Chapter 33

In order to welcome the arrival of the old lunar new year, the midnight blood feast of the Yin clan was particularly grand and luxurious.

Various rare demon beasts and demon birds had their fresh materials taken out, which were carefully prepared by top chefs. The ingredients were mixed with countless precious herbs, each one a rare treasure that greatly replenished blood and qi and strengthened one’s essence.

At the blood feast, besides eating and drinking, many of the Yin clan elders would take out various rare treasures and weapons to bestow upon the younger generations of their lineage. The more contributions a younger generation member made to the family in the past year, the more rewards they would receive. The treasures these elders took out also represented their prestige, so all kinds of rare and exotic treasures kept appearing, dazzling the eyes of the Yin clan’s younger generations.

At the end of the blood feast, Yin Tianjue, representing all the elders of the Yin clan, distributed New Year’s money to all the Yin clan children present. This followed the ancient Eastern custom, a New Year’s gift given to the Yin clan children, with all the children receiving the same standard of wealth.

Yin Xuege received a hundred newly minted gold coins, each weighing one tael, making a total of ten catties for a hundred gold coins. These gold coins were universally accepted, whether in human city-states or among the various blood demon families.

After the noisy and boisterous blood feast ended, surrounded by many guards, Yin Xuege came to the core area of the Yin clan. In front of the Heaven and Earth Tower, he made all the accompanying guards wait outside, and Yin Xuege alone entered the tower, quickly ascending to the highest level.

The sky in the east was already bright, and the blood mist barrier below had already been activated. The Heaven and Earth Tower, protruding hundreds of meters above the blood mist barrier, basked in the golden sunlight. Feeling the abundant heat in the sunlight, Yin Xuege felt his whole body filled with strength.

Nine Yin clan elders were already waiting here. Apart from Yin Tianjue and Yin Tianmie standing in front of their coffins, the other seven elders were unceremoniously leaning or sitting on their coffins. They held exquisite blue porcelain wine jars, taking small and large sips of the aged wine from the East.

"Homesickness!" Yin Tianjue gazed thoughtfully in the direction of the rising sun: "It has been many years since we last returned to the ancestral land to pay respects at our ancestors' graves. One day, our Yin clan will return to the ancestral land and hold a grand ancestral worship ceremony!"

"I wonder if the manor of our Yin clan from back then still exists today?" Yin Tianmie sighed deeply: "Since that day, we have never been able to return and take a look. I remember before I left home, I planted a blood-core hibiscus at my father's grave. I wonder how big it has grown now?"

Yin Xuege remained silent. At his young age, he could not understand the elders' nostalgia. Moreover, he had grown up within the Yin clan city, and he had no impression of the ancient and mysterious Eastern ancestral land. Even though the Yin clan was filled with Eastern traditions and rules, Yin Xuege had no real impression of the East.

Yin Tianjue raised a wine jar, drank the fine wine in one gulp, and then threw the jar directly from the top of the Heaven and Earth Tower. The wine jar, as big as a human head, fell downward and finally collided with the blood mist barrier. A ripple of blood light spread out, and the jar instantly turned into a wisp of black ash, blown away by the high-altitude wind.

"East, we will return one day!" Yin Tianjue took a deep breath, then crossed his arms behind his back and looked at Yin Xuege with authority.

"I called you here because of the news you told me last time!" Yin Tianjue narrowed his eyes and gestured to the other elders: "Originally, any elder could preside over the annual ancestral worship ceremony. But this year, all nine core elders and other Tian elders have appeared because of the news you brought!"

"The Jiang clan!" Yin Xuege immediately understood.

"Yes, the Jiang clan!" Yin Tianjue, with his arms crossed, slowly circled his coffin. As he walked, he said slowly: "I don't know their current situation, but when our Yin clan left the East, the Jiang clan was one of the top five immortal clans in the Eastern cultivation world."

Yin Tianmie added: "You young ones may not be familiar with the ancient history of the East. But in the Eastern cultivation world, the Jiang family is a colossal ancient legacy. Their ancestor, Jiang Taigong, hehe, was once a figure who controlled the 'Immortal Tribulation'!"

Yin Xuege, like a quail in a storm, stared blankly at Yin Tianmie. He knew little about the myths and legends of the East, as the Young Disciples Hall had not taught them these. The Eastern cultivation world, Jiang Taigong, these things, he had never heard of!

Yin Tianjue came out from behind his coffin, took out another blue porcelain wine jar from somewhere, broke the seal, and drank the fine wine in large gulps. After three sips, he smiled at Yin Xuege and exhaled a heavy breath of alcohol: "The Jiang clan has come, so all the elders and elders of the clan have been awakened, not just because of you, a Day Walker!"

"We want to use the Jiang clan to gain the opportunity for our Yin clan to return to the ancestral land!" Yin Tianmie narrowed his eyes, his gaze flickering: "Since the beginning of the Lawless Era, after we transformed into blood demons, we have never had the chance to return to the ancestral land. We haven't received any news from the Eastern cultivation world, and we even once thought they had all perished due to the dissipation of spiritual energy!"

Yin Tianjue drank another jar of fine wine and, without any sense of public decency, threw the jar down from the Heaven and Earth Tower.

"Regardless of what the Jiang clan is doing in the West! Since they are still alive and have approached the Great Berlin City's grand officials, as the lord of the surrounding ten thousand miles and the most powerful blood demon clan, we must do something." Yin Tianjue's eyes suddenly turned a strange crimson, his pupils becoming sun-like golden yellow, emitting a brilliant golden-red light.

"We must do something; this is an opportunity!" Yin Tianjue smiled strangely: "First, let's see what the Jiang clan wants to do. If there are benefits, and if these benefits are worth our involvement, then we will act without hesitation! If the benefits are only average, then we will befriend the Jiang clan and build a relationship with them!"

Taking a deep breath, Yin Tianjue's crimson eyes returned to normal, and a soft tenderness appeared in his gaze. He looked at the red sun in the East and sighed softly: "So many years have passed, I wonder if everything is still well?"

Yin Tianmie, impatient, scolded: "Brother, stop thinking about that woman! When she refused to leave with us back then, it proved she didn't care about you! With her cultivation at that time, she must have died! What are you still thinking about?"

Yin Tianjue grunted angrily and pointed fiercely at Yin Tianmie: "You don't understand!"

A drunk elder suddenly chuckled, shaking his head and laughing: "Brother, what do we need to understand? Being a romantic is enough with you! As for us, countless young maidens and beautiful matrons cry and beg for our favor. We just need to ensure the Yin clan has more direct descendants, and that's enough."

The group of Yin clan elders laughed loudly, their laughter sharp and unpleasant, almost like a demonic sound, making Yin Xuege dizzy and almost vomiting.

Yin Tianjue, feeling embarrassed, screamed a few times to suppress the laughter of his brothers. His face slightly red, he turned around and took out three fist-sized blood pearls from his sleeve.

"Yin Xuege, we have formulated a plan, 'Awakening of Insects'!" Yin Xuege took the three blood pearls, feeling the terrifying power they contained, his eyes twitching violently. He heard Yin Tianjue continue: "Awakening of Insects means to shock all the demons and spirits lurking in the dark, making them clearly visible to us."

"These three Yin Blood Thunderbolts are made from the blood wrath extracted from three hundred years of tainted blood, combined with the power of heavenly thunder. They are extremely powerful and are given to you for protection!" Yin Tianjue said coldly: "Your task is, in three days, to lead a hunting team of the Yin clan to gradually invade the territory of the Great Berlin City, sweep through their outer strongholds, and capture as many blood servants and blood slaves as possible!"

The Yin clan elders collectively decided, and the powerful Yin clan, like a fierce horse whipped hard, quickly sprang into action.

After a brief three-day preparation, led by Yin Xuege, a grand hunting team of the Yin clan marched out of the main gate of the Yin clan city. This hunting team was unprecedented in scale, the most powerful hunting team the Yin clan had ever dispatched!

Yin Xuege wore a blood-red battle robe made by the Yin clan's internal affairs hall, with a black half-armor on his upper body. Standing in his carriage, he looked through the transparent floor-to-ceiling window at the astonishingly large hunting team.

A hundred flying magic cars hovered three feet off the ground, slowly moving forward, pulled by over a thousand dark night blood leopards. Each flying magic car was eighteen meters long and about six meters wide, with a hundred fully armed Yin clan warriors inside.

These Yin clan warriors were all elite, the weakest of them having the strength of a Night Warrior, and the squad leaders were all Barons. The hundred-man squad leaders were Viscounts, and the thousand-man squad leaders were Counts! Even without counting the Yin clan experts disguised as ordinary warriors around Yin Xuege, this was an extremely terrifying force.

This was just the direct military power of the Yin clan. Outside the hundred flying magic cars were thirty thousand blood servant warriors riding unicorns. These blood servant warriors were humans, like the fallen ones in the Great Berlin City, they aspired to become blood demons and hoped to receive the essence blood of the blood demon clan to transform into immortal blood demons!

These blood servant warriors, who willingly submitted to the Yin clan, were all elite after brutal selection. They all wore battle armor forged by the Yin clan, and in addition to a standard crystal weapon of the Yin clan, they were equipped with various powerful firearms made by humans in the Lawless Era.

After all, for the Yin clan, crystals were extremely precious cultivation resources, and they could not waste too many resources on these blood servant warriors. The crystal weapons given to them were only for use in case of encountering powerful enemies, and when capturing blood servants and blood slaves, they mainly used human-made weapons.

In addition to the army on the ground, there were a hundred three-headed dragon eagles slowly gliding in the high sky. On the back of each three-headed dragon eagle was a Yin clan Baron leading ten elite blood puppets!

These blood puppets were terrifying monsters created by the Yin clan using Western puppetry and Eastern corpse refinement techniques. They were fearless of sunlight, impervious to blades and bullets, immensely strong, and had astonishing recovery abilities. Equipped with the fortress-type heavy armor specially forged for them by the Yin clan, these blood puppets were the most feared assault force of the Yin clan.

The Yin clan could stand in the West, making other orthodox blood demon noble families both fear and be helpless against them, and these terrifying and evil blood puppets contributed at least half the credit.

Such a large hunting team marched forward in grand procession. Looking at this team completely under his command, Yin Xuege felt his blood boil and nodded repeatedly. Such power and authority, the stewards of the Young Disciples Hall had always been instilling in Yin Xuege the belief that only by possessing such power and authority should a member of the Yin clan strive!

Wu Mu, also wearing a heavy suit of armor, took off his helmet and squatted next to Yin Xuege, gnawing on a huge animal leg. This guy still retained a strong primitive beast nature. The animal leg was uncooked, and as Wu Mu gnawed, blood dripped continuously from the meat, making the entire carriage reek of blood.

Yin Xuege's carriage was filled with Yin clan experts of the 'Wu' and even 'Di' generations. They all looked at the blood-stained Wu Mu with disdain, shaking their heads lightly.

Whether blood demons or werewolves, they were all part of the Western dark forces, enemies of humans.

But the blood demon clan considered themselves elegant nobles and looked down on the brutal, savage, and beast-like werewolves. And Wu Mu, besides being savage and beast-like, was also a typical chatterbox. In recent days, his foul mouth had offended countless people within the Yin clan. If not for Yin Xuege's face, someone would have already driven him off the magic car.

The large army marched out of the Yin clan's territory, through the mountains, and onto the plains outside.

The Yin clan had already formulated a comprehensive battle plan. The Yin clan warriors in the hundred magic cars did not move, and the thirty thousand blood servant warriors on unicorns let out sharp whistles, splitting into hundreds of teams of varying sizes, charging towards a human settlement on the eastern side of the Great Berlin City.

On the way, these blood servant warriors deliberately made a huge commotion. They lit huge bonfires on the plains, then covered them with thick wet grass, sending hundreds of black smoke columns straight into the sky.

They also threw various loud human-made bombs everywhere, the 'boom' sounds echoing far and wide, scaring the Great Berlin City's hunting teams fleeing in disarray!

These mercenary teams, who went out to hunt various demon beasts and birds for sale, had the largest team of no more than a hundred people. How could they dare to fight the blood servant army of the Yin clan? Whether in individual strength or equipment, they were far inferior to the blood servant army of the Yin clan!

But there were still unfortunate human mercenary teams who could not escape in time and were surrounded by the blood servant army commanded by Yin Xuege. After a brief exchange of fire, these mercenaries despairingly dropped their weapons! If it were just the blood servant army, they might have fought to the death, trying to break through and escape. But when they saw the three-headed dragon eagles slowly circling overhead, they all lost the courage to resist!

Yin Xuege's large army swept past the edge of the Great Berlin City, with the closest blood servant squad being less than twenty miles from the city walls.

Along the way, they captured thousands of unfortunate mercenaries and farmers, tying them to the back of the magic cars and dragging them slowly forward. It took three days, giving the Great Berlin City enough time to prepare, before Yin Xuege's army finally reached Fanluer City, over seven hundred kilometers from the Great Berlin City.

This was a settlement of the Great Berlin City, with a population of over a million in Fanluer City. It was a city mainly focused on fish and mining.

On the edge of Fanluer City was a vast lake stretching for nearly a thousand kilometers, rich in various delicious lake fish and shrimp. Nearby was a mountain range with a natural gold sand mine and several important metal mines, all of which were of great value to the Great Berlin City—like the metal wall of the Great Berlin City, stretching for thousands of kilometers and a hundred meters high, which consumed a large amount of metal from Fanluer City.

Yin Xuege's large army made a loud noise as they approached, not only not concealing their tracks but also making a huge commotion.

So when they leisurely arrived outside Fanluer City, it had already turned into a fortified fortress. The metal city walls, dozens of meters high, had all the gates covered with heavy armor plates. The walls were densely lined with countless defensive weapons, and over a hundred thousand soldiers and militiamen gathered on the walls, looking at the approaching Yin clan army with a mix of panic and despair.

The low sound of war drums echoed, and the thirty thousand blood servant warriors of the Yin clan formed an attack formation outside Fanluer City. Dozens of heavy mortars with shocking calibers were dragged out from behind the magic cars and lined up in a row less than ten miles from the city walls.

A farmer, dressed in tattered clothes, trembling and captured by the blood servant army on the way, approached the city walls of Fanluer City with a white flag. He stood under the city walls and shouted loudly: "The noble lords from the Yin clan say, please lay down your weapons and surrender! The lords promise that if you lay down your weapons and do not resist, you will not be killed!"

"Anyone who dares to attack the lords will be killed, and their relatives will be drained of their blood!"

In response to the farmer, a fist-sized fireball whistled down from the city walls.

Amidst the惨叫声中，火球落在了农民的身上，一团烈焰包裹了他的身体，将他烧得在地上连连翻滚，过了好一阵子，这个农民才气绝停下了撕心裂肺的惨嚎。

In the midst of the惨叫声中, the fireball landed on the farmer's body, a ball of flames enveloping him, burning him as he rolled on the ground in agony. After a while, the farmer finally stopped his heart-wrenching screams, having died.
