Fang Yu was astonished.
He had not expected possessing Ordinary Blood to be like this.
The vampire’s abilities had no effect on her whatsoever.
No wonder Fred couldn’t do anything to her; once Xu Zhaopei got angry, she turned into a tigress.
Stripping Fred of his vampire status, Xu Zhaopei, with her Martial Arts Sixth Layer, could beat him to a pulp!
With that thought,
Fang Yu shivered, not knowing whether his Divine Dragon Technique would work against Ordinary Blood.
He would have to try it when he had the chance.
Fred stood up and said, "Leave him to me... He has overheard my secret; I cannot let him live. This is a Breaking Magic Ring; it can break through restrictions."
Fang Yu caught the ring, nodded, and said,
"Take care of yourself. We’re leaving."
Xu Zhaopei tossed a bag of blood to him and quickly followed after him.
...
Meanwhile,
In Huaxia, Jiangzhou.
Standing on the rooftop of a building in a certain neighborhood, Chen Daotian looked over the city, hands behind his back.
The sky was overcast, and rain drizzled...
At that moment, a Dark Web brother came up from behind and said with clasped hands, "Hall Master Chen, after our brothers investigated, we’ve found that the number of vampires is increasing. They are active in major cities such as Jiangzhou and Yanjing... gathering every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday to carry out massive slaughters. They call this event a Killing Feast... What should we do now?"
Hearing this,
Chen Daotian snorted coldly and said, "How are the brothers in the various branches doing?"
"All branches are standing by, not making a move without orders from the higher-ups. The number of casualties is increasing every day... The police and military are gradually unable to hold up, requesting our support as soon as possible. This kind of infiltrative slaughter doesn’t allow us to use weapons of mass destruction!"
"Hmm, I understand... How about the silverware purchased by the Dark Web?" asked Chen Daotian.
"Reporting to the Hall Master, it’s almost handled... as per your command, we’ve melted all the silverware down to forge it into silver daggers, at a rate of one for every two Dark Web brothers."
"Good!"
Chen Daotian laughed, "It’s time to strike back... Notify everyone to arm themselves and start the hunting operation. As for how to kill vampires, I will inform everyone in the core WeChat group."
"Yes!"
Suddenly, Jiangzhou was stir into action.
The low-rank vampires rampaging everywhere began to face encirclement and suppression by Dark Web members across various locations.
With their weaknesses exposed, the Dark Web members became invincible, effectively becoming guardians of the major cities.
...
In Huaxia, in a certain room,
A man with profound eyes, curly black hair, dressed in a long robe from the Western Regions, stood like a falcon on the balcony.
"Prince Haley... The Blood Emperor has ordered you to complete the task as soon as possible and to kill the Jiangzhou Iron Fist King at your earliest convenience," said a respectful person from behind.
"It’s all nonsense... Up until now, the entire Blood Clan’s intelligence network still can’t locate this Iron Fist King. Who do you want me to kill?"
Prince Haley suddenly turned, glaring at the man.
The man shivered all over.
But he still stammered, "The Blood Emperor said, the Iron Fist King deeply loves his wife... We can threaten him with his family to force him to show up."
"More nonsense! The Ye Family in Yanjing has many cultivators emerging, and the Fang Family in Jiangzhou is protected by many first-rate cultivators with powers reaching the Supreme Heavenly Rank. What surprises me is that these people almost all possess silver weapons. This means the Blood Clan’s weaknesses have been exposed... Are you sure the Blood Emperor’s intelligence is accurate?"
Prince Haley frowned.
These past few days he had been trying to find Fang Yu by every means possible, even thinking about threats, but the security of the Fang Family was flawless, leaving no opportunities.
"""
"Your Highness, if the Iron Fist King continues to decline an appearance, then please join us in this massacre feast... The Eastern Cultivators have always had an irreconcilable feud with the various clans of the Western Regions. Some Eastern Cultivators have started to take action against us these past few days. Those below Viscount rank are of no importance, but with your leadership, our process of slaughter will be greatly accelerated... By then, Tiandu Mountain will surely not turn a blind eye!"
Upon hearing this, Prince Haley nodded coldly, looking into the distance and said, "If he doesn’t show up for one day, I will slaughter a thousand people... two days, two thousand people... If he never appears, I will exterminate his lineage..."
...
Achoo!
In the café, Fang Yu rubbed his nose and cursed, "Which bastard is thinking about me behind my back?"
Sitting opposite him, Xu Zhaopei looked at Fang Yu with puzzlement and said, "You just said a lot, and I think I’ve almost understood it. You said this place is a gathering spot for vampires, and you’re here to find the Curse Root, not to look for me. I can accept all of this... but you said the Kunlun Sect and Penglai Sect are the bad guys, I don’t agree with that! You’ve judged them without meeting them. That’s too biased."
Fang Yu chuckled and replied, "You used to believe in me unconditionally, so why are you being so suspicious now, even doubting my words..."
"I don’t disbelieve you..."
"Just believe in me... There’s too much to explain. You will naturally understand later. It’s really late today, I’ve been on a plane all day. I need to rest for the night. Tomorrow morning, I will search for the Curse Root. By the afternoon, I will take you back to Jiangzhou," said Fang Yu.
Upon hearing they would return to Jiangzhou, Xu Zhaopei immediately said, "I won’t go back... unless, unless you marry me!"
"You’re so shameless! Your grandfather is already sick with longing... Coming to Europe, you were purely misled by those hypocritical Cultivators from the Kunlun Sect. Don’t blame me for not warning you. If your grandfather suddenly dies one day, it’ll be too late for you to regret it!"
Snap.
The coffee cup on the table toppled over.
Xu Zhaopei was stunned momentarily.
The only person she ever cared about in her life was probably her grandfather.
Fang Yu also shook his head and sighed, then headed to the hotel across the street.
After some thought, Xu Zhaopei also went to the hotel.
...
In the room, Fang Yu sat cross-legged, continuously cultivating.
After a while, he slowly opened his eyes.
"It seems completely impossible to sense the Qi Sea..."
Qi Sea was a term for cultivation Fang Yu found in the ancient texts sent from the Taia Sect, similar to the Dantian of Cultivators...
Ever since reaching the Saint level, Fang Yu’s understanding of the Saint level had been limited to the memory of the Dragon Emperor. These rich memories, combined with the records from the ancient texts of Taia Sect, led Fang Yu to confirm that above the Heavenly Rank was the Saint level.
The Saint level is different from the Heavenly Rank.
The Heavenly Rank has nine levels, and its climb is slow.
The Saint level also has nine levels, and they are Nirvana, Constant Sand, Truth, Light King, Heavenly Mechanism, Stars, Infinite, Epic.
However, these nine levels are often unattainable by cultivation level alone. On top of strength, what’s tested is chance and Heart Realm.
"The formation of the Qi Sea is a fundamental requirement for the Saint level. Without a Dantian, how could I possibly form a Qi Sea... It’s strange. The Divine Dragon Technique is becoming more mystical..."
Fang Yu couldn’t understand.
"After my Divine Dragon reached the Seventh Transformation, my strength level was at the Saint Constant Sand. According to the ancient texts, as long as I cultivate properly, there is a very slim chance to reach the Epic Level in one leap. But now I don’t even have a Qi Sea!"
Shaking his head, Fang Yu gave up trying to sense the Qi Sea.
He then stood up.
"Let’s not worry about it now... Resolve the Curse Root as soon as possible and return earlier. Mom, I will definitely find you! You left the Mandala behind, isn’t it because you want to see me suddenly succeed in my cultivation one day and stand before you?"
