Since there was no Mei Bao in Bran Castle and Dracula knew nothing else, Leng Yue and Qian Chen left. This time, Dracula didn't say anything more.

"Qian, Leng, I hope we can meet again in the future." Dracula saw them off at the castle, his face showing a hint of reluctance.

Dracula is a vampire; time is the least valuable thing to him. But time is a luxury for humans. This parting may mean never seeing each other again.

Qianchen nodded, "We'll have another chance to meet."

Later, when Leng Yue and Qian Chen were flying on their swords, Leng Yue asked Qian Chen, "Why do you feel like we can see Dracula again?"

"Because of the Demon-Slaying Pearl!" Qian Chen thought that since they all knew about the Demon-Slaying Pearl, they might meet again in the future because of it.

"Oh, that's possible." Leng Yue smiled. "But, is the Demon-Slaying Pearl really the pearl we're looking for?"

"Who knows?" Qianchen laughed. "You'll only know when you see it, won't you?"

"What's going on with Charlotte?" Leng Yue suddenly remembered Charlotte. "Isn't she a Blood Hunter? How did she suddenly become a member of the Dracula family?"

Qianchen frowned. "Should we go back and take a look?"

Leng Yue was also a little worried. Putting aside others, Lily and Andrew could be considered their friends, right?

"Let's go back then. We'll just sneak a peek and leave if nothing happens." After thinking it over, Leng Yue finally decided to go.

The two flew with the wind at an extremely fast speed. What used to take them ten days to half a month to complete, they could now reach their destination in no more than half an hour.

The flying sword hovered above the club, but from a distance, all that could be seen were countless men in black.

"Why do these people look so familiar?" Leng Yue looked at the black cloaks, feeling like she had seen them somewhere before.

"These are the clothes we wore when we sneaked into Bran Castle," Qianchen said helplessly. "Are you a goldfish? How could you forget so quickly?"

"So they're all vampires? How come vampires are in the Blood Hunters' lair?" Leng Yue didn't hear Qian Chen's complaints; her mind was completely absorbed by the vampires below.

"Let's go take a look. It seems the vampires here aren't very powerful," Qian Chen said, pulling Leng Yue as they descended. After a while, he'd learn to control the flying sword.

After landing in the forest and becoming invisible, the two slowly approached the club.

The club is no longer the small, dilapidated wooden hut it used to be. Now it's a wooden building with a pointed roof, and the name on it has changed to Vampire Club.

The two exchanged a glance, constantly dodging the vampires pacing back and forth, and floated into the club like two ghosts.

The inside and outside of the club are like two different worlds. The outside is very nicely decorated, but the inside is even worse than before.

Although the club was dilapidated before, it was still the residence of the Blood Hunters, so it still had the basic necessities for humans. It could be considered to have all the essentials.

But now, it's a mess, like it's been robbed. Not only that, it's dilapidated, barely better than a pigsty!

The outside was heavily guarded by vampires, but there wasn't a single vampire inside. What on earth were these vampires up to?

Leng Yue and Qian Chen exchanged a glance, then each searched one side to see if there were any survivors inside. They searched from both ends of the corridor towards the middle, and eventually found many corpses in the storage room in the very center.

All of these corpses had two holes in their necks; they had bled to death after being drained of their blood by these vampires.

The corpses were all grotesque, clearly indicating they had died unwillingly. Leng Yue couldn't help but turn her head away. After all, these were living people she had seen before, and seeing them so tragically before her was still painful, even for someone as experienced as she had seen countless corpses!

Qianchen pointed outside the door, telling Lengyue to go out and keep watch. He himself stayed inside and searched the place. About ten minutes later, Qianchen left with Lengyue.

"How was it?" Leng Yue asked as soon as she returned to mid-air on her flying sword.

“I saw Sam, but not Andrew and Lily.” Qianchen knew what Lengyue was concerned about, so he didn’t keep her in suspense and told her everything he had seen. “Sam doesn’t look like he died from blood loss. He was probably injured by the enemy’s weapon while protecting Andrew and Lily.”

"There was no bloody hole in his neck, but there were several knife wounds on his chest, deep enough to expose the bone. This was clearly his fatal wound." When Qianchen found Sam's body, he carefully examined his wounds. After comparing the wounds with those of other corpses, Qianchen discovered that only Sam's chest had been cut by a knife; the others did not.

"Sam has knife wounds, but those superhumans have bloody holes. Isn't that a bit strange?" As Leng Yue thought about it, she realized something was wrong.

“There’s one more thing,” Qianchen looked into Lengyue’s eyes, “I discovered that Sam died later than those other superhumans. In this weather, when the other corpses are already stiff, Sam’s body is still warm.”

"You mean, he just died recently?" Leng Yue's eyes widened. "That means they just returned and were attacked. But where are Andrew and Lily? Why didn't these vampires drink Sam's blood?"

“If Andrew and Lily escaped, they shouldn’t have gone very far. Once we find them, we’ll know all this.” After saying this, Qianchen returned to the forest.

Escaping from this place isn't particularly difficult, as it's surrounded by dense forests. Once they can get into the forest, it will be hard for the enemy to find them for a while. However, it's not exactly easy either; it's freezing cold here, and even if people can hide in the forest, survival is still a problem.

They might freeze to death in the snow before the enemy even arrives.

"But it's so dark here now, where can we find them?" Leng Yue looked at the dense forest. The black cloak looked beautiful on the snow, but how could she find people in the dense forest?

"Let's take our time looking. Maybe we can find them before they freeze to death." Qianchen knew how difficult this task would be, but shouldn't we at least try?

As the saying goes, "Do your best and leave the rest to fate." You can't just sit there and wait for destiny to unfold before you've done anything, can you?

Leng Yue sighed, "That's the only way."

Because the forest was dense and the light was poor at night, they dared not split up to search for the person, and could only hold hands and move forward. Even so, they still moved very quickly.

The snow reflected the light, making it possible to vaguely see some things, but it wasn't as good as during the day. The two guessed that Andrew and Lily might be heading back to the Rhine Valley to look for them, so they continued searching in the direction leading to the Rhine Valley.

Qianchen told Lengyue that they should first search in the direction of the Rhine Valley for a while. If they couldn't find it, they should turn around and search in the direction of the Blood Hunter headquarters, as they were more likely to be heading in that direction.

Leng Yue agreed, after all, she and Qian Chen were in the Rhine Valley, and the Blood Hunter Headquarters had even more powerful Blood Hunters. Therefore, these two directions were most likely the ones they were heading.
