Having the genes of a demon king, I never intended to be a kept man.

Cang Feng never expected to see the forces of the Spirit Demon Clan and the Blood Clan in this Hundred Souls Forest.

The battle in the jungle was fierce. In an instant, several warriors on both sides fell, and more than a dozen corpses lay on the ground. Most of the fallen were warriors of the Spirit Demon Clan, and their crimson blood flowed between the jungle soil and the snow.

The vampire warriors were clearly stronger and more numerous, and the spirit demon army was quickly overwhelmed.

Cangfeng hid in the woods, observing secretly and carefully examining the situation on the battlefield.

This vampire squad has about thirty elite warriors. Although their strength was suppressed to the Hundred Souls Realm in the Hundred Souls Forest, Cang Feng could clearly sense that the true strength of these vampire warriors was probably at least at the Thousand Souls Realm! Moreover, they were all a group of very experienced battlefield elites!

Only about ten members of the Spirit Demon Clan's squad remained standing, all of them severely injured, relying entirely on willpower and faith to stay afloat.

Several spirit warriors, armed, stood guard beside a magnificent-looking box.

It looks like... they were escorting that box? But they were stopped by this vampire army.

Cang Feng hesitated for a moment, wondering whether he should go up and help.

Although the Spirit Demon Clan and the Human Clan are allies, the current situation, with such a vast difference in strength, clearly means that even if he intervenes, it won't change much...

"For the Empress! For the Spirit Demon Kingdom!"

A Spirit Demon warrior raised his longsword and swung it forward with great force.

The vampire captain in front of him looked contemptuous. Tyrone naturally parried his attacks and quickly found an opportunity in several exchanges, slashing his lower body with his sword and severing his right leg.

A scream of agony rang out as the Spirit Demon warrior collapsed to his knees. The Vampire Warrior Captain, like a shadow, circled behind him, revealing a pair of sharp, blood-sucking fangs, and lunged to bite down on his neck!

"Danglang"

The longsword fell to the ground.

The last few Spirit Demon warriors also fell, their blood drained by the vampires, turning them into dried corpses.

The vampire captain licked the blood from the corner of his mouth with satisfaction and sneered, "Check them over. Don't leave any alive."

Thirty-odd vampire warriors were examining the corpses of the spirit demons in the jungle.

Cang Feng hid well in the jungle, not daring to utter a sound.

His level was suppressed in the Hundred Souls Forest. If he were discovered at this time, he would not be confident that he could escape unscathed from the siege of more than thirty elite vampire warriors.

After confirming that all the Spirit Demons were dead, the vampire warrior captain arrived at the large box that the Spirit Demons were escorting.

The vampire captain scoffed, "These spirit demons actually sought help from humans, thinking they could fool us by sending a group of low-ranking warriors from the War Academy to distract us? Do they really think we don't know it's a sneaky trick?"

"Sir, what does 'crossing the Chencang pass in secret' mean?"

A vampire warrior behind him asked, looking bewildered.

"It's a kind of human idiom."

The vampire captain said slowly, "The Spirit Demons knew we wanted to stop them from bringing back the 'Holy Soul,' so they deliberately went to human territory to ask for help. They had the humans send a group of students from the War Academy to pretend to be escorting the 'Holy Soul' to distract us. Then, the Spirit Demons themselves took the opportunity to send the 'Holy Soul' back to the Spirit Demon Kingdom via another hidden route... Heh, how could such a trick possibly fool me?"

The main problem is that the students sent by the Human War Academy this time are all of very low level.

A group of low-level extraordinary beings whose strength level does not exceed the Hundred Soul Realm, they were obviously just brought out to make up the numbers.

How could we possibly let them escort a real "holy soul"?

"That's why I always tell you to read more. That way you won't be easily fooled on the battlefield, understand?" The vampire captain said in a condescending tone, "If all you know is fighting and killing and eating raw meat, you'll become a barbaric race like the werewolves, all brawn and no brains. We vampires are intelligent and noble."

Vampire Warrior: "Oh, yes..."

"..."

Cang Feng thought to himself, 'Good heavens, these days even vampires have become so cultured? They're even studying human classics?!'

The vampire captain then arrived in front of the magnificent large chest.

The large box was also engraved with the symbol of the Spirit Demon Clan and inlaid with blue and red gemstones.

"Once our lord obtains the 'Holy Soul'..." the vampire captain sneered, "the Count will lead us to conquer the last inch of the Spirit Demon Kingdom's territory. The Spirit Demon Empress, having lost the 'Holy Soul,' will be nothing more than a plaything in the Count's hands, hehehehe..."

With that, the vampire captain picked up his cane sword and forcefully broke the lock on the large box, prying it open.

The box was pried open.

However, when the vampire captain stepped forward and saw what was inside the box, his expression changed drastically.

Because the box was empty!

"What's going on?! How can it be empty...?! ...

The vampire captain suddenly let out a sharp and extremely shrill scream!

Suddenly, a magic circle composed of special inscriptions lit up inside the empty box!

A strange, dark red flame burst forth from the box!

The terrifying wave of fire spread rapidly in all directions, instantly engulfing all thirty-odd vampire warriors in the forest!

"Ah ah ah ah ah--!"

"This is...this is...ahhh—"

"Help......"

"..."

Cang Feng's pupils contracted.

In less than half a minute, all thirty-odd vampire warriors were devoured by the eerie dark red flames and burned to ashes!

"Demon Spirit Fire?"

Cang Feng observed from the shadows for a while longer, and only after seeing that all the vampire warriors had indeed been wiped out did he finally emerge from the shadows.

The surrounding forest was also engulfed by the demonic fire, burning it into a barren wasteland.

Cang Feng bent down to examine the corpses of the vampire warriors.

He murmured, "That's right, it is indeed the Demonic Spirit Fire..."

The boxes escorted by those spirit demon warriors must have been sealed with some kind of sealing formation.

Once the box is opened, the formation will activate, and the demonic spirit fire will erupt instantly, engulfing everyone around the box...

Cang Feng pondered: "So, the vampire captain just now made a mistake... This spirit demon team, which seems to be secretly escorting, is actually the bait to deceive others?"

"The vampires believe that the War Academy would never entrust the true 'Holy Soul' to a group of low-level superhumans for escort."

"But given Principal Lan Mi's personality..."

"Could they be thinking the opposite of what they're thinking and just find the weakest, most inconspicuous squad to escort them?"

Cang Feng was immediately ashamed.
