Chapter 15 On the Road

In a temple in a certain village, a demon with four braids and blue markings on its head slowly rose.

Beside him was only a skeleton dressed in a monk's blood-stained robe.

"This is delicious..." Kamae licked his lips.

The candlelight in the room shone on his face, illuminating the word "Xia Lu" in his left eye.

But before he could savor the moment for long, a faint sound of a pipa rang out.

Fu Nue's feet suddenly lost their footing, and when she came to her senses, she found herself in a strange space.

Here, various Japanese-style gates and buildings intersect and combine to form a boundless city.

This wasn't the first time Kamehameha had entered the Infinity Castle, and he immediately understood that Lord Muzan needed to gather them together for some business.

But before he could look up and find Muzan's figure, a huge fleshy tentacle enveloped him, and countless sharp teeth like interlocking canines instantly crushed and devoured him.

The Lower Moon Six thus transformed into nourishment, flowing along its tentacles into the body of the boy not far away.

"Phew... I'm almost recovered." The boy with the 6/4 parted hair slowly opened his eyes, revealing a pair of plum-red vertical pupils.

The next moment, his figure suddenly grew taller, transforming back into his original middle-aged appearance.

After being severely injured by Chu Wuji, Muzan retreated to the Infinity Castle and devoured all the Lower Moons except Rui to restore his energy.

But the more Muzan saw how easily the Lower Moons could be defeated in front of him, the more he felt that his creation of the Lower Moons was a mistake.

"Too weak! A bunch of useless trash!"

It's one thing to not be able to find the Ubuyashiki mansion and the blue spider lily, but now that such a terrifying being has appeared in the world, they haven't even noticed.

I was just a little bit short, just a little bit short!

The fear from the memory turned into rage, and the shockwaves that spread out shattered the surrounding tatami mats.

Taking a deep breath, Muzan finally managed to calm himself down a little.

Just now, Muzan gave Nakime some blood again.

Although Nakime can release her eyeballs to provide herself with a view of the outside world, the number of eyeballs is still too small.

Before figuring out that person's movements, Muzan would never casually step out of the Infinity Castle.

"Narika, summon Akaza."

"Yes, Lord Muzan." On the tatami mat not far away, a woman holding a biwa gently plucked a string. The door opened from the air.

A pink-haired demon wearing a purplish-red short shirt and covered in blue and green tattoos fell from the sky.

Akaza, who was suddenly summoned by Nakime, was taken aback, then immediately knelt down on one knee: "Lord Muzan."

"Go find a few suitable people and turn them into ghosts."

Akaza, though puzzled, nodded nonetheless: "Your subordinate obeys."

After giving the instructions, Muzan turned away and stopped talking.

Just now, a plan arose in his mind.

No matter how strong that person is, he is still just a human being like Yoriichi Tsugikuni, and his physical strength is always limited.

As long as enough ghosts are sent, they can eventually exhaust his stamina.

Then I will personally devour it to vent my hatred.

The moment this idea came to mind, Muzan felt that his plan was perfect.

Why didn't Yoriichi Tsugikuni think of this when he was alive a hundred years ago?

"Mr. Chu, this is the place where those flowers grow."

Kamado Aoi led Chu Wuji to an open space behind the Kamado family's house and pointed to the snow-covered ground: "Those flowers are beautiful, but they only bloom once every few years."

"Is that so? Thank you." Chu Wuji nodded, squatted down to sweep away the snowflakes, and then gently began to dig the soil with the hoe he had brought.

Not long ago, Chu Wuji brought Tanjiro, who had turned into a demon, and Giyu Tomioka back to the Kamado family. After telling Kamado Aoi about the situation, although she was very worried about Tanjiro's condition as a mother, the best thing to do now was to listen to Giyu Tomioka, who seemed to know the most about demons.

After a conversation, Yoshiyuki Tomioka suggested that the Kamado family move to their master's place to avoid being retaliated against by evil spirits.

Then he led Chu Wuji and Tanjiro to find someone within the Demon Slayer Corps who had done research on this topic, in order to find a way to solve Tanjiro's demon transformation.

Although she was reluctant to leave the home she had lived in for so long, Kamado Aoi had no choice but to agree to move for the safety of the children.

Before leaving, Chu Wuji casually mentioned to Kamado Aoi that he wanted to find a blue spider lily as a medicinal ingredient, taking advantage of his identity as a "traveler".

Upon hearing that her benefactor had crossed the ocean to find what she knew, Kamado Aoi quickly brought Chu Wuji to this place.

The soil was frozen solid in the depths of winter, but Chu Wuji was strong enough that he dug out a bunch of bulbous stems in just a few strokes.

"Is this the bulb of the blue spider lily?" Chu Wuji observed it carefully for a long time, but still couldn't see anything unique about it, so he put it into the suitcase along with the surrounding soil.

The second biggest reward from this dungeon run is here!

He's one step closer to becoming the perfect ghost that Chu Wuji plans!

Of course, Chu Wuji wasn't worried that Tomioka Giyuu would know about the Blue Spider Lily, because in the original story, no one knew that Muzan was looking for the Blue Spider Lily until the very end.

It's worth mentioning that the blue spider lily was later killed by Inosuke's descendants, who specialized in botany, and became completely extinct.

Back at the Kamado family home, their belongings had already been loaded onto a cart, and along with Tanjiro, who was packed into a bamboo basket, they were pulled by Giyu Tomioka towards Mount Sagiri.

During this time, Nezuko and Kamado Aoi wanted to take over the cart, but they had to give up after being met with Giyu Tomioka's expressionless gaze.

Tanjiro, having been instructed by Chu Wuji not to reveal his special ability to see light for the time being, remained motionless in the bamboo basket, pretending to be dead.

There is a distance between Mount Sagiri and the Kamado family's home; according to Giyuu's calculations, it would take them about twenty days to walk there.

Despite his fruitful harvest, Chu Wuji was not in a hurry. Every day, besides traveling and practicing martial arts, he would also take in the scenery of the primeval forest, which was rarely seen in reality.

Time passed quietly, and fifteen days had passed since the group embarked on their journey. The temperature gradually warmed up, and much of the snow on the road had melted away.

After another day of travel, as dusk approached, since there were no villages nearby, the group had no choice but to find an open space to pitch their tents.

Yiyong found a tree trunk to lean against and sat down, watching the children playing around in the Kamado family, a smile appearing on his lips.

Just then, Chu Wuji suddenly stood up.

"What's wrong?"

"There are ghosts coming, three of them."

The system level upgrade is not like regular training, which only improves a part of physical attributes.

Chu Wuji's improvement is comprehensive. With his current sense of smell, except for the inability to smell "emotions", it is comparable to Tanjiro's superhuman talent.
