Calling for Help from Sishu / What Good Luck

Therefore, the three of them were the most level-headed among everyone present.

"That Crown Prince named Ayu is far more ruthless than his younger brother."

With a frown, Tengen Uzui commented.

"Without deploying a single soldier, relying solely on those civilians, they severely shook the Demon Slayer Corps' system."

As a ninja, he also used psychological tactics against his enemies.

Therefore, he was also the one who could best sense the terror of Ah Yu.

The person who can come up with such a bloodless method is definitely not a kind soul.

Thinking of this, Tengen couldn't help but break out in a sweat.

The usually enthusiastic Kyojuro was unusually quiet, instead discussing various plans with Himejima Gyomei.

Tanjiro was also discussing with Zenitsu Inosuke, hoping to find a way to ease the situation.

But in the end, they did not achieve the desired result.

This opponent is completely different from the ones before.

If they are facing a demon, they can also wield their Nichirin Blade and cut off its head.

But now the enemy is human, nobles, and the Crown Prince!

Having never encountered that level before, and having barely even heard of its name, they had absolutely no clue whatsoever.

Not only them, but even the usually Ubuyashiki Kagaya a dark cloud on his face at this moment.

If things continue like this, the Demon Slayer Corps will disband on the spot before long.

External pressures and internal ulterior motives have brought this centuries-old organization to the brink of collapse.

"What should we do?"

Chapter 565 Seeking Scribe

Even though Yaozai racked his brains, he still couldn't come up with an effective way to solve the problem at hand.

Whether in terms of manpower, material resources, financial resources, or other aspects, the Demon Slayer Corps is at a disadvantage.

Their only advantage is their strong individual combat ability.

But Ayu's scheme was precisely aimed at this point.

External pressure and internal divisions created significant obstacles for Yaozai in rallying the team's strength.

"Hateful!"

With a loud curse, Sanemi spoke to Tengen Uzui.

"Aren't you a ninja? Why don't you find a chance to sneak in and take care of Ayu?"

He glanced at Sanemi, but Tengen did not directly refute him.

Eliminating the leader is indeed the best option to dismantle a major power.

An enemy without a leader is often the easiest to defeat.

When he was still a ninja, Tengen used this method many times.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Yaozai.

I can take action myself, but I need to get the Master's permission first.

Yaozai understood the meaning in her eyes, but did not reply.

He didn't know how Yu learned about the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps, let alone knew so much about its important members.

Before the Demon Slayer Corps was exposed, no members of the Corps were captured or went missing.

Therefore, there is no way to obtain information by interrogating internal personnel.

Moreover, there is one thing he still doesn't understand.

Why would Yu, a human, target the Demon Slayer Corps?

The Ubuyashiki Family is a large family, and although they don't usually show off, they have been passed down for hundreds of years.

It's quite normal for such a large family to have a strange organization under its control.

Moreover, the Demon Slayer Corps was established to eliminate demons and is on the side of humanity.

But Ayu not only didn't support him, he showed complete disgust.

Judging from his posture, he intends to completely annihilate the Demon Slayer Corps no matter the cost.

"There shouldn't be any conflict of interest between us."

Just as he was racking his brains trying to figure it out, Mitsuri suddenly spoke up.

"I have a guess, but I don't know if it's correct."

Upon hearing this, Yaozai smiled slightly, signaling her to continue.

"After I left with Mister Scribe, we went to his company."

"There, we met a group of people who seemed to be sent by that Ah Yu."

"At first I didn't know why they came here, but later I asked and it seemed they wanted to capture the Mister Scribe alive. Ayu wanted to question him."

Hearing what Mitsuri said, the Kocho Sisters sitting to the side exchanged a glance and nodded slightly.

They also remembered that Zhuang Mu and his gang had indeed said that A Yu wanted to capture Scribe alive.

I was curious at the time why it was necessary to capture them alive.

Now, perhaps, is the time to solve this problem.

"Capture alive? Interrogate them?"

He raised his head and lightly rested his chin on his hand, a thoughtful expression on Yaozai's face.

"You mean, Yu knew a long time ago that Mister Scribe knew about the Demon Slayer Corps?"

"That's right, that explains why those people chose to capture the 'murderer' Mister Scribe alive."

Following this line of thought, Yaozai continued his analysis.

"I knew it all along; they'd been missing for a long time because of conflicts of interest with the Demon Slayer Corps."

As Yaozai listed out all the strange things about Ayu, a look of shock gradually appeared on his face.

"Could it be that Ah Yu has connections with ghosts, or even a cooperative relationship?!"

Only if he received some promise from the demons could it make sense why Yu, a human, would want to fight the Demon Slayer Corps.

This also explains where A-Yu went and what he did during the time he was missing.

"If we think about things in a more negative light, maybe Ayu is already a ghost."

Tomioka Giyu suddenly spoke, and his words silenced everyone.

Although there was no evidence to support his conjecture, those present felt that it was highly likely.

"No wonder, no wonder that guy was so cruel to us humans!"

Veins bulged on his forehead as Sanemi slammed his hand on the table, shattering it.

"Uzui, since the other party is a demon, you shouldn't feel any pressure now, right?"

"Of course, whether as a ninja or Demon Slayer Corps Member, this is my duty."

Pointing his thumb at himself, Tengen Uzui tilted his head slightly, a hint of pride on his face.

"Let me, in my magnificent form, use my magnificent ninjutsu to kill that demon."

"Tengen, don't be in such a hurry."

Raising his head, Yaozai said slowly.

"Let's confirm whether he is a ghost or not before deciding on the next plan."

Ultimately, the speculation that Yu is a ghost is merely a one-sided conjecture by Tomioka Giyu.

If so, that's fine; if not, then Tengen Uzui, who killed the Crown Prince, will be wanted by the authorities.

The Demon Slayer Corps would also be implicated as a result, and might even be disbanded.

"Okay, I understand."

Nodding, Tengen Uzui indicated that he would first investigate the other party's location and identity.

However, a new problem also arises.

Tengen Uzui's mission requires time, and that's exactly what the Demon Slayer Corps is lacking most right now.

If they spend a month investigating and find out that Yu is actually human, then the Demon Slayer Corps will have truly suffered a loss.

They need more than just a long-term solution; more importantly, they need to get through this immediate crisis.

"How about we ask Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals for help?"

Shinobu Butterfly suddenly spoke, stood up, and looked at everyone.

"As you all know, as long as that person returns, the Demon Slayer Corps will be safe and sound."

Although she didn't mention a specific name, everyone knew she was referring to the Scribe.

If the Scribe could return, it would undoubtedly be a shot in the arm for the Demon Slayer Corps.

But to this day, they still haven't found out the truth about that night.

The body was destroyed, leaving no way to verify the facts.

In addition, the Demon Slayer Corps is not good at gathering information from the human side.

The case, which was already difficult to investigate, is progressing at an incredibly slow pace.

Most importantly, the Scribe has made it clear that he will not be coming back.

At most, I'll help out once out of respect for the Kocho Sisters.

"Well..."

With a sigh, Yaozai shook his head slightly, a look of worry on his face.

"It's all my fault. I didn't arrange things properly for you all and didn't find out the truth of the matter."

"This is not your fault, my Master."

Tanjiro suddenly stood up, patted his chest, and said with some guilt.

"It's all because of me. I was too arbitrary that night and drove the Mister Scribe away."

"Now is not the time to discuss this issue."

He waved his hand, Yaozai to him not to blame himself.

"Now that this proposal has been put forward, let's raise our hands and vote."

As he spoke, he was the first to raise his hand.

"Those who think it is necessary to ask the Mister Scribe for help can raise their hands now."

No one spoke; in the silent room, hand after hand was raised.

Ultimately, it was approved by all members.

Chapter 566 What Good Luck

After deciding to seek help from the Scribe, the group began discussing where to find Scribe.

The last time I saw him was when Tsukishiki Pharmaceuticals was attacked.

After that parting, the Scribe went to the Shinri Family.

Subsequently, a massive explosion occurred at the Shinri Family.

The explosion had such a wide-ranging impact that it even covered the entire town.

From that day on, the Demon Slayer Corps never received any more news about the Scribe.
