The time we spent on the way back was the same as the time we came, and it passed by unknowingly.

After getting off the train, Li Xuan followed the person who met him and soon returned to the headquarters of the Demon Slayer Corps.

After entering the gate, Li Xuan first visited the lord.

"Are you back so soon?" Ubuyashiki asked in surprise. He still looked weak and was able to stand up with the help of his wife next to him.

It was only one and a half days since Li Xuan left.

Ubuyashiki didn't expect the other party to complete the task so quickly.

"Yeah."

Li Xuan nodded and talked about the process of the task.

"Is this one of the upper ranks?" After listening to Li Xuan's description of the mission, Ubuyashiki Yoya, although blind, still turned his head to where Yuhu was, sensing him.

"Only a head is left, but he's still alive. I didn't kill him with the Sun Wheel Sword." Li Xuan said.

"How strong are the upper ranks?" Ubuyashiki asked, supported by his wife.

Li Xuan recalled the scene of the battle with Yuhu, and roughly estimated it before speaking: "Even the pillars will find it difficult to defeat him."

What he said was already implicit. In his mind, only the Rock Pillar among the current nine pillars could surely defeat Yuhu, and the other pillars had to step back a little.

"Even the upper fifth is so powerful..." Ubuyashiki showed a worried look on his face.

Even Yuhu, the upper fifth, has such a strong strength, what about the upper ranks above him?

The next moment, the lord's brows relaxed again and faced Li Xuan.

The upper ranks are very strong, but you captured them alive. How strong are you? Fortunately, you are in the camp of the Demon Slayer Corps...

So, Ubuyashiki said to Li Xuan: "You completed the mission very well this time, and you also captured an upper rank alive, which is an incomparable good thing."

You should know that none of the current pillars have ever come into contact with the upper ranks. The only thing we know is that the upper ranks have killed many pillars in the history of the Demon Slayer Corps.

Very strong.

This is the general impression of the Demon Slayer Corps members on the upper ranks.

Ubuyashiki really didn't expect that a member who had just joined not long ago could capture an upper rank alive in the first mission, which not only prevented him from harming humans in the future, but also increased the Demon Slayer Corps' understanding of the upper ranks.

"You have met the conditions to become a pillar."

Ubuyashiki Yoya said.

"Hmm?"

Li Xuan was a little surprised.

Although he knew that the condition for becoming a pillar was to kill a lower-rank demon or kill fifty demons, and the difficulty of capturing the upper-rank demon alive was far greater than the former two, but in Li Xuan's expectation, he had joined the Demon Slayer Corps not long after all, and even if he made a great contribution this time, the other party would most likely not mention it.

But this was also a mistake in Li Xuan's prediction.

In the eyes of Ubuyashiki Yoya, Li Xuan was an extremely powerful swordsman who killed demons.

And such a swordsman, in the correspondence between Ubuyashiki and Li Xuan's master Urokodaki Sakonji, understood that Li Xuan was a person who did not have a clear belief in killing demons.

If possible, Ubuyashiki still wanted to tie Li Xuan to the big ship of the Demon Slayer Corps as soon as possible, return his heart to the Demon Slayer Corps, strengthen his sense of belonging to the Demon Slayer Corps, and clarify his belief in killing demons.

Therefore, although Ubuyashiki knew that Li Xuan was still inexperienced, he still gave him a stepping stone to become a pillar.

Use the "excuse" given by Li Xuan to "capture the upper-rank demon alive".

"Aren't there only nine pillars?" Li Xuan asked.

Ubuyashiki asked in confusion, "Why do you think so?"

Li Xuan immediately understood what he meant. There are not necessarily only nine pillars, but the others just don't meet the "conditions".

"Ah... nothing." Li Xuan replied.

"So what's your idea?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya asked for Li Xuan's opinion on becoming a pillar.

"It doesn't matter."

For Li Xuan, it doesn't matter whether he becomes a pillar or not.

Although becoming a pillar is obviously much easier, he doesn't have to be inferior to other pillars in status when communicating with other pillars for signing in.

If he becomes a pillar, wouldn't he be able to call Tanjiro at will?

Suddenly, Li Xuan found the benefits of becoming a pillar.

"I will announce this at the next pillar meeting." Ubuyashiki Yoya leaned forward slightly, as if to express respect.

To be honest, Ubuyashiki Yoya didn't want to push someone who had no faith in exterminating demons to the position of pillar, but Li Xuan's strength was too important. After understanding the strength of the upper ranks, he believed that Li Xuan was an indispensable and important fighting force.

Now it's not that Li Xuan can't do without the Demon Slayer Corps, but that the Demon Slayer Corps can't do without them.

Li Xuan is no longer available.

"Yes." Li Xuan nodded and said goodbye to the host.

"I will arrange for someone to study the upper string you captured alive later. I hope you don't refuse." Ubuyashiki Yoya finally said sincerely.

"Okay." Li Xuan replied.

Li Xuan returned to the room where he stayed at Kyojuro's house again and put away his belongings.

"It seems that it is useless to bring these things along the way. I won't bring them next time."

Li Xuan thought.

"Especially the Demon Slayer Corps uniform."

After staying in the room for a long time, Li Xuan still didn't see Rengoku Kyojuro coming.

Normally, with Kyojuro's personality, he should have rushed over to say hello after knowing the news of his friend's return, not to mention that the two of them had made a promise to come to the game to do their best to fight each other when they met again.

"Where is Mr. Rengoku?" Li Xuan asked the servant at home.

"Mr. Rengoku is on a mission." He got this response from the servant.

Did he go on a mission...

Li Xuan muttered in a low voice.

No wonder he didn't come to say hello.

That's good, I don't have to spar with him.

But normally, the headquarters will arrange at least one pillar to protect the lord's safety. Since Rengoku is going on a mission, there should be other pillars to replace him.

Should I go to that pillar to sign in?

Li Xuan suddenly thought.

Forget it, it's too troublesome, I'd better practice the Breathing of Mist first.

He gave up because he thought it was troublesome, and turned his focus to the sword skills of Breathing of Mist.

So, Li Xuan has been practicing his original breathing method in the courtyard these days.

Until one day, a woman in a haori stood by the house and smiled at Li Xuan who was experimenting with a new sword form.

"Moshimoshi~ Excuse me, is this Mr. Li Xuan?"

Li Xuan stopped swinging the Sun Wheel Sword, kept the breathing method in the normal state, and moved his eyes to the visitor.

Black short hair, with mysterious purple ends at the bangs. A pair of purple pupils seemed to be smiling kindly, complementing the beautiful face, revealing a gentle Yamato Nadeshiko image.

She wore a mint-colored butterfly hair accessory behind her hair, and a butterfly pattern was embroidered on her haori. Under the haori, she wore a neatly-dressed Demon Slayer Corps uniform.

Seeing the appearance and clothes of the visitor, her identity immediately came to mind.

Insect Pillar Kocho Shinobu.
