Chapter 816: Source Blood Offering
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Mo Wen’s silhouette appeared silently in the room. He stood right behind the black shadow like a ghostly apparition. Even the black shadow had not noticed him immediately.
“Who’s there?” The black shadow suddenly turned around. He looked behind him with a crimson gaze. He actually did not realize that someone was behind him.
“I am Mo Wen. Weren’t you looking for me?” Mo Wen said nonchalantly.
With a wave of his hand, a pale mass of spiritual aura light landed on Huo Changxing’s body. A mass of black Qi was sucked out of him. Huo Changxing instantly regained consciousness.
“Mo Wen, why are you here?” At first, Huo Changxing was shocked. He still had a look of doubt in his eyes. But when he turned and looked at the black robed man, he immediately understood what was going on. This was the person who had entered his bedroom and had started to interrogate him about Mo Wen’s whereabouts. As for what happened after that, he did not know at all.
“You are the person from Hua Xia who took the Sacred Embryo Incarnation?” The black-robed man looked at Mo Wen with a sinister gaze. The Sacred Embryo Incarnation was an item of utmost importance to the Blood Kindred. If he could get his hands on a Sacred Embryo Incarnation, he would have a high chance of achieving a breakthrough and becoming a Marquis. This damned person from Hua Xia had actually dared to take such an important treasure of the Blood Kindred!
“The Sacred Embryo Incarnation is with me. Take it from me if you can.” Mo Wen flipped his hand and a jade bottle appeared on his palm. A very pure Vigor Qi seeped out of the small bottle, instantly filling the courtyard.
“It is the Sacred Embryo Incarnation. Hand it over!” the black-robed man shouted loudly. His hand became a flash of light that prepared to snatch the precious object. However, Mo Wen’s silhouette disappeared in an instant from its original spot.
The black-robed man was rather frightening. Before he entered the courtyard, Mo Wen had realized that the aura of this vampire was comparable to that of a third realm Martial Arts Grandmaster. The vampire was not much weaker than the young master of the Ghost Lair. If Mo Wen fought against such a strong practitioner, the entire Huo Clan old manor would most likely be destroyed.
“You actually intend to escape. You seek death!” the black-robed man coldly snorted. He became a mass of crimson Qi and chased Mo Wen by bursting through the roof. In an instant, the two of them had disappeared from the house.
Huo Changxing looked at the two of them leaving one after another. He bit down on his teeth and flew up, preparing to chase them. Mo Wen had come to rescue him. He could not let Mo Wen face that frightening black-robed man alone.
Right now, he had already recalled the identity of this black-robed man. He was a vampire! This evil race had once again come looking for him. They had clearly come for the Sacred Embryo Incarnation.
However, Huo Changxing had not left the house, when an absolute aura pressed down on him, instantly forcing him back to the ground.
“I will handle this. You stay there. However, be careful of other vampires coming. I have already informed the Huatian Palace of this matter. You can seek help from them.” Mo Wen’s voice came from above. In the blink of an eye, he flew off into the distance.
“Such a frightening aura!” Huo Changxing’s heart trembled. Just now, he had been unable to resist the aura that Mo Wen released. He was an Embryonic Breathing Realm ancient martial art practitioner. What realm was Mo Wen at?
Thinking that vampires might possibly come looking for him, Huo Changxing’s expression instantly turned serious. It was impossible for just the Huo Clan to go against existences such as the Blood Kindred. It was likely that any slightly stronger vampire had the ability to eliminate the Huo Clan.
Fortunately, Mo Wen had reported this matter to the Huatian Palace. If they had their protection, the Blood Kindred would not dare to commit an act that would eliminate a clan in Hua Xia. The problem was with him. If the Blood Kindred were only after him, the Huatian Palace would be unlikely to care too much. It seemed that he would need to go into hiding for a while.
Mo Wen’s figure leaned forward, and he flew above the clouds. In an instant, he covered thousands of meters, creating a long passageway through the clouds. Behind him, a mass of black Qi was tailing him. The speed of the mass of black Qi was rather astonishing. However, it did not manage to catch up with him.
Near the capital, the largest ancient mountain range was the Taihang Mountains. It covered the area of a few provinces. Once Mo Wen left the Huo Clan old manor, he headed towards the Taihang Mountains.
The black-robed man kept chasing r Mo Wen, but he was surprised to discover that he could not catch up with the youth in front of him.
He was a Blood Kindred Grand Earl, just a step away from being a Marquis. Among the Hua Xia ancient martial art practitioners, only third realm Martial Arts Grandmasters had the ability to compare with him. Also, speed was initially his advantage. The Blood Kindred were a race born of the sky. However, right now, he could not even keep up with a youth of Hua Xia Country. Since when had the youths of Hua Xia Country become so powerful?
The black-robed man’s expression turned serious. If he kept chasing the youth like this, he most likely would be left behind.
“You in front, stop! If you keep running, I will return and kill the entire clan. Hand over the Sacred Embryo Incarnation, and I can let bygones be bygones,” the black-robed man said as he watched Mo Wen’s silhouette.
If this person was hell-bent on escaping, he would truly be unable to catch up with him. However, he was not foolish. He knew that Mo Wen had certainly appeared in the Huo Clan suddenly to rescue them.
“If you dare to kill off the members of the Huo Clan, I guarantee all you that none of the vampires in Hua Xia will ever leave,” Mo Wen said as he continued to fly.
“Did you think I wouldn’t dare?” The black-robed man’s expression turned ugly.
“Huatian Palace has already been monitoring all the movements of your Blood Kindred in Hua Xia. Try if you dare,” Mo Wen said with a faint smile on his face.
Upon hearing this, the black-robed man was slightly stunned. This time, their trip to Hua Xia was part of a secret operation. It was absolutely impossible for the Huatian Palace to catch wind of it, let alone monitor them.
“Don’t make a mistake. Leave Hua Xia as soon as possible. Otherwise, don’t expect that you will be able to return home.”
Since the item had ended up in his hands, Mo Wen had no intention of returning it. This was Hua Xia, not Europe. These vampires should no dare to act too arrogantly.
As they talked, the two of them had already flown deep into the Taihang Mountains.
The black-robed man’s expression was ugly beyond compare. He did not know why the Huatian Palace had suddenly targeted them, but he felt Mo Wen was telling the truth. Also, how did Mo Wen know that he was at the Huo Clan old manor? He could not figure this out.
If the Huatian Palace was actually monitoring them, it would be difficult for their operation in Hua Xia to continue. Even if they found the Divine Blood, the Huatian Palace would intervene and not let them take it back to the Blood Kindred. Internationally, the Huatian Palace was notorious for being the most unreasonable faction. Very few western factions were willing to deal with them. Even huge organizations like the Gods Alliance and the Demon Gods Alliance were very rarely willing to come in contact with the Huatian Palace.
“You are most likely still curious as to how I know about your existence, right? You need to thank a member of your Blood Kindred called Carlos.” To further convince the black-robed man that the Huatian Palace had really targeted them, Mo Wen mentioned Carlos and Innell.
“D*mn! That b*stard Carlos. When I return, I will make sure he pays the price.” The black-robed man was infuriated. When Mo Wen mentioned Carlos and Innell, he completely believed Mo Wen.
“He does not need to pay the price. They dared to commit crimes in Hua Xia; they have already paid the price,” Mo Wen said.
“What happened to them?” The black-robed man was shocked. A bad premonition was welling up inside of him.
“A life for a life. Naturally, they are already dead. Our Hua Xia has always had a tradition of capital punishment. If you dare to massacre the Huo Clan, then the number of people you kill will be the number of people who will be buried along with you.”
Mo Wen was emphasizing that if the Blood Kindred dared to attack the Huo Clan, they would certainly be severely punished.
The black-robed man bit down on his teeth and clenched his fists. There was a rage in his heart, but he could not release it. Keeping it inside was very uncomfortable.
“Surrender the Sacred Embryo Incarnation and I will let you be. We will also withdraw from Hua Xia Country.” The black-robed man made his final decision. They most likely would be forced to stop the operation to find the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood. As a foreign faction, he understood the style of the Huatian Palace even more clearly. It was almost impossible for them to find the Blood ancestor’s Divine Blood from under the nose of Huatian Palace.
“Dream on. If you retreat now, maybe you can still make it. Otherwise, it is hard to say whether you will make it back alive.”
Why would Mo Wen hand over the Sacred Embryo Incarnation? The Sacred Embryo Incarnation contained pure Qi and blood. It was a top-grade precious ingredient for concocting special pills. To concoct special pills, some immortal cultivators were willing to risk the danger of punishment and killed large numbers of lower-level immortal cultivators to gather enough Qi and blood.
“An item of the Blood Kindred only belongs to the Blood Kindred. Did you think that I would be unable to take it back from you?”
The black-robed man’s face instantly turned cold. After discovering that negotiations were very unlikely to succeed, a murderous intent immediately welled up inside him. The Sacred Embryo Incarnation was too important to the Blood Kindred. Losing one of them was a huge loss. The race’s precious treasure was right before his eyes. He hardened his heart. No matter what, he had to take the Sacred Embryo Incarnation back.
A crimson flame surged from the black-robed man’s body. The crimson flame was like demonic fire. The gale that swept by due to flying at a high speed could not extinguish it. The black-robed man’s expression was pale beyond compare. His entire body seemed to have shriveled up quite a bit, but an absolute powerful aura swept out. It was completely terrifying.
“Source Blood Offering.” Mo Wen’s expression turned serious. The Blood Kindred’s Source Blood Offering was renowned; even he knew a little about it. This was a technique of the Blood Kindred that inflicted heavy casualties on the enemy but also heavily injured themselves. Once it was unleashed, the Source Blood in the Blood Kindred’s body would combust. The more it burned, the greater the effect on the body. If all their Source Blood was burnt away, this Blood Kindred would completely die.
However, not all Blood Kindred had Source Blood. Usually, only pureblood vampires possessed it. The offspring of two pureblood vampires would be born with some Source Blood. The Blood Kindred youth Carlos had a pureblood vampire for a father, but his mother was not a pureblood Blood Kindred, hence he had no Source Blood in his body.
Mo Wen had not expected that he would actually encounter a vampire with Source Blood. Usually, only Marquis vampires and above could possibly evolve into a pureblood vampire. With a pure bloodline in their body, they could give birth to Source Blood. Although this black-robed man’s cultivation was rather astonishing, he had not reached the level of a Marquis.
