“This…”

Looking at the huge pillar of Holy Light that suddenly erupted into the sky and the violent tremors under his feet, Chu Yan could not help but reach out to support the wall in front of him.

His eyes were filled with shock.

The pillar of Holy Light that erupted lasted for a full three seconds before it began to weaken.

After the light gradually dissipated, Chu Yan looked into the distance once again. The entire villa area where the pillar of light was previously located had been completely destroyed by the explosion of the Holy Light just now!

The villa area had been reduced to ruins!

The central area of the pillars of light had been directly razed to the ground!

This kind of indiscriminate attack had practically enveloped all the forces of the Holy Court, annihilating them all!

There was also a large number of vampires who were fighting against the Holy Court who had also been annihilated by the explosion of the Holy Light.

It was really vicious.

Chu Yan felt that his right hand could not help but tremble.

He had seen with his own eyes that the masked man had barged into the villa area. Not long after, the entire sealing node had exploded.

That masked man…

Under such unfavorable circumstances, the array node had actually been completely destroyed by him!

The players were also shocked by the scene before their eyes, and they all discussed it in low voices.

Chu Yan looked at the ruins in the distance, trying his best to calm his uneasy mood. He turned his head around and asked, “Have you found out? The identity of that young man?”

“President, we haven’t found anything related to him yet.”

“Yes.”

It was an expected answer.

Chu Yan nodded and took the binoculars from his subordinate. He lowered his head and looked at the ruins below, trying to search for the whereabouts of the unknown mysterious man.

“Boss,” the subordinate swallowed his saliva and walked to Chu Yan’s side. He asked in a low voice, “Can he survive such a violent explosion?”

“Absolutely.”

Although they had only met a few times, Chu Yan could clearly feel that the masked man would not send himself to his death so easily.

…

The light released by the explosion of the sealing stone gradually dissipated.

Everything returned to calm.

Venerate emerged from the rubble covered by the stone.

The explosion destroyed more than half of the vampires’ team.

Venerate shook his swollen head.

The surroundings were reduced to a pile of rubble.

What happened?

The chaotic memories gradually returned.

Right, the pillar of light exploded.

Everyone else died in the explosion?

Where was the Marquis?!

Did he die in the explosion?

Seeing that the surrounding people were concentrating their strength to attack the few holy cast knights who survived the explosion, Venerate gradually realized something. he shouted, “Quick! Follow me to find the Marquis!”

After dealing with the remaining survivors of the Holy Court, the vampires immediately went to the central area of the ruins, trying to find Fang Heng.

“Ka!!”

In the central area of the explosion, a hand stretched out from the thick sand on the ground.

Fang Heng waited for a full five minutes offline. He felt that the crisis should have passed before he went online again. Then, he spent another minute getting himself out of the thick layer of sand.

If it were the ordinary players, they would have been trapped underground.

He did not expect this wave to be so big.

Looking at the large ruins around him, Fang Heng smiled bitterly.

A row of game hints appeared in his vision.

[Hint: Player has completed the side mission-destroy the structure points of the branch magic array.]

[Hint: Player has obtained mission contribution points: 5,000, obtained vampire reputation points: 8,000, obtained Elders Council reputation points: 800.]

[Hint: Current contribution points: 6,992, mission evaluation: A-.]

[Hint: Player’s control over the vampires in Victoria City has been slightly increased, and the morale of all vampires in Victoria City has been greatly increased.]

[Hint: The city’s alchemy magic array has been affected. Affected by the magic array’s effect, your skill-vampire bloodline has all additional attributes reduced by 63%.]

Fang Heng’s gaze quickly swept across the game hints.

After destroying the pillar of light, the weakening effect on vampires had been reduced from 70% to 63%.

It didn’t seem to be of much use…

What made Fang Heng even more displeased was that when the sealing stone exploded, a large number of holy cast knights died in the explosion. He had only received a small portion of contribution points, but not a single evolution crystal had dropped.

Moreover, he had not expected that there was actually such powerful holy energy hidden within the stone pillar that could blow up the surroundings into such a state.

If he could absorb all of them…

Fang Heng lightly clenched his fist.

After going back and forth for so long, this wave of losses could be considered very significant.

“Forget it, I’ll just treat it as gathering intelligence and making preparations for the future…”

Fang Heng muttered to comfort himself.

“Lord Marquis!!”

Seeing Fang Heng climb out of the ruins alive, Venerate’s heart which was hanging in the air finally relaxed. He was filled with excitement and immediately brought a group of people behind him to welcome him.

Fang Heng was now the backbone of the vampires in the entire Victoria City.

Only he could deal with the Holy Court in this state.

All the vampires looked at Fang Heng with admiration and respect. They all knelt around Fang Heng.

“Marquis.”

Fang Heng looked at the vampires around him.

Affected by the Holy Light, the vampires were injured.

Fang Heng lowered his head and thought about what to do next.

He had gathered enough information. He had to make a plan.

There was more than one pillar of light in the city. It would be a waste to destroy it just like that…

Venerate reported, “Sir, the number of vampires in the city is rapidly decreasing. It will be difficult for us to continue fighting the holy cast knights.”

“Gather all the vampires in the city and withdraw from the battle. Gather here.”

“Yes, Sir!”

Venerate immediately transformed into his bat form and hovered in the air. He blew a special whistle signal and issued the order to gather all the vampires in the city.

…

In the neighboring district, on the highway leading out of the city.

Meng Hao sat in the passenger seat and swiped his phone.

On his phone, the spies in the city were bargaining with him, trying to sell him the latest information about the city.

“This is my final offer. 20,000. It’s a flat price. If you don’t sell it, I’ll find someone else.”

Meng Hao cursed as he transferred 20,000.

“Brother Meng, I think there’s something strange about this.”

The new underling, Ah Ding, who was in charge of driving the car, was a little confused, he said, “The vampires in Victoria City didn’t send out a request for help, and the teleportation passage in the city hasn’t been opened. The Elders Council might not even know that there’s a problem there. Is there really a need for us to rush over?”

“Do you think I can’t tell?”

Meng Hao felt normal even after being cheated of a sum of money. He shook his head and asked, “If there’s something strange, we still need to go and check it out. The stranger it is, the more we have to see for ourselves. Don’t forget our identities.”

Ah Ding stared blankly. “What identity? Vampires?”

“Idiot, we are players! Players!” Meng Hao’s voice couldn’t help but grow louder. “If there’s a mission, can we not go?”
