Led by the bald-headed cult member, Giyu and Sanemi made their way through the temple.
On the way, they encountered two other cult members dressed in white uniforms. However, upon seeing the bald cult member in front of them, the cult members did not stop them but merely cast curious glances their way.
Giyu glanced around the temple grounds and suddenly spoke up, offering a reminder:
"You don't need to lead us to the door later. Just point out which room your leader is in from a distance!"
The bald cult member was initially puzzled, but quickly realized he shouldn't have asked about the two men's decision, and nodded repeatedly in agreement:
"Huh? Okay, okay!"
Sanemi looked at Giyu with some confusion.
Why do this?
Giyu replied expressionlessly, "His footsteps are a bit loud. If he leads us directly to the door, it might attract attention!"
Sanemi said, "Who cares if it attracts attention or not? At least we know this is Doma, and we know Doma is here. Why don't we just charge in?"
Giyu replied, "It's a matter of who goes first!"
"If we take good cover, when we break in, Doma might be caught off guard, and then we can attack Doma first."
"If we attract Doma's attention, then when we go in, we might be met with Doma attack!"
Giyu's words caused Sanemi's cheek to twitch slightly.
Is there really so much more to it than meets the eye?
In the past, when he encountered ghosts, he would just charge at them and kill them!
However... this is Upper Rank Three Doma, so he can't be judged by the same fighting style as ordinary demons.
Sanemi calmed down slightly and did not refute Giyu.
Even among the former Demon Slayer Corps, the missions they carried out were mostly against ordinary demons.
Even if it's the Lower Rank, it might take several years to encounter one.
After all, there are only six positions for the Lower Rank. If each pillar were to lose a Lower Rank every year...
Muzan had to try to convert five or six Lower Rank every year, so the Lower Rank would have been Muzan long ago and wouldn't have survived until now.
Moreover, even among the Lower Rank, perhaps because they didn't know how to eat people discreetly, or perhaps because they were overconfident in their own strength, most Lower Rank were reckless and impulsive.
In other words, when they want to eat people, they grab someone and take them away!
In this case, it becomes even simpler for the column to perform its task.
All you need to do is find the ghost and then destroy it.
Of course, there are also some Blood Demon Art that are quite unique and difficult to find.
In short, even pillars may not have performed many complex tasks, so relevant experience varies from person to person.
The bald cult member, sweating profusely, led the two forward.
From their conversation, it's clear they've come to cause trouble for the cult leader.
As a senior member of the cult, he naturally knew the situation of his leader.
He couldn't help but swallow, unsure whether bringing the two of them along was the right or wrong thing to do.
If they can't defeat the cult leader, then when the cult leader investigates afterward, they might have to pay with their lives.
But if we don't take them...
The bald cult member couldn't help but shudder at the thought of the white-haired, scarred man who had held a knife to his neck.
If I hadn't taken them, my head would definitely be on the ground by now, right?
None of the three spoke again. Soon, led by the bald cult member, they arrived at a corner of a long corridor.
The bald cult member stopped at the corner, pointed to the room by the corridor, and whispered to the two men:
"That room is the Lord's room!"
Sanemi first looked toward the room, then turned to look at Giyu, and finally turned to look at the bald cult member.
"Are you sure your cult leader is inside?"
The bald cult member nodded repeatedly, "Yes, yes! Tonight, the cult leader approached a follower inside. I was the one who brought that follower here; it was this very room!!"
Sanemi didn't reply, but just stared quietly at the bald cult member, as if trying to discern whether he was lying.
Being stared at by the white-haired, scarred man made the bald cult member break out in a cold sweat. After waiting a while, seeing that the other man still didn't intend to speak, he could only ask in a low voice:
"Um... can I go now?"
He received no response; instead, he saw another person's raised hand.
Bang!
After Giyu knocked the bald cult member unconscious, he quickly put his hands under his ribs and carefully helped him to the ground to avoid alarming Doma with the noise of him falling to the ground due to sudden loss of strength.
Then, Giyu and Sanemi exchanged a glance and cautiously walked towards the door, crouching down on either side of it.
Sanemi made a move to rush in, but Giyu stopped him.
Giyu turned slightly to the side, bringing his ear closer to the door, but not touching it.
He wanted to see if he could find out Doma's location inside by eavesdropping on the sounds inside the house.
To his disappointment, the room was completely silent.
Giyu frowned slightly and looked up at Sanemi.
Seeing Giyu's expression, Sanemi knew he hadn't gained anything, so he raised his hand again, making a gesture as if the two of them should rush in together.
However, Giyu stopped him this time.
Seeing this, Sanemi frowned and almost lost his temper several times, but he knew that this was not the right place, so he suppressed his anger.
However, his eyes remained fixed on Giyu, as if waiting for an explanation from the other party.
Giyu didn't delay and slightly raised his hand to gesture.
He gestured for Sanemi to open the door, Sanemi rushed in first, followed by Sanemi.
This method is better than the previous one.
Because this is a sliding door, if the two people were to break in directly...
For the two Pillars, this was of course no problem, but going in like this would inevitably encounter obstacles, and it was possible that Doma would realize what was happening and be prepared.
If someone were to open the door and barge in, all they needed to do was quickly pinpoint Doma's location.
Giyu believed that although the room was a bit big, they, as Pillars, could still manage it.
Seeing Giyu's actions, Sanemi understood his meaning, nodded at him, and approved of his plan.
Then, Giyu gently placed his hand on the door, Sanemi adjusted his posture slightly, came to the door, half-squatted on the ground, holding the scabbard in his left hand and the hilt of the sword in his right.
The two locked eyes once more.
Whoosh!
The sliding door was suddenly pulled open.
The moment the sliding door was opened, Sanemi rushed inside.
" Wind Breathing, Seventh Form, First..."
