Sorry, there's a power outage in the neighborhood. I'll only be back at 9 AM tomorrow. I'm stuck in the internet cafe writing now!
I can only write two more chapters at the internet cafe. There will be a total of eight chapters tomorrow. I'm begging for monthly votes for the last 24 hours!

Cao Tianlong was heartbroken, but Ling Yun was very calm. He put away his Devil's Blade immediately after killing the six foreign descendants of the Blood Clan.
The Devil's Underworld Essence Blade was meant to be used against enemies, but these two were Cao Tianlong's grandfather and father. Even though they had been embraced by Chen Jianwei and became members of the Blood Clan, Ling Yun wouldn't hurt them.
Cao Tianlong's grandfather was Cao Junxiong, and his father was Cao Xingchang. Both of them were ancient martial arts practitioners. Cao Junxiong was at the early stages of Xiantian Realm Level Four, while Cao Xingchang was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level One. They were the previous and current head of the Cao Family.
Ling Yun locked onto them with his divine sense. At the same time, he used his Yin-Yang Eye to its maximum to observe their every move.
"That's not right …"
Ling Yun couldn't help but reveal a trace of doubt as he looked at the two of them.
Ling Yun had heard from Chester and Paul that The Embrace of the Blood Clan was a blood oath that couldn't be reversed or destroyed. Once The Embrace was completed, the person being embraced would have to be completely loyal to his master. As long as his master didn't die, he wouldn't be able to betray his master.
However, being completely loyal didn't mean that the person who was embraced would lose his soul, will, and personality.
No matter if it was Jim, Chester, or Paul, they all had their own souls and personalities. The way they talked and acted were all different. Moreover, they had their own preferences and fears.
Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang, on the other hand, looked like two walking corpses. It was as if their souls had been sucked out.
"Grandpa, Dad, why aren't you saying anything? I'm Tianlong! Ling Yun and I are here to save you. What's wrong with you? "
After suffering for a while, Cao Tianlong also realized that something was wrong. This was because the first time he returned home with his comrades, Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang weren't like this. They were just cold to him and didn't dare to appear under the sun. But now, Cao Tianlong realized that they didn't recognize him anymore.
"Ling Yun, what … what's going on? What should we do now? "Cao Tianlong panicked as he turned to look at Ling Yun.
"Chester, what's going on? Why do they look like they've lost their souls?" Ling Yun's face darkened. He didn't even turn around to look at Chester.
"Oh, Shet! Impossible! This is absolutely impossible! " Jester mumbled as if he had seen a ghost. "Impossible. His competence couldn't have increased that fast!"
Paul's expression changed as well. He pointed at Cao Xingchang and Cao Junxiong. "Honorable Boss, this is the Evil Eye. Only high-level members of the Blood Clan can use the Evil Eye … Damn Chen Jianwei, how did he level up so quickly?"
High-ranking members of the Blood Clan could hypnotize innocent victims with just a glance or a gesture, luring them out of the safe house and toward the hiding place of the Blood Clan. They would then be killed without any resistance.
This ability of the Blood Race was known as the Evil Eye.
The Evil Eye could perform hypnosis, and it could even control a person's thoughts and actions when it reached a certain level. It could completely erase a human's will and soul, turning them into the servants and puppets of the Blood Clan.
Other than pure-blooded members of the Blood Clan, ordinary humans who became Vampires after The Embrace had to be at least a Viscount to be able to use the Evil Eye. However, Chen Jianwei already had the ability to use the Evil Eye!
In other words, Chen Jianwei had already advanced to a Viscount two months after returning to the country. How could Paul and Chester not be shocked by such a terrifying rate of improvement?
"This is the Evil Eye?" Ling Yun's brows furrowed even tighter. He pursed his lips, and his expression darkened. He couldn't help but worry for Cao Shanshan.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!"
Before Ling Yun could reply to Cao Tianlong, Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang pounced toward Ling Yun and the others as if they had received some kind of command!
"The three of you, stand down!" Ling Yun roared as he flew forward. "Ling Yun, please don't hurt them!" Cao Tianlong's sorrowful voice came from behind him.
Cao Tianlong was afraid that Ling Yun would kill them, so he didn't forget to remind Ling Yun.
"I don't need you to remind me!"
Ling Yun replied in the air. I don't need you to remind me. I won't be able to save Shanshan if I kill your grandfather and father.
"Bang!"
Ling Yun was the first to meet Cao Junxiong head-on. He knew that his opponent was a Xiantian Realm Level Four master, so he didn't dare to be careless. He circulated the Stellar Condensation Technique to the extreme and took Cao Junxiong's full blow!
Cao Junxiong's figure flew backward, but Ling Yun was unharmed. After landing on the ground, the tip of his toes touched the ground again. Although he moved later, he arrived first. In an instant, he stood in front of Cao Xingchang and took another blow from Cao Xingchang.
These were two Xiantian Realm masters from Huaxia who had transformed into the Blood Clan. Ling Yun took two blows from them because he wanted to see how they were different from descendants of the Blood Clan like Chester and Paul.
The results of the test shocked Ling Yun!
Cao Junxiong's strength was even greater than Cheng Gangxiong's when he was at Xiantian Realm Level Five! Similarly, Cao Xingchang's strength was greater than Cui Lao's when he was at the pinnacle of Xiantian Realm Level One!
The strength of an ancient martial arts master from Huaxia who had transformed into the Blood Clan could increase by more than one level! Moreover, this was the result of their transformation!
Ling Yun knew that the two of them were like walking corpses. Since they attacked, they must have used all their strength from the start. There was no way they would have held back.
"Ling Yun, are you alright?"
Cao Tianlong was extremely touched when he saw that Ling Yun didn't dodge and took two blows from his grandfather and father head-on. He started to worry for Ling Yun again.
"I'm fine …"
Ling Yun smiled bitterly. He didn't do all of this to make Cao Tianlong feel touched. He was preparing to deal with that damned Chen Jianwei. Only by knowing oneself and the enemy could one win a hundred battles.
However, Ling Yun didn't take those two blows for nothing. He was pleasantly surprised because he realized that there was still Xiantian True Qi circulating in Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang's bodies!
The Xiantian True Qi meant that their energy centers and meridians were still there. Ling Yun's acupuncture would be effective as long as these were still there.
As for the reason, Ling Yun wasn't sure. Perhaps it was because of the process of The Embrace, or perhaps it was because they had already reached the Xiantian Realm. Perhaps it was because of their Asian bloodline. Perhaps it was because they hadn't been completely transformed into members of the Blood Clan yet …
However, Ling Yun was more inclined to believe that it was because Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang had reached the Xiantian Realm. After all, the Xiantian Realm's conception and governor meridians had long been opened, and they had achieved the Unity of Heaven and Man. Their physique was already very different from ordinary people.
Ling Yun could only slowly study this with Chester and Paul after he captured them.
At the thought of this, Ling Yun let out a long laugh and used the Dragon Fish Phantom Ability and Fulgurating Shadows to split himself into two. He left an afterimage in his original position and dashed in front of Cao Xingchang and Cao Junxiong.
"Freeze for me!"
Ling Yun's fingers were as fast as lightning as he struck a few acupoints on both of their bodies. After he was done, Ling Yun's figure flew back to his original position. Even then, the afterimage that he had left in his original position hadn't disappeared!
Ling Yun's Fulgurating Shadows could already split into nine after he reached the pinnacle of Physique Tempering Stage Nine!
Then, Cao Tianlong, Chester, and Paul were shocked to see Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang struggle slightly before their bodies slumped to the ground like noodles.
"Just like the Blood Clan, their bodies are stronger than before …" Ling Yun muttered to himself as he raised his hand and looked at his fingers.
"Ling Yun, w-what did you do to my grandfather and father? How did they fall to the ground? "
Cao Tianlong roared angrily as he saw his grandfather and father fall to the ground. He flew to Ling Yun's side and shouted angrily.
"It's nothing, I just sealed a few of their acupoints. That's good, it saved us a lot of trouble …" Ling Yun chuckled.
In order to tie up Cao Junxiong and Cao Xingchang, Ling Yun had prepared a few ropes. Each of them was weaved from the Golden Black Devilish Silk and was more than ten meters long. Even though they were only as thick as hemp thread, they were definitely useful. Even a Xiantian Realm Level Nine expert might not be able to escape after being tied up.
Cao Tianlong heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that. However, he was still worried. In a flash, he came to the side of his grandfather and father. He finally calmed down when he saw that they weren't dead.
Ling Yun also flew forward and observed them for a while. After confirming that they were indeed sealed, he said to Chester and Paul, "Both of you, come over here and help me keep an eye on them. If anything goes wrong, you'll have to bear the consequences!"
"Yes! Respected Boss! "
Paul and Chester were once again dumbfounded when they saw Ling Yun's unintentional display. They had completely regarded Ling Yun as Satan in their hearts.
"It's not six, it's eight. They're all in the backyard. I'll get them out now and bring them along!"
Ling Yun said to Cao Tianlong before his figure flashed in and out of the house. Very quickly, he got all eight of them out. Those who needed to be sealed had their acupoints sealed and those who needed to be tied up were all tied up.
Then, Ling Yun released his divine sense and executed his movement technique. He quickly circled the entire courtyard of the Cao Family and flew back after confirming that there was no one else alive.
"These are the ten of them. However … there are still twelve corpses in one of the storage rooms in your house. Do you want to take a look?"
Ling Yun frowned as he whispered, afraid that Cao Tianlong wouldn't be able to accept it.
"What!"
Cao Tianlong was stunned when he heard that. He couldn't stand anymore. His face turned pale as he fell to the ground! (To be continued.)
