Long before Nishijo Ichiro entered the world of "Demon Slayer,"
he had sought information about this world.
Finally, after paying a hefty price,
he learned from a seasoned veteran 轮回者.
He learned the best way to clear the "Demon Slayer" world.
That was, to directly go to Muzan and become a demon.
In this way, he could easily survive for a year in this world.
Unless he was incredibly unlucky and ran into a Demon Slayer Corps siege.
Otherwise, hiding in a place would be perfectly safe.
Furthermore, the mission to kill three demons.
Could also be easily accomplished.
After all, why not kill a couple of lesser demons when you're an Upper Moon demon?
Even if Muzan knew, he wouldn't say anything.
Just dogs biting dogs.
He didn't care.
It can be said that this strategy could indeed increase the success rate of clearing the "Demon Slayer" world.
To about seventy to eighty percent.
The remaining twenty to thirty percent was either bad luck and running into a Demon Slayer Corps siege.
Or being killed by Muzan before becoming a demon.
It could be said that this was practically a foolproof guide.
The only problem.
Was probably the weakness of being a "demon."
After all, the fear of sunlight was a bit too fatal.
Fortunately, by paying enough "Reincarnation Contribution Points," this negative effect could be removed.
At that time, he could gain the powerful physique of a "demon."
And not be limited by the weaknesses of a "demon."
A total win.
Anyway, Nishijo Ichiro thought he had this in the bag.
So, back then.
When he saw Bai Chuan leaving the main group with Kashiwazaki Shiori.
He scoffed.
He thought Bai Chuan was doomed.
After all, Bai Chuan couldn't possibly understand Demon Slayer better than him, right?
But now.
Nishijo Ichiro suddenly realized.
That he was the clown.
..
Actually, Nishijo Ichiro didn't know.
His strategy was true.
In fact, becoming a demon first and then clearing "Demon Slayer" is the best approach.
Because not every 轮回者.
Is Bai Chuan.
Has such a powerful talent as "Omniscient and Omnipotent."
Within a year.
Let alone whether they could learn the Hinokami Kagura.
Even if they did, how much combat power would they have?
Breathing Techniques grow stronger over time.
And 轮回者 lack time the most.
Therefore.
Compared to slowly cultivating and comprehending.
Taking the shortcut is more suitable for 轮回者.
Bai Chuan is just a special case.
It's only because he has the powerful talent of "Omniscient and Omnipotent."
That he could do this.
Other 轮回者.
How could they achieve such a thing?
Even Bai Chuan.
If he didn't have the powerful talent of "Omniscient and Omnipotent."
Even though he knew the plot.
He would most likely have made the same choice as Nishijo Ichiro.
To become a demon.
.....
"We can't refuse the orders of that great being."
"So, we must carry out this mission."
"Bai Chuan must die. He is no longer one of us!"
After suppressing the complicated thoughts in his heart.
Nishijo Ichiro spoke to the other 轮回者.
It was too late to regret.
Becoming a "demon" was a fact.
And they couldn't refuse Muzan's orders.
Under these circumstances, they and Bai Chuan were destined to be enemies.
The kind that wouldn't end until one of them was dead.
If they didn't kill Bai Chuan.
Muzan wouldn't let them live.
This didn't need to be explained fully by Nishijo Ichiro.
Everyone else knew.
"At this point, we have no choice."
"Besides, it's just killing someone."
"Haven't we killed enough people this time?"
A new 轮回者, like Bai Chuan.
Nishiye Qiong said.
Before entering the Reincarnation Space.
These people were actually ordinary citizens.
Usually, they wouldn't even kill a chicken.
But after entering the Reincarnation Space.
Especially after entering the "Demon Slayer" world.
These people had either actively or passively.
Killed a lot of people.
Even some were quite twisted.
They even ate quite a few people.
Under these circumstances, they certainly wouldn't.
Talk about any kind of sentiment with Bai Chuan.
In this life-or-death situation.
It's better for you to die.
"Let's get ready, we need to leave immediately."
"Sigh, I wonder how much benefit that guy got in this world."
"I'm really not sure if we can beat him."
Nishijo Ichiro said with a sigh.
.....
While Nishijo Ichiro and his group.
Were planning to ambush and kill Bai Chuan.
In Bai Chuan's courtyard.
Kocho Shinobu had already prostrated herself before Bai Chuan countless times.
"Please, Bai Chuan-sama, teach us the Hinokami Kagura!"
"Over the years, we have lost countless warriors in our fight against the Demon King, Muzan."
"But we still haven't seen any hope."
"If we could get the Hinokami Kagura, we would definitely be able to win."
"Therefore, I beg you!"
It wasn't just Kocho Shinobu.
The other two, the Love Hashira and the Stone Hashira.
Also prostrated themselves, kneeling before Bai Chuan.
They just wanted Bai Chuan to pass down the Hinokami Kagura.
Faced with these requests, Bai Chuan thought for a moment, then said, "I can teach you."
"But I have one condition."
For Bai Chuan.
The Hinokami Kagura was not valuable.
He learned it after just one glance.
With the talent of "Omniscient and Omnipotent."
What Breathing Technique couldn't he get his hands on?
There was no need to cling to the Hinokami Kagura.
However, being willing to part with something is one thing.
Giving it away for free is another.
Bai Chuan didn't owe the Demon Slayer Corps anything.
Without paying a certain price.
Why should Bai Chuan give the Demon Slayer Corps a discount?
Facing Bai Chuan's words.
Kocho Shinobu and the others exchanged glances.
Then they bowed their heads again and said, "Please tell us your condition, Bai Chuan-sama."
"As long as it's not too unreasonable, we are willing to agree."
They had already anticipated Bai Chuan's conditions.
The Demon Slayer Corps' leader had even given Kocho Shinobu considerable authority.
Even if Bai Chuan wanted to claim the world for himself.
The Demon Slayer Corps would be willing to assist.
But if Bai Chuan's conditions were too outrageous.
That would be a different story.
Fortunately, Bai Chuan himself wasn't someone who would make unreasonable demands.
His conditions, naturally, wouldn't be outrageous.
"My condition is actually quite simple."
"I want all the Breathing Techniques that your Demon Slayer Corps has mastered!"
Bai Chuan said calmly.
