The infinite sword system has been mastered, and you say this is the dragon clan?

Chapter 119: Zhisheng, your strength must be no weaker than Emiya

After the rain in the mountains, the air brought by the breeze is unbearably moist, and its majestic momentum is like a rolling back sea tide.

The vast green sea sways its branches in the wind, spreading continuously upward from the foot of the mountain until it extends to the top of the mountain which is obscured by misty clouds.

A young man with a rather feminine appearance started from the foot of the mountain. He had tall eyebrows and fair skin, and was wearing the dark green Kassel Academy uniform. When he reached the middle of the mountain, he turned into a small house as if he knew the way.

There was firelight coming through the hut, and the sound of hammer hitting steel was long and clear. An old man in white linen was forging a knife blank by the fire. As the old man's movements rose and fell skillfully, bright sparks flew everywhere.

"Zhisheng, are you back from vacation? How is the living environment at Kassel College?"

When the old man saw the young man, he put the knife blank back into the charcoal fire, shook his hands to take a breath, covered his cheek with a slightly damp large towel and rubbed it vigorously twice.

"Are you tired after all the journey? Sit down and take a rest. The cup of Kikurihime Ginjo that has just been delivered to the table is from Master Noguchi Hisahiko. Have a sip to moisten your throat."

The young man, Gen Chisei, was not polite to the old man. He took off his dark green school uniform and hung it on the hook in the hut. The environment in this hut with the forge was extremely hot. Then he took out two bottles of low-temperature iced Kikurihime Ginjo from the small freezer on the table and handed one to the old man in front of him...

That is his father, Masamune Tachibana, the head of the Snake Family, the largest mixed-race force in Japan.

"Dad," Yuan Zhisheng sat down by the stove, holding a bottle of sake in his hand, "I thought you would be sitting in the office waiting for me. After all, you never wrote to me before to say that you hoped I would come home soon after the summer vacation this year."

It felt like something important was happening, as if the letter was urging Yuan Zhisheng, who was studying at Kassel College, to come back quickly.

Although Minamoto no Chisei called Tachibana Masamune "Dad", the relationship between him and the old man was obviously not a biological father and son relationship. To be precise, he was the "adopted son" of Tachibana Masamune, the supreme leader of the Eight Snake Families and the patriarch.

Minamoto no Chisei did not know who his biological parents were. In his early years, he and his younger brother were fostered in a mountain villager's home in Kadori Town. His adoptive father was a heavy drinker and treated the Genji brothers badly. He always complained that the support he gave was not enough.

The precocious Gen Chisei guessed from these words that someone was secretly sending child support to the two brothers, and even thought that his biological parents were still alive. However, he did not wait for his parents, but for a member of the Snake Eight families, Tachibana Masamune, who was dressed like a middle-aged office worker.

It turned out that the person who provided the child support was Masamune Tachibana. This gangster wanted to adopt him as his son, claiming that he hoped to use Minamoto Chisei's excellent bloodline to ascend to a high position in the family. After several twists and turns, Minamoto Chisei finally agreed to follow Masamune Tachibana.

Only after entering the Snake Eight Families did Minamoto no Chisho realize that the Minamoto clan's bloodline belonged to the "upper three families" among the Snake Eight Families, different from the "lower five families" of lower status.

The three upper families, Minamoto, Tachibana, and Uesugi, are direct descendants of "God" (White King). Their bloodlines are superior to those of other families and they are more qualified to lead the eight Snake families.

Tachibana Masamune claimed that his bloodline was only average in the Tachibana family, but mixed-bloods like Minamoto Chisei were super mixed-bloods that could be called "emperors".

According to the research of the Secret Party, once the proportion of dragon blood in the body of a hybrid exceeds 50%, the dragon spirit will suppress the human spirit and the hybrid will degenerate into Deadpool.

However, the hybrids in Japan are descendants of the god, the White King, who controls the spiritual elements. A very small number of top hybrids are born from this, and can achieve a dragon blood ratio of more than 50% while still maintaining a human heart. This super hybrid is called "Emperor" by the Eight Snake Families.

In this mixed-race family, the emperor is the natural strongest and leader, and the royal blood flowing in his body is also a proof of the superiority of the bloodlines of the top three families.

Once an emperor of each generation appears, he is destined to become the patriarch of the Eight Sheqi Families... This is almost a traditional iron rule that has remained unchanged from ancient times to the present.

With the support of Minamoto no Chisei, the adopted son of imperial blood, and his own hard work, Tachibana Masamune was finally promoted step by step, from a cadre to the head of the Tachibana family, and finally successfully sat on the throne of the patriarch three years ago.

Although Yuan Zhisheng is young, he holds a high position. His strength has won recognition and admiration from many people in the Sheqi Eight Families, especially the young members.

However, he was currently arranged by his family to study at Kassel College, so he could only come back to see how things were going at home during the holidays...

As for sending the disciples of the clan to study at Kassel College, it has been a long-standing practice. Even though Yuan Zhisheng is the "Emperor" of the Eight Clans of Sheqi, he is no exception.

Of course, the Sheqi Eight Families would definitely refuse the secret party's bloodline testing on the Japanese hybrids in the training class.

Any testing, blood sampling and analysis are not allowed. The Eight Snakes have strictly guarded all the secrets of the "God" from ancient times to the present, eliminating the possibility of the secret party discovering the secret of the Yuan Zhisheng Emperor's blood.

"Zhisheng, before you came back this time, did you notice any rumors in the academy?"

At this moment, Tachibana Masamune, who was bending over beside the forge, sat up straight. The relaxed expression on his face quietly disappeared, and the majestic aura brought by his high position and power climbed up between the old man's brows, turning him from a katana craftsman in white linen clothes into the well-known patriarch of the Snake Eight Families in an instant.

"Rumor?" Yuan Zhisheng's expression tightened when he heard it. "No, there is no important news among the students, and the professors who come to the advanced class are also teaching normally." Why did my father mention this? Is the secret party making a big move? My father asked me to come back quickly. Did he suspect that the secret party had discovered the secret of my royal blood?

"Everything is normal, which is the biggest abnormality." Tachibana Masamune said in a deep voice, "Chisheng, you are in Kassel Academy so you are blocked from certain news. I'm afraid that any signs of public opinion will be quickly suppressed by the orders of the top leaders, because they want to prevent the breeding of an atmosphere of unrest."

"During this period of time, several major events were reported from Shenzhou across the sea. First, the Norse god 'Odin' appeared, causing a serious situation that almost exposed the secrets of the dragon clan to the outside world. In the end, he was jointly extinguished by the Shenzhou families. The 'God Slayer' was named Emiya Shirou."

"Second, the secret party lost in the negotiations with the Shenzhou family. The specific content is unknown, but the result is clear. The secret party's power has almost withdrawn from Shenzhou. And the failure of the secret party is not an isolated case. Such a scene has also been staged in many places in Europe."

"…But the family's intelligence channels for the European mixed-blood forces are not so complete, so we are unable to obtain more detailed information."

Yuan Zhisheng was almost stunned after hearing this. What was going on? He had only been in school for one semester, and when he came back, he was suddenly told that the weather outside had changed?

Is the secret party no longer a global and all-powerful force?
Wait, this is a good thing for the Sheqi Eight Clan, which has been suppressed by the secret party for a long time! In other words...

"That's right, Zhisheng, this is our chance to turn things around!"

Tachibana Masamune stared at the flickering flames in the stove. "For the last century, our family has been intimidated by the threats from Angers and the Secret Party and has been forced to bow down and be humble. Although we have an equal alliance with the Secret Party in name, the influence of the Secret Party is everywhere."

"We joined the Secret Party as a branch in Japan, and also established an executive bureau modeled after the Secret Party's executive department. Relying on years of operation, these organizations have been firmly controlled by our people, but in terms of the system, we still belong to the Secret Party. At most, we are an 'autonomous region' under the Secret Party, but not truly independent."

"Zhisheng, now is the chance. The secret party is in decline. Whether we can rely on this opportunity to escape from the clutches of the secret party depends on our efforts."

When Tachibana Masamune said this, his tone was excited. His expression fell into the eyes of Minamoto Chisei, but the latter was not infected at all, but his expression hid a trace of fatigue from the power struggle.

Yuan Zhisheng was not an ambitious person, but he did not object to his father's statement. Instead, he calmed down and asked, "Dad, what are you going to do?"

"Emiya Shirou, the God Slayer who claims to have killed Odin." Tachibana Masamune uttered a name, "That is the power we should strive for."

"Emiya... Shirou...? Is he a wild hybrid?"

Yuan Zhisheng had never heard of a mixed-blood family with the surname Emiya on this island country, but this did not stop him from being amazed, "He has not received any dedicated training from his family, but he has been able to achieve this. Judging from his deeds of killing gods, I am not as good as him."

"That's right, this is exactly the kind of talent the family needs." Tachibana Masamune didn't care about Emiya's background, he only cared about the great help he could bring to the family.

"It is said that this godslayer possesses the greatest treasure of one of the oldest families in Shenzhou, the Zhou family - the Dragon-Severing Platform. In my opinion, the support of various families and the magical effect of the Dragon-Severing Platform played an indispensable role in the godslayer war."

"Although many forces have inferred that Odin is a Dragon King based on the elemental turbulence of the 'suspected world-destroying word spirit', Emiya, who killed Odin, may not be as strong as a Dragon King. It is reasonable to estimate that he should be within the range of the stronger second-generation species."

"Chisheng, in my opinion, your strength is not weaker than Emiya. The bloodline of the 'Emperor' is even higher than those 'S-level' hybrids of the secret party, so if it were you on that battlefield, you would be able to slay dragons and kill gods. So there is no need to be envious of him."

"Killing God... Can I really kill God?"

Yuan Zhisheng shook his head secretly in his heart. He was not familiar with Odin. The god he knew most clearly was the White King, whose descendants were spread all over the island country.

This god gave them a strong bloodline, but also created countless dangerous bloodlines, "ghosts" whose mental tendencies were prone to dragon degeneration. The bloodlines of those ghosts were extremely unstable, and they might degenerate out of control one day, with their behavior patterns filled with the bloodthirsty tendencies of dragons, and they would irreversibly slide towards the abyss of becoming Deadpool.

Some mixed-bloods even betrayed their families when their bloodlines were judged to be unstable. They eventually gathered together to form the "Fierce Ghost Clan" organization that openly confronted the Eight Clans of Sheqi for many years.

This dangerous organization, the Fierce Ghost Clan, does not compete for or attempt to overthrow the ruling status of the Eight Snake Clans, but fanatically pursues the path to becoming a god - they attempt to find the sealed "fragments of God", that is, the remains of the White King, so that they can "leap over the dragon gate" and evolve into pure-blooded dragons.

Before Yuan Zhisheng went to Kassel College for further studies, his job in the Execution Bureau was to kill ghosts, execute those mentally abnormal, degenerate hybrids full of violent desires, or hunt down those fierce ghosts who wanted to become dragons. This kind of killing work almost became a daily routine, a daily routine full of blood.

If killing God could end this cruel cycle of tragedy, then Yuan Zhisheng sincerely hoped that he could kill their "God".

At this time, Tachibana Masamune was sitting in front of the fire, half of his face was illuminated by the flickering flames, and the other side was hidden in the shadows.

"Don't worry, Zhisheng. Sooner or later, we will put an end to the history of ghosts. The fierce ghosts will not succeed. The secrets of 'God' should be buried forever."
