Hearing the provocative words, Minato and his group frowned slightly, but they did not rush to refute, but chose to remain calm.

At the same time, Kyojuro's face suddenly sank.

He turned his head quickly, his eyes shot sharply at the source of the sound.

As expected, it was the Wind Pillar Fushigawa Saneya.

Fushigawa Saneya, like Kyojuro, is a pillar-level member of the Demon Slayer Corps. He is powerful but has a hot temper.

He only maintains some courtesy to those he approves of in his heart.

But to others, he is often outspoken and even a little rude.

However, the situation this time is different from usual.

The evil spirits have evolved to the point where they are not afraid of the sun, and the fact that Akaza can still regenerate after being beheaded by the Sun Blade, all of these ruthlessly prove a fact:

With the power of their Demon Slayer Corps alone, it may not be possible to completely eradicate Muzan.

But the arrival of Minato and others has brought them new hope.

These people who call themselves ninjas may be the key to breaking the deadlock and defeating Muzan.

Therefore, at this moment, the importance of Minato and others is self-evident.

Just then, a somewhat weak voice interrupted them.

"Enough, Saneya. Now is not the time for internal strife."

As the voice fell, a young man in a kimono slowly walked out with the help of others.

This man was the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoya, a figure respected by all the pillars.

However, when Minato looked carefully, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Ubuyashiki Yoya's physical condition was extremely poor, and it could be said that he was terminally ill and would not live long.

His face was almost disfigured from the mouth up, with scars intertwined and twisted, as if he had experienced a terrible disaster.

And the pair of eyes that should have been bright were now turbid and lusterless, like two pools of stagnant water.

However, despite the poor physical condition of Ubuyashiki Yoya, he seemed to have a magical power.

As he walked out slowly, the people around him saluted him spontaneously, with respect and reverence from the bottom of their hearts on their faces.

Kyojuro and Saneya were no exception. They were just on edge, but now they restrained their breath and saluted respectfully to Ubuyashiki Yoya.

Their eyes were full of conviction. In front of this weak man, they seemed to have found faith.

Minato now understood why Ubuyashiki Yoya could become the lord of the Demon Slayer Corps.

He did not become the lord because of his extraordinary strength, but because of his personal charm.

And the next moment, Minato personally experienced the extraordinary charm exuded by Ubuyashiki Yoya.

When he slowly walked in front of them, he actually took the initiative to bow to them and said in an apologetic tone:

"I'm really sorry, it's my child who was rude."

And his words revealed deep sincerity and guilt, even the straightforward Kushina felt this sincerity.

Seeing his master apologizing for him, Shimizu, who was standing by, seemed to be unable to hold back.

However, Yoya seemed to have anticipated his reaction and spoke first:

"Shimizu, I personally invited these guests. Please be polite."

After hearing his master's words, Shimizu was a little unwilling, but he finally lowered his head and said in a deep voice: "Yes, my lord."

This interaction made Minato and others feel a little overwhelmed. They had just graduated from the Ninja School and were inevitably a little overwhelmed in the face of such an occasion.

At this moment, a petite girl wearing a butterfly-style kimono came out.

She said with a smile: "My lord, your condition is already very serious. Can you listen to me and rest in your room?"

Yoya smiled lightly and said: "Shinobu, don't worry so much. I won't leave you for the time being."

Hearing this, Shinobu Kocho's body trembled.

Since her sister died at the hands of Douma, there are not many people she cares about.

And this lord who is like a father to her is one of the few important people in her heart.

She certainly doesn't want to see her lord leave like this, but the curse of the Ubuyashiki clan makes her helpless.

Especially recently, Yoya's condition has become increasingly serious.

Therefore, Shinobu Kocho couldn't help but interfere with her lord's living habits, hoping that he can take care of his body.

So when her secrets were exposed, her face that always kept a smile also lost its smile, replaced by deep sadness.

This sad mood seemed to have a strong infectious power, and quickly spread in everyone's heart.

Even the always sunny and cheerful, alwaysThe smiling Flame Pillar also put away his smile at this moment, and his expression became extremely solemn.

At this moment, a giant with a burly figure and a monk-like appearance walked out of the crowd.

With tears streaming down his face, he said with a choked voice: "Amitabha... There is no need to be so sad.

Haven't we all been prepared to sacrifice at any time? I believe that the Lord's heart is also so firm and calm."

These words made everyone present fall into deep thought.

Every time they went out to kill evil spirits, didn't they also hold the determination to die?

And the Lord, who had always treated them as his own children, must have felt the same sadness and helplessness in his heart at that time.

Thinking of this, the atmosphere on the field seemed to ease a little.

Gyoumei continued, "My lord, the rest of the pillars are here. Please go and take charge of the situation."

Ubuyashiki Yoya nodded slightly, then turned and gave Minato and his party an apologetic smile:

"I'm so sorry to have kept you waiting. Please follow me."

Minato and the others naturally had no objection, so they followed Yoya to a spacious conference room.

At this moment, several pillar-level members were already standing in the conference room:

Snake Pillar Iguro Obanai was playing with a snake, but his eyes kept glancing at the somewhat shy Love Pillar Kanroji Mitsuri.

But she didn't know that Kanroji Mitsuri was already sweating profusely under his gaze.

The expressionless Water Pillar Tomioka Giyuu stood alone outside the crowd.

The young Mist Pillar Tokito Muichiro seemed to be trapped in his own world, wandering in the sky.

And the Sound Pillar Uzui Tengen was posing in a gorgeous battle suit, which was particularly eye-catching.

With the arrival of Ubuyashiki Yoya, the nine pillar members returned to their seats and saluted him respectfully.

Although Yoya's eyes could not see this scene, he knew that the nine pillars must be caught up in complicated etiquette at this moment.

However, the situation was urgent and Yoya could not dwell too much on such trivial matters.

He sighed lightly and said with some helplessness:

"Everyone, this is not the time to stick to etiquette. I summoned you again because something extremely important has happened."
