Upon hearing Qianxia's words, the lord lying on the bedding on the floor had a slight change in expression.
"You think so too...? Actually, I think so too... This morning, Shinobu told me about the poison... It's time to kill Muzan..."
Even his simple speech sounded weak and powerless, a state of frailty that far surpassed his physical condition when he faced Muzan at the end of the original story.
One month... at most one month.
After taking a deep breath, Chika, who was sitting next to the lord, suddenly changed her expression.
"My lord, if I'm not mistaken, you want to deliberately expose the location of the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters to lure Muzan here, right?"
The lord, lying on the bedding, was stunned. He had only told his wife and children about this plan, and had not told anyone else. After all, he had only made this decision after Shinobu Kocho told him that the ultimate poison was completed that morning.
"Let me guess again, does the master intend to lure Muzan into his room and then detonate a large amount of gunpowder buried inside? Does he want to severely injure Muzan with his own life?"
Chika's next words struck the lord's heart once again, truly a case of "startling him from his deathbed." A medical miracle had once again appeared beside the lord, and with a "whoosh!" the lord, his face full of shock, climbed out of bed.
At this moment, the expression on his face seemed to be a complaint that Qianxia was like a tapeworm in his stomach, how did she know all this?
Faced with her shocked lord, Qianxia simply smiled faintly and continued, "My lord, do you believe me?"
"letter."
The lord, slightly out of breath, nodded to Chika. He had trusted Chika from the very beginning, especially now that Chika had personally and indirectly defeated five Upper Moons.
Five...that's five Upper Moons!
The Lower Moon is replaced by another one after it is destroyed. Basically, every era has seen a Lower Moon killed. However, the Upper Moon had not changed for more than a hundred years before that.
The entire Demon Slayer Corps, including the Master, trusts Chinatsu without exception. Although Chinatsu has not yet been officially recognized as a Pillar, the members of the Demon Slayer Corps privately refer to her as "Miracle."
The weakened lord looked at Chika with expectant eyes, while Chika responded to his expectations with a confident expression.
"My lord, your plan is good, whether it's actively luring Muzan or using gunpowder to injure him, but the price is your life, which is not worth it. So let me do it in your place. I will become the bait to lure Muzan!"
As she stepped out of the lord's residence, Qianxia took a deep breath.
In a short period of time, she resolved one after another the emotional problems of Giyu Tomioka and the two people who wanted to perish together with Muzan. Chinatsu felt that if there were a title bar above her head, it would definitely be the six words "Master of Emotional Management".
The discovery of the ultimate poison signifies that the initiative to start the battle in the Infinite City has been activated, but the lord's weakened body has reduced this advantage to a period of only one month.
Besides, it's impossible for Chika to really drag it out to 29 days or something, what if the lord dies halfway through?
As she walked, Qianxia raised her hand and pressed it to her forehead, still unable to understand why her lord's body was even weaker than at this stage in the original story. Had the heavens cast another curse upon him?
Chika muttered to herself. At this point, she couldn't firmly be a materialist. After all, this involved reincarnation and seeing souls. The master's family was even cursed by something that was unknown, whether it was a god or a product of the world's consciousness.
What a piece of trash...
Chika strolled leisurely to the training area. It was already late at night, and if Chika had been an hour later, everyone in the training area would have been preparing to leave.
After such a long period of training, although none of them had activated their markings, their strength had improved significantly. Even disregarding swordsmanship, their physical attributes were not much worse than when they had activated their markings in the original work.
This pleased Chika, because the stronger they were, the greater their combat power would be in the battle of the Infinite Castle, and the more likely they would be to safely greet the sun the day after the battle of the Infinite Castle.
As Chika arrived, everyone in the training ground stopped what they were doing and looked at her with puzzlement.
They weren't slow-witted people; some of them, like the Stone Pillar and the Flame Pillar, had even opened up the "Transparent World." They clearly sensed that Chinatsu had something to say.
"Everyone, our lord may not be able to hold on much longer."
"What!"
Sanemi Shinazugawa's eyes widened, and he let out a gasp. Everyone around him also showed expressions of unease and sadness.
Our lord is a very special person. Although he is physically weak and unable to fight, he is gentle and broad-minded. Most of the swordsmen in the Demon Slayer Corps have great respect for our lord. Now that they hear the news that our lord is about to die, how can they not be sad?
"Chika, you must have more to say than just this!"
The words of Rengoku Kyojuro broke the somber atmosphere. Chinatsu nodded and continued, "Our lord is about to collapse, and the only way to save him is to kill Muzan. Once Muzan is dead, the curse on our lord will disappear. You all should understand what I mean."
As soon as Chika said this, everyone immediately understood what she meant.
Sanemi Shinazugawa clenched his fists and said excitedly, "Yes! Kill Muzan! As long as we kill Muzan, our lord can live!"
The somber atmosphere was instantly shattered, and everyone showed excited expressions. Although it was normal to consider that some people would sacrifice themselves in this battle, no one present talked about this part.
Chika then explained the plan to everyone present. They listened intently, knowing this was their final battle as Demon Slayer swordsmen, regardless of the outcome…
The final battle at the Infinity Castle was scheduled for a week later. The original plan was to reveal the location tomorrow and start the battle within three days. However, at the end of the meeting, Obanai Iguro and Muichiro Tokito, who were usually very quiet, raised their arms almost simultaneously.
Under the tutelage of Kyojuro and Gyomei Himejima, they have vaguely touched the door to "understanding the world," and they hope to be given a little more time.
Chika agreed with their opinion, since if the two of them could also awaken the "Transparent World", it would definitely be of great help in the battle of the Infinite Castle.
Meanwhile, Chika approached the lord's wife, Amane, and asked her to do everything she could to give the lord the tonics, and not to worry about side effects. After all, if you were to worry about side effects, you'd have to wait until they appeared while he was still alive...
