Bang!

With a dull thud, Obanai plummeted from the sky like a dark shadow, finally crashing heavily onto a house.

After maintaining a semi-squatting position for a while, allowing her body to gradually dissipate the immense force of the fall, Obanai slowly stood up and stood up again.

The bandaged head turned slightly, its heterochromatic pupils quickly scanning its surroundings as it observed its environment.

Hiss!

The white snake's smooth, cold body coiled around Obanai's shoulder, facing him, gently flicking its tongue as if telling him something.

The next moment.

"Rustle!"

A crisp, yet somewhat abrupt, sound of the door being pulled open rang out unexpectedly from behind.

Immediately following was a rapid and dense sound of footsteps, as if a surging tide was rushing in.

However, Obanai seemed oblivious to the strange occurrences behind her, her expression remaining cold and composed.

He raised his hand and extended two long, strong fingers, gently scratching the white snake's head with a tender and affectionate gesture.

"Kaburamaru, this might be the last time we fight side by side!"

Hiss!

"Flame Breathing - Fourth Form - The Blooming Flame Undulation!"

Whoosh--!

The Nichirin Blade circled rapidly around Kyojuro.

Wherever the blade passed, the air was rapidly heated, producing a crackling and popping sound.

With a constant hissing sound, Kyojuro swiftly and decisively wiped out all the evil spirits that had poured out of the house.

Exhausted!

The Nichirin Blade was returned to its sheath.

"We need to hurry and find the Upper Rank and Muzan!"

Kyojuro muttered to himself as he walked toward the edge of the house.

Step, step, step...

Tengen Uzui slowly walked to the edge of the house, then gently raised his head.

What comes into view are rows of quaint houses suspended in mid-air.

Inside the house, the dim, yellowish light, like specks of ghostly light, struggled to squeeze out from the cracks in the doors and windows, sparingly outlining a hazy silhouette of the surrounding world.

At the same time, you can see team members falling uncontrollably through the air, and occasionally you can see team members jumping off a house, followed by several evil spirits jumping off that house.

An indescribable, strange beauty surged towards Tengen Uzui like a tidal wave.

"Hahahaha... Is this the Infinity Castle? It's truly magnificent!!!"

Tap tap tap...

The sound of hurried, continuous footsteps echoed along a long corridor.

Sanemi kept turning his head left and right, trying to find any clues, but there was absolutely no trace of Upper Rank or Muzan.

"Damn it, how are we supposed to find something this big? Are we just going to have to wait for the Kasugai Crow to bring us the message?" Sanemi said, frowning.

Clang!

The door next to them suddenly opened, and several evil spirits rushed out.

"Roar! Die, Demon Slayer!"

Upon seeing this, Sanemi frowned and said with some irritation:

"Damn it, get out of my way! I'm in a hurry!"

As he spoke, his hand was already on the Nichirin Blade at his waist.

"Wind Breathing - Second Form - Claw Claw - Kōto Wind!"

Whoosh--!

Several Wind Blade swept past Sanemi.

After swiftly and decisively dispatching these demons who weren't even Lower Rank, Sanemi quickly sheathed his sword and continued running forward.

Tap tap tap...

Muichiro ran quickly through a room, with Ginko close behind him.

As he reached the edge of the house, Muichiro paused, his muscles, hidden beneath his wide robe, bulging instantly.

The next moment.

Bang!

Muichiro leaped high into the air and landed in the neighboring house.

With each step, Muichiro began running around the house again.

Tap tap tap...

Bang!

Tap tap tap...

Bang!

We passed through more than a dozen houses in succession.

Finally, Muichiro's steps slowly came to a stop.

Before him stood a figure with red hair tied in a high ponytail.

The figure slowly opened its six golden eyes, and as it turned, its gaze fell upon Muichiro.

"A descendant of the Tsugikuni...?"

outside world.

"The Pillars and regular team members have all been teleported into the Infinity Castle!"

The unpleasant cries of seagulls echoed in the sky.

"Finally... has it started...?"

Teiichi sighed softly, and gently raised his right hand to rest on his Nichirin Blade.

The next moment.

Several Wind Blade formed in mid-air and flew straight towards the eyeball hidden in the shadows.

Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!

The Wind Blade precisely sliced through all the eyes.

After eliminating all spies and informants, Teiichi looked up at White Feather again and asked:

"How's the situation?"

"Muzan didn't go to headquarters! Muzan didn't go to headquarters! He teleported everyone else directly into the Infinity Castle!" White Feather shouted.

Upon hearing this, Teiichi's brows furrowed immediately, and unease began to creep into his heart. He then asked:

"And what about Kagaya Ubuyashiki?"

"Our Master is well protected and his exact location has not been seen. He is still in headquarters, but other ghosts have emerged and are currently attacking the headquarters!!" White Feather replied from high in the sky.

Teiichi firmly and quickly headed towards Kagaya Ubuyashiki's location.

Houses, streets, and trees flashed past Teiichi's eyes.

Worry spread through Teiichi's heart, Teiichi gaze gradually became unfocused. It seemed as if everything had returned to the day he went to the Swordsmith Village to find Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

Teiichi deep breath and slowly said:

"Well then, there's one last thing..."

Kagaya Ubuyashiki smiled and nodded, signaling Teiichi continue.

After a moment of silence in the room, Kagaya Ubuyashiki's smile faded, and he said:

Your heart is in turmoil...

"Yes, my heart is in turmoil." Teiichi wry smile.

"So, what's troubling you so much?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki asked.

Teiichi moment and said, "What if, after the message is sent, Muzan Kibutsuji to come out while I'm around?"

Upon hearing this, Kagaya Ubuyashiki remained silent for a moment before sighing:

"Yes, if I were Muzan, I wouldn't allow someone who could threaten me to enter the Infinity Castle again!"

"So, what should we do when faced with this situation?" Teiichi asked.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki didn't reply directly, but smiled at Teiichi and said:

"Didn't you already know?"

Teiichi opened his mouth, but in the end, he couldn't say anything.

Yes, I've always known that.

The Infinity Castle is in Muzan's hands; when to fight it and who to fight it with are all decided by Muzan.

Even the decision of whether or not to fight was solely based on Muzan could restrain himself.

so...

Unless he encounters Muzan by chance like last time, Muzan will almost never give him a chance to see him.

In that case, only Infinity Castle...

Silence enveloped the room.

After a long silence, Kagaya Ubuyashiki slowly spoke:

"Trust them..."

Teiichi slowly turned his head to look out the window.

"Do you believe... them...?"
