The Capture List and Tengen's Rescue of His Wife
Compared to the ghosts left behind, that guy was much smarter.
Seeing the Samurai Demon yelling and running away into the distance, the Ape Demon's expression froze instantly.
They were fine just a moment ago, how come they suddenly abandoned us and ran away in the blink of an eye?
Where is your dignity as a ghost? Didn't you claim that you could enter the Twelve Kizuki?
Ghost friends are connected to you, but you play mind games with us.
Sweet talk, just fooling your own family here.
Even though the Ape Demon was cursing the Samurai Demon in his heart, it couldn't change the fact that he had run away.
"What a piece of trash. He has great strength, but he's such a coward."
He shook his head and then looked at the Scribe.
Where are they?
The Ape Demon was stunned for a moment as it watched the Scribe disappear.
They were standing there just a moment ago, how did they disappear in such a short time?
Could it be that the attack just now consumed too much energy, and now he's hiding?
The more the Ape Demon thought about it, the more convinced he was that his guess was correct.
He was well aware of Fat Demon's strength, which was only below Samurai Demon and himself.
That human must have paid a considerable price to kill it with a single strike.
"Hehehe, I knew it. Humans are weak, pitiful and helpless creatures."
He grinned and couldn't help but admire his own cleverness.
Even as he thought about this, he didn't forget to make a plan in his mind.
After dealing with that man, I must report the cowardice of the Samurai Demon to that lord.
The best course of action would be to use that person to make Lady Dichai disappointed in the Samurai Demon, so that I could take his place.
"With such a clever mind, coupled with my powerful strength, I'm sure I'll be the next one to become one of the Twelve Kizuki."
Just as I was filled with fantasies about a bright future, a dark shadow suddenly came crashing down on me.
With a tilt of its head, the Ape Demon dodged.
"What the hell?"
Curious, the Ape Demon stared wide-eyed.
It was a head, and the face was so familiar that it belonged to one of the ghosts present.
Now he looked terrified, his face filled with regret and fear.
How did this guy, who was so aggressive just a moment ago, suddenly become like this?
It turned into ashes, and before long, the head vanished into thin air.
A bad premonition came over him, and the Ape Demon looked directly at where the other demons were.
Upon seeing this, he screamed in terror.
Apart from him, all the other ghosts had fallen to the ground.
Without exception, their heads were severed and fell to the ground, turning into balls.
A familiar figure stood amidst the pile of corpses, silently watching him.
"You!"
Trembling, the Ape Demon stretched out its finger, unable to believe what it was seeing.
Eleven ghosts, a full eleven ghosts!
Without the Demon Slayer, these ghosts would be enough to easily destroy the Entertainment District.
Such a powerful force was actually wiped out by this man?
Silently and without warning, he didn't even realize how the other party made their move.
"Hehehe, you're awesome, you're strong, you beat these guys so badly they're yelling."
A fawning voice rang out, and then the figure of the Dog-headed Demon appeared.
His body was covered in burn marks, and his hair was blackened by the smoke.
Even the ghost's exceptional regenerative abilities didn't seem to be able to help him recover in a short time.
Even so, the Dog-headed Demon seemed oblivious, continuing to shower the dog with compliments.
The man glanced at the Dog-headed Demon, waved his hand, and gestured for him to stand aside.
"Okay, okay."
The Dog-headed Demon clasped his hands together and rubbed them together, then gave what he thought was a flattering smile before walking toward a corner.
As he turned his head, he didn't forget to look at the Ape Demon with a complicated expression.
I'm going to die.
Although there was no conversation, the Ape Demon could still sense that the aura of death had already approached it.
In the critical moment, he shouted loudly.
"Wait a minute, please wait a minute!"
He knelt down with a thud, kowtowing as he called out to the Scribe.
Spare my life, and I'll surely be of use.
Upon seeing the man pause for a moment, the Ape Demon was overjoyed.
"You kept that dog's head because you wanted to get important information out of him, right?"
"That guy isn't very strong, and he doesn't know much either."
"I know a lot of things that can definitely help you. Just spare my life, and I'll tell you everything!"
Seeing that the Ape Demon was saying such things to save his own life, the Dog-headed Demon became somewhat anxious.
The Scribe's knife strike just now had completely shattered all his beautiful illusions.
Right now, all he wants to do is live a little longer.
The Ape Demon's actions were undoubtedly a struggle with itself for that tiny chance of survival.
If I don't fight for it, Scribe is persuaded, then the Nichirin Blade will sever my neck.
"You little monkey, what nonsense are you spouting? What do you mean I'm weak?"
"When I was working for Lord Dichai, you weren't even a ghost."
With a cold snort, the Ape Demon retorted.
"Joining early doesn't mean you're strong. If you were truly useful, would you have been surpassed by me and that Samurai Demon?"
"A mongrel is a mongrel, stop barking!"
For a moment, the two ghosts started spitting at each other in a fight for the chance to survive.
If it weren't for the existence of the Scribe, they might have used Blood Demon Art to kill each other.
Seeing this, the Scribe did not make a move.
Such a novel and rare sight is quite a sensation in the entire history of ghosts.
After thinking for a moment, he walked directly to the group of geishas.
Amidst the flashing blades, the ropes binding them were all severed.
"You are safe now."
The geishas, though initially confused, quickly thanked the man before them.
"Sir, are you the gentleman who brought someone to Hagimoto House?!"
A slightly hoarse voice rang out, filled with surprise.
"Who are you?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, the Scribe asked the geisha.
"Are you from Hagimoto House?"
"Yes, I used to work at Hagimoto House."
After explaining her identity, the geisha continued.
"I have something to tell you, sir, about those two girls you gave me!"
Upon hearing this, the Scribe frowned.
The information about Koume and Nezuko is exactly what he needs right now.

"Go ahead and tell me."
With a wave of his hand, the Scribe signaled the geisha to continue speaking.
Taking a deep breath, a hint of fear flashed in the geisha's eyes, as if she had recalled something frightening.
"The story begins after the shop opens tonight."
Through this geisha, the Scribe also learned a little about what happened at Kyogoku House -ya today.
Like the Kyogoku House, Toki-ya was also invaded and massacred by demons.
The only difference is that the attacks they received came from within.
It's Warabihime!
The originally beautiful and gentle Warabihime suddenly transformed into a demon, wantonly slaughtering everyone in Kyogoku House.
If it weren't for Nezuko's intervention, Kyogoku House probably wouldn't have survived.
Even so, only a small number of people survived and managed to escape.
This geisha was one of them, but she was unlucky enough to be caught by the Fat Demon.
According to her, when she last saw Nezuko and the others, they were already suppressed by the demon that Warabihime had transformed into.
As for the final outcome, she didn't know.
"I only dared to glance at it from a distance, and then I ran away."
Swallowing hard, the geisha trembled all over.
The Scribe nodded and said.
"It's alright, this is enough for me."
He wasn't worried about Nezuko's safety; after all, being with Koume was already the best protection for her.
With the information from this geisha, the Scribe had a general understanding of the current situation.
I'm on one side, Nezuko and Koume are together.
Tanjiro and Inosuke should have already reunited, and he's not worried about Tengen Uzui.
As for Koinatsu, barring any unforeseen circumstances, with Gyutaro protecting her, her life should be safe.
All that remains are Zenitsu, who was captured, and Tengen's three missing wives.
"Did you kidnap Zenitsu, or do you have other plans?"
With a thoughtful expression, the Scribe's mind raced.
But no matter how he thought about it, he always felt that something was missing.
"Perhaps that guy can give me some inspiration."
Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and the Scribe stood up and said to the Dog-headed Demon.
"Hey, come here for a second."
