After Tanjiro and Nezuko left, Yuxian looked at Tamamo no Mae and asked, "How is Muzan Kibutsuji?"

Tamamo no Mae said, "I hid him in a very, very secluded place."

"He absolutely cannot escape, nor can he die."

Yuxian naturally believed Tamamo no Mae's words, knowing she had the ability to back them up.

However, since Muzan, the demons he creates cannot die, which is a very troublesome thing.

"Let's contact the Demon Slayer Corps first, help Tamayo and the others turn back into humans, and then kill him."

Rather than making Muzan suffer, Yuxian prefers to make the world peaceful.

News of Nezuko arrived at the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, bringing joy to everyone present.

Shinazugawa Sanemi hurriedly took his younger brother Genya and set off for Yuxian's residence.

On the other side, Yushiro was also urging Tamayo to hurry up.

"Tamayo, let's set off quickly!"

Upon learning that he could turn back into a human, Yushiro was extremely excited. He ran up to Tamayo and said urgently.

Tamayo remained silent, continuing to slowly prepare the medicine in front of her.

"Tamayo, Muzan is dying, this medicine is useless."

Yushiro couldn't understand why Tamayo could still remain calm.

"Medicines are valuable at all times; there will always be someone who needs them, and helping even just one more person is a good thing."

After saying this indifferently, Tamayo ignored Yushiro and continued with her work.

Yushiro had no choice but to wait on the sidelines.

Only after Tamayo finished preparing all the medicine did he continue to urge, "Lady Tamayo, let's go now. We can't keep them waiting too long."

Tamayo turned around to look at Yushiro and slowly shook her head.

"You go ahead, Yushiro, I won't go."

"Why?!"

Yushiro finally understood why Tamayo wasn't in a hurry: she never wanted to turn back into a human.

A sad expression appeared on Tamayo's face.

She said, "I used to eat a lot of people in a state of self-destruction, and no matter how hard I tried afterward, I still couldn't change that fact."

"I've lived a hundred years, and I'm tired."

"These medicines are the last things I leave to this world, so that I can feel less guilty."

Yushiro shed tears. He had already defeated Muzan and seen the light of hope, but his most respected Tamayo chose to leave him.

"Go by yourself, Yushiro. You've never eaten people. You can live with your head held high."

Tamayo smiled as she looked at Yushiro.

"No! I'm not going!"

"I don't care about a world without Tamayo!"

"I should have died the moment Tamayo saved me."

"I will always stay by Tamayo's side."

Yushiro stubbornly refused Tamayo's offer to turn him back into a human on his own. He wanted to stay by Tamayo's side; he didn't want to leave Tamayo.

"Why bother..."

Tamayo gently reached out and touched Yushiro's cheek.

Yushiro said very seriously, "I have made up my mind. I will go and prepare the supplies now. I want to accompany Tamayo and make more medicine."

After saying that, he picked up the medicine that Tamayo had just made and turned to walk out.

"I will send these medicines to someone now, so that they don't end up undiscovered here and waste Tamayo's painstaking efforts."

Tamayo stared blankly as Yushiro left, then smiled softly.

She is not alone.

The residence of Yuxian and his party.

The news that Tamayo wasn't planning to come reached him early on.

Yuxian sighed deeply, feeling somewhat regretful.

This was Tamayo and Yushiro's choice, and he respected it.

For the past hundred years or so, Tamayo must have lived in pain and guilt. If she hadn't been thinking about revenge against Muzan, she probably would have taken her own life long ago.

The differences between people are vast, and the same is true for the differences between ghosts.

Compared to Muzan, Tamayo, although a demon, is more like a human, more like a human than many others.

Yuxian sincerely wished her well, hoping that her conscience could find peace, and that all of this was not her fault.

I also hope that Tamayo and Yushiro can continue to be together in their next life and continue their relationship.

This world is still a beautiful place.

Chapter 57, Section 370: Goodbye, Nezuko

"We've gotten rid of them!"

Shinazugawa Sanemi prostrated himself on the ground, his body pressed tightly against the earth, and slammed his forehead heavily against the ground with a loud thud.

Genya quickly followed his brother and did the same thing.

He was very surprised that his usually proud brother would be so humble, bowing his head to the ground in a low voice.

But Genya knew that all of this was because of him.

My brother lowered his proud head for my sake.

Shinazugawa Sanemi had some unpleasant experiences with Yu Xian and the Yuxian when they were at the Demon Slayer Corps base.

This time, in order to save his younger brother Genya, Sanemi made such a move the moment he arrived here, which really caught Yuxian off guard.

Everyone else present looked at Yuxian, waiting for his decision.

Yuxian rolled his eyes helplessly. Did he give off a Mind's Eye impression?

"Alright, alright, the floorboards are about to break!"

Yuxian said to Shimi in an annoyed tone.

This guy has absolutely no tact, acting like he's Mind's Eye. His emotional intelligence is frighteningly low.

If Yuxian hadn't known that he was doing this for his younger brother, he would have already driven him away.

Thank you so much!

Shinazugawa Sanemi kowtowed deeply in gratitude once more, Yuxian ignored him, turned around, and left the hall.

He simply couldn't stand this guy's behavior and was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be driven mad by him.

Only after Shinazugawa Sanemi carried the weakened Genya away step by step did Yuxian reappear in the hall.

Regardless, Sanemi is still an older brother who loves his younger brother, and hopefully they can communicate well in the future.

After sighing to himself, Yuxian turned his gaze back to Tamamo no Mae.

"Now Muzan can die."

Everyone who needed saving has been saved; it's time for Muzan Kibutsuji to say goodbye to this world.

"Migu!"

Tamamo no Mae let out a soft cry, smiled, and took out the Tamamo Stone, waving it gently.

Muzan, now Muzan in darkness, revealed a look of relief as his body slowly began to decompose and decay.

His sinful life has finally come to an end, drawing its final conclusion.

The Demon Slayer Corps, Oyakata Ubuyashiki's mansion.

At the moment of Muzan's death, his body paused slightly, as if an invisible shackle had been broken.

Oyakata Ubuyashiki felt incredibly relieved. He gently looked up at his surroundings, and his blind eyes seemed to see a dazzling light.

His body was extremely weak, and he lay in bed awaiting death.

He struggled to lift his upper body, and his wife quickly went to support him.

Oyakata Ubuyashiki coughed a few times and said, "Go and call everyone else here."

Before long, the room was filled with people.

His son and daughter, along with the other Pillars who remained in the Demon Slayer Corps, were among them.

"Muzan."

Oyakata Ubuyashiki announced this exciting news, everyone in the room showed expressions of excitement and joy.

"From now on, the Demon Slayer Corps has no reason to exist. You must continue to live and find your own lives."

"Master of the House!"

The Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps greatly respected their Master of the House and all wanted to speak.

Oyakata Ubuyashiki gently raised his hand to stop them; his time was running out and he couldn't afford to waste any more.

"Kiriya."

He called his son to his side and instructed him, "Take good care of the remaining assets in the house. Keep some for your mother and sisters to live on. See which team members need help and take the initiative to help them."

Kiriya nodded heavily.

Oyakata Ubuyashiki continued, "Don't be stingy with a little money. The curse on us has disappeared, and they have all paid with their blood and tears. This is the way we should repay them."

"I understand, Father."

Oyakata Ubuyashiki nodded in satisfaction.

With a smile, he said to the Pillars present, "Thank you for your continued fighting. From now on, you will go and live your own lives. I wish you all the best."

"Master of the House!"

Oyakata Ubuyashiki lay back down on the bed and murmured softly, "I'm tired, I need to rest for a while."

He closed his eyes, and his breathing gradually weakened until it disappeared.

The Demon Slayer Corps Master of the House, who had fought Muzan life, departed this world with a victorious smile.

"Tanjiro, what are your plans for the future Nezuko and I?"

Yuxian and the others were saying goodbye to Tanjiro and Nezuko.

All good things must come to an end, and farewells are inevitable.

Tanjiro replied, "We've decided to go home and start making charcoal in the mountains again."

Yuxian was taken aback. "Wouldn't that be too strenuous? I can introduce you to other jobs."

With Tanjiro Sakamoto Ryoma around, Yuxian Xian could indeed help Tanjiro if needed.

Tanjiro shook his head and refused Yuxian's help. "Nezuko and I have discussed it, and we hope we can go home."

Home is something to miss so much.

Tanjiro believes that with his own efforts, he can definitely make Nezuko happy.
