章節 69: I'm her son!

After I arrive in Glory city I thought to myself what clan I should join. There are three major families in Glory city.

The Snow Wind Family which is the most powerful of the three major families of Glory City. Much of their power can be attributed to the fact that Glory City's sole Legend rank demon spiritualist is a member of their family. They are also one of the oldest, as their family is a branch of the Thunder Family. The Thunder Family was the family of one of the five legend rank demon spiritualists, that founded Glory City.

The Snow Wind Family has had the title of City Lord for the last five generations. A large part of the reason they were able to stay the strongest is their willingness to adopt talented commoners into their family. The current legend rank demon spiritualist, Ye Mo was one of these.

The Divine Family is the wealthiest of the three major families of Glory City. They hold a monopoly on Holy Dark Grass, which is most likely the reason for their wealth. They specialize in communicating through soul force, because of this they are often used for surveillance.

The final major family is the Sacred Family. The family is known for trying to raise its position. They were also able to acquire 80% of the family property belonging to the to the noble rank Winged Dragon Family.

I notice that the Dark guild seem to be connected Sacred Family. They met in the Sacred Family's Star Restaurant. 'this seem interesting' I took a little bit to investigate this connection. Seeing how that the Dark guild wants to destroy the Glory city there most be more to the story.

I spent a few days investigating and met up with a woman named Moon Lee that was found in The Abyss Prison Realm. She was a slave for one of the thirteen families that escaped from the demon beast riot that started the Age of Darkness the Silver Winged Family in the Blood crystal mine.

She told me her story and I ended up being her adopted son. I then told her we should escape and I asked if she wanted to go with me but she refused saying if it found there was an escape the others would be punished. So she told me to come back when I was stronger to rescue everyone. I felt a little awkward not trying to rescue her but I knew freeing someone takes more than just taking them away. Some of these people have been slaves their whole lives so they may be subservient.

I decided to then join the Sacred family. When I arrived at the Main Branch I was instantly stopped.

"Who goes there? Do you know where you are boy? We don't allow just anyone to enter here"

"I'm Shen Eros I have come seeking Shen Hong"

The guards start laughing "you? and who are do you think you are to demand to see him and besides I never seen you before its a crime to impersonate a member of our Clan.We out of teach you a lesson" Then they saw the young master appear and they stand up straight and salute

"whats going on here. Who is this peasant?"

"He seems to say he wants to talk with the Patriarch and says its important"

"huh hes the Patriacrch ?" Eros asks "wasn't the Patriacrch Shen Song?"

"...What that was the previous Patriarch..why don't you know even that. Everything about you seems suspicious"

" I can't tell you more its sensitive information. All I can tell you is I am connected to this family"

"hmm how about we let him meet father worst case he will kill him I mean. Hes seem relatively weak" Shen Fei thought maybe hes connected to the Dark guild"

***Shen Hong POV***

My Son told me some boy named Shen Eros wants to meet me. That stupid son of mine only knows how to get girls pregnant causing massive headache for me. Everything I've done he puts in jeopardy pleasing his Lust as for Shen Yue he is just a coward and naive. He seems to not understand the working of politics and lacks talent. I have to use all my means to get him ready.

'Fei'er my prideful,arrogant son. Why did you bring this boy to me. Are you that arrogant you don't think about the repercussions? What if he was an assassin or a spy. If you weren't her son I'd disown both of you.'

"I am Shen Hong the Patriarch of the Sacred Family. Who are you? I was informed that you seem to be connected to me but I have never seen you before. "

'the boy in front of me is wearing a sleeveless haori with a green sash around his shoulders, held together by a round, star-like clip. The sash holds his sword sheath in place on his back and is tied to it at either end. He also has tabi on. (looking like this https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/bleach/images/8/8a/Episode_363_Hitsugaya_1.png/revision/latest?cb=20120306193809&path-prefix=en)

"Patriarch Shen Hong I have something to give you" the boy gives a box to Ming and he brings it to me. I open it and I almost fainted. Inside is the necklace of my dead wife. She said it was her family heirloom.

"h-h-how d-do you ha ve this ? Who are you"

"oh didn't I tell you I'm the son of Moon Lee"

"IMPOSSIBLE GUARDS TAKE THIS PERSON" I am so angry now. I grit my teeth in anger at this boy claiming to be Lee'er son. Ha hes the same age as Yue'er how can that be. I will torture this boy for what hes said

"Mother survived! She is still alive. Whom do you think that came from "

"That that can't be I know its a lie"

"that necklace is proof isn't it"

I cant believe him that is impossible.. If that was true how did she survive and why didn't he return with him.

When I was growing up my best friend was Ye Zong who is now the city lord of Glory City. We used to do everything together but one day I notice a discrepancy between us.It wasn't our talent because we were similar in that. He wouldn't work as hard as I did but he would advance at the same rate as I. Then I asked him and he bragged

"oh its because my father is a Legendary specialist. He so I receive all the finest medicine and books to help me grow. Its great to be the child of the city lord. I will become one in the future too. Haha I just have to maintain my training and I get rewarded. The only thing that sucks is father is always telling me to work harder. He sometimes makes me go out with him. I rather focus on that girl over there. Shes the most beautiful girl in the school. Father has arranged us to get married"

Something inside of me cracked. You are bragging about getting all the medicine you want. Anyone else would kill for that. You also are engaged to her. I had feelings for her and you are stealing her before I ever gotten her. You don't even know her...And what do you mean you will get the city position I wont let you get it. The worst thing is you are complaining about getting trained by your father my father doesn't train me...I understand now

"I wont allow you to become the city lord. I will get become it first"

"heh its my destiny to become the city lord. You can just become clan leader or whatever.."

That was the beginning of our rivalry.

for years we competed but I felt more cracks forming inside but then I met her. Moon Lee. She was as beautiful as Zong's wife and had a playful personality. She calmed my heart. I started to not care about Zong and his stuff. I would rather just settle down with her. Fighting for the clan head position sounded like a bother. My family opposed our marriage but I still found a way to marry her. Life was good I became the clan Patriarch and had a son Shen Fei.

A few years later once Shen Yue was born Ye Zong appeared before me asking for help. He was investigating something and may be able to lead to advancement. but it would require some Black Gold rank Demon specialist and seeing how Lee'er and I are and I'm his friend he asked for us to go join him.

That was my biggest mistake. We encountered a Demon beast that manipulates minds. We ended up splitting up and Ye Zong confused Moon Lee with a Demon beast and knocks her off a cliff. He apologizes saying it was a accident. I wanted to climb down. However he told me it was too late and we fought and I lost and went unconscious. I woke up in the Sacred Family home. It took several months for him to visit me... At first I was shocked then sad, then I knew it was a accident but after seven months he came he apologizes and said that his wife had a daughter...something broke inside of me. I wanted to have him suffer. I hid my emotion...I treated him distant.

I hated him. I wanted to have him suffer. I didn't realize I wasn't the only one. One day the Demon Lord agent appeared before me. He told me that Moon Lee was the last remaining descendant of the Demon Lord adopted father. From then we started to work together. The first thing he did was poison Ye Zong wife. I wanted more power so I had to become ruthless. Kindness wont get you anywhere. I learned that through the Demon Lord. I got benefits from working for him and once my clan begin getting benefits they started to happily work with them too.

But it wasn't enough I wanted to take everything from him. So I used my last card to get Ye Zong power. I told him I will forgive him if he marries his daughter with my son and from there we are just city lord and Sacred Family head. He says if their relationship develops .

I heard that Ye Ziyun is going to the fighters class so Yue'er is going to use that time to get closer to her... Everything was going well till this guy..

"Tell me...Eros if you are who you say you are how come this Moon Lee who you say is your mother didn't come with you"

"We were slaves" he then told me what he went through. He was the adoptive son raised by her and she took care of him throughout the years. One day he gave his remaining food to a starving old man. He gave all his food to this old man multiple times and then the old man said he was pleased with him and he turned out to be a expert and transferred his knowledge to Eros and he inherit his will. Now Eros has cultivation techniques and abilities but he can't use most of it. He told his adoptive mother and he has found a way to leave, but she refused saying that if she left the others would be get punished and he was to weak to take all of them so she gave him the necklace and told him to find me

I was speechless a slave! Abyss Prison Realm... Then if what he tells me is true then"is is she...did they ever take her away and.." I had to ask this question

He thanks for a moment "oh no they didn't do that. For them they look down on us so no they didn't

"phew. wait how did you escape"

"Oh this " he hands me a knife"this is a Technique called Hiraishin no Jutsu or Flying Thunder God Technique" he then explains it "Before the Flying Thunder God Technique can be performed, users must first mark a target with their technique formula. The formula is applied after the merest touch and cannot be removed; it will remain in place even after the user has died. There is seemingly no limit to how many targets can be marked with technique formulas.

By entering a dimensional void, users can instantly teleport to a technique formula's location whenever they please, regardless of distance. Anything that the user is holding, contacting, or that is linked with their soul force will teleport with them, but this requires additional Soul force to do; particularly large objects can require so much Soul force as to place a limit on how far away the user is able to teleport.

The technique is dangerous and there is a high chance of dying using it. As for how I got out. The old master had one set up to leave but it was through a barrier if I failed to get through..."

He then shows me and I'm shocked I want to learn that technique but he informs me of the negative and I realize its better not to use it. We begin to talk and I realize he is smart and he is talented, no that is a understatement. He has a Indigo soul realm. He then told me he has a two Demon Spirit linked to him a Monkey God and a Cupid God.

I taken a interest in this boy we talked and talked for hours and he even has ways to improve this my cultivation...I decided to adopt him as my son.

My next goal is to get her but he warned me that they are all strong.. they have many Legend Rank Experts...plus they have soul bonds on the slaves...

I have to also inform Ye Zong of him...I'll just say he is a illegitimate child.
