The Two Sides Join Forces to Surround Sishu
If we remove their master, Upper Rank Six Dichai, then only one option remains.
Upper Rank One, Kokushibo.
"You, you mean to say..."
Rokuya stammered out his guess, looking at Tonryoku with disbelief.
"Upper Rank One Lord is the user of Moon Breathing?"
"Right..."
Tonryoku wanted to nod, but suddenly felt a little dizzy.
A second later, the dizziness subsided, and I gradually regained consciousness.
Although Rokuya and the others noticed that something was wrong with Dichai, they thought he was just being mysterious.
As for Tonryoku himself, he subconsciously ignored this matter.
He coughed twice and then added.
"But that's not entirely true either."
"Lady Dichai once told me that the Moon Breathing has never had a successor from beginning to end."
"Upper Rank One is both the creator and user of the Moon Breathing."
After saying that, Tonryoku spread his hands out.
"Now, do you think you can still learn the Moon Breathing?"
Looking at the embarrassed and dejected faces of Rokuya and the other ghosts, Tonryoku couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.
Come to think of it, when did Lord Dichai tell me these things?
Gradually, a thoughtful expression appeared on Tonryoku's face.
No matter how hard he tried to recall, he couldn't remember when he learned about these things.
Just as he was feeling a bit irritated, a figure suddenly appeared from afar.
After a few leaps, it landed in front of the demons, including Tonryoku.
"Lord Dichai!"
Upon recognizing who was approaching, the Tonryoku immediately knelt down on one knee.
"Tonryoku, have the troops pack their things and prepare to leave."
"What? But sir, those swordsmiths have only just begun forging."
"It is Muzan Muzan's order."
Dichai glanced at Tonryoku and said coldly.
"If you have any objections, you can go and raise them with that person."
"No, but where are we going?"
Tonryoku quickly lowered his head and apologized for his offense.
Where to?
Her expression gradually turned cold, Dichai said in a cold voice.
"We're going to join forces with Ayu to besiege the Scribe."
Chapter 595 The two sides meet and besiege the Scribe.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing these words, a chill ran through Tonryoku's heart.
A siege?
Are you kidding me!
That's Scribe!
But Tonryoku also knew very well that Dichai, who seemed normal in front of him, was like a powder keg inside.
If I say no, I might just set the explosives barrel on fire.
When that time comes, you'll be the one who suffers.
"I hope Lord Dichai has some good ideas."
Despite feeling helpless, Tonryoku still went to find the swordsmiths and told them about his impending departure.
Before long, all the ghosts in the village were ready.
Led by Dichai, they headed towards the meeting point.
Meanwhile, the Scribe was speeding along the road.
He wasn't walking aimlessly; he was heading towards the Demon Slayer Corps Base.
Or rather, they were heading towards Ayu's troops.
After wiping out and capturing most of the Demon Slayer Corps' fighting force, Yu will definitely rush towards him as soon as possible.
If the two sides move towards each other, the time can be shortened even further.
But the Scribe was unaware that, in addition to Ayu, Dichai's secret legion was also on its way.
Kamikawa Prefecture.
As one of the top three most populous large towns, although not as Tokyo Metropolis, it still attracts a large influx of people every year.
But today is a little different.
A large number of refugees fled from Tokyo Metropolis to this place.
After finding lodging at a relative's house, the fugitive will soon be questioned.
"Nanako, what are you doing here? Aren't you in Tokyo Metropolis?"
"What? Demons Tokyo Metropolis, and they're even capturing people? Isn't that something the Demon Slayer Corps does?"
"Superhuman, say it again, what do you mean by someone killing all the ghosts with just a knife?"
Similar sentiments are being expressed throughout Kamikawa Prefecture, and more and more people are becoming aware of what is happening in Tokyo Metropolis.
"It's alright, it's alright. This place is far enough away from Tokyo Metropolis that no ghosts will come here."
Several days passed like this, and unlike in Tokyo Metropolis, no ghost-related incidents occurred in Kamikawa Prefecture.
Just when people thought the nightmare was over, Ayu arrived in the city.
The people of Kamikawa Prefecture cheered and were genuinely happy for the arrival of the Crown Prince.
Especially when they learned that Yu had defeated the Demon Slayer Corps, many people chose to send flowers to express their excitement and joy.
Ah Yu readily accepted and returned the favor with a smile.
Until someone raised this question.
"Your Crown Prince, I heard that His Majesty the Emperor died because someone cut off his head. Why are you so late in returning?"
An enraged Ayu ordered his men to take the man away and warned others not to say anything similar again.
People were surprised, surprised that the usually gentle Ah Yu had become like this.
Some radicals formed a group and approached Ayu, hoping that Ayu would let that poor guy go.
But the result was that these guys who formed the team had their arms and legs broken by Ayu and disappeared from then on.
People started to panic, thinking that Ah Yu had been provoked and his personality had changed drastically.
Amidst widespread panic, Dichai arrived in Kamikawa Prefecture with his secret army.
That night, no one knows what he and Ayu talked about.
The very next morning, large numbers of humans dressed in Demon Slayer Corps uniforms appeared on the streets and began wreaking havoc.
People resisted, fighting back with stones and homemade weapons.
Some of the wealthier people used muskets, and some even brought out explosives.
But what terrifies people is that these Demon Slayer Corps members are impossible to kill, no matter what they do.
Even with a broken leg, it won't scream; it can still swing its knife even when hit in the body; and even with a gaping hole blown open in its abdomen, it can still move freely.
In order to return to normal life as soon as possible, people have no choice but to turn to Ayu.
After receiving the news, Ayu promised to find the murderer soon.
As expected, Ayu quickly found the murderer.
A man covered in burns.
Ayu stated that his subordinates saw this man directing the Demon Slayer Corps monsters in their actions.
But when people asked for the man's name, Ah Yu said he was still investigating.
He appealed to the people of Kamikawa Prefecture to help him, and to notify him immediately once the man was found.
The people of Kamikawa Prefecture believed it.
From then on, Ayu and his men never left their post.
Even Dichai, who had joined him, never appeared again.
Until tonight, a man covered in burns arrived in Kamikawa Prefecture.
"This is the only way for Ayu."
After planning his route in his mind, the Scribe decided to stay here.
The long journey had left him tired and hungry, so he decided to go and get something to eat.
"Boss, a large bowl of noodles, I'd like, the wider ones."
Entering a noodle shop, Scribe sat down in a chair and ordered.
"Please hurry, I'm starving."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that the diners around him were looking at him strangely.
"Hmm? Are you afraid of my scars?"
Some doubts lingered in his mind, but the Scribe quickly realized that these people didn't care about his scars.
Or rather, they care more about themselves as a person.
His eyes revealed fear and apprehension, but also a hint of surprise.
The Scribe felt as if he had discovered a wanted criminal.
Gradually, diners left one after another.
A long time passed, and the boss still hadn't brought out the noodles that Scribe had ordered.
Just as the Scribe was about to urge him, the boss walked up to him.
With her hands behind her back, she asked somewhat fearfully.
"Sir, your outfit isn't painted on, is it?"
"It was a real burn, and it hurt a lot at the time."
"And where's your knife?"
"That's true, of course too."
His gaze gradually turned cold as the Scribe looked the boss up and down before speaking.
"You can't achieve that effect with the knife in your hand."
As soon as he finished speaking, the timidity on the boss's face vanished instantly.
With a face full of madness, he rushed towards the Scribe.
Two hands, held behind his back, were raised high, each holding a sharp kitchen knife.
"Bump!"
