Dragon Clan: Lu Mingfei Returns from Japan

Chapter 583: Extinct Royal Blood
Uesugi Yue gritted his teeth, secretly cursing the guy in front of him as an old bastard, but he turned around and went to get the boiled egg because he had to ask a favor.

"Sake on the rocks or warm?"

"Heat it up and drink it. We are all old people now, so we should pay attention to our health." Angers said calmly, "Have you heard of the name Uesugi Eriya?"

"What a sudden turn of events." Uesugi Yue put the sake into the stove to heat it up, and rested his hands on the edge of the table. "I don't know. I said I'm no longer a member of the Snake Family, and I haven't paid attention to the affairs of the family for a long time."

"It is said that she is the current head of the Uesugi family, but she is still a little girl who has not yet reached adulthood."

Uesugi Yue shrugged and said, "The Uesugi family has a new head? But to be honest, she should not have much to do with the Uesugi family."

Ange frowned when he heard this: "What do you mean?"

"As the principal of Kassel Academy, you should know that the higher the bloodline of a hybrid, the less likely it is to produce offspring, right?"

"know."

"This is a genetic curse. The more powerful creatures on Earth are, the harder it is to give birth to offspring. A mature female cockroach can hatch 7 eggs every 10-40 days, while a strong elephant can only get pregnant once every 4-6 years. The same is true for hybrids. The higher the bloodline, the harder it is to give birth to offspring. There have been many famous and powerful hybrid families in history, but only one out of a hundred of these families can pass on. Including the family of your good friend Meneck Cassel, it is now extinct."

The moment he heard the name Menech Cassel, Angers' brows twitched slightly, but he immediately regained his composure.

"Are you trying to say that the Uesugi family is also extinct?"

"It should be said that the three inner families are all the same. Although it's not completely extinct, it's almost there."

Uesugi Yue said calmly: "I am no longer a member of the Sheqi Eight Clan, so it is okay for me to tell you this secret. You should know where the bloodline of the Sheqi Eight Clan comes from, right?"

Anger nodded: "I know you are the descendants of the White King, but I have never asked you for the secrets of the White King. First of all, it is useless to ask you. You surrender to the secret party on the surface, but you don't really regard us as fellow travelers in your heart. Secondly, the secrets of the White King are in your hands, and you will not abuse them. Although you are engaged in underworld business, you are still the guardians of order, not destroyers."

"Your purpose is just to make them let down their guard. You can slowly find out the secrets of the White King's bloodline. You were a staff officer in the US Navy, and intelligence work has always been your forte!"

Uesugi Yue sneered: "Now that you know, then this matter is much easier to explain. The Eight Snake Families are actually divided into the Inner Three Families and the Outer Five Families. The number of people in the Inner Three Families is far less than that in the Outer Five Families. But the Inner Three Families are the families that can truly give birth to the emperor. In the legend, their bloodline comes directly from the gift of the White King."

"According to legend, the three priests Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo once served the White King. The three inner families of the Snake Eight Families correspond to the descendants of the three priest families of Amaterasu, Tsukuyomi, and Susanoo?"

"That's right. The Inner Three Families are the purest descendants of the White King among the Eight Families of Sheqi. Only the descendants of the Inner Three Families can breed the bloodline of the Emperor."

"I've known for a long time that all the mixed-race people in Japan are descendants of the White King, but I didn't expect there to be such a secret?" Angé's expression became serious.

"That's normal. Even within the Sheqi Eight Clan, not everyone knows this secret."

Uesugi Yue poured himself a glass of sake, took a sip, and then began to speak.

"In the Inner Three Clan, the birth of a child is often a matter of life and death for the mother. Most of the babies in the Inner Three Clan are freaks. The fetuses are transformed directly into dragons, and they become ghosts in the mother's womb, and they are the most vicious ghosts. Women who are pregnant with ghosts will die of dystocia. This is the fate that the breeding girls have already determined. And maybe only one emperor can be born out of a thousand ghosts. But even though the Inner Three Clan is not short of breeding girls, when it comes to my generation, I am the only one left in the Inner Three Clan.

"Are you the only one left?"

"I was the only one left decades ago." Uesugi Yue said, "I am the last person of the three inner families and the last emperor of the eight snake families."

"But the current head of the Snake Eight Families, Tachibana Masamune, has the surname Tachibana, and the current head of the Minamoto family, Minamoto no Chisei, also has the surname Minamoto." Angé asked.

"Perhaps the people of the Eight Snake Families randomly found a few children from the Five Outer Families to adopt to the Three Inner Families in order to maintain the inheritance, and changed their surnames to Yuan, Ju or Uesugi. But that is fake. The real Three Inner Families are the families that inherit the royal blood. They can change their surnames to Yuan or Uesugi, but they can't inherit the royal blood."

Ange was silent for a moment, then he took out his folding knife and asked, "In other words, as long as you die, the bloodline of the Sheqi Eight Clan will automatically be cut off from you?"

Uesugi Yue was stunned when he saw Ange playing with the folding knife. "Wait a minute! What do you want to say? This is the center of Tokyo and it's still noon! If there is any disorderly behavior, the police will be called at any time!"

But the next moment, he saw Ange pick up a clay pot beside him, pry open the mouth of the pot with a folding knife, and pour the yellow carrot into the small disk: "Don't be nervous. When listening to stories, you always have to order some snacks. After all, we are all friends."

"Does an old fox like you really consider others as friends?" Uesugi Yue rolled his eyes. "This is not 'Chatting 007', and I don't have any stories to tell. But you haven't answered me yet, what did the Snake Eight Clan do to alarm you to come to Japan in person."

Angé finished a mouthful of noodles and said, "The Uesugi Eri I mentioned just now is one of the reasons why I came to Japan. Several of my outstanding students hacked into the headquarters of Genji Heavy Industries and found the information of the head of the Uesugi family from Kaguya-hime's host. It's different from what you said. The head of the Uesugi family is very likely to be an emperor."

Uesugi Yue immediately rejected the idea, saying, "That's impossible! The inheritance of the Uesugi family should have been completely cut off by my generation."

"Or it's a ghost."

Ange shook his head. "I don't have the genetic map of the Eight Snake Clans, so I dare not make any rash assertions. But according to the data, her Word Spirit is 'Word Spirit·Judgment' with sequence number 111. It is one of the hybrids with the highest Word Spirit sequence number we have found so far, even higher than your 'Word Spirit·Black Sun'. Maybe only Menek Cassel's Word Spirit has a higher sequence than hers."

Uesugi Yue was stunned when he heard this. Uesugi Eryi's word spirit was actually judgment?

He frowned in his heart. Modern research has proven that there is not such a strong bond between Word Spirits and bloodlines. People with low bloodlines may also awaken Word Spirits of higher sequence, and conversely, people with high bloodlines may also master Word Spirits with sequence numbers of only 40 or 50.

For example, the legendary dragon slayer Lu Shanyan of the first generation of the Lionheart Society, whose bloodline was S-level, only had the 59th digit of the Word Spirit·Kamaitachi. But this theorem is only applicable to a certain extent. The higher the sequence of the Word Spirit goes, the less reliable this theorem becomes... and the Word Spirit·Judgment with the 111th digit is the strongest non-world-destroying Word Spirit of the White King lineage. In the history of the Snake Eight Clan, no one who is not an emperor has been able to awaken an extremely dangerous Word Spirit with a sequence number above 90.

Thinking of this, Uesugi Yue could not help but fall silent. Could it be that he was not actually the last descendant of the Uesugi family? The Eight Snake Clan had been passed down in Japan for thousands of years. In the vast history, it was possible that the direct bloodline of the three inner families was lost outside. Could it be that the Eight Snake Clan really found a little princess who had been lost among the people from outside?
It can't be his daughter who is living outside, right? Just now, Ange said that the little girl is not even an adult yet! If she is not an adult, according to the timeline... Is it Yui's child? Or Chiyoko's? Tatsuru? Toie?

Uesugi Yue racked his brains to recall the debt of love he owed outside, but then he seemed to suddenly notice something: "Wait a minute, you just said that Uesugi Eriya was only one of the reasons why you came to Japan... Then what are your other reasons for coming to Japan?"

“It just so happened that those excellent students took some interesting photos.”

Angers picked up the suitcase he was carrying, unlocked it, took out a few photos and pushed them in front of Uesugi Yue. The scenes in the photos stunned Uesugi Yue.

"This is……"

"This is the secret that your Eight Snake Families have guarded for generations, right? A mysterious city that was sunk deep into the Japan Trench. Buried there are dragon technology, prophecy bronze pillars, corpse guards... and the remains of gods."

Uesugi Yue was silent for a long time: "You actually sent people to investigate the burial place of the gods... Where did you get the information from? Have the top leaders of the Sheqi Eight Clan been infiltrated by you?"

"This matter is the secret of the academy."

"No, even if you know what secrets exist in the depths of the Japan Trench and send a submersible to the depths of the trench, the God Burial Place is a cursed place in legend. Anyone and any dragon that enters the God Burial Place will be cursed and imprisoned and cannot leave."

"The curse is just a legend after all. No one in history has ever actually entered the God's Burial Ground. Who knows whether the curse is true or false?"

"Isn't that a good ending? Your outstanding students all left there safely. Places like the God's Burial Place should have been blown up long ago. It only has negative effects if it remains in this world. Since you already know about the existence of the God's Burial Place, you will surely not leave it alone. I feel relieved to leave the God's Burial Place to you."

"Do you trust me so much?"

"No, there is nothing trustworthy about you."

Uesugi Yue shrugged. "But I know one thing... If you ask who hates dragons the most in this world, then that person is you, Ange. I know what you have lost, so I know that only you will destroy the God's Burial Place without mercy. You don't care about the dragon technology, the prophecy bronze pillar, and the bones of the gods hidden there."

"Thank you for your compliment." Ange said calmly, "But I'm afraid I'll betray your trust. At least for now, I won't destroy that place."

Uesugi paused and frowned: "Why?"

“Because God doesn’t seem to be there anymore.”

Angers took out a new photo and handed it to Uesugi Yue: "This was also taken by my students underwater. A shipwreck sank in the place you called the burial place of gods. It is said that there are embryos of high-level dragons. My students found a large group of corpse guards in the abyss, but did not find the god who was qualified to enjoy the blood sacrifice. The only possibility is that the fetal blood of the embryo awakened your god, and He may have broken free from the cage and regained his freedom."

Uesugi Yue looked at the photo and his face turned pale.

"Before we investigate the truth of this matter, the Burial of Gods must be kept." Angers said, "This is why I came to Japan instead of someone else. I am the only one who knows that you, the previous Shadow Emperor of the Sheqi Eight Clan, are still alive. I need to learn more from you."

Uesugi Yue was silent for a long time, and finally sighed, scratched his head and said:

"I actually know very little. You know, I'm not the legitimate successor of the Uesugi family. I'm a wild child that my father brought back from outside. The Japanese take inheritance very seriously. If I wasn't the 'Emperor', I wouldn't even be accepted by the Snake Eight Families."

Ange was just about to say that there was no rush, that it was still early and they could talk slowly, when suddenly he heard a rumbling sound coming from far away.

There seemed to be dark clouds overhead, and the sudden wind blew up the fallen cherry blossoms on the ground.

Angé looked up and saw a black formation of helicopters flying over their heads in the sky. The eye-catching logo of "Genji Heavy Industries" was uniformly painted on the fuselages of the helicopters.

"It seems like something big has happened." Uesugi Yue said.

"I can see that," replied Ange.

"It seems that our chat can only end here." Uesugi Yue shrugged.

"It seems so." Ange said, "You should be setting up a stall tomorrow, right?"

"After you finish your business in Tokyo, go back immediately, Qi Kexiu!" Uesugi Yue said through gritting his teeth.

"Then see you tomorrow." Ange said, standing up from his seat with a smile and picking up his suitcase.

"I didn't promise you."

Watching Ange turn around, Uesugi Yue retracted his gaze and was about to sigh when Ange behind him suddenly seemed to remember something and turned back again and said, "By the way, although it's a small stall, you still have to pay attention to hygiene. When you were cooking noodles just now, a hair almost fell into my bowl."
