67 Another down (1/2)
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 A-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 bloody 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 nobility.
”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.”
