“Oh my god, Honorable Mister Ling, please don’t get angry, I was about to tell you about this…”
Chester shivered upon being on the receiving end of Ling Yun’s anger. He almost couldn’t hold the steering wheel properly. “My Honorable Mister Ling, don’t worry, your beautiful princess hasn’t undergone The Embrace…”
Ling Yun heaved a huge sigh immediately until Chester continued, “But it will be her turn soon…”
“What!” Ling Yun clenched his fist immediately!
Chester was now really afraid of Ling Yun’s fist. “Your beautiful princess was getting home then and our Baron…” Chester said with a frightened tone.
“He is no longer your Baron, his name is Chen Jianwei!” Ling Yun got pissed off when he heard this ridiculous title. Chen Jianwei was a dead man in his eyes. He wouldn’t be able to extinguish the hatred in his heart even if he crushed Chen Jianwei into ashes!
“Oh, yes, Chen Jianwei! Chen Jianwei swooped down on that little princess immediately for The Embrace, but something magical happened. A holy light appeared when Chen Jianwei bit onto the little princess’ neck, and Chen Jianwei went flying!”
Chester seemed to have a lingering fear of that incident. His teeth were chattering as he recounted it. “Yes, Paul and I, as well as many other descendants of the Blood Clan, were there, and we received very serious burns. We had to recover in coffins for more than two months before we managed to recover. If not, that mister in the other car would have never escaped our grasp…”
“Cao Shanshan? Holy light?” Ling Yun muttered, puzzled.
“Honorable Mister Ling, yes, the Holy Light. It was the same Holy Light that appeared in your hands, only many times stronger…” Chester explained.
Ling Yun seemed to understand better now. It wasn’t a Holy Light, it was the Immortal Spiritual Energy that Ling Yun transferred into Cao Shanshan — the Immortal Spiritual Energy of the Emperor Brush!
The Emperor Brush’s Immortal Spiritual Energy was Pure Yang Immortal Spiritual Energy. Ling Yun reached Qi Cultivation Level Nine when he battled the four masters and the three Heaven-ranked killers from the Assassins Organization with the help of the Emperor Brush. He gave all his people enough Immortal Spiritual Energy to do an internal cleansing.
Cao Shanshan was one of those who obtained more Immortal Spiritual Energy. That was because she was already at Houtian Realm Level Two. Her body had the best quality after Dugu Mo, Miao Xiaomiao, and Tie Xiaohu. That was why she would have the best efficiency for Immortal Spiritual Energy.
It seems like it was the Immortal Spiritual Energy that was sealed in Cao Shanshan’s body. This Human Sovereign is too awesome. It can protect the owner of the body just like this…
Ling Yun was excited. This was the best news he heard so far after he left Qingshui City.
“What happened to Chen Jianwei then? Did he not get injured too?” Ling Yun asked.
Chester shook his head. “He only sustained a light injury. My Honorable Mister Ling, you may not know that Chen Jianwei already had the power to defeat us normal low ranking descendants of the Blood Clan before he became one of us… He is a practitioner and a genius in the Chen Family. He seemed to have reached Xiantian Realm Stage Three? Or Stage Five…”
“Sorry, we really don’t understand how your practitioners’ system work… Anyway, it’s the Xiantian Realm…”
“Why was he willing to become one of you if he was such a practitioner?” Ling Yun asked, his brows knitted.
“Honorable Mister Ling, you have to know that members of the Blood Clan cannot die… Humans will do anything for immortality…” Paul interjected. He had only been listening until now.
He said something weird after, “However, it’s very difficult for The Embrace to be successful for Asians, especially the Chinese. This is because of their bloodline and their physical limitations. Even if it’s successful, they only become the most inferior descendants of the Blood Clan. There is a limit to their potential, and their lifespan cannot be increased for more than a hundred years. However, Chen Jianwei was very successful. He wasn’t only successful, he managed to surpass the normal members of the Blood Clan to be a Baron in a mere three years. That’s really admirable…”
Ling Yun’s heart shook. How strong would a Xiantian Realm master become if he also had the powers of the Blood Clan? Perhaps this Chen Jianwei would become a strong foe of his!
“Paul, I know, I saw it…” Chester said under his breath like a lunatic. “I saw a blood-red bead bracelet on Chen Jianwei’s hand. It seemed to be called… what… Blood Element Beads. It was very strange. It seemed to have an evil power. Chen Jianwei could improve his cultivation base every single time he sucked blood. It was even faster than us drinking pure virgin blood. It’s too scary!”
Blood Element Beads?
Could Chen Jianwei have been cultivating martial arts from the Devil Sect before he went abroad? This type of thing could never be from traditional martial arts…
“How do you distinguish the strength of your Blood Clan?” Ling Yun questioned.
They couldn’t keep anything from this jinx of the Blood Clan anyway. “My Honorable Mister Ling, I understand what you mean. You’re asking about our ranks. Our family might be strict, but it’s distinguished by blood and position…” Paul said.
Ling Yun had a general understanding of the Blood Clan after Paul’s simple introduction. Their blood relations were divided into purebloods and the hybrids. The purebloods were the aristocrats in the Blood Clan.
No matter how powerful the hybrids were, they were all rubbish as long as they weren’t purebloods.
Regarding the division of position, every Blood Clan was different. However, their positions were roughly the same. They were mainly led by the Lord and 12 elders who were involved in discussions. Under them, they were numerous members.
The Lord and the Elders had to have a rating. The Elders were elected, and the chamber was determined by the Lord and three Elders.
The Lord was normally someone whom the previous Lord abdicated to or someone who battled and won against the previous Lord. The Blood Clan was immortal, and the work of the Lord was usually complicated. Therefore, a Lord would usually abdicate after a certain period of time.
The Lord and Elders dominated the top, then came the Prince. The Prince was the head of the family, then it was the Grand Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron, and the ordinary members. If these ordinary members were the giver of The Embrace, the new ones would be the descendants of the Blood Clan. They were people like Paul, Jim, and Chester…
The Grand Duke was a powerful symbol of power in the family. The Marquis was in the middle, which was a symbol of the family’s prosperity. As for the Earl, that was the member mortals were most familiar with.
Ling Yun was shocked to know that such a strong race existed on earth. They weren’t humans nor devils nor ghosts. They existed over a long span of time, thousands of years. It was truly amazing!
“Then why can’t people normally see you?” Ling Yun asked.
“Oh, Honorable Mister Ling, this is because we have six principles in our clan. One of the most important principles is to avoid the world…” Paul answered seriously.
If one’s life was too long, one would naturally become indifferent to some things. Ling Yun understood this point. Most cultivators were like that as well.
“Why are you out here making trouble since you have this principle?” Ling Yun continued asking.
Chester yelped. “Aha, Honorable Mister Ling, your question is brilliant. Let me answer you!”
“No race is harmonious, there are divisions and struggles within the Blood Clan as well. We have thirteen clans in total and are divided into two camps, which are also known as the two major alliances. One of them is the Camarilla. They are the ones who came up with the six principles. The other… is the Sabbat, which doesn’t adhere to the six principles. Chen Jianwei joined the Sabbat, and we had no choice as his servants…
“However, we have to come out into the sunlight every day, and we hate the sun…”
Ling Yun finally understood everything. He smiled. “I get it now… Blood Clan, Sabbat, interesting…”
It seemed like this Blood Clan was huge, had a strict ranking, and had superb strength. It was just hidden and unknown to the world.
“Tell me all your powers, weaknesses, and the ways to kill you all!”
Ling Yun had finally reached the main point. He wanted to kill Chen Jianwei, so he had to obtain all possible advantages against the Blood Clan. Only then could he devise a plan.
“Oh, Honorable Mister Ling. I won’t lie to you, I hate this topic…”
“I hate it too…”
Both Chester and Paul frowned.
Of course. Ling Yun was asking how to kill the Blood Clan in front of two members of the Blood Clan. Why would they be happy?
However, Paul and Chester couldn’t hide anything from Ling Yun with his insistent questioning.
Ling Yun fully grasped the properties of the Blood Clan and how to kill them. Ling Yun also obtained interesting information. The Blood Clan could fly once they reached a certain level!
