The young prince continued, "Although there are three main schools of ninjas in Japan, as well as some smaller sects, ninja families, and wandering ninjas, Japanese ninjas can still achieve enlightenment through training and cultivation, unlike us vampires who can only rely on our pitiful reproductive capacity to increase our manpower. However, Japan is a small country with limited resources, so it cannot produce many ninjas. The total number of ninjas in all of Japan is only three to five thousand. Facing an ancient race like us vampires, who are spread across almost half of Europe, their chances of winning a full-scale war are very low. Therefore, unless their bottom line is crossed, they will not fight to the death."
“But we still have two formidable enemies: the Papacy and the werewolves. In addition, the Rothschild family has not submitted to their master, which will also cause us trouble,” the Duke said.
“Your worries are unnecessary.” Upon hearing this, the prince shook his head and said, “The Papacy cannot escape the fate of being destroyed by the Master; it’s only a matter of time. If they try to disrupt the Master’s plans, the Master will definitely deal with them. As for the werewolves, we are working for the Master. The werewolf king, who has also submitted to the Master, doesn’t have the guts to cause us trouble. Otherwise, if things go wrong, the Master will blame him, and he will also be held responsible. The Rothschild family’s biggest mistake was not choosing to submit to the Master. They won’t last much longer. If they dare to interfere in our affairs, it will only hasten their demise. I actually hope they come and interfere.”
“Indeed.” Duke Will nodded. “No one can disobey their master, and no one can rebel against their master. No matter who it is, even a god, as long as they have not transcended and left this world, disobeying and rebelling against their master will only have one result: death.”
“Therefore, none of us can have bad intentions. Such intentions will not only kill ourselves, but may even implicate all the vampire families.” The young prince nodded in agreement, looked down at the battle below, and said, “We can’t go any deeper into this topic. Those are not things for us to discuss. Marquis Andrew has started to fight desperately, even sending his underage juniors up. The battle will end sooner than expected.”
The Duke nodded and said, "After this battle, as long as these three marquis families seize the opportunity, their strength will be at least twice as strong as before in future infiltration missions. I hope they will not waste this opportunity that we have worked so hard to obtain."
The young prince said, "They are all very shrewd."

A week passed quickly after the incident involving the foreign zombies.
As evening fell and the setting sun shone in the west, the Four-Eyed Taoist and the Monk Ikkyu arrived at the mortuary together.
Upon seeing Uncle Nine, Four-Eyed Taoist immediately asked, "Senior Brother, what's the matter that you've summoned us in such a hurry?"
"A lot has happened recently, it's not safe to talk outside, let's go inside." Uncle Nine raised his hand to interrupt Four-Eyes Taoist, and looked around. He then led Four-Eyes Taoist and Monk Yixiu into the mortuary.
"Senior brother, why are there nuns here?" Upon entering the mortuary, Si Mu saw the nuns busy in the courtyard and asked curiously.
"It's a long story," Uncle Nine sighed, went inside, and first set up a spell around the room.
"Senior brother, is someone watching you?" Seeing Uncle Nine's spell complete, Four-Eyes frowned and asked. "Do you know who it is?"
“That’s right, it’s the local earth god, and he’s been watching me for a long time.” After thinking for a moment, Uncle Nine added, “After Wang Han left.”
"After Wang Han left." Simu and Monk Yixiu exchanged a glance and frowned. The matter involving Wang Han was definitely not simple, but they didn't expect that even the Earth God would be involved. They just didn't know which side the Earth God was on.
"Senior brother, what happened that you summoned us in such a hurry?" asked the Four-Eyed Taoist.
"Here's what happened. Not long ago, a foreign zombie appeared here..." Uncle Nine recounted the story of the foreign zombie, the church incident, and the female ghost, concluding, "I suspect that the nearby town has been infiltrated by a dark family called the Los family. Not only the sheriff of the neighboring town, but also some clues I found while searching for the female ghost's body. It seems that the local thugs have been subdued by the Los family, and this Los family is probably just a tiny, insignificant part of a vast dark force. Moreover, I suspect that Wang Han is also connected to this terrifying force in the shadows, or even that he is part of it."
"Wang Han might be among them?" Upon hearing this, the two men frowned even more. Wang Han was a powerful figure, equivalent to a patriarch.
"The little zombie hasn't been discovered, has it?" asked the Four-Eyed Taoist.
“It’s probably been discovered.” Uncle Nine’s face was grave. “Not long ago, when I was out hunting demons, someone came into contact with the little zombie alone. It was a person wearing armor, and it seemed that they intended to take the little zombie away. But for some reason, they didn’t use force. The father and daughter who claimed to be from the Los family also intended to take the little zombie away, but at that time their attention was on the foreign zombie, so they gave up.”
“Senior brother, you may no longer be able to stay here,” said the Four-Eyed Taoist. “Why don’t you move to my place?”
"I'm afraid that won't work," the monk Ikkyu said, shaking his head. "It seems we're being monitored as well."
"What?" Si Mu frowned upon hearing this and said, "How come I didn't notice it?"
“That’s because you’re carefree,” Monk Yixiu retorted to Taoist Simu, “I only discovered this on the way here. Jiale and Qingqing said they often saw animals near their home. When I arrived, I found that I could see animals, insects and snakes in the mountains all the way here.”
"Isn't this normal? There are plenty of animals, insects, and snakes in the mountains," said the Four-Eyed Taoist.
“That’s true, so I didn’t pay much attention at first,” said Monk Ikkyu. “But have you noticed that no matter where we go, even when we go to the toilet, there are animals, snakes, and insects nearby? And along the way, I’ve seen some animals more than once. I’m afraid they are mountain spirits watching us.”
Upon hearing this, Si Mu asked in confusion, "Not only are they monitoring our senior brother, but they're also monitoring the two of us. Who exactly is sending them to monitor us?"
"I don't know yet," Uncle Nine said, shaking his head. "But it's probably related to Wang Han. We all know Wang Han; that's a common point."
"These are truly turbulent times; it seems we've been caught in a huge vortex," Four Eyes sighed.
"If this continues, I'll move out," Uncle Nine said. "I wonder if Junior Brother Qianhe is being monitored."
"Knock knock knock..."
"Senior brother, are you home?"
Just then, someone knocked on the gate of the mortuary, and the voice of Daoist Qianhe rang out from outside.
