84 Noah ‘Jackson’

Not too far from the human territory where they live within the walls which keep the spirit beasts from getting to them, Shadow brought Noah back safely.

Letting him get down from her back he sat on the ground with a bewildered look on his face. "So are you going to let me live?"

There was no change on the deers face as she looked at him, she responded to him as her childlike voice sounded in his head. "There is no reason to kill you, in fact we can be of help to one another. Think of this as a deal, you gain the chance to grow stronger and accomplish your dreams while you occasionally listen to my requests or orders. I will not ask anything beyond your power or means but there will be danger to your life at times."

"It's not like I have a choice do I?" Noah sighed.

"I picked you because you seem smart enough to understand the situation and act accordingly. You want to survive in this world you will eventually have to give something up in order to get what you wish, be it love, friendship, family, status, money, health. In your case you lose your freedom but you will also gain a great deal of things in return. I am sure whatever future plans you have may come back to harm your loved ones so I suggest sending them to me for safe keeping." Shadows voice spoke calmly but almost tempting in Noah's mind.

"Why should I trust you?" Noah looked at Shadow with a look of distrust.

The deer let out a sigh in his mind and spoke again. "You have no choice, I already know your next course of actions and your past. The enemy you face is a ruthless character, if he cannot control you then he will look into your past and use your loved ones to make you submit to him. Even if you are his son I do not think he would show any kind of mercy."

"How do you know who I am?" He had a shocked look on his face.

"I have already placed a seal on you, I briefly looked into your memories so I know your past and from that I can guess what kind of ideas you have towards avenging your mother." The voice calmly explained.

"Fine I accept your conditions, what is it you want?" He finally gave up and decided to accept his fate.

"Publicly announce your birthright as his heir and infiltrate his family. Publicly he will not be able to touch you but beware of assassination attempts, poisoned food and drink or means of seduction. All carry dangers in their own way and these may be the ways he will deal with you in the dark, while he maintains his bright and upright status to everyone else he will privately be trying to apply pressure to you or get rid of you. What I need are spirit beast cores, humans have hunted spirit beast cores for many years so they will have a large supply so acquire as many as possible, preferably high level ones. As for the family business try to get access to their slave trading operation, bring the slaves out of the walls to me. They are destined to be abused and used by others, most will die early so it may be better if I can put them to use. If I take any with me I will trade for spirit herbs or weapons, as for the leftover slaves you can make use of them as your subordinates to infiltrate other families homes." The voice spoke again.

"You do realise that in order to accomplish something like this it will take a lot of work." His voice sounded worried.

"That is why there can be no mistakes and you must be without any weaknesses. You must also be able to enter his family without him finding out your true goal." The girlish voice spoke again. "Sometimes truth mixed with lies will work best to relax an enemies guard against you, mask your true emotions with a smile and never let your enemy see your true end goal until it has been completed by masking your true intent with small actions which lead to a different goal. If you understand what I mean?"

"Yes I do." He struggled with his thoughts for sometime before finally coming to a decision. "Fine, I will bring the others out of the walls soon after informing them about of the danger they may face."

"Good" Shadow nodded her head to Noah before passing on parts of information into his mind. "You will be exposed to many dangers so the 'Myriad Poison Art' will be most suitable for your physique, it helps build up resistance and immunity to different poisons and venom. In fact if you consume poisons in the future they will act more as a tonic to increase your strength once you gain a higher mastery of it. There is also a hidden weapon manual and a movement technique which should suit you, study them seriously as they may save your life one day."

Noah nodded his head before heading towards the city gates and entering the human territory once more.

Shadow passed onto him the martial arts of an old thief of the immortal realm, the old man could freely enter into most large families territories, steal some valuables before escaping without being noticed.

He was also attribute less like Noah but was able to roam about freely and offend a great many people because of his deeds.

Unfortunately not too long after he was reported to have been captured after the families staged a trap for him to walk into leading to his death.

Shadow's sect once helped to heal his injuries once and gained his cultivation manual and movement technique as payment, although they kept them in storage and never used at least now someone could use his techniques and pass them on to later generations.

The extra information on hidden weapons Shadow added because she believed they would compliment the movement and cultivation techniques when used by Noah.

Shortly after Noah returned with his friend and her family and they had no choice but to follow his request to follow Shadow much to their confusion.

After seeing his loved ones off Noah returned to the human territory and walked towards a large gate which belonged to the Jackson family.

He paused before the gate and gazed beyond it, his eyes turned red with rage and hate.

After his small leak of emotions he remembered Shadows advice, he closed his eyes and took a deep breath calming himself.

His lips curved upwards to display a fox-like grin, making others unable to guess whether he held animosity or goodwill towards them.

Knocking on the gate he spoke loudly so that all those passing by were able to hear him. "Noah Jackson reporting to return home as the Jackson clan heads son. Please inform the clan head of my existence and my intentions to enter the clan officially."

Shortly after word spread throughout the Moonlight Country to every corner, a public blood testing ceremony was held for all to see.

Confirming the clan heads blood resonated with Noah's blood during the ceremony everyone congratulated the clan head on gaining an heir, meanwhile he the clan head was indeed incredibly suspicious and unhappy as predicted.
