Chapter 138: Finally, they made contact with the Demon Slayer Corps.
Faced with the sudden appearance of Li Muyang, Douma did not rush to make a move. Instead, he observed Li Muyang's actions in treating Kocho Kanae with a meaningful curiosity. Meanwhile, Hanazono, who was lying in Li Muyang's arms and on the verge of death, also felt himself being enveloped by a gentle power, and his injuries were healing at a speed visible to the naked eye!
What kind of power is this? What happened? Barely opening his eyes, he saw a handsome and gentle young man's face.
"Take a break, you did a great job, I'll take over now." Li Muyang revealed a confident and gentle smile, gently handed Kocho Kanae to Bai Yuxiu who had caught up, and turned to summon the King's Sword and walk towards Doma.
"Since you didn't disturb my treatment just now, and you survived my sword strike, I'll spare your life tonight."
A cold voice echoed in the night sky.
Before Tongmo, who was still unaware of the seriousness of the situation, could react, Li Muyang silently drew the Wangquan Sword and unleashed a strike!
Only then did Douma realize just how powerful the unfathomable man before him truly was! In an instant! His mind raced! At the same time, an endless, powerful pressure descended from above, crushing him down! His body couldn't even transmit the sensation of pain to his brain!
There was no noise, nor any loud sound.
But before everyone's eyes, a bottomless pit stretching hundreds of meters out appeared silently in the blink of an eye! Everything in its path was destroyed! The thick, dark clouds that had previously obscured the crescent moon were now parted by the aftershocks of the sword strike, revealing a sky full of stars!
It's currently impossible to comb a blue star's hair in the middle; you can only comb it for a few kilometers.
As for Doma... Li Muyang sensed him and found he wasn't dead, but had escaped.
The reason for this is that his sword strike did not carry the power of his own Dao or the power of the Shennong Beast; it was simply a sword strike on both the physical and spatial levels, and its destructive power was astonishing!
Even so, even with Upper Moon Two's regenerative abilities, Doma is definitely severely injured now, and running away is his current limit! Right now, any member of the Demon Slayer Corps could kill him with a Nichirin Blade.
If possible, Li Muyang hopes to use the time he has left to train a trio of newbies or members of the Demon Slayer Corps to deal with the Twelve Demon Moons!
Of course, that includes Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er! Li Muyang hopes they can defeat the ghosts on their own without relying on his buffs!
He is a doctor, and doctor-patient issues are something Li Muyang needs to consider! As a friend, he naturally doesn't want his teammates to be a burden.
Healing Kanae's injuries is easy; she's just mentally exhausted and needs a good rest.
Perhaps sensing that there was no movement here, the Demon Slayer Corps members also rushed back. A girl who looked somewhat similar to Kanae Kocho, but with a more serious and earnest appearance, quickly ran over and came directly to Kanae Kocho, who was lying on the ground.
After checking on the flower pillar, the girl noticed that Kanae's injuries were healing at a visible speed, and she had almost fully recovered. Her breathing had also returned to normal. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and ask the people around her, "May I ask who you are...?"
"Excuse me, you must be from the Demon Slayer Corps, right?" Lu You said. "My young master wants to talk to your lord, Mr. Ubuyashiki Kagaya, about some things."
The girl turned to look at Li Muyang, who was smiling, and thought for a moment before saying, "I'm sorry, we can't give you a definite answer on this matter. However, we can convey the message for you. As for whether our lord is willing to meet with you, we can't guarantee that."
Li Muyang chuckled and nodded: "That's enough. If possible, please have this young lady take this sword to Mr. Ubuyashiki Kagaya. I believe that with this, he would be happy to meet me."
"Oh! By the way, this must be Miss Hanabira, right? If I'm not mistaken, she should be your older sister?"
The girl, Shinobu Kocho, the younger sister of Kanae Kocho and the Insect Pillar in the future storyline, accepted the sword handed to her by Li Muyang and nodded silently.
Li Muyang explained with a faint smile, "Don't worry, the injuries she sustained in the fight with the enemy have already been healed by me. She's just mentally exhausted, but she'll be fine after a rest!"
Shinobu Kocho seemed lost in thought. After a moment of silence, she uttered a word of thanks: "Thank you."
Before they knew it, the night had passed, the sun was rising, and Li Muyang and his group joined the Demon Slayer Corps returning to their base.
During the journey, the group was placed in a carriage and blindfolded, also to keep the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters safe.
However, Li Muyang said it had no effect on him; his Heavenly Eye was completely unaffected, and he simply pretended not to know.
Along the way, although they were blindfolded, it didn't affect Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er's conversations, along with Feng Feifei's and Butterfly Ninja's. Three women make a drama, not to mention there were four girls here! When several girls are together, they can create topics even if there aren't any!
They chatted enthusiastically about everything from everyday life to their experiences with the Demon Slayer Corps, showing no signs of getting tired.
There were only a few men, and they remained silent throughout.
Li Muyang was secretly observing the route, knowing he would definitely need it later. As for the others, Lu You was meditating and circulating his energy, while the other two were catching up on sleep in the carriage. They hadn't slept well last night, so why not sleep now?
After a long while, Shinobu Kocho spoke up, reminding everyone, "We've arrived."
Afterwards, she led the group to an empty room and explained, "Please wait a moment, everyone. My sister is still unconscious. I need to inform the lord before I can see him, which may take some time."
"It's alright, we have plenty of time." Li Muyang waved his hand with a light laugh, "Thank you for your help, Miss Shinobu Kocho."
Shinobu Kocho rarely showed a smile: "I should be the one saying thank you. If it weren't for your help, my sister would probably have been killed by that evil spirit."
I heard that after the Flower Pillar encountered Upper Moon Two, Shinobu Kocho was almost dead. In a one-on-one fight, most of the Pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps are no match for Upper Moon demons, not to mention that his own sister has only been a Pillar for a short time and her strength is only average.
She prayed constantly on the way, fearing that her older sister, Kanae Kocho, would die at the hands of Upper Moon Two. When she arrived and saw the aftermath, she was even more horrified!
Unexpectedly, a kind person saved my sister.
This relieved Shinobu Kocho.
Whether they were human or ghost, Shinobu Kocho believed she could still tell. Apart from three who looked like ordinary people, the rest of them were all experts.
Li Muyang, whom Lu You called "Young Master," could be seen with the naked eye, but his aura could not be sensed. Kocho Shinobu was even more certain that his raw strength was incredibly powerful!
Based solely on Li Muyang's act of saving Kanae Kocho, Shinobu Kocho cannot guarantee that this group of people harbors no ill will towards the Demon Slayer Corps. However, she is unlikely to repay kindness with enmity. It wouldn't be difficult for such people to find the Demon Slayer Corps. Even without her introduction today, they could find her through other people tomorrow.
Since it's all the same, it's better to inform the lord and the other pillars of the news as soon as possible and make preparations.
Therefore, she quickly agreed to Li Muyang's request.
After much fuss, Li Muyang and his group finally checked into the Demon Slayer Corps.
I thought the wait would be long, but to my surprise, Kanae Kocho woke up and came looking for me a short while later.
"Thank you so much for saving my life," Kanae said with a gentle smile and a bow.
Feng Ling'er and Bai Yuxiu quickly helped her up. Bai Yuxiu comforted her, saying, "Don't be so polite. When we have the ability, we should naturally lend a helping hand to those monsters."
Kanae shook her head: "It is your own will that you are willing to lend a helping hand, and it is my personal will to express my gratitude to you. We will not interfere with each other."
"By the way, Kanao told me that you and the others wish to discuss something with the Master. Would you mind telling me? Compared to Shinobu, I have more influence in the Demon Slayer Corps and it's easier for me to speak to the Master."
Bai Yuxiu and Feng Ling'er were now at a loss, and turned to look at Li Muyang, who was instructing the three newbies on their cultivation.
Li Muyang turned to look at her, having already thought of what to say. He smiled and asked, "It's a pleasure to see you so soon, Miss Huazhu. How is your recovery? Are you still feeling unwell?"
Kanae smiled and shook her head gently: "I have basically recovered. Sir, your medical skills are truly amazing. With my previous injuries, even if I hadn't died, it would have been impossible for me to regain my mobility in a short time. I didn't expect to recover so quickly. Thank you again for your treatment."
“Of course. You are fighting against the Demon King Muzan and his demons, protecting people’s lives. We’ve been watching the show for a while, and we can’t just stand by and do nothing when it’s time to step in.” After a few polite words, Li Muyang succinctly explained his purpose: “I understand what Miss Huazhu means. After all, we are of unknown origin, so it’s normal that you don’t trust us.”
"Our purpose in wanting to meet with Mr. Kagaya Ubuyashiki is very simple: to reach a cooperation agreement. We can help you defeat the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji. In return, I need you to do me a favor. Don't worry, this favor is not difficult, and we will try it after we have dealt with Muzan."
As he spoke, Li Muyang pointed to his group and said to Kocho Kanae, "Miss Hanabira should be able to tell that we are not locals from Japan."
Kanae nodded, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "If I'm not mistaken, you gentlemen... are you perhaps from the Central Plains?!"
Li Muyang nodded: "That's right, this is also what I need your help with. I want to investigate what happened in the Central Plains, so I need your help."
