Mei quickly arrived at the location Longli had mentioned.
However, when he arrived, he saw Haruyu already severely injured, fleeing in terror. Pursuing her were two demon slayers, wielding Nichirin swords, their faces filled with murderous intent and hostility.
With a whoosh, Mei acted without hesitation, a ribbon swiftly descending to block the path of the two Demon Slayer Corps members. The two members were forced to stop and warily look ahead.
"Lord Mei!" Chunyou's eyes lit up with surprise, as if he had grasped a lifeline.
Mei looked at the spring outing with disdain and sneered, "Idiot, they're just two humans, and they've scared you like this? You've completely disgraced Lord Ryuri!"
Because Chunyou was not good at fighting, she felt extremely ashamed after hearing Mei's rebuke and lowered her head.
Just then, Gyutaro's voice came from behind Ume: "Ume, let's finish this quickly. I have a feeling something's off about the smell in this place."
Mei nodded.
"I see."
Her opponents were just two ordinary members of the Demon Slayer Corps, and she could easily deal with them now that she was serious. With her brother Gyutaro secretly helping her, the fate of these two Demon Slayer Corps members was already sealed at this moment.
The two Demon Slayer Corps members seemed to sense that the newly appeared demon was not simple, so they did not attack rashly and stood guard in place.
But behind them, where they couldn't see, the ribbon, like a swimming dragon, had already quietly arrived.
"not good!"
"careful!"
"Ah!" Two members of the Demon Slayer Corps suddenly exclaimed, because they sensed a dangerous aura approaching from behind.
One of them quickly turned around and slashed backward with his Nichirin Blade, but surprisingly, the ribbon could not be cut by their Nichirin Blade.
Just then, Mei rushed over like lightning, her speed astonishing.
Her hands gripped their necks tightly, like iron clamps.
"It's over," Mei said calmly, as if everything was under her control.
Then, she was about to snap the necks of these two poor humans.
However, at this critical moment, "Ara ara!"
Suddenly, a strange sound came from the side. "Hmm?" Mei frowned, a hint of doubt and wariness flashing in her eyes.
But her hands did not stop moving at all; instead, she more decisively snapped the necks of the two humans.
With two crisp cracking sounds, the lives of those two unfortunate men came to an end.
"Who's there!" Mei's voice was icy cold and filled with murderous intent.
Her sharp gaze swept into the darkness, trying to find the person who had made the strange sound.
At the same time, her body tensed slightly, ready to deal with any possible enemies.
"What a beautiful girl." A stunning figure slowly emerged from the darkness. Her figure was graceful and her steps light and elegant, like a butterfly fluttering in the air. The words "waning crescent" and "one" were clearly etched in her bright eyes, making her particularly eye-catching.
The one that appeared was none other than the Lower Moon One, the Ubume!
The person on the spring outing sitting some distance away immediately covered their mouth in surprise: "Ah, it's Lower Moon One!"
A faint smile appeared on Guhuoniao's face. She was used to seeing such a weak little devil. Even when she saw Lower Moon One, she showed a shocked and frightened expression.
There was no way around it; when the Upper Moon demons weren't around, her status as Lower Moon One was practically the pinnacle of all demons.
"The next string one?"
Mei raised an eyebrow: "What are you doing here?"
A hint of wariness flickered in her eyes; after all, even ghosts don't always coexist peacefully.
More often than not, ghosts are like wild beasts, each with its own territory, and anyone who trespasses into another's territory is considered to be provoking them.
"Oh dear, of course we're out to see the scenery."
The Guhuoniao looked at Mei with the same eyes she would use to look at prey. She licked her lips, feeling a flutter in her heart. She never expected to meet such a beautiful girl just by casually strolling around at night.
Such a beautiful girl, her screams must be very beautiful, right?
It's a pity she became a demon, but even if she suffers severe injuries, she won't die after becoming a demon, which can be considered as making up for the fact that she wasn't human.
The Guhuoniao squinted its eyes: "This pretty young lady, would you be interested in coming to my house for a visit?"
"Not interested."
Mei said calmly, "Also, put away your low-class Blood Demon Technique. It's really useless."
"Oops, have we been found out?"
The Guhuoniao's smile widened, showing no sign of embarrassment at being discovered.
"Hey, how long are you going to keep dawdling?"
A sound suddenly came from the trees in the distance.
A figure stood on a tree branch, coldly watching the Guhuoniao.
Mei looked in the direction of the sound, and her expression immediately changed. Lower Moon Three?
Is there another lower moon?
What's going on today? Why are they all gathered together when the crescent moon is down?
And why did they all come here?
"Please wait a moment, I'm quite interested in this pretty young lady."
Bingye's face showed impatience: "Hurry up, it's just a mere brat. I need to hurry up and find Lower Moon Two for a bloody battle!"
"Alright, alright, don't rush me." Guhuoniao smiled and said, "Or if you're really in a hurry, you can go by yourself now."
Bingye snorted coldly: "If I knew where that guy was, would I need to look for you!"
"As I said, I'm not sure exactly where Longli is, but I'm certain she's active in this area."
The Guhuoniao said calmly, "Don't worry, I will help you find him."
"That's good."
Bingye crossed his arms, his tone calm, but his eyes held a chilling glint, as if he harbored some kind of hatred for the name Lower Moon Two.
"etc?"
Mei suddenly widened her eyes, thinking she was hallucinating: "Who did you just say? Who are you going to have a positional bloodbath with?"
"Um?"
The diseased leaf and the guhuoniao both looked over at the same time.
"Lower Moon Two, what's wrong? Do you know him?" Byakuya asked.
"I know it very well!"
Mei's grin stretched from ear to ear: "You should have said you were coming to see him earlier!"
Both the Guhuoniao and the sick leaf frowned: "What do you mean?"
Mei laughed: "If you had said so earlier, I would have killed you sooner!"
