looked at the big pits on the martial arts field, the corners of her mouth twitching slightly. When she was practicing with others over there just now, she also heard the noise here. She originally wanted to pull herself over to take a look at any time, but she was surrounded by a group of people and she was really powerless.

"Of course I have to take good care of Uzui Tengen. After all, he said that the demon hiding there seems to be an upper-rank. You should know very well, Yanghui, that even the lowest-level upper-rank is very different from the no-rank. But it is also very difficult for Uzui Tengen and his men to fight alone. We have our own tasks and it is impossible for us to be with them all the time, so we can only let them increase their strength in advance. How can we make them grow in strength? Wei was also beaten up, wasn't he?"

Ji Zhuyu looked at the commotion he and Yusui Tengen had caused, shrugged his shoulders and gestured to the hidden team members who were hiding and watching the battle. After finding someone to repair everything here, he seemed to explain with a helpless look.

"Besides, Yang Hui, with your strength, even if a group of people come to beat you up, you will only be able to do little, right? Anyway, I didn't see you get hurt."

"But that's not why you asked seven people to fight with me. Besides, you know my strength. If I were really injured, the wound would have healed before you saw it."

"But you don't really get hurt unless you do it on purpose, right?"

"You're talking as if you're not the same. If you come here a few more times, Tanjiro will become like Xiao Huai sooner or later."

"That's impossible. I know the kid I saved. Even if he has seen a lot and is used to my injuries, he will definitely care about me. But compared to Xiao Huai's concern, he won't be so harsh on me. Besides, Muichiro, Youchiro, Kanroji, the Butterfly Sisters, Kyojuro, and Iguro won't have much impact on you, right? After all, they are used to fighting alone, so it might be difficult for them to cooperate."

"You're wrong. They actually cooperated quite smoothly. Unfortunately, just like you said, most of them were used to it and trusted their own abilities too much. So many times they didn't make the best judgment for the team. It can be said that they suffered heavy losses."

"Just practice more. They still have time. After all, the plan will not start for some time..."

"But I don't have time. I will leave tomorrow. If it's him, he should know where to wait for me. I shouldn't let them wait too long because they have already waited too long for him and them."
