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

Nangong Ru gazed at the woods not far ahead, her amber eyes suddenly narrowing.

She quickened her pace.

With a few forward steps, the female night watchwoman kicked off the tree trunks with her black military boots, and quickly leaped and flashed between several large trees, covering hundreds of meters.

The woods in this area were full of signs of battle. The rough tree trunks were etched with weapon marks, and bloodstains were everywhere, clearly fresh. The bright red blood flowing in the snow looked like crimson splattered on a sundae.

Nangong Ru bent down, touched the bloodstains on the ground, and gently smelled a little: "It's the blood of the corrupted, and there's also a hint of vampire scent."

The female chief of the night watch quickly scanned the surrounding woods and snowfield. Clear footprints were visible everywhere, and the scene was very chaotic, indicating that there were quite a few people fighting on both sides, at least thirty or forty.

"It seems that it's not just one or two vampires."

Nangong Ru said, "There should be at least a vampire squad of several dozen people."

"A squad of dozens of vampires?" a middle-aged Night Watchman exclaimed in surprise. "How is that possible? How could so many vampires appear within the Empire's borders? There wasn't any warning from the Wall."

“That’s the truth.” Nangong Ru slowly stood up and looked at the middle-aged Night’s Watchman: “Old Li, contact the Wall and the Empire immediately.”

"Yes!" The middle-aged night watchman, Old Li, raised his wrist and touched the screen on his cyber watch.

After doing a few things, I was slightly taken aback.

"Chief, something's wrong. The signal here is terrible," Old Li said. "Our signal seems to be affected by some kind of interference; the equipment isn't working!"

"What?" Nangong Ru frowned immediately. "How could this be..."

Swah——

Swah——

Swah——

At that moment, several dark figures suddenly fell from the tree.

"Who??" Nangong Ru turned around with a cold look in her eyes, drawing her straight sword from her waist at the same time.

"Director Nangong, don't be nervous." Cang Feng stepped out of the bushes, revealing his War Academy badge: "One of us."

Behind Cang Feng were several extraordinary warriors from the Imperial Army, reinforcements he had brought from the Great Wall.

"You are... Cang Feng of the Confucian school?"

Nangong Ru recognized him and said expressionlessly, "You sent a carrier pigeon to report that my sister and the others had been kidnapped by rebel forces. What exactly happened?"

Cang Feng then recounted the entire story that had happened.

Nangong Ru frowned: "You mean, the lair of that group of rebellious forces in the wilderness is in this Hundred Souls Forest?"

“Yes,” Cang Feng said, “However, I suspect that there is a barrier around their lair. We have searched this forest for a very long time, but we have not found anything.”

"Moreover, there seems to be signal interference here. Many functions of our watches are not working properly, and the map cannot be loaded. We almost got lost in the forest."

"I suspect it was done by those vampire troops; they must have been carrying signal jamming equipment."

The vampires are a race that also possesses a highly advanced civilization.

Like humans, they possess a complete civilization system and social structure. Their race has a civilization history of millions of years, even surpassing that of humans. Therefore, their technological equipment is in no way inferior to that of humans.

Nangong Ru narrowed her eyes: "The vampire army? You know about it too?"

Cang Feng said, "I not only know about it, but I also personally witnessed a vampire squad fighting a spirit demon squad in the forest."

Nangong Ru exclaimed in surprise, "What???"

"This matter is related to our War Academy's mission. I spoke with Principal Lan Mi on the phone just now when there was still a signal."

Cang Feng slowly said, "The reason why the vampire army appeared here is to seize something."

"what?"

"The Holy Soul of the Spirit Demon Clan Empress".

......

Ye Family.

Yu Li stood alone in front of the workbench in the laboratory.

The table was covered with sheets of documents and drawings filled with complex symbols, and test tubes filled with colorful liquids were placed on a shelf, with blue flames slowly warming them underneath.

A dozen or so lines next to it were connecting stones engraved with runes to another instrument. Each rune lit up with a pale blue light and emitted a soft "buzzing" sound as the instrument operated.

Yu Li carefully poured the powder from the medicine bottle into the balance scale. The pointer of the instrument kept twisting and eventually came to a stop and balanced.

She turned the switch on the instrument, and energy began to be input.

"Just one last step..."

Yu Li took a deep breath, and her delicate face gradually became tense.

She took out a bottle containing a pale blue potion.

The liquid inside resembled glistening blue tears, radiating a mesmerizing glow under the light.

As ordinary people, there are some potions that we cannot concoct.

Some special medicines require the enhancement of extraordinary power during the refining process.

Yu Li has not yet awakened into a superhuman using a potion, firstly because she has not yet developed a potion suitable for herself, and secondly because she has never been confident in her improved version of the potion after Ye Ge modified the potion formula for her.

However, this time, Night Song needs the inhibitor she refines, which must be refined using extraordinary power.

"call......"

Yu Li opened the bottle cap, tilted her head back, and poured the potion down her throat in one gulp.

"Well......"

The girl frowned slightly, revealing a pained expression, as if she was enduring something.

"Ughh ...

......

That evening, the mechanical insects that Gao Shenxue had sent out to scout returned.

Gao Shenxue raised her finger, causing a mechanical bee to land on her slender finger. Her pupils gleamed with technological light as she recorded all the information obtained by the mechanical bee into her personal system.

"How is it?" Ye Ge asked.

"I'm sharing the data with you." Gao Shenxue's eyes flashed again, and a data panel appeared in front of her: "Please receive it."

A download progress bar appeared in front of both Ye Ge and Xia Xiyao, and they quickly received the data transmitted by Gao Shenxue.

Soon, a map appeared in front of them.

Numerous red dots appeared on it.

"More than one vampire squad has been detected within a ten-kilometer radius of the valley where Dark City is located."

Gao Shenxue said, "In the swampy rainforest to the east, we discovered three vampire squads, each with about thirty vampire warriors; in the canyon to the west, there were two vampire squads; in the forest to the north, there were four vampire squads; and in the forest to the west, there were also four. The total number is about four or five hundred vampire warriors."
