Lu Mingfei, who had read Dragon Clan before slaying the dragon

"Well... Chu Zihang... he has something to tell you... it's something very important." Caesar stood behind Yuan Zhisheng and winked at Chu Zihang frantically.

The corner of Chu Zihang's eyes twitched slowly. With the tacit understanding between Chu Zihang and Caesar, he naturally understood that Caesar wanted him to use a delaying tactic, but he was still annoyed by Caesar's behavior of shifting the blame.

Chu Zihang's mind was racing with thoughts on how to delay time and convince Yuan Zhisheng to stay on this floor... Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

He recalled that Lu Mingfei had indeed entrusted him with an important matter, which was to help him find out what Yuan Zhisheng was saying if he met him. Lu Mingfei asked Chu Zihang to ask Yuan Zhisheng a crucial question.

"Yes, I do have a very important question to ask Yu Yuanjun." Chu Zihang changed his confused expression and suddenly stared at Yuan Zhisheng with burning eyes.

"Minamoto-kun, what do you think of the former head of the family, Tachibana Masamune?"

……

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, is the 'God' you're talking about the same as the one I'm thinking of?" Uesugi Yue continued to wash the bamboo chopsticks after a brief moment of daze. He asked casually, but his eyes were fixed on Ange's expression.

In Uesugi Yue's cognition, Ange has been a cunning guy since more than 60 years ago. He can make the entire Sheqi Eight Families run around in circles by himself, just like a fox demon who has become a spirit.

Now that so many years have passed and Ange is so old, his cunning nature must have become worse. This guy has become an old fox and is more difficult to deal with than before. This old fox may have just heard some fragmented information about the family and used it to deceive him.

Absolutely!

Otherwise, how could Ange truly know the truth about "God"? Even his student Inuyama He would never tell Ange anything about "God".

During the period when Uesugi Koshi was the head of the family, the family rules in this regard were so strict that they were almost inhumane. Any news about "God" was the highest level of prohibition in the family rules of all eight families. If someone leaked news about the descendants of the White King, at most they would be sentenced to death. However, if anyone dared to leak information about "God", the lightest punishment would be death penalty, and the highest punishment would even involve all relatives and clansmen!

Therefore, Uesugi Yue was certain that Ange only had a vague understanding of the news about the "God". This old fox had hit a wall with the Sheqi Eight Families, so he wanted to get the biggest secret of the Sheqi Eight Families from his mouth.

But Ange was uncharacteristically calm. He calmly picked up a porcelain bone cup and played with it in his palm, saying in a leisurely tone, "Hey, old friend, seeing your cautious expression, I know you think you know what I'm thinking...but do you really know?"

"What?" Uesugi Yue frowned slightly, confused by Ange's words. "Are you talking in a tongue twister? Please say something that normal people can understand!"

"Oh, then I'll be frank. I know you think I'm trying to trick you, but I really am not. God can testify for me." Ange slammed the porcelain bone cup on the table and looked at Uesugi Yue with a burning gaze. "The secret of your Eight Snake Houses has been exposed. Aside from the matter of the White King's descendants, the Eight Snake Houses' greatest mission has been to protect an ancient city nestled on the seabed, and to guard the things hidden within it and its secrets. This city is located in the abyss deep within the Japan Trench, and its name is 'Takama-ga-hara'."

"In the Kojiki, 'Takama-hara' means 'the city of the gods.' The 'gods' here correspond to the ancestor of your Yaki clan, that majestic white god." Ange smiled. "And what your Yaki clan has protected for generations is the city itself and the legacy left by the white god there, such as the giant statue, the ancient dragon technology buried there, the relics that have been passed down for thousands and tens of thousands of years, and the shrines forged by our Japanese hybrid ancestors... and of course, the bones of the 'god'!"

"That's enough! Stop talking!"

Uesugi Yue unconsciously exerted force on the bamboo chopsticks, breaking the whole bunch of chopsticks. He rushed forward and covered Ange's mouth with his hand. He looked left and right with a vigilant face, just like a rich man who accidentally showed off his wealth and was always afraid that his wealth would be coveted by a thief hiding in the dark.

"You, you, you...how could you know that?! These are top secrets that are strictly forbidden to be mentioned within the family!" Uesugi Yue looked at Ange in horror, his expression as if he had seen a ghost. "Who is the head of the Sheqi Eight Clan now? Is the management so lax? They even dare to reveal the secrets of 'God' to outsiders?!"

Chapter 346: Bloodbath: Threats from the Eight Snake Clan

"It seems that you have been a ramen chef for too long and are ignorant of the world. You have lost touch with this era." Angé looked at the old-faced Uesugi Yue and shook his head slightly.

"I'm an old man too, but even an old man should learn more about what young people like and the current state of society. Don't live in the past century," Ange said earnestly. "The rapid development of science and technology today is beyond your imagination. Human technology can even conquer the Mariana Trench. Building a submersible that can dive to the bottom of the abyss is not a difficult task."

"Did you explore the abyssal depths with a submersible?" Uesugi Yue murmured. "Is that the kind of unmanned deep-sea diving technology they often talk about on TV science channels?"

"No, current technology isn't advanced enough for unmanned submersibles down to 8,000 meters." Ange shook his head. "Fortunately, we had the Trieste submersible provided by the Gattuso family, along with three excellent pilots. They guided the Trieste into the abyss. The journey was arduous, with many mishaps. But the astonishing secrets they brought back shocked us all, making our massive investment and the hardships those children endured a worthwhile investment.

"A submersible with a pilot?" Uesugi Yue was puzzled. He shook his head seriously. "That's even more impossible. The ancient underwater city of Takama-ga-hara is a cursed place. The remains of the 'god' rest there. All hybrids who enter Takama-ga-hara cannot leave. They are forced to remain in the 'god's' city and rest there with her. It's impossible for ordinary people to survive in such an extreme environment."

"You probably underestimated our pilots. Although they're still rookies, they're absolutely exceptional. They're the three children I'm most proud of." Angé couldn't help but boast when mentioning Caesar and the other two. "Their bloodlines are powerful enough. Not only did they escape the curse of Takama-ga-hara, but they also managed to escape after entering the Abyss and survive a devastating catastrophe. The information they brought to the academy finally allowed us to uncover all the secrets you Japanese half-bloods have kept for so many years... Now I'm laying these secrets before you. They can't be fake, right?"

Uesugi Yue lowered his head and fell into a long silence.

He was digesting the vast amount of information in Ange's words. It seemed that Japan had completely changed in the years since he abdicated from the Snake Eight Clan... Yes, more than sixty years was too long, so long that the once high-spirited Emperor of Shadow had become an old man selling ramen. It was no surprise that so many things had happened to the Snake Eight Clan.

"The catastrophe you just mentioned... is it related to the tsunami that occurred in Tokyo Bay a week ago?" After a long silence, Uesugi Yue raised his head and looked at Ange and asked.

"Who said you're old? Your intuition is still as sharp as a young person's." Ange clapped his hands lightly. "That's right. Your descendants came up with a treacherous plan. They converted the Trieste submersible's nuclear power module into a weapon similar to a nuclear bomb. They did this without telling us. They used our people to send the Trieste nuclear weapon to their desired depth, then hid on the sea surface and detonated it with a 'bang'. The tsunami not long ago was caused by the explosion of the submersible's nuclear power module deep in the Sea of ​​Japan Trench."

"What about Takama-ga-hara? Was Takama-ga-hara destroyed?" Uesugi Yue asked the question he was concerned about.

"Well, 'Takama-ga-hara' sank into the magma on the seabed along with the entire rock layer. The huge dragon statue was buried along with the huge alchemical matrix in the city. The corpses buried under Takama-ga-hara also died. The ancient city that buried the secrets about 'God' has completely disappeared from this world." Anger nodded.

"That's great." Uesugi Yue seemed relieved. "That sinful history and those monsters should have died long ago. Those cities of our ancestors and gods, aren't they enough torment? To celebrate the demise of Takama-ga-hara and the shrines and gods buried within, I'll make an exception and treat you to another drink... Oh, the noodle stall's out of alcohol. What did you say you wanted to drink? I'll go get it for you."

"Don't be so happy too soon." Ange shook his head and suddenly said seriously, "'Takama-ga-hara' and the Shimori are gone, but 'God' is probably still alive. Before our people entered 'Takama-ga-hara', 'God' seemed to have disappeared from the city."

"How is that possible!" Uesugi Yue's face changed drastically. "She is just a piece of remains, a skeleton! How could a skeleton escape from the cemetery on its own?!"

"Someone helped 'God' escape from her grave." Ange took out a photo from his lining pocket and pushed it in front of Uesugi Yue.

Uesugi Yue picked up the photo, squinted his eyes and looked at it carefully. His expression became ugly at a speed visible to the naked eye, and his face became paler and paler.

The photo was not clear, but one could generally see a white dragon sculpture holding a huge "tumor" in its hand. The "tumor" was covered with green lung snails and black blood vessels... That was the Lenin that had turned into a meat cocoon, and the blood of the Lenin had been drained dry.

"About twenty years ago, a former Soviet icebreaker named the Lenin sailed from the Far North. No one knew who ordered it into Japanese waters. Carrying a living dragon embryo, this ancient dragon embryo possessed a high bloodline. However, the person behind the scenes hadn't brought the embryo to Japan to hatch it," Ange explained to Uesugi Yue. "The person behind the scenes orchestrated a shipwreck, sinking the Lenin and the ancient dragon embryo into the depths of the Abyss, right where the ancient underwater city of Takamaga-hara lies. A 'god' is buried there, and the person behind the scenes's goal is to awaken the 'god'."

"You're saying... 'God' has been awakened? Do you have any concrete evidence... I mean, evidence other than this photo." Uesugi Yue threw the photo on the table and stared at Ange. "Even though I've been a ramen chef for over sixty years, I'm not completely clueless. I know that with modern technology, it's easy to fake a video, let alone a blurry photo."

"Besides, even if this photo is real, it can only mean that someone once wanted to use this icebreaker and the ancient dragon embryo inside to provide nutrients to the 'God'. It can't prove that the 'God' has awakened and left 'Takama-ga-hara'. Maybe it became extinct along with those corpse guards." Uesugi Yue questioned.

"Evidence? Takama-ga-hara was successfully destroyed. Isn't that the best evidence?" Ange said solemnly, "The god must have escaped. Otherwise, sensing danger, she would at least struggle and resist, right?"

"Think carefully, using your brain, which has rusted for over sixty years. Who has the ability to suppress the hatching of an ancient dragon embryo with noble blood, assimilating it with the Lenin into a tumor-like living nutrient? Is it the corpse guards? Or the person behind the scenes?" Ange analyzed. "It has been twenty years since the Lenin accident, but in those twenty years, not a single corpse guard has escaped from Takama-ga-hara. Only when Takama-ga-hara was about to be destroyed did the alchemical matrix with the dragon sculpture as its core in the city absorb all the nutrients of the ancient dragon embryo in one breath, awakening the corpse guards. So who has absorbed the huge vitality provided by the ancient dragon embryo over all these years? Who else could it be but God?"

"Don't fool yourself! All the evidence points to the fact that 'God' has quietly revived and left 'Takamagahara'. The catastrophe for you, the Eight Snake Clans, has quietly descended!" Ange's voice was like a deep bell. "Perhaps this catastrophe isn't just for you, but for the entire world. That's why I came to you. Because facing such an invincible figure as 'God', even the strongest dragon slayer, Hilbert Jean Ange, would need sufficiently reliable helpers before daring to declare war on him!"

The expression on Uesugi Yue's face was completely frozen. It was obvious that he had believed Ange's words, but he was not ready yet, and there was a struggle between his conscience and his desires in his mind.

Ange also noticed that Uesugi Yue was wavering, so he decided to add fuel to the fire. His tone was extremely serious: "Don't you think that the person behind this is well aware of the secrets of your Eight Snake Families? You know, it took us at Kassel Academy over sixty years to learn the secret that you are descendants of the White King. Only now did we happen to learn about 'Takama-ga-hara' and 'God' by chance through salvaging a shipwreck, but he knew everything twenty years ago and planned it all. Now he has successfully released 'God' from the grave. Where do you think he is most likely hiding?"

After asking the last question, Ange stared into Uesugi Yue's eyes, waiting for his answer.

Uesugi Yue had actually thought of the answer when Ange was narrating, but he hesitated to speak. After a long while, he asked Ange in a low voice in a rhetorical tone: "You mean... the person behind the scenes has already infiltrated the Sheqi Eight Clan?"

"Bingo!" Ange clapped his hands softly. "This is the most likely scenario. As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is the safest place. That guy must have forged the identity of one of your clansmen and infiltrated the Eight Snake Clans. He must be of high status, so he has the opportunity to access the secrets buried in the Abyss and keep an eye on his plans."

"If I can't find that guy within a week, I won't waste any more time sitting here waiting for death." Ange's tone was filled with cold murderous intent. "Then I will completely wipe out the entire Sheqi Eight Families and massacre all the top leaders of the eight families until I wipe out that damned 'God'!"

"Oh, since that's what you think, then just do it. Why would a diligent and hardworking ramen chef tell me about such a big thing as massacring a mafia family? I've been retired for over sixty years, and now I just want to make my ramen well." Uesugi Yue said nonchalantly, "There's always a way out. Even if I was once the supreme boss of the mafia, a retired mafia member has no connection with the mafia anymore. Besides, before I retired, I did a lot of things that were bad for the family, so in the eyes of those guys, I'm a pest... Of course, in their eyes, you're a pest too, so I'd love to see you massacre them. That would be a great thing. I believe that if you wipe out the largest mafia family in Japan, all the people of Japan will thank you, praise you, and sing your praises from the bottom of their hearts!"

After saying that, Uesugi Kozue calmly grabbed the colander and scooped out the noodle residue from the soup pot. In front of Ange, he also pushed a colored CD into the DVD player connected to the 16-inch color TV in front of him.

Uesugi Koshi stirred the soup pot with a colander with one hand and pressed the buttons on the remote control with the other hand to adjust the volume. He turned the volume up to a level that could not be heard outside the car, but he could just make out the voices of the actors in the film. Only then did he put down the remote control with satisfaction. While stirring the soup pot, he occasionally looked up at the increasingly ambiguous pictures on the 16-inch color TV and hummed a Japanese folk song.

"A week seems like a stretch to wipe out all eight families. Why not start now?" Ange rubbed his chin, muttering to himself in a voice that just drowned out the sound in the video. He seemed to be seriously considering the order in which to cleanse the eight families of Sheqi. "Should I wipe out the Ryoma family first, or the Sakurai family? Or the Fuma family? I don't seem to have much in common with these three families, at least."

He glanced at Uesugi Yue secretly out of the corner of his eye, but the guy still didn't look at him, and was doing his own thing, as if the topic of Ange's muttering had nothing to do with him, and he really had drawn a clear line with the Eight Snake Families and had nothing to do with them anymore... But what Ange noticed was that when he read out these families, Uesugi Yue stirred the soup pot with a colander obviously faster, but the little tune he hummed became a few slower, and he even picked up the remote control and turned up the volume of the TV a few more times to cover up the sound of Ange's muttering.

"I feel like starting with the lower five families doesn't seem to have much of an impact. So, we have to start with the upper three?" Ange's voice rose a few notches, drowning out the sound of the TV drama once again. "So, will the Tachibana family suffer first? Or the Minamoto family? Or the Uesugi family?"

Ange glanced at Uesugi Yue intentionally or unintentionally: "Let's start with the Uesugi family. After all, the Uesugi family not only has little intersection with me, but also has accumulated a lot of hatred."

As he spoke, Ange slowly stood up, as if he was about to take action to wipe out the Uesugi family.

"Asshole, stop right there!" Uesugi Yue pressed the pause button, freezing the picture on TV at a rather disgusting scene, then threw the remote control heavily on the table and picked up the colander to block Ange's body.

"What? You've decided to cooperate with me after calling me?" Ange turned slowly, revealing a triumphant smile. "It's no problem to discuss cooperation. I proposed it to you just now, but you didn't agree. Now that you're willing to cooperate with me, I have an additional condition... Run two blocks to buy me a bottle of whiskey first."

Chapter 347 The God-Slayer Becomes a Ghost

"Ange, can you be any more shameless?" Uesugi Yue's eyebrows were raised high in anger at Ange, and he was almost furious.

"Sure, then I don't want the whiskey two blocks away." Ange smiled slightly. "I suddenly have a craving for your top-notch Japanese sake, 'Takagi Shuzo Juindai'. Could you please bring me a bottle from the Ginza business district? Once you bring back 'Takagi Shuzo Juindai', we can drink and talk."

"How dare you open your mouth! Do you know how much a bottle of 'Takagi Sake Brewery 14th Generation' costs now? Three hundred and fifty thousand yen! A full three hundred and fifty thousand yen!" Uesugi Yue slammed the dining table.

"350,000 yen! I remember you tipped geishas more than that over 60 years ago, and back then, inflation wasn't as rampant as it is today." Ange said calmly, "It's only 350,000 yen, which converts to less than 3,000 US dollars. You're a former gangster king, don't be so stingy. 350,000 yen for a bottle of wine is like it could kill you."

"Upper-class capitalists like you really don't understand the suffering of the world. 350,000 yen is like asking for my life!"

"I was indeed extravagant when I was the supreme leader of the underworld, but now I'm just an ordinary ramen chef. Do you know what 350,000 yen means to an ordinary ramen chef?" Uesugi Yue counted on his fingers for Ange, "Even if I don't eat, drink, or buy pirated pornographic DVs, 350,000 yen will take a ramen chef who runs a late-night snack stall two whole months to save. If you include daily expenses, it will take me at least a whole year to save! A whole year's hard-earned money, all earned by me stretching noodles one by one. Do you have the nerve to ask for it, Ange?"

"Since you describe yourself so pathetically, I'm not without sympathy. So, I'll have some whiskey," Ange said casually. "Perhaps if I enjoy it, I won't bother with your ignorant descendants anymore."

"You'd better go ahead and fight them. I've disliked those guys for a long time anyway. You can kill them or chop them up as you please." Uesugi Yue folded his arms over his chest and sneered. He looked like he had completely given up. "Anyway, there's no wine, but there are people everywhere. Just watch and kill them."

"Time is really a terrible thing. It turns a proud emperor into a complete rogue." Ange sat back in his original seat and sighed.

"Who's the scoundrel, Ange? I'm telling you, I've really put up with you for a long time!" Uesugi Yue was furious. "I was just selling my ramen, and you suddenly drove over here in your flashy Maserati to harass me. Not only did you drive away my customers, you also drank up all the sake I brewed!"

"Now you are eating the free ramen I cooked for you, and you are ordering me around to buy you some wine! If I don't buy you some wine, you are going to kill my family until there are no descendants. Is there anyone as shameless as you? Even Hitler is not as brutal as you!" Uesugi Yue was almost driven crazy by this old bastard Ange.

"Alright, alright, enough kidding. Let's talk about the drinking thing after all the troubles are settled." Ange waved his hand and suddenly said seriously, "I came to you to resolve this incident with the least possible cost before it gets out of control."

"With your help, this matter might be resolved smoothly. Your family wouldn't have to suffer any serious consequences, and my students could evacuate Japan safely." Ange changed the subject. "But if you refuse to help me, then I can only resort to the most foolish method. I would rather kill ten thousand by mistake than let a single one go. Even if I have to wipe out all eight families, I will kill the 'God'... I promise that I won't tell a single lie. You know, I'm an Avenger. I can do anything."

"I know you said you'd destroy all eight families, not just seven. You'll definitely follow through on your ideas and principles. You're just that stubborn." Uesugi Yue sighed deeply and whispered, "But I'm not like that. I don't seek revenge on anyone, nor do I want to cling to my supreme position. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been living this shabby life for over sixty years."

"Honestly speaking, if 'God' really wants to destroy this world, then let her do it. We were originally created by 'God', and it's a worthy death that we were eventually destroyed by 'God'. All dust returns to dust. We didn't bring anything to this world when we came here, so naturally we can't take anything with us when we die. This is the law of nature." When Uesugi Yue said this, his tone was like that of God's most devout believer.

"What a pessimistic statement! It really sounds like something someone who often listens to the mystical utterances of shamans in churches and shrines would say," Ange lamented deeply. "We are both people who seem to hold the power of the world, but in reality we are all alone. Yet, in the end, it seems we have embarked on two completely different paths."

"That's not pessimism, that's insight." Uesugi Yue corrected him, "I'm not like you. You're dashing and charming, you keep up with the times, but I'm someone abandoned by this era. People like me should live in a shabby old place, passing by meaningless passers-by in my life, wasting my time and wasting my life."

"There's nothing I must do, and no one I must kill. There's no one in this world I care about, or who cares about me, so it doesn't really matter to me who dies," Uesugi Yue said expressionlessly. "Or if I were more selfish, I'd think it would be better for everyone to die together. A ramen chef like me will die, and so will the powerful and influential. It's only fair. It would be great to have so many people buried with me. The end of the world must be a spectacular sight."

Ange looked at Uesugi Yue, who had a calm expression on his face, as if even if the world was to end in the next moment, he could face death calmly. After being silent for a long time, Ange let out a long sigh.

"I didn't expect you to become such a world-weary person. You're right, people need something to live for, maybe a bond with someone, maybe a desire for revenge. Perhaps people like you who have nothing are closest to the true meaning of life." Ange paused. "If I were you, I'd probably have bought a coffin by now and be lying in my own grave."

"Coffins aren't popular here in Japan because we don't have a lot of land," Uesugi Yue corrected him seriously. "We usually cremate."

"If you insist on not cooperating with me, at least tell me all the information." Ange stared at Uesugi Yue, "I need to know everything you know, so that I have a chance to find the person behind the scenes without killing innocent people, and force him to tell me the whereabouts of 'God', and then I can kill 'God'. Time is of the essence for us now. We are racing against death. 'God' must not be allowed to be resurrected. She should have just woken up not long ago. We must kill her completely before her power awakens!"

Ange had already taken a big step back, so his tone was harder than ever and no longer playful.

He stared at Uesugi Yue with an unyielding look, and the expression on his face looked as if he would jump up and overturn the entire ramen stall cart if Uesugi Yue dared to say a word of refusal.

"It's not that I don't want to tell you, Ange, but you've really got the wrong person," Uesugi Yue said sincerely. "Even though I was once the most powerful person among the eight Sheqi families, I may not know as much about the truth as those more experienced family heads."

"Why?" Ange frowned deeply.

"You also know how idle my nature is. Although I do have the authority to enter and exit the family's restricted areas and consult all the family's confidential documents, do you think I am such a hardworking person?" Uesugi Yue smiled bitterly.

"Plus, my reign was brief, and the family's mission wasn't to consult ancient books or chronicles, or to strengthen the family. My biggest mission was reproduction," Uesugi Yue explained. "To put it bluntly, I'm a stud. The family needs my pure bloodline to produce superior offspring. Therefore, I spend more time in bed and the bathtub than anywhere else combined. I have no time to browse through ancient books that record family history and information about the dragon race. Furthermore, I have no interest in such things. Even if someone brought such materials to me, I'd just flip through them and read a few pages at most."

"The priceless secrets of the Dragon Clan were right before you, and you just flipped through them?" Ange said with regret, "You really know how to squander such a gift."

"Yes, of course I'm wasteful. There used to be so many sexy, slender, scantily clad beauties lying on my bed, waving at me, their temptations obvious, but I often just waved goodbye and left because I was lazy." Uesugi Yue sighed, "Now I can only watch pornographic videos to get by. I finally realize how little I appreciated it when I was younger."

"That's enough. Stop it. Time for the lecherous thief is over." Ange stretched out a hand to stop Uesugi Yueta from going too far. "I wonder how it is that you guys, who are used to being local tyrants, are all so promiscuous by nature? You are like this, and so is Pompey. I really made the wrong friends. I think if I introduced you and Pompey to each other, you would definitely hit it off and become sworn friends the moment you met."

"Pompeii, the Pompeii from Gattuso's family?"

"Come on, I'm allergic to the Gattuso family. That family with eyes on their foreheads looks down on us Japanese, and I just as easily despise those hairy, smelly Italians." Uesugi Yue rolled his eyes. "Let's get back to the point. If you want to know what 'God' is, you have to start with a war tens of thousands of years ago. The Sheqi Eight Clan have preserved texts and murals depicting this war."

"These historical records date back at least two thousand years. Back then, our mixed-race ancestors already possessed systematic writing and exquisite relief carving techniques," said Uesugi Yue. "Those writings formed several poems and what you might consider to be ridiculous Japanese mythology. And the relief carvings that record these histories are three-dimensional murals known as 'shadow walls.'"

"These texts and the screen wall together describe a lost ancient history, collectively known as the 'Imperial Chronicles,' which originated in a war," Uesugi Yue said. "Do you know why I'm called a sinner of my family? Because before I left the Sheqi Eight Clan, I set fire to the old family shrine. I burned nearly half of the 'Imperial Chronicles' written on the walls of the main shrine. I also nearly destroyed the most important, the giant screen wall with the yin-yang fish on the back."

"So I was nailed to the Sheqi Eight Clan's pillar of shame, and all information about me was deleted from the family's documents by the family historian." Uesugi Yue looked at Ange. "The Shadow Emperor of the Sheqi Eight Clan destroyed the family's most precious treasure. This is something they are more ashamed of than you turning the Sheqi Eight Clan into a Japanese branch."

"But I heard that they later spent a considerable amount of money to restore the historical records that I burned. It is said that the screen wall with the yin-yang fish on the back was hidden in an absolutely safe place that thieves like me can never reach." Uesugi scratched the back of his head.

"You've seen the screen with the yin-yang fish painted on the back, right?" Angé looked at Uesugi Yue. "What exactly is depicted on this screen, which holds such great significance for the Eight Clans of Sheqi?"

"That mural depicts a fact that the Sheqi Eight Clans have been unwilling to reveal for thousands of years. It tells a terrifying truth..."

Uesugi Yue's voice suddenly became low. He stared into Ange's eyes, and his tone was like an oracle proclaiming to the world the ultimate cruel nature of this world.

"All those who attempt to kill 'God'...will replace 'God' himself...and they will all eventually become 'ghosts'!"

"Because 'God' himself is the world's greatest, most evil... 'ghost'!"

……

"Mr. Masamune?" Yuan Zhisheng was stunned. He looked at Chu Zihang with a frown, "Why do you ask this suddenly?"

"Mr. Yuan, if you don't understand this question, then I'll ask more specifically." Chu Zihang stared at Yuan Zhisheng without hesitation. "Do you think that Deadpool's attack on the Genji Heavy Industries Building this time has anything to do with your former patriarch, Tachibana Masamune?"

"Do you suspect Mr. Masamune?"

Yuan Zhisheng's heart moved, but his face remained expressionless. He calmly asked Chu Zihang, "But as far as I know, you and Mr. Zhengzong are not very familiar with each other, right? Apart from the last time he invited you for tea at Xingshen Temple, you have only met a few times... Mr. Chu, I want to know what basis do you have for suspecting someone you have only met a few times?"

"We searched the building's data before invading it. The building has a very high security level, and much of the information is confidential and not publicly available," Chu Zihang said. "But we noticed that the publicly available information showed one thing... that the Genji Heavy Industries building was built by Maruyama Construction."

Chapter 348 Chu Zihang Instigates Yuan Zhisheng to Revolt

Yuan Zhisheng fell silent because Chu Zihang's first sentence directly hit the key point of the Deadpool invasion incident.

The suspicious point of this incident is that a large number of Deadpools appeared in the Genji Heavy Industries Building when no one was prepared. Kaguya did not even issue an alarm that Genji Heavy Industries was invaded. There was even a huge dragon-shaped Deadpool similar to the Deadpool leader among the group of Deadpools.

The deformation of Deadpool is not something that happened overnight. These Deadpools were originally normal people, but when Yuan Zhisheng first saw them, the degree of deformation of these Deadpools was already quite high. Only after evolving into Deadpools and consuming large amounts of protein and blood to supplement their body size could they evolve into the current body length of more than two meters.

Moreover, the number of Deadpools even exceeds two hundred. The amount of food needed to feed so many Deadpools must be extremely huge. It is impossible for them to hunt humans in the city, nor can they hunt wild beasts in the mountains, otherwise they would have been discovered long ago. The daily news headlines in Japan would be topics such as "Zombie crisis breaks out" or "Unknown creatures attack the city".

All of this points to only one possibility.
