Just then, Aixi and Huo’er, who were out, had both returned.
Seeing this scene, Alad slightly bowed to Xue An, "Honored guest, welcome to your arrival, I shall take my leave now!"
After speaking, he said to Win Ni, "Let’s go!"
Then he turned around and left.
Xue An watched his departing figure, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a faint, almost imperceptible smile.
"Sir, what do these two people do?" Huo’er asked suspiciously.
Xue An replied indifferently, "It’s nothing, just came to say hello!"
Huo’er was still puzzled, but seeing Xue An’s expression, he swallowed his questions and dared not ask further.
Win Ni, with her head lowered and her face full of shame, followed Alad back to the room.
"Chief, I’m sorry! But I was really worried that these people were from one of the three great clans, so I wanted to test them first!"
"Enough! Don’t speak of it anymore." Alad said indifferently.
Win Ni fell silent.
"You must not be so reckless in your actions in the future! Otherwise, it will lead to serious consequences, understand?"
"Yes!"
"You may leave now!"
"Hmm?" Win Ni thought she had heard wrong and looked up at Alad in confusion.
"What ’hmm?’ Go and rest!" Alad said with a smile.
"But Chief, are you really not angry with me?" Win Ni asked cautiously.
Alad couldn’t help but smile wryly, then straightened his face, "Do you really want me to be angry to be satisfied?"
"Ah, no no! Then I’ll leave first!" Seeing that Alad really wasn’t angry, Win Ni finally let go of her worries and happily turned around and left.
Alad watched her figure disappear behind the door, then leaned back in his chair, stared up at the ceiling, and spaced out.
He didn’t know how much time had passed when he finally chuckled softly and whispered to himself.
"I hope... it’s you!"
As the date of the Blood Sacrifice approached.
The security in Ino City became increasingly strict.
But this still couldn’t dampen the enthusiasm of Blood Clans from all quarters coming here.
After all, having the opportunity to witness the awakening of three legendary first-generation Blood Race members was extremely rare.
Thus, Ino City grew even more bustling.
Finally.
On this day.
An enormous Blood Clan procession, almost endless in sight, arrived at Ino City.
Their spread wings even covered the sky.
In the middle of the procession, they were escorting a carriage adorned with a bizarre and grotesque family crest.
"It’s the Gils Clan!"
"The Gils Clan has arrived, the Blood Sacrifice is about to begin!"
The numerous Blood Clans were all exceedingly excited.
Meanwhile, in the inn, Xue An, who was sitting cross-legged in his room, though his eyes were not open, a smile full of chilling murderous intent emerged on his lips.
That evening.
Inside Ino Castle.
A high-profile private dinner was underway.
Inor Condin, as the host, entertained the people of the Gils Clan who had come from afar.
Clementine of the Hilary Clan, as the eldest daughter, attended in full dress as a guest.
Inor Condin raised his glass first, nodding to the man known as "the Impaler" across the long table.
"Honorable Vladimir Gils, welcome to your arrival!"
Vladimir, dressed in a suit dyed with fresh blood, had a handsome face, but his eyes, which glimmered wickedly, were full of arrogance.
As the eldest son of the Gils Clan, his bloodline was exceedingly noble.
But his unique and cruel inclinations made him a distinctive figure even among the Blood Clan.
"Alright, alright, Lord Vladimir, I know you’re just joking with my cousin. Let’s discuss serious matters instead!"
His words caught both Inor Condin and Clementine off guard.
Together, they couldn’t match the contributions of the Gils Clan.
Is this the disparity in strength?
Vladimir, somewhat bored, stretched lazily and then stood up, "Alright, it’s bedtime, my daily routine is very precise! Anyway, that’s the situation, so the remaining tasks are up to your two families to handle!"
As he spoke, Vladimir yawned and walked away on his own.
Inor Condin’s eyes turned slightly cold.
Vladimir’s arrogance was truly uncomfortable for him.
But he was helpless.
As a powerful Blood Clan who had already awakened the second-generation bloodline, Vladimir indeed had the capital to be arrogant.
"Issue the order now, begin preparations, tomorrow the Blood Sacrifice will start!"
"Yes!"
At that command, the whole of Ino City sprang into action.
The Blood Sacrifice was finally about to begin.
The next day.
As dawn just began to break, the glow of the blood-red crescent moon in the sky hadn’t yet faded.
The whole city of Ino woke up.
Then the sky was filled with flying blood wings.
The atmosphere began to tense up.
Meanwhile, inside the inn,
Huo’er and Aixi had already made preparations.
Especially Aixi, who was trembling with excitement.
But Xue An was still in the room unresponsive.
Had he not awakened yet?
The two exchanged glances, about to go into the room to check.
