Starting with SSS-rank talent, I contracted the Forbidden Ferocity.

"Back to the capital."

"Let's overturn the vampire table."

As soon as Shen Ye finished speaking, the blood-red clouds above Zhenmo Pass dissipated.

But everyone knew that the matter was not over.

The Vampire Royal Court will not allow Xue Li to reach the capital alive.

He would not allow her to hand over information about the Blood Gate Altar to the higher-ups in Dongxia.

Wei Cang gave the order on the spot.

"Seal off the teleportation array at Demon Suppression Pass."

"All personnel entering and leaving the premises must undergo a soul re-examination."

"Xue Li was imprisoned in the Demon-Suppressing Black Prison, ostensibly for detention, but in reality for protection."

Xue Li's expression changed slightly upon hearing the words "Black Prison".

Qin Wuji sneered:

"What, you've been to the vampire ancestral pool, why are you afraid of human prisons?"

Xue Li glanced at him.

"I'm not afraid of prison."

"It is the Blood Ancestor Priest."

Zhou Xuan frowned.

"He can kill you from a distance?"

Xue Li was silent for a moment, then raised her hand and pressed it to her brow.

There, the ancestral pool mark had already been shattered by Shen Ye.

But deep within the shattered surface, there was still a very thin black line.

"He left a priestly blood pact in the souls of all the Guardians."

"He will definitely find out when I leave the pool."

"The more I speak, the faster the blood pact will backfire."

Lu Qingshan's eyes darkened.

"Can it be solved?"

Xue Li looked at the tribulation dust on Shen Ye's shoulder.

"It might be able to see."

Jie Chen opened the Heavenly Punishment Eye on his forehead.

A gray-white lightning bolt shone on Xue Li's brow.

next moment.

Xue Li groaned and knelt on one knee.

The black line between her eyebrows twitched like a living thing, transforming into a tiny peephole.

The peephole opened.

A cold voice came from inside.

"Blood Glass".

"You have disappointed me."

Wei Cang took a step forward, and the Demon Suppression Army Seal crashed down.

But Wei Cang wasn't seen through that peephole.

It only looks at Shen Ye.

"The Night King"

"Blood King City awaits you."

Shen Ye raised his hand.

Jie Chen opened his mouth and bit down.

Click.

It bit and swallowed the peephole whole.

Xue Li felt a sudden relaxation wash over her, her face turning deathly pale.

A system notification sounded.

[The dust of calamity devours the fragments of the priest's blood pact.]

[Clue obtained: The aura of the Blood Ancestor Priest.]

[Can identify homologous bloodline markings at short distances.]

Shen Ye's eyes flickered slightly.

"nice one."

Xue Li looked up at him.

"You call this something good?"

Shen Ye said:

"It's good that we can find someone."

Wei Cang immediately said:

"We cannot use the open teleportation array."

"The vampires must be keeping an eye on the spatial passage from Zhenmo Pass to the capital."

Zhou Xuan nodded.

"Using covert military connections."

"Three-stage teleportation, with a formation change midway."

Qin Wuji immediately said:

"I'll go."

Li Xuance also spoke up:

"I'll go too."

Chu Jinglan and Meng Qianqiu remained silent, simply standing behind Shen Ye.

Wei Cang glanced at them.

These people had just been through a major battle and were still recovering from their injuries.

But he did not refuse.

If the vampires want to kill Xue Li, they will definitely kill Shen Ye as well.

Among the younger generation, only a few can keep up with Shen Ye's pace.

Half an hour later.

The underground teleportation hall of Zhenmo Pass.

Shen Ye, Xue Li, Qin Wuji, Li Xuance, Chu Jinglan, Meng Qianqiu, and Zhou Xuan entered the formation simultaneously.

Lu Qingshan remained at Zhenmo Pass.

He had to protect Lu Chenzhou's life and also stabilize the front line.

Before leaving, he only said one sentence to Shen Ye:

See you in the capital.

Shen Ye nodded.

The teleportation array lit up.

The first transmission went smoothly without any issues.

During the second teleportation, the spatial channel began to vibrate.

Zhou Xuan's expression changed drastically.

"Someone is blocking the road!"

Xue Li looked up.

"Vampire Shadow Crossing Technique".

The voice just fell.

Dozens of bloody cracks suddenly appeared on both sides of the spatial passage.

One after another, assassins cloaked in blood-red robes emerged from the blood-soaked gaps.

Every aura emanating from it was at the peak of the fifth rank.

Qin Wuji sneered.

"They've finally arrived."

The phantom of Emperor Lei Zupeng soared into the sky.

Lightning exploded in the spatial tunnel.

Li Xuance stepped out with his Azure Lotus Sword Deer, and sword lotuses sealed the cracks.

Chu Jinglan deployed his Canghai Domain, forcefully stabilizing the teleportation channel.

Meng Qianqiu drew his sword, holding the ancient sword horizontally.

"Shen Ye, you are the witness."

Shen Ye looked at Xue Li.

"Stand behind me."

Xue Li's expression was complicated.

For the first time, she, the guardian of the ancestral pool of the vampire clan, was protected by a human.

But she didn't try to be brave.

Because she knew these assassins weren't there to test her.

They came to silence him.

Suddenly, a blood-robed assassin bypassed the crowd, his body turning into a blood mist as he lunged straight at Xue Li's brow.

Xue Li's pupils contracted.

"Blood Pact Detonated!"

Shen Ye looked up.

"Dust of Calamity".

A gray-white flash of lightning appeared.

The Heavenly Punishment Eye on Jie Chen's forehead pierced directly through the blood mist.

The assassin froze in mid-air.

Zhu Jiu emerged from the shadows.

The Nine Netherworld Burial Shadows fell.

The blood-robed assassin was pinned to the spatial rift.

Shen Ye slashed through with his sword.

The blood mist exploded.

As the assassin lay dying, a black door mark appeared on his chest.

Jie Chen swallowed it whole.

[Devouring to the Blood Gate Mark of the Same Origin.]

[The Blood Ancestor Priest's aura lock-on accuracy has been increased.]

Shen Ye's eyes grew colder and colder.

"Keep delivering."

Qin Wuji chuckled upon hearing this.

"Are you treating the assassin like a clue?"

Shen Ye said:

"They're already here."

Seeing this scene, Xue Li finally understood why the Blood River Saint had died.

The vampires are masters at using blood, soul, and marks to create schemes.

But Shen Ye is different.

He will break the situation down.

Then turn the disassembled parts inside out and use them as knives.

When the third teleportation ended, all the blood-robed assassins were killed.

The space channel has stabilized again.

The light from the Imperial Capital Teleportation Tower appeared ahead.

Zhou Xuan breathed a sigh of relief.

"arrive."

boom!

The teleportation array landed.

At the Imperial Capital Military Headquarters, the highest alert bell rang simultaneously.

thump.

thump.

thump.

It's not a welcome.

It's a city lockdown.

When Shen Ye stepped out of the teleportation array, there were already twelve sixth-tier military experts guarding outside.

Further away, three seventh-tier auras pressed down on the sky.

Lu Qingshan arrived earlier than them.

He stood in front of the teleportation tower, holding Lu Chenzhou's life tablet in his hand.

"The high-level meeting has already been held."

"Xue Li, go directly to the King's Sealing Hall."

Xue Li looked up and saw military formations lighting up in the sky above the capital.

She whispered:

"You humans are really quick."

Shen Ye said:

"Opportunities for vampires to come knocking on our door are rare."

The group entered the Hall of Conferring the Title of King.

Inside the hall, high-ranking officials from the military, the Beast Taming Guild, Tianfu Academy, and the Demon Suppression Division were all present.

Wei Cang's projection was also there.

Xue Li was brought to the center of the hall.

All eyes were on her.

Murderous intent.

Examine.

doubt.

She took a deep breath.

"I can testify that the royal families of the Vampire Clan, the Bone Clan, and the Thunder Demon Clan jointly worship the Blood Gate."

"There are three Blood Gate Altars in total."

"The inner pool of the Ancestral Pool has been temporarily sealed off by the Night King."

"The second one is underground in Blood King City."

"The third one is in the Forbidden Zone of Bones."

The hall was deathly silent.

An elder from the Beast Taming Guild asked in a deep voice:

Who is the Blood Ancestor Priest?

Xue Li looked up.

"I don't know his real name."

"But I know one thing."

Everyone looked at her.

Xue Li's voice was cold:

"The Blood Ancestor Priest has a blood body in the human capital."

"And that bloodied body is currently in this city."

The words fell.

On Shen Ye's shoulder, the Heavenly Punishment Eye on Jie Chen's forehead suddenly opened.

Grayish-white lightning swept across the Hall of Kings.

next moment.

The ancestral blood mark on Shen Ye's wrist twitched slightly.

It's as if it's responding to something.

outside the temple.

Deep underground in the capital city.

A very faint heartbeat was also heard.

thump.
