Chapter 503

It wasn't that Sanemi Shinazugawa was stealing Tengen Uzui's lines; it was simply his true inner voice.

He had seen all kinds of Breathing Styles, but he had never seen a swordsmanship that could unleash ten different Breathing Styles in a single strike.

The ten Hashira stared blankly at Lin Ye. Now they believed Lin Ye was not a villain. After all, with Lin Ye's strength, if he really wanted to do evil, they wouldn't be able to stop him.

"Put down your weapons, everyone. Mr. Lin Ye is not our enemy."

A gentle man's voice came from the room, and then, a man in white robes walked out.

The man was clearly still young, yet he gave off the feeling of someone on the verge of death. His face was obscured by pale purple veins.

Seeing the man walk out, the ten Hashira bowed slightly and cleared a path for him.

Kagaya Ubuyashiki, the current head of the Demon Slayer Corps. He and Muzan were actually of the same clan. Because Muzan became a demon, the entire Ubuyashiki clan was cursed, born weak and unable to live past thirty.

"Master." Sanemi Shinazugawa, who had been so aggressive just a moment ago, instantly became a well-behaved child. Beside him, Shinobu Kocho looked at Kagaya Ubuyashiki with curiosity and asked,

"Master, do you know this Mr. Lin Ye?"

"Of course." Kagaya Ubuyashiki nodded. He first bowed slightly to Lin Ye to show respect, then said to those around him, "You are still young. I once heard Senior Yoriichi speak of things from hundreds of years ago. In Yoriichi Tsugikuni's words, Mr. Lin Ye is a figure like a true god; even Senior Yoriichi was able to live forever because of Mr. Lin Ye."

What?

Hearing Kagaya Ubuyashiki say this, everyone's gaze toward Lin Ye changed.

Sanemi Shinazugawa: "This is the legendary Lord Lin Ye! No wonder his strength is so terrifying!"

Mitsuri Kanroji: "Ah, is this Lord Lin Ye? As expected, he's both handsome and powerful."

Seeing the looks from everyone, Lin Ye nodded to them and said, "So, where is Yoriichi? Where did he go?"

Kagaya Ubuyashiki sighed helplessly. "Senior Yoriichi went to kill demons. He always said that you entrusted the matter of dealing with demons to him, but he hasn't fulfilled your request in hundreds of years, and he feels ashamed before you."

"That's not true." Kanae Kocho quickly said, "It's clearly those demons, especially Muzan, who are too cowardly! Hiding for hundreds of years without a trace; Lord Yoriichi has already tried his best."

Lin Ye nodded in understanding. This was how it was in the original timeline after Muzan escaped from Yoriichi Tsugikuni—hiding until Muzan died before showing his face. It seemed this was no exception.

"Alright, you don't need to worry about me. By the way, don't you have matters left to resolve? Continue with that."

Right, hearing this, everyone remembered that the matter of Tanjiro and Nezuko had not been resolved.

So,

Sanemi Shinazugawa cupped his fists: "Master, Mr. Lin Ye, since we already know Nezuko is a demon, I think she should be executed immediately!"

Lin Ye: "I don't care what you think, I only care what I think."

Sanemi Shinazugawa……

He looked at Lin Ye with resentment. If he weren't unable to beat him, he would definitely make him know what the fury of a storm was!

Kyojuro Rengoku also continued: "Tanjiro brought a demon with him without authorization, which violates the Corps rules."

Lin Ye: "Rules are made by people, too. I don't think this is a problem."

Kyojuro Rengoku……

Serpent Hashira: "Anyway, I still can't trust that Nezuko won't hurt people."

Lin Ye: "We cannot convict people for things that haven't happened yet, so I think this is your problem."

The Serpent Hashira rolled his eyes and simply stopped talking.

Watching Lin Ye debate the Hashira, Mitsuri Kanroji giggled secretly. "Mr. Lin Ye is so interesting, he seems like a very kind person too."

Mitsuri Kanroji felt sorry for the siblings, so she was naturally happy that Lin Ye spoke up for them.

"Lord Lin Ye……" Beside her, Tanjiro also looked at Lin Ye with immense gratitude. He knew how unacceptable his and Nezuko's situation was, yet Lin Ye was helping him so much, even though they were complete strangers.

Seeing Lin Ye's "unreasonable" demeanor, everyone knew he wanted to protect the siblings, but leaving a demon to roam outside was still dangerous.

Thus, the stubborn Sanemi Shinazugawa stood up again and said: "Mr. Lin Ye! Since we cannot convince you with words, let me prove it with action!"

After speaking, Sanemi Shinazugawa drew his Nichirin sword again, and then!

Swish!

The next second, a wound appeared on his hand, and blood began to drip!

Enduring the pain, Sanemi Shinazugawa came to the box containing Nezuko and said with his bleeding hand: "Come out, demon! It's time to eat!"

Sanemi Shinazugawa was ready; the moment Nezuko crawled out, he would strike and eliminate this hidden danger. However, at that moment, Lin Ye blocked him and said,

"No, aren't you just afraid she'll hurt people as a demon? In that case, wouldn't it be fine if I just turned her back into a human?"

Everyone was stunned!

Listen to what you're saying! Turning a demon back into a human! How is that any different from a fantasy!

However, no one said anything. After all, Lin Ye was mysterious, and who knew what he was capable of.

Beside them, Tanjiro's eyes shone with excitement. He had spent two and a half years trying to save his sister with no success, and now, Lin Ye was saying he had a way to save her!

Tanjiro didn't speak; he was afraid that if he opened his mouth, he would shatter the dream before him.

At this moment, Sanemi Shinazugawa stepped aside to let Lin Ye reach the box containing Nezuko. Lin Ye looked at the box and said to Nezuko in a gentle voice,

"Being a demon must be very painful. In that case, let me set you free. Come out, Nezuko. Hmm? Nezuko, why aren't you coming out? Are you afraid?"

Hearing Lin Ye's voice, Mitsuri Kanroji pulled on Lin Ye's sleeve in embarrassment.

"Um... Mr. Lin Ye, it's still daytime. Nezuko... probably won't come out... Should I take her into the house first?"

Ah? Lin Ye was also stunned. He had truly forgotten that it was daytime. After all, Lin Ye knew that Nezuko was actually not afraid of sunlight.

Watching Mitsuri Kanroji prepare to take Nezuko's box into the house, Lin Ye smiled and shook his head.

"No need for such trouble. It's just daytime, right? Wouldn't it be fine if I just let the sun set?"

Hmm???

Instantly, everyone fell silent again. Is this Mr. Lin Ye sure he isn't a madman? Twelve o'clock at noon, and he wants the sun to set? How is that possi... Damn it!!

The next second, everyone was rooted to the spot, because they saw Lin Ye snap his fingers, and the warm sunlight from just a moment ago was truly gone!

Twelve o'clock at noon!! The sun had set!
