Demon Slayer: I advise Wuzan to abandon evil and become a good person

Chapter 21: The Decline of the Successor Family

"Oh my god, Xingzhi, you are the most talented person I have ever met."

In the open ground, a blond child was practicing knife skills with great concentration.

The sun was high in the sky and the temperature was moderate. The people practicing swordplay in the open field were sweating from their intense movements, and their sweat was reflecting the sun.

The breeze blew by, but it failed to dispel the heat, it only added a bit of liveliness.

August Saku looked at the child who was practicing swordsmanship excitedly. Although he was only in his teens, he showed great talent after joining the Demon Slayer Corps.

He had spent several months strengthening his physique to five times that of an ordinary person, and now he had begun learning breathing techniques and practicing swordsmanship.

My wife Xingzhi took a deep breath and leaned her upper body forward slightly.

Lightning Breathing - Type 1 - Thunderbolt Flash

"Senior Lei Zhu, I am still far behind you all. I need to work harder!"

Agatsuma Anzhi, who had just finished practicing, heard August Shuo's praise and said modestly.

He had been an orphan since childhood and had been wandering around. When he saw the knife that split the wall, he was deeply attracted and he also wanted to become as strong.

August Shuo patted my wife Xingzhi's shoulder and said with concern: "You are still young, don't have to bear too much burden."

"But I'm curious, why do you have lightning in your hair when you attack? I have a feeling that the Breath of Thunder was tailor-made for you."

Agatsuma Anzhi scratched his head and thought for a moment, "Maybe it has something to do with my hair turning yellow! My hair was originally black, but it turned yellow after being struck by lightning."

"From then on, whenever I got emotional, lightning would come out of my hair."

"What?!" You are so lucky to be struck by lightning!

Bayueshuo was shocked by this. To be able to survive being struck by lightning was truly a stroke of luck.

"It's okay, I'm used to it. When I was a kid, there were thunderstorms every now and then, but I fell asleep and didn't avoid it."

silence--

Suddenly, Bayueshuo hugged my wife Xingzhi fiercely and said, "It's okay, it's okay now."

He didn't know what to say to this child who had suffered so much, and could only express his concern for him in this way.

Agatsuma Anzhi was hugged and felt warm in his heart. Since joining the Demon Slayer Corps, he can feel feelings that he has never had before every day.

In the distance, a young man wearing sunflower earrings and a high ponytail was walking towards the two of them, and they could vaguely see someone following him.

……

a few months ago

Tamayo, who successfully escaped from Yoriichirō, also reported the matter to Teruoki Aoki.

"Boss, this is what's going on."

At the [Suying] headquarters, Tamayo stood nervously in front of Aoki Teruo.

Teruo Aoki has a lot more things to think about.

He knew that the Demon Slayer Corps' swords could kill demons, but the phenomenon of water wrapping around the sword that Tamayo described was the first time he had heard of it.

Did they come up with this recently?

"I understand. Don't go to that town. Stay at the headquarters recently. And tell those ghosts to behave themselves. I have a bad feeling about this."

"I'll go to the Demon Slayer Corps and check out the situation when I have time later."

"Yes."

Tamayo nodded, then stepped back at Aoki Teruo's signal.

After thinking for a long time, Teruo Aoki suddenly realized that he had not seen Muzan for more than ten years. If Muzan had not successfully passed his moral test, he would not have let him go.

I haven't left the headquarters for a long time, so it's time to go out and relax. I can also take this opportunity to visit the Demon Slayer Corps to check out the situation.

He had also heard about the Ubuyashiki family. Ever since the demon king Muzan was born in their family, their family has been cursed.

As for that curse, he really wanted to see it for himself. He wondered if it was the same curse as in his previous life.

So, Teruo Aoki decided to go and see Muzan, and then go find the Demon Slayer Corps.

Based on the blood left by Muzan, Teruo Aoki quickly located his position.

It took him several days to reach the vicinity of Muzan, which was a fairly prosperous city.

When you step into the town, you will see people coming and going and the streets are prosperous, but the faces of the people around you are filled with fatigue and tension.

They yearn for life, but the beauty has been destroyed by war.

The streets seem prosperous, but homeless orphans can be seen everywhere, and there are many unclaimed bodies in the corners. There is sadness in the hustle and bustle of the people.

In this war-torn age, it is difficult for them to find happiness when they are at the center of the war.

Because this is the fief of the nobles who participated in the war - the heir apparent.

The Jigsaw family is a samurai family that has aimed to train the strongest samurai for generations. Several hundred years ago, they won the favor of the emperor of the time and became nobles with fiefs, and the family has continued to this day.

When Teruo Aoki first arrived here, he was shocked by the scene before him. He asked around for a long time before he got the information about this place.

Sure enough, they are always the ones who kill others.

Although he loves life, he is not a good person. He cannot save everyone here, so he respects their fate.

With the protection of the nobility, occupying a prosperous area, and enjoying the best resources, one should have the awareness of taking responsibility.

It was noisy all around and I could vaguely hear the shouts of customers and waiters.

"Why do you want to come here?" Of course, this sentence was said by Teruo Aoki.

Teruo Aoki sat by the window in the restaurant, observing the passers-by outside, and sitting opposite him was of course Lord Muzan, whom he had not seen for a long time.

He stayed here for a few days before going to find Muzan, and then stayed here with Muzan for a few months. Now he is preparing to leave here tonight.

"There's a lot of food here. Didn't you say we can't just kill people casually? What I eat are all dead people."

Of course, he is still the Ghost King after all. Although he exists in name only, he cannot eat so casually. He only eats people who have died recently, and there is a large area of ​​such people here.

"Well, as long as you don't kill people casually, I won't restrict you too much. After all... we grew up together." Aoki Teruo nodded and said hesitantly.

"Would you like to drink? Eat something." Knowing that Muzan couldn't eat ordinary people's food, he picked up the wine and meat on the table to tease him.

"You...don't do this."

After being broken down so many times, he has adapted to it well. I can't beat him, so as long as I ignore him and stay calm, Teruo Aoki can't do anything to me.

Muzan suspected that this guy still remembered the grudge he had against him at Ubuyashiki's house. He was too vindictive. He still hadn't forgotten it even after hundreds of years.

Of course this is just a suspicion, he has no evidence.

"Get away from me, you bastards, bah~"

"Get out of my way!"

"Why did you come into my house? It's my stuff!"

"It's not here, let's go!"

"Next one, hurry up!"

Suddenly, there was a commotion outside the window. It was a group of warriors! They pushed the crowd and broke into people's homes, as if they were looking for something.

Inside the Jiguo family mansion, a warrior who looked like the leader was kneeling in the hall, saying something tremblingly.

"Hasn't the head of the family been found yet?"

The young woman stood at the head, looking coldly at the warriors below.

"Ma'am, not yet."

"What a bunch of rubbish!" the woman said angrily. "Forget it. No need to look for them anymore. Just call back all the people you sent out."

After the warriors left, the woman angrily smashed many things in the room.

Damn it! Jiguo Yansheng, why did you abandon us? Even if we have no feelings for each other for so many years, for the sake of the children, how could you leave without saying goodbye!

Thinking of the side branches of the country and the elders of the clan, she began to feel a chill down her spine.

She knew that if she stayed here, she would not have a good ending, as she held the only pure bloodline of the country, and her children would become tools for the villains to gain power.

For the sake of her children and herself, she began to pack her things, disguised herself, hired a few warriors, and prepared to leave the successor country.

She wants to move away from here, preferably to a small town to live in, so that her children can grow up safely.

Thinking of her five-year-old child, she smiled determinedly.

"What's going on?" Teruo Aoki watched the samurai walking around outside, breaking into other people's homes or shops, and leaving again after a while.

"I don't know." Wuzan shook his head.

Hearing the discussion at the next table, he couldn't help but listen carefully.

"So what's going on? They were searching a while ago, and now they've come here."

"I don't know either, I just know who you are looking for?"

"You don't even know this. I live across the street. Let me tell you..."

"..."

Four people at the table were chatting animatedly, and Teruo Aoki was listening with great interest from a distance.

So they were looking for the successor ruler? They said the successor ruler left with someone who looked exactly like him, and never came back.

Identical people? Twins!

But the successor ruler, I remember his name was Jiguo Yansheng, and he was irresponsible towards his wife and children.

Later, Teruo Aoki decided to stay for a few more days, and when he was about to leave, he asked Muzan if he wanted to leave with him.

"It's nice here, I won't leave."

Helplessly, Teruo Aoki could only leave by himself.

Not long after Aoki Teruo left, another major event broke out in Jiguo Mansion - Madam Jiguo and Master Jiguo were missing!

Later, with the departure of these two people, disputes and internal strife continued among the family of the successor state. The huge family, which had lost its backbone, was soon razed to the ground by the firepower of other nobles.

Of course, Teruo Aoki, who had already passed away, didn't know about these events.
