Chapter 0072: Encounter Kanae! 

"Nakime, call all the Demon Moons to Infinity Castle."

"Yes, my lord Muzan!"

Nakime's voice rang in the ears of Muzan, and then under the effect of her blood demon art, all the demon moons were forcibly summoned to the Infinity Castle.

The sudden change of the picture made the five upper moons slightly startled, but after noticing the familiar place, their tense expressions were completely relieved, and their expressions became very respectful.

The lower moons looked at each other at the same time, and there was an indescribable deep meaning in their eyes.

They haven't gathered together for a long time. Since the last ranking battle, they have received orders from Muzan unilaterally, but they will not meet other demon moons. 

This is because Muzan seldom brings all the twelve demon moons together.

This guy is very cautious, or it can be said that he is afraid of death. Even though he has control over all the demons, he is still afraid that the demons will gather to rebel against him, so under normal circumstances, he will not allow them to meet each other. At the same time, he will not give too many such opportunities.

Now that all the demon moons are gathered together, it is obvious that something very important has happened.

That guy Doma hasn't come for a long time. Could it be that the reason for this gathering has something to do with that guy? Many demons thought. 

"Clang clang!!!"

The sound of the zither sounded again, and Muzan appeared directly above.

Except for Kokushibo who was still sitting cross-legged on the spot, the other moon demons, even Gyutaro, who was inside Daki's body, all appeared directly, half kneeling on the ground, with their heads lowered, not daring to offend in the slightest.

In fact, the degree of respect these demon moons have for Muzan is far beyond imagination.

"Doma is dead!"

Without too much foreshadowing of the atmosphere, Muzan said the news directly.

"What?!" The moment they heard these words, almost all the demon moons present had their pupils shrunk slightly, their hearts were filled with turbulent waves, their heads suddenly lifted, and their faces showed disbelief.

An upper rank 2 was actually killed, how could such a thing happen!

You must know that Doma is one of the top three existences among the 12 Demon Moons. Countless human beings have been killed over hundreds of years, and there are many strong existences among them. But he was killed?!

This is too unbelievable!

However, there was a person in the crowd who showed a different look.

The corner of Akaza's mouth was filled with a hidden arc. Although he was also surprised by Doma's death, the death of this guy who he very much disliked was undoubtedly great news.

He had wanted to do this a long time ago, if it wasn't for his lack of strength, coupled with Muzan's disapproval, that's why he was forced to run aground. Now someone is doing it for him, what a good man!

"Muzan-sama, how did Doma die? Could it be that his Paradise Cult was discovered by the Demon Slayer Team and was surrounded by several pillars?"

Kokushibo asked calmly, and the six eyes looked at one place very flabbergasted.

"There was only one person who killed him. I'm not sure if it was a swordsman from the Demon Slayer Group. He used the breath of flames. His physical strength was different from ordinary people. He was able to arouse the transparent world, and he might have opened the mark. Doma was killed by him due to his carelessness. During the slashing, the regenerative ability was inhibited, and he was beheaded under the great loss of strength."

The other Demon Moons are a little unclear, but Kokushibo has captured the key content.

The physical strength is different from ordinary people, coupled with Transparent World and Marking is indeed possible to kill Doma, after all, he has personally experienced the power of marking.

What's more, Kokushibo generally understands Doma's situation.

There is nothing wrong with a guy who likes to tease his opponent in battle to die like this.

"Hei is dead, I hope you can find that guy and kill him!"

Ignoring his subordinates below who were chattering, Muzan's eyes fell on Kokushibo's body, and he expressed his appeal in a cold tone.

Although he thinks that Yami's strength is not enough to threaten him, he still can't keep him.

As soon as one of the markings appears, any human being that may become a threat cannot be allowed to grow up, and must be killed in the cradle when it is weak.

"My lord, with all due respect, the person who has turned on the mark will definitely not live to be twenty-five years old. There is absolutely no need to pay attention to a dying person."

"That's right, Muzan-sama, why don't you hand over that guy to me, I will twist his head off with my own hands, and bring his body back!"

Akaza also hurriedly echoed, his eyes gleaming with unspeakable excitement.

He can't wait to fight against the strong man who can kill Doma!

However, the imaginary promise did not appear, and what Akaza ushered in was Muzan anger, who directly crushed his whole body to the ground. His veins bulge, but he didn't dare to make any struggling movements.

"I'm sorry, Muzan-sama, your subordinates dare not!" Akaza hurriedly begged for mercy.

Boom!

As soon as his voice fell, Akaza's whole body exploded instantly, a large amount of minced meat and blood splashed everywhere, and the rest of the moon demons were more or less stained, but they didn't dare to wipe even a little with their hands.

There was deep fear in the eyes of every moon demon, and they knew that Muzan was really angry.

"This is the last time, I don't want to hear anyone disobeying my orders again, do you hear me?"

"Yes, Muzan-sama!"

A group of moon demons hurriedly agreed, not daring to disobey in the slightest.

"Find that human being as soon as possible, and then deal with him. You can all go back!" After saying this, Muzan turned around and disappeared in place until his figure completely disappeared. The feeling of oppression is completely gone.

All the moon demons at the scene couldn't help but heave a sigh of relief, their faces filled with the afterlife.

It was at this time that the exploded Akaza dared to recover, and his forehead was already covered with cold sweat.

Yami didn't know what happened in Infinity Castle.

He, who has long since left the Paradise Cult, kept looking for the location of the Demon Slayer Squad based on the information he had traveled through the simulation. The specific direction is not clear, and his behavior is undoubtedly looking for a needle in a haystack.

However, it is not for nothing.

As long as he finds the location of the wisteria flower's family, it is not difficult to contact the Demon Slayer Group.

"This wisteria flower family crest is too hard to find. I haven't found it in the nearby towns. It has been many days. I haven't even met a swordsman from the Demon Slayer Team. This is too bad luck."

Sitting on a rock, Yami's face revealed a helplessness.

It always feels a little sloppy.

Adventurers can't just take risks, it's better to have some brains, at least now they don't have to face such an embarrassing situation, and they can't even find the way, which is too miserable.

"So what should I do now?"

Scratching his head in distress, Yami felt a little numb all over. He always felt that the ideal was full and the plan was very reasonable, but in practice, he was already out of plans?

Crowds come and go, it is a lively scene.

Only Yami was sitting on the side of the road alone. In this strange world, he always had an aura of incompatibility.

"Um?!"

Suddenly, a familiar figure came into view.

Yami's confused eyes lit up instantly at this moment. The familiar pink haori, with beautiful patterns like butterflies printed on it, and the sun blade on her waist, what a coincidence!

"It seems that there is no need to search like a headless chicken."

Yami stood up immediately, and quickly chased after the figure.

"Hello, do you know what happened to the Paradise Cult a few days ago?"

Kanae Kocho is inquiring about the situation of the Paradise Cult in the town. She was looking for the whereabouts of the man-eating demon nearby, but she received the news from the crow that a strong human was fighting a demon, so she rushed over immediately.

The field situation of the Paradise Cult has been investigated. The battle in the yard was very fierce, but there were no corpses. It is not clear what the final result will be.

Not only that, all the believers of that sect fled, and there was no way to get other news.

In desperation, Kanae could only come to a nearby town to inquire about news, hoping to get some useful information from it.

However, she has asked many passers-by, but there is no useful information.

Kanae couldn't help being a little discouraged, but there was still a gentle smile on her face.

"Thank you for your message, sorry for stopping you."

Nodding towards the passers-by, Kanae leaned back slightly, even if she turned around and left, even if she got nothing now, she still couldn't give up the information she needed to inquire about.

Even if the process is like finding a needle in a haystack.

"Hi, excuse me."

The sudden sound in her ears stopped Kanae, and the girl turned her head subconsciously, and Yami's delicate face was instantly imprinted in her eyes.

Such a good looking young man made her slightly taken aback.

For some reason, Kanae always felt as if she had seen him somewhere.

"Hello, what's the matter?"

"Excuse me, you should be the Demon Slayer swordsman of the Demon Slayer Team right?" Although it was very unexpected to meet Kanae, Yami did not lose his composure too much, but chose to go straight to the point, "I want to cooperate with your Demon Slayer team to kill the demon ancestor Muzan. I hope you can help me introduce me to your leader."

"Eh?!"

This sudden request made Kanae froze in place.

But when she saw the light armor on Yami's body and the sun blade hidden under his cloak, she realized something instantly, and a touch of surprise appeared in her beautiful eyes.

"Excuse me, I would like to ask, sir, have you ever been to the Paradise Cult before?"

"If you want to ask about the battle that took place at that place, I did it. I met Doma, the second upper moon, and successfully killed him after a night of fighting."

Without any intention of hiding anything, Yami told the whole story.

This will undoubtedly become a bargaining chip for the Demon Slayer Team to believe in him.

After all, as long as you do a little research, you will be able to know the leader of the Paradise Cult, and then you will be able to verify whether his words are true.

"Upper Moon No. 2??? Sir, do you mean that you killed the upper moon No. 2 of Twelve Demon Moons?!" Kanae was stunned when she heard Yami's words, her face was full of doubt. She can't believe it, after all, it's just too unbelievable.

Twelve Demon Moons are very powerful, but so far, their Demon Slayer Team has only killed Lower Demon Moon! 

The swordsmens who encountered the upper demon moon were almost all killed by that monster without exception, and there was even a pillar among them. The strength of Upper Moon was truly engraved in the hearts of all members of the Demon Slayer Team.

Now a person suddenly appeared and told her that he had killed Upper Moon rank 2, how could Kanae believe this?

But when I think back to everything she saw in the Paradise Cult before, the intense scene, ordinary demon don't have that kind of strength at all, and the malice left in the yard is very flimsy, just standing there makes people shudder, The combination of two made Kanae have to believe the words just now.

Or, Kanae would prefer this to be true! 

If Yami really killed the second upper moon, then no matter from which aspect, it would be a great thing, at least let everyone see the hope of killing Muzan! 

Suppressing the strangeness in her heart, Kanae glanced around, and then smiled again.

"Sir, this is not a place to talk, please come with me, let's find a place where no one is around and talk in detail about your previous battle with the demon."

"No problem, then I will trouble you to lead the way."

Naturally, Yami would not refuse, he finally found someone who could lead the way, of course he couldn't just let it go, after all, he needed the help of the other party to find the Demon Slayer base!

So, the two walked side by side towards the central area of ​​the town.

Neither of them spoke during the journey.

After wandering around, they finally came to the door of a house with an unattractive appearance. There was a big family crest printed on the door, with wisteria flowers surrounding the word 'vine'. Other than that, there was no special sign, but It is indeed located in this place.

Looking at the simple gate in front of him, Yami couldn't help laughing.

He was about to be made to cry by himself. He was obviously in the same town, but he couldn't find it after searching for so long. Could it be that he also has the attribute of road idiot?

"Here, Sir Yami, this is the property of the Bi-ay family, an organization that provides various services and information to the members of the Demon Slayer who are on missions outside. Let's go in together."

On the way here, the two simply exchanged basic information.

After hearing Kanae's words, Yami nodded readily, and the girl, as gentle as a butterfly, stepped forward and knocked on the door gently.

"coming!"

A voice that sounded extremely old came from the house, and after a while, the wooden door opened from the middle, revealing an old woman with white hair, the years had left obvious marks on her face

The old woman has always had a gentle face with squinted eyes, giving people a very kind feeling.

"Hashirama-sama, welcome."

The other party recognized Kanae's identity at a glance, and hurriedly bowed to salute.

"Grandma, don't be like this. I'm just an ordinary demon slayer. Everyone is here to exterminate demons. It's just that the division of labor is different, but there is no distinction between high and low."

Kanae hurried forward to help the old woman up.

"Since it's Hashira-sama request. Please come with me!"

"Then, Sir Yami, let's go in together."

One greeted the other, and the three of them quickly entered the room. This room was bigger than imagined, and they had to go through the yard to reach the real residence.

There were not many people in the whole yard, which made Yami feel emotional.

The Demon Slayer Team is not just demon hunters, the work of these behind-the-scenes personnel is equally important. If it weren't for them, the frontline swordsmen would not be able to devote themselves to the demon hunting business wholeheartedly.

"Then, Hashira-sama, I will wrong you to live here."

The old lady opened a sliding door and said apologetically, "I'm going to prepare food for you right now, there is a change of clothes in the house, the two adults can have a good rest."

"Sorry for troubling you, grandma."

"No, that's what we do."

The old lady smiled all over her face. She didn't feel that there was anything wrong with these jobs. On the contrary, she enjoyed it. As long as she could provide some convenience for these demon hunters, they would be overjoyed.

With the old lady gone, only Yami and Kanae were left in the room.

"Sir Yami, come in and rest first. After dinner, please continue to tell me about the upper rank demon in Paradise Cult, is that okay?"

Looking at Kanae's gentle smile, Yami shook his head lightly.

"Miss Kanae, you don't need to do this. If you want to verify whether I am lying, there is an easier way. Why don't we have a sparring session?"

"Eh?"

... ...
