683: Traces of the Bloodline

At the courtyard entrance, Wang Chen looked at Han Tianxing with surprise.

He couldn't quite understand why the High Grade Holy Quartz, which was what the other party referred to as a flawless crystal stone, was being returned for free, given its immense value.

Wouldn't it be better for him to keep it?

An abnormal situation must hide a monster. Wang Chen couldn't fathom Han Tianxing's intentions and ultimately shook his head, refusing, “This transaction was a willing one between us. Since the deal is concluded, there’s no reason for me to take it back afterwards.”

“Besides, the Dark Tyrant Ape Cub and I are incredibly compatible. Spending a bit more to buy it is worth it in my opinion.”

“City Lord Han, if you have no other matters, please excuse me.”

Hearing Wang Chen's words, Han Tianxing was at a loss for a moment.

A Dark Tyrant Ape Cub, valued at 300,000 spirit crystals, and he was refusing it when it was offered for free?

He had truly never encountered such a situation before.

“Young Master Wang, I merely wish to befriend you. Why must you keep me at such a distance…?”

After thinking for a moment, Han Tianxing was about to try persuading him again.

Wang Chen's current actions further confirmed to him that his background was extraordinary.

However, just then, before he could finish speaking, a hurried figure suddenly arrived outside the courtyard:

“City Lord, I finally found you! This is bad! Something big has happened!”

The newcomer was the City Lord’s Guard Commander. He looked anxious, and upon arriving beside Han Tianxing, he spoke rapidly, not even bothering to salute:

“Blackwood Town has sent an urgent message; they are under attack by an unknown force and are on the verge of falling.”

“What?”

Han Tianxing was stunned upon hearing this, then immediately flew into a rage:

“Who dares to run wild on my Qing Shi City’s territory? Have you found out the enemy’s Origin?”

“This subordinate does not know, but the urgent message from Blackwood Town mentioned that the enemies are not human. They are huge, ugly, possess a pair of fleshy wings, and crave fresh blood. The town’s guards have all been sucked dry into mummified corpses.”

“Moreover, their strength is extremely high, at least at Seventh Stage. Commander Li, who was guarding Blackwood Town, was instantly killed in one encounter.”

The Guard Commander, disregarding the presence of others, directly revealed all the information returned from Blackwood Town.

“This…”

Upon hearing the Guard Commander’s words, Han Tianxing’s body involuntarily trembled.

Commander Li of Blackwood Town was instantly killed by the invading enemy in one encounter?

This Commander Li was his trusted subordinate, with a strength reaching the Late Stage of Sixth Stage, placing him among the top ten in all of Qing Shi City.

“Where did these Demonic Path powerhouses come from? Or are they monsters that ran out of the Demon Beast Forest?”

Han Tianxing hesitated for a moment. Even he couldn't instantly kill Commander Li in one encounter.

At this moment, Wang Chen, who was preparing to close his door, also stopped in his tracks after hearing the Guard Commander's words.

What the other party described, why did it sound so much like the Blood Clan?

“The two Blood Clan Princes and Blood Clan Dukes, their landing spot is actually so close to me?”

Although Wang Chen was a newcomer, he knew a bit about Blackwood Town.

On his way from the Demon Beast Forest to Qing Shi City with Han Yutong, he happened to pass by this town, and Han Yutong had forcibly given him some introductions about the local customs.

“If I hadn’t left the Demon Beast Forest earlier, I might have run into these two guys.”

“No…”

“These two guys were even more severely injured than I was, especially that Blood Clan Prince, who was already on the verge of exhaustion before the teleportation. How dare they stir up trouble so quickly after arriving in this world? Could it be…?”

Wang Chen pondered, suddenly thinking of a possibility.

The Blood Clan feeds on blood; for them, blood is power.

Their risky attack on the village and town is likely because their Origin was injured, forcing them to take a risk and recover by absorbing fresh blood.

“These two guys are definitely trouble for me. If I can't eliminate them beforehand, I might be in danger next time I encounter them.”

With Wang Chen's current strength, after fully recovering, that Blood Clan Duke would be nothing to worry about, but that Blood Clan Prince was a huge hidden danger.

In a short period, even if he contracted the sixth beast pet, the Dark Titan, he would still be unable to close the gap in strength between himself and the Blood Clan Prince.

After all, currently, Wind's Sorrow's power has been exhausted, and in the Netherworld, Wang Chen has no way to find a trustworthy expert above Ninth Stage to recharge him.

“The more desperate they are now, the weaker they are. Taking this opportunity to resolve them is the best chance for me.”

Having made up his mind, Wang Chen turned to look at Han Tianxing.

At this moment, Han Tianxing was also looking at him.

Qing Shi City had been peaceful for over ten years. Aside from the previous Demonic Beast Forest riot and monster siege, this was the first time a town had been attacked.

This anomaly immediately made Han Tianxing think that it might be related to Wang Chen.

After all, the news he received was that Young Master Wang was being pursued and ended up in the Demon Beast Forest.

He couldn't help but speak:

“Young Master Wang…”

“City Lord Han, there’s no need to say more.”

Wang Chen directly waved his hand, interrupting him:

“I've probably guessed the identity of the enemy attacking the town.”

“You don’t need to worry; since it’s trouble I brought, I will handle it properly.”

As he spoke, Wang Chen pointed to the room:

“The Dark Tyrant Ape Cub has been left in my room. Please trouble City Lord Han to send someone to guard it, lest it be stolen.”

“Young Master Wang, rest assured, I will take care of this matter.”

Han Tianxing nodded, directly ordering the Guard Commander to stand guard there, then he said:

“That villain dares to attack a town under my jurisdiction; his arrogance is truly outrageous. I am willing to go with Young Master Wang and kill this villain together.”

“No need for that. That Blood… the enemy is powerful. It’s better for City Lord Han to remain in Qing Shi City.”

Wang Chen immediately shook his head and refused. He was still severely injured and couldn't maintain his Peak state for long.

If Han Tianxing went along to join the excitement, and by some oversight was killed by the Blood Clan Prince and Blood Clan Duke, wouldn't he incur Han Yutong's resentment for nothing?

Wang Chen still had a good impression of that little girl.

Having said that, Wang Chen didn't wait for Han Tianxing to reply, directly mobilizing his demonic power and transforming into a long rainbow, breaking through the air and leaving. His speed was so fast that in an instant, he became a small black dot in the eyes of Han Tianxing and the others.

“This, this, this…”

Seeing this scene, Han Tianxing and the others were all shocked.

This flying speed made them feel incredibly unbelievable.

Even with Han Tianxing's Middle Stage Seventh Stage strength, he was far from half as fast.

“This Young Master’s strength has probably reached Late Stage Seventh Stage or even Peak Seventh Stage. This is truly astonishing!”

“This is definitely a Saint-level figure from some major power!”

Thinking with inner shock, Han Tianxing instructed Hong Gu and the Guard Commander to keep an eye on the courtyard, while he himself quickly chased after Wang Chen.

To possess strength far surpassing his own at such a young age, in Han Tianxing’s view, this was no longer a matter of simply building good relations, but rather a necessity to cling tightly to this powerful connection.
