“What do you mean when you say Cao Shanshan is going to undergo The Embrace soon?”
Ling Yun was initially relieved that the Immortal Spiritual Energy knocked that wretched Chen Jianwei away. He was anxious again now that he heard Cao Shanshan was about to undergo The Embrace. He wished for nothing but a pair of wings to fly to the capital and rescue Cao Shanshan from that b*stard’s claws.
“Oh, Honorable Mister Ling, you have to know that the powers of a member rise rapidly if they have a continuous supply of fresh blood. That Baron, oh, no, that wretched Chen Jianwei is about to be promoted to a Viscount. A Viscount is ten times more powerful than a Baron. I think he will definitely find a way to carry out The Embrace with that little princess. In fact, he can’t wait…” Chester said in a small voice.
“Also, that wretched Chen Jianwei seems to have realized that your little princess has very special blood. He has invited a number of Viscounts and Earls, as well as a Grand Duke, from the United States to enjoy the fresh blood of your little princess. I think those people will definitely be eager to come upon hearing this news…”
“Bam!”
Ling Yun broke something in the car with a heavy punch. He was livid. “Chen Jianwei, Chen Family, alright, you’re really good. How dare you drink the blood of my woman. Aren’t you afraid of me destroying your pair of fangs?”
Paul and Chester were scared into silence.
“Continue accelerating as fast as you can!” Ling Yun ordered decisively. He had to get to Beijing as soon as he could!
…
“Oh, d*mn it, I hate daytime, I hate the sunlight…”
The silver-gray car was obviously modified. Daytime had arrived, but sunlight didn’t penetrate into the car. The interior of the car was still dark. Chester also put on a pair of sungla.s.ses to avoid the strong light from getting into his eyes. He was still on the highway.
At about nine in the morning — about eight hours after Ling Yun killed Jim — the silver-gray car and the black Audi finally reached the political center of Huaxia, Beijing!
They found a place to refuel the car after they got onto Fifth Ring Road. Ling Yun pulled Cao Tianlong to one side and asked, “Have you thought of a way yet? Are we going to your house during the day or at night?”
Cao Tianlong wasn’t as energetic as the Blood Clan. He hadn’t had a chance to rest since they were driving over two hundred miles an hour. His body wasn’t able to withstand the pace.
“Ling Yun, I didn’t expect you to go against the Blood Clan when I looked for you at Qingshui. I heard about your medical abilities from Shanshan and just hoped that you could cure my grandpa, dad, and mom. Our Cao Family will naturally have a way to turn the situation around once they are cured…”
Ling Yun shook his head and frowned. “I asked those two guys just now. The Embrace can’t be reversed. Once it happens, the person will become the walking dead. I don’t have an idea of how to treat them at the moment…”
This was the first time Ling Yun met with a problem he didn’t have an instant solution to!
The Embrace was really something different. He had no way at all with his current abilities.
The Nine Needles of the Spiritual Pivot? The Blood Clan had very little blood in them. Their meridians had lost their abilities, so what use was there?
Healing Talismans? The healing abilities of the Blood Clan was already a lot better than a Level Five Healing Talisman. It was also useless.
Pure Yin-Yang Qi? The pure Yin Qi in Ling Yun’s body could freeze Paul half to death, and there was no need to even mention the pure Yang Qi.
“I thought of a way that I would like your opinion on…” Ling Yun said.
“I might not be able to turn them human again, but we can rescue them first and release them from the control of the Blood Clan. We can try to communicate with them. If we can get through to them, we can think of a counter to Chen Jianwei. Let’s kill Chen Jianwei first…
“If we can’t get through to them, then we can only let them stay in their current state. We’ll treat them when I find a solution to it. What do you think?”
Ling Yun might be discussing the matter with Cao Tianlong, but Cao Tianlong could only run in the face of the Blood Clan. He obviously had no solution himself. His heart ached when he heard that Ling Yun had no cure, but he could only nod in silence.
No matter what, Ling Yun was the jinx of the Blood Clan. He could at least rescue his family first. It would be so much better than them being controlled by Chen Jianwei!
“Ling Yun, thank you, we can only do this for now. It’s only that it’s too dangerous for us to do that now…” Cao Tianlong’s grief couldn’t be concealed.
Ling Yun patted Cao Tianlong’s shoulder. “I’ll be frank with you, I consider Shanshan my wife now. Not to mention that she only met with these problems because she went home to help me. I have a huge responsibility in this matter too. I’ll definitely rescue her no matter how dangerous it is!”
Cao Tianlong was the most powerful special forces soldier in Huaxia. He was also a man of steel nerves, and he quickly turned sadness into motivation. “Ling Yun, you’re much stronger than me. I’ll do whatever you say for this rescue mission!” He wiped his tears away.
Ling Yun nodded. “I don’t think it would be wise to head in during the day. Even though the descendants of the Blood Clan are afraid of the sun, the same goes for your family. That’s why I think it’s better for us to go at night, kill all who aren’t part of your family, and rescue them. What do you think?”
“Also, you have to rest now, driving for so long was too tiring!”
Cao Tianlong’s eyes widened in anger, and he gnashed his teeth. “Let’s do it this way then!”
Ling Yun turned to Cui Lao once the discussion with Cao Tianlong was done. “Cui Lao, you know what happened to the Cao Family now. Since I’m here in Beijing, I can’t let Shanshan continue to suffer. She is now in danger, so I have to think of a way to save her first…” Ling Yun told Cui Lao through telepathy.
Cui Lao was naturally worried. “Young Master, should we head back home first, see your grandpa, and discuss this with him before thinking of how to save them?” He was adamantly against it.
Ling Yun shook his head decisively. “Cui Lao, I thought about this matter. It’s not simply a matter of the Blood Clan. The Blood Clan is here because Chen Jianwei from the Chen Family is controlling them. The Chen Family must be covering up for Chen Jianwei since he dares to make such a blatant move. We have no idea which families are allying themselves with the Chen Family. That’s why this can only be carried out in secret. Please report this back to Grandpa on my behalf. I believe Grandpa will understand me…”
That was one reason. The other was that Ling Yun didn’t want to expose his ident.i.ty just yet. It would be easier for him to do things when the enemy didn’t know about him.
“Cui Lao, can you give me a place to rest? It doesn’t need to be too good.”
Cui Lao laughed bitterly. “Young Master, our Ling Family might not be well off now, but there are still houses for you to stay in while you’re in Beijing! Which area do you want to stay in?”
Ling Yun smiled. “Somewhere with mountains and rivers. As long as it’s isolated and quiet. It’s best if it’s close to the Cao Family so that it’s easier for me to obtain news… Is there one that fits the bill?”
“Yes, but it’s on the west side of Beijing. I’ll bring you there now!”
Ling Yun came from the south of Beijing, which meant that they had to cross the entirety of Beijing to get to the west side. This journey gave Ling Yun an ample understanding of Beijing.
The biggest impression Ling Yun had was that Beijing was too big. It was at least as big as four or five Qingshui Cities. There were endless high-rise buildings and numerous good cars on the streets. Anyone who wasn’t familiar with Beijing wouldn’t know where to turn once they got onto the highway!
“This is really the place where the Emperor stayed…”
Ling Yun had been in cities a few times larger than Beijing in the Cultivation World. However, after being in Qingshui City for quite some time, he couldn’t help but be shocked by the bustling of Beijing.
It was nine in the morning, which was the peak hour. That was why they used two full hours to reach their destination.
The traffic in Beijing was well known.
The place that Cui Lao took Ling Yun to wasn’t a villa but a huge yard. It was quiet and remote. It’s redeeming feature was that it had mountains to its back and water flowing in the courtyard. It was a typical Beijing Courtyard House 1.
Cui Lao didn’t have the key to this place, but that didn’t bother them. They flew into the courtyard with Qinggong since there was no one around anyway.
“Hehe, Young Master, this place is one of the lands pa.s.sed down from our forefathers. It might be a small courtyard of little more than a thousand square feet, but we wouldn’t sell it even if we were offered two hundred million yuan!”
Ling Yun knew that the houses in Beijing were infamously expensive, but it was still a shock. “Two hundred thousand yuan per square foot?”
“It isn’t calculated that way. The courtyard houses within the fifth ring are not for sale anyway.” Cui Lao smiled.
Ling Yun nodded with understanding. “But there is no key, how are we to get into the house?”
“Wait for a short while, Young Master. I only have to make a call…” Cui Lao grinned.
