Chapter 742: Chapter 742
Translator: Doggotranslation
Chu Yunsheng knew that there was someone outside the door. He originally thought it was the suspicious Seina, or the eldest cousin Niels, but he did not expect that it would be a vampire. When the aura on her body was no longer concealed. It was even thicker than Ashe. Especially her skin-tight low-cut black dress, which displayed an alluring curvy body. Her whole body and eyes exuded a feeling like a fire of desire was burning fiercely in her body, making the originally unstable third mysterious force even more restless.
“Who are you?”
Chu Yunsheng had never seen this woman. His vision was limited by Jacob, and he knew that there was not much he could see.
“They call us the corrupted members.” The black-clothed woman gave Ashe a glance and stepped forward. Then she knelt on one knee in front of Chu Yunsheng, took Jacob’s hand, and kissed respectfully: “But, actually, it is not us who have corrupted, but them. My lord, please accept your most loyal servants – I, Buterne Rose, and other loyalists have kept our vows from ancient times!”
Chu Yunsheng withdrew his hand, frowning. The history of vampires seemed to be even more confusing. He looked at the s.e.xy woman who claimed to be Buterne and asked quietly, “How can you be sure that I am your lord? What if I am not?”
He has always been puzzled about this question. Why did all the vampires seem to be sure that he was some kind of undead king? There was definitely something that would help them to confirm it.
“Only the undead king can have such a pure aura of death!” Buterne leaned down and kissed the foot of Jacob’s slippers, and said respectfully.
Chu Yunsheng raised his head to look at Ashe. Ashe also nodded slightly to acknowledge.
Buterne then raised her head and chanted softly as if reciting something: “The creators said that when the dark night comes, the undead king will walk out of the black fog. He will hold a blood sword that once flattened the world in his right hand, and a long spear that once pierced the chest of the G.o.d in his left hand. He will have a longbow that once shot through the sky on his waist and step on…”
“What are you talking about?” Chu Yunsheng frowned and interrupted her: “I don’t have a sword, and my spear has become a needle. The longbow has long disappeared. Why do you still believe that it is me?”
Ashe said suddenly: “The creators said that we are the people that have been abandoned. G.o.d will curse us, the devil will laugh at us, and humans will fear and loathe us. Only the undead king is the meaning of our existence. And you also said that in this world, only you can protect us.”
Chu Yunsheng looked down at Buterne and said: “That doesn’t prove anything. Also, you should get up. I don’t like people kneeling to other people easily. Even if you were created by someone I know, you don’t need to talk to me like this.”
Buterne stood up and stood on the side quietly.
Ashe shook her head and said: “Your death aura is exactly the same as it is stated in our legend. No vampire will mistake it.”
Buterne also said: “Yes, that might not prove anything, but in order to avoid making any mistakes, I have gone back to verify it again, so now I am almost certain of it.”
Chu Yunsheng pulled out his chair and sat in front of the window. He really couldn’t figure out what the people from the Sixth Era were planning to do, so he must be careful. Moreover, Ashe’s sudden betrayal was very strange. There must be a reason that he didn’t know. “Ashe, we will talk about your business later. Buterne, since you said that you are certain, what evidence do you have?”
Hearing this, Buterne took out a carefully wrapped thing from the pocket behind her back. Holding it with both hands, she pa.s.sed it respectfully to Chu Yunsheng, “my lord, please read this blood scripture, then you will understand.”
Chu Yunsheng glanced at her suspiciously and took over the thing that was wrapped by layers of white clothes. After he opened it, it revealed a piece of broken blood-red paper that looked like it was made of skin.
Buterne said guiltily: “We only have this one in our hands, and the rest is scattered amongst other families. My lord, please lead us to take back all the blood scriptures.”
Ashe hesitated for a moment and said, “There is a piece in Murphy’s family.”
Chu Yunsheng looked at her, but he didn’t say anything. When he s.h.i.+fted his gaze back to the broken page, he frowned instantly.
He was familiar with the text on this piece of broken paper, but it was neither Chinese nor English. It turned out to be a character from the ancient book that the senior pract.i.tioner gave him!
The content inside made him almost stop breathing.
“…Finally, it’s my turn. Grandpa, are you still alive? The situation is very dangerous now, the war is still ongoing, and many people have died… We are going to retreat. They say that the archaeomes are extremely valuable, so I don’t want to talk too much nonsense. Anyway, they have finished talking about important things… (unreadable text)… The war caused by people fighting over G.o.dhood this time, I don’t know how many people will survive it. But everyone misses you very much… Edgar also woke up, Grandpa, if you are still alive, come back soon! …”
This was Cao Zhengyi!
Chu Yunsheng almost instantly figured out who left this text. Only Cao Zhengyi that group of people would always call him Grandpa, and within Cao Zhengyi that group of people, only Cao Zhengyi was qualified to leave a message.
Stroking the broken page that seemed to be alive, and reading the phrase “come back soon!”, many familiar but distant faces appeared before his eyes. For a moment, Chu Yunsheng’s eyes almost teared up.
After a long time of silence, Chu Yunsheng folded the paper slowly and said gloomily, “Do you understand the text written on it?”
Both Buterne and Ashe shook their heads and said, “Most of the words in the blood scripture are incomprehensible. We only understand the section that describes the legend and the sacrifice, and the section that is related to the creation of us.”
Chu Yunsheng sighed lightly. The characters of the seventh era and sixth era were roughly the same. The era leader clearly knew about it. The reason why he left two different types of writing meant he only wanted him to read the message.
“Buterne, can you give this to me?” Chu Yunsheng raised his head and asked.
He did not read the contents of the inside aloud, so Buterne and Ashe did not know what was written in them. But the expression that Chu Yunsheng had after reading it was clearly seen by them. Based on this reaction alone, both of them and Chu Yunsheng no longer questioned whether he was really the undead king.
Buterne respectfully said: “My lord, the blood scripture is always yours.”
Chu Yunsheng shook his head: “Don’t call me lord. It feels odd. In here, I have another ident.i.ty, you can call me Chi.”
Hearing this, Ashe immediately remembered what Chu Yunsheng said that night when he held a gun against Deere’s head. However, she felt very strange why he didn’t claim to be the G.o.d of death now.
As if seeing through her thoughts, Chu Yunsheng said: “I have an agreement with someone, so I will talk about this later.”
Regardless of whether it was the agreement Chu Yunsheng had with someone or the undead king, in the eyes of Ashe and Buterne, they were both extremely mysterious and related to a higher-level world, so Buterne still insisted: “my lord is always my lord. We are your loyal servants who sworn to serve you, not those corrupted members who have betrayed the oath.”
Chu Yunsheng didn’t care too much about the t.i.tle issue. He just felt very strange. But since the other party insisted, he simply decided to give up changing her mind. After all, using this kind of ident.i.ty would also be convenient for him to do some things.
Now the current situation was very clear. Most of the vampires who had taken the oath have betrayed the oath, and there were only a few people led by Buterne that were still loyal to him. As Ba Yi said, that the people who betrayed the oath wanted to catch him and use the sacrifice to make himself the undead king so that they could drink this blood and become powerful.
Therefore, Chu Yunsheng quickly understood why Ashe had turned against her family. Now that the two sides were going to have a fierce war, naturally, she wanted to select the side that was most likely to win. But this also gave Chu Yunsheng another idea. The so-called sacrifice was probably the method left by Mo Wuluo to help him reconstruct his body. So if there was a chance that he could use this method to “reborn”, then maybe he didn’t need to kill all the vampires to gather enough death aura. So Chu Yunsheng looked at Ashe and said: “You are very smart! You must have some plan. So tell me.”
Ashe looked at Chu Yunsheng’s gaze, feeling a little nervous. She knelt on one knee and said quietly: “Although the Murphy family is like a huge cold coffin to me, there are some people… I hope you can spare their lives.”
“You mean Deere?” Chu Yunsheng remembered that stubborn vampire.
Buterne snorted suddenly and gave Ashe a cold look.
Ashe became even more nervous. She even began to have sweat on her forehead: “There is really nothing between us, and it’s not just him, there are also a few other people who…”
At this time, there was a cold snort from outside the window of Jacob’s room, “you think that Deere is a good guy? 19—”
Chu Yunsheng frowned and said, “If you want to speak, just come in and say it. Hiding outside for so long, is it fun?”
After speaking, a figure slipped into the room through the window and said shamelessly: “I’m just pa.s.sing by, pa.s.sing by!”
Chu Yunsheng stretched out his hand and pointed to the corner and said, “First, stand there and talk. You are very dirty. Second, don’t interrupt me when I am talking. Otherwise, get out of my room. Third, it’s already midnight, so lower your voice.”
Ba Yi stared at him angrily. His mouth twitched a few times, but eventually, he didn’t say anything.
Chu Yunsheng turned his head and continued to ask Ashe: “How can you be sure that I will win?”
Ashe replied: “I thought about the battle that night on the outskirts for a long time, so—”
Chu Yunsheng pointed to Ba Yi and said: “I think he thinks the same as you, otherwise, he won’t always come to me. But I cannot promise you anything for the time being. You must prove to me that I can trust you first.”
Ashe nodded lightly and said: “I will cooperate with you.”
Chu Yunsheng stood up, drew a blank paper from Jacob’s desk, beckoned to the three of them, and said: “Now we have two forces in our hand. One is the people led by Buterne, and the other is Ba Yi’s men. However, we have many common enemies. So we can only eliminate them one by one. Let’s start with the Murphy family!”
“Write down the number of people in your family and how fast they will react to any accidents.”
…
“Buterne, can you arrange a sacrifice as soon as possible?”
Buterne shook her head and said: “The resurrection ritual needs to be carried out in ancient sites in Turkey. That place is heavily guarded by the corrupted members.”
Chu Yunsheng nodded and no longer held out much hope. After the four finished discussing, Ba Yi and Buterne quickly left to arrange the preparation.
Ashe was the last to leave the room. When she was about to go out, Chu Yunsheng asked a question: “Ashe, in fact, I still don’t quite understand—”
As if Ashe knew what Chu Yunsheng wanted to ask, she lowered her head and then raised her head and smiled slightly: “the Murphy family is a big family, but it is cold and ruthless. It only has masters, servants, and tools. My parents died very early in the hand of the master of Murphy’s family. Except for a few people who I grew up together with, I don’t miss anything about that place… In here, in this ordinary family, I felt something that I forgot a long time ago. If I could, I’d rather be a real member of the family than go back to that cold coffin mansion.”
Chu Yunsheng was silent for a moment, and said: “If there is a chance, I will keep him alive and let you kill him yourself.”
