Under Chen Anxia's gaze, Makomo and Sabito bowed to him.
Chen Anxia knew that this was their way of expressing their gratitude.
Chen Anxia smiled slightly and nodded gently in response to their thanks.
Then, a thick fog suddenly appeared, and Chen Anxia saw Makomo, Sabito, and other disciples of Urokodaki Sakonji walk into the fog and disappear.
The moment they disappeared, the sudden fog also vanished, and no matter how hard Chen Anxia tried to see and search, he couldn't find a trace of them.
However, Chen Anxia knew that Makomo and Sabito had not left Mount Sagiri, but would stay here and stay by their beloved teacher's side.
Thinking about it, Chen Anxia couldn't help but look up at the sky, at the clear blue sky and the blazing sun hanging in the air. It seemed as if he was enjoying this moment of peace, but through this peace, he saw the sickness of this world and the misery of humankind.
Finally, Chen Anxia sighed heavily, his deep eyes revealing unwavering determination.
Chen Anxia is powerless to change the past of humanity in this world.
Chen Anxia can only try his best to change the present state of humanity.
Because Chen Anxia was overwhelmed with other matters, he was simply unable to stop the tragedies that were happening in every corner of the world.
But Chen Anxia believes he can change the future of this world.
This has nothing to do with being a saint or not, nor with any world mission; it's simply because Chen Anxia is human, and because Chen Anxia doesn't want to see those tragedies happen again.
Human beings are such a magical species; in the face of danger, there will always be people who stand up and use their courage and passion to compose splendid songs.
Just like the saying goes, there's no such thing as a peaceful and carefree life in this world; it's just that someone is bearing the burden for you in the darkness...
As night quietly fell, the dim candlelight became the only light in the small wooden cabin at the foot of Misty Mountain, illuminating the dark and quiet night.
Suddenly, a loud roar shattered the silence of the night.
"Mr. Urokodaki, watch out!!"
Tanjiro Kamado, whose heart was still heavy with worry, did nothing more than let out this loud roar the first thing he did upon waking from his coma.
Immediately, Tanjiro Kamado leaped off the bed, his hand instinctively reaching for his Nichirin Blade at his waist.
Just then, a voice that Kamado Tanjiro knew very well rang out, saying, "Tanjiro, how many times have I taught you to stay calm in the face of danger? What kind of behavior is this, shouting like this in the middle of the night?"
"Wow! Wow!"
At that moment, the sound of a baby crying rang out.
"Look, you woke up Weiyang too!"
That familiar voice rang out again.
All of this left Tanjiro Kamado somewhat bewildered, and he instinctively looked in the direction of the sound.
Upon looking, Tanjiro Kamado saw that Sakonji Urokodaki was no longer wearing the tengu mask, revealing his gentle face.
In his mind, the hideous and ugly face he had seen before losing consciousness, as well as the terrifying scenes, also surfaced at this moment.
Tears welled up in his eyes instantly, and overwhelmed with emotion, Kamado Tanjiro couldn't help but throw himself into Urokodaki Sakonji's arms, sobbing and choking back tears, "Waaah, thank goodness, I'm so glad you're alright!"
Seeing this, Sakonji Urokodaki reached out and gently patted Tanjiro Kamado's back. His already gentle face became even more tender at this moment, and he said softly, "Ah, I'm alright now. I'm so sorry to have worried you."
Chen Anxia watched this scene silently from the side, without disturbing it.
However, when Chen Anxia looked at Urokodaki Sakonji, a hint of sadness would unconsciously flash across her face, and she couldn't help but feel sad and guilty.
Because Chen Anxia knew about Urokodaki Sakonji's life...

Overwhelmed by both grief and joy, Tanjiro Kamado, who had just regained consciousness, quickly fell into a deep sleep.
When Urokodaki Sakon saw this, he wanted to carry Kamado Tanjiro, who was sleeping on his lap, back to bed.
However, Sakonji Urokodaki discovered that he could no longer lift Tanjiro Kamado, who weighed only 120 pounds.
This fact left Urokodaki Sakonji somewhat dazed, completely unprepared for his body to have weakened to this extent.
Just then, a pair of hands reached out and carried Tanjiro Kamado back to bed to sleep.
Seeing this, Urokodaki Sakonji came to his senses and smiled at the owner of his hand, saying, "Anxia, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Chen Anxia, whose back was to Urokodaki Sakonji, replied calmly, "You're welcome."
Kyoko Jikuni, who was kneeling and holding Qian Weiyang in her arms, facing Chen Anxia and no longer needed to sleep, could see the deep sadness hidden beneath Chen Anxia's calm tone.
Especially Chen Anxia's deep eyes, which seemed to speak volumes, conveying countless sorrows.
Kyoko Tsugikuni didn't know what had happened, nor did she know how to comfort Chen Anxia's sorrow. She could only open her mouth as if to say something, but found that she couldn't say anything.
As for Urokodaki Sakonji, he couldn't glean anything from Chen Anxia's calm tone, nor could he discern anything from Chen Anxia's back.
However, Urokodaki Sakonji's extraordinary sense of smell allowed him to detect sadness in Chen Anxia's scent.
Urokodaki Sakon finally understood why Chen Anxia was sad, and also knew his current situation.
Without saying much, Urokodaki Sakonji sighed inwardly and said, 'Anxia, you and Tanjiro are both kind-hearted children...'
'But this kindness might harm you in the future...'
'Just like Makomo, Sabito, and Kanae in the past...'
'But I cannot and should not extinguish your kindness...'
As he thought to himself, Sakonji Urokodaki's expression turned somewhat sorrowful, and he continued, "Because the problem isn't your kindness, but this world..."
Before we knew it, the night had deepened.
But this time, which should have been a time of silence for all things, is the time when a creature called a ghost is active.
On that same night, countless humans encountered ghosts.
Those humans who encountered ghosts endured experiences that were unimaginable in the past that night.
Among them is the fear of death...
There is pain related to the physical body...
There is grief and anger at witnessing the tragic death of one's closest loved one before one's eyes...
There is betrayal from the person you trusted most, disbelief...
There are some for...
Some of these experiences made them grovel and beg, some gave them the last vestiges of courage, some left them utterly despondent and willing to die, and some...
Human tragedies are playing out in every corner of this world.
The most tragic thing is that these human tragedies are known to very few people.
Often, after a tragedy, as time passes, the protagonists of these tragedies are gradually forgotten, or even completely forgotten, until no one remembers them anymore.
For some players, this was also a sleepless night.
Because they encountered ghosts that night and experienced these human tragedies.
They felt fear, regret, anger, and grief...
But no matter how their emotions fluctuated, it was all in vain.
They were powerless to change anything, which made them deeply aware of their own inadequacy and fostered an intense longing for power within them.
Asakusa area.
A player stared at the cannibal before him, his eyes filled with anger, fear, and disbelief.
Just now, his brother actually pushed him out, trying to use his flesh and blood as a shield to stop the cannibal in front of them.
As for his brother, he took the opportunity to flee the place as quickly as possible.
Seeing this, the cannibal revealed a ferocious smile and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't worry, after I eat you, I'll go eat him. None of you will escape."
Upon hearing the cannibal's words, the player suddenly realized what was happening, turned and ran without hesitation, speeding in the direction his brother had fled, screaming in his mind, "No, I can't die, I can't die yet..."
'If I must die, I'll take him with me...'
At this moment, if anyone saw the player's expression, they would surely be startled.
Because this player's expression at this moment was like that of a demon from hell, ferocious and terrifying, and his bloodshot eyes were filled with intense malice towards his brother and even towards the world.
In his view, abandoning his brother deserved to die, as did this dangerous world and the Truth Gate Corporation, which developed this world.
If it weren't for them, he wouldn't have ended up in such a dangerous situation.
At the same time, an intense desire for power welled up within him.
He knew that only immense power could free him from danger, allow him to avenge his brother who had betrayed him, and empower him to fight against this damned world.
Of course, if he has the opportunity to return in the future, he will definitely seek revenge against the Gate of Truth Inc.
However, all of this depends on him surviving beforehand...
As the stench wafted from behind him, the player's already twisted heart gradually turned to despair.
Although he was extremely unwilling and struggled fiercely, the ending of being devoured by the demon seemed to have been predetermined and could not be changed.
In response, he could only roar in despair and hatred, "Even if I die, I will come back and take revenge on this world!!"
Just as the player let out his final roar, a few miles away in a bustling area, a handsome young man with black hair, a tall stature, pale skin, and bright red eyes suddenly stopped.
Then the young man looked at a certain spot with a look of great interest on his face.
Without hesitation, the young man walked directly towards that place.
After turning a corner, the young man disappeared completely.
The moment the young man reappeared, he saw the player being devoured and whose life force was rapidly draining away.
The cannibal that was devouring the player suddenly felt an indescribable fear creeping over it.
This fear seeps into every cell, even into the soul.
This fear also caused the cannibal to stop eating, its entire body humbly prostrating on the ground, trembling with fear.
All of this is because the young man who arrived was none other than the progenitor of demons—Muzan Kibutsuji!
