The seeds of the Kamado clan have been planted.

There is other soil waiting to be dug.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they would run into some familiar-looking hunters and greet them.

The town was not big and news spread quickly. Everyone knew that an important person had come from outside and seemed to be acquainted with the Kamado family.

He’s very young… approachable and not arrogant.

It’s just that my health isn’t very good.

After walking on the street for a while, Long arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

This is an old house, not covering a large area, which has just been taken care of by maids, and some maids and servants have been hired.

At this time, in front of the house, there were several people waiting eagerly.

Long’s personal maid also stood aside and did not welcome the few people in…it seemed that she was planning to wait for him to come back.

And the other party had no intention of leaving.

Oboro recognized the people from the Ubuyashiki clan at a glance. Although their hairstyle and facial features had changed slightly, as the leaders of the Demon Slayer Corps, their unique temperament and eyes remained unchanged.

Not to mention, the white-haired woman next to him… so iconic.

The moment Oboro looked at Ubuyashiki Kuno, the latter sensed something and looked back.

The large black haori… looks younger than me.

In his hand, he held a cane…not a samurai sword.

Sickly looking…

Was it him who…killed the ghost with one knife?

The moment Ubuyashiki Kuno saw Long, his silent eyes burst into light, but soon dimmed… What Liu Yuan saw that night was limited. He only witnessed the mysterious man’s style when he swung the knife, nothing else.

It was hard for Kuno to imagine that the person he was looking forward to meeting… would be such a person.

I feel that my physical condition is not much worse than mine.

Even though he thought so, Kuno still cheered up.

He was just afraid…the so-called opportunity was not as good as he expected.

“grown ups.”

When the maid saw Long, she hurried forward and explained the purpose of Ubuyashiki and the other man’s visit.

“come in…”

Long left a word and stepped into the courtyard first.

After a while, the two of them were brought to the main room.

Oboro took off his haori and looked at Ubuyashiki Kuno who was kneeling on the mat. He smiled and said, “You must be disappointed to see me.”

“No, a person’s strength is not just reflected in appearance… The feeling you give me is very special.”

“hehe.”

Chapter 278 Seed

Since Kuno came to see me, he must have already got some information about me.

Although he was the head of the Ubuyashiki clan, in terms of his real identity and his background in the shogunate, the other party still had to address him as “Sir”.

Be respectful.

“The fact that you are not surprised to see me means that you know me and the Demon Slayer Corps, including the demons… very well.” Kuno said with a smile.

“You want to know how I can kill a demon with just an ordinary samurai sword…”

“Please let me know.”

Kuno and his wife kowtowed together.

“The knife is very ordinary. It can kill ghosts because of some innate power I have… and it has nothing to do with breathing techniques. So I’m sorry, this power cannot be passed on and cannot be taught to others.” Long said lightly.

“I see.”

Kuno looked up at Oboro with a calm gaze, “I don’t know the breathing method, and I don’t know your extraordinary physique, but the fact that you can kill demons is enough to prove your strength. So… I came here this time because I sincerely hope that you can condescend to join our Demon Slayer Corps.”

“You want me to join the Demon Slayer Corps?”

It looks like a smile but not a smile.

Very smart… The people of the Ubuyashiki clan were able to keep the Demon Slayer Corps going until now under Muzan’s hands, so they do have some skills.

Although the successive heads of the Ubuyashiki family may not have the courage and brains of the later Ubuyashiki Yoya, they were not much worse.

The other party heard the hidden meaning in his words and also sensed that he was hiding some truths about killing ghosts, but did not point it out.

Instead, he used another way to interact with the Demon Slayer Corps… He was not impatient and was very patient.

In fact, after traveling through time, Oboro began to collect some information from the shogunate.

At least in the Edo period, Muzan and his subordinates committed crimes frequently without any sign of being cautious.

This shows that the Demon Slayer Corps is at a disadvantage in the confrontation…

The arrogance of the demons cannot be suppressed at all, or it can be said that since the death of Tsugaru Kuniyoshi, the Demon Slayer Corps has been suppressed by Muzan.

The nine pillars of later generations are indeed qualified to be called the strongest generation of the Demon Slayer Corps.

The current Demon Slayer Corps… is too weak.

“I have no interest in demons… There is no hatred or bond between me and demons. Killing demons is something that has always been the responsibility of your Demon Slayer Corps… I will not get involved. And as you can see, I don’t have much time left, so I am afraid I will disappoint you.”

Hazy continued.

“Please lend us a hand… Our Ubuyashiki clan is not important, but the children of the Demon Slayer Corps are very young. In order to hunt demons, they are in danger of death all the time. If we allow Muzan Kibutsuji to continue to wreak havoc like this, more people will die.”

Kuno lowered his head again, “As long as you agree to help the Demon Slayer Corps, I, Ubuyashiki Kuno, am willing to do everything I can to meet your various conditions.”

Why did Longshagui let Liu Yuan see it?

Is it really a coincidence?

The moment he saw Oboro, Ubuyashiki Kuno had the answer: it was not.

It was not him who came to see Long, but Long who asked him to come.

When he said the name of Muzan Kibutsuji, Oboro’s reaction was also calm.

This gentleman is definitely not simple.

“Any conditions? Including replacing you?” Long’s words made the room especially quiet.

“Your Excellency has misunderstood. Our Ubuyashiki clan is not above the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps, nor are we leaders. It is only because everyone recognizes our Ubuyashiki clan that they allow us to help the Demon Slayer Corps in this way and method… Strictly speaking, our Ubuyashiki clan is no different from anyone in the Demon Slayer Corps, and there is no distinction between high and low. However, if your Excellency wants to join the Demon Slayer Corps as a ‘commander’… I’m afraid it depends on whether you can convince everyone.”

Kuno replied.

He was telling the truth. The Demon Slayer Corps has been able to continue to this day because of a sense of cohesion and a common vision.

In other words, no one…including Oboro, can replace the status of the Ubuyashiki clan.

Only their clan could do this, to unite all the members of the Demon Slayer Corps into one, relying on their hatred for Muzan.

This is also the shining point of the Ubuyashiki clan.

Only those with strong determination can get on stage.

Kuno was not surprised that Oboro could ask such a question. The other party was a retainer of the shogunate and a high-ranking official of the Bugyosho… He would naturally use his power to determine who was superior.

But in fact, Long was just testing him.

Outside the door, a maid came in with a few books and placed them between the people.

“Take it back…”

Hazy said.

“Ok?”

Kuno’s eyes flickered.

“This is my understanding of the breathing method. If you make it public within the Demon Slayer Corps, it will be the small thing I can do for you.” Oboro smiled.

The book records several simple breathing techniques that Oboro knows, as well as some variations that he has studied after feeling the Breath of the Sun. They are far less profound than what he taught to Kamado Tanpei, but they can still benefit the Pillar-level swordsmen a lot.

When Kuno heard this, he knew that it was impossible to invite Oboro to join the Demon Slayer Corps.

I couldn’t help feeling lost.

“Chiyoko, see you off.”

After chatting for a while, Long called out.

“Yes.”

The maid nodded and gestured to the couple, “You two, please come in.”

The two men slowly stood up, bowed deeply to Long again, and then walked out together.

After a while, standing on the street, looking at the Habo’s house, Ubuyashiki sighed: “What a pity…”

This gentleman was still very young, but he was in poor health and near the end of his life, so he chose to reject him.

If he wasn’t ill, maybe… he could succeed.

At the end of his life, Kuno didn’t want to disturb the other person’s “peace”.

This is out of respect for life.

……

The seeds of power take time to hatch little by little, and the collision of evenly matched enemies is the best soil for cultivation. If the Demon Slayer Corps is directly given unparalleled breathing techniques, it will inevitably cause heavy losses to the Mukai camp, and even Muzan itself. There is danger… In this way, the ghost disappears early and the fate ends early.

Naturally, power will lose its meaning of existence and will wither away.

Therefore, Oboro intentionally let the Ubuyashiki clan show up in order to give them a push, so that they can reverse their long-term losing situation and begin to gain the upper hand…

However, if one wants to make this world’s power system stronger and get rid of the label of “lower world”, the person who should be assisted the most is Muzan.
