Turn Around: Samādhi Fire! / Water-Heaven Sunlight, Amaterasu's Eightfold Town-Shield!

Yuxian and his companions did not meet the owner of the courtyard filled with wisteria flowers.

All of this was arranged by Tamamo no Mae. Knowing in advance that Yuxian would pass through this place, she wrote a letter in advance to trick Kiyohime into leaving.

She absolutely cannot let Kiyohime see the Master; that's unacceptable.

If Okita Souji's threat level is 10, then Kiyohime's threat level is 100.

Just look at this yard full of wisteria blossoms and you'll know the meaning of wisteria flowers:

An obsessive love.

Born for love, died for love.

A captivating love affair, a lingering longing.

All of these points reveal Kiyohime's state of mind. Of course, Tamamo no Mae had to get her away, otherwise her plan would definitely fail.

That guy is usually very easy to talk to, and he even writes letters with her to discuss life.

However, once it comes to her Master, Kiyohime will definitely turn on her and refuse to acknowledge him. Fighting her is a minor matter; she's even capable of roasting her Master alive.

He's an utterly incomprehensible madman.

Thinking about it this way, Tamamo no Mae was moved by her own actions.

"I'm doing this all for Master's own good... Yes! That's it. Migu!"

"Northeast North! Northeast North!"

A few days later, Tanjiro's crow brought new mission instructions.

This time, however, it learned its lesson. After barking a few times, it immediately shut up and flew away, making sure the children didn't have a chance to catch it.

Everyone expressed their gratitude to the mother-in-law of the Wisteria House, saying, "We've troubled you these past few days; thank you for your care."

The old woman saw the group to the door.

She said respectfully, "Live with pride. May you have great success in your military endeavors."

After saying this, he took out a flint and steel to ward off any misfortune for everyone.

On the way, Inosuke muttered to himself, "Pride, luck, I don't understand, I don't know."

Little Jeanne said disdainfully, "You're so stupid, you don't even know that? The old lady is saying goodbye to us, it's almost like saying goodbye!"

Inosuke retorted, "Then why say so much? Wouldn't it be simpler to just say goodbye?"

Little Jeanne decided not to speak to him; there was no reasoning with him at all.

Yuxian smiled and said, "What the old lady means is that we should live the way we want to live."

Inosuke continued, "What kind of appearance do you want?"

Well, Yuxian has decided not to talk to him this time either; there's simply no way to communicate with him.

The group headed in the direction indicated by the crow; their destination was Mount Natagumo.

By the time they arrived at the entrance to Mount Natagumo, it was already dark, and night had fallen.

The gloomy mountain forest looked rather frightening, let alone the evil spirits that might lurk there.

Zenitsu Agatsuma was so frightened that he trembled all over and squatted on the ground, too afraid to go any further. Tanjiro tried to pull him up, but to no avail.

"You coward! Abby wasn't even scared, but you're so afraid. You're really useless!"

Little Jeanne immediately rebuked Zenitsu Agatsuma with contempt.

She immediately realized that what she said might not be appropriate, and quickly explained to Abby, "Abby, I wasn't talking about you."

Abby shook her head, not caring. "I know, I'll try to stay with everyone so I won't be afraid."

Zenitsu Agatsuma's sparrows flapped their wings and chirped incessantly in front of him, as if encouraging him.

"Chirp chirp chirp, chirp chirp chirp!"

But Zenitsu Agatsuma held his head and ignored it.

Little Jeanne angrily stepped forward and snatched the little sparrow away.

"Chuntaro, let's ignore him and leave him here alone."

After saying that, he turned and left. Zenitsu Agatsuma watched everyone leave, and slowly became uneasy. He hurriedly and frantically chased after them.

He was also very scared to be alone here, so it was better to be with everyone.

Yuxian and his group slowly made their way towards the Mount Natagumo. The rustling sounds along the way gave them a creepy feeling.

The children were not used to the environment. Yuxian wanted to persuade them to stay outside, but they insisted on coming along.

Although they felt very uncomfortable at this moment, they gritted their teeth and did not fall behind, so as not to let their Master look down on them.

Meanwhile, shortly after Yuxian and his group ventured deep into Mount Natagumo, the two arrived at the foot of the mountain.

"I knew that fox had ulterior motives; it actually concealed such an important matter!"

After Kiyohime brought Okita Souji back to her residence, she made a few inquiries and learned that Yuxian had appeared there.

Her Yuxian lifestyle, with children by her side, is very obvious, which, combined with Tamamo no Mae's actions, makes it clear.

They were absolutely certain that this person was Yuxian.

After asking the old woman at the Fuji family where Yuxian Kiyohime and Wisteria House group had gone, Kiyohime hurried over to catch up with them.

Okita Souji said to Kiyohime, "Master has gone up the mountain now, let's hurry up and catch up with him."

Although she was also dissatisfied with Tamamo no Mae's concealment, what she hoped for most now was to see her Master as soon as possible.

Kiyohime shook her head, staring at the Mount Natagumo in front of her, seemingly lost in thought.

Suddenly, a spear appeared in her hand, and she said through gritted teeth:

"Next, I'm going to eliminate that escaped swindler!"

Turning Fire Samadhi!

A giant fire dragon flew towards Mount Natagumo in the distance.

Okita Souji was terrified and shouted in utter horror, "Kiyohime! What are you doing?!"

Kiyohime's Noble Phantasm came so suddenly that she was caught off guard and could only watch helplessly as flames raged on the distant mountain.

She immediately drew Kaga Kiyomitsu and pointed the blade at Kiyohime.

"Faithless man! Liar! Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! Burn him! Hehehe!"

Kiyohime ignored Okita Souji's sword pointing at her and burst into maniacal laughter, a laugh so utterly desolate and mad.

Looking at her, Okita Souji knew that Kiyohime was now beyond reason.

She said coldly, "If anything happens to my Master, I will kill you!"

She turned and took a swift step, rushing into the firelight at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye, resolutely chasing after it alone up the mountain.

Okita Souji was extremely anxious and regretful. He should have known better than to agree to Kiyohime and instead left her in Kyoto to continue slaying demons.

"That damn madman, how could I have forgotten!"

Okita Souji was filled with self-reproach, realizing he shouldn't have forgotten Kiyohime's character because of a momentary lapse in judgment.

In fact, she hadn't expected her Master to appear. As long as her Master wasn't involved, Kiyohime's behavior was perfectly normal, showing no signs of anything unusual, which was why she was careless.

It's too late to regret it now; Okita Souji can only hope that Yuxian will be alright.

Ignoring the scorching heat of the flames, she charged forward with all her might, cutting down all the branches and bushes that blocked her way.

After Okita Souji left, Kiyohime stared blankly at the burning Mount Natagumo, and suddenly tears streamed down her face.

"I miss you, I miss you, I miss you, I miss you..."

Her face showed sadness and longing.

Section 329, Chapter Sixteen: Water-Heaven Sun-God Yatagarasu's Eight Plains Townstone!

Fire! Fire! Fire!

The firelight covering the mountains and fields illuminated the sky in a fiery red, making it exceptionally bright in the night.

"Senior! There's a fire behind us!"

"Wow, let's run!"

Behind Yuxian and his group, flames filled the sky, and raging fire chased after them.

Yuxian quickly led everyone to run forward as fast as they could, away from the fire.

"How could it suddenly catch fire!"

Starting a fire in such a dense forest is no fun; if you get trapped, there's really nothing you can do.

"Illya, you take the Master and fly away first!"

Mash was very anxious. She shouted to Illya that Yuxian had to escape first.

Yuxian was not about to agree at this point. She quickly said, "Let's go together, stop talking, hurry up!"

They stumbled and ran up the mountain.

However, at this extremely critical moment, they were blocked in front of them.

The Lower Rank Five, weary.

"You deserve to die! You actually tried to burn down my house!"

Lei rushed over as soon as he discovered that Mount Natagumo was on fire.

Upon seeing Yuxian and his group, he was enraged and launched an attack on them without saying a word.

"Aren't you annoying?! You have to come and cause trouble at a time like this!"

The children weren't thinking about any of that right now; they just wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible.

"We're tired. Let's run! The fire is about to spread."

Several more ghosts soon appeared behind Lei. They also wanted to leave this place. Even if they could regenerate their limbs, it was hard to say whether they would be completely destroyed by such a fire.

Lei wouldn't listen to them, and he launched an attack on Yuxian and his group without regard for anything else. Tanjiro stepped forward to block him.

However, Tanjiro was clearly no match for Rui, and under Rui's attacks, he appeared extremely disheveled.

"Tanjiro, you guys go and gather the other Demon Slayer Corps, leave this to us!"

Yuxian immediately took on the task of dealing with Rui and ordered Tanjiro to rescue the others. There were many captured Demon Slayer Corps here, and they absolutely could not be left unattended, otherwise they would definitely be burned to death.

Mash stepped forward and took Tanjiro to face Rui, allowing Tanjiro to leave.

Yuxian dared not relax any longer and immediately said, "Everyone, attack together and take them down quickly."

"I'll handle this! You all leave!"

A figure engulfed in flames rushed out from behind, wielding a long sword and immediately charged towards Lei.

"This is Samadhi Fire, Master, be careful not to get it on you!"

Okita Souji arrived at full speed, panting heavily. She quickly reminded Yuxian that this was no ordinary fire; an ordinary person would definitely not be able to withstand it.

"Okita-san!"

"Samadhi Fire? What's going on!"

Upon hearing that it was Samadhi Fire, Yuxian was finally moved. He was confident that he could walk around in ordinary flames. After all, he was Magus and not easily injured. As long as he didn't stay in the flames for a long time, there shouldn't be any major problems.
