Simultaneous travel: I am proving the great way in the heavens.

Chapter 93: Special Luofu! Your and my destiny, swallowed by desire!

Luo Fu was ruthlessly torturing Zhen Gu, bit by bit turning this girl into his own tool.

After going down the mountain, Rengoku Kyojuro went straight to the telegraph office and soon received a long telegram from his father.

That is the Purgatory family, several generations of ghost hunters, with a rich family background.

Otherwise, with the current price of telegrams, this long telegram alone would be enough to make an ordinary wealthy family bankrupt in an instant.

Through this long telegram from his father, Rengoku Kyojuro finally had a clear understanding of Luofu.

But it was precisely because he knew about Luofu's past that Rengoku Kyojuro could not wait to return to Mount Kumoqu as soon as possible, following the marks left by other ghost hunters, and hurried to reunite with everyone.

In a wooden house that looked like a temporary camp.

Several pillar-level members of the Demon Slayer Corps, including Rengoku Kyojuro, Kocho Kanae, Tomioka Giyu and Uzui Tengen, gathered together.

After showing this long telegram from my father to everyone.

The entire wooden house became silent.

After a while, Kocho Kanae said, "The original breathing method, the former veteran of the Demon Slayer Corps, the fierce evil spirit, this Mr. Luo Fu, is actually our predecessor."

"He is not our senior, he is a disgrace to the Demon Slayer Corps." Tengen Uzui drew out his Nichirin sword at some point, wiping the blade with a piece of silk cloth while saying, "No matter what his past was, after being transformed into an evil demon, he deserves to be killed for what he did."

"Please don't misunderstand Mr. Rengoku Kyojuro. I just... just feel a little emotional. I didn't expect that the target to be defeated this time is a former member of the Demon Slayer Corps." Kanae Kocho hurriedly explained.

In this long telegram from Rengoku Makijuro, everyone not only knew Luofu's former identity, but also knew the grudge between Rengoku Makijuro's family and Luofu.

The so-called original breathing method is one of several special breathing methods that were directly extended from the original breathing method.

But this is not the key point. The real key point is that Rengoku Makijuro’s wife actually died because of Luofu, and even died directly at Luofu’s hands.

It was also because of his wife's death that Rengoku Makijuro gave up his identity as a member of the Demon Slayer Corps and no longer cared about his identity as the Flame Pillar.

According to Rengoku Makijuro, their family became the source of generations of ghost hunters just to kill Luofu, the guy who possessed the original breathing method.

But a few years ago, Rengoku Makijuro, as the Flame Pillar, finally found the trace of Luofu.

It was also at this time that he, who had failed in his expedition against Luofu, incurred direct revenge from the evil spirit.

Although the evidence of his wife's death is not sufficient to determine that his wife died directly at the hands of Luo Fu, there is no doubt that there is a direct causal relationship between his wife's death and Luo Fu.

Such a blow almost instantly destroyed Rengoku Makijuro's confidence as the Flame Pillar.

He burned the portrait of Luo Fu that had been passed down in the family for who knows how long, and became addicted to alcohol.

If Rengoku Kyojuro had not risen so quickly and successfully inherited the identity of the Flame Pillar, the Breathing of Flame would have been in danger of being cut off in the Demon Slayer Corps.

There was such a hatred between Rengoku Kyojuro and Luofu, which was something that the other members of the Demon Slayer Corps had never imagined before.

This is also the reason why Kanae Kocho apologized to Rengoku Kyojuro.

Laughing, Rengoku Kyojuro said proudly, "It doesn't matter. You don't need to apologize. This guy named Luofu is our family's mortal enemy. My father burned his portrait, but I met him again so soon. This is obviously the fate of our Rengoku family and him. Killing evil spirits is the duty of the Demon Slayer Corps, and solving the enemy is my destiny. Not to mention, this Luofu is the murderer of my mother."

He clenched his fist tightly and swung it violently. Rengoku Kyojuro said, "I will definitely use my Nichirin Sword to chop off his head directly."

After expressing his determination, Rengoku Kyojuro changed the subject and asked, "Hasn't there been any trace of this Luofu in the past few days?"

Butterfly Kanae smiled bitterly and said, "After this guy took Makoto away, he completely disappeared. We searched for him on Kumotori Mountain for a long time but found no clues at all."

"What a pity." Yusui Tianyuan said, "Although Zhengu has tried to probe Luofu's purpose several times on the way, we know nothing about his purpose in searching for Yunqu Mountain. Otherwise, we could just sit back and wait."

Just as several Pillar-level demon hunters were discussing how to find Luofu's trace next, completely kill this guy who was a disgrace to the Demon Slayer Corps, and cut off his possibility of becoming a demon king more terrifying than Muzan Kibutsuji in the future.

A young man wearing simple clothes and with a birthmark-like pattern on his forehead came to the wooden house carrying a basket and knocked on the door.

When the young man arrived at the wooden house, he looked at everyone shyly before explaining, "Hello, everyone. My mother asked me to bring some wild vegetables to entertain you."

"He is..." Rengoku Kyojuro, who was not in the mountains these days, looked at his other colleagues with some confusion.

"He is Tanjiro Kamado, the eldest son of the Kamado family who live in the mountains. The wooden house where we are now staying was built by the Kamado family." explained Kanae Kocho.

Rengoku Kyojuro suddenly realized what was going on, bowed to Kamado Tanjiro, and said, "Thank you for your help during this time."

Tanjiro Kamado put down the basket and waved his hands quickly, saying, "No trouble, no trouble. You rented the cabin and paid for it. And..."

A shy look appeared between his eyebrows, and Tanjiro Kamado said a little embarrassedly: "The money you gave is a bit too much."

"Haha..." Rengoku Kyojuro laughed and said, "It doesn't matter. Young man, if you give us more, just consider it as our compensation. After all, if we hadn't rented your house, we would probably have to sleep outdoors in the mountains. Now we not only have a place to live, but also delicious food."

Tanjiro Kamado became more and more embarrassed and explained, "It's not some precious food. It's just wild vegetables picked by my mother, brothers and sisters in the mountains. Please don't despise it."

As he spoke, Tanjiro Kamado opened the basket somewhat at a loss and took out several plates of beautifully prepared wild vegetables and rice balls.

If Luofu was here, he would probably be able to tell at a glance that the wild vegetables and rice balls that Tanjiro Kamado gave to the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were not just rice balls, but the wild vegetables were clearly the blue spider lilies that Muzan Kibutsuji had been searching for for a thousand years without finding any clues.

These green spider lilies that are made into wild vegetables are just a kind of food to fill the stomach for ordinary humans, and they don’t taste that good.

But for evil spirits, this is their most precious treasure that helps them escape from the inability to appear in the sunlight.

While serving rice balls and wild vegetables to Rengoku Kyojuro and others, Tanjiro Kamado was waiting with great anticipation for these nobles in front of him to be satisfied with the food prepared by his mother and younger brothers and sisters.

It is actually not difficult to understand Tanjiro Kamado's thoughts.

After all, when the members of the Demon Slayer Corps borrowed the Kamado family's wooden house, they offered a very generous reward.

Of course, this so-called abundance is only relative to Tanjiro Kamado's family.

In fact, this is also because Tanjiro Kamado's family is really too poor.

It was because of some unknown reason that Tanjuro Kamado's father, Tanjuro Kamado, suddenly became increasingly weak in recent years. After being tortured by illness for several years, he finally passed away.

Although Tanjiro Kamado is still a child, as the eldest son of the Kamado family, he has to shoulder the burden of supporting the family.

The income of the Kamado family comes only from selling charcoal. No matter how hard Tanjiro Kamado works, he can only barely make ends meet for his family.

If not for this, Zaomen Kuizhi would not have taken the children to dig wild vegetables so often.

Even though Tanjiro Kamado now only sent rice balls and wild vegetables, this was a feast that even the Kamado family could not enjoy often.

Yes, the Kamado family is so miserable, or rather, the situation of the Kamado family is the most common situation for civilians on the island of this era.

The members of the Demon Slayer Corps have traveled far and wide to fight against evil spirits, so they naturally guessed Tanjiro Kamado's little trick.

Several Pillar-level demon hunters smiled at each other, and under Tanjiro Kamado's expectant gaze, they took the rice balls and wild vegetables and began to taste them.

Because of the appearance of Luofu, Tanjiro Kamado came into contact with the Demon Slayer Corps in advance.

On the other side, under Luofu's negotiation.

No matter how much Zhen Gu hated the evil ghost, he still chose to surrender in the end. However, after surrendering, Zhen Gu's eyes, which used to be lively, became completely dull and no longer had the light they once had.

However, this is also the norm for the Demon Slayer Corps. In Luofu's opinion, except for a very small number of members of the Demon Slayer Corps, the vast majority of the members actually have lifeless eyes.

Having lifeless eyes is completely different from having a bright and restrained spirit in the world of other people. The latter is when one's life becomes powerful, one becomes like a god and conceals oneself, restraining one's own energy and spirit in order to achieve a high state in which one can attain longevity.

The former is a kind of person with strong life but weak nature, which causes the spirit to be suppressed by the body and unable to penetrate the whole body, causing the eyes to become dim.

One is deliberate restraint, the other is essentially insufficient. The difference between the two is as vast as the difference between heaven and earth.

In the Demon Slayer Corps, even many of the powerful Pillar-level warriors are almost of this type.

For example, Shinobu Kocho, Kanao Kurikaryu, Ubuyashiki Teriyachi's eldest son, and Tomioka Giyuu almost all have dim eyes.

If they only practice breathing techniques and pursue strong bodies and lethality, there is no doubt that it is almost impossible for the Demon Slayer Corps members to have any chance to practice their sexual skills.

At this moment, Zhen Gu, because of Luofu's attack, has reached this level ahead of time.

Luo Fu actually felt a little bit reluctant to see a lovely girl being tortured into such a tool.

But compared to his ambition, Luo Fu would definitely not feel much guilt for using Zhen Gu as a sacrifice and stepping stone. "It seems that you have accepted your new identity now." Luo Fu approached Zhen Gu with interest, staring into her lifeless eyes, and said, "Now tell me, do you know where the Zaomen family, who make a living by selling charcoal in Yunqu Mountain, live?"

A trace of hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes, but when he thought about the feeling of being unable to live or die under Luo Fu's torture just now, Zhen Gu finally compromised. He subconsciously lowered his eyes and said, "I have been away from my hometown for too long. I don't know if the Kamado family still lives in the original place."

"Oh?" His eyes lit up. Actually, when asking Zhen Gu, Luofu didn't have much hope. Although Zhen Gu did live in Yunqu Mountain before, the Zaomen family lived in the deep mountains, while Zheng Gu lived in the town at the foot of the mountain.

The possibility of communication between the two is not high.

Unexpectedly, Zhen Gu still gave Luofu a surprise.

Luofu's purpose in finding out about the residence of the Zaomon family was not to ask for the Breathing of the Sun from them.

Don't forget that the breathing method of his predecessor before he was transformed into an evil spirit was taught by Yoshiichi Tsugumi.

It can be said that he is the direct descendant of Tsugumi Yoriichi. Even the Kamado family cannot compare to Luofu in terms of their understanding of Sun Breathing.

The real reason why Luofu cared about the Zaomen family was the green spider lilies that were very likely growing around the Zaomen family's residence.

Luo Fu knew that the key reason why Muzan Kibutsuji had not been able to find the whereabouts of the blue spider lily for so many years was that the blue spider lily grew for a very short time and only bloomed briefly at noon, when the sun was at its hottest.

Even a normal person would feel uncomfortable in such weather, let alone an evil spirit.

Especially over the past thousand years, the world has changed dramatically, and the growth environment of the blue spider lily may have changed. At the very least, it is definitely different from what Muzan Kibutsuji knew back then.

The short growth period, coupled with the fact that it only blooms under the strongest sunlight at noon, and the harsh conditions that require one to wait until the next year if one misses the flowering period, meant that Muzan Kibutsuji was unable to find any trace of the blue spider lily for a thousand years.

Although the blue spider lily has a growth period of several days, it only blooms at noon. Luofu doesn't dare to gamble whether the blue spider lily will still be effective if it is not picked at noon.

After all, this prescription that created a horrific creature like Muzan Kibutsuji, any slight change in it could affect the final effect.

Now that Yunqu Mountain has been found, Luofu must of course pursue ultimate perfection.

Unfortunately, Zhen Gu was too smart. Not only did he see through Luo Fu's identity in advance, he even tricked him. If this girl was a little dumber, Luo Fu might have used her to complete his plan to get the blue spider lily.

At Luofu's request, Zhengu, who was tortured to the point of almost losing the courage to resist and even at risk of personality collapse, had no choice but to take Luofu with him and head towards the residence of the Kamado family in Yunqu Mountain in his memory.

At this time, Luofu did not know that the residence of the Kamado family that Zhenkomo knew was exactly where the members of the Demon Slayer Corps were temporarily staying.

Although Zhengu did know in his memory where the Kamado family lived in Mount Kumotoriki.

But after many years, and after taking Luofu for several circles in the mountains, Zhen Gu finally found a familiar feeling.

However, when Zhengu was about to follow this familiar feeling and find the former residence of the Kamado family.

A sense of crisis suddenly came over me.

Zhen Gu's heart suddenly tightened.

Looking around, she realized that she had unknowingly brought Luofu into the ambush of the Demon Slayer Corps.

They saw the Demon Slayer Corps members around them holding the Nichirin Swords and completely surrounding them.

The first thought that came to Zhen Gu's mind was not the worry about death, but the fear of Luofu. Even in Zhen Gu's mind, death was a relief compared to Luofu's punishment.

Without waiting for Zhenguo to explain, Luofu, who was standing behind her, quickly guessed the whole story from the emotions of these Demon Slayer Corps members.

Although Mount Kumotorii is not small in area, it is actually not that big compared to the number of members of the Demon Slayer Corps.

In particular, since the Demon Slayer Corps is here to hunt him down, they will definitely choose someone who is familiar with the environment of Mount Kumotori as a guide.

Tanjiro Kamado and his family are the most suitable people for the members of the Demon Slayer Corps to contact in Mt. Kumotori.

One is Tanjiro Kamado, who needs to go down the mountain regularly to sell charcoal. He is trustworthy in terms of his identity. The other is that as a family of charcoal burners, he knows the environment of Mount Kumotori well and is definitely the best choice to be a guide.

All I can say is that while looking for Tanjiro Kamado's family, they ran into members of the Demon Slayer Corps. Although it was somewhat unexpected, it was also reasonable.

"Don't worry." Luo Fu had tortured Zhen Gu before in order to defeat her inner arrogance and hostility towards him, but she was not really a psychopath.

Although at first glance, it does seem that Shinkomo has led him into the trap of the Demon Slayer Corps.

But Shinkomo's panic and shock, and the Demon Slayer Corps members' surprise, couldn't be faked.

"It seems like it's really a coincidence this time!"

The moment the words fell, the Seven Sins and Seven Emotions clones appeared to split apart and walked out from Luofu's body.

In terms of numbers, Luo Fu was indeed at a disadvantage. However, at this moment, none of the Demon Slayer Corps members could really hold Luo Fu back.

At most, there are members of levels A, B, C, and D as leaders.

Luofu's clone could easily tear open the encirclement of pillar-level beings, let alone these ordinary trash.

In just a blink of an eye, countless members of the Demon Slayer Corps died tragically at the hands of Luofu's clones.

Seeing this scene, unlike other people who were transformed into evil spirits and lost their past memories, Zhengu closed his eyes in pain.

Luo Fu's true self appeared behind Zhen Gu at some point, gently rubbed his hair, and said, "Now only with me is your destiny. Give up your previous persistence. I think you should have felt that although you have been transformed into an evil ghost by me, you don't have such a strong desire for human flesh and blood, right? Otherwise, now there is a river of blood here. You are a newly transformed evil ghost who has not even eaten a little human flesh and blood. Can you really endure it? You should know how strong the attraction of human flesh and blood is to evil ghosts."

Zhen Gu was stunned for a moment.

Among the evil demons, from the Demon King Muzan Kibutsuji, to the Upper and Lower Rank demons in the middle, and to the small evil demons, they are simply unable to resist the attraction to human flesh and blood.

Even the future Nezuko Kamado, such a special existence, drooled when facing the members of the Demon Slayer Corps who deliberately cut their fingers and saw the blood flowing out. Even if Tanjiro Kamado hadn't been calling Nezuko's name constantly, preventing Nezuko's humanity from being completely devoured by desire, I'm afraid even Nezuko wouldn't be able to bear the attraction of flesh and blood.

However, Zhen Gu was indeed transformed into an evil ghost by Luo Fu. But until now, she has not had any strong desire for human flesh and blood.

Even Nezuko, when she was first transformed into a demon, couldn't help but attack her brother Tanjiro Kamado.

Zhen Gu, however, was almost no different from a normal human being from beginning to end, except for confirming his identity as a demon.

"You...I..." After the shock, Zhen Gu was both surprised and happy.

As if he had guessed what Zhen Gu was thinking, Luo Fu attacked him directly, "Don't dream. You are now an evil ghost. Even if you don't need to eat people, you can't change this. Don't forget that you can't even get close to your most precious Sun Blade."

Taking a deep breath, Shinkomo mustered up his courage and said, "You...you are different from the evil spirits, right? You...you are just like Mr. Tamayo, you have escaped the control of the Demon King."

Looking at Zhen Gu with a little surprise, Luo Fu asked in surprise: "You actually know Zhu Shi?"

Even within the Demon Slayer Corps, Tamayo's existence is a secret that is only allowed to be known within a very small circle of people.

As for Maokomo, until she was transformed into a demon by Luofu, she was never able to become an official member of the Demon Slayer Corps. Luofu was really surprised that she knew about Tamayo's existence.

You know, even Tanjiro Kamado knew about Tamayo's existence due to an unexpected coincidence, coupled with the special nature of his sister Nezuko Kamado.

Ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps have no qualifications to know about Tamayo's existence.

Zhen Gu nodded vigorously, and even his fear of Luo Fu decreased a little.

"I...I heard Master mention the existence of Mr. Tamayo!!"

Thinking of Maou's master, Urokodaki Sakonji, Luofu suddenly understood.

As the former Water Pillar, Urokodaki Sakonji is definitely a very special existence in the Demon Slayer Corps.

Not to mention anything else, just looking at the attitude of other pillar-level beings towards evil spirits is enough to make people feel the specialness of the Water Pillar lineage.

The current Water Pillar, Giyu Tomioka, clearly saw Nezuko Kamado, but after confirming Nezuko's special nature, he directly chose to help Tanjiro Kamado.

The same was true for Urokodaki Sakonji. On the contrary, the other pillar-level beings almost adopted the attitude of killing without letting go when dealing with evil spirits.

It’s a pity that even the Demon Slayer Corps has a certain degree of cooperation with Tamayo, who has broken free from the control of Muzan Kibutsuji.

But it is impossible for Luofu to be treated the same way as Zhu Shi.

The reason is very simple. Who asked the leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, Ubuyashiki Yoshiya, to use his special abilities and see something in the future, and he even sent several pillars to cooperate in his attempt to kill Luofu?
From this point alone, it is destined that Rofu will not be able to cooperate with the Demon Slayer Corps, even if Rofu proves that he is more special than Tamayo, it will still be impossible.
