We agreed to be in a band for life, what the heck is Dragon Raja?

No... still no!

Inuyama Kyu suddenly felt annoyed.

Why are there so many 'books' here? They're piled up together, seemingly endless, and they're even a head taller than him.

Who in the world would display books this high? Before, when I borrowed books, I would put them by my bedside and read a few pages before going to sleep. Now, someone is displaying 'books' like this; they must have ulterior motives.

ill intentions... ill intentions...

Inuyama Kyu was somewhat angry.

He no longer treated the papers gently; instead, he kicked them hard, and a row of cabinets crashed down with a 'bang,' scattering the documents on them everywhere.

"Ha ha ha ha."

Inuyama Kui laughed.

He kicked as he walked, knocking over a whole bunch of cabinets in the document room.

The history of the Inuyama family, the things that Inuyama Kazuo cherished, were thus casually scattered all over the ground.

He was kicking for a while when he suddenly stopped.

"That is……"

A small wooden cabinet appeared before him, but its bottom railing was crooked, and there was a small door next to it.

"Small cabinet..."

There's a small box behind the door...

"Take the box with you..."

"It should be right here."

Inuyama Kyu was overjoyed.

He stepped forward and gently pressed the doorknob.

"Nobody will be here, right..."

The thought had just crossed his mind.

next moment,

A vast and powerful pressure suddenly descended, like a mighty river, directly engulfing his body.

"what!"

Inuyama Kyu was utterly shocked.

He subconsciously tried to activate his Word of Power, but it didn't react at all, as if everything was locked down. His once-proud trump card had now become a worthless piece of paper.

Furthermore, when he conceived the idea of ​​activating the power of words, the pressure suddenly intensified, pressing down on him as if it were a tangible force, causing him to involuntarily want to kneel down.

It's like a king punishing his disobedient subject.

"what happened!?"

"Who is this?"

A storm raged in Inuyama Kyu's heart.

He had never felt this level of pressure before. When he faced Sanjiao Chuhua before, her aura was already terrifying enough, but compared to this moment, it was still much weaker.

As for the rest of the Ghost Clan...

Inuyama Kui has not yet come into contact with any senior executives other than Mikasa Hatsuka, but he knows that middle-level and ordinary staff members are even less likely to have this level of aura.

"escape!"

Now, he had only one thought in his mind, and an indescribable sense of fear filled his mind, making him dare not go any closer.

but……

His body seemed to have a mind of its own, and he stood there frozen in place.

"Almost..."

Inuyama Kui struggled.

There was only one bullet left in the gun.

He initially wanted to fire, but then he suddenly remembered that with his physical abilities, he could withstand several ordinary bullets. Could he possibly hit someone of this caliber? He'd probably just get easily dodged.

Despair enveloped him.

The pressure seemed to have intensified.

Inuyama Kyu knelt down on the ground with a thud, as if only this could make him feel more comfortable.

He struggled to lift his head, but suddenly his vision was almost completely obscured.

That is……

Inuyama Kyu vaguely saw a young figure, who seemed to be a few years younger than him.

The oppressive aura we just felt came from him.

Was that the oppressive aura of a superior... or the might of a dragon?

"The emperor..."

For some reason, Inuyama Kyu suddenly thought of this word.

However, the pressure emanating from Nan Yun Yu Yue was too intense. After glancing at her, he involuntarily lowered his head again.

"Who exactly is he...?"

Inuyama Kyu was filled with shock and confusion.

He had heard from other members of the Demon Clan that there was a 'Amaterasu' in the Execution Bureau. The Snake-Headed Eight Families believed that he would bring light to every member of the family, and that few could withstand a single blow from him.

At the time, Inuyama Kyu scoffed at this claim.

Even if Amaterasu can bring glory to some members of the family, a wandering ghost like him will surely be burned to ashes before sunrise. What use is Amaterasu to a ghost like me?

But at this moment,

Feeling the oppressive aura emanating from the boy before him, he felt that this sense of pressure far surpassed that of 'Amaterasu no Mikoto,' whom the members of the Demon Clan feared.

Can 'Amaterasu no Michi' be compared to a born emperor?

Inuyama Kyu wanted to retaliate, but he couldn't move an inch.

Step—step—step

Nan Yun Yuyue walked to his side.

"Oh... there are guns too."

He leaned down to look at Inuyama Kyu.

Inuyama Kyu knelt, not daring to raise his head.

"Ugh……"

The gun had fallen from Inuyama Kui's hand to the ground.

Nan Yunyu picked up the gun and put it back in his hand.

"I'm not very good at using it, could you help me use it?"

Inuyama Kyu trembled all over. He suddenly felt the pressure lessen and it seemed that he could move his body again.

He picked up the pistol unsteadily; the last bullet was already loaded.

It looked like Nan Yun Yu Yue was very close to him, and it seemed that she could hit and kill him without even aiming.

but……

Inuyama Kyu's fear intensified.

That feeling was climbing up my spine.

When he was five years old, he had a similar experience when he was taken away from his home by the enforcement officers, but although he was terrified then, his reaction was not as intense as it is now.

"Ahhhh-"

Inuyama Kui suddenly cried out in surprise.

Unable to withstand the pressure any longer, he reversed his hands and pulled the trigger.

boom!

The last bullet was fired suddenly, bursting out of his mouth and piercing through his skull.

wow——

Blood splattered everywhere.

Inuyama Kyu collapsed, powerless.

His body lay sprawled on the ground, and for some reason, a smile, as if of relief, lingered at the corner of his mouth.

"Ugh."

Nan Yun Yu Yue sighed.

[Forbidden Zone: Within the domain of discipline, the incantations of dragons/hybrids will be forcibly sealed based on the user's individual strength.]

[Heart Abyss: Based on the strength of one's own bloodline, it can guide/control the emotions of all living beings within its domain to a certain extent.]

Thanks to the two effects of 'Discipline' and the improvement of his own physical fitness, even though Inuyama Kyu had strengthened his bloodline, he still harbored a fear of the Snake-Headed Eight Families. After this fear was amplified, he ultimately died under the influence of 'Discipline'.

"Like moths to a flame."

Nan Yun Yuyue turned around and walked back behind the small door that had been blocked earlier.

The structure inside the small door is roughly the same as the outside.

Apart from rows of cabinets for storing documents, there was only a specially made small box.

Just now, Nan Yun Yuyue had already looked through some of the documents inside.

The document above is nothing special; it's about the history of the Inuyama family, recounting their development since the birth of the Hebi-hachi family.

The inscription is filled with descriptions of the Inuyama family's past glory. They say that before the Edo period, any of the Eight Heriki families were Japanese nobles, and the Inuyama family was naturally one of them.

Until the Edo period, under the tide of the times, the eight great families lost their land and property, and never again had the glory of the nobles of the past.

Left with no other choice, the once aristocratic family had to stoop down and join the underworld.

Relying on their mixed-race talents, they quickly built a reputation for violence in the underworld.

They both sheltered gangs formed by the poor and collected protection money, while also engaging in some of the gray or black industries within them, earning a large amount of money and enabling the Snake Clan to rise from decline to prosperity again.

This story tells the tale of the Inuyama family's struggles and triumphs.

Nan Yun Yuyue only glanced at it briefly and didn't look at it carefully.

The content above is clearly a re-edited version by later generations, a historical record of the older version. It has probably long been lost to the annals of history.

What he was really concerned about wasn't any of that, but rather the special box that he just couldn't open.

This alchemy chest is entirely black, with thick bronze trim, exuding an ancient and rustic feel.

"How did this thing end up here?"

Nan Yun Yuyue was somewhat curious.

Previously, from the perspective of 'Discipline', this box seemed somewhat unusual.

Ordinary items don't have any special shielding effect, but this box is clearly an alchemical creation, capable of shielding the perception of the Commandments to a certain extent.

However, as he poured his mental energy into it, the general appearance of the contents inside naturally became apparent.

"It seems to be something like a silk booklet, similar to an ancient scroll."

Nan Yun Yu Yue Xin Dao.

"and many more!"

He suddenly felt his spiritual tendrils twitch, as if the alchemical creation before him was resonating with him and saying something to him.

"what happened."

Nan Yunyu was somewhat surprised, as he had never heard of such a situation before.
