Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Alex could understand it was necessary, but he felt it was quite forced. However, he didn't say anything further since it was MingYue's family. In the end, everything was her decision.

"It's not like any of them will complain. We have more than enough resources for them to cultivate for hundreds of years."

"That is true. As long as we don't hasten their cultivation with lifeforce, it should be alright. So, do you plan to hide this information from them?"

"Yes, for now, it's better like this. Lifeforce cultivation should be focused on Edonia, while the sect should look for another path. Didn't you say Clara is testing a new way to break through?"

"Even if it works, I doubt she'll find a better one than lifeforce."

"Yes, but both of us agree that the life force is not a good option to use against our enemies.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

Since they have defeated and enslaved vampires for a long time now, they should have many methods to counter this ability."

Alex nodded, then let out a sigh. "Well, enough of that. Let's go to Shangxi Temple for now. Afterward, we'll decide what to do."

"Yes."

In the middle of the bustling city, on the second floor of a restaurant terrace, a woman was looking toward a huge building in the distance.

"So close yet so far," the woman said with a sigh.

"Lady Feng Xue, we have been here for a while. The situation outside is also very bad now."

"I waited thousands of years; what's waiting a little more time? If you are not satisfied, you can leave first, Cuiyin."

Situ Cuiying frowned. They had been in this place, the center of ShangXi Temple, for a while now. Her father, the patriarch, had told her to follow Feng Xue around.

Seeing her hesitation, Feng Xue let out a chuckle. "Whatever is happening outside, BaiYue Sect is probably the one behind it. No need to worry."

"How are you so sure? I've never heard of that sect before. Are they an ancient family clan like yours?"

"Like mine? I wish. If that were true, I wouldn't be here now. They are something more than just that. Far stronger."

As someone who had stayed by MingYue's side for a long time, she knew how many secrets she hid. Feng Xue was also among the select few who knew of Vesa's existence.

Situ Cuiying looked at her in disbelief. She couldn't imagine how strong they were. Even now, after hearing about the core region and stronger sects from Feng Xue, she still finds it hard to believe.

In her eyes, ShangXi Temple was still the center of her world.

"I still don't get what you want to do, though. So far, you've just made some connections and acted like a merchant. If they are as strong as you say, why not use their army then?"

"You don't get it. Just wait. Soon, the fireworks will start," Feng Xue said with a smile. Continue your saga on empire

In the distance, Alex and MingYue were having a meal.

"My body… When will you return it?"

"Shut up, Ling Hua, or I will put you back in my storage ring," MingYue replied with a sigh.

"Why did you take her out anyway?"

"Because I am sure the promise is close to being fulfilled. She will return LingHua's body."

"You really don't lie, right?" LingHua asked, her voice tinged with worry.

"Tsk…" MingYue put the earring back into her storage ring.

"So talkative. Can't she see I am not someone who goes against my word? Not like some backstabber."

"You sure about that? She's the one who killed you. Honestly, I feel after the punishment, you should just kill her."

"It's been a long time, and I get her motive. Although I cannot trust her with my back, I will just let her be."

"Well, your choice. She knows a lot of things about us, but it shouldn't be a problem."

Vesa had already done something to her spirit, and LingHua was also not that talented. So, the possibility of her breaking out of it was almost zero.

"I don't get it, though. Why did FengXue decide to go to ShangXi Temple specifically? Many clans and families took over, and it's been so long. Everyone responsible should already be dead. If she just wants revenge, shouldn't she start with the weakest one?"

In Alex's opinion, it was like Pi's case. Right now, he was still in the Zephyr clan, fighting against their sect leader. Alex didn't know the result, but he was confident Pi wouldn't die.

"At this point, it's just venting old hatred. It's not revenge anymore."

"Yes, so should we visit your father's guildmate now?"

"Let's go," Alex said.

They then left the place and infiltrated the temple. The place functioned like a castle. From morning to noon, it opened to the public for people to report their problems and take care of administrative needs.

But at night, all access was closed down; no one could enter without a special permit. The security was tight, but for Alex and MingYue, it was pointless now.

Utilizing runes, Alex brought MingYue through the front door. Despite doing this, no one could see them.

Inside, the place was grand, but they had seen better. It was more on the luxurious side, made from expensive material, but still kept modest, not glittering with gold or other shiny objects.

"No one here feels that strong. Only a few are at the transcendent stage. Are you sure he's here?"

"He should be. Let's at least look for the abbot. Considering his personality, this place doesn't suit him at all."

Based on Alex's knowledge, Orion was someone who liked to be free and hated doing things he felt were pointless. Taking a role as the leader of a religion where most of the members were fanatical with many rituals wouldn't bode well for him.

"So, what do you suggest? Should we go to the strongest one?"

"Hmm... From the outside, ShangXi Temple is led by the abbot in an authoritative manner, as the council is just for show. But it seems it's more complicated."
