CHAPTER XIII

A few days later, news of the capture of Futian City had spread throughout China.

The demon clan was naturally overjoyed by this, and the youkai who had to hide in the shadows in order to survive saw hope for the first time. It can be said that the impact of this move was unexpectedly great, and those monsters who didn't know who Anmeng was soon learned about his glorious deeds through various rumors, so that Annihilation once again became the leader of the demon clan in the world after four hundred years.

These days, there are constantly monsters defecting to the command of Annihilation, which makes his power continue to grow. On the other hand, the major art sects also fell into new quarrels due to the loss of Floating Heaven City.

The four major factions accused the small and medium-sized art factions of leaving their posts without authorization, and even causing great disasters; Naturally, the various factions were not to be outdone, and in turn accused the four major factions of arrogance and self-inflicted blame; And within the Emei faction, because of the loss that night, Zhuo Lingyu's qualifications as the head of the sect were also questioned. All factions are in turmoil.

Thankfully, however, all factions realized that they had not been able to wipe out the demon clan in one fell swoop, and were ready to move again, and the biggest enemy was currently outside and not inside, so there was no further split.

The sudden appearance of the Annihilation naturally received the greatest attention, and each faction sent disciples to inquire about the news, and the activities of the previously dormant monsters were also more frequent than ever. For a time, in the dark places that ordinary people did not know, the two sides were constantly fighting, and to some extent, it was like returning to the days of-for-tat confrontation between demons before the Battle of the Vatican.

The impact of the First Battle of Futian City in China was no less than that of the Battle of the Vatican. Now Animon is busy consolidating his expanding power; The factions are too busy arguing to re-cooperate for the time being; The fox demon clan suffered heavy losses and concentrated on recuperation; Zhang Lie returned to the secluded mountain, and his movements were unknown...

Therefore, although there were small groups of monsters and sect disciples who clashed all over the country, in terms of the overall situation, both humans and demons temporarily entered a period of calm.

However, it is conceivable that once a certain party recovers, it will definitely break the current situation. What will break out at that time will be the fiercest battle, and it will not stop until one side is completely wiped out.

As a result, the West was attacked by the dragon, and the East was raised by the extinction of Mongolia, and they were all in a storm...

Within the Fox Demon Clan.

"What the hell are you doing these days?" Qu Li blamed Yan Hui and said.

Yan Hui lowered his head deeply: "Yiye watched very closely, I didn't find a chance to start." ”

"Hmph, idiot." Qu Li snorted heavily: "Wasted such a good opportunity." ”

As he spoke, he showed a smug smile again: "But this time the losses are heavy, Qi Cheng lost his life, Shuoguang was seriously injured, and it was a big blow to Tianzang." As long as I secretly stir up the discontent of my clansmen, I may be able to take the position of patriarch without bloodshed. Hmph, this son has let him sit for more than a hundred years, and it's time to return to me. ”

"Yes, the Great Elder is wise." Yan Hui said flatteringly: "It won't be long before I can call you the patriarch." ”

"Hahahaha..."Qu Li smirked and said, "If I succeed to the throne, you will be the first elder under me, do it well, I will never treat you badly." ”

"Yes." Yan Hui bowed in response, but there was an imperceptible mockery in his eyes.

**********************************************************************

Located in a secluded mountain.

These days, the news of the growing power of destroying Mongolia has been reaching Zhang Lie's ears one after another, which makes him feel quite anxious, but he can't think of anything for a while, so he can only watch the destruction of Mongolia sit big.

The King of the Corpse did not show any dissatisfaction with the defeat that night, but instead allocated nearly 1,000 ghost soldiers to Zhang Lie to make up for his losses, but since then he has not expressed anything, and his intentions are unknown. Zhang Lie couldn't think of any way to break the current deadlock for a while, so he had to stay in the secluded mountain for the time being.

It has been like this for more than half a month, on this day, Zhang Lie was discussing with Jian Xian, and a ghost soldier suddenly came to report, saying that he had caught a monster outside the secluded mountain and asked to see Zhang Lie by name.

"A youkai?" Zhang Lie Daqi, could it be that he was sent to challenge by Annihilation?

He asked, "Who sent him?" What do you want me to do? ”

The ghost soldier said, "He said he was a messenger to deliver messages on behalf of a vampire named Blat. ”

Zhang Lie immediately got up: "Take me quickly." ”

Due to the closed state of the secluded mountain, there is no modern equipment such as satellite phones, and all the outside news is reported by the Yin Spirits sent by the King of the Corpse through special secret methods, although the outside information can be obtained in time, but relatively it is very difficult to find the people inside. Zhang Lie is in it, which can be regarded as isolation from the world in another sense.

As the ghost soldiers came outside, Zhang Lie finally saw the messenger. After some questioning, he learned that a vampire approached Hu Zhong a week ago and asked him to help find Zhang Lie and deliver a letter for Blatter.

After dealing with Zhang Lie a few times, Hu Chong knew that he was hiding in the secluded mountain, but for various reasons, Hu Chong was reluctant to get involved in things related to Zhang Lie at first. It wasn't until a few days ago that he took the risk of sending a crony of a cronie to find him after receiving a large sum of money from the Blood Clan and being threatened again.

That said, Blatter's letter was at least a week ago, and that was enough time for anything to happen. scolded Hu Zhong in his heart, and Zhang Lie hurriedly grabbed the letter.

The letter was sealed in a normal envelope with a blood seal, but what really protected the letter was the secret seal used by the Special Operations Group. Each Einsatzgruppen has its own set of secret communication methods to ensure that the communication between them is not leaked, and if it is not a member of the group, outsiders will not be able to interpret the information, and this seal of protection letter is one of them.

After confirming that this was indeed the seal used by the fourth group, Zhang Lie unraveled it with ease. There was only a piece of incense paper printed with a delicate pattern, on which was written a sentence in beautiful blood script: I have found something in Romania, come quickly.

It's Blatter's handwriting, but what does this brainless sentence mean? Zhang Lie pondered for a long time with the letterhead, and finally decided to go.

Anyway, there is a stalemate in the country for the time being, and it is useless to stay here by yourself, and there may be new discoveries in Romania. If it weren't for a special event, Blatter would never have looked for himself.

Thinking of this, he said to the monster: "Immediately ask Hu Chong to arrange a plane and passport for me." ”

The monster said: "When the blood envoy left, he had left a special plane, and he could set off at any time if he found you. There is no problem with passports, and they have already arranged it. ”

Zhang Lie couldn't help but be speechless, being rich is different. Having received the wealth that Camarilla and the Demon Feast had accumulated for thousands of years, Blatter was now a wealthy country, and with his dullness with money, he would not be surprised to do anything.

After thinking about it, he said again: "Do you have a phone?" ”

The monster nodded, took out a sea-style satellite phone from the compartment of the off-road vehicle behind him and handed it to Zhang Lie. Dialing the phone from the hideout of the Luoshanji Blood Clan, the other party learned that he was Zhang Lie, and his attitude became very respectful.

However, when Zhang Lie asked about Blat's whereabouts, the vampire had no idea, only saying that Blatter and Anne left together more than ten days ago, and even Elder Van Gadi did not accompany him, and there has been no news these days.

Hanging up the phone, Zhang Lie became more and more convinced that Blatter had found something special. After saying goodbye to Jian Xian, Zhang Lie left with the monster, and left China on a special plane left by the blood clan that night.

After getting on the plane, Zhang Lie found that there were special marks on the necks of the pilots and flight attendants, obviously slaves belonging to the blood clan. There was only one passenger on a huge plane, and he was happy to relax.

After dozens of hours of flight, Zhang Lie landed in Bucharest, the capital of Romania, and the ability of the blood clan to do things is indeed commendable, as soon as he stepped out of the airport, he was connected to a car.

After a few successive transfers, Zhang Lie finally met Blatter and Anne in a small town in the mountains of central Romania, less than three days after he left the mountain.

**********************************************************************

Zhang Lie walked into the room, and the man who had sent him all the way saluted Blat, and then respectfully withdrew. Seeing the doubt in Zhang Lie's eyes, Blatter explained: "These people have nothing to do with the blood clan, and I spent a little means to buy the gangsters here to do things for me." ”

"Amazing, I'm very impressed with your financial resources along the way." Zhang Lie quipped. At the same time, he became more and more strange about what made Blatter so cautious that he had to hide it from his own people.

The town is very remote, but the people are simple, and no one asks about the origin of Blatter, a "high roller". The only hotel in the area where they stayed, and now it was all owned by Blatter.

The inn is old, but very clean, with smooth wooden floors, handmade tapestries, carved panes, slightly rusty candlesticks... Everything is so well preserved that it is like going back to 18th century Europe.

However, Zhang Lie naturally didn't have the heart to appreciate these, his mind was full of questions. Pulling up a chair and sitting down, he couldn't wait to ask, "Why are you so anxious to find me here?" ”

After exchanging glances with Anne, Brazzle nodded and said, "Anne and I have been waiting for you for many days, let me explain it to you now." So saying, he took two pieces of parchment from his bosom and laid them on the table.

"What is this?" Seeing the parchment scroll full of blood characters, Zhang Lie's eyes narrowed slightly.

"As you may know, this is the 'Bible' of our Bloodline, and it was divided into two pieces, one for the Demon Feast and the other for Camarilla, and this is the first time in more than a thousand years that they have come together." Blatter said.

Zhang Lie couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, obviously asking, what does this have to do with me coming here?

Blatter gestured to him to calm down, and then said, "This is the piece in Camarilla's hand, and it contains Pandora's box." As he spoke, he pointed to the parchment scroll on his left.

Zhang Lie had seen this parchment scroll, and before the Battle of the Vatican, the Elders showed it when they explained the mission to their four special operations teams. The pattern of Pandora's box painted on it was clearly visible, and Zhang Lie was full of emotion when he looked at this thing that had brought the entire non-human race to where it is today.

At this time, Blatter had already pointed to another piece of parchment and said, "This is the piece in the hand of the Demon Banquet, and it is recorded on this piece..." ”

"What!?" Zhang Lie woke up from his contemplation, and he said in surprise: "Isn't Noah's Ark another interpretation of Pandora's box?" Why is there another Noah's ark here? ”

"I used to think so," said Bradt, "but after carefully studying these two parchment scrolls during this time, I found that this is not the case. In order to realize his personal conspiracy, Pared deliberately misled us that Pandora's Box and Noah's Ark were two different things. ”

As he spoke, he pointed to an obscure ancient blood script on the parchment scroll and said, "It is clearly recorded here that when Pandora's Box caused a flood, all races on the earth, including humans and non-humans, boarded Noah's ark together to survive, not that this flood only hit mankind as we thought. ”

Zhang Lie's eyebrows slowly twisted: "In this way, our guess is correct, once the flood is triggered, not only human beings will be killed, we will not be able to escape like the human race." ”

Brad nodded: "That's true, it can be said that no matter who made them, Pandora's Box and Noah's Ark are interdependent. ”

Zhang Lie's doubts were relieved, and another doubt arose: "Guessing from Parid's words before he died, he knew about the existence of Noah's Ark, so why did he..."

Speaking of this, a terrible thought flashed through his mind, and Zhang Lie changed color. Facing his gaze, Blatter said in a deep voice, "You're right, Parid's ambition is far more terrifying than we imagined. He was going to use Pandora's Box to launch a great flood, and then let the Bloods escape on Noah's Ark, so that after the flood, the Bloods could enslave all the other races. ”

Even though Pared was dead, Zhang Lie couldn't help but gasp. Parid's ambitions were terrifying, and he planned so well that even his own people would sacrifice them. As a result, the entire inhuman alliance became an accomplice and burial object of his conspiracy, and it ended up in today's situation.

Fortunately, Zhang Lie did not succeed under a series of mistakes, otherwise it would be hard to imagine what the world would be like if he was allowed to complete his plan.

After being stunned, Zhang Lie finally asked the doubt in his heart: "So, you have found it?" ”

Blatter did not answer directly, but said, "Before Jude died, he told me that the Bloodline has a great secret hidden in Romania. I thought it was the base that made me and him, but then it turned out that it wasn't. After studying the Bible carefully, I was sure that he was referring to Noah's ark. ”

Zhang Lie wondered: "Since the parchment scroll that records Noah's Ark is in Jude's hand, and he knows this secret, why didn't he find out this thing?" ”

Blatter pointed to the parchment scroll on the table and said, "These two parchment scrolls are one piece, so they must be gathered together to get the location of the ark." And it's not that simple, and there are two issues involved. ”

"What's the problem?" Zhang Lie blurted out. During this time, Anne did not speak, but listened quietly, apparently Blatter had discussed it with her a few days ago.
