Chapter 151 Li Muyang: Successful Infiltration
"What?! Master is going to use himself as bait to lure out the Demon King Muzan?!" Tanjiro was even more nervous after learning about Li Muyang's plan! What a joke! How dare you agree to such a plan? Don't you care about Master's life at all?
If something goes wrong, does the teacher think he can fight his way out of the demons' stronghold all by himself?
Zhongzhu (；￣д￣): Although I can hardly believe it, with Mr. Li's strength... it's really possible!
Tanjiro(′-i_-｀):...Huh?
The young man's values were shaken, and for a moment he didn't know what to say.
It was the brothers Kanroji and Tokito who persuaded Tanjiro to calm down. They said that the most important thing right now was to increase his strength. Since he had touched the threshold of the Demon Slayer Mark, it was time for him to awaken it!
As for the teacher, you don't need to worry at all. The teacher has the Yata Mirror, one of the Three Sacred Treasures. Not to mention demons, even Muzan can't hurt him!
In fact, with the current strength of the Demon Slayer Corps, it is already enough to even out the fight with Muzan's side, and that doesn't even take into account the situation of Li Muyang and his group!
Keep in mind that this also includes Bai Yuxiu, Feng Ling'er, Lu You, Bai Gui Ye Xing, and Li Yichen!
In other words, if Li Muyang is determined to kill Muzan, he already has enough manpower and combat strength!
The reason they kept showing weakness was because they were worried that if they showed too much fighting power, they would scare the boss so much that he would run away and hide in the side, too scared to show his face!
Japan is small, but it's also very big! If Muzan scares them away from the country, that would be even more troublesome!
Secondly, they use Muzan as a tool to command others. As long as the Demon King is not eliminated, the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps is legitimate, and the Japanese government will have no excuse. As a result, those old demons in Tokyo will have to live in fear!
These three old demons are unaware that they have been exposed within the Demon Slayer Corps; otherwise, the Demon Slayer Corps wouldn't be in such a favorable situation!
In this era that was still in the modern period, there was no pressure from public opinion; only power and might mattered.
The theft of the Blue Spider Lily is enough to prove that those three old demons also have people within the Demon Slayer Corps!
Only the three Pillars, Tanjiro, and a few other members are confirmed to be safe; everyone else is a suspect.
This was a bit disheartening for Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps. He hadn't expected there to be problems within his own ranks! The Demon Slayer Corps is basically made up of people who have a grudge against demons!
It's also possible that those members didn't realize the true nature of the people they were helping. But a mistake is a mistake, and this incident has led Kagaya Ubuyashiki to decide to clean up the internal organization!
On the other side, Li Muyang, along with a group of ghosts, soon arrived in the Infinite City.
Surrounded by a group of evil spirits, Li Muyang, a human, was completely unconcerned, even adopting a touristy attitude as he leisurely looked around.
This naturally easily aroused the dissatisfaction of other ghosts, and a few who didn't like it were already preparing to teach them a lesson.
Hei Shimou noticed the commotion but ignored it. He also disliked Li Muyang's arrogant attitude, but the previous lesson made him wary of the divine artifact on Li Muyang's body.
We still don't know what that is.
Then, a Lower Moon demon that was originally eliminated by the scumbag boss quietly extended its claws towards Li Muyang.
"what!"
Burn +1.
Li Muyang smiled and reached out, grabbing his head and preparing to pull him up like a radish!
At the critical moment, Kokushibo made his move, severing the neck of the Lower Moon demon with a single sword strike. Well, it wasn't a Nichirin Blade, so it could still regenerate, which could be considered saving his life.
"Be more polite," Kokushibo said in a deep voice. "Your little tricks are no match for theirs."
After saying that, he looked at Li Muyang and said, "Could you tone it down a bit? You don't look like a prisoner at all!"
Upon hearing this, Li Muyang laughed heartily, instantly appearing in front of Kokushibo, and said, "Make this clear, I am not a prisoner you captured, but a guest who came with you on his own!"
"Besides, why should I bow and scrape to a bunch of guys weaker than me? You're not worthy!"
Overbearing arrogance! He's asking for it!
Unfortunately, no one could beat Old Li.
Faced with these bullies who prey on the weak and fear the strong, even if Li Muyang had to go undercover for a while, he would never back down! His knees were too hard! He couldn't kneel down!
Anyway, the worst that can happen is we just fight our way out, what's the difference?
Kokushibo's lips twitched, and he remained silent. To be honest, he didn't think much of the other demons either; they were just a bunch of fools and madmen blinded by power.
Ah.
Seeing this, the other ghosts could only be angry but dared not speak out. A lower-level ghost was almost killed instantly without any ability to resist, so who would dare to act recklessly? Li Muyang's ability to burn ghosts made all the ghosts present wary.
At this moment, Mr. Scum appeared, with Nakime by his side.
The group of ghosts immediately knelt down on one knee to pay their respects, all preparing to receive praise from their leader.
What they didn't notice was that, although the boss was expressionless, there was a clear hint of anger in his eyes.
Li Muyang and Hei Simu, the only two who did not kneel down to pay their respects, still noticed this.
"Hey! Judging from your appearance, you scumbag boss, did you go and attack the Demon Slayer Corps headquarters?" Li Muyang teased casually, showing no appreciation for Muzan's kindness, and even clapped his hands at Muzan.
Muzan's face immediately darkened. He wanted to teach her a lesson, but then he remembered the message Kokushibo had sent back. He snorted coldly and asked, "You are Li Muyang? The doctor from the Central Plains?"
"Nonsense, otherwise why would I come here? Didn't you come looking for me?" Li Muyang retorted without any politeness, "I know what you want, but I'm sorry, the Blue Spider Lily isn't with me right now!"
Kokushibo hasn't dared to tell Muzan this news yet.
Upon hearing this, the ghosts were startled! They thought the problem had been solved!
Even the half-dead Jade Pot, who was picked up by Kokushibo, is now sweating profusely with fear. He thought his elder brother brought him back to receive a reward, but now he feels like he's been brought back to be punished!
Sure enough, upon hearing this news, Muzan's originally handsome face immediately turned into one of rage, his veins bulging, his entire face twisted and terrifying. He didn't care whether he could attack Li Muyang or not, and transformed his arm into a twisted giant fleshy creature, grabbing it!
Faced with Muzan's attack, Li Muyang neither dodged nor avoided, letting the claws grip him firmly. Immediately afterward, Muzan sensed something was wrong. A wisp of green smoke was clearly seen coming from the part of Li Muyang's hand that was gripping him. Then, he let out a painful howl, and his mutated arm retracted, returning to its original state. Looking at his palm, Muzan was also stunned!
This kind of scar!
He could feel it perfectly clearly! It was definitely burned by the sun! And just as Kokushibo had said! It was imbued with an energy that could suppress its self-healing!
The other ghosts were also startled by what they saw! Even their leader couldn't hurt him?!
Li Muyang calmly spread his hands: "I told you not to arrest me, but you just wouldn't listen! I've already told you, I have a magical artifact on me, and as long as I want to, you can't hurt me!"
Muzan suppressed his rage and could only stare helplessly at Li Muyang. He didn't know how to deal with this hot potato! What kind of divine artifact is this!
Wait a minute, he suddenly remembered that a few years ago, there seemed to be a shrine maiden at Ise Shrine who awakened the Yata no Kagami!
No way! This guy in front of me actually seems to have a connection with this shrine maiden.
Given Muzan's cowardly nature, he was unwilling to provoke these priests and shrines easily. Who knew if they had any hidden tricks up their sleeves? Having lived for a thousand years, Muzan had still witnessed some supernatural beings!
Muzan is too much to gamble on.
"The Yata Mirror is with you?" Muzan asked, though his tone carried a hint of certainty.
Li Muyang nodded calmly, then changed the subject, saying, "I think the matter of the Blue Spider Lily is more important, isn't it?"
Muzan also suppressed his anger, showing little interest in the Yata Mirror and appearing much more indifferent, though his tone remained icy: "What exactly do you want?"
"It's nothing. I'm just researching how to turn ghosts back into humans. I need experimental subjects now." Li Muyang spread his hands and said, "There are no other requirements. The blue spider lily is useless for this experiment. I kept it to find you."
"Well... hehe, the day before your raid on the sword-forging village, it was stolen. It was probably the Oni who did it, but your family's Kokushibo said it wasn't you, so I don't know who it was. I only know it was the Oni."
"What?" Muzan was also taken aback upon hearing this. A demon?
The blue spider lily was stolen by our own people?
Why didn't he know?
He glanced at the Twelve Demon Moons. Them? Impossible!
Even if someone under his command tries to break free from his control and secretly steals the blue spider lily, he will be able to detect it.
Who is that?
Actually, the scumbag boss already had the answer in his heart.
Muzan wasn't stupid. Of course he knew that there were other demon princes in Japan who were slightly weaker than him. However, these demon princes rarely caused trouble and didn't have much conflict with him. They usually treated each other as if they didn't exist.
Most importantly, these three old ghosts have special identities, and if they are not careful, they may attract the attention of the entire Japan. Muzan does not want to be an enemy of the entire Japan.
Too much trouble!
But now... you actually dare to covet my Blue Spider Lily? You've rebelled! You've really rebelled!
These old devils were hiding too well, which made Muzan lower his guard. He didn't expect such a scene to happen at this time. Muzan is really angry!
Thinking of this, Muzan waved his hand, bestowing his blood upon the Twelve Demon Moons once more, and said, "This matter was handled quite well. Refine this blood as soon as possible! There is still a tough battle ahead!"
"You dare steal my things! You're asking for it!"
Seeing Muzan's attitude, Kokushibo understood that the scoundrel already knew who had stolen the Blue Spider Lily. Out of curiosity, he still asked, "Our next target is..."
