"What is this thing, so eerie?" Lin Tian wondered aloud. Although he had seen the peculiarities of Gu arts, those were ant to deal with ordinary people, while the black aura before him could affect Blood Clan mbers, even those at the lord level.
Zhang Lingyu carefully observed the black aura in the bottle for a while before saying, "This should be a secret technique of the Blood Clan. If I’m not mistaken, the caster is also a mber of the Blood Clan. They used their own blood along with tiny insects to concoct Blood Worms, which are living organisms."
"After being hit by this secret technique, the Blood Worms will attach to the victim, hiding within the bloodstream. When the Blood Worm is dormant, it masquerades as Blood Clan blood, making it nearly indistinguishable from the real thing. Since Blood Worms spend most of their ti dormant, even if soone suspects and investigates, they won’t find anything."
"When the Blood Worms are active, they burrow into the brain via the bloodstream without needing to damage the brain’s structure, yet can still affect the Blood Clan’s mory and even thoughts. Because the Blood Worms are cultivated using Blood Clan blood through a secret technique, they are very effective against Blood Clan mbers."
"However, these Blood Worms are extrely difficult to concoct and very rare. Otherwise, the caster could unify the Blood Clan Alliance with just this secret technique." Zhang Lingyu explained in detail.
"How do you know about the Blood Clan’s secret techniques?" Lin Tian asked curiously.
Zhang Lingyu confidently smiled and said, "Don’t forget who I am. I’m a Demon Exorcist, and I’ve been studying all sorts of strange things since childhood. Actually, I suspect that this kind of Blood Clan secret technique originated from Huaxia because it has characteristics of both Gu arts and Huaxia witchcraft."
Lin Tian nodded in agreent, saying, "It’s not surprising that the Magicians of Huaxia, who traveled the world and sailed across the seas, would spread secret techniques abroad. Also, foreigners who visited Huaxia might have taken things like Gu arts and witchcraft back with them."
"Brother Tian, what’s wrong with my sister?" Rossi asked as he approached, slightly worried, but instinctively keeping a distance from the glass bottle. Even though the glass bottle was sealed with a talisman, he still felt the inherent danger of the Blood Worms.
Lin Tian waved his hand to calm him down and said, "You heard what Lingyu said. Charlotte was afflicted with Blood Worms, leading to mory loss and confusion. Now the Blood Worms have been expelled, but we’ll have to see how well she recovers. Be patient; once she wakes up, we’ll know the outco."
"Alright, Brother Tian." Rossi replied, forced to wait patiently.
Charlotte had already been placed on the sofa by Ai Wei. The usually proud and domineering Lady Lord now looked weak, her brow knitted with pain, a stark contrast to her usual strength.
Charlotte’s normally commanding presence was charming, yet her current vulnerable state had its own unique allure.
"Ai Wei, take your master back to her bedroom. It seems she won’t wake up for so ti," Lin Tian instructed.
"Yes, Lord Lin Tian." Ai Wei replied respectfully, crouching down to carry her mistress upstairs.
A while later, Ai Wei returned to the living room and said to Lin Tian, "Lord Lin Tian, I’ll arrange your accommodations. We can’t spend the whole night in the living room."
Lin Tian nodded, following Ai Wei upstairs along with Rossi and Zhang Lingyu.
Ai Wei arranged three rooms for them. Vampires don’t need sleep, but Lin Tian hadn’t slept for two days and nights. He didn’t hesitate to head into the room to wash up before going to bed.
However, just as he ca out of the bathroom, another woman jumped in through the window. Recently, there had been so many won jumping through windows that he was becoming numb to it.
"Zhang Lingyu, it’s late at night. Aren’t you tired?" Lin Tian asked casually, seeing that it was the Beautiful Sky Master who had jumped in.
"I just wanted to ask when you’re planning to return ho. Being away for so long has disrupted many plans. I need to return and explain things to my family," Zhang Lingyu replied directly, ignoring Lin Tian’s question.
"I’ll definitely return. No matter how nice it is here, it’s still abroad. Listening to our native language is more comforting," Lin Tian said calmly.
"I thought you’d be so happy having won around you all the ti that you’d forget to go ho," Zhang Lingyu teased Lin Tian intentionally.
Lin Tian smiled inwardly, knowing her little thoughts too well: "Are you worried I might seize control over Charlotte and beco a lord among the Blood Clan, unwilling to return?"
"Isn’t it true? Charlotte is beautiful and has a great figure, and now she’s even your maid. Isn’t your heart already aflutter? Besides, there’s Ai Wei who listens to your every word, and on the island, there are many beautiful Blood Clan won. Haven’t you felt the stirrings already?" Zhang Lingyu said with a tinge of jealousy, staring intently at Lin Tian.
Lin Tian smiled slightly, deliberately eyeing the ample bosom of the Beautiful Sky Master, and said, "I’m feeling pretty stirred up right now."
"You... Hmph, I’m too lazy to bother with you. Anyway, Xuanxuan is waiting for you to save her. Do what you think is best. I’m just here to remind you." Zhang Lingyu snorted a few tis and turned to jump out of the window.
Lin Tian called her back solemnly, "Rest assured, I’ve never forgotten the purpose of my visit here. Once Rossi’s matter is resolved, I’ll naturally head back."
Zhang Lingyu’s deanor softened slightly, but she still said, "I thought you intended to stay with the Blood Clan and unify the Blood Clan Alliance."
Lin Tian scoffed, "I’m used to being free and laid-back. Why would I want to unify the Blood Clan Alliance? I have no interest in such troubleso matters."
"Alright then, what are your plans after returning ho?" Zhang Lingyu asked.
Lin Tian sighed slightly and said, "I’ve already obtained the bloodlines of Nu Ba and Houqing. Next are the bloodlines of Jiang Chen and Ying Gou. There’s no information on Ying Gou, so it’s hard to make a move. As for the Jiang Chen bloodline, starting with Xu Feibai might be a breakthrough, so my next destination could be Japan."
"Ying Gou, huh? If you still have no clues, you can co to the Zhang Family to find . Our family has a large collection of ancient records, so of which might be helpful for you," Zhang Lingyu said softly.
"You’re asking a zombie to visit a Demon Exorcism Family? Do you think I’m suicidal?" Lin Tian laughed helplessly.
Zhang Lingyu, however, didn’t mind and said, "I once left a talisman in the palm of your hand. With that talisman, the Zhang Family mbers won’t discover your identity."
"Then I shall thank you in advance," Lin Tian said sincerely.
The female Heavenly Master sighed slightly, "Xuanxuan is my good friend. I, too, hope she can get through this ordeal."
An ordeal? Lin Tian also sighed inwardly. Back then, Senior Sister Zi Yan used the "Imperial Pole Worldly Book" to predict that Xiao Manxuan would face such a calamity.
Lin Tian had been sowhat skeptical before, but now it seed that Zi Yan’s skills were incredibly high, and she was definitely more than just a beauty salon owner.
Still pondering the mystery of Zi Yan, Lin Tian felt a gentle breeze brush the room. When he looked up again, Zhang Lingyu’s figure had already disappeared from the window. Lin Tian shook his head slightly and went to bed.
Early the next morning, still lost in his dreams, Lin Tian was abruptly awakened by a loud knocking on the door.
