Demon Slayers of Mount Sagiri

With Ayu dead, it means that Dichai has lost his partner.

The Shinri Family, who should have been at a disadvantage, now had the opportunity to compete with Dichai.

"Huiren, are you sure this news is correct?!"

When asked further by the Family Patriarch beside him, Makoto's eyes gleamed with excitement.

"That's right, Ancestor."

He nodded, a mysterious smile appearing on Huiren's face.

"I received this information from Brain Food."

"Brain food? It's that again?"

Upon hearing that the news came from the mouth of the Brain Eater, the real person no longer worried about its veracity.

But then, he unconsciously began to think about the purpose of telling the Shinri Family this news.

Although Brain Food initially collaborated with its own family, it later partnered with Dichai and A Yu.

But judging from the current situation, it is clearly more inclined to favor Dichai and his group.

Suddenly, it changed direction.

"Could it be that Ah Yu's death made Brain Eater sense a crisis and stop trusting Dichai?"

Suddenly, a thought struck him, and he realized that this guess was very likely.

"I knew it! The Shinri Family is indeed the most powerful."

He laughed heartily, and the real person's laughter grew louder and louder.

Outside the city, in Tokyo Metropolis.

Since the Emperor's death, other members of the Imperial Family have been urging Ayumi to return as soon as possible.

But the subsequent Tokyo Metropolis Incident made most people lose the will to get involved.

In just a few days, Tokyo Metropolis became a ghost city that everyone feared.

Large numbers of civilians fled to other places, causing incalculable property damage and other losses.

Then Ayu went to Kamikawa Prefecture, seemingly waiting for something.

Some members, unwilling to give up, issued another urging for Yu to return to Tokyo Metropolis as soon as possible to take charge of the situation.

However, not long after the urging order was issued, Kamikawa Prefecture was also destroyed.

According to the survivors, it was also the work of a ghost.

It seems that Yu's failure to capture all the Demon Slayer Corps members led to this tragic incident.

Just as some people qualified to inherit the throne were lamenting Ayumu's foolishness, another bombshell piece of news arrived.

Ayu's army was routed.

Most of the members died in Kamikawa Prefecture, and judging from the bodies, the deaths were caused by an unprecedented "brain loss".

The remaining members have disappeared without a trace; not even one of them can be found.

Despite the joy of the royal family, they felt that after so many events, Ayu was no longer qualified to inherit the throne.

It was under these circumstances that news of Ayu's death arrived.

Everyone who received the news was absolutely stunned.

The old emperor is dead, and the designated new emperor also suddenly dies.

Suddenly, the country found itself in an unprecedentedly difficult situation.

Those demons and monsters who usually kept to themselves began to stir, constantly destroying this already broken country.

This land has entered the most chaotic era in its history.

Chapter 605 The Demon Slayer Corps of Mt. Sagiri

Upon learning of Ah Yu's death, many members of the royal family were immediately shocked and incredulous.

Even if they disliked Ayu on a daily basis, deep down they still hoped that someone would step forward to take charge.

Ayu can protect the interests of the royal family, which means protecting their interests.

Without Crown Prince or an emperor, the interests of these people would be unprotected.

But soon, they realized something else.

Since the emperor is dead, and both Crown Prince have died, why can't they try to fight for it?

It wasn't just the younger generation; even the uncles and elders of the previous generation were having similar thoughts.

In chaotic times, the one with the strongest fist can become the new emperor.

"I have something to do, so I'll head back now."

"I haven't fed the cat, so I'll take my leave now."

"Turn off the heat on the food in the pot, or it will burn. Goodbye."

After giving various reasons, these people left Tokyo Metropolis.

Upon returning to their respective territories, they all began to gather their forces and prepare to vie for the "emperor's" position.

Not only domestic forces, but also overseas forces continue to get involved.

The first group of people who reached a cooperation agreement with Ayu were mostly the first heirs of a certain family.

Although they all died here, a family will not have only one heir.

The second, third, and even subsequent heirs all cheered with joy upon hearing the news of the first heir's death.

Many more people set off and headed here.

Even if they know that those who came before them died here, as long as they can complete the task that others could not, it will prove who is the best successor.

Human nature is just that complex.

Mt. Sagiri.

Urokodaki Sakonji returned to his wooden hut with a basket of food on his back.

As soon as he got back there, he found two other people.

Former Flame Pillar, Rengoku Shinjuro.

Former Rumble Hashira, Kuwashima Jigoro.

Behind each of them, there was a similar basket on their backs.

"You're back, Mr. Urokodaki."

"Urokodaki, how was today's harvest?"

With a smile, Urokodaki Sakonji said.

"I'm alright, how about you guys?"

Kuwashima Jigoro nodded and said to Shinjuro.

"The three of us combined have found enough to eat."

"Almost."

Chatting as they walked together into the cabin.

Unlike when the Scribe and Tanjiro left, the wooden house was no longer just three or four rooms.

Looking around, the entire open space was covered with it.

The residents here are some of the family members of the Demon Slayer Corps who were previously transferred here, as well as some injured swordsmen.

Although the conditions and environment cannot compare with the previous base, it is still quite good.

At least, staying in Mt. Sagiri is relatively safe for the time being.

"I wonder how Tanjiro and the others are doing."

After handing the basket to a member of "Hidden," Urokodaki Sakonji sighed, his tone tinged with worry.

"I heard a while ago that Ayu's group had arrived at the base, but I don't know how it went."

"The children we teach are the best, don't worry, Mr. Urokodaki."

With a hearty laugh, Shinjuro crossed his arms and said...

"Mr. Sangdao, are you right?"

"That being said, I am still very worried about Zenitsu and the others."

Taking a drag of his cigarette, a look of worry flashed in Kuwashima Jigoro's eyes.

"That's a legion of over ten thousand men, and there are quite a few skilled fighters among them."

"The Demon Slayer Corps is only a fraction of the enemy's numbers."

"It's very difficult to get out unscathed."

Shinjuro was about to say something when he saw a figure appear in front of him.

"Gentlemen, Father invites you."

With a slight bow, Kiriya Ubuyashiki spoke softly.

"The Kasugai Crow has brought news from the team, and I hope the three of you will listen."

Upon hearing this, Shinjuro's expression also turned serious.

"We understand."

He nodded to the other two, and then they followed behind Kiriya Ubuyashiki out of the wooden house.

After turning left and right, we arrived at a small wooden cabin located on the edge of the building complex.

In front of the wooden house, someone was burning something.

"Tanjuro."

Hearing someone calling his name, Kamado Tanjuro looked up.

Upon recognizing Shinjuro and his companions, he immediately stood up and spoke.

"You've arrived. Please come inside with me."

With that, Tanjuro turned around and walked toward the wooden house behind him.

Pushing open the door, I entered a room where a person was lying in the middle.

There were several other children nearby, whose appearances somewhat resembled those of Kiriya Ubuyashiki.

"Father, we've arrived."

Kiriya Ubuyashiki stepped forward and said respectfully.

"The Mr. Shinjuro and the others that you instructed me to bring have all arrived."

Lying in the wooden house was none other than the Demon Slayer Corps' Oyakata-sama, Ubuyashiki Kagaya!

Only a very few people knew that Yaozai was also at Mt. Sagiri.

Apart from the Demon Slayer Corps' high-ranking officers and a few swordsmen who were allowed to know, no one else knew where he went after leaving his original base.

"Then I'll leave the hosting to you, Kiriya Ubuyashiki."

Upon hearing Kiriya Ubuyashiki's voice, Yaozai opened one eye and said weakly.

"Gentlemen, please forgive me for not being able to stand up; I can only listen in."

"My Master, please take care of your health."

Shortly afterward, the meeting was convened under the chairmanship of Kiriya Ubuyashiki.

After moving from their base, the Demon Slayer Corps adopted a policy of "temporary seclusion" to reduce the possibility of being discovered.

Apart from Shinjuro and a few others who could find food in the Mt. Sagiri, no one else was allowed to leave.

Even the Kasugai Crow used to deliver messages were temporarily shut down.
