Come on~ open your mouth~
The lord's wife, Tianyin, sat beside him, affectionately feeding her immobile husband.
On the surface, this seemed like such an enviable thing, but the lord did not feel any happiness. This series of tonics was fed into his mouth, and unlike his weak appearance, his stomach seemed a little... full?
Their children stood by and watched the couple's actions silently. Although they saw a hint of "distress" in their father's eyes, they had been warned by their mother beforehand and ignored it.
Keep going, Father!
Please try your best to live on!
While the lord was frantically trying to extend his life, Obanai Iguro and Muichiro Tokito were frantically trying to replenish their experience points in the "Transparent World".
They already felt guilty for voluntarily requesting a postponement of the start of the war. If they still couldn't grasp the "Transparent World" during this extended period, it wouldn't be as simple as just losing face.
The others stopped training and began to recuperate, since they had been training day and night at high intensity. If their bodies accumulated fatigue, it could cause serious problems.
As time passed day by day, Obanai Iguro and Muichiro Tokito successfully mastered the Transparent World within the allotted time, and four of the nine Pillars thus arrived.
As the seventh day arrived, the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was leaked through various channels in the most natural way possible.
The many ordinary demons who were tasked by Muzan to find the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters within a year were very astute in capturing this information and excitedly and frantically called out to Muzan in their minds, wanting to report this news.
Ordinary demons were not qualified to contact Muzan, but in this year Muzan specially opened the connection between himself and ordinary demons, which allowed ordinary demons to make a "phone call" to Muzan.
Of course, while ordinary ghosts are granted the right to "make phone calls," they cannot abuse it.
If an ordinary demon reports something that Muzan considers unimportant, or if the information reported is false, Muzan will crush the demon's body from a distance.
Even so, during this period, ordinary demons would still frequently "call" Muzan, because they had no idea that Muzan would so ruthlessly crush their bodies. Demons generally did not act together, so information about demons being crushed by Muzan was not shared.
After the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters was leaked to an ordinary demon, this ordinary demon wisely did not directly call Muzan's "phone," but instead went to the perimeter of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to conduct a reconnaissance beforehand.
After confirming that this place was very likely hiding the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, the ordinary demon genius excitedly dialed Muzan's "phone".
At this moment, Muzan was sitting cross-legged in the Infinite Castle, calming his mind and cultivating his character. Don't ask him why he didn't do anything else; the answer is that he's very angry, extremely angry.
"Lord Wuhan! Lord Wuhan!"
"explain."
Muzan, who was sitting cross-legged, raised an eyebrow and opened his mouth somewhat impatiently. Ever since he sent his ordinary demons to search for news of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters and Chika, ordinary demons had been coming to him almost every day.
He stated that he gave this group of trash the right to call out, not so that they could bother him. Every time he received their report, he would consciously restrain the urge to clean up all the ordinary ghosts.
"Lord Muzan, I've found the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters!"
"Did you... conduct a preliminary survey?"
"Yes! I wouldn't dare report unverified information to you. Although I only surveyed the perimeter, I believe there's a very high possibility that this is the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters!"
Muzan's expression hardened. He turned to look at Nakime, who was sitting on the deck in the distance, controlling the Infinity Castle, and asked her to use her abilities to investigate whether what this ordinary demon said was true.
"Nekome!"
"yes."
Nakime lowered her head and gently plucked a note on her biwa. Instantly, a bloodshot eyeball materialized beside the ordinary demon who was delivering the message.
The eyeball lurked in the air and flew leisurely toward the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters, which ordinary demons dared not approach. After bypassing countless lush trees, Nakime's eyeball flew to the outer wall of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters.
As her eyeballs rose, the vast architectural area of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters came into view.
Upon seeing this, Nakime from Infinite Castle trembled with excitement, her cheeks flushing slightly.
"Lord Muzan... Lord Muzan... This... This really seems to be the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters..." Nakime's voice trembled slightly. During this time, she had been trying to find the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters with her own abilities, but she had made no progress. She never expected that it would end so suddenly.
Muzan was somewhat incredulous, because it was indeed too sudden. For a moment, Muzan's cowardly nature made him think, "This might be a trap," but he denied it the next second.
Even if it really is a trap, so what?
I am Muzan Kibutsuji, the King of Demons, a being nearly perfect. Aside from that dead man, who in this world have I ever feared?!
Muzan used his inflated confidence to completely eliminate any trace of fear in his heart.
That man is dead!
That man is dead!
That man is dead!
Muzan's subconscious kept urging him forward, and a sharp glint appeared beneath his scarlet eyes.
"here you go!!!"
Muzan gave the ordinary demon who was reporting the information an approving comment, which made the demon overjoyed.
Just as he was fantasizing that he had made such a great contribution that he would be promoted to the Lower Moon or even the Upper Moon, Muzan's next words chilled him to the bone.
"Very good, you have made the most of your final moments."
The ordinary demon was stunned, and before he could react to what Muzan meant, his body began to act strangely.
Inside the Infinite Castle, Muzan merely opened his hand and then clenched it, causing the ordinary demon who had reported the information to swell violently like an inflating balloon. In just two or three seconds, the demon exploded from the inside out, becoming as cold as could be.
Muzan had already begun to fantasize about consuming Chika and becoming a truly perfect being who was not afraid of sunlight.
Just thinking about it makes me so excited!!!
Unfortunately, it's already very close to dawn, so we can't get up and go out now.
"Tomorrow night, I'm really looking forward to it..."
