Chapter 377: Chapter 376: Returning to Europe
Ye Fan asked, "When is the poison gas barrier outside the Mo Sect Base at its weakest?"
"We still need to wait a month," Tiancan reported truthfully. "After the rainy season passes and the sunlight disperses part of the poison fog, we might be able to attack the Mo Sect Headquarters."
"Then we’ll wait another month," Ye Fan said. He could afford to wait. The plan he had initially made now had to be canceled, which meant the Mo Sect would get to live a little longer.
Tiancan hurried off to make the arrangements.
Ye Fan’s goal was simple: to deal with the great trouble of the Mo Sect before battling the Divine Dragon. Although he had killed two of their Sect Masters, it hadn’t shaken the Mo Sect’s foundation. The most terrifying figure in the Mo Sect was Ancestor Mo. As for the new Sect Leader, Mo Yichen, who claimed to have cultivated the Absolute Poison Gang, Ye Fan had never taken him seriously.
Since there was nothing urgent on the Mo Sect’s side, Ye Fan planned to go to Europe personally to check on the Dark Night Demon Queen and see how things were progressing. After all, he and the Vampire Clan were archenemies. He had already slain one of their princes, not to mention countless dukes and earls.
Of course, the heritage of the Vampire Clan was not to be underestimated. It was even more formidable than the Divine Dragon. Facing such a difficult power, Ye Fan dared not be the slightest bit arrogant.
Just as he was about to call Luo Yazhi to ask her to go to Europe with him, the call connected.
"Yazhi, where are you?" Ye Fan asked.
"Oh, so now you remember to call me?" Luo Yazhi said jealously. "Did your little lover kick you to the curb, making you finally think of us, your devoted wives?"
"Don’t misunderstand," Ye Fan replied quickly. "I’m planning a trip to Europe. Where are you? We can go together!"
However, Luo Yazhi said, "I’m already in Europe. I’m with my sister, and we’re discussing how to deal with the Vampire Clan!"
"So quickly!" Ye Fan was speechless.
He was just about to say he would be there soon when he heard two screams—it was Luo Yazhi and the Dark Night Demon Queen.
He shouted frantically into the phone, "Yazhi, are you alright?"
There was no answer. Just as he was about to hang up and leave, someone on the other end of the line spoke.
"King of Heaven!"
"Who the hell are you?" Ye Fan roared. "I’m warning you! If even a single hair on my women’s heads is harmed, I will make you suffer a fate worse than death!"
A voice came from the other side, "Don’t use that tone with me. If you want your women back unharmed, then you’ll do exactly as I say."
"What do you want?" Ye Fan demanded.
The other party said, "You’ve killed several of our Vampire Clan’s important figures. So, you will bring the Bengyu to Europe yourself and atone for your crimes."
"Otherwise, you can prepare to collect their bodies!"
CLICK!
The line went dead. Ye Fan was furious, realizing this matter was not going to be simple.
He considered sending others, like Nangong or Gongsun Chou, but they couldn’t leave their posts guarding against the Mo Sect. Besides, he dared not risk his women’s lives. The Vampire Clan was truly detestable. As things stood, he had no choice but to go himself.
It seemed the Vampire Clan had dispatched someone of significant power this time. The Dark Night Demon Queen was strong, with her power nearly at the Emperor Level, yet she hadn’t been able to put up any resistance at all. This opponent was truly a force to be reckoned with.
Thus, he set off for Europe.
Upon arriving in Europe, he didn’t contact his old friends or ask for their help. For one, he was short on time. For another, he was facing the Vampire Clan, one of the most powerful reigning forces in the world. Seeking his friends’ help would only endanger them, a risk Ye Fan was unwilling to take.
He arrived at the Dark Night Demon Queen’s base, only to find it already in ruins, though little more than ten hours had passed. The destruction of her base was a huge problem. The vampire who called him had left no contact information, and finding them on his own would be a monumental task.
Ye Fan left the ruined base and began searching for the whereabouts of the Vampire Clan. He inquired with several underground forces and learned that the Vampire Clan’s primary stronghold in the underground world was in the Ancient Forest.
It was an ancient and mystical forest, rumored to be inhabited by elves. Some said the Ancient Forest was incredibly terrifying, with a massive tomb lying deep beneath it. Even Europe’s bravest professional explorers dared not venture into that forest.
Ye Fan set out for the Ancient Forest. Standing before the vast, boundless woods, he was stunned by its sheer scale. Even from the outskirts, he could already smell the thick, overpowering stench of blood.
He stepped into the forest without hesitation.
As he moved deeper, he constantly felt as though he was being watched, yet he could never locate the source. Reaching the central area, Ye Fan took a brief rest. He had been walking for a while but had yet to find the Vampire Clan’s main camp.
He wondered, Could the Vampire Clan have already left this forest? They have other enemies besides the European Church Court, such as the werewolves.
In the West, aside from the conflicts between the Holy Court and the underground forces, the underground world saw constant friction between the two great powers of the Vampire Clan and the werewolves. Their conflicts had even erupted into several wars of extermination.
Legend had it that a thousand years ago, the werewolves were so powerful that even the mighty Vampire Clan was no match for them. The werewolves had nearly annihilated the vampires entirely. That is, until a supreme being appeared among the vampires—Cain. It was he who evolved the vampire body, allowing the ancient vampires to finally repel the werewolves, leaving only a few remnants who escaped into the darkest corners of the underground world. From then on, the vampires became the sole symbol of the eternal night.
Ye Fan thought, To deal with the Vampire Clan, perhaps I can contact the werewolf forces. I imagine they aren’t content with being suppressed by the vampires forever.
Just as he was lost in thought, a dark shadow suddenly flashed before his eyes.
"Who’s there?" Ye Fan shouted.
"King of Heaven," a voice sneered, seeming to float on the air. "I never thought you’d actually dare to come to the home of the Vampire Clan. This time, I’ll make sure you never leave!"
Ye Fan finally got a clear look at him. It was a man in a long robe with a bewitching, almost unearthly appearance. Most crucially, Ye Fan could feel an extremely sinister aura radiating from this man, an aura far stronger than that of the Evil Wing Prince he had encountered before.
"Who are you?" Ye Fan asked.
"Prince Bao Feng," the bewitching man said with a sinister smile, revealing two pairs of long fangs.
