Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

A few of them, who had some sway, thought to negotiate for their sect's safety.

"I will never get used to this," MingHao said with a sigh.

"What?" Xue Fang asked in confusion.

"Death, senseless killing. I don't see the point of all of this."

"You understand it, but you just cannot accept it."

"... You are right. But people fight for power and wealth. What use are all of them when, in the end, their loved ones end up dying?"

"That is true, MingHao. But sometimes the most important people to them are themselves. In that case, do you think they care what happens to others?

Unfortunately, this type of person is usually the one who reaches the peak of power."

Xue Fang then put her head over his shoulder. "What now? Are we going to wait here until your sister returns?"

"Yes, I am sure she will come here. I have some questions for her."

They had talked about going back to the sect with YanYu and the others, but when they saw the people behind Zold, they changed their minds.

"That is true, MingHao, but sometimes the most important people are themselves. In that case, do you think they care what happens to others?

Unfortunately, this type of people is usually those that reach the peak of power."

Xue Fang put her head over his shoulder, "What now? Are we gonna wait here until your sister returns?"

"Yes, I am sure she will come here. I have some questions for her."

Xue Fang let out a chuckle, "Asking about her in-law family."

MingHao didn't reply, then looked toward the people behind Zold.

They had planned to go with YanYu and the others back to the sect, but when he saw them, he changed his mind.

"Zold, I'm sorry," Luca said, giving her condolences.

"... It's alright, Madam," Zold replied without looking back. He didn't know what to say in this situation. It wasn't Luca's fault.

After a moment of silence, Luca asked, "Did Sylva say anything?"

"Yes, Madam, but it's quite a long story."

"Let's talk over there then," Luca said, bringing Zold to a more suitable place.

Zold then explained everything he had learned from Sylva, and they also checked the contents of the document together.

Luca's eyes glinted coldly as she kept reading through the document. 'I really need to talk with Solomon.'

First, there was the incident at the Suzaku guild, and now, reading Sylva's report, Luca felt more sure that the Association was rotten and incapable of maintaining order.

She knew they already had their hands full with the dungeon break, but from her view, that was not a justifiable reason to let all of this happen.

It was a huge mess that would eat up the Association from the inside.

Hearing all this, Emily frowned. As a hunter, she had seen the Association from the inside. The amount of missions she had was almost endless.

At that time, she often complained because she almost never had a break, but listening to all this, Emily realized it was nowhere near enough.

The Dark Guild trafficked humans and smuggled alien species for many of the world's elite. Most of them had relationships or even held positions in the world council.

This meant humanity was still split, and the Association was barely holding on to this crumbling organization.

"Don't think too much, Emily. That is just how the situation is. We just need to do something about it when we return."

"But Mom, hearing this just makes me feel like everything I've done before is pointless. I never heard any of this information, and even now, Dad's situation..."

Emily couldn't finish her words as she felt she might as well call him dead. She had heard about her father's condition, but with what had happened so far, Emily didn't dare to raise her hopes.

And now, without having any solution, new problems were already starting to pop up.

"Why is my sister so gloomy? You'll grow old faster that way."

"Hmph! What growing old? As a cultivator and awakener, I'll probably—" Emily's voice trailed off as she finally realized who was talking.

She turned her gaze, and her lips curled into a smile. Alex was walking toward them with a grin on his face.n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

He didn't feel cold and distant anymore. Emily rose from her seat and then hugged Alex tightly.

"Brother, you've recovered?"

"What recovery? I've always been alright," Alex said with a teasing tone, making Emily roll her eyes.

Luca also smiled, seeing Alex's animated expression. "Have you given your condolences to Uncle Sylva?"

"No, I will later, Mom. I just came back here and heard what you guys were talking about."

"What do you think then?"

"You should have heard my plan before, but honestly, things are more complicated now. Let's just evacuate those important to us before we make another move."

"To this world?" Luca asked.

She agreed with Alex's thought; if it were possible to evacuate them to a safe place, that would be preferred. But there was no such place.

The Blue Jewel Planet was a bit better, but it was riddled with hidden dangers. There was also the rift that could break out with a wave of monsters at any time.

"No, Mom, don't worry. I have a place in mind."

Alex then turned solemn. He hesitated for a moment but continued, "Just don't worry about it, and let me take care of the rest. You should focus on finding where Father is."

Stay connected with empire

"Brother?" Emily asked in confusion. She didn't understand what he meant. Did Alex want their mother to go to the rift alone?

"Don't look at me like that. I just mean for Mom and you to go first to the frontline and learn more about the location. With both of your strengths, I'm sure you'll be safe."

Of course, Alex didn't plan to send them alone. He would send QingWa, Pi, and, if possible, a few sovereigns to stay with them.
