CHAPTER XVIII

For a moment, I saw that the ground in the forest arched slightly, and a mound of earth continued to rise. With a bang, Xuanzhong, who was holding an iron rod, jumped out. He looked reluctant, and said to Zhang Lie in a sullen voice: "Why do you call Xuan Chonglai?" I don't kill. ”

Zhang Lie said: "I'm not asking you to kill, you just need..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a voice say in surprise: "Xuanzhong, aren't you Xuanzhong?" ”

Zhang Lie turned his head in astonishment, but saw Zhuo Lingyu looking at Xuan Chong with a look of surprise. After being stunned for a moment, Xuan Chong's stunned face showed an unexpected expression, and then it turned into ecstasy: "Benefactor, you are a benefactor!" ”

This change was so abrupt that Zhang Lie didn't react for a while. Just when he was wondering how Xuan Zhong could know this kid, Zhang Zhimeng remembered something and immediately shouted badly.

When he first met Genzhong, he once said that there was a young cultivator of the human race who saved his life, and the reason why Genzhong insisted on not killing people was because of this person. At that time, Zhang Lie always thought he was joking, but he didn't expect it to be true.

The bad thing is that at this critical moment, let Xuanzhong meet this person; What's worse is that the other party is your own enemy; To make matters worse, I don't know what to do with my heavy brain.

At this time, Xuanzhong didn't care about anything else, and ran towards Zhuo Lingyu in a hurry. Like a pet, Zhuo Lingyu touched his bald head and smiled: "I didn't expect to meet you here, have you been okay all these years?" ”

Xuan Da shook his head vigorously: "It's not good, Xuan Chong's home was robbed by the fox demon, and he was deceived to a strange place, and he was cooked by Jian Xian in a cauldron every day, and now he was sent out again, Xuan Chong is not happy at all." ”

"Jian Xian?" Zhuo Lingyu said in surprise: "Do you know where Jian Xian is?" ”

Xuan nodded emphatically: "I know, Jian Xian is here..."

Seeing that things were not good, Zhang Lie shouted angrily: "Xuanzhong, do you want Jian Xian to punish you?" ”

The body instinctively shuddered, and Xuan Zhong was immediately silent, and waved his hand again and again: "No, I don't want to." ”

"Then shut up immediately!" Zhang Lie scared him and said, "Otherwise, Jian Xian will definitely not let you go." ”

Zhang Lie secretly sighed that the world really couldn't be as expected, and he wanted to ask Xuan Zhong to help, but he didn't know that it would cause a bigger trouble. Now it's not about how to convince Xuan Zhong to help him, but to find a way to get rid of this guy quickly, otherwise a bad one is very likely to lose everything.

Seeing that Xuan Zhong was afraid of this, Zhuo Lingyu said strangely: "Jian Xian is not here, what are you afraid of?" Don't be afraid, tell him where he is, and I'll protect you when the time comes. ”

However, Xuan Chong, who was not very bright-minded, was surprisingly smart at this time, and he waved his hand again and again: "No, Jian Xian is very powerful, you can't beat him." Xuanzhong can't hide anything from him, I don't dare to say. ”

Seeing Zhuo Lingyu so close to a monster, Tianyue and the others were dumbfounded. Hong Daoyang said strangely: "Ling Yu, who is he?" ”

Zhuo Lingyu said, "Master, have you forgotten?" That year, we rescued a monster in Qinling, and it was Xuanzhong. I didn't expect him to remember me after so many years. ”

"Oh?" Hong Daoyang's heart moved slightly, and he said to Xuanzhong: "Xuanzhong, do you still remember me?" ”

Xuan nodded his head: "You are also a benefactor, he is a small benefactor, and you are a big benefactor." ”

With a sigh, Hong Daoyang said, "Then will you kill us?" ”

Xuanzhong hurriedly defended: "Xuanzhong won't kill his benefactor, the little benefactor told me not to kill, Xuanzhong hasn't killed anyone for so many years." ”

Zhuo Lingyu said happily: "Really? You really haven't killed anyone? ”

Hong Daoyang said: "But now this monster wants to kill me, and Ling Yu, what should I do?" ”

Xuan Chong was stunned for a moment, and immediately looked at Zhang Lie: "Are you going to kill them?" ”

Zhang Lie said in a deep voice: "It's none of your business, leave immediately." ”

"No, you want to kill Xuanzhong's benefactor, Xuanzhong doesn't allow you to do this." I didn't know that Xuanzhong actually said to him.

There was nothing he could do about this guy, so Zhang Lie could only say again: "Don't you listen to me?" ”

Unexpectedly, Xuanzhong was surprisingly stubborn this time, hesitated for a moment, and then slammed the iron rod to the ground: "No, Xuanzhong can't let you kill your benefactor." If you want to kill them, Xuanzhong will beat you! ”

Zhang Lie didn't know what to do with this guy for a while, but Hong Daoyang knew that he couldn't miss the opportunity, and he immediately said to Zhuo Lingyu: "Ling Yu, call this monster!" ”

Zhuo Lingyu said with some hesitation: "But Master, Xuan respects him..."

Xu Zexin interrupted him: "Ling Yu, when did you still take care of a monster?" Look at how many of your senior brothers were killed by Zhang Lie? Don't tell him to do it yet! ”

Looking back at the scarred crowd and the plane that fell into scrap metal in the distance, Zhuo Lingyu gritted his teeth, turned his head and shouted: "Xuanzhong, Zhang Lie will definitely kill me, you... Hit him for me! ”

"Are you really going to kill your benefactor?" Listening to Zhuo Lingyu's words, Xuan Chong's eyes immediately turned red.

Zhang Lie was about to explain, but Xuan Zhong had already shouted, and he couldn't help but wave an iron rod and rush over. couldn't help but sigh that his luck had been very bad since he came back from Japan, and Zhang had no choice but to accept it.

In terms of strength, Xuan Zhong is definitely not Zhang Lie's opponent. But simply he was dedicated to protecting Zhuo Lingyu, and Zhang Lie had to watch out for Xu Zexin and others on the side, but he was entangled by the crazy Xuanzhong for a while.

From the crash to the present, there have been many strange changes in the field, and the development of the situation is no longer under the control of any one person. Lever, who was watching the game from the sidelines, looked very interested, and seemed to enjoy the pleasure of watching from the sidelines.

Seeing that Zhang Lie was entangled by Xuanzhong, under Hong Daoyang's signal, Xu Zexin and others posted to both sides. Just as he was about to make a move, he suddenly heard an exclamation from behind: "You, what are you going to do?" ”

Turning their heads in shock, everyone saw that John had woken up at some point, and the two disciples of the Sect of Magic, who were guarding him, were pushed aside. He hugged Anne and said vigilantly, "What is this place?" Who are you? ”

Hong Daoyang took a step forward and said: "The old man is Hong Daoyang, the head of Emei, you were taken to the South China Sea Cliff by this banshee and have been in a coma until now, and we are preparing to send you back to Emei." ”

"South Sea Cliffs?" John was puzzled and said, "What is that, how is my wound healed?" ”

Finally getting out of Xuanzhong's entanglement, Zhang Lie sneered when he heard this: "Did you forget it so quickly? If it weren't for saving you, Anne would have been captured. If she falls into the hands of these people, there will be no way out. ”

"It turned out to save meβ€”" John looked down at Anne in his arms.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Xu Zexin hurriedly said: "Don't listen to this monster's nonsense, they are here to arrest you, come with us!" ”

"Are you really planning to do Anne bad?" John asked abruptly.

couldn't help but be stunned, Xu Zexin didn't know how to answer for a while. Hong Daoyang took something out of his arms and threw it to John, who took it and saw that it was his Knights Templar's necklace.

Seeing him staring at the necklace, Hong Daoyang said in a deep voice, "As a Templar, do you want to have an unclear relationship with youkai?" ”

Zhang Lie raised his voice and said: "In order to save you, Anne became like this, do you want to abandon her now?" ”

Several people said their own things, all persuading John to go to his side, and under the "attack" of everyone, John's face showed obvious hesitation, and obviously his heart was extremely conflicted.

At this time, Deng Zexin was about to speak, and John suddenly shouted: "Shut up, don't say it again!" ”

As he spoke, he threw the Templar Knights' necklace back to Hong Daoyang: "Now that I am no longer a Templar, anything I do has nothing to do with the Holy See. ”

"You..." I didn't expect him to do this, Hong Daoyang was speechless for a while.

Zhang Lie was very happy: "Come with us, Anne's injury needs to be treated immediately." ”

"Nope." John shook his head and refused: "I'll take Anne away alone, and don't come with any of you." ”

"You guys, and you." As he spoke, he pointed to Hong Daoyang and the others, as well as Zhang Lie and Lever, respectively: "You all have bad intentions, I won't hand over Anne to any of you!" ”

As he spoke, he slowly retreated to the dense forest behind him with Anne in his arms, and when he was at a safe distance, John turned and ran. After all, he was a Templar, and John quickly disappeared into the woods after recovering from his injuries.

Levell's face sank and he was about to step forward to arrest someone, but Zhang Lie stopped him and whispered: "Now is not the time, let him take Anne away, you just let a fly follow." The most important thing now is not to let these people get Annie. ”

Seeing that Hong Daoyang and the others were also eager to stop John, Lever smiled, quietly bent his fingers and released an invisible demon fly, and then walked up with Zhang Lie.

"Let them go, and no one should chase them." Zhang Lie said with a grin.

After hesitating, Hong Daoyang waved his hand to stop Zhuo Lingyu and the others who were about to chase: "Don't chase." ”

At this moment, both sides are scarred, but there is a Leaver of unknown origin on Zhang Lie's side, and Hong Daoyang weighs the pros and cons and understands that it is not beneficial for his side to have a conflict. Now that things have evolved into the current situation, the first priority is to protect Zhuo Lingyu and the other juniors from being poisoned.

Snorted unwillingly, Xu Ze said to Xuan Zhong abruptly: "Zhang Lie wants to kill Ling Yu again, why don't you come over to help?" ”

Xuan Zhong looked at both sides a little helplessly, and Zhang Lie shouted: "Don't believe his words, I won't kill anyone." ”

He knew that John's footsteps had now run far away, and it was time to leave, and he had to take Xuanzhong away, otherwise Jian Xian's hideout would be very likely to be exposed.

"But I... Iβ€”" Xuanzhong still hesitated.

Zhang Lie said: "Aren't you afraid that I will turn around and kill them again?" If you're not sure, come with me. ”

Xuan Zhong finally made up his mind, and he said to Zhuo Lingyu: "Xuan Zhong is leaving, and Xuan Zhong will come to you again in the future." ”

Zhuo Lingyu opened his mouth, as if he wanted Xuanzhong to stay, but he finally said, "Then you should be careful." ”

Taking back Shalai, Lever turned around and left, and then Zhang Lie also dragged the reluctant Xuanzhong away. Soon only Hong Daoyang and his party were left in the field.

"Alliance leader, what now?" Xu Zexin asked.

This attack not only killed and injured many disciples, but even Anne was rescued, I didn't expect that it would end up like this in the case of my own absolute advantage, Hong Daoyang also felt a lot for a while.

It seems that there is still a long way to go before these monsters can be truly subdued...

Thinking of this, he shook his head self-deprecatingly: "Let's go back first, and wait until the injured people are settled." ”

"Yes." In response, the group also left.

At this time, on a mountain in the distance, Zhang Lie was also asking Levell, "Have you been following that guy?" ”

With a smile, Lever didn't speak, just motioned for Zhang Lie to follow, and the two soon disappeared into the reckless mountains.

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

At the same time, Spain, the secret gathering place of the Camarilla Alliance.

Pared sat behind a large solid wood writing desk, holding his chin and looking at Blatter in front of him motionlessly. Somehow, he always felt that Blatter in front of him had an indescribable strange temperament, but he couldn't say what it was, which made Parid's heart full of doubts.

Blatter had returned to the clan abruptly this morning, but it was strange that Pared did not receive him immediately, as usual, and waited until evening to summon Blatter into his study.

Finally, Pared broke the silence: "Blatter, are you okay these days?" ”

Blatter bowed his head deeply: "Thank you, I'm fine." ”

"How's Jude?"

After a pause, Blatter said slowly, "He's dead." ”

Pared gave a surprised expression: "Oh? Was he killed by Zhang Lie? ”

A hint of pain flashed in Blatter's eyes: "No, I killed it, I killed it myself..."

With his hands crossed over the bridge of his nose, Pared stared at Blatter with a pair of blue eyes without blinking. When he heard the news of Jude's death, he was not as happy as he expected, but a little overjoyed.

After a while, he slowly exhaled: "I'm sorry, Blatter, Jude is your only one..."

Knowing what he wanted to say, Blatter shook his head: "No, this is the path he chose himself. ”

With a sigh, Pared suddenly realized that at some point, there was nothing to say between himself and Blatter. Just like now, the two have not seen each other for many days, but when they meet, there are only these few polite greetings.

There was always an indescribable strange feeling in his heart, which made Parrid confused and uncomfortable, as if there was a thought that was flying in his head, but he couldn't grasp it.

Shaking his head and deciding not to pay attention to it, Pared said to Blatter: "Jude's death should have been a big mess, but they have been surprisingly calm during this time, which is very strange, maybe the other party is plotting revenge, we must be vigilant." In any case, you have made great contributions to Kamarilla, I will praise you well, you have worked hard these days, you should go down and recuperate for a while. ”

Nodding without saying a word, Blatter got up and walked out the door. At this time, Pared asked coldly, "Did Jude mention anything to you before he died?" ”

After a pause, Blatter was silent for a moment and said slowly: "No." ”

"Really?" "There is no best," said Parid, "the people of the Devil's Feast are the best at demagogy, so don't take anything you hear seriously. ”

"Yes, I understand."

After taking two steps, Blatter suddenly asked, "How much do you know about the 'Blood King'?" ”

"The Blood King?" Pared was taken aback: "What are you asking for?" ”

"Do you know something?" Blatter stubbornly asked.

Exhaling slowly, Pared said, "The Blood King is just an ancient legend of our Blood Clan, it is written in our vampire Bible, but no one has seen it in these thousands of years. I think it's just some kind of metaphor left by the first Bloodline, and he doesn't actually exist. ”

Nodding, Blatter said again, "By the way, is that place still there?" ”

"You meanβ€”" Staring at Blatter's back, Parid's brow furrowed.

"This is where I was born, or made..."

Pared became more and more surprised: "Blat, what are you hearing outside?" ”

Blatter said calmly: "You misunderstood, I just suddenly felt a little nostalgic and wanted to revisit the old place." ”

"Nostalgia?" There was a hint of mockery in Parid's eyes: "This word doesn't fit our bloodline, you're too human, Blat." That place has long been destroyed, you know that. ”

"Really? What a pity. So... Good bye. With a salute to Parid, Blatter turned to leave.

Until Blatter's figure disappeared behind the door, Pared didn't look away. At this moment, a figure flashed behind a row of bookshelves behind him, and a person had already walked out.

Not surprised by this person's appearance, Pared didn't even look back and said, "Maloney, what do you think?" ”

The person who came was none other than Maloney, the Blood Elder who was supposed to die. At the moment, he looked worried: "Blatter seems to have sensed something. ”

Pared turned his head and glanced at him, "How much do you think he knows?" ”

Maloney walked up behind Pared and stood respectfully: "I don't think Blatter knows much, otherwise he wouldn't have come to ask you." But he clearly had doubts in his mind, and this was not a good thing. ”

Pared reached out a little tiredly and stroked his cheek repeatedly: "Yes, this son always worries me. Thankfully, Jude is dead, and the Blood Lord will never be seen again, which is the most important thing to our plans. ”

"But is Blatter's mention of that place really unintentional?" Maloney stopped talking.

Pared waved his hand: "It's okay, with the commissioning equipment already there, our secret army is all ready, and we can save ourselves from the worries of destroying it after the operation in a few days." ”

After a pause, he said again: "By the way, how is the intelligence collected over there?" ”

Maloney immediately said: "I was about to report this to you, the Holy See is ready to start the operation, and the last piece of Pandora's Box is also in their hands, and the Pope is planning to use it as a bait to lure the alliance into the trap." ”

There was excitement in Parid's eyes: "Great, everything went according to plan. When they are both defeated, all the parts will fall into the hands of our Camarilla, and with that Romanian thing, the day when we will rule this planet will not be far off. ”

Maloney bowed his head respectfully: "This is all your wise leadership. ”

"O Constantine IV, because of me, you have achieved the greatest victory of your life at the Vatican, but soon you will taste the greatest failure of your life, a defeat that you will never be able to turn over..."

In the room, Parid's muttering could be heard.
