Chapter 72 : The Beginning of the Fire This winter is warmer than last year ...

This winter is much warmer than last year . After the first snow , there has been very little bad weather .

Before winter , the headquarters was expanded and new wisteria trees were planted . In a few years , they will be as lush as the ones on Tengxi Mountain .

After a year of training , the swordsmen were completely transformed . The swordsmen who were able to pass the final selection were already quite talented . Since a group of swordsmen died in Nada Spider Mountain , the remaining swordsmen took it as a warning and trained extra hard .

Although the lord did not say it explicitly , everyone vaguely felt some kind of omen .

The storm is coming .

In late winter and early spring , the grass and trees have begun to revive , but there is still residual snow on the leaves .

About three miles away from the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters , there is a small attic hidden deep in the woods . Lights are on on the second floor , and a slender figure appears on the window .

The figure gradually approached , and then the window was opened . The silver-haired young man had his back to the light in the house , and a layer of soft light was outlined around him . His eyebrows were calm , and he only looked at the sky outside .

The sun began to set .

Several figures vaguely appeared in the woods .

Behind him , a woman in a kimono opened the suitcase , took out the contents , and placed them carefully on the table .

Usugaba Nagisa closed the window again and looked at Tamayo : " They 're here . "​​​

The pillar and swordsman who escorted Tamayo to the headquarters .

Tamayo was slightly startled , looking down at the neatly stacked potions on the table . She said softly , " The thought of being able to participate in the plan to kill Muzan fills me with an unprecedented excitement . "

Those confused memories and experiences from hundreds of years ago tormented her all the time . The more this happened , the more she wanted to kill Muzan and that ungrateful person .

A hint of determination flashed across those eyes that were always filled with melancholy .

She turned and looked at Bo Yezhu by the window . Her lips moved as if she was about to say something , but in the end she only let out a long sigh and said , " Goodbye . "

Bo Ye Zhu looked at her and said , " Are you sure you want to hide it from him ? "

" I just want Yushiro to have a good sleep . " Tamayo 's voice was light .

There was almost no light in those melancholy purple eyes . With the passage of hundreds of generations and her long -cherished wish that would last until her death , she would not allow any mistakes .

She looked at the potions on the table again . There were seven of them in total . They were specially developed by her to stabilize the lord's condition ... ... The lord 's health was getting worse and worse .

There was a sound of a door opening downstairs .

Tamayo came back to her senses and glanced at Uroba Nagisa , who nodded at her as a farewell .

Only Bo Yezhu was left in the small hall on the second floor .

But soon , there was a lot of noise coming from downstairs . Bo Yezhu was puzzled , but he did not go down to check . He just stared at the table in a daze .

After a long while , the noise below gradually died down , the door was opened , and soon the sound of carriage wheels rolling over the road was heard .

Tamayo leaves .​

I don’t know how long it took , but the feeling of the blood became stronger and stronger . Bo Yezhu came to his senses, frowned , and pushed open half of the window . Soon , a crow flew over .

" Tell them it's about five miles away , just wait until nightfall . " The young man whispered .

The crow 's eyes rolled , and it flapped its wings and flew away , quickly disappearing into the woods .

The dense woods blocked most of the sunlight , and the attic was dark , with only the lights on on the second floor . Bo Ye Zhu closed the window again , and this time he pulled the blackout curtains .

The medicine on the table was placed on a tray prepared early in the morning . Bo Ye Zhu went over to pick it up , then walked to the corridor , went all the way to the end , and pushed open a door .

Because the door was quite old , it made a small sound when it was opened , and Bo Yezhu walked into the room .

The facilities inside were very complete . He carefully placed the tray on the counter at the side , then turned and looked at the shelf by the window , where a red umbrella was quietly placed .

Success or failure will only happen tonight .

There was a faint smell of medicine in the house . It was the medicine that Butterfly Ninja had sprayed not long ago to prevent poisonous insects from sneaking into the house .

In the dim environment , there was only the golden light coming through the window , covering the red umbrella and forming a light and shadow on the ground .

Urobe Nagisa withdrew her gaze from the red umbrella and turned to look at Ubuyashiki Kyouya , who had his eyes closed on the bed on the other side .

The aura of death shrouded the young man 's face , and the disfigured half of his face turned dark purple , and he was almost on the verge of death .

If Wucan survives tonight , my lord will die .​

Bo Yezhu stared at the deathly aura that kept churning on the face , which was extremely rampant , but he was also afraid of the red umbrella in the house , so he stayed there reluctantly .

The sun sets .

There was less than an hour left until nightfall .

He lowered his eyes , left the room and closed the door again .​

A cat squatted at the top of the stairs , looking at him .

Bo Ye Zhu was slightly startled , then bent over to pick up the cat and lowered his voice : " Mrs. Zhu Shi actually left you here ? "

The kitten did n't make a sound , but just shook its tail , jumped out of his arms and ran to the first floor .

Bo Ye Zhu frowned and followed it down .​

He had just come to this attic today . It was Tamayo who was here before . After coming here , he did not go to see what was inside the closed rooms on the first floor .

There was just a rather spacious inner hall on the first floor , which was prepared for him .

Bo Yezhu followed the cat to the first floor . The door in front was closed . There were two lights on each side of the inner hall . There were six doors on both sides , all closed . The cat stopped in front of one of the doors , which was the first door on the left side of the stairs .

Doubt flashed in his eyes , but he still followed the kitten 's wishes and opened the door .

There was a dim light on inside . A figure was sitting at the table with his back to him . After hearing the noise , he turned around as if he had realized something .

After seeing the man clearly , Bo Ye Zhu 's pupils shrank .

" Mrs. Tianyin— " he could n't help but shout .​​

Tianyin looked at him , her expression a little blurry due to the dimness in the room , and she raised a finger to her lips .

Bo Yezhu glanced and was surprised to find two little girls lying on the bed . They were probably two of the quintuplets . They had their eyes closed and seemed to be sleeping soundly .

He came here on orders , knowing only that his lord was temporarily housed in the attic , but he didn't expect Tianyin was there too , and even had two children with her .

Tianyin stood up and walked towards him .

The two of them walked out of the room , closed the door , and stood in the empty inner hall . Bo Ye Zhu spoke with a wry smile on his face : " Am I the only one left here ? "

Tianyin nodded and explained , " Only you and I , my lord , know this plan . Mr. Zhenren knows you won't be participating in the battle , but he doesn't know where you 're going . "

Three days ago , the master received orders to leave the headquarters and rush to the Swordsmith Village . The trip was originally scheduled to take one day , but he did not return the next day .

The next day , Bo Yezhu suddenly felt that the black shadows were moving unusually and began to gather in a large area . He immediately reported it to Tianyin .

Tianyin knew it earlier than him — the Shenli family 's predictive ability appeared again .​​​

As early as two months ago , a detailed and thorough battle plan had been finalized . Usugaba Nagisa was responsible for guarding the bloodline of Ubuyashiki , and Masato was confirmed to join the battle with other swordsmen .

" But ... where are Huiliya and the others ? " Bo Ye Zhu was sure that the two children lying inside were not Huiliya , so where did the other three children go ?

Tianyin said , " They are with the swordsmen . "​

" Huilizai , it's time to shoulder the responsibility of being the head of the family . "

Usoba Nagisa was shocked at first . You know , although Ubuyashiki Teriyaki was the heir , he was only a few years old . Then he thought of something and frowned .

Tianyin took a look at the inner hall . There was only a table in front of it , with some common items in the shrine on it . It was requested by Uroba Nagisa .

" Nagisa . " She looked back at Uroha Nagisa , her expression much more serious . " The extent of Infinite City is beyond the reach of prophecy . If anything unexpected happens tonight , I will head to where Teriya is . I entrust the two children to you . "​

" Madam Tianyin , " Bo Yezhu hesitated , but finally nodded , " I will do my best . "​

His brows were furrowed , and he was obviously feeling a lot of pressure .

Tianyin bowed to him and turned to walk back to the room she had just been in . The cat squatted beside her , looking at her back and wagging its tail .

The last rays of sunset faded into the mountains .

Demon Slayer Corps Headquarters .

The real person was sitting in the house with the doors on both sides open . The swordsmen were training as usual , just as he remembered . After going through the training of all the pillars except the Water Pillar , Tanjiro went to find Tomioka Giyuu , as if he was determined to get to the bottom of things .

In front of him , a Sun Blade lay quietly on the ground .

This is his Nichirin Sword .​​

It has been kept in the bottom of the box for many years . It is only taken out and used when Bo Ye Zhu 's sword is damaged and the sword -forging village has not delivered a new sword .

Bo Ye Zhu disliked that his knife was too heavy .

He didn't need a knife either .

After all these years , this Nichirin Sword is still as sharp as when I first got it .

A crow flew over and landed on the porch outside his house . It cried , " Five miles ! Five miles ! "

The real person looked at the crow and nodded .

It's time to get ready .

He stood up and grabbed the overly heavy Nichirin Sword . Bo Ye Zhu did n't have much arm strength before and thought it was too heavy , but Zhenren held it in his hand with ease .

The cursed spirit left the room and walked towards the courtyard behind the headquarters .

On his way to the backyard , he ran into Ubuyashiki Teriya , who looked at him and said , " Mr. Masatoshi . "

" I 'm going to visit the lord . Azhu is there too, right ? " the immortal said .

Ubuyashiki Teriyaki nodded . He saw Ubuyashiki Nagisa going to the courtyard over there today . It must be that his mother Tianyin had something to discuss .​​​

Stars have appeared in the sky , a crescent moon hangs on the horizon , and night falls .

Masato said goodbye to Ubuyashiki Teriya and continued walking towards the courtyard at the back . His way was unobstructed and he could n't even see the swordsman waiting near the courtyard .

It seems that Tianyin has made preparations in advance .

The real person stood in the center of the huge courtyard , and there was silence all around .

He raised his hand , and the curse power surged . Three figures emerged from the room . Except for their stiff eyes , they were exactly the same as Tianyin and the two children .

[ Inaction Transformation ] can transform a person 's soul , but it is impossible to achieve a one- to - one replica . He once obtained a kind of vampire magic in the past , and combined with the vampire magic of Nightmare , it is enough to disguise it to the point of being indistinguishable from the real thing .

The real person looked up at the stars above his head .

Then he stood silently in a dark corner , and the blood demon magic enveloped the entire courtyard , merging with the cursed power .

As soon as he stood still , his crow noticed something unusual .

Through the " eyes " of the crow , he immediately saw that the wisteria forest started to catch fire from certain places , and then spread wildly , quickly attracting the attention of the Demon Slayer Corps .

Some people shouted " Enemy attack " while others hurried to fetch water to put out the fire .

The night wind was cold , and he smelled a familiar scent .

The curse spirit raised his eyes .

I saw a figure standing at the gate of the courtyard .

Here it comes .
