Everyone's playing as a roguelike, starting with an extra Mythical Relic.

At the checkpoint's 26th hour, roughly noon the following day, Xuan Li, the young master of the [Haiyin Clan], arrived in Yeming City.

As a black sedan chair carried by countless bats landed, a somewhat listless-looking boy stepped out.

A wedding procession of nearly a thousand vampires followed closely behind.

The Yeming Clan clearly valued this vampire prodigy highly, with the Mingyuan Clan Head personally coming out of the city to greet him.

"Haha~ Xuanli noble descendant, come here! Let me take a good look at the prodigy of our vampire clan! The last time I saw you, you had only been a vampire for less than ten years, right?"

"Greetings, Lord Mingyuan. How could I trouble you to personally come out and greet your descendant?" Xuan Li said with a smile, waving casually at the head of the Mingyuan family.

In fact, Xuan Li's action was rather impolite, but the Mingyuan family head did not seem to mind.

Incidentally, vampires also have their own system of address, which is very different from that of humans.

Generally, elders in the vampire clan address younger, talented individuals as "so-and-so noble descendant," while referring to themselves as "this humble one."

Younger vampires typically address their elders by their given name plus a male title, while referring to themselves as descendants.

"Haha! No need for that, no need for that. I'm overjoyed that my offspring can form a blood pact with you!"

"By the way, those soldiers behind you, aren't they the infamous Blood-Clad Guards of the [Skeleton Clan]?"

The patriarch of the Mingyuan family looked at the team of people dressed in dark red blood-red robes behind Xuan Li and praised them again: "Tsk tsk~ This momentum! No wonder they are known as the strongest army of the Blood Clan."

Xuan Li replied, "Lord Mingyuan, you flatter me. The Black Riders of the Nightshade Clan are the most fearsome and powerful army of the vampires."

Upon hearing Xuan Li mention his Black Riders, the Mingyuan Clan Head revealed a hint of pride. Suddenly, he noticed bloodstains on the clothes of these blood-clad guards and asked in surprise:

"Huh? Descendants of the Xuanli noble family, you've been fighting along the way?"

Xuan Li laughed, "Hehe~ It wasn't exactly a battle, just a bunch of fools who came to their deaths. By the way, some of the vampires even had the black bat insignia that's unique to your Nightshade Clan's Black Riders on their backs..."

Upon hearing this, the head of the Mingyuan family was shocked: "What?! Our Nightshade Clan's Black Riders attacked you?! Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It must be...it must be someone trying to frame us!"

Xuan Li laughed and said, "Don't worry, Lord Mingyuan, your descendants understand. If the Nightshade Clan really wanted to attack us, they wouldn't send these vampires with such obvious markings."

The patriarch of the Mingyuan family quickly replied, "Yes, yes! Your esteemed descendant is right!"

"Let's not think about these depressing things. Let's go into the city first. I've arranged a banquet tonight to welcome you back."

"These past few days, I've had Yanluo personally show you around our Nightshade City!"

"Then I'll have to trouble you, Lord Mingyuan..."

Inside the Earl of Yunxiang Manor, Chu Yang opened his eyes.

Just one minute ago, Chu Yang activated [God's Perspective] and obtained all of Xuan Li's abilities.

He reviewed the other party's abilities in his mind several times, and finally shook his head regretfully:

"It seems unlikely that we can capture them alive before the seventh day..."

Xuan Li truly lives up to his reputation as a prodigy of the vampire clan. Putting aside his offensive capabilities, he certainly has a multitude of ways to protect himself.

Even though Chu Yang already knew all of the other party's trump cards, he didn't think he was confident he could capture the other party alive.

However, if it was just about killing the opponent, Chu Yang was confident he could do it.

He didn't even need to lift a finger; Qian Yue was enough.

As for the other five people who pushed the door open, they still didn't give up and looked for other ways to sabotage the marriage.

That's a wise choice.

Because with their strength, it would be impossible for them to kill Xuan Li.

Having confirmed Xuan Li's strength, Chu Yang originally planned to enter the [Small World] and wait until the seventh day to have Qian Yue come out to kill Xuan Li and, incidentally, massacre the city.

But what happened in the next few days forced Chu Yang to change his plans.

First, that very evening, at the welcome banquet hosted by the city lord, Xuan Li encountered the Black Rider assassins of the Nightshade Clan.

Including the group he encountered on his way to Nightfall City, this is the second group.

It would be plausible if those black riders outside Nightshade City were other vampires in disguise.

Therefore, in Nightshade City, as the young master of the [Haiyin Clan], being assassinated once again by the [Nightshade Clan's] Black Riders, it would be difficult for the Nightshade Clan to explain it away simply by using the term "frame-up".

On the third day of the mission, in order to find out the mastermind behind the assassination of Young Master Xuanli and give the [Haiyin Clan] an explanation, the Mingyuan Clan Chief ordered his trusted confidant, the Second Earl of Chuyong, to investigate the matter.

Then, something extremely dramatic happened.

That is, Earl Benyu actually discovered that the mastermind behind the assassination of Young Master Xuanli was none other than the head of the Mingyuan family himself?!

That same night, the head of the Mingyuan family died. According to witnesses, he was killed by a group of elite vampires dressed in blood.

On the fourth day of the checkpoint, the Nightshade Clan, under the pretext of avenging the Mingyuan Clan Head, surrounded the North Courtyard of the City Lord where Xuan Li was temporarily residing.

Among the people surrounding the city lord's northern courtyard, besides the Nightshade Clan, there were also experts from the Scarlet Ash Clan and the Pure Soul Clan, and even vampires from the Skeleton Sound Clan.

Just like the intelligence Yunxiang had obtained before, a deadly trap has already been set up against Xuan Li.

As the target of this deadly scheme, Xuan Li quietly left the city lord's north courtyard and went to the room where "Young Master Yanluo" was imprisoned.

When the six guards who were watching over Young Master Yanluo discovered Xuan Li, they had already been drained of all their blood and turned into six dried corpses.

Then, Xuan Li transformed into a streak of blood-red light, passing through the wall of the room where "Young Master Yanluo" was imprisoned, and entered the room.

He turned the silver ring on his hand, and a mysterious aura enveloped the entire room.

Then Xuan Li approached from behind "Young Master Yanluo".

Just as his hand was about to touch the shoulder of "Young Master Yanluo", several green vines with red thorns suddenly appeared from under his feet, binding him tightly.

In an instant, a large amount of toxins surged into Xuan Li's body.

The "Young Master Yanluo," who was leaning against Xuan Li, also turned around, his eyes cold and arrogant.

Suddenly, her expression changed slightly, because the vampire in front of her, whose body was tainted by poison and should have been unconscious, was looking at her curiously as if nothing had happened.

"The intelligence from the [Haiyin Clan] says your cultivation level is only at the first rank. Is the intelligence wrong... or are you not actually Yanluo?"

"It's alright, I'll know once I try it..."

Xuan Li took a breath towards Ni Ming, and the already fair-skinned vampire Duke Ni Ming's face instantly turned even paler.

Because at the very moment Xuan Li inhaled, one-third of Ni Ming's vital energy was absorbed into his body!

Xuan Li shook his head and chuckled, "The taste is not bad, but it's not holy blood. Then can you tell me where the real Annihilation Vine went?"

But the Duke of Rebellion snorted coldly and looked behind him, saying, "Hmph~ If you want to know, ask the person behind you."

Xuan Li frowned and looked behind him, only to see a human dressed in strange clothes who had appeared silently behind him at some point.

Xuan Li gently raised his hand, intending to drain Chu Yang's blood and qi.

However, not a trace of qi and blood appeared?!

"Um?"

Xuan Li's expression instantly turned serious as he looked at Chu Yang: "Who... are you?!"

Because this was the first time he had encountered something he couldn't suck blood from at all!

However, he didn't hear an answer, only a helpless sigh from the human youth before him: "Sigh~! Trouble~"

"Can't you just stay put for seven days straight?"
