Story[]
Sei Kyou's Rebellion Arc[]
Jo Kan, a member of the clan, was sent to kill Ei Sei a year prior but failed as he was defeated an unknown servant boy named Shin and was killed by the young king.
Assassination Plot Arc[]
Three of their members are seen killing officials in the Qin capital of Kanyou before heading to the meeting at which other assassin clans were present. Upon hearing of the Shiyuu in their midst, they checked to see if it was the real one before kneeling to the person. They arrived in the palace alongside Kyou Kai to take the king's head and upon seeing Shin, recognize him as the one who killed Jo Kan. Looking to make up that failure, one of them launches himself at Shin only to be cut down by the boy.
As they observe Kyou Kai fighting Shin, they are shocked when she balances herself on his blade. Clan Gouma sneaks up from behind and kills the second member, leaving En Tei as the sole survivor as he duels with one of the Gouma before stabbing him through the chest with his sword. En Tei escapes capture and meets with Kyou Kai, calling her sword greater than what the legends say. He offers to aid her in any way possible, but she refuses while also telling the clan leader to focus on his clan instead. En Tei simply bows and departs for his village.
