Demon Slayer: The beginning of an immortal sword

The next day, at noon, the sun was high in the sky, and the sunlight poured into the room, making people feel warm.

Ju Qingyan finally woke up.

He stretched and sat up from the bed.

At this time, a crow sent by Ubuyashiki Yoya flew into the room and conveyed the meeting invitation.

It must be said that Ubuyashiki Yoya, as the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, is indeed extraordinary.

Not only is he from a wealthy family, but more importantly, he is very caring towards his subordinates.

After all, the Demon Slayer Corps can only better cope with the battle with evil spirits if they maintain a good state.

Tachibana Qingyan had not slept for two consecutive days and one night, and had also experienced high-intensity battles. If he did not rest and recover his physical strength in time, he would not be able to bear such consumption even if he had a good physical fitness.

For this reason, Ubuyashiki Yoya deliberately postponed the meeting time to the afternoon.

After a few bites of food, Tachibana Qingyan put on a white feather and hurried to Ubuyashiki's residence to attend the meeting.

At this time, the crow that had accompanied him now stood proudly on his shoulder.

With the improvement of the status of his master, the shadow also looked very proud, as if he had become noble.

As the saying goes, "One person's success brings success to all chickens and dogs", it is nothing more than this.

The so-called pillar meeting is that Ubuyashiki Yoya convened the pillars of the Demon Slayer Corps to discuss some major matters.

To a certain extent, this is similar to Muzan Kibutsuji convening the meeting of the Twelve Demon Moons.

The biggest difference is that Ubuyashiki Yoya is more democratic, unlike the boss who is arbitrary and dictatorial and only gives orders without thinking.

However, the meeting scene at this moment seemed unusually deserted.

In addition to the members of the Ubuyashiki family, there were only three pillar-level swordsmen present: Rock Pillar Gyoumei, Flame Pillar Rengoku Makijuro, and the newly joined Tribulation Pillar Tachibana Qingyan.

As for the five pillars that symbolize the basic breathing method, three positions are absent. The heirs of Water Breathing, Thunder Breathing, and Wind Breathing do not yet have the strength to serve as a pillar.

And Tachibana Qingyan knows that in a while, even the Flame Pillar may be in a mess.

The current Demon Slayer Corps is facing the dilemma of a lack of successors and a decline in talent, and is in a very embarrassing period.

One of the important reasons why Ubuyashiki Yoya values ​​Tachibana Qingyan so much is that he has shown extraordinary strength and courage at a young age.

Such a young man is really rare, which leader would not like him?

If Tachibana Qingyan chose to become a demon, with his strength and courage, I am afraid that even Muzan Kibutsuji in the Infinite Castle would not dare to speak loudly to him easily.

......

Under the deliberate arrangement of Ubuyashiki Yoya, the process of adding new pillars to the Demon Slayer Corps went very quickly and came to an end in a short while.

"I've finished speaking. Who is in favor and who is against?"

He was quite excited and his tone became heroic for a while.

However, at this moment, a voice rang out.

"I object!"

The person who spoke was Rengoku Makijuro.

He wore the unique clothing of the Flame Pillar, with flame patterns embroidered on his clothes.

The people of their Purgatory family were almost all carved out of the same mold.

They all had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and their hair was bright orange-red, as if they were a burning fire.

Hearing this, Ubuyashiki Yoya looked at Rengoku Makijuro and sighed in his heart.

He couldn't help but smile and hold his forehead.

As expected, the Flame Pillar would stand up and oppose.

He knew that Rengoku Makijuro was straightforward and said whatever he wanted, so he expressed his opinions so directly.

In fact, as the beloved lord in the minds of the members of the Demon Slayer Corps, he could suppress this objection.

However, he wanted to see how Tachibana Qingyan would respond.

It was a different kind of test.

Rengoku Makijuro pointed at Tachibana Qingyan and said with an unhappy face: "This kid is not very strong, but he dares to ask for a high price and clearly marked the price of the Twelve Demon Months."

As the Flame Pillar, Rengoku Makijuro has always been known for his generosity, enthusiasm and strength.

He is tall and his eyes are firm and sharp.

At this moment, his eyes are like burning flames, staring at Tachibana Qingyan a little embarrassed.

"Boy, I heard that you have a way to control ghosts?"

"But swordsmen can't just rely on external forces. For example, it's daytime now, what's the use of being able to control ghosts?"

It's no secret among the pillars that Tachibana Qingyan has the means to control ghosts.

However, Rengoku Makijuro knew the fact but not the reason. Without knowing the other party's strength, it is no wonder that he said these words.

About the way back

Tachibana Qingyan did not mention the encounter with Kokushibo to Ubuyashiki Yoya.

In his opinion, he just survived the opponent's hands, which was not a direct victory and nothing to brag about.

This led to their misjudgment of Tachibana Qingyan's strength, thinking that he was only at the level of the Lower Four.

"What? From what you said, do you want to fight with me?"

Tachibana Qingyan's words were a bit out of place, but fortunately the other party could understand what he was saying.

He knew in his heart that for these tsundere monsters in the Demon Slayer Corps, the best way to make them shut up was to speak with strength.

To put it bluntly, it was a sharp tongue but a soft heart.

Although he was worried that his teammates would die in vain due to their lack of strength, he still said those annoying words.

"Oh? How do you plan to compete?"

Rengoku Makijuro crossed his arms, with an interested smile on his lips, staring at Tachibana Qingyan with a sharp gaze.

"The Demon Slayer Corps stipulates that members cannot use swords against each other, so why not have an arm wrestling match?"

A sly look flashed through Ju Qingyan's eyes, but he frowned on the surface, pretending to be embarrassed.

He knew very well that he had a diamond physique.

With eight times the strength, plus the blood-breathing amplification, it was hard to imagine how he could lose.

"Okay! Then let me see how strong you are!"

Hearing this, Rengoku Makijuro, who had been fooled, had a flash of excitement in his eyes.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing his thick arms, and was secretly proud in his heart: "This kid looks thin and weak, but he dares to compete with me in strength. I must teach him a lesson later!"

Ju Qingyan saw this and smiled slightly, secretly happy in his heart: "He's taken the bait!"

He also rolled up his sleeves, pretending to be fearless, but in his heart he was thinking about how to maximize his profits.

"Let's add some jackpot, how about the price of a lower string?"

Seeing that the other party agreed readily, Tachibana Qingjuro was ready to start the trap.

Rengoku Makijuro hesitated for a moment, touched the wallet in his pocket, and said with some embarrassment: "Who goes out with so much money? If you are interested, I can use the solitary breath of fire as a bet."

Tachibana Qingjuro was delighted when he heard this, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and thought for a while.

He thought that the breath of fire could not be measured by price, but maybe it could be sold to Rengoku Kyojuro at a high price in the future.

So he nodded and agreed.

Rengoku Makijuro felt a little strange when he saw Tachibana Qingjuro agreed so readily.

But things have come to this point, so he can only bite the bullet.

"You have the courage to bet 20 million on the breath of fire, which is not a loss anyway."

Tachibana Qingjuro said with a smile, as if he had seen the scene of victory.

"Do you think you're sure to win?"

Rengoku Makijuro said unconvinced.

He knew that he was not weak in strength and would not lose to the young man in front of him.

Then, before the battle, both sides began to talk trash, trying to undermine each other's morale.

When they had almost finished talking, the two came to the edge of the pond and set the competition venue next to a heavy stone table with a top and bottom.

They sat down, put their elbows on the stone table, clasped their hands tightly together, and prepared to start this fierce competition.

During the whole process, Ubuyashiki Yoya and Beimingyu Xingmei did not say a word, they were all in the mentality of watching the excitement.

Looking at their excited expressions, Tachibana Qingyan really wanted to say something.

The world is really going downhill, and people's hearts are not as good as they used to be!
