The night was as dark as ink. In the villa that had been thoroughly cleaned, Edward held a piece of information, scrutinizing it for a while, staring at the photos of Xiao Wei and Li Zixin, and took a deep breath with excitement.
"This Easterner named Su Yang truly has good fortune; all the women around him are stunning beauties. It seems Uncle Howard still cares for me. Although I have to travel far to the East, the prey is so beautiful that this trip is worth it."
"Such prey even makes me have a slight impulse to make them my descendants..."
As a notorious killer in the Dark Council, Edward had never had such thoughts in the past 260 years. If familiar people knew about this, they would surely be amazed.
After all, his reputation for never leaving any survivors in the DR organization was well-known.
Half an hour later, Edward, blending into the night, appeared like a ghost on the balcony of Xiao Wei's residence on the 16th floor. He landed steadily after just two leaps.
Being a genius among the young generation of the bloodline, Edward's strength was unquestionable. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been sent alone to slaughter the British political figures protected by over a hundred of Blackwater's elite guards at the sailboat hotel.
"I can almost smell the fragrance of the beautiful women's blood."
On the balcony, Edward sniffed hard, his eyes glowing with a chilling red, and his two fangs protruded from his upper lip, showing a sickly look of ecstasy.
Pushing the balcony door lightly and stepping into the room, his vampire's superhuman hearing immediately caught the heartbeat in the bedroom. A rare sense of anticipation arose, and the strange smile on Edward's lips grew even more intense.
"Bang"
The bedroom door was violently kicked open, and the little demoness, Li Zixin, flashed out with a murderous look, using the 72 Hands of the Heavenly Demon. The sky was filled with palm shadows, carrying immense power, enveloping Edward.
"Even if Sister Wei stops me, I will take your life today."
Li Zixin was truly intent on killing. She had practiced the Heavenly Demon Technique since childhood, and her nature was inherently ruthless. After several attempts to harm Xiao Wei and herself, the anger in the little demoness's heart finally erupted in the dead of night.
"Ah"
Edward let out a light exclamation, his body spinning like a top, and the palm shadows that hit him were all deflected, the remaining force scattering, destroying most of the large living room.
"So this is what you Easterners call kung fu."
Edward stood still, his eyes gleaming with evil, and he licked his upper teeth excitedly, "I was still a bit hesitant about turning you into my descendant, but now, I am certain."
Since breaking through to the seventh level of the Heavenly Demon Technique and mastering all 72 Hands, Li Zixin could even match the three elders. Her attack just now was full of killing intent, but she didn't even scratch him, which made the little demoness immediately calm down.
"Sister Wei, this guy is very strong. You should leave quickly, and I'll hold him off."
Li Zixin looked at Edward warily and warned Xiao Wei, who had just come out of the bedroom.
"Zixin, I've already called the police," Xiao Wei said calmly, knowing Li Zixin's abilities.
Xiao Wei's appearance made Edward's eyes light up again, and he cackled, "None of you can leave. Since you two have such a good relationship, I will make you both my descendants, and you will serve me forever."
"Sister Wei, this guy is tough. You should leave quickly, don't let me get distracted," Li Zixin said anxiously.
Edward laughed even louder, "You are both my chosen descendants. Where can you go? I should thank that Easterner named Su Yang. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have been sent to the distant East to meet such perfect descendants."
Li Zixin sensed Edward's aura rising and knew she couldn't wait any longer. She gathered all her strength and unleashed the three most powerful moves of the 72 Hands of the Heavenly Demon.
"Your strength is great, but your speed is too slow."
Just as the attack was about to hit, Edward vanished from Li Zixin's sight, reappearing behind her in the next moment. He pressed his hand on her shoulder, sending a surge of vampire energy, compressing her true qi into her dantian, and immobilizing her.
Although she couldn't move, Li Zixin's mind was still clear. Tears streamed down her eyes, and her heart was filled with the image of Su Yang in despair.
"I didn't expect your strength to be so great, requiring me to use almost half of my vampire energy to subdue you. Now, I like you even more."
At the same time Li Zixin was restrained, Xiao Wei had already reached the door, but how could she escape from a young vampire genius like Edward?
Looking at Edward, who suddenly appeared and blocked the door, Xiao Wei shouted, "What have you done to Zixin?"
"Don't worry, I wouldn't hurt her. Just like you, she will soon become my descendant, serving me forever."
This was the last thing Xiao Wei heard before losing consciousness, and at that moment, her heart was filled with thoughts of Su Yang.
In a villa in the suburbs of Shanghai, Luke, following Edward's instructions, had set up a bedroom for a dark ritual. Li Zixin and Xiao Wei, immobilized by vampire energy, lay side by side on the bed.
After setting everything up, Luke closed the door and came to the hall, reporting to Edward, "Master, everything is set up as you instructed. You are truly amazing. That girl in purple is a top expert, but she was completely helpless against you. I am truly in awe of your strength."
Although Luke's words had a hint of flattery, half of them were true, as he had lost several capable subordinates due to Li Zixin's attacks.
"Top expert?"
Edward sneered, "That's because you ignorant humans have never seen true power."
"Go down. No one is to enter this villa without my order, or they will die."
In a secret military base in the Ten Thousand Mountains, Su Yang handed the satellite phone to the person in charge with a smile.
"Who are you?"
"Zheng Long, I am Miao Changsheng..."
"Commander Miao!"
"Send a helicopter to bring Mr. Su to Shanghai and fulfill all his requests."
"Yes."
As a trusted subordinate of Miao Changsheng, Li Zhenglong recognized his old superior's voice and immediately complied, despite his initial confusion.
Fifteen minutes later, Su Yang was on a military plane heading to Shanghai.
At night, as soon as Su Yang landed, he was intercepted by Miao Changsheng, who was waiting at the airport.
"Su Yang, you're finally back!" Miao Changsheng's expression showed anxiety and anticipation.
"A Ling will recover soon."
Su Yang's words were like a calming pill, making Miao Changsheng breathe a sigh of relief.
"I sent A Ling to Old Lu's house to rest. Shall we go there now?"
"Sure!"
In the innermost room of Old Lu's house, Miao Ling lay on the bed, her eyes closed, as if in a deep sleep. At Su Yang's instruction, everyone left the room and closed the door. Su Yang took out the "Xian Tian Miao Ru Dan" he had refined, dissolved it in his mouth, and kissed Miao Ling's red lips, using his true qi to help the medicine enter her body.
Standing up, Su Yang gently touched Miao Ling's hair, a faint smile on his lips, and whispered, "A Ling, sleep for three more days. When the medicine fully disperses, you will be back to normal."
He sat quietly with Miao Ling for half an hour, then kissed her forehead and turned to leave.
"Su Yang, my granddaughter..."
Despite his age, Miao Changsheng still had a fiery temper. He had been waiting anxiously outside and immediately asked when he saw Su Yang come out.
"She's fine. She just needs to sleep for three days. When the medicine fully disperses, she will wake up."
Since his journey to the Spirit Realm, Su Yang's personality had changed slightly. Knowing that there were realms of cultivation far beyond his own, he no longer spoke with arrogance but with a calm and detached demeanor, giving people a sense of his depth.
"I'll go in and see her," Miao Changsheng said, still worried.
"If you wake her up now, although A Ling will still recover, she will miss out on the other major benefit of the medicine."
Miao Changsheng stopped, his eyes wide, "What do you mean?"
"An innate body."
Su Yang explained slowly, "A Ling was in a coma because of a foreign poison in her blood. I used the Wuji Golden Pill to save her life, but I couldn't remove the poison from her blood and bones. Now that she has taken the 'Xian Tian Miao Ru Dan,' this pill can reshape her bones and blood, creating an innate body. In this process, the poison in her body will be completely eliminated."
Miao Changsheng, who had some internal martial arts skills, understood the general idea, and having experienced the effects of Su Yang's medicine firsthand, he nodded, "I understand. I will stay here for three days and make sure no one disturbs my granddaughter."
After chatting with Old Zhou and Old Lu, Su Yang left the house and headed straight for Tangcheng Yipin. Before arriving in Shanghai, he had made four phone calls, to Zhao Yar, Xiao Wei, Miao Changsheng, and Xu Tianyang.
Only Xiao Wei didn't answer, which was why Su Yang rushed to her residence as soon as he left Old Lu's house.
"Maybe they are already asleep at this time."
With this thought, Su Yang gently opened the door, but the scene inside made his heart tremble with a sense of foreboding.
The room was in chaos, and the large living room was completely destroyed, as if it had been brutally vandalized by dozens of people.
With his powerful divine sense, Su Yang could even detect a trace of Heavenly Demon true qi and another foreign energy in the living room.
His divine sense spread out like an octopus, instantly covering a radius of over ten miles, the limit of his current divine sense range.
Thanks to the nine transformations of the "Cangqiong Jiubian," he could achieve this with his initial foundation-building level. A typical initial foundation-builder's divine sense would be far weaker, and even at full strength, it would only spread a few miles, which was already considered excellent.
"Not within the divine sense range..."
