Chapter 59: Intelligence

Four of the five pillars fell.
After Aoki landed, he looked at the only girl who was still standing. Kanae looked serious and took a defensive posture.
Aoki smiled.
"Let's stop here today!"
Kanae was stunned and slowly put away her long sword.
She still had the strength to fight, but there was no need to continue.
This was not a life-and-death battle.
The other pillars stood up one after another, their faces were very ugly.
Their injuries were not serious; strictly speaking, they had not completely lost their combat effectiveness.
However, everyone knew that this was the result of "Aomura" showing mercy.
If it was a life-and-death battle, even if they could burst out with greater potential, at least half of them would have to die.
Five to one, lost.
And the loss was so tragic.
This was simply a slap in the face.
Aoki looked calm.
When he found that he was extremely restrained by Gyomei, he had already expected this result.
Kokushibo faced Gyomei with sets of equipment, a sword , and transparent world, plus two sets of equipment and a sword, and briefly entered the transparent world, plus Sanemi, and Genya, who played a miraculous role.
In the end, he still killed Genya, and forced Sanemi and Gyomei into desperate situations many times.
He was facing only five pillars, not a life-and-death battle. The strongest among them was severely restrained by himself. In this situation, he couldn't win easily, so he might as well find a piece of tofu to kill himself.
Tap, tap, tap.
Kagaya walked over with the support of Amane.
His expression was still calm, as if he had not been hit, and he spoke gently.
"Mr. Aomura, how does the strength of the upper moons compare to yours?"
Aoki had thought about this question a long time ago: "My current strength should be similar to that of the upper moons!"
Kanae cheered up and asked: "Mr. Aomura, how do you think our strength compares to the upper moons?"
Aoki said: "One-on-one, you are no match for any upper moon!"
The pillars were silent.
They were all extremely confident people and naturally did not want to accept this evaluation, but with such a tragic record just now, they had no confidence to refute it at all.
Kanae had personally fought with the upper moons and had a deeper understanding of their strength than others, and was more accepting of this answer.
"Then, what about Muzan Kibutsuji?"
All of a sudden, everyone forgot other questions and looked at Aoki with burning eyes.
Whether it was face or confidence, everything was not worth mentioning in front of the name "Muzan Kibutsuji."
Even Ubuyashiki Kagaya showed an expectant look.
Although they regarded Muzan Kibutsuji as their mortal enemy, they knew very little about him.
Any bit of information was invaluable.
"Muzan Kibutsuji?"
Aoki smiled and said, "If you all attack together, Muzan Kibutsuji will not even need one-tenth of his strength to easily defeat you!"
He did not know how strong Muzan Kibutsuji was.
Anyway, after aging for thousands of years, Muzan could still beat almost all the pillars with Ninchirin swords to the point of death in an extremely short period of time.
Now, even if these pillars attack together, they cannot pose any threat to Muzan Kibutsuji.
Everyone fell into a deeper silence, and the yard became so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.
After a while.
Kagaya was the first to recover, his tone calm and firm: "I didn't expect the gap to be so big, but I believe that as long as we keep working hard, one day, we will definitely defeat Muzan Kibutsuji!"
"That's right, Muzan must die!" Aoki nodded, his tone full of murderous intent.
Kagaya smiled: "Mr. Aomura, we have a common goal and should help each other."
"Of course."
Aoki responded readily.
This was originally his purpose; there was nothing to hesitate about.
The pillars were silent, no one spoke up to object, obviously they had discussed this issue and reached a consensus.
Aoki also found that after the competition, the hostility of these pillars towards him suddenly decreased a lot.
Is this considered a fight without acquaintance?
Nothing is more convincing than facts.
If he really had bad intentions, the Demon Slayer Corps would have suffered heavy casualties, especially Ubuyashiki Kagaya, who would have died long ago.
Afterwards, Aoki and Ubuyashiki Kagaya discussed the details of the cooperation.
The main thing is that the Demon Slayer Corps provides intelligence, and Aoki is responsible for processing it. He is considered a special non-staff member of the Demon Slayer Corps.
Aoki also shared some of the information he had with them.
"Regarding the second upper moon, he is the founder of the Eternal Paradise, which is a small church with only about 250 followers…"
The pillars all showed great interest.
Although "Aomura" said that they are not the opponent of the upper moon in a one-on-one fight, it doesn't matter. If they can't beat them in a one-on-one fight, they can just fight in a group.
There is no need to talk about martial ethics with demons.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya said: "Eternal Paradise? Okay, this is a very important clue. We will start an investigation immediately. When we have news, we will notify Mr. Aomura immediately."
Aoki nodded with satisfaction.
With the help of the Demon Slayer Corps' intelligence system, he can find prey for himself. This was the purpose of his trip.
Ubuyashiki Kagaya asked: "Anything else, Mr. Aomura?"
Aoki thought for a moment and said, "There is another private matter. I would like to ask the Demon Slayer Corps to help me find a charcoal boy named Tanjiro Kamado.
He is about 12 years old this year, with dark red hair and red eyes, a scar on the left forehead, and always wears a green Ichimatsu pattern feather webbing."
The power of the Demon Slayer Corps should not be wasted.
He is not afraid of the Demon Slayer Corps finding out anything.
Now Tanjiro is just an ordinary charcoal boy. Who would have thought that he has the strongest talent for being a demon, has seen blue spider lilies, and has mastered the breathing of the sun?
Kagaya asked: "Tanjiro Kamado? Mr. Aomura, is he your relative?"
Several pillars also quietly pricked up their ears.
They know a lot about what happened after "Aomura" became a demon, but they know nothing about his identity before his death.
This may be an opportunity to understand him.
Aoki shook his head: "No! I just want to find him to inquire about something."
Everyone knew that there was something strange about this, but now the two sides are in a cooperative relationship. "Aomura" is unwilling to say, and they can't force it.
But it doesn't matter.
If they can find the boy named Tanjiro Kamado, they can investigate first.
This wasn't a violation of the agreement.
"Tanjiro's family lives in the mountains and makes a living by burning and selling charcoal. He is the eldest son in the family, and has five younger brothers and sisters. His father may have passed away…"
Aoki briefly introduced Tanjiro's situation, and finally looked at Giyuu: "Tanjiro's family may be in the area you are responsible for!"
Tomioka Giyuu was stunned and nodded silently: "Okay!"
