Although Zhong Yi was somewhat famous in the alliance, he was old and had to go to school, so he only had nodding acquaintances with most of the Blood Hunters.
After Emperor Xiu arrived, he had very few interactions with the Blood Hunters, and had spoken to fewer than one person. After being forced into this role, he knew his position was to be the pillar of stability, so although he received the ring representing power, the actual work was still being done by the original person.
Anyway, once the vampires are wiped out, the Blood Hunter Alliance will fall apart, so there's no point in seizing power now. I guess the former leader thought the same thing.
Time passed slowly in an eerie calm.
On the vampire side, with two princes suffering setbacks in succession, they became much more subdued for a while. Consequently, the vampire hunters here basically stopped going on missions and entered into pre-battle training.
Di Xiu spends his free time drawing talismans and researching new products. Although the talismans in this world and the talismans in the previous world are both called "talismans," their uses and effects are clearly different. Di Xiu currently only knows a few from the books left by the Zhong family, and he is obviously not satisfied with them.
After the office was blown up for the fourth time, the former leader, on behalf of the members and the renovation workers, expressed his protest bluntly. Di Xiu had no choice but to abandon his research and become an emotionless talisman-drawing tool.
The person who drew the talisman has improved their cultivation by a major level, which is reflected in their spiritual power increasing tenfold. As for the damage in the talisman, it is not as exaggerated as tenfold, but it is still seven or eight times.
If he were to use the talisman he has just drawn, even with her defenses fully activated, Catherine would still be severely injured.
As winter was drawing to a close, the third prince awoke. Shortly after the news arrived, an event occurred that instantly heightened tensions within the alliance.
—One of the ten strongest Blood Hunters in the Alliance was drained of his life force and died during a mission. All signs point to the vampires, and it is highly likely that the prince was behind it.
There were too many shady dealings involved. On the day of the funeral, apart from those still somewhat naive young blood hunters, the others merely squeezed out a couple of tears, then turned away with cold indifference, quietly exchanging pleasantries with those they trusted, occasionally stealing glances at the overly composed and calm current leader.
Emperor Xiu had only come as a leader to make a token appearance. As he was about to leave, Jack and the other young blood hunters suddenly ran over and stopped him, crying their hearts out.
"Chief, Angus cannot have died in vain. We must avenge him. When will we be able to wipe out those rampant vampires?"
"The vampires have gone too far. We cannot swallow this insult. They are clearly slapping our alliance in the face. This is an absolute provocation and a declaration of war."
The former leader looked at Di Xiu, who exhaled puffs of white mist with each breath, blurring the hard contours of his face and making him appear slightly gentler, as if his icy eyes had softened.
He slightly raised his right hand, and the white opal on the ring reflected a dazzling brilliance in the sunlight. The noisy crying gradually subsided, and pairs of red eyes looked at him, their eyes full of trust.
Di Xiu looked over calmly and said, "The Alliance will not let him die in vain."
People with different mindsets interpreted it differently, and they weren't sure if it meant exactly what they thought it meant.
But the league's stabilizing force still worked, and these angry young people turned their grief and indignation into motivation, training even harder.
Blood hunters are usually armed with guns. Human bodies are far too fragile compared to vampires, and Emperor Xiu is the only one alive who dares to engage in close combat.
Emperor Xiu recalled the marksmanship of the Blood Hunters he had witnessed before, and on a whim, he held an internal test. He improved the shooting range, posted the rules on the wall that could be seen as soon as you entered, and then let the Blood Hunters go in one by one.
He calculated the scores through the surveillance camera and eventually distributed the remaining forty-five silver bullets in his hand to the five people with the best scores.
These bullets are slightly better than regular silver bullets; they don't need to be aimed at the head or heart, and they kill instantly upon entry. However, they are only effective against characters below the fifth generation.
It was laborious to carve, and the power was not as good as talismans, so he stopped carving after finishing this batch.
When spring arrived, another Blood Hunter died. Based on strength, he should also be ranked in the top thirty. Like Angus, he had a good reputation in the alliance, which reignited the suppressed emotions of everyone.
Emperor Xiu's pre-battle preparations were complete. Blood Hunters scattered across various regions gathered, picked a sunny morning, and, armed themselves, attacked the nearest Albert family territory.
This time, the entry into the barrier was quite grand, and all the vampires in the territory were forcibly awakened from their slumber.
Four vampires blocked the road, their faces grim. It was unclear whether they were disturbed from their sleep and forced to stay up all day, or whether they were angered by the menacing appearance of these humans.
One of them, with drooping eyelids and baring fangs, roared, "Blood Hunters, are you trying to break the treaty?"
Emperor Xiu raised his hand, and everyone thought he was giving some instructions when they saw his sudden movement. Even the former leader, who was about to reply, subconsciously looked over, only to hear the four vampires opposite him suddenly scream.
The crowd only had time to see four blazing flames before the fire died down, leaving only four handfuls of ashes where the vampires had stood.
"hiss--!"
The Zhong family's secret techniques are terrifying! How terrifying must the legendary Eastern Continent be?
Some people's hearts were already pounding for reasons that cannot be explained. When they saw this scene, they were so frightened that they felt as if they were strapped to a drop tower. Their hands trembled involuntarily, and regret and fear spread in their eyes.
Upon entering the forest, all the vampires in this territory were already waiting in Locke's castle, and the sacred relic had been taken out, but as is customary before the battle, they had to shout a few words.
In front of the castle, the eldest member of the family shouted, "Zhong Yi, are you trying to break the treaty?"
The former leader glanced at the current leader, and seeing that he showed no sign of speaking, he took the initiative to speak for him, seemingly adapting well to the position of second-in-command.
