After nearly two weeks of traveling through the Kunlun Mountains and fighting with unfriendly weather as snowstorms, coldness, and avalanches, Lucien managed to reach the place where was Ancestral Site of the Shi Xue Clan located. He walked for another hour until he finally arrived at the place. When he saw that mountain and noticed that forces of Washuu Clan created fortification he was surprised but he smiled faintly, at coming bloodshed.Ancestral Site of the Shi Xue Clan was located in the mountain before him. Leading there was a small entrance, which looked like the entrance to some cave. But it was apparent that this was complete building complex a long time ago, as parts of stones and pillars were everywhere around and even snow couldn"t hide them.
Lucien counted more a hundred people, but what surprised him was fact that majority, if not of them, were mercenaries. Probably all agents of Vasuki and members of the Washuu Clan were already in the ruins searching for the inheritance of the Shi Xue Clan.
"Now it would be much easier to get into the ruins."
Thought Lucien in his mid. Because the majority of people guarding the entrance were only B-rated or rated mercenaries, Lucien could slaughter them in seconds and get into ruins in no time. He started congealing one kagune weapon after another.
Soon all of them shot, and again blood scene, from several days ago repeated. Same as the first time, mercenaries which were weak as ant and could serve as cannon fodder only, fell one after another. Soon the white snow turned b.l.o.o.d.y red, as their blood was created rivers.
Lucien walked to the entrance, but when he was in the middle of the camp, which fortified the entrance, surprise waited there for him. Lucien received the same one some time ago. The old man, wearing the kimono with the symbol of the Washuu Clan walked out of the tent. Katana was handing at his waist and he was already gripping it with his hand.
"Did you like the show, Elder? Forgive my rudeness, my name if Lucien Etras di Aeon, heir of the Etras di Aeon House."
Said, Lucien, as he bowed to the old man, as the form of greeting. Elder look at him with indifferent face and scanned him from toe to head.
"My name is Washuu Tsuneyashi, Elder of the Washuu Clan."
Said old man, as he bowed in the same manner as Lucien. Greeting him in return. This was a common courtesy between n.o.bility.
"It seems that you still haven"t succeeded in acquiring the inheritance of the Shi Xue Clan. How fortunate, for me. Don"t worry after your death another of your clansmen would follow shortly, Elder."
When he finished the sentence, his kakugan turned on and he immediately congealed on kagune katana, which he gripped in his right hand. Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi nodded his head and also gripped his katana, ready to attack at any time.
"Yes, we didn"t succeed yet, but soon we will. Then in the future, even your clan won"t be match for the Washuu Clan and your House would disappear from the light of the world, just like the Shi Xue Clan."
Hearing this Lucien started to grow mad but he was doing his best to keep calm. He knew that as he was trying to provoke the Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi, the Elder was doing the same thing. To provoke opponent.
Suddenly both of them disappeared from places where they stood, and their swords clashed creating sparks in the air. This time Lucien wasn"t planning to contest with pure Kenjutsu and he was using his telekinesis too. When they were still locked in the clash, two kagune daggers shot at Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi out of nowhere.
Last time when he was fighting against Elder of the Washuu Clan, Elder Washuu Tsunemoro, he was using just his Kenjutsu to fight, because he wanted to. Now the situation was different and more dangerous, as Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi was more dangerous and stronger for sure.
Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi managed to dodge both kagune daggers but he was still injured slightly by them. Nothing serious just two cuts, but it was still something. Lucien used the opportunity created by this, and attacked Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi who just barely managed to regain his composure, precise slash was already aimed at his head.
Unfortunately, Lucien"s attack was blocked by the elder, but Lucien used this, and as Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi was blocking Lucien"s attack, he kicked him from his full strength, sending him flying several meters.
Lucien followed Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi and with one precise attack, which wasn"t blocked properly by the Elder, Lucien pierced his shoulder through. Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi groaned from pain as his shoulder was pierced, and Lucien congealed kagune dagger in his hand, swiftly slashing his neck before he could do something.
Lucien searched surroundings a little, storing all bodies inside his Cross Crest, Charles Patricius: Our Transient Glory, in the special room. He also stored some weapons and ammunition. Then he went to the tent, from whose Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi walked out. When he entered he noticed that the tent was his, cause there were some luxurious things, as watched and even bed.
He walked to the table and searched through papers that were on it, for some important pieces of information. He found out that the Washuu Clan was in the last parts of excavation of the ruins and they should already be accessing the Ancestral Site of the Shi Xue Clan.
This was a piece of rather good news because Washuu Clan still didn"t enter the Ancestral Site of the Shi Xue Clan. Lucine would consider is as heresy for the blood traitors to enter Holy Ground, of the n.o.ble House of the East, Shi Xue Clan.
He spent ten more minutes searching the tent of Elder Washuu Tsuneyashi, before turning around and walking out. He wanted to enter the ruins already and started to clean them from the filth inside.
