"Who are you? How dare you break in here at such a serious moment!" Akechi Asuya, the head of the Kanto branch in the row in front, stood up and asked Uesugoshi who was standing at the door.
This shrine will only be held when major events occur in the Sheqi family or when a year is concluded. This is the most sacred place for the entire Sheqi family.
All the members of the Sheqi Eight Families who are qualified to participate in the shrine meeting have great respect for this. They wear the most solemn kimonos, uphold the oldest yakuza etiquette, and come with respect.
But at this moment, there was a disheveled man pushing open the door of the shrine in the rain, and looking at everyone present with such disrespectful eyes, which was unforgivable.
Uesugoshi did not answer Meiji Asaya's question, his eyes fell on the interior decoration of this shrine.
The inner wall is covered with Ukiyo-e paintings, which are carefully and skillfully painted. A battle between demons and gods is vividly depicted in it. The eyes of the ghosts shine brightly in the candlelight, and they look fiercely at everyone who looks directly at this painting. people.
Familiar, all this is so familiar in Uesugoshi's memory, after all, this is the place where he has lived for decades.
After briefly recalling the past, in the quiet atmosphere of the shrine, Uesugoshi finally turned his attention to Akechi Asiya, but instead of answering his question, he praised him.
"I am very happy that the eight Sheqi families, which have been dilapidated for decades, still have people who respect the tradition so much."
Uesugoshi walked in, his wet shoes leaving a series of marks on the waxed floor of the shrine, and the sound of the "creaking" of the wooden boards resounded in everyone's ears.
"But I don't like the tone in which you speak to me. Remember to change it next time."
Uesugi Yue was like an emperor, casually giving instructions to him, his attitude was extremely casual, making everyone present feel that Uesugi Yue Yue was giving instructions to a dog.
"Seeking death." Akechi Asaya's eyes narrowed, and his golden pupils opened instantly. He rushed towards Uesugoshi at an extraordinary speed, using his palm as a blade, trying to cut off Uesugoshi's head with one blow.
"If you regret it, leave it to Hell and Death." Akechi Asaya's figure turned into an afterimage, his golden pupils filled with anger towards Uesugoshi.
Uesugoshi's fine hair covered his eyes, and those present could not see his expression clearly at this moment.
Of course, the heads of the family didn't care about this mixed race who suddenly broke in. They were just shocked at first by his disrespect for the shrine meeting.
But Akechi Asaya's attack was so close that Uesugi had no reaction yet.
This means that he is just a mixed race with some strength but not much. I don't know why he managed to break through the defenses of people outside the shrine.
But no matter what, he was about to become a corpse, and a corpse was not worthy of their attention.
But Tachibana Masamune, who was sitting on a high seat in the center, stared carefully at Uesugi Koshi, whose expression was unclear, and a hint of solemnity flashed in his old eyes.
"Hahaha..." A burst of laughter came, making everyone present frown, and the source of this laughter was Uesugi Koshi who was standing there unable to see his expression.
"It seems that I haven't appeared for a long time. Now even a dog dares to attack me. How disrespectful!" Uesugoshi's laughter stopped suddenly, followed by his volcano-like anger.
An invisible underworld overlord's aura suddenly spread around, pressing on everyone's hearts, making them feel their breathing suddenly become heavy.
The next moment, Akechi Asaya, who was about to cut off Uesugoshi's head, suddenly stopped, like a machine that was forced to shut down, staying in the air in an extremely stiff posture.
And the initiator of all this was the disheveled man in front of him.
At the last moment, Uesugoshi grabbed Akechi Asaya's neck, as easily as an eagle catches a chicken. He grabbed Akechi Asaya and lifted him into the air.
With a slight exertion of his palm, he heard a "clicking" sound coming from Akechi Asaya's neck. His face instantly turned blue, like a person about to drown.
He grabbed Uesugi's hand with both hands, trying to break it open with strength, but in front of Uesugi's tyrannosaurus-like strength, all these useless attempts were like a joke.
"Life is a treasure. It is extremely long for the wise, but it is extremely short for stupid people like you." Uesugoshi's voice was contemptuous.
He did not choose to kill Akechi Asaya, but threw him aside like a piece of garbage. The heavy object fell to the floor with a "bang" and then rolled several times before stopping.
"But you are very lucky. There are children here today, so it is not easy to see blood, so I will let you live."
"But remember, a dog must behave like a dog and don't bark indiscriminately in front of its owner, otherwise you don't know when it will lose its life."
Uesugoshi's contemptuous attitude aroused everyone's anger. The head of the Fuma family, Fuma Kotaro, stood up first.
As the former leader of the five foreign families and the head of the fighting organization Feng Mo Family, he should stand up to fight against the enemy at this moment. When he stood up, a golden light suddenly bloomed in his old eyes.
And those who stood up with him were the elites of the eight Sheqi families behind him and in the next few rows. Their golden pupils also lit up together, like a fierce pack of wolves, trying to gnaw at Uesugoshi in the middle. Eat all the food.
"If you want to show off your power at the Sheqi Hachi Shrine meeting, then I can only tell you that you are in the wrong place, and the price you need to pay for this is your life."
The old eyes of Fuma Kotaro were staring straight at Uesugi Koshi standing in the center. His eyes contained the calmness of an old man and the ruthlessness of being the king of wolves.
What followed might have been a fierce battle, but in fact, this did not happen, because the leader, Masamune Nagatachibana, spoke out to prevent the battle from breaking out.
"Parents, there is no need to be in a fighting position, he is not our enemy." The words from the parents' mouth, Masamune Nagatachibana, aroused everyone's doubts and stopped the imminent battle.
Everyone looked at the patriarch in the center with puzzled eyes, wanting to get an answer from him.
And Tachibana Masamune also told them the truth in the following words.
"Master Uesugi is not our enemy. As you can probably tell from the name, Mr. Uesugi has a close relationship with the Uesugi family."
Tachibana Masamune's words are groundbreaking. The eight Sheqi families adhere to a very ancient family system, and the status of the head of the family is so respected that the younger generation usually don't even have the opportunity to meet Mr. Tachibana Masamune.
Even the seniors, the adults in charge of a branch and the heads of various families with respected status, all respected Mr. Tachibana Masamune with utmost respect.
And now Mr. Tachibana Masamune actually calls this disrespectful person Mr. Uesugi, how can this not shock them.
Masamune Tachibana did not stop because of everyone's shock. He continued, "Lord Uesugi was the head of the Uesugi family in the past, and he was also the last emperor of our eight Sheki families, the Shadow Emperor."
"And what I urgently want to inform each of the eight Sheqi families is that since the former emperor of the eight Sheqi families is back, I, who should not have occupied this position, are also prepared to abdicate."
"Let the most qualified Mr. Uesugi become the new head of the family."
After Tachibana Masamune's words fell, the entire shrine fell silent. At this time, even the faint breathing could be heard.
"I don't agree!" At this moment, a voice came from the head of the family's seat. It was not Kotaro Fuma, the head of the Fuma family who stood up before, but Ga Inuyama, the head of the Inuyama family who had been sitting there like a mascot.
Other family heads had the same idea as Inuyama Ga, but what they didn't know was why Inuyama Ga opposed this idea so fiercely and firmly.
Inuyamaga stood up. He was also an old man left over from World War II. Although his hair was dyed silver-grey, his old eyes were as sharp as swords, piercing Uesugi.
"Why don't you agree?" Uesugoshi was a little curious at the moment. He didn't understand why the white-haired Inuyama family in front of him was against him.
"Because you don't deserve it." Inuyama He only replied with a simple sentence, looking at Uesugoshi with eyes filled with hatred.
The anger of this hatred is so intense that anyone who sees Inuyama Ga's gaze can feel it personally, but this is even more surprising. When did the seemingly amiable head of the Inuyama family, Inuyama Ga, have any hatred for this strange head of the Uesugi family? .
But now that Inuyama He has expressed his attitude, the heads of other families have also expressed their attitudes in turn, "We all disagree. You are the best patriarch in our hearts."
Uesugoshi was not angry when he heard their similar opinions, or even showed too many other emotions.
Because he knows that in the Sheqi Ba family, words are weak, and only the weak will rely on weak words to seek benefits for themselves.
As a strong man, the only thing he needs to rely on is his own strength, and then he can use this power to snatch away their interests from the weak. This is the true law of the eight Sheqi families that has not changed since ancient times.
As for himself, he is a hopeless strong man, but unfortunately, these people are just incompetent weaklings.
"Oh, tell me why I don't deserve to be the patriarch. If it makes sense, I might consider saving your life." Uesugoshi was not in a hurry to regain the position of the patriarch.
The position regained like that is just an empty shell, which has no effect at all, and cannot play any role in Lu Mingfei's plan.
He will use unparalleled power to suppress them and let these family heads understand the truth that power is always greater than words. Only then will the eight Sheqi families be under his control.
