Chapter 136 A Stable Year
What is the relationship between the sorcerer and the cursed spirit?
We are natural enemies. It's either you die or I die. There is no third way to get along harmoniously. Even the "Curse Spirit Control Technique" that once existed used techniques to enslave the defeated curse spirits. There is no possibility of reconciliation with them. At least that's what all sorcerers think.
No one knows what the relationship between Kamo Tsukiyuki and the white cursed spirit is. Perhaps he restricted it when it was unprepared and weak, or they signed some kind of contract. Or maybe Kamo Tsukiyuki was just its puppet, and it was its own intention to attack the Kamo family... But the last possibility is very small, because it was only Kamo Tsukiyuki who was talking from beginning to end, and they were all defeated later, and it did not reveal its true face.
Kenji Kamo hurried through the corridor. He was wearing a loose traditional Japanese kimono, and the wooden clogs on his feet made a slightly anxious "tapping" sound as they stepped on the floor. This is one of the few side houses that have been preserved in the clan. Although it is not big, it can still accommodate only one-third of the clan members who are still alive. Most of those who died that night were from the main lineage and those loyal to them. Some who had fled to the side at the beginning survived.
Kamo Kenshin's identity is somewhat special. He is a third-year student at the Kyoto Prefectural School of Jutsu. This time he returned home to visit his father, the head of the Kamo family of this generation. He was born to a concubine, and because the wife's children did not inherit the bloodline, he became the so-called "direct descendant".
But now, this identity that originally brought him a lot of respect and recognition has brought him only indifference and speculation. He walked through the corridor, and the two clan members who were originally talking quickly turned around and left when they saw him coming, which was in stark contrast to the situation after he inherited the position of "legitimate son". He was slightly distracted, but quickly collected himself.
He waited respectfully at the door, and waited until someone inside opened it before he went in respectfully to pay his respects. His behavior did not at all resemble that of a man whose father and brother had been murdered; his manners and posture were perfect, and there was nothing wrong with him.
Kamo Tsukuyuki was a young man who was only slightly older than him, but no one had ever paid attention to him before that day. His bloodline was of the thinnest kind, and his parents died when he was young. After that, the clan didn't take much care of him, allowing him to take on exorcism missions and survive with difficulty. People like him usually died in a mission, and no body was left.
It should have been so, but unfortunately, these were the "background" after Pei Zhen's vest was created. Everything turned upside down after he stood up from the mud.
"Lord Yuexing." He knelt on the ground and saluted politely, keeping his eyes on the ground, not daring to look at the man above and the white curse spirit.
Kamo Tsukuyuki smiled. He had changed into a new, more solemn outfit today. His pair of black pupils shone like glass. His eyes were narrow and indifferent. It was not known whether it was because he had massacred the high-level members of the Kamo family, but Kamo Kenji felt that he had an aura that was not appropriate for his age. He sat above the main hall, his posture casual. The sound of bamboo and water hitting each other came from outside the house, which startled Xianji's heart.
"Are you a student of Jujutsu High School?" Kamo Tsukuyuki asked slowly, his right hand fiddling with a bell. After the main body created him, it threw a lot of things into his vest. In addition to [Spirit Bird], there is also a basic [Tungsten Iron·Skill] [Hundred Weapons] self-defense skill, [Tungsten Iron·Miscellaneous] [Cursed Dagger] that he can use, and the bell was also given to him for fun, but he thinks the most important thing is the next [Tungsten Iron·Skill] [Scientific Research Expert]. Thinking of his current goal, he had a premonition that this skill was as important to him as [Tungsten Iron·Skill] [Commander] was to Isabel. It was an indispensable core skill.
"Yes." Kamo Kenji replied. He didn't know why this person asked such a question. Thinking of his classmates outside, he became worried.
"The Kamo family has already closed off communication with the outside world," Kamo Yuexing said softly, "The fifth elder went to a gathering of high-level members of the Jujutsu world the day before yesterday. They were all very curious about the changes in our family... If you go out, you will probably be the first ordinary member of the family to walk out of here. But now, I don't think it's time for you to communicate with the outside world."
"Life in the Jujutsu High School is not necessary," Kamo Kenji was calmer than ever before. He could feel two pairs of eyes falling on him, one of them was holding a scrutinizing smile, coming from a human, while the other was strangely cold, as if looking at food. They overlapped and fell on his skin, causing countless goose bumps.
He said quickly: "The former family head sent me there just to show his attitude to the son of God of the Gojo family. We are not completely excluding other sorcerers. The three families can communicate with the outside world..."
No matter how stubborn a family is, it will learn to bend under the threat of such power. After all, survival is the top priority. They look down on everyone, but they will respect the will of the strong.
"I went to Jujutsu High School to build connections and increase the influence of my Kamo family," Kamo Kenji's mind had never been so fast as it was at this moment. He fell to the ground and said, "But the Kamo family is everything!" He suddenly strengthened his tone and said, "In the face of the survival of the family, those things are nothing! If I go out and it will have an impact on the family, I am willing to drop out of the high school completely! From now on, I will never contact those people again!"
He didn't know if what he said was useful, but in this situation, maybe it was better for them not to communicate with those people. He did not stand up, but listened quietly to the verdict from above. After a while, when he was getting extremely anxious, he heard the man slowly say, "Drop out of school? No, there's no need to do that."
He walked down from the top, his loose hem covering his thin ankles. The white curse spirit also moved and followed him. He whispered, "You seem very nervous about your classmates. Did you gain friendship outside?"
Without waiting for his answer, Kamo Tsukiyuki said, "You don't have to worry about what I will do to them. Have you forgotten that the son of God from the Gojo family is over there?"
"Besides, I'm not that crazy." The second young man after the Gojo family to control another of the three great families said with a sigh, "The blockade of the Kamo family is actually for your own good. The weak jackals should be most afraid of the wild dogs that used to follow them and the other jackals that have always been 'with us'."
Regardless of whether what he said at this moment made sense or not, Kamo Kenji would only fully agree with him.
"It's amazing, isn't it?" He suddenly smiled. "If I walked out of the Kamo family now, I would become the most vicious villain wanted by the entire magic world, but I stayed. Everything I did became the internal affairs of this family, and they had no room to interfere."
Kamo Kenji was silent. Yue Xing comforted him, "I still have things to do, so don't worry, I have no intention of making an enemy of the entire curse world."
"But I thought you would resist." Kamo Tsukiyuki approached with interest: "For this reason, I also specially investigated your mother. She asked to leave for you. She is a woman who loves you very much. This kind of relationship is really rare in such a family."
He also went out of his way to look at the words and deeds of the big villains in movies and TV shows, and rehearsed what he should do.
Kamo Kenji felt dizzy, and he was suddenly very glad for his previous choice. He kowtowed and said, "Please don't hurt her. I will obey any of your orders."
Only now did he realize that compared to the things he had previously thought were important, his mother was actually everything to him.
"I'm glad you understand." Putting away the excitement in his words, Kamo Tsukiyuki returned to his calmness: "You don't have to drop out of school, just take a year off. There will be a chance to meet them again in the future."
He made a judgment on the future of Kenji Kamo. Kenji Kamo had no intention of resisting. He lowered his head and accepted it.
The Kamo family is not completely silent. They still have many industries in the outside world, and countless people from its branches are distributed in the world of sorcery like blood vessels. If they are disturbed, the entire world of sorcery will be seriously damaged. But no one could have imagined that such a deeply rooted family would suffer an unprecedented overthrow within a day and its "head" would be replaced.
Someone is maintaining the most basic stability. There is news coming out of the clan, and some people have appeared, but they remain silent about what happened inside. All we heard is that the head of the family has been replaced. It was fine at first, but as time went on, rumors began to spread in the magic world.
"It is said that a rebellion broke out in the Kamo family. The people in the branch could no longer tolerate the oppression of the main branch. After enduring for decades, they finally rebelled on that day!"
"No, I heard that it was because the elders of their family secretly conducted some unknown taboo research, which later went out of control and gave birth to countless monsters that massacred the family. In order to prevent these monsters from going out to slaughter humans, they sealed their own clan land at the last minute."
"Neither. I have a rumor that the head of the Kamo family had an illegitimate child outside. The woman was from the Zenin family. In order to usurp the position, she led the Anbu to the Kamo family to ask for an explanation. As a result, the two sides fought and it got completely out of control in the end!"
"You are talking nonsense!"
…………
No matter what speculations the outside world had, and no matter how many eyes were always watching this strange family, Kamo Tsukiyuki never took any action.
The Kamo family is indeed a thousand-year-old family. There are vast amounts of research books on sorcery, and he can even find some of the oldest versions of historical records among them. The exploration of cursed power has never stopped. They are not as good as the Gojo family in having the "Six Eyes" bloodline, nor as good as the Zenin family in having the "Ten Kage" inheritance, but they can become the third family on par with them, so naturally they have their own advantages.
He eagerly supplemented his gaps in knowledge about the world of sorcery.
