Chapter 12 The Wrath of Muzan Kibutsuji
Chapter 12 The Wrath of Muzan Kibutsuji
"Is that so?"
Yoshiyuki Tomioka, the Water Pillar, fell silent and stopped speaking.
After all, the latest prophecy of Lord Ubuyashiki Kagaya is truly terrifying.
If this were true, and countless people were truly killing each other on the red land, how many people would die?
This is an answer that is countless, an answer that sends chills down your spine.
The number of people Muzan and his minions have killed over the past thousand years is probably less than one-tenth of the number of people who died on that day.
"How could this be? Li Ke is such a kind person, how could he do such a thing?"
Kanroji Mitsuri was still somewhat unwilling to believe the result.
How could Li Keming, a kind-hearted ghost, possibly do something so extremely evil?
At this moment, Yin Zhuyu Suitian Yuan said in a deep voice:
"Nothing is impossible, just like what Lower Moon Two, Perospero, said."
Human hearts are fickle; he may truly be a kind ghost now, but he might very well become an evil ghost in the future.
At this moment, the Wind Pillar, Sanemi Shinazugawa, immediately sneered:
"That's right, we must do everything in our power to kill Li Ke before he grows stronger, and we cannot allow the terrifying disaster foretold in the prophecy to repeat itself!"
However, at this moment, after a long silence, Giyu Tomioka hesitated and said:
"Could our desire to kill Li Ke become a step that prophesies forward?"
It is precisely because we want to kill him, to make him lose faith in humanity, to make him hate humanity, that he will ultimately contemplate destroying the world.
Upon hearing this, the room fell silent.
Because what Giyu Tomioka said is indeed somewhat possible, at least during this period, Li Ke did not seem to be very evil.
He did indeed save the mother and child, as well as Mitsuri Kanroji, and killed Lower Moon Two, Pero; all he did were good deeds.
Now, if they were to kill Li Ke at all costs based solely on a prophecy, without any regard for the facts, they would be tempted to do anything.
This behavior will definitely hurt Li Ke deeply, making him lose faith in humanity, hate humanity, and ultimately want to destroy the world.
The scene remained silent for a long time. As the strongest Pillar in the Demon Slayer Corps, he held the greatest prestige.
At the same time, Gyomei Himejima, the Stone Pillar who was actually in charge of the Demon Slayer Corps' affairs, suddenly clasped his hands together.
Snapped!
Accompanied by applause with hands clasped together, tears streamed down the face of Gyomei Himejima.
"This world has already suffered enough tragedies; we must not allow a second Ghost King to appear under any circumstances."
"If there were another Ghost King in the world, the amount of tragedy and suffering it would bring is unimaginable."
Upon hearing Himejima Gyomei's words, Tomioka Giyu fell silent and said nothing more.
After that, there was no question about how the Demon Slayer Corps would treat Rick.
……
In the Infinity Castle, the five remaining Lower Moon demons lay prostrate on the ground, too afraid to move.
"Why are the Lower Moons so weak? What's the point of you Lower Moons anyway?!"
Hearing Muzan Kibutsuji's cold words, beads of cold sweat appeared on the foreheads of the Lower Moon demons, and they dared not utter a sound.
Only Lower Moon Five - Lei and Lower Moon One - Yanmeng showed the calmest behavior.
The reason why Lower Moon Five Rui could appear so calm was that he was the demon most favored by Muzan.
The reason why Lower Moon One, Nightmare, appears so calm is that he is a true psychopath, a masochist and sadist with a naturally twisted personality.
For a pervert who enjoys suffering, torturing others and being tortured by others.
Naturally, being killed by Muzan's own hands was considered an unparalleled honor and the ultimate happiness.
"The upper string has never been replaced in nearly a hundred years!"
"But you lower moons are changed so frequently, which makes me wonder if you even have a reason to exist."
Faced with Muzan Kibutsuji's cold words, the scene fell into a deathly silence.
This is because what Muzan Kibutsuji said was indeed true; as far as they knew, Upper Moon demons had almost never died.
On the contrary, the Lower Rank Demons die frequently, their existence seemingly serving as stepping stones for Demon Slayer Corps swordsmen to advance to become Pillars.
"Find the traitor, kill the traitor. I'm only giving you two years."
If you can't do that, then the Lower Moon has no reason to exist.
"Yes, Lord Muzan."
The Lower Moon demons immediately prostrated themselves on the ground and agreed.
While I felt a sense of relief, I also felt immense pressure.
If the traitors cannot be eliminated within two years, Muzan will definitely carry out a major purge, and they will also perish.
Thinking of this, all the Lower Moon demons present became alert and vowed to kill that damned traitor.
As for whether they can defeat or kill the traitor, they don't need to worry about that.
After all, this was an order given to them by Lord Muzan. When a traitor is discovered, everyone should work together, rather than each person fighting alone to kill the traitor.
After all, that traitor was able to kill Lower Moon Two, Pero, so he must have been quite strong.
There really weren't many Lower Moon demons on the scene who were confident they could single-handedly defeat the traitor.
At that moment, the sound of a pipa rang out, and all the Lower Moon demons except for Lower Moon Five, Rui, disappeared from their original spot.
"I'm tired. Stop playing house. If you can't complete the task, I won't show any mercy!"
As he spoke, Muzan's right hand began to extend and lengthen, piercing into the body of Lower Moon Five, Rui, and injecting his own blood.
In an instant, Rena's depleted demon blood, which had been depleted from frequently creating family members, was replenished once again, and the amount of demon blood in her body even increased compared to before.
At the same time, the text on his eyes changed from "Lower Moon Five" to "Lower Moon Two," clearly indicating that Rei's strength had increased significantly.
It can only be said that Muzan is extremely fond of Rui, who has a similar experience.
"Lord Muzan, I will bring the traitor before you so that you may execute him personally."
Lei, kneeling on the ground, calmly uttered his vow.
Seeing this, Muzan revealed a satisfied smile.
Then, accompanied by the sound of a pipa, Rui was teleported out of the Infinite City.
……
Located in the Kumotori Mountains of Saitama Prefecture, which is connected to Tokyo.
While Yunqu Mountain is called a single mountain, it is actually a continuous mountain range. Due to its high altitude, the summit area is covered in snow year-round.
In later generations, it naturally attracted many tourists to come and see the magnificent snow scene and play in the snow.
However, due to poor road traffic and incomplete facilities, there were naturally not many tourists coming.
At this very moment, the tranquility deep within the Yunqu Mountains was shattered by a group of outsiders.
They carried wood, cement, and steel, and began hammering away at a flat area on a mountaintop.
It appears that a rather large mansion is under construction deep in the mountains.
Meanwhile, many of the orphans who had been taken in were gathered in an open space, waving wooden swords and sweating profusely.
This amazed the workers, but it still had many supporters.
Neither the supporters nor the owners explicitly opposed the mansion owner taking in and training the orphans.
After all, in order to survive, those orphans would only steal and cause trouble for their neighbors, and eventually die on the streets one day.
Now that someone can take them in and give them a way to survive, it's a good thing for both the local residents and the orphans.
