Chapter 775: Excitement.
Louis was shocked when he saw the expression on the Great Elder’s face was extremely grave. He shook his head and said, “I-I have never left the dark forest.”
“You’re not lying?” The Great Elder repeatedly confirmed.
Louis gaev a deep nod, “Great Elder, how can I lie? Besides, it’s not that I don’t know what it means if I leave the dark forest. Also, would I risk being killed and leaving the dark forest just to catch prey? Of course I won’t.”
“It is good that you didn’t leave, that’s good…”
The Great Elder breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it was not a powerhouse from the Sacred Land of the Light Family, then their vampire clain wouldn’t be targeted; and the powerhouse just happened to pass by. Although the Martial Kings they knew were only the Four Kings of the Light Family, this was the Secret Land after all. It was vast and boundless, with thousands of creatures. It was not impossible for a Martial Saint to be born from other places.
“Great Elder, Eldest Brother, what happened?” Louis looked at the two confused.
Lester said, “There is a powerhouse coming to our dark forest. It is estimated that it is a Martial Saint.”
Martial Saint?!
Louis gasped. Although his own strength was comparable to the human’s Martial Emperor, in the face of the strength, which was at the top of the pyramid, he still felt a great pressure.
He was also confused, “Why would a Martial Saint suddenly come here?”
“No one knows. You tell me what happened in the dark forest, and don’t miss any details.” Lester looked straight at him and demanded in a serious tone.
How could Louis not know that his Eldest Brother and the Great Elder were wondering whether this matter was related to him? Hence, he did not dare to hide anything. He immediately told the story of catching the members of the Silver Wing Mercenary Group. Of course, the matter where Gui fought against him for a human was just glossed over.
“What? Gui was locked in an iron claw by the group of humans?” The Great Elder’s face suddenly changed.
“Yes, Great Elder, if I arrived a little later, little sister would’ve been caught and auctioned off in Twilight City.” Louis nodded.
“Damn it, where are those people? Don’t let go of even one. After sucking their blood, make their meat into jerky!” The Great Elder spoke fiercely, his face wore a furious expression. It was obvious that he was very concerned about Gui’s wellbeing.
However, Lester’s focus was on a different matter. “Second Brother, did you just say that two ran away?”
Louis was stunned before giving a quick nod. “Yes, Gui said that one of them was her friend. That guy has a Duck as a pet, the duck is very fast and ran away with him. We searched for him overnight but found nothing. It really pissed me off. If I find him, I will peel his skin and lacerate his tendons.”
His blood boiled when Xiao Luo was mentioned.
“What about the other one?” Lester asked.
“The other is the deputy head of the mercenary group. I don’t know what the situation is. He somehow broke free from the rope and as we searched for the first guy. He took the chance to slip away, the f*cking slippery loach. By the time we realized it, he’s already gone. I was afraid that these fat pigs would run away like the other two so I took them back to the castle to lock them up as soon as possible.” Louis said truthfully.
Could it be that the arrival of the powerhouse in the dark forest is related to the two escaped humans?
The Great Elder thinks so.
Louis seemed to know what they were thinking. He waved his hand and vowed, “Great Elder, Eldest Brother, I can guarantee that the powerhouse you mentioned has nothing to do with the two fat pigs that escaped.”
“How can you be sure?” The Great Elder asked urgently.
Louis patted his chest and said, “One is a mercenary. If he knows a legendary Martial Saint, why would he be a mercenary and take risks in the dark forest? The other one is even more unlikely. He is just a small Martial Master, a mere Martial Master. How could he be related to such a powerhouse?”
“Although he has a talking duck as a pet, the duck is just ordinary. It is not a Demon Beast. It must have eaten something like a Pill that awakened its wisdom.”
Hearing these, the Great Elder also agreed with his point.
“Is the powerhouse really just passing through the dark forest?” Lester looked at the Great Elder.
The Great Elder looked at the distant sky. “Maybe, but what is certain is that he is not from the Light Family!”
“Yes, since we didn’t violate the agreement, they have no reason to come here. This powerhouse must be a hermit from other places.”
Then one for the Elder’s eyes was suddenly filled with excitement. “If we can have a chance to discuss the dao of cultivation with this powerhouse, our vampire clan will benefit a lot. Maybe we can speed up our cultivation and reach the level of competing with the Light Family!”
Huh?
When this Elder voiced his thoughts, everyone’s eyes flickered with excitement.
“Third Brother is right. As the Elders of the vampire clan, we have lived for hundreds of years, but our cultivation has always stagnated at the Martial Ancestor level. It is difficult to break through to Martial Senior level, let alone the legendary Martial Saint. Even looking at our vampire clan’s thousands of years of history, the highest cultivation is still only at Martial Ancestor. After reaching the Martial Ancestor level, it seems that no matter how much human blood we consume, we still cannot make any progress with our cultivation level.”
“Yes, we have encountered a bottleneck. If we can’t achieve Martial Saint, our vampire clan wouldn’t be able to break free from our shackles and we can only live in this dark forest forever.”
“If we can ask this powerhouse for advice like what Third Brother said, maybe the problem that has plagued us for hundreds of years can be solved.”
The more the Elders discussed, the more excited they were as if they could already see the day when their vampire clan rose from the ashes.
The Great Elder’s eyes were hot with determination, but at the same time he was deeply worried, “But we don’t know the temperament of this powerhouse. People at that level are aloof. If we go to ask for advice, I’m afraid…”
This fact undoubtedly poured a bucket of cold water in everyone’s mind.
“Great Elder, I think it is actually better not to contact this powerhouse.”
Lester frowned at this time. “The vampire clan and humans can be said to be enemies. This powerhouse obviously represents the human side. Not to mention asking him for advice on the dao of cultivation, I am afraid that once he knows that we are vampires, he will show hostility. We wouldn’t be able to fight back!”
