Longli controlled his body and landed steadily on a platform.
Just then, he heard Mei's panicked voice coming from above.
"Lord Ryuri, save me!!!"
A platform suddenly floated up and caught Mei as she fell.
Sitting on the platform, Mei wiped the sweat from her brow: "That was close! I almost thought I was going to fall to my death!"
"Lord Longli?"
She looked at Ryuri, who was standing in front of her with his back to her.
"Kneel down, Mei."
Long Li said without turning his head.
Although she didn't understand why, Mei instinctively obeyed Longli's order and knelt down on one knee.
She raised her head and secretly looked at Lord Ryuri, only to find that he was kneeling there just like her, seemingly looking up at something.
She looked up and glanced up secretly, and suddenly saw a woman in a kimono standing on the platform above!
Even though she had never seen her before, just one glance at the blood in her veins made her tremble. Her instincts told her that this was the "master" that Lord Longli had mentioned!
Mei's forehead was covered in cold sweat without her realizing it. She quickly lowered her head, not daring to look at it again.
That's terrifying!
That momentum.
If it weren't for Lord Ryuri being right in front of her, she really wouldn't have had the courage to kneel here!
"Longli, did you bring this little guy?"
Kibu Muzan's gaze fell on Mei. Feeling the icy chill emanating from her, Mei tensed up, not daring to move.
"Yes, Lord Muzan."
Ryuri smiled and said, "These are the new subordinates I've recruited for you. The other Lower Moon demons are too weak, so I wanted to find some stronger demons to help you."
In fact, Longli didn't know why Mei had followed him down, but that didn't stop him from saying what he wanted to say.
Muzan said calmly, "Since you're the one who collected this ghost, then you can keep it yourself."
How could Muzan not see through Ryuri's thoughts? In fact, Muzan had been watching everything Ryuri had done over the years, including Mei in front of him.
You say you're finding subordinates for yourself, but it's more like you're finding family members for yourself.
"But you're right, the Lower Moons are indeed too weak."
Muzan's body slowly descended: "Even though you've been a Lower Moon for the shortest time, your strength is already far ahead of the other Lower Moons."
"Ryūri, you did a really good job."
Muzan landed in front of Ryuri, stroked Ryuri's white hair, and smiled: "You have never disappointed me."
Two years ago, he only told Ryuri to work hard to become stronger, and Ryuri really worked very hard. Now his strength has surpassed all the Lower Moons.
"Ryūri, become an Upper Moon."
boom!
A roar echoed in Long Li's mind, his brain went blank, Upper... Upper Moon?
His body trembled with excitement. Upper Moon, that was the goal he had been pursuing all along. For the past two years, he had been hunting Pillars to hone his strength and become an Upper Moon as soon as possible!
"Lord Muzan...Is my strength really enough?"
"certainly."
Muzan smiled and said, "Your strength is already more than enough."
She affectionately patted Ryuri's head, then said without turning her head, "Naruki."
"yes."
Behind him, Nakime plucked the pipa in her hand. The next moment, Ryu suddenly felt several powerful auras descend upon Infinite Castle. At the same time, he also smelled a familiar scent.
Hiding inside Mei's body, Gyutaro suddenly felt his body becoming restless and uneasy, as if his body was sending out dangerous warning signals!
...
"Is this...the Infinite Castle?"
Akaza, the third Upper Moon demon, frowned as a pot suddenly and strangely appeared in front of him.
Immediately afterwards, a monster that looked like a magic lamp, but was also extremely ugly, emerged from the pot.
"Oh my, isn't this Lord Akaza? It's been over a hundred years since we last met. It's such a shame to see you still alive... Well, this is wonderful."
Akaza remained expressionless, his gaze fixed elsewhere.
A man with boils on his head huddled in a corner, trembling, muttering "So scary, so scary."
"It's terrifying. Every time we meet, Yu Hu doesn't count the time, even though it's been two hundred years since we last met."
Akaza ignored them: "Nakome, where is Upper Moon One?"
Nakime did not answer, and at that moment, one of the lights in the Infinity Castle suddenly went out.
"Oh dear, Akaza-sama, it's been so long! Seriously, don't you care about me at all? You're really making me very sad!"
As soon as he finished speaking, that aura that Akaza found extremely annoying suddenly appeared behind him.
Upper Moon Two, Doma, placed his hand on Akaza's shoulder: "After all, I've always missed Lord Akaza. We're all important comrades, and there are only a few of us Upper Moons. The death of any one of us would be a huge loss, and I don't want anything to happen to anyone."
Upper Moon Two revealed a smug expression, and as he spoke, his hand had already gripped Akaza's shoulder tightly.
"Master Tongmo."
The jade pot in the distance spoke.
"Oh my, isn't this a jade pot? Is this your new pot? It's so beautiful! By the way, could you send me a few more pots? I recently had an idea for a new art form, and I think your pots would be perfect for it."
Yu Hu excitedly replied, "Really? Of course, if you like!"
Doma was talking to Gyokko, but his hand remained on Akaza's shoulder the whole time.
Akaza's forehead veins bulged at a cross shape: "Take it away."
"Um?"
Doma seemed not to have heard clearly and curiously leaned closer.
I said take your hand away!
Pfft!
Before Akaza could finish speaking, he suddenly raised his hand, and half of Doma's face disappeared under Akaza's punch.
"ah!!"
Upper Moon Four, Hantengu, was so terrified by what he saw that he covered his head in fear: "This is horrible! Every time we meet, we have to fight. When will this ever end?!"
Doma's jaw returned to normal in an instant. There was no anger on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "That was a good punch, but if that's all Lord Akaza has to offer, it's not enough to become Upper Moon Two."
Akaza clenched his fists even tighter.
"Akaza, Lord Muzan has arrived. Do not be rude."
A voice suddenly rang out from behind Akaza, and a figure appeared behind him without him noticing. Akaza's hair stood on end!
when!
The demon that suddenly appeared was none other than Upper Moon One, whom Akaza had been searching for. Upper Moon One ignored the others and bowed slightly towards the platform at the top: "Please forgive me for not being able to pay my respects in time."
