Starting in The Boys to Become the Ultimate Lifeform.

171. Chapter 171: That Guy, His Guts Aren't Even as Big as The Female's

Sanemi Shinazugawa's mood was extremely unstable at this moment.

"Anger solves nothing, Sanemi. Please calm down a little. Right now, we need to discuss together how to resolve this demon outbreak." Kagaya Ubuyashiki's words made Sanemi Shinazugawa clench his teeth, standing aside and falling silent.

"Oyakata-sama, Muzan has been hiding in unknown places for hundreds of years, and his Twelve Kizuki rarely attack humans everywhere. Only those low-level ordinary demons constantly grow stronger by eating people, but these are within our controllable range. It seems Muzan doesn't want his existence to become widely known."

Shinobu Kocho continued, puzzled: "Something must have happened to stimulate Muzan Kibutsuji, making him impatient to get the Blue Spider Lily. That's why he's disregarding everything and creating multiple terror incidents. This is a threat to force us and the Shogunate to help him find the Blue Spider Lily."

"Stimulate? Could Hantengu's death have stimulated him? That's impossible." Tengen Uzui fell into thought.

Before they knew it.

Everyone's gaze converged on Xia Shang.

It was clear that only Xia Shang had been in contact with Muzan recently. As for what happened, presumably only he knew best.

Xia Shang didn't hide anything. He said calmly: "If I'm not mistaken, he probably mistook me for a demon who had consumed the Blue Spider Lily. My appearance made him certain that the Blue Spider Lily exists in the world. Therefore, he's not only threatening you with human lives, but also threatening me."

"Mr. Xia Shang, you said before that you know where the Blue Spider Lily is. Is that true?" Tamayo also didn't want to see more people die because of Muzan.

"I do know, but do you want to give the flower to him?" The corner of Xia Shang's mouth slightly curved upwards.

I have to say, after being severely beaten by him, it's really strange that Muzan actually gained some sense.

He actually knows how to use the general situation to pressure him. Unless he's like Muzan, without a shred of human nature in him and uncaring about anyone's life or death, it's hard not to be affected. Just like now, several people, in order to stop Muzan from continuing his madness, have already wavered in their resolve to hand over the flower.

During Tamayo's period of hesitation.

Over a dozen Kasugai Crows flew in flocks. Before they even landed, they kept bringing bad news.

Fortunately, demons cannot act during the day, otherwise the number of casualties would be even more unimaginable.

"Oyakata-sama, this is a letter from Lord Tokugawa." One of the black Kasugai Crows lowered its head, untied the bamboo rope tied to its leg, and handed the rolled-up letter to Kagaya Ubuyashiki.

After Kagaya Ubuyashiki received the letter, he didn't open it. In fact, he knew without looking that the Shogunate must be ordering the Demon Slayer Corps to find and hand over the Blue Spider Lily as soon as possible to ensure the situation returns to calm. Kagaya Ubuyashiki was not surprised by the Shogunate's actions. Although the Ubuyashiki family had a good relationship with the Tokugawa family.

But the situation was urgent now. To maintain their rule, how could the Tokugawa family possibly consider past sentiments?

Furthermore, the Demon Slayer Corps had never been officially recognized by the Shogunate from beginning to end.

In the Shogunate's view, the existence of the Demon Slayer Corps was no different from demons; they were all unstable forces. One could even say that if demons were to disappear from this world one day, the Demon Slayer Corps would also gradually be suppressed until they vanished.

"Mr. Xia Shang, please tell us the location of the Blue Spider Lily. I understand Muzan. To become a truly perfect creature, he can do anything. He wouldn't even hesitate to kill all the demons himself."

Tamayo said with a frown.

"So, you want to use the Blue Spider Lily to blackmail Muzan, make him stop all operations, and even have him personally kill the demons he created?" Xia Shang's eyes held a hint of playfulness.

"This is the best method I can think of." At this moment, Obanai Iguro spoke. "It sounds a bit ridiculous. I don't believe Muzan would be that foolish. Since he knows we have the Blue Spider Lily, why wouldn't he threaten us with the lives of ordinary humans, just like now, to make us hand over the Blue Spider Lily?"

"You don't understand Muzan."

Xia Shang looked at Tamayo. "That guy Muzan, his guts aren't even as big as The Female's. Describing him as 'throwing a rat but fearing to break the dishes' is not an exaggeration at all. If we truly had the Blue Spider Lily in our hands, he would absolutely not dare to act rashly.

Once we destroy the flower, he'll get nothing. However, it's impossible for him to agree to your conditions immediately. The most likely scenario is that the slaughter will continue until he sees that you are unmoved. Only then will he panic. Although, deep down, he is certain that you will never stand by and do nothing and will definitely hand over the Blue Spider Lily.

But he doesn't dare to gamble, not even on a slight accident."

Tamayo looked deeply at Xia Shang. After a moment, she nodded and said, "You understand him better than I do."

"Are you saying we should just let him slaughter innocent humans? Sorry, at least I can't do that." Although Kyojuro Rengoku's voice was as loud as ever, his hearty laughter had long since disappeared. He couldn't tolerate such terrible things happening. He would rather sacrifice himself than let others die.

"Can I say something?"

Mitsuri Kanroji said, mustering her courage.

As she spoke, a layer of light pink blush covered her cheek.

Seeing everyone's gaze suddenly turn towards her.

The blush on Mitsuri Kanroji's face deepened. She cupped her hands under her chin and said shyly: "I want to paint a flower blue, and then tell him this is the Blue Spider Lily. This way, he will stop his operations and we can also lure him out."

"Good idea! How come I don't see your head being this smart usually?" Shinobu Kocho said curiously, patting Mitsuri Kanroji's head.

"No way, I've always been very smart, okay?"

"Will Muzan fall for it? Besides, he might not come himself. Perhaps he'll send an Upper Rank to meet us." Sanemi Shinazugawa, who was standing nearby, raised a question.

"He definitely will."

Tamayo said.

"He doesn't trust anyone, including his Twelve Kizuki. So he will definitely meet us, but he might be in disguise."

"In that case, let's do as Mitsuri says. As long as we can end this disaster, I can pay any price."

A firm belief appeared on Kyojuro Rengoku's face. His golden hair was exceptionally dazzling under the sunlight.

"Hmm, this matter carries a high risk. Before that, it would be best to improve your strength... Mr. Xia Shang, may I ask if the pattern on your jaw is a Mark?" Kagaya Ubuyashiki said softly.
