Blood Ties Season 6 Episode 4
"You've been hiding in the shadows for so long, isn't it time to come out now? Or do I need to personally invite you?! This sudden shout was truly abrupt to the extreme. Although the pedestrians around couldn't hear it, the voice directly entered a place not far away."
The man in the dark was shocked to hear this, and immediately emerged from a nearby tree shade. He was a blond-haired, blue-eyed foreign young man who came respectfully to Li Yan's side and said in a somewhat strange and stiff voice: "Edward Vanco, nice to meet you, sir!"
As the times progress, Longtan City has already become a top-tier metropolis domestically, and even globally, it is one of the few bustling cities. With the price difference between East and West, it naturally attracts many foreigners to immigrate, whether for investment or immigration, both are common occurrences. Therefore, it's not uncommon to see a foreigner with golden hair or dark skin on the streets. However, encountering someone like Edward would no longer be an ordinary matter.
A sudden flash of sharp light flickered in Li Yan's eyes, falling on the foreign young man in front of him, and he spoke calmly: "Vance... if I'm not mistaken, that Nalan Mei should be your person, right?"
"Yes...yes, sir." Although it was just a sudden glance, at this moment, Edward Vandel felt an involuntary shiver. The pressure emanating from the other person was so strong that it was unfathomable, even surpassing that of his own king, making it hard to imagine.
"What about those other two?" Li Yan furrowed his brow and asked in a low voice, "Don't tell me you don't know anything."
"This," Edward Van Zand paused for a moment, hastily responding: "Return to the adults, I only know that they are assassins belonging to the largest killer organization in the world, Blood Spirit. As for the others, I really don't know."
Li Yan responded with a cold hum, and then calmly asked, "I heard that you entered China with special approval from the National Security Bureau?"
"Yes, yes." As he echoed, Edward Van der took out a small red notebook from his pocket and handed it to Li Yan.
He didn't even reach out to take it, just glanced at the small notebook and Li Yan immediately sensed a trace of fluctuation in the law, his heart slightly moved, and he had already guessed that this Security Bureau must be some cultivators who defected to the country and organized their forces. However, this was not something he wanted to get involved with. For now, since he already knew what he said was true, he calmly spoke out: "You don't have to be so cautious either, since you've already obtained the proof given by the National Security Bureau, as long as you're not within the borders of Huaxia, feel free to use your powers or do whatever you want, I won't interfere with your business. Of course, this is just my personal attitude."
As they spoke, he took a closer look at the young foreigner and found that Edward Vanco was a remarkably handsome young man with piercing blue eyes, high nose bridge, and an air of traditional British gentleman in his attire and demeanor. However, his complexion was somewhat pale, a faintly greenish white color that was very light and subtle, almost imperceptible to the average person. A hint of coldness seeped out from him, shrouded in mystery.
"Hmm, there's a living aura, but no vital energy, clearly not a pure vampire tribe. That Nalan Mei's cultivation is still low and can't be seen, but this guy in front of me is quite obvious... Hehe... This so-called vampire is actually a rather interesting species......... With Li Yan's eyesight, he saw through Edward Cullen's hidden magic at a glance. The thick yin energy on the opponent's body was as clear as a lantern in the dark night, and it was so eye-catching."
"What a strange and bizarre thing! A Western vampire, actually running to the East in search of his lost sacred object! This is indeed a strange occurrence that happens year after year, and this year it's especially numerous." Recalling what Nalan Mei had said, Li Yan couldn't help but let out a sigh of emotion. Although the other party was a Western vampire, he didn't have any intention of attacking him, on the contrary, his heart couldn't help but feel a few sparks of curiosity.
According to his understanding, on this planet, the Western vampire's lineage has been passed down for a very long time. As for whether its origins are the same as what is said in the Bible, many people do not know, let alone Li Yan, an outsider? However, Li Da San Xian knew that within the vampires' internal circles, regardless of whether it was the Secret Party or the Demon Party, there existed a common, unbreakable rule among all vampire families:
All vampire members are absolutely not allowed to set foot in Eastern China, those who violate this rule will bear the consequences themselves.
Every vampire from birth is informed of this taboo, which has lasted for thousands of years, no matter how the international situation changes, even during World War I and II, there are hardly any exceptions. Any vampire who dares to set foot on Eastern land can be counted on one's fingers, and none of those with evil deeds have a good ending, including sixty years ago, a Vampire Emperor who claimed to have reached the realm of immortality was still killed by Zombie Daoist Mao Xiaofang.
"Thank you, sir, for your magnanimity! Your broad-mindedness is simply comparable to that of our imperial ancestors!" Edward Van Tassel continued to flatter and fawn over Li Yan, completely unaware that Li Da San Xian had already taken a great interest in him.
"Stop playing dumb with me, tell me, you guys came to Huaxia looking for the so-called vampire clan's sacred object, what exactly is it?" Li Yan chuckled, his eyes narrowing into a slit. This vampire was quite interesting, at least he hadn't made him want to kill him on the spot.
According to the vampire clan's hierarchy, below the Founder, Emperor and Prince are the ranks of Duke, Marquis, Earl, Viscount, Baron and Knight. Vampires are naturally afraid of sunlight, and those who can appear in broad daylight without being harmed by the sun must be at least a Viscount. The Nalan Mie who came to the hospital last time was a Viscount-level vampire, while the Edward Van der Walt in front of him possesses the power of an Earl.
Nowadays, the Eastern cultivation system has declined, and the West is no exception. As a top Western power, the Blood Clan still has an extremely large racial system, but unfortunately, there are very few high-level blood clans evolving and emerging. In the West, even earl-level blood clans are already considered to be among the highest masters.
The vampire clan doesn't know what they're thinking, sending such an important member to the Eastern Continent, which is extremely dangerous for them. The plot twist here is really making me curious.
"After a slight hesitation, Edward Van der responded honestly: 'Your Excellency, what our clan lost in the Eastern Continent is a sacred object called the 'Holy Grail'. This sacred object is related to the inheritance of our clan, so we spared no effort to enter the Eastern Huaxia and want to find it back.'"
"Holy Grail?" Li Yan heard this and couldn't help but furrow his brow: "Such an important thing, how could it be lost in the Eastern China, what kind of game are your bloodline playing?"
"Sir, you are unaware," Edward Van Helsing hastily wiped the sweat and explained in his clumsy and stiff Chinese: "The matter originated sixty years ago. A master of the blood clan, for personal revenge, stole the Blood Clan's Holy Grail that our Van Helsing family was guarding, and escaped to the Eastern land of China. Later, he unleashed the power of the Holy Grail, breaking through his limits and becoming the first Emperor of the blood clan in a thousand years. Unfortunately, he was unfortunately killed by a great... uh, Taoist from the East. As a result, the Holy Grail was lost on the Eastern continent. Our purpose for coming this time is to retrieve this Holy Grail."
Here is the translation:
At this point, Edward couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine. After all, that was an Emperor of the Blood Clan, surpassing the existence of a Prince, second only to the ancestor who had given birth to the vampire clan. And yet, such a powerful being had died silently in East Asia, leaving one wondering how this could be.
"So that's how it is......" Li Daxian didn't know about this matter, and yet there was such a thing in between. Comparing the powers of Nalan Mei and Edward Fan Zhong he had met before and after, the Blood Clan's Prince was at least equivalent to a Scattered Immortal who had passed through the Heavenly Tribulation once, while the Emperor should be comparable to a Scattered Immortal who had passed through the Heavenly Tribulation three times. However, such powerful existences fell in Huaxia, which shows that there are still some strong cultivators' traces to follow on this land.
However, for him, this matter only has advantages and no disadvantages. So, at the moment, he smiled and said: "Since that's the case, you can slowly search then. However, when doing things, it's best to be more careful, otherwise, if you die here, there won't even be anyone to collect your bodies." As soon as he finished speaking, people arrived.
"What?!" Edward Van Santo's sneakers heard the words, and he couldn't help but be shocked. Suddenly, he was astonished to find that the space around him had changed.
In an instant, the space in front of him was separated by a layer of quite profound spiritual power, forming a simple seal. Immediately afterwards, he only heard a clear and crisp shout near his ear: "Where did this demon come from, daring to roam freely among humans under broad daylight?"
