Zhu Wen and Yinkong followed closely behind God-splitting Flaming Weave. Yinkong looked at Zhu Wen strangely and asked in confusion,"Big sister, why are we still following God Splitting Flame Weave on this mission? Logically speaking, haven't we already completed the mission that should have been completed? We can't be sure if this is a side quest or not! We might as well use the remaining time to consolidate our strength!”The two of them had grown too fast, and it was very likely that their foundations would be unstable. Zhu Wen's situation was the most serious, and her knowledge might not even be as good as God Splitting Flame Weaving.
Zhu Wen smiled and shook her head. She looked at the back of God Splitting Flame Weaving and narrowed her eyes."There's definitely more than just Kayako in this world! Besides, do you really think that the benefits the Earth Defense Sect clan gave me are that simple? They have been watching us closely. If I don't find a reason to leave Kyoto, they will find out that I'm wrong sooner or later. After all, I haven't been a witch for long, and we're not really Japanese. Staying in Kyoto will only let the Dochimen family find out that we're not harmonious.”Yinkong finally nodded and understood why Zhu Wen had to leave the capital.
But Yingkong didn't know that Zhu Wen was thinking more. She was already considering making this world her permanent home. She would definitely return here if she had the chance. In her eyes, this was a precious world that wasn't any weaker than the Legend of the Gods and Demons.
The countless spiritual equipment, Mythical Creatures, technological knowledge, and magic books hidden in this world were all great treasures that were waiting to be excavated by Zhu Wen. However, she was still too weak at the moment, so she couldn't touch those things. If she touched those things, she would only die. Therefore, the first step she could take now was to establish a relationship with the various factions in this world. Wasn't it a good idea to help God Splitting Flame Weaving, the 'saint'?
--------------------------------------------------
Zhu Wen looked at the God-splitting Flaming Weave, who had suddenly stopped, and asked curiously,"Have we arrived?"
God Splitting Flame Weave stood at the edge of the cliff, looking down at the ground with a serious expression."Yes, but it looks even stranger than the information shows. You should take a look!”Godly Splitting Flame Weaving pointed at the bottom of the cliff with her sword.
Zhu Wen brought Yingkong to the edge of the cliff and looked down. It was indeed strange. There was no one in the village, not even a corpse. However, there was a lot of dust on the ground, roof, and house. It was as if it had not been cleaned for more than ten years. However, there were still hundreds of people in the village a few days ago!
Zhu Wen frowned and said lightly,""We can't find out the reason at all. Let's go down and take a look!”Zhu Wen picked up Yinkong and jumped off the cliff. God Splitting Flame Weaving shook her head helplessly and followed suit.
Zhu Wen had used the Levitation Spell to easily carry Yingkong and jump off a steep cliff that was nearly 100 meters high, completely unscathed. Meanwhile, God Splitting Flame Weave had relied purely on her inhuman physique to run straight down, leaving the two dumbfounded.
After entering the village, the three of them truly felt the Yin Qi contained in the village. Zhu Wen looked at the Yin Qi in the air and said with some doubt,"Logically speaking, such a thick Yin Qi should be enough to give birth to some earthbound spirits. It's impossible for this village not to have people die, but as long as there are people, then these spirits will be bound by this powerful Yin Qi and become earthbound spirits. However, the strange thing was that I didn't feel the existence of any soul. This was too suspicious. Even in a big city like the capital, where Yang qi was extremely abundant, there would still be some earthbound spirits!”
God-Splitting Fiery Weave slowly walked to the temple of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and bowed. She said in a low voice,"There's no smell of blood or corpses. It's as if everyone here was dragged into an unknown world overnight.”
Zhu Wen turned to Yinkong and said,"Yanye, look around and see if there are any traces left behind. If there are any bloodstains, I can use a tracking technique.”Yinkong nodded and left on the roof.
Zhu Wen had nothing to do either. She took out a talisman from her sleeve and summoned Kayako, who was now one of the twelve divine generals that belonged to her. Of course, it was still a little unworthy of its name. She said to Tian Yi,"Go and see if there are any souls left in the village. Oh right, maybe there will be some gains in places like graves. Regardless of whether you find them or not, come back and find me in an hour! I don't know why, but I feel uneasy here.”Tian Yi nodded and turned into a puff of smoke before disappearing.
Zhu Wen patted the God-Splitting Flaming Weave's shoulder and said with a smile,"Let's go and look for it too. Perhaps we'll find something.”Godly Splitting Flame Weaving nodded and gripped the sword in her hand tightly.
--------------------------
Zhu Wen looked at Yinkong and Tianyi and asked with anticipation,"Did you find anything?" Yingkong and Tianyi looked at each other and shook their heads in disappointment.
Yinkong frowned and asked curiously,"I found some signs of struggle in many houses, but unfortunately, there was no blood left. It was as if someone had deliberately wiped away the traces of blood, and there was not even the smell of blood left.”
Solesky was also depressed. He said in puzzlement,""Your Highness, my strength has greatly increased in this place where the Yin Qi is very strong. Logically speaking, there should be souls residing here, but I didn't find any wandering ghosts or even small demons.”This was too strange. The degree of condensation of Yin Qi was enough to breed some small demons within a few days, but why didn't it?
Zhu Wen frowned and thought about the problem. Suddenly, she realized that she seemed to have forgotten something. She ran to the streets, roofs, and grass to collect some dust. After checking for a while, she finally smiled strangely.
Godly Splitting Flame Weave looked at Zhu Wen's strange smile and felt a chill run down her spine. She cautiously asked,""Why are you collecting these things? Isn't this very ordinary dust?”Even Yingkong and Solesky nodded in agreement.
Zhu Wen placed the white dust in her hand into a crystal bottle. After casting a small spell, she placed it in front of the two people and the spirit and said indifferently,"Do you really think this is ordinary dust now?”God Splitting Flame Weave and Yingkong looked at the white sand in the bottle in confusion. No matter how they looked at it, it looked like dust.
Suddenly, Tian Yi's eyes widened as he stared in disbelief at the 'dust' in Zhu Wen's crystal bottle. Seeing Tian Yi's reaction, God-splitting Fireweave couldn't help but ask,""Do you know what that is? Hurry up and tell us. This might be very helpful for our investigation.”
Tian Yi seemed to have recalled something bad. He gulped and muttered to himself,"These are the ashes of dozens of people. But how is it possible? These ashes don't look like ordinary corpses that were weathered or burned by flames. Look, the ashes are not gray or black at all.”If Tian Yi hadn't been accompanying her bones and understood human bones very well, she wouldn't have been able to tell what it was.
Yinkong and God-splitting Flaming Weave's eyes widened as they roared in disbelief,"Bone ashes?"
Zhu Wen finally nodded and agreed to Tian Yi's words. She stared at the ashes in her hand and said indifferently," Perhaps there's already an answer. Only a creature can incinerate itself after death without leaving a soul behind.”
Solesky, God-splitting Flaming Weave, and Yingkong roared,"Zombie (Vampire)."
A look of astonishment appeared on Firesplitter's face as she said in disbelief,""Aren't vampires creatures from English legends? How could it appear in reality? How could a terrifying creature with an infinite lifespan and whose mana would continue to grow as long as it lived?”Yinkong was speechless. Our captain was a vampire, was he as strong as you said? I don't think he's much!
Zhu Wen slowly shook her head and said lightly,""Like the zombies in China, vampires have no souls. After they die, they will not be able to enter heaven or return to hell. The souls of low-level vampires would be purified by sunlight in a few minutes after they were exposed to the air because there was no one to guide them. It was no wonder that there was no soul in this village. The souls of those who died of old age had been reincarnated or entered hell. The souls who died as vampires were purified by light. The resentment and obsession before their death gathered here to condense such a powerful Yin Qi. Since vampires existed in this village, ordinary little monsters would never dare to enter or even approach this village. Even if they were born, they would escape from this place. It seemed that this vampire was really powerful.”
God Splitting Flame Weave's face was filled with melancholy. If they didn't have souls, blood, or a sufficient medium, their tracking spells would be useless. These ashes couldn't be used as a medium at all. Was the clue going to break here? Could it be that he could only wait for the vampires to attack humans again? He really couldn't accept it.
Zhu Wen tossed the ashes in her hand and said with a smile,"There's no need to be so discouraged. How can my collection of these things be useless? My eyes are mutated demon eyes that can see karma lines. From these ashes, I can see two connected karma. If I'm not wrong, one of them must belong to the vampires, and the other…"
God Splitting Flame Weave smiled and said loudly,"Then the other one should be the karma line of the person who killed all the low-level vampires!”Zhu Wen smiled and nodded.
Yinkong looked at their interaction and said unhappily,"Then what are we waiting for? Sister, aren't you going to lead the way?" Zhu Wen shook her head with a smile and recalled Tian Yi. After all, she was Zhu Wen's Spirit-branded Retainer now. Summoning her would consume her energy. This was also the difference between a domesticated Spirit-branded Retainer and a wild ghost. Wild ghosts only needed to eat human souls or absorb Yin Qi, but the Spirit-branded Retainer needed the owner's energy to move freely.
It seemed that he had to find a medium for the Twelve Divine Generals when he returned, just like the Gate of Heaven where they could cultivate. Otherwise, the Twelve Divine Generals would not be able to increase their strength before they were summoned.
--------------------------------------------------
A 12-year-old girl in a red and white sportswear stood in the forest and looked at the white sand and dust on the ground with an expressionless face. She had accidentally killed all her relatives not long ago, but why? Why did her family and villagers attack her? Why did everyone suddenly die? Why?
The death of her family and friends had drained her tears. She could no longer show any other expressions. The death of everyone had dealt a mental blow to her, causing her to fall into confusion. Do I really deserve to die? Why didn't I die? Wouldn't it be better if he died with everyone?
The girl, who was confused about the meaning of her life, did not notice that 200 meters behind her, there was a red-haired man staring at the girl with his blood-red eyes. He slowly licked his lips and muttered,"Is this the legendary blood that can advance to a True Ancestor after absorbing it? That fragrance is really mesmerizing!" The immense magic power and blood-like aura that the man exuded proved his identity as a vampire.
-------------------------------------------------
Zhu Wen was holding a glass bottle of ashes in her hand, looking for the person who was linked to one of the karma lines. When she brought God Splitting Flame Weaving and Yingkong to a forest, she was surprised to find that the two karma lines were almost overlapping.
To be on the safe side, Zhu Wen summoned Tian Yi and Toshio Saeki, who was now a Black Tortoise, in advance. After giving them some instructions and giving them some things, she let them transform into spirit bodies and disappear before her eyes.
After doing all this, Zhu Wen said to the two people beside her with a solemn expression,"Be careful. The vampire and the Vampire Killer are both in the forest, but the vampire seems to have already targeted the Vampire Killer. It seems that we have to act quickly.”God Break and Yingkong immediately grabbed their weapons and observed their surroundings to prevent any sneak attacks from the vampires.
Just as the three of them entered the forest and passed through an invisible barrier, the vampire in the forest revealed a surprised expression. He felt the three strong life forces and suddenly laughed strangely. It seemed that there was a new material. He slowly looked in the direction of the girl that Zhu Wen called the Vampire Killer and muttered to himself,"Let me see where the legendary blood limit is. Ordinary people who have turned into ghouls can't even measure that limit. So what if they have a noble title? Ahahaha!" It seemed that the Vampire had already set its sights on God Splitting, Fire Weaving, and the other two, who had already entered the forest. It wanted to use them as cannon fodder.
The moment the vampire had this idea, Zhu Wen widened her eyes in horror. An illusion that had not appeared in a long time appeared in front of her.
A red-haired, red-eyed man hugged the wounded Yingkong. After sucking her blood dry, he threw the doll-like Yingkong on the ground.
God-splitting Flaming Weave was already unconscious on the ground, but there were still two small bloody holes on her neck, which meant that her blood had been sucked by the vampire, and her beloved sword had long been shattered into pieces on the ground.
When Zhu Wen saw the vampire looking at her strangely, she suddenly walked over with a surprised expression.
in reality
Zhu Wen panted heavily, her eyes filled with fear. She tightly grabbed God Splitting Flame Weaving's hand and shouted,"Hurry, let's leave. We've been discovered by the vampire. We're no match for him.”As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of applause rang out in the forest, and the red-haired vampire appeared in everyone's eyes.
The red-haired vampire looked at Zhu Wen as if he was looking at a piece of art. His eyes were filled with amazement. He bowed and acted like a gentleman. He smiled at Zhu Wen and said,"Let me introduce myself. I am Grand Duke Clark of the Lasombra clan. This time, he came to the Far East in search of a spouse and a new breakthrough. Ah, beautiful lady, I seem to be in love with you. Your noble blood is deeply attracted to me. Can you tell me your name and become my spouse?”Zhu Wen was terrified.
Zhu Wen's body was trembling under the powerful pressure hidden by the other party. She pretended to be calm and tried her best to make an elegant expression. She said indifferently,"Sorry, if you want to get me, you have to defeat all of us first!”
The vampire laughed and looked greedily at the silver-haired, blue-eyed witch. He licked his lips and revealed his fangs as he laughed."This is the only way to make me feel happy! Ahahaha." The Vampire then unleashed a powerful burst of mana, causing Fireweave's eyes to widen in disbelief as she stared at the Vampire. This level of energy burst had already reached the level of her Stigmata Liberation! Was this the power of the legendary vampires?
Yingkong endured the powerful pressure and bit her tongue, finally breaking free from the pressure. She silently pulled out her Deathfire Teeth, the temperature of the dagger making Yingkong feel slightly relieved.
The flames on the Deathfire Tooth made the Vampire turn his head slightly and look at it with a strange expression. Zhu Wen could clearly read the word 'interesting' from the Vampire's eyes. This Vampire…
