"Everyone, follow me!"
The Nine Pillars gave the order, leading all the prepared swordsmen to chase after the owl.
Swordsmen run extremely fast due to their breathing techniques, especially the Hashira, who can run much faster than even a train.
So even if the owl was flying in the sky, they could keep up.
There was no need to worry if some couldn't keep up.
There were also a bunch of Crows helping to relay messages, allowing those behind to catch up slowly.
"Flying Nimbus!"
Just then, Little Goku shouted towards the sky.
An auspicious cloud flew rapidly from the sky and stopped in front of Little Goku. Little Goku jumped onto the Flying Nimbus, and it carried him to catch up with Juliet the owl.
After finishing the hearty breakfast Uncle Sanda had prepared for him, he returned to his World once to bring the Flying Nimbus.
He wasn't riding the Flying Nimbus because he was lazy and didn't want to run with the swordsmen below.
Rather, he was concerned about the safety of Juliet the owl.
Juliet was borrowed from Hagrid, and Hagrid had deep affection for every magical creature he raised.
If Juliet died, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Hagrid upon his return.
So, he decided to ride the Flying Nimbus alongside Juliet, and once Kibutsuji Muzan was found, he would put Juliet away first.
Below, the Nine Pillars and the swordsmen watched Little Goku fly into the sky on his Flying Nimbus, their mouths agape.
"Honestly, I even suspect if he's the Reincarnation of a deity..."
Watching the owl's figure disappear into the distance, the Nine Pillars quickly led the swordsmen to accelerate and catch up.
During yesterday's meeting, they had already received more detailed information about Little Goku through the Master.
In addition to his powerful strength comparable to a Hashira, Little Goku possessed many peculiar abilities.
He could teleport, sense the location of demons within a certain range, heal injuries, and alleviate curses.
He could also use energy attacks similar to Blood Demon Art.
And now, he could even fly on a cloud. Wasn't flying on a cloud something only deities could do?
Thinking of this, their confidence in exterminating Kibutsuji Muzan this time greatly increased.
"The Master was right, it really isn't in the direction of Tokyo Prefecture!"
Following the owl, everyone soon discovered that their direction was almost ninety degrees off from Tokyo Prefecture.
What did this mean?
It meant that Kibutsuji Muzan was not in Tokyo Prefecture at all; if they had gone to Tokyo Prefecture, they would never have been able to kill Kibutsuji Muzan.
It was fortunate that Little Goku provided the owl, which could pinpoint Kibutsuji Muzan's true location.
Otherwise, they would have fallen completely into Kibutsuji Muzan's trap.
"Sanda, you've rendered great service!"
Running from morning to afternoon, with a ten-minute break to eat something simple to replenish their strength.
They finally found Kibutsuji Muzan's location before sunset.
Juliet the owl, clutching the letter, circled several times over a barren grassland, finally placing the letter on the open ground.
"Could there be a mistake? Where is Kibutsuji Muzan's demonic shadow here?"
The Demon Slayer Corps members looked at the deserted surroundings, their faces filled with doubt.
If it were a forest, it might be possible, but here, one could see to the horizon.
If Kibutsuji Muzan were here, he definitely couldn't hide, and it was still daytime.
The Nine Pillars, however, showed thoughtful expressions. Among them, the Rock Pillar stared at the owl on the ground and speculated, "Could he be underground?"
Perhaps Kibutsuji Muzan had built a Base underground; that would explain why the owl placed the letter here.
The owl couldn't fly into an underground Base, so it could only place the letter on the ground.
Moreover, being underground would effectively avoid the Sun.
"Then I'll punch my way underground to see."
The Sound Pillar intended to use a special move to drill a hole into the ground to investigate the depths, which was not difficult for him.
But the Flame Pillar shook his head: "That would cause too much commotion. I'm worried it might startle Kibutsuji Muzan, making it easy to be ambushed.
"Let me check first. If he really is down there, I can teleport you in."
Little Goku put the owl into a box, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began sensing the Ki within a fifteen-kilometer radius.
"So many evil Ki!"
A moment later, Little Goku sharply opened his eyes: "Kibutsuji Muzan should be down there, but not just him. I think the Twelve Kizuki and many other demons are also down there."
He sensed over a thousand evil Ki, similar to demons, deep underground, with more than a dozen of them being exceptionally powerful.
"This place is very far from Tokyo Prefecture. Could it be some kind of Blood Demon Art?"
The faces of the Hashira slightly changed.
They had originally thought that only Kibutsuji Muzan was here, and the Twelve Kizuki were near Tokyo Prefecture.
After all, this place was very far from Tokyo Prefecture. If the Twelve Kizuki and Kibutsuji Muzan stayed together, how could they hunt in Tokyo Prefecture at night?
So there was only one possibility.
A certain demon was proficient in spatial Blood Demon Art, capable of instantly teleporting the Twelve Kizuki and those other demons to Tokyo Prefecture.
"What do we do now?"
The Nine Pillars fell silent for a few seconds, then their eyes showed resolute determination.
"Goku, please take us down!"
Despite the unexpected turn of events, they had at least found Kibutsuji Muzan, so they would fight, slaying Kibutsuji Muzan and all the Twelve Kizuki.
Actually, they could also wait until dark, until the Twelve Kizuki and other demons went to Tokyo Prefecture, and then go down to ambush Kibutsuji Muzan.
That way, their chances of victory would be much greater.
However, who knew how many more people would die in Tokyo Prefecture because of that.
They absolutely could not do such a thing.
"Alright, I'll go in first. Ten seconds later, hold hands and grab this together; it will bring you to me."
Little Goku took out two sweaters, placing one on the ground.
These two sweaters were hand-knitted by Dumbledore and were also the most powerful portkeys Dumbledore had ever created.
They could transport hundreds of people at once.
The swordsmen participating in this battle were the elite of the Demon Slayer Corps, totaling two hundred people, all of whom could be transferred.
"Sweaters?"
The swordsmen looked at the pink sweater on the ground, exchanging glances.
However, given Little Goku's miraculous abilities, even flying on a cloud, they didn't question it and nodded in agreement.
Little Goku, holding the blue sweater, locked onto a powerful Ki deep underground, then used Apparition to disappear from the spot.
There were over a dozen exceptionally powerful Ki deep underground, and he wasn't sure which one was Kibutsuji Muzan, so he could only randomly choose one.
"Wow, so many rooms!"
Little Goku stood on a wooden platform, turning his head to look around. Wooden rooms filled every direction, up, down, left, and right.
At a glance, there was no end in sight.
And these rooms were connected by wooden bridges, forming a city made of countless rooms.
However, this city was not inhabited by humans, but by demons...
