Chapter 1444: Chapter 1444: Formidable Enemy Invades

While Gu Fan and the others were still fighting for survival in an underground laboratory, an unprecedented grave incident occurred outside the Tower of Darkness.

A squad of vampire warriors encountered the big boss, and the entire squad was wiped out.

A squad of vampire warriors ran into the hunters, and not a single one survived.

A squad of vampire warriors clashed with a mysterious masked figure, and the entire squad was annihilated.

In the Dark Primitive Mountain forest, three squads, three attacks, almost simultaneously—what did this imply? Xue Wang and Lord Xiong stood atop the Tower of Darkness, their expressions dark and terrifying.

Moreover, the vehicles transporting materials in and out of Dark City were also attacked, the objective clearly being to sever Dark City’s links with the outside world.

Some subordinates sought guidance from Xue Wang on what to do next, whether to send out more squads to search.

Xue Wang hesitated, fearing that sending more vampire warriors would also mean sending them to their deaths.

Lord Xiong suggested that they needed to concentrate their forces, prioritizing the security of the ’Path of Death’ and the transport of materials, and proposed deploying at least two thousand vampire warriors for this purpose.

Xue Wang still hesitated, as sending out two thousand vampire warriors would undoubtedly weaken Dark City’s defenses, but failing to do so would result in the city’s essential supplies being cut off, leading to even bigger problems.

Xue Wang greatly disliked this passive situation. Besides deploying two thousand vampire warriors to guard the ’Path of Death’ and ensure material transportation, he planned to personally lead a force comprising powerful members of the Xue Clan, along with thousands of vampire warriors to search for the enemy.

Lord Xiong immediately expressed his willingness to go too, as his interests and those of Organization X were intertwined.

Xue Wang was grateful, but he hoped Lord Xiong could summon that person, believing that with that person’s strength, they could definitely eliminate all enemies threatening Dark City.

Lord Xiong frowned, appearing to be in a difficult position, but still said he would do his best.

In a room in the Tower of Darkness, Zhuo Hang sat shirtless on the floor, gulping down alcohol, surrounded by many empty bottles.

Now, Zhuo Hang had none of the imposing aura expected of a powerful being; instead, his beard was unkempt, and he looked dispirited, with an expression of deep torment as if deeply disillusioned with the world.

When the door opened, and Lord Xiong entered, he saw Zhuo Hang drinking messily and his eyes showed a pained expression. "I know you can’t understand my actions, but please trust me, I wouldn’t have deceived you if there had been any other way."

Zhuo Hang chuckled, his attitude showing he hadn’t really listened, "All this time, I thought you were dead, so I kept hating him, always thinking about seeking revenge. This deep-seated hatred haunted me every day, as I remembered that brutal night when you and our whole clan were killed by him. I kept reminding myself of my purpose for fear that living too long would dull my hatred for him."

Zhuo Hang stared blankly at Lord Xiong, his questioning look almost as if he was greatly hurt and deceived: "Do you know? After gaining immortality, all my motivation was to find him, to defeat him. I even gave up the woman I loved. Now, you appear before me healthy and alive, essentially telling me that all my efforts were for nothing."

Lord Xiong, unable to face him, could only sigh. "I know you can’t understand my difficulties now, and I don’t expect your forgiveness, but you must believe that everything I have done was for you."

"I believe that, or else I wouldn’t have attained perfect immortality," Zhuo Hang said, still skeptical. "I want to know, if I hadn’t found this place, when would you have planned to meet me?"

Lord Xiong replied lightly, "After a thousand years, you have gained perfect immortality. You are now strong enough, no longer that young man, and can take care of yourself. You no longer need me."

Hearing this, Zhuo Hang stood up abruptly, smashed his wine bottle to pieces, and shouted at Lord Xiong, "Even if you had to leave me, you should have made it clear and said goodbye! It’s not that I can’t accept your departure; I can’t accept that the person I respected most deceived me for a thousand years."

Listening to Zhuo Hang’s accusatory shouts, Lord Xiong closed his eyes in deep pain.

After venting his resentment, Zhuo Hang finally calmed down a bit, though the bitterness in his eyes lingered, and he was not going to forgive Lord Xiong anytime soon.

Lord Xiong turned away, unable to face Zhuo Hang, and preparing to leave to avoid worsening the gloomy atmosphere. His departure was somber, and before leaving, he added, "I’m going out now to search for the enemy. I might encounter formidable foes, and I hope you can help me."

Zhuo Hang didn’t respond, instead picking up another bottle of wine and continued drinking, his indifference causing Lord Xiong deep anguish.

Moments later, five thousand vampire warriors were assembled, and even without Zhuo Hang’s support, the battle was set.

Following Xue Wang’s orders, two thousand vampire warriors guarded Dark City, another two thousand protected the ’Path of Death,’ and a thousand vampire warriors accompanied Xue Wang and Lord Xiong to search for the enemy.

The Xue Clan and ordinary vampires were also assigned tasks, as this was a crisis Organization X had never encountered before, so all available forces were mobilized.

In Xue Wang’s eyes and in the hearts of all in Organization X, they were superior and would not tolerate any offense, resolutely eliminating any incoming enemies.

Five thousand vampire warriors, along with the Xue Clan and ordinary vampires, and ordinary fighters, responded to the call from the Four Great Nobles—this was a massive force assembled by Organization X in a short time, and this force was believed to be capable of destroying everything.

Some even suggested calling back some members of the X Family and other individuals abroad who had the bloodline of the X Clan to join the battle.

This suggestion was rejected by Xue Wang, firstly because the current force was already massive and if such a force could not achieve victory, calling back people from abroad would be pointless. Secondly, Xue Wang always felt it necessary to keep some reserves, and those abroad were the hope of Organization X.

"Alright, let’s move out, annihilate the enemy, crush them," Xue Wang ordered, and all the vampire warriors surged forward, each one becoming excited and bellowing.

Lord Xiong watched the immense forces set off without saying a word, and asked a subordinate about any news on Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi in the small town, as their movements at this time were crucial.

According to the daily reports from the surveillance team, Gu Fan, Su Hui, and Lin Xi were still inactive, merely eating, drinking, playing cards, and basking in the sun.

"Is it really that simple?" Lord Xiong began to feel uneasy. He had experienced Gu Fan’s cunning more than once.
