Chapter 912: Chapter 912: Battle Between Good and Evil

Just as Lin Xi was about to ask more questions, the Martial Arts Competition suddenly erupted with agonized wails and urgent shouts, "Ambush, ambush, the Devil Cult is here!"

Lin Xi was extremely anxious, with sweat in the palms of her hands. She grew more and more worried about Jian Shen. She wanted to go, but if the mysterious masked person didn’t let her pass, Lin Xi definitely couldn’t get through.

The sound of fierce fighting grew louder, indicating that both sides had engaged in battle. Which side had the advantage?

"Alright, you can go now. Be careful." The mysterious masked person actually let her pass, which surprised Lin Xi. She didn’t understand what the other party was up to.

Seeing Lin Xi’s suspicious and hesitant manner, the mysterious masked person said another sentence, "What is it? Worried I’ll play some trick on you? If you don’t leave now, I might change my mind."

Upon hearing this, Lin Xi immediately quickened her pace and rushed over. However, she still couldn’t help but look back at the mysterious masked person, feeling that he was becoming more and more inscrutable.

The closer she got to the Martial Arts Competition, the more hair-raising the sounds of fighting and wailing became. Lin Xi’s heart thumped wildly, and she braced herself to witness a gruesome scene.

In one breath, she reached the endpoint and saw corpses everywhere, broken weapons, and people gasping in pools of blood.

Seeing some who were torn apart was simply too horrific to witness. Besides the vampires of the Devil Cult, who else could do such a thing?

Lin Xi quickly surveyed the scene and realized that most were from the various factions of the Martial Arts world, with only a small portion being from the Devil Cult. It was evident that the Devil Cult had gained the upper hand.

But Lin Xi thought again, that this wasn’t right. The elite of both the righteous and evil Martial Arts sects were gathered; why were there so many casualties? Why couldn’t they defeat their enemies?

There was only one reason, that a lot of vampires from the Devil Cult had arrived. A regular vampire could match a First-rate Expert. What if ten vampires came? Or a hundred vampires? How were the righteous and evil factions of the Martial Arts world supposed to respond?

The battlefield must have moved from the front plaza to the backyard. It looked like the various Martial Arts factions were retreating step by step, which meant the situation at Jian Shen’s end was extremely precarious.

Lin Xi looked up at the sky, determined to cast a spell to disperse the clouds. However, as soon as she started to chant the spell, two vampires arrived. They were covered in blood, their eyes filled with excited lust for Lin Xi’s flesh and blood.

"Such a beautiful woman. It would be such a waste to suck dry her fresh blood. Let’s capture her and slowly enjoy," said one of the vampires and after a low growl leaped towards Lin Xi.

"Back off, I don’t have time to play with you," Lin Xi snorted coldly and immediately erected a Protective Barrier around herself.

The Devil Cult’s vampires, unaware of its power, smashed headlong into the Protective Barrier and were sent reeling back several steps by the rebound force, stumbling with their heads bleeding and seeing stars.

However, the vampires had a unique constitution and quickly recovered from their injuries. Wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth, one said, "Didn’t expect you, this damn woman, to be quite powerful. But you’re out of luck, you’ve run into us."

"You’re mistaken if you say I’m the one out of luck," Lin Xi retorted, extending her hand. A branch from a nearby tree snapped off by an invisible force, flew towards her, and was automatically whittled to a sharp point, becoming a wooden stake.

"How is that possible!" The two vampires from the Devil Cult looked somewhat afraid and involuntarily took three steps back, only then realizing that encountering this woman was actually their misfortune.

"I don’t want to make things difficult for you, but if you can’t answer my questions satisfactorily in a moment, I won’t be polite with you either," Lin Xi said with a stern expression, letting the two vampires know there would be serious consequences if they didn’t answer well.

Feeling they couldn’t win, the two vampires from the Devil Cult gritted their teeth, turned to run, but as they turned their heads, they saw two wooden spikes floating in the air, aimed right at them.

"You can’t escape, better just answer my questions honestly," Lin Xi’s supernatural powers were unleashed once again, summoning more wooden spikes, pressuring the vampires.

The two vampires immediately nodded, indicating they would honestly answer any question Lin Xi asked.

Lin Xi’s first question was, "Tell me, who did your Devil Cult make contact with that led the Devil Incarnate to transform into a vampire?"

The Devil Cult vampire promptly replied, "A group of Westerners, claiming to be from the Blood Clan. They said they could make our Devil Cult stronger."

It was indeed those Western vampires. Lin Xi frowned and then asked another question, "This foreign clan from the West wouldn’t help the Devil Cult out of pure goodwill. What do they want to get from the Devil Cult?"

The Devil Cult vampire nodded, "Yes, they sought our help. They wanted the Devil Cult to gradually turn every member into a vampire, each a martial arts expert, and then serve them, taking control of the entire world. But the Devil Incarnate only agreed on the surface; in reality, he was just using these Western vampires."

"And now, what is the relationship between the Devil Cult and the Western Blood Clan?" Lin Xi really wanted to know this, as she worried that these Western vampires were still lurking in the shadows, their true strength unclear.

The Devil Cult vampire shook his head, "These Westerners seem to be searching for something here and have several times sought the Devil Cult’s assistance, but were always tactfully refused by the Devil Incarnate for various reasons."

Hearing this, Lin Xi breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed the Devil Incarnate wasn’t foolish after all; he knew that outsiders would always remain outsiders, unreliable, and hadn’t yet brought a wolf into the house.

The Devil Cult vampire added another piece of information, "Last time I overheard the Western Blood Clan arguing with the Devil Incarnate, something about searching for true immortality..."

A shock went through Lin Xi’s heart. True immortality, like that of the big boss? Could it be that the Western vampires came here in search of eternal life? But weren’t vampires already immortal?

Wait, true immortality - could it be that the vampires themselves found the kind of immortality that depends on constantly consuming human blood imperfect, and that’s why they came here searching for true immortality?

Another wait, how did these Western vampires come to know about true immortality in this land? Even the people of this land barely knew of it. That doesn’t make sense.

Had it not been for someone from the Eternal Life Clan finding Qian Ye, Qian Ye himself would never have known true immortality existed in this world.

If it’s the type of near-perfect immortality like that of the boss, Zhuo Hang, then the Western vampires’ kind of immortality, which needs to feed on human blood and flesh, would indeed be inferior. Naturally, the Western vampires would pursue a more perfect form of immortality.

While Lin Xi was lost in thought, the two vampires from the Devil Cult saw their chance and immediately fled. By the time Lin Xi reacted, they were already far away.
