...

In the dimly lit room, there were ten figures kneeling on the ground. They were the Nine Pillars of the Demon Slayer Squad, the head child Takayuki Yashiki, and Su Yu, who had not yet become a pillar.

It is worth mentioning that because one of the Nine Pillars was absent, only the Eight Pillars were present.

"A mere member of the lower class actually made us wait for two days. After this meeting is over, you should quickly commit seppuku and apologize." Xia Zhu among the Nine Pillars, who had met Su Yu and the others in Edo.

Kaguya Kitahara, who had a good relationship with him, started to talk harshly, and his target was Su Yu who caused the delay of the meeting of the pillars.

"There's no need to be so exaggerated. Didn't my lord say that there is some information about this battle with Shangxian Yi that he needs to share with us." The person who spoke was Fengzhu Haneda Hefeng.

Unlike the Fengzhu Immortal Kawakawa Saneya in the Taisho era, Haneda Hefeng is more approachable, at least he is not so bad-tempered, and he does not always bully lower-ranking team members.

"Speaking of which...Mr. Ishida didn't come to attend the pillar meeting this time. I wonder if it's because he was too busy?" Hua Zhu Lingwu Xinyue was concerned about the absent pillar.

From the day he became a pillar, he has never participated in a meeting of the pillars. Sometimes it is difficult even for the hawks following him to find his traces. Although he is not a ninja, his behavior is that he comes and goes without a trace.

However, no one will underestimate him because of his arrogant personality.

I don’t know since when, when a single column encounters the ghost of Shangxian, the outcome will most likely be death, and it is difficult to defeat Shangxian alone.

As for the pillar who has been absent from the pillar meetings, although he has not defeated Shangxian alone, he is the only pillar who has encountered Shangxian and successfully survived in recent decades.

According to what the tiger said, what he encountered at that time was Shangxian San, a ghost who used fists as weapons and was very powerful. The two of them fought from late at night until dawn. It was not until the sun was about to rise that Shangxian San was unable to fight.

He used his ultimate move to cover, and finally chose to escape.

No one knows why he was absent from the Pillar Meeting. Maybe he didn't come because he wasn't interested. After all, even if he was absent from the Pillar Meeting, it wouldn't matter much.

"That guy is simply a lone wolf, and a lone wolf that doesn't like to look for food. I heard that the crows have lost him again recently, and they haven't found him yet." Kitahara Kagu clicked his tongue, "This time

After the meeting, let's order Ishida and that kid to commit seppuku together to apologize."

"No... Even if there is nothing wrong with your proposal, losing one pillar would be too much for us now..."

Haneda Hefeng wanted to continue to complain. At this time, Uyashiki Takayuki, who had not spoken until now, put his index finger on his mouth, signaling for the two of them to be quiet.

Seeing this action, Kitahara Hegu and Haneda Hefeng immediately closed their mouths.

"In addition to asking you to report on the casualties caused by demons in the past six months, this pillar meeting also has another very important matter. That is about the battle with Kamiguruichi in Nagoya a few days ago."

Mentioning the First String, the four pillars who had fought with him suddenly frowned, because they knew very well how terrifying the Black Death Mou, the strongest of the Twelve Ghost Moons, was.

"The power of the Winding Ghost is far beyond my imagination. If it hadn't been for the fact that it was about to dawn, so he had no choice but to escape...it's hard to imagine how the outcome of that battle would have turned out."

Yanzhu Kongmu Ling said that he has a very deep qualification among the Nine Pillars. Although he is only twenty-four years old, he is the oldest person among the Nine Pillars.

His words made those Zhu who had never fought against Black Death Mou couldn't help but become serious.

With just one winding, one can face the four pillars at the same time without losing any composure, and even be able to escape unscathed, and this is under the premise that the sun is about to rise.

"You're right. The power of the ghost of the upper string is far beyond the imagination of all of us." Ubuyashiki Takayuki said, "In the past few decades, the Demon Slayer Squad has been using the killing of the lower string as the criterion for selecting pillars.

, but never defeated even one of them."

"And in this battle with the one on the upper string, two people have unique markings on their bodies, which may become a turning point." As he said that, Ubuyashiki Takayuki looked at Su Yu and Jingu Ruri, and the other seven

Everyone in the position couldn't help but look sideways.

"In the Warring States Period, that is, the first batch of swordsmen to use the breathing method, all of them had spots similar to ghost marks on their bodies. This may be just a disease that was easy to spread at that time, but they once forced Onimbutsuji Muzan into a desperate situation

.”

As soon as these words came out, Qibizhu's face suddenly showed a look of shock.

Pushing Muzan Kibutsuji into a desperate situation...this kind of thing is incredible just by imagining it.

The battle between Nagoya and Heishimou made everyone understand how powerful the Oni no Tsuji was, and that the Demon Maitsuji Mukai was even more terrifying than them... I am afraid that it would take the entire Demon Slayer Squad's strength to defeat them.

A fight.

"Furthermore, we have confirmed that when the spots appeared, the physical fitness of Kamado Suyu and Jingu Ruri were greatly improved, and because of this, they were able to successfully drag Yan, Feng, and Mingzhu to arrive.

"

"So, I would like to ask you two to inform me of the conditions for the appearance of stripes, so as to enhance the overall strength of Nine Pillars."

Su Yu was not very surprised by Ubuyashiki Takayuki's words, because he knew that the Ubuyashiki family had always known about the history of stripes. As early as the moment he awakened to the stripes, Su Yu had guessed that Ubuyashiki Takayuki would definitely be in the pillar meeting.

Mention this matter.

However, what surprised Su Yu was that Shengu Liuli also turned on the markings. This was not good news, because those who turned on the markings could not live past the age of twenty-five.

Su Yu, like Jiguo Enichi, has congenital markings and may live past the age of twenty-five, but the same cannot be said for Jingu Ruri who has acquired markings.

I have to think of a way... I wonder if Zhu Shi can develop a drug that can keep the striped man alive, and I will have to ask her for help then.

"I don't know!" Faced with Ubuyashiki Takayuki's question, Kamiya Ruri raised her hand and answered in four short words. Her confident look made it difficult not to make people doubt whether she was lying.

.

"It's decided. After this meeting is over, you, Ishida and that kid should also commit seppuku and apologize." Kitahara Kagu expressed disappointment at Jingu Ruri's answer, as did the other pillars.
