Muzan let out a heavy, cold snort, and in an instant, the entire Infinity Castle was enveloped by the pressure he released. All the Upper Moons felt as if they weighed ten thousand pounds, and were pressed to the ground, unable to move.
"I don't have much patience left with you."
Muzan's gaze grew cold: "If you can't find the Blue Spider Lily and the Ubuyashiki, then you have no reason to exist."
"Yes, I will definitely try my best to find it." Half-Heaven Dog lay on the ground, trembling.
"I'm truly sorry for my abilities. Why don't you take my eyeballs?" Douma said.
"What use would I have for your eyeballs?" A cross-shaped vein began to bulge on Muzan's forehead. "Do you think your eyeballs can help me overcome sunlight?"
The next moment, Douma's entire head exploded!
His headless corpse swayed, and he hurriedly tried to stop his body from regenerating.
Akaza breathed a sigh of relief. Great, that annoying guy is finally quiet.
Suddenly, the whole world felt beautiful, and the air around me felt clearer.
"Yowazusa".
Muzan looked over, his icy gaze seemingly able to pierce through one's soul.
Akaza couldn't help but shiver, but he still braced himself and met Muzan's gaze.
"I've always had high hopes for you; I think you're the most capable of all the Upper Moons..."
Akaza's mouth dropped open upon hearing this. Logically, he should have been happy, but his instincts told him that Lord Muzan might have more to say.
As expected, Muzan's voice rang out again: "But..."
Akaza's heart leaped into his throat; he knew that what followed that "but" was definitely not a good thing.
"You really disappoint me. If I'm not mistaken, it's been five years since you last killed a Pillar, hasn't it? It's one thing to not be able to find the Blue Spider Lily and the location of Ubuyashiki, but you can't even do something as simple as killing a Pillar-level Demon Slayer?" Muzan's tone grew colder, like a chilling wind from hell, sending shivers down one's spine.
Akaza quickly buried his head deep, not daring to meet Muzan's gaze.
He felt an immense pressure enveloping him, making it almost impossible for him to breathe.
"I'm so sorry, Lord Muzan! Those Pillar-level Demon Slayers are just too good at hiding. I've done my best to find them," Akaza tried to explain himself.
"Don't make excuses for your incompetence."
Muzan's pupils contracted, and the next moment, half of Akaza's body exploded.
Akaza didn't make a sound, as if it wasn't his own body that exploded. He knelt there, cold sweat dripping from his forehead: "I will kill all the Pillar-level Demon Slayers, please don't be angry."
"Is my anger because you didn't kill the Pillar-level Demon Slayer?"
Why would you think that way? Isn't my anger because you guys are so useless?
Furthermore, isn't killing Pillar-level demon slayers what the Upper Moons are supposed to do? Why do you think this is your mission?
"Each of you has been a ghost for hundreds of years, yet why are you still inferior to a child who has just become a ghost!"
At this moment, all the Upper Moons unconsciously turned their gazes toward Ryuri, who was standing next to Muzan.
Including the headless doma.
"This brat…" Yu Hu's eyes were very unfriendly.
"You seem quite dissatisfied with me." Longli looked calmly at Yuhu.
"Well..."
Yu Hu was taken aback, seemingly not expecting Long Li to question him directly. But then he couldn't help but feel secretly pleased. Hehe, this brat is doomed. He dared to interrupt when Muzan was speaking. Doesn't he know what the consequences of doing so are?
But after waiting for a few seconds, Muzan didn't make any move. Muzan just stood there quietly, looking at Ryuri with a satisfied yet slightly doting gaze.
Rather than watching those Upper Moons that only anger him, he prefers the Little Dragons.
This time, not only Yu Hu, but also the other upper moons noticed something was wrong.
It seems that Lord Muzan has a different attitude towards this newly promoted Upper Moon.
Doma's headless corpse tilted to one side, looking very puzzled. He wondered why, even though they were both Upper Moons, their treatment was so different.
"Of course, Lord Muzan won't punish me; he'll only punish you incompetent Upper Moons." Ryuri stood on high, his face full of sarcasm.
He can tell what these Upper Moons are thinking with just one glance.
Muzan narrowed his eyes slightly, now looking at Ryuu with even greater satisfaction.
"What, what did you say!"
Yu Hu frowned. It was one thing for Muzan to admit his incompetence, but he wouldn't allow other Upper Moons to insult him, especially a new Upper Moon Six!
"It's one thing that your mouth is on top of your eyes, but don't you even have ears? Ugly thing."
"What did you say!"
Yu Hu hated nothing more than people saying his pot was ugly, and secondly, that he was ugly himself. He immediately flew into a rage: "You brat, you're asking for it! Dare to say that again!"
His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
"Jade Pot, are you pretending I don't exist?"
Muzan's cold voice rang in Gyokuko's ears. The next moment, Gyokuko felt dizzy and his head appeared directly in Muzan's hand, held upside down by Muzan.
Muzan's crimson pupils stared at the jade pot: "Say it again, what are you going to do?"
"I... I won't do anything, Lord Muzan. You've misunderstood me. I really didn't mean to do anything..." Cold sweat dripped from Gyokuko's head like rain.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Muzan sent Gyokuko's head bobbing around in the Infinity Castle like a ball.
But he gritted his teeth and dared not utter a sound.
Muzan turned around and patted Ryuri's head: "Ryuri, see you next time."
The next moment, with the sound of Nakime's biwa, Muzan disappeared from the Infinity Castle.
It was as if he had summoned all the Upper Moons today just to announce that Ryuri had become an Upper Moon, and then to give them a good scolding.
Lord Muzan has left again.
Doma's head regenerated instantly, Akaza's body recovered in the same way, and Gyokko's head stumbled and found its way back to its body, holding its head and bumping it against the body.
No one spoke, not even Doma, who was usually the most annoying and fearless.
"Please escort me back to my residence."
Kokushibo's deep voice rang out.
Nakime didn't respond, but simply played the biwa once, and the next moment Kokushibo also left the Infinity Castle.
With the departure of the first Upper Moon demon, the tense atmosphere in the Infinity Castle seemed to dissipate considerably.
"Um, young man."
Doma looked at Ryuri with a grin: "Do you want to come to my house to play? My house is very big, and there are lots of fun things there."
He's like a big bad wolf trying to kidnap Little Red Riding Hood.
