National Guardian's Gone and We're Done

Chapter 322 - 321: I’m Great Now, Better Than Ever

"Impressive. Only a few hours have passed, and you’ve already completely refined the Bloodline Power of the Vampire Clan’s Ancestor Cain."

Chu He praised.

He could imagine just how much pain Ye Lingyun had endured during the process.

But now, it seemed it was all worth it, because Chu He could also sense that

the power Ye Lingyun now commanded was enough to rank her among the strongest on the entire Blue Star. This was extremely gratifying for Chu He.

During this period of development,

he had finally, slowly, found some powerhouses who could shoulder the burden for the Great Xia Empire.

He just needed to wait for Ye Lingyun to fully adapt to the Bloodline Power of the Vampire Clan’s Ancestor Cain,

and she would definitely be able to hold her own when facing that Uzi from the Human Race Supremacy Association.

This power was far stronger than what Xiao Cangqing had possessed. Moreover, Chu He could tell that its full potential had not yet been completely unlocked.

Once it was, considering the comprehensive range of abilities the Vampire Clan possessed,

Chu He felt that in the Great Xia Empire, Ye Lingyun could now be considered the greatest expert, second only to himself.

Before, the entire Great Xia Empire had basically depended on Chu He alone, but now, things were different.

"Teacher, what do you need me to do next?"

Ye Lingyun asked.

"Next, I need you to take control of the entire Vampire Clan.

The Vampire Clan’s influence spreads across every sector of Blue Star.

Whether in economics, medicine, or other fields, they are far ahead of most other factions and empires.

In the areas where they lead, the entire Great Xia Empire combined can’t compare to this single Vampire Clan.

Furthermore, I want to use the Vampire Clan as the core to gradually consume the other factions of the Lighthouse Empire."

Chu He mused for a moment before revealing a plan that was still in its early stages.

Xiao Cangqing lay on the ground, trembling. He was completely crippled now.

And Chu He had actually started explaining such a sinister plan right in front of him.

If word of this got out, it would undoubtedly cause a massive uproar across Blue Star.

After all, many empires were already on guard against someone like Chu He.

Chu He’s strength was simply too overwhelming, and every time he appeared somewhere new,

he would display astonishing combat power and show growth that surpassed any ordinary person.

Even though Xiao Cangqing had fortuitously obtained the power of the Vampire Clan,

achieving a qualitative leap in strength, he was still no match for Chu He in the end.

If Chu He’s ambitious words were to spread, it would immediately put most empires on high alert,

even forcing them to unite against him.

At the very least, all the various factions within the Lighthouse Empire would be the first to start plotting against Chu He.geoThose factions, which had been constantly in conflict, might even band together because of this.

’Although I’m technically from the Great Jing Empire, I don’t consider myself a part of it at all anymore.’

’I started seeing myself as a citizen of the great Lighthouse Empire a long time ago.’

’Especially now that I’m a cripple, if I get a chance to leave,’

’I’ll definitely head straight for the Lighthouse Empire. I have a hiding place there.’

While he was the supreme controller of the Vampire Clan in the Lighthouse Empire,

’I’ve always been one to prepare for a rainy day, arranging an escape route far in advance.’

’I just never expected to need it so soon. This was something I hadn’t anticipated at all.’

’But it doesn’t matter. All those preparations were for a day just like this.’

’There’s no way I can ever return to the Great Jing Empire. If I did,’

’the first person to move against me would be that bitch, Ji Shengyue.’geo’If Ji Shengyue knew about my current state, she’d surely laugh her head off.’ The very thought made Xiao Cangqing grind his teeth in fury.

However, a more important question now weighed on Xiao Cangqing’s mind.

’Why would Chu He lay out these plans right in front of me? Has he already decided to kill me?’

Xiao Cangqing swallowed, moistening his dry, aching throat.

’Perhaps all those rainy-day plans I’d made before are completely useless now.’

"As for Xiao Cangqing, what do you plan to do with him?" Chu He asked.

"There’s some residual Bloodline Power of the Vampire Clan in his body,

but this Bloodline Power has been completely separated from Cain’s power.

Among the Vampire Clan, he can only be considered an ordinary member now.

However, I plan to keep him alive.

Let the outside world continue to believe that Xiao Cangqing is still the supreme controller of the Vampire Clan. Let him draw all the fire while I pull the strings from behind the scenes."

A cold smile appeared on Ye Lingyun’s face.

Xiao Cangqing’s heart trembled, but at least he had managed to cling to life.

But what awaited him was endless fear and danger.

Chu He nodded, agreeing with Ye Lingyun’s idea.

The current Xiao Cangqing couldn’t pull any more tricks. Even if he had the will, he no longer had the strength.

So, after holding it for a while longer, Chu He directly dispelled the barrier around them,

revealing the true scene within.

Ye Lingyun had also returned to normal.

The only visible differences were that the pupils of her eyes had turned blood-red, her skin had grown paler,

and two rather sharp fangs extended from her lips.

Other than that, she didn’t look any different from a normal person.

The vast majority of people who had been trapped in the Rainbow Welfare Institute quickly fled the area once they saw the crisis was over.

After all, the biggest trouble had already been dealt with by Chu He and the others.

If they didn’t leave now, who knew what other terrifying horror might suddenly appear.

Those who remained watched the situation timidly. Although they didn’t know what had just happened inside,

they didn’t dare to linger any longer.

Soon, only the participating team from the National Road Academy was left.

Xiao Yu, Nanting Snow, and Lin Zuoguang walked over.

Lin Zuoguang looked Ye Lingyun up and down, asking with concern, "You... are you okay?"

"I’m very good now. Better than I’ve ever been."

Ye Lingyun gave a cold smile.

Lin Zuoguang shrank back. Even though Ye Lingyun was smiling,

she exuded an aura that made him shudder.

It was a strange aura, like an indescribable, enigmatic presence.

Just looking at her sent a chill through Lin Zuoguang’s heart, and he hastily took a few steps back.

"DING! Host’s current status detected.

Task ’Participate in the Martial Arts Academy Ranking Tournament’ successfully completed. Reward granted: Sleeve Universe."

"Once Sleeve Universe is cast, it is as if the entire cosmos is drawn into a single sleeve. Its might is so great it can shake the heavens and the earth.

A Cultivator need only give a light wave of their sleeve, and space will tear as if ripped by an invisible hand, instantly opening up an independent pocket dimension.

Within this dimension, the flow of time can be slowed or hastened. The growth and decay of all things are subject to a single thought.

If an enemy is carelessly pulled inside, they will be like an ant dropped into the vast ocean. No matter how they struggle, escape from this tiny prison is impossible.

It can also manifest endless, ever-changing scenes according to the Cultivator’s will.

Some Cultivators use this art to simulate an Immortal Mountain and Jade Pavilion, wreathed in clouds and mist, with Spiritual Birds and Exotic Beasts flying through it, making it an excellent place to cultivate one’s temperament.

Others transform it into an endless battlefield, simulating all kinds of powerful enemies to temper their own Martial Arts and character, achieving a state of invincibility."

The system’s notification tone sounded.
