A dimensional journey starting from the Dragon Clan

Chapter 398 391. Nezuko Kamado

early morning.

Inside a dilapidated wooden house.

Nezuko was sleeping quietly in the bed.

She has been sleeping for two years since Tanjiro brought her here.

If she wasn't still breathing, even her brother Tanjiro would suspect that she was dead.

The sleeping Nezuko is not far away.

Tanjiro knelt down respectfully in front of Xuanhao, who was disguised as 'Rintaki Sakonji', and listened carefully to the teacher's last instructions before he left.

"According to the current intelligence of the Demon Slayer Team, there is only one ghost in the world who can use his own blood to turn humans into ghosts. You should know who I am referring to, right?" Xuan Hao asked in a deep voice.

"Is this the ghost king you mentioned before, Muzan Kibutsuji?" Tanjiro's expression became a little solemn when the teacher mentioned this matter again.

"Yes, Onibatsuji Muzan was the first person to become a ghost more than a thousand years ago. He is the enemy who killed your family. He may also be the key to turning Nezuko back into a human." Xuanhao said, "Currently, humans have not yet mastered a method that can restore humans who have become ghosts to their original state, but if it is Muzan Onimussuji, who is the King of Ghosts, he may know something."

"Teacher, what you're saying is...if I want to help Nezuko turn back into a human, do I have to find Muzan Kibutsuji?"

"Yes, this is one of the tasks I want to give you."

Xuan Hao nodded lightly, "However, Ghost Dance Tsuji Muzan has been hiding for a long time, and it won't be that easy to find him..."

"Kibutsuji Mumei is the strongest ghost in the world and the source of ghosts. As long as you kill him, ghosts will no longer appear in this world. But even if you find him, you may not be able to do it with your current strength." You will be his opponent, so be careful, understand?”

"I understand, teacher!"

Tanjiro's face was full of seriousness, "I will definitely find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human, so I will definitely find Kibutsuji Muzan!"

Whether it is for the sake of his deceased family members or to prevent more people from suffering the same fate as himself, Tanjiro believes that he must find a way to turn humans back into ghosts, and he must find a way to kill this ghost king.

"That's good." Xuan Hao nodded slowly, looking at the determined young man in front of him with some relief, "Now you can leave here and go to Tengxi Mountain to participate in the 'final selection'."

"Yes, teacher! It's just..."

As he spoke, Tanjiro turned his gaze to Nezuko, who was still unconscious.

Nezuko has been sleeping here for two years. As an older brother, it is impossible not to worry. It is only because the teacher has been comforting him that Nezuko will be fine, that he can concentrate on training.

"Don't worry."

Noticing Tanjiro's gaze, Xuanhao also cast his gaze on Nezuko, and his eyes under the mask became much softer.

"Nezuko is different from ordinary ghosts. In her current state, she should be using sleep instead of eating human flesh and blood to restore her physical strength. You must know that ordinary ghosts will fall into a trap if they do not eat human flesh and blood for two years. In a state of madness.”

"Is that so?"

The worry on Tanjiro's face dissipated a little, and he now fully trusts the teacher's words, "Then... Nezuko will temporarily trouble the teacher. After passing the 'final selection', I will be back soon." !”

"No trouble, no trouble."

Xuanhao gently knocked on Tanjiro's head, making a crisp sound.

This young man's head... is not ordinary.

"I have been taking care of Nezuko for nearly two years. Don't worry, go ahead."

"Ah! Okay, teacher!"

Tanjiro covered his head, which hurt a little from the knock.

After Tanjiro left with the Nichirin Sword, Xuanhao focused his attention on Nezuko, who was sleeping beside him.

"What should we do next?"

He looked at Nezuko with a headache.

With Tanjiro's ability to be close to Hashira, he has no worries about what will happen when he participates in the final selection. The most critical issue now is Nezuko.

In the past two years, he had also tried to find a way to turn Nezuko back into a human, but unfortunately he could not find any way.

After the innocent blood is injected into the human body, it will cause the cells in the human body to mutate. Mutation is not damage. What is needed is remodeling rather than repair. Therefore, even if Xuan Hao wants to use the power he currently has at his disposal to repair it, it will have no effect at all.

As for other methods, such as using his blood to change the blood vessels in Nezuko's body, it's not like he hasn't thought about it, but the risk is too high. No one knows what kind of chemical reaction the ghost will cause after receiving his blood. ', there is no way he would risk Nezuko.

And even if Wuhan couldn't monitor every move of every ghost, if someone wanted to interfere with a certain ghost's bloodline, Wuhan wouldn't be able to detect it.

"So we can only ignore it for now? But..."

Xuan Hao's brows furrowed more and more tightly.

Because if Nezuko cannot be turned back into a human, he will be helpless even if he finds Muzan Kibutsuji.

Wu Kai is the source of ghosts. If Wu Kai dies, the ghosts that have received Wu Kai's blood will also disappear. This is the most troublesome part.

"No matter what, we have to find a way to get Nezuko out of Muzan's control first..."

Xuanhao recalled whether there was any way to get the ghost out of Wuhan's control.

Finally, he remembered a special ghost - Zhu Shi.

Although he didn't know whether Zhu Shi was still alive after five hundred years, he clearly remembered that Zhu Shi had indeed escaped from Wu Mei's control through unexpected circumstances.

He remembered that the condition for Zhu Shi to escape Wu Mei's control seemed to be because Wu Mei was severely injured and weakened by Ji Guoyuanyi!

And if Zhu Shi is still alive in the world now, after so many years, maybe she will have other ways to get rid of Wu Mei's control...

"Looks like I have to find her again."

After sorting out his thoughts, Xuan Hao decided to meet the ghost named Zhu Shi again.

But now it was obvious that he couldn't leave here. Tanjiro hadn't come back yet, and Nezuko was in a coma. He had to stay and take care of Nezuko for the time being.

"Let's wait until Tanjiro comes back..."

"Dong-dong-dong-"

Just as Xuan Hao was thinking, the door of the wooden house was lightly knocked.

"Dong-dong-dong-"

As if out of politeness, the other party knocked on the door very regularly, and such a wooden door could be pushed open easily.

Xuanhao frowned and looked in the direction of the door, "Yuyashiki?" What are you doing here at this time?

Even without opening the door, he could clearly sense the identity of the person coming outside.

Three people in total.

Riding a carriage.

The people sitting in the carriage were Uyashiki Yōya and his wife Uyashiki Amane, who was accompanying him to take care of him.

Because it was daytime, there were no Demon Slayer swordsmen as guards, only a hidden driver.

Yin knocked on the door very politely, but there was no response for a long time. He thought it was because there was no one in the room.

"Okay, no need to knock."

Ubuyashiki Yaoya got down from the carriage with some difficulty with the support of his wife.

"Yes." After receiving Uyashiki's order, Yin stepped aside respectfully.

Ubuya Shiki Yaoya slowly walked to the door of the wooden house with the support of his wife.

"Mr. Xuanhao, I have the liberty to ask for an audience with Utsuya Shiki Yaoya."

He stood respectfully at the door waiting for a response from the people in the room.

Yin on the side looked at his lord's respectful behavior with some surprise. He remembered that no one in the Demon Slayer Squad seemed to be able to make his lord so respectful?

On the side, Ubuya Shiki Amane seemed to have known about this for a long time, but she just supported her husband respectfully and saluted the closed wooden door.

"Why are you here?"

Xuanhao opened the door and looked at Yoya Shiki, who needed help even to stand.

He didn't understand why Ubuyashiki Yaoya came here.

This man is seriously ill and probably doesn't have long to live. As the spiritual leader of the Demon Slayer Corps, what this man should do now is to rest in the mansion and try to live longer so that he can better lead the ghosts. Kill the team and fight.

If anything happens, you can send the message directly through the 黒铹 Crow. There is no need to travel all the way to visit in person.

"Mr. Xuanhao, can you let me in and talk again?"

Ubuyashiki Yōya smiled at the man in front of him. He could no longer see him, but he could feel that there was a person standing in front of him and blocking the way.

As for why Xuanhao blocked the door to prevent them from entering, he had already heard about it from Rin Taki Sakonji.

"Okay, but the two of them have to stay outside."

"certainly."

Ubuyashiki Yōya gently patted the hand of his wife who was supporting him and motioned for her to step away first.

"But you..."

Ubuyashiki Amane looked hesitant and let go of her husband's hand. Now Ubuyashiki Yoshiya should no longer be able to move around on his own.

"It doesn't matter."

A reassuring smile appeared on Uyashiki Yōya's face.

He gently pushed his wife away and stood shaky on the spot, looking so weak that he might fall over if the wind blew.

"well……"

Xuanhao sighed helplessly when he saw Uyashiki Yōya unable to walk, so why bother to show off and come here?

He gently put his hand on Uyashiki's shoulder.

Uyashiki Yoya was slightly stunned, and the expression on his face became a little surprised.

Because from the moment this man touched him, he felt as if his body came to life again.

He raised his head and faced Xuan Hao with a confused expression, as if he still couldn't understand what was happening.

"Let's talk after you come in."

Xuanhao pressed his hand slightly on Ubuyashiki Yaoya's shoulder, and Ubuyashiki walked into the room smoothly under the guidance of this force.

The wooden door closed gently.

The two sat next to the sleeping Nezuko, and the atmosphere fell into a brief silence.

"Sir, what did you just do to me?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya felt the sudden changes in his body and asked the man in front of him curiously.

He could clearly feel that his physical condition had improved a lot since coming into contact with this man just now. His originally weak body seemed to be showing signs of rejuvenation. His body was constantly dying and collapsing due to the 'curse'. But at this moment, it was as if there was an inexplicable force repairing the dead cells in his body and bringing new vitality to his body.

"You know, I used the same method to save Purgatory Shinichiro five hundred years ago." Xuan Hao replied.

"I see."

Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded slowly.

He had only seen this matter in family records, but he never expected to experience this magical power in person.

According to the records handed down from the family, Xuan Hao fell into a deep sleep immediately after saving Purgatory Shinichiro. This method of saving people should be very consuming, but seeing Xuan Hao help him now, he seemed to have no intention of doing anything. The look of effort made Uyashiki Yōya a little more confident that Xuanhao could defeat Kibutsuji Mukai.

It seemed that I was indeed right. Ubuyashiki sighed in his heart. After five hundred years of sleeping, the 'Mingzhu' master may be stronger than before. In this way, it is only a matter of time before the ghosts are completely eliminated from the world.

"Thank you sir for your help."

Ubuyashiki, who was kneeling on the tatami, bent down and saluted the man in front of him.

"It's just a little effort."

Xuan Hao waved his hand, "Your physical condition is very bad. I can't completely cure it yet, but I should be able to keep you going for a little longer."

He had just checked the physical condition of Ubuya Shiki Yoshiya. To describe it as bad was a bit euphemistic. Although he was only in his twenties, his whole body looked like that of a dying old man. Many places were already necrotic.

But it was just to repair the body of an ordinary person. Xuanhao thought he could do it, but when the power was applied to Ubuya Shiki Yoya, he was surprised to find that even if he repaired it, it had no effect.

Because there seems to be some kind of 'curse' on Uyashiki's body. Even if the necrotic tissues are repaired, they will collapse quickly again. All he can do is to delay Uyashiki Yoshiya's time.

It is said that the Uyashiki clan is like this because there is a guy like Muzan in the family and they are cursed. It is said that only by killing Muzan onibutsuji can the 'curse' be lifted.

This makes Xuan Hao completely unable to understand where such a 'curse' comes from, because there seems to be no connection between the two things, and such a 'curse' is completely beyond common sense. If it can only be done by killing Wu To solve it miserably... Then this can only be explained by 'divine power'.

"That's enough."

Ubuyashiki Yoshiya was extremely grateful for this. He knew his own physical condition best. This kind of curse had been going on in their family for thousands of years, and they didn't know any other way to solve it except killing Muzan.

But now that he can live a little longer with Xuanhao's help, he is very satisfied.

"I will make good use of the rest of my life to help you find Muzan Kibutsuji."

"Um."

Xuan Hao nodded slightly.

"Tell me, why did you come here to find me?"

Ubuyashiki Yōya did not answer, but faced Nezuko, who was sleeping on the bed beside him.

With Xuan Hao's help, although his eyes that had almost lost their brightness could not see the things in front of him as clearly as they once did, they could barely see some blurry outlines.

He reached out and stroked the sleeping girl's forehead.

"What a poor child..."

Ubuyashiki Yōya felt the girl's breathing as if she was sleeping and said with emotion, "Is this the special child that Mr. Rintaki mentioned when he sent the message to me?"

He heard Rin Taki talk about this girl's past, and that she was a poor child whose family was destroyed by Tsuji Mukai. It is said that the whole family was killed by Mukai, leaving only one brother, and he was forced to become a ghost.

"Her name is Nezuko." Xuanhao said, "She has been sleeping like this for two years. She has never hurt anyone since she turned into a ghost."

"Nezuko? It's indeed special."

A soft smile appeared on Uyashiki Yōya's face.

Although he couldn't see clearly, he couldn't feel anything similar to a ghost from the sleeping girl. The sleeping girl really looked like an ordinary girl.

"Has her brother already joined the Demon Slayer Corps?" Ubuyashiki asked.

"It's an unfortunate time for you to come. Tanjiro has just left for the final selection not long ago." Xuanhao replied.

"I see, is your name Tanjiro? I will keep an eye on this child." Ubuyashiki said with a smile.

"Thank you very much." Xuan Hao nodded, "Is this why you came here to ask about this?"

"Yes."

Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded slightly.

He thought he had to confirm the situation about Nezuko himself.

Because the things involved were a bit too big. The man in front of him was the hope of the Demon Slayer Corps, and this 'hope' suddenly cared about and even protected a ghost, which had to make him a little nervous.

"Does Mr. Xuanhao firmly believe that Nezuko will be the key to solving the problem between humans and ghosts?"

Ubuyashiki Yoya raised his head and faced the man in front of him, as if he wanted to confirm something.

"I don't know if it can solve the problem between humans and ghosts, but I'm sure Nezuko is special." Xuan Hao answered affirmatively.

"I see."

Ubuyashiki Yōya nodded slightly, "But...she is a ghost after all, and I am the lord of the Demon Slayer Squad."

Saying this, Uyashiki once again put his hand on Nezuko's head and stroked it gently, as if coaxing a sleeping child.

"Mr. Xuanhao, please let me add an insurance policy to her?"

Ubuyashiki asked Xuanhao for instructions, "You know, after all, I am the lord of the Demon Slayer Squad, so the first thing I guarantee must be the safety of human beings."

"what you up to?"

Seeing Ubuyashiki's actions, Xuanhao frowned.

Ubuyashiki smiled and said, "I won't do anything, I just want to ask, Mr. Xuanhao... what kind of future do you hope this child will have in the future?"

"What kind of future?"

Xuanhao was stunned for a moment.

Because this was the problem that had been bothering him for a long time, Nezuko was already very unfortunate, and he couldn't think of a future that would make this child happy.

"Huh...huh..."

There was a brief silence in the room, and only Nezuko's even breathing could be heard.

This girl, who is only fourteen years old and even still a little childish, looks so sweet and peaceful sleeping at the moment. No one will think that she is a ghost, and no one will be able to tell that she has experienced it. What despair.

Xuan Hao looked at the sleeping girl quietly, "She... only has one brother left."

"Yes." Uyashiki Yoshiya also felt a little emotional about Midouzi's experience.

After another long silence, Xuan Hao broke the silence again, "But even so, I hope she can have a happy future."

"I see."

Yoya Shiki, who was quietly waiting for Xuanhao's answer, was slightly stunned. He noticed the sadness and tenderness in the eyes of this extremely powerful man.

"Did you hear that? Nezuko."

Ubuya Shiki Yōya smiled and caressed Nezuko's forehead. A gentle voice like a spring breeze came from his mouth, as if it could go straight into the soul.

"Woo..."

Nezuko, who was sleeping, let out a soft whimper, seemingly in response to his words.

"We all wish you a happy future."

Ubuyashiki Yōya raised his head and spoke softly, as if he was speaking to the sleeping Nezuko, as if he was comforting Xuanhao in front of him, and as if he was talking to himself.

"But... the future of mankind has never been decided by others."

"You can't lose to ghosts, you have to protect your family."

"We have to strive for a happy future ourselves."
