The Sanyashiki family's mansion is very secretive.

In the sky, a black crow hovered and fell, flew into the elegant courtyard, and landed in the corridor.

The contemporary head of the Sanyashiki clan and the leader of the Demon Slayer team, Kuno strolls over.

The man wears long and silky black hair over the ears, has an approachable temperament, gentle eyebrows and eyes, and clogs on his feet.

"It's Liu Yuan..."

Kuno recognized the crow.

Liu Yuan is a very good swordsman among the members of the second class of the Demon Slayer and the inheritor of the breath of the wind, and this time he was appointed to a place called Camellia Gang to find traces of ghosts and kill them. Now that the crow has returned, it is likely that the mission has been completed.

Hisano smiled slightly, and couldn't help but feel relieved.

He cares about the safety of every member of the Demon Slayer Team.

Everyone is shouldering a mission and working together to fulfill a wish.

Kill the ghost dance Tsuji without misery.

It's just a pity that in his generation ... No tragic whereabouts have been found.

"Mystery man! Black Haori... Strange breathing method, kill the ghost..."

The crow jumped to Kuno's feet, tilted his head, looked at the lord, and suddenly shouted.

"Huh?"

Upon hearing this, Hinano's face changed slightly.

Hurriedly crouched down, took off the letter paper from the crow's feet, unfolded it, and read it carefully.

Then, the gaze became glazed...

On the paper was Liu Yuan's report on the mission, which mentioned a man in detail.

With an ordinary katana, you can kill with one blow and cut off the head of the ghost.

“……”

The white paper fell from his hand, and Kuno's expression changed from stunned to ecstatic and excited.

His bloodline was cursed because of Wu Misery, and most of them didn't live long... In order to be able to fulfill their long-cherished wish, the Sanyashiki clan did their best to help the members of the Demon Slayer Team and do everything they could.

Although they can't fight with swords in person, they spare no effort to play a valuable role in other aspects, such as learning the information of each ghost in advance through the intelligence network they have built, avoiding casualties among the members of the ghost killing team, or opening up some convenience through the shogunate.

There is also the collaboration between the 'hidden' troops and the members of the front line.

Ensure that the ghost killing team is a whole, protect the information of each member, prevent them from being retaliated by ghosts, etc.

There are also plans to be arranged for different tasks... These trivial things have to be deployed by him, there are too many.

It's very draining.

But it can't be helped... As a member of the Sanyashiki clan, Kuno also wanted to accompany the team members to hunt ghosts, but he couldn't.

He had tried to lift the knife, and with his body, even the simplest act of swinging the knife was extremely difficult.

Only in this way can you burn yourself.

Every generation of the head of the Sanyashiki family, like him, has tried to train... Expressing their unwillingness to fate, the curse imposed on them is too great.

Everyone in the Ghost Slayer Team is the same as him, everyone doesn't care about their lives and life and death, they care more... It is the inheritance of will.

Because he was too excited for a while, Kuno couldn't hold back, and his throat moved, spurting out a mouthful of blood.

Blood splashed on the wooden board, he didn't care, the hands supporting his body slowly clenched into fists, his always calm and peaceful eyes instantly became sharp, and his tone was excited: "There has been... It turned out to appear, and the wheel of fate finally began to roll. ”

"I waited for that glimmer of light in the darkness."

The white-haired woman behind him approached closely, soothing her husband's emotions.

Kuno's two children hurriedly turned around and skillfully went to get the medicine.

"Ena... Do you know what this means? This person... This swordsman can execute demons in the dark of night with ordinary weapons! His appearance is to open a new door of hope, in addition to the sun, the ghost also has a fatal weakness! Onimai Tsuji is no miserable... There is an indelible rift in his fate..."

Ena Sanyashiki said calmly, "I understand. ”

As the bloodline of the priest clan, Ena had foreseen some images in her dream a few days ago, but they were very vague.

She could only feel a glimmer of opportunity.

There was some kind of force that suddenly appeared, it was an arm, and it gently pushed them into the 'quagmire'.

That's right, it's mired in the mire.

Looking at the achievements of the Ghost Slayer Team over the past few generations, although they have been cleaning up ghosts and fighting against Wu Miao... In fact, it had little effect, and not only did the ghost killing team not find the initiator behind the scenes, but even a large number of members died at the hands of ghosts, including many pillar-level swordsmen.

From this point of view, their war with ghosts has always been at a disadvantage.

If it weren't for the Sanyashiki clan to unite everyone's will, if it weren't for everyone's faith in their hearts, the Demon Slayer would be in danger of being destroyed at any time... Disqualify from fighting ghosts.

Now there is no misery, and maybe the ghost killing team is not taken into account at all.

Every time the news of the death of a member comes, Kuno seems to be calm, but in fact, the pain and torment in his heart, as his wife, Ena knows it.

So, a few days ago, she told Kuno about her hunch.

But Kuno analyzed the situation and never found the opportunity she had a hunch, in which aspect... He originally guessed that it might be that a certain pillar in the Ghost Slayer suddenly 'awakened' and possessed unparalleled combat power, or that some kind of technology was invented in the Forging Knife Village to increase the power of the 'Nichiren Knife'.

But in the end, he vetoed it...

As the leader of the Ghost Slayer Team, Kuno knows everything very well, and he doesn't dare to be sloppy at all... I know the strength of each column, and I also know the heritage of the forging knife village.

He firmly believes in his 'comrades-in-arms', but he doesn't dare to underestimate the miserable...

Realistically speaking, the probability of an opportunity appearing in one's own camp is very small.

He's even done a good job of trying to maintain the current number of Ghost Slayer members in the little time he has left... Inherit this will in a good state and complete it.

In his generation, he had no hope.

We began to focus on nurturing the next generation.

Pass the baton on...

This is his mission, and it is the best he can do for the Ghost Slayer Team.

He hated his incompetence.

However... The balance is broken.

With the advent of a person...

Who is he?

This is Kuno's subconscious thought, over the years, he has been fighting against Onimai Tsuji for a long time... The Ghost Slayer has gathered all the outstanding juniors and collected all the intelligence and information that can deal with ghosts, and it stands to reason that there is no way to miss it.

If this kind of power really exists, it would have been heard by the Sanyashiki clan a long time ago...

Appearing at this time can only mean... It was the dereliction of duty of their homeowners.

After the excitement, Jiu Ye's heart was more self-blame and remorse, if he could have known earlier that this kind of power still existed in the world... Then, there will be far fewer of those who sleep under the tombstones on the mountain.

"Black Haori..."

"Gather all the pillars!"

Kuno grabbed his wife's cuffs and said in a deep voice.

"Okay."

……

A few days later, the pillar-level swordsmen of the ghost killing team who received the news arrived at the mansion one after another.

There are seven in total.

Five of them are the inheritors of the five schools that evolved from the breath of the sun.

Water, thunder, rock, heat, wind.

In other words, among the ghost killing teams of the past dynasties, the leaders who have become pillar-level are dominated by these five major schools.

The remaining two, one is a variant derived from the Breath of Light, the Breath of Light.

One is the Iron Breath derived from the Breath of Rock.

The five basic breathing methods, because the inheritance is relatively complete and more detailed, are suitable for most people, and they are easier to get started than niche breathing... Therefore, the personnel base is the largest.

The reason why it is difficult to pass on such niche and alternative breathing methods as the breath of light or the breath of iron is that it was created by a certain generation of swordsmen according to their own specific circumstances. It doesn't apply to everyone, and the way and foundation of practice is not sound... A lot of the lineage ends up being broken.

In the past generations of ghost slayers, there have been many variants of breathing, some of which are very powerful, and some of which are relatively mediocre... Most of them are short-lived, and there are very few that can be remembered.

The limitations of niche breathing methods are too great, and there is no practical significance for inheritance... Others may not be able to learn if they want to.

For cultivation methods and one's own physique, the requirements are relatively harsh, and it is difficult to find inheritors.

It is equivalent to a specific skill that is tailor-made, so among the many breathing methods, only those five cannot be moved.

To put it bluntly, the time to create the genre is too short, and there is no detailed research and development.

The swordsmen were all focused on the ghosts, and they had very little energy to take care of anything else, so naturally they couldn't compare with the breathing methods of the five basic schools that had been precipitated over time.

Seven pillars gathered together, all young in appearance and appearance, the oldest of whom was only in his early thirties.

From this, it is not difficult to see that the frequency of replacement of column-level swordsmen... and the level of casualties in the fight with ghosts.

In a certain era, the tragic situation even made the ghost killing team change several groups of people in just one year... There are some of them, who have been on top since they were in their early teens, and they are all very young.

Of course, to be a pillar, strength and talent are indispensable.

Before coming, the seven pillars had already received the news and had a general understanding of the situation.

Liu Yuan, who was the messenger, also rushed to the mansion.

In front of everyone, debrief... tells the story of how he was saved by a mysterious man that night.

"Is it possible that his knife was smeared with some kind of drug, and it had an effect?" In the field, the man who is currently the water column expressed his opinion after listening.

After all, destroying the life of a ghost with an ordinary weapon is such a thing... It's incredible.

He prefers to be 'reasonable' to infer it.

"You mean wisteria?"

Lei Zhu, who was sitting cross-legged, pinched his chin and looked at his friend.

"Hey, are you sure it's an ordinary katana, can you see it? Maybe it's the Rilun Knife, but it looks more ordinary, and it must have been fused with jade steel..."The other person looked at Liu Yuan and asked.

"Liu Yuan can't be mistaken."

Feng Zhu helped his junior brother to speak, "Besides, every Japanese wheel knife comes out of the Forging Knife Village... There are a few, and it is impossible to leave them in the hands of outsiders. It is impossible for others to master the methods and skills of forging the Nichiren sword..."

"Where are the others?"

"I inquired, and a big man like him was very conspicuous, and before I set out to arrive, he should have settled in the town at the foot of Untori Mountain."

"Untori Mountain, where is it? I seem to have heard of it..."

A man with hair as colored as a flame asked with great interest.

"Idiot."

The woman kneeling beside him rolled her eyes.

"Ahh I remember! ”

Purgatory Blazing Shourou clapped his hands and lit up a mouthful of big white teeth.

"Anyway, this man... We're all going to see each other. ”

At this time, the maternity house, who had been smiling and silent, looked at the group of talking pillars in front of him and said softly.
