Chapter 1447: Chapter 1447: Millennia-old Grudges

There was an emergency at the Tower of Darkness, and upon receiving the message, Xue Wang felt like he was going to explode with anger. He had only left for a short while and such a big incident had occurred; he really didn’t know what his subordinates were good for.

So Xue Wang hurried back to the Tower of Darkness and also informed Lord Xiong on the other side to rush back as well, with the two of them handling the situation together.

Upon learning of the emergency at the Tower of Darkness, Lord Xiong’s brow furrowed, and he wondered if it was a coincidence that this happened after he and Xue Wang had left, or if someone had been waiting for this opportunity to strike.

After some deliberation, Lord Xiong decided to go and take a look, entrusting a few vampire warriors with a few commands.

Just then, sounds of fighting and roaring came from within the forest, seemingly the vampire warriors who were paving the way encountered something.

However, the forest quickly returned to dead silence, with not a single sound to be heard, which was even more nerve-racking.

Lord Xiong had people call out several times, but got no response, and he and his people were immediately fraught with tension.

"Everyone, get ready!" Lord Xiong commanded, and the vampire warriors immediately tensed up, ready for battle, while calling back those who had spread out to search.

Lord Xiong had a premonition that the one coming was very strong, not just ordinarily strong, even making his heart beat uneasily.

A tall and majestic figure slowly emerged from the dark forest. His movements were slow, but each step was firm and powerful, with every step sending an inexplicable chill down the spines of those watching.

Finally, the big boss stood before everyone, displaying an arrogance, a chilliness, and a majesty that the vampire warriors had never seen before.

"Who are you?" a vampire warrior challenged the big boss, but the big boss turned a deaf ear, treating the vampire warrior as if he were air, his eyes only on Lord Xiong.

If Gu Fan were here, he’d see an expression of sheer astonishment on the big boss’s face, as if he too had not expected to encounter Lord Xiong here.

Then, the big boss smiled in resignation, "I heard from Gu Fan that in Organization X there is a Lord Xiong who, like me, possesses perfect eternal life. At that time, I wondered if that person might be you, my father."

Lord Xiong gave a bitter smile, "A thousand years have passed, we father and son have not seen each other for a thousand years."

"Yes, a thousand years have flown by in the blink of an eye, but in a thousand years my hatred for you has not diminished one bit." The big boss clenched his fists, his eyes conveying a chilling intent, "When I learned that you might still be alive, I was glad because it meant I could kill you once more."

Hearing this, Lord Xiong was first stunned, then raised his head with a heavy sigh, "After a thousand years, do you still need to hate me this much? Many things can vanish with time."

"But hatred cannot, because I have sworn that I will never, ever forgive you." The big boss’s every word seemed to be uttered through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with unabating hatred, ready to lash out and start a fight at any moment.

The vampire warriors, although treated like air, seemed to realize that the person with such a murderous look was not only related to Lord Xiong as father and son, but also seemed to have turned into sworn enemies.

The big boss’s mouth curled up, exuding a wicked air, "Do you know, Zhuo Hang also thought you were dead, and repeatedly expressed his desire to seek revenge against me. You have hated me for a thousand years, Zhuo Hang has hated me for a thousand years, the relationship between us three is suddenly very amusing to me."

Lord Xiong said lightly, "Zhuo Hang is your brother after all. He has done nothing wrong. Everything was arranged by me. You can hate me, but none of this has anything to do with Zhuo Hang."

"You’re still defending Zhuo Hang." The big boss put on a very surprised expression, "Oh right, after all, he’s your favorite son, whereas I, your eldest son, seem superfluous in your eyes."

To this, Lord Xiong shook his head, "It’s not like that. I am an elder of the Eternal Life Clan, I have the most authority within the Eternal Life Clan, and I am responsible for it. Since you are my son and the eldest, of course you must make sacrifices for the Eternal Life Clan."

Hearing this, the big boss showed a self-deprecating expression, "As the eldest son of Old Zhang of the Eternal Life Clan, existing solely for your power and for sacrifice. You’ve secured your position, but I have gotten nothing. Then there’s Zhuo Hang, as your son, he can enjoy the glory and status that your power brings. Is that fair?"

Lord Xiong retorted, "As the eldest son, if you don’t sacrifice, do you want your younger brother to do it? If I don’t let my sons undertake unbearable tasks, how can I convince others, how can I lead the Eternal Life Clan, and if my position isn’t secure, do you think your days will be easy?"

"That doesn’t mean you can put all the hardship on me alone." The big boss became enraged, his eyes nearly bursting.

The vampire warriors watched the emotions between father and son erupt, with the situation worsening. Knowing better, the vampire warriors prudently steered clear to avoid getting caught in the crossfire.

The big boss snorted coldly and took a swift step forward, with a wooden spike piercing through the heart of a vampire warrior.

"Did you think you could leave alive?" The big boss callously tossed the vampire warrior’s body aside like trash.

Lord Xiong’s face darkened, "Did you all hear what he said? If you want to live, then let’s go together."

Hearing this, the faces of the vampire warriors darkened, thinking to themselves that this was clearly a grudge between father and son, so why drag them into it?

Given the situation, the vampire warriors had no choice but to steel themselves and charge at the big boss.

The big boss didn’t take these vampire warriors seriously at all. Although they were stronger than ordinary vampires, the group of them combined was still no match for him.

The big boss also charged out, wielding a wooden spike, trading blows with superhuman strength, punches and kicks flying.

The vampire warriors were either knocked back or stabbed through the heart with the wooden spike, completely overpowered by the big boss. Eventually, seeing that the situation was dire, a few vampire warriors decided to run for it.

"Lord Xiong, why won’t you join the fight?" a vampire warrior shouted in desperation, truly frightened.

However, Lord Xiong was utterly indifferent, not even sparing a glance, showing no intention of helping, which significantly disheartened the vampire warriors.

The big boss let not one vampire warrior escape, swiftly chasing after them and driving a wooden spike through their hearts from behind, instantly killing them.

Soon, all the vampire warriors were taken care of by the big boss, and from start to finish, Lord Xiong showed no intention of intervening, as if the lives and deaths of his subordinates were of no concern to him.

Alright, all your subordinates are done for, nobody can help you now, it’s just us, father and son, time to settle the score," said the big boss, tossing the wooden spike aside, his murderous look unabated.

"As you wish," Lord Xiong began to limber up, preparing himself for combat.
