“However, what you have said will only be known to my descendants and will be passed down from generation to generation.”
So, you're welcome to come back anytime.
Faced with that promise and agreement, Yoriichi nodded slightly, and then his figure disappeared into the night.
"Father."
"Make sure you remember his face. He's a Pillar that we Demon Slayer Corps can trust at any time."
"Yes!"
The children behind him, though very young, nodded knowingly, each gazing at Yoriichi's departing figure as if trying to etch him into their memories.
Witnessing the disappearing figure, the lord offered a heartfelt prayer.
He believed that Yoriichi Tsugikuni would not change over time.
Having learned about Yoriichi's experiences and current physical condition, even Yoriichi, as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, was quite surprised.
(Having been corrupted by the blood of immortality, I will continue to live in this world until my body collapses.)
That was such an astonishing statement that it made one wonder if they had seen a ghost.
But seeing Yoriichi standing safely in the sun, the lord, who had experienced much, also chose to believe him.
Yoriichi Tsugikuni is undoubtedly the strongest Pillar in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps.
That was the man even the Demon King Muzan feared and avoided.
Yoriichi had encountered him, but he still managed to escape. This incident caused some dissatisfaction among the team members, but the lord saw another positive sign.
According to previous investigations, the number of ghost sightings at night has decreased significantly recently.
Although it sounds unbelievable, it is very likely that Muzan was "cooped up" because he was terrified of Yoriichi.
Fearing being found, they deliberately eliminated all traces and hid.
This is truly a worrying development.
He easily understood what Muzan was thinking.
They simply want to stall until the threat disappears before re-emerging.
After all, human lifespan is limited, not to mention that the Marked Swordsman wouldn't live past 25.
In just a few years or decades, Muzan was patient enough to wait.
Once Yoriichi dies of old age, wouldn't this world become Muzan's "entertainment venue" where he can live a carefree life?
Unable to find his hidden stronghold, no one could do anything about him.
The prerequisite for killing him is to first find him.
Moreover, currently, only Yoriichi is capable of killing Muzan in this world.
Once the clues are clear, the lord will naturally be able to distinguish the importance of each clue.
Continuing to keep Yoriichi in the Demon Slayer Corps is not the best option.
In particular, his elder brother, Katsutoshi Tsugikuni, committed the act of "regicide," which will also subject him to criticism.
It might be better to go out and avoid the limelight.
He took the children back to their residence and prepared for the relocation. The lord also planned to tell his descendants a detailed account of his life.
The circumstances surrounding Yoriichi Tsugikuni cannot be recorded in books or scrolls.
If someone with malicious intentions like Jiguo Yansheng were to see that, it would cause a huge uproar.
To prevent such a thing from happening, he needed his children to remember it themselves.
Passed down from generation to generation, people will come to know this "sun" that is active in the night.
Until Muzan Kibutsuji is destroyed.
The Demon Slayer Corps members only learned on the second day that Yoriichi Tsugikuni had left the team.
Some people were puzzled, some were astonished, and some felt it was only natural.
But no matter how they talk about it, the strongest pillar will gradually fade away with the passage of time.
.........
"Clap."
Watching the rising sun, Yoriichi found a dilapidated cabin in the wilderness and sat down to rest under its eaves.
How long has it been since I left the Demon Slayer Corps?
Thinking about it so rarely, Yoriichi thought about the year he had seen before, and it seemed that a hundred years had passed.
Despite the passage of so much time, he still maintains the youthful appearance and condition he once was.
Her clothes remained unchanged.
This is a very long journey.
But he felt no regret or resentment whatsoever.
He used to visit his wife and children every week, and looking back, those were rare and peaceful times.
He later spent a lot of time by his wife's side until her death.
As for future generations and children, there's no need to worry.
They have their own safe lives and will not embark on this dangerous path of becoming demon slayers.
This is also the state after all of Yuan Yi's worries have disappeared.
He is now merely a "sun" walking the earth for one purpose.
That was Muzan Kibutsuji, who had been hiding all along.
Every night is when Yoriichi is most active; he travels step by step to every corner of the country.
He had slain countless demons, but he still hadn't seen the Demon King again.
Sensing that the other person was intentionally avoiding him, Yoriichi simply scoffed at his behavior.
Did they think they could escape by outliving him?
If that's your plan, you'll be greatly disappointed.
After experiencing the war, Yoriichi's body was corroded by the Hollow's immortal blood, causing severe "aftereffects".
Ordinary people cannot withstand such blood; they will be in a state of "immortality" for a period of time, but their bodies will eventually disintegrate and they will perish in the world.
But the reason is different.
He was born with a physique that ordinary people could not match.
He could ignore even the marks that prevented someone from living past 25.
His body is different from that of ordinary people.
Despite being invaded by the blood of immortality, he was not tormented or destroyed; instead, his restless blood gradually stabilized.
This results in Yoriichi's body, due to the influence of the immortal blood, neither aging nor dying from injury.
It became an ultimate creature even more terrifying than a "ghost".
This situation was something that Xu had anticipated.
He wanted to force the other person into this situation, to see what would happen to this equally favored man if he were put into an immortal state.
Will he stay true to himself and live on in this world, or will he go mad and become a monster like him?
After all, the existence of a person who never ages or dies would have a tremendous impact.
At least Yoriichi would sometimes deliberately change his clothes and hairstyle when he appeared in public.
Although he could often sense that someone was tracking him, Yoriichi was able to easily shake them off with his skills.
So much time has passed, yet he hasn't changed.
"Ok?"
The small figure in the shadows caught Yoriichi's attention. Knowing what it was, he slowly stood up.
"call out!"
The figure vanished under the eaves as if it had never existed.
.........
"hateful!!"
"What the hell is wrong with that guy?!"
"Why do they still look so repulsive after a hundred years?!"
Hiding in the dark house, Muzan, his veins bulging, slammed his fist on the table and cursed angrily.
He was truly shocked, angry, and afraid.
Ever since meeting Yoriichi Tsugikuni, I've become a bit neurotic.
He truly dared not appear before the other party again.
