Chapter 940: Chapter 940: Still Encountered It

The night was deep and silent. Gu Fan and Mo Yun hid inside the house, not daring to emerge, fearing they might encounter the same group of people from the daytime, yet they did not know that someone had already taken care of all their troubles for them.

Outside the city lay a desolate waste, strewn with many bodies, some wailing, some desperately crawling.

Lord Xiong, Xue Wang, and other vampires stood proudly, watching these dying struggles. The feeling of holding the power of life and death was truly exquisite.

Some vampires grabbed a person by the hair, lifted them up, and tore into their neck with their teeth, indulging in blood-sucking to their hearts’ content.

Seeing this, Xue Wang furrowed his brow, "Lord Xiong, this is what you asked us to do. If our whereabouts are exposed, you can’t blame us."

Lord Xiong nodded, "Don’t worry. If anything goes wrong, I’ll take the responsibility. It won’t fall on your heads."

Xue Wang was somewhat puzzled, "Lord Xiong, if you wanted to know the identity of that boy, why didn’t we just go and investigate? Why make it so complicated?"

"Some things are just too boring if made too simple," Lord Xiong said as he stepped on a skinny man, then asked, "If you don’t want to die, answer my questions honestly. Why are you tracking that boy?"

The skinny man immediately answered, "Because the boy has a lost secret script of Martial Arts, something we have always wanted, and the woman with him is named Mo Yun, the last person of the Devil Cult. Through her, we can find out where the Devil Cult’s treasure is located."

Hearing the words "Devil Cult," Xue Wang was surprised, "The Devil Cult, could it be the one that cooperated with the Blood Wolves?"

Lord Xiong nodded again, "As far as I know, there’s only one Devil Cult in the entire Martial Arts world. It seems so. Perhaps we can find out from this Mo Yun what has happened recently and why the Blood Wolves haven’t shown up yet."

"Good, I’ll send people to deal with that man and woman right away," Xue Wang said, somewhat impatient, but Lord Xiong stopped him, asking the skinny man another question, "Tell me, what is the boy’s name, and does he have any status?"

This is how the skinny man answered, "I don’t know his name or his status, but it seems he is under Mo Yun’s thumb, and his Martial Arts skills are quite mediocre. He must be an insignificant character in the Martial Arts world."

Hearing this, Lord Xiong showed disdain, "A minor character can make you run circles around yourselves, and a minor character dares to track our movements?"

Xue Wang agreed with Lord Xiong, this was definitely not something a minor character could or would dare to do.

One of the vampires thought this, "Maybe the situation is such that the Devil Cult and the Blood Wolves have faced some trouble after their cooperation, but the Blood Wolves can’t come to us directly for help, so the Devil Cult sent someone to find us."

This conjecture was possible, but Lord Xiong was still worried. He had seen many people, but when he saw Gu Fan, the boy had an unusual composure, seeming to have weathered many storms.

Xue Wang put it this way, "The Blood Wolves have yet to arrive, but a person from the Devil Cult—who cooperated with the Blood Wolves—has come. I think it necessary to make contact. It probably isn’t dangerous."

Lord Xiong gave it some thought, and reasoned that if Gu Fan and Mo Yun really had reinforcements, they wouldn’t be chased down like this.

At this moment, the skinny man pleaded softly, "I have answered your questions, so can you fulfill your promise and let me go?"

"Rest assured, I always keep my promises. If you want to leave, I will not stop you," Lord Xiong said, his lips curling into a malevolent smile, "But, I cannot guarantee that they will listen to me, so..."

"What, you bastard..." Realizing he had been tricked, the skinny man was both furious and desperate, cursing out loud, "All of you vampires from the West will not die a good death. This is not a place for you to invade."

"I’m sorry, it wasn’t me who wanted to invade your homeland. It was your people who invited us here." Having said that, Xue Wang twisted the skinny man’s head right off.

"Alright, since that kid has no identity or background, there’s nothing to investigate; let’s just take action," Xue Wang said while loosening up his limbs. The other members of the Xue Clan were eager to try, especially at the thought of biting into Mo Yun’s beautiful neck, which excited them immensely.

By now, Lord Xiong had no reason to interfere, only saying, "First, take care of the situation here and leave no trace. Also, that man and woman are already in the city. We must be careful when we move and remember not to cause unnecessary commotion."

"Yes, no problem. We will resolve the fight quickly," Xue Wang declared. He left half the people to clean up the scene and the other half followed him and Lord Xiong back to the small city.

At this very moment, Gu Fan was breathing in and focusing his energy, feeling the Qi in his body flow more smoothly.

Watching Gu Fan’s rapid progress, Mo Yun felt amazed, thinking he was a Martial Arts prodigy, destined for greatness.

Gu Fan also felt he had a knack for Martial Arts and silently thought that if he could improve so quickly, Su Hui could do the same. Therefore, he decided that once he returned to his own time, he would teach Su Hui Martial Arts well, to strengthen her and thus his own side. Naturally, before passing on his knowledge, Gu Fan planned to tease Su Hui a bit to balance his feelings.

Suddenly, Gu Fan remembered something: they had caused quite a commotion during the day. The city wasn’t large, and they had run around several times; it was impossible that no one had noticed them. Thus, as soon as they checked into the inn, the innkeeper and waiter were likely to recognize Gu Fan and Mo Yun as the ones who had been pursued by many earlier that day.

If that was the case, why would the innkeeper and waiter dare to take Gu Fan and Mo Yun in? Could it be...

Gu Fan had a bad feeling. He immediately grabbed Mo Yun’s hand and hurried to leave. If they were too late, and the waiter alerted the pursuing group upon their return to the city, they would be surrounded and unable to escape.

The two rushed downstairs, and before the astonished eyes of the waiter, they kicked open the inn’s main door and bolted onto the main street outside.

Gu Fan’s guess was right; a group of people had been waiting outside for some time. However, they were not the group that had pursued them relentlessly half a day before, but rather the cloaked figures Gu Fan had seen the previous evening.

"These people..." Gu Fan was tense, his palms sweaty.

Similarly, Lord Xiong and Xue Wang did not expect Gu Fan to detect the approaching enemy so soon and even gear up to flee. They once again realized that Gu Fan was extraordinary, to have noticed this.
