My senior sister is not a human being!

But it's just to praise the owner.

"Master is so smart." Raorao looked at him sincerely, her peach blossom eyes curved like crescent moons.

"So, Raorao, you are the most likable." Su Yuchen rubbed Raorao's head, then looked at the manor below again.

"We don't need to consider the three clans of Wei'an, Olevi, and Aiden for now. The queen faction and the diehard faction of the two clans of Xia and Ganglun are almost equal. The remaining [Demon Party] consisting of Nole, Beth, Pain, and Jimis still claims to be the ultimate source blood of the vampires and is very hostile to Senior Sister Tia. Let's start with the Pain clan today."

"Raorao listens to the master... well, hit wherever the master points, meow~"

"Walk."

Just as Su Yuchen was about to leave holding Raorao's hand, an ancient and long bell suddenly rang out in the manor.

"Discovered?" Su Yuchen frowned, a little surprised.

"No." Raorao explained, "It is the bell for the Blood Clan to convene the highest level [Blood Council]. It will ring thirteen times, and all councillors must arrive in the capital within an hour to attend the council."

Su Yuchen thought for a moment and said, "Then wait a while before going down."

"Why?" Rao Rao asked, "Can't we kill all the fish that slipped through the net without letting them go?"

Su Yuchen pinched her cheek and said, "I suddenly thought of a better way to surprise Senior Sister Tia."

Chapter 449 President, You Are Slower Than Me Again

As one of the thirteen clans of the blood race, the Pain clan has the broadest and deepest influence in the Empire of Night.

It's not because of strength, but because of history.

Although the Pain clan gave birth to the Sixth True Ancestor, that was a long time after the position of the upper clan was determined.

The influence of the Pain clan existed long before the birth of the Sixth True Ancestor—because the seats occupied by the Pain clan were the ones with the least power changes.

Ever since the Pain clan came to power, they have always held this seat. Even after the Sixth True Ancestor returned to the River of Blood, their status has never been shaken.

Because of the low replacement rate, the Pain clan claims to be the blood clan closest to the first ancestor. Therefore, when facing other superior clans, they will involuntarily show the arrogant side of their bloodline that is close to the source blood.

Therefore, the Pain clan is the most hostile to the three major clans of Xinyue, Yongan and Yexi, believing that their appearance has polluted the pure river of blood, and therefore has always been the main force to suppress the three major clans.

The two major clans, Yong'an and Yexi, were successfully suppressed, but the Crescent Moon clan rose up strongly. No matter how unwilling the Pain clan was, it could only lie dormant because of its lack of strength and interfere with the orders of the Queen of the Night through the parliament.

After discovering that the number of supporters in the parliament was gradually decreasing, the Pain clan had to unite with the Nole, Beth and Jimis clans to form the "Demon Party" to deal with the Night Queen's erosion of the [Blood Parliament] and maintain the noble and pure bloodline of the vampires.

They were angry about the neutrality of the Vian, Olev and Aiden clans; they felt powerless about the division of the Xia and Ganglun clans; and they hated the Queen of the Night even more.

In order to maintain the purity of the long river of blood, they tried one method after another, just to drive the Queen of the Night off the throne and prevent the orthodoxy of the blood clan from being polluted by acquired species.

Pain Manor, ancient castle.

Listening to the sound of ancient bells ringing outside the window, Lucien Payne, the silver-haired patriarch of the Payne clan, sat expressionlessly on the imitation blood throne, and his knuckles on the armrests on both sides gradually relaxed.

As the clan responsible for the western defense of the Empire of Night, he had already received information about Oakley Payne's death. He was originally in a bad mood, but he actually relaxed after hearing the bell.

If nothing unexpected happens, the Wolf Ancestor has already succeeded, so the bell rings at this time, the purpose is to deal with sudden changes.

Everything was going according to the pre-planned plan. The next step was to go to Blood Moon City to preside over the [Blood Council], criticize the Crescent Moon Clan, integrate the power of the Night Empire, and then sit on the real Blood Throne.

Although the Fourth and Eighth True Ancestors are still alive, the clans they represent do not have as much influence in the parliament as the Pain clan, so he is already a sure winner in ascending the throne.

"Damned acquired species..." There was a ferocity flashing in Lucian's bloodshot eyes. He did not regret the cooperation with the werewolves. The Queen of Night was their common enemy, and only the pure blood he represented could make the Empire of Night more glorious than it was now!

With this thought in mind, Lucien slowly stood up and walked down the stairs. In the blood-red light surging from the soles of his feet, his clothes turned into formal attire with red as the main color and purple as the secondary color.

This time when he went to the [Blood Parliament], he would be the second king of the Pain clan to sit on the Blood Throne.

Lucian stopped by the wall and reached for the blood-red sword hanging on the wall.

The long sword is named [Dusk], which originated from the first ancestor, a vampire magic weapon as famous as [Twin Red Spider Lily].

Just as he grasped the scabbard with his right hand to take the sword off, and before he put his hand down, the classical red door was suddenly pushed open roughly. Lucian immediately turned his head and looked coldly at the figure who rushed in unruly.

"Toston, you..."

However, before he finished speaking, Toston said in a panic: "Renault was repelled by Her Majesty the Queen!"

click!

Lucian's hand almost lost control of the Dusk and dropped onto the red carpet. His expression froze for a moment, and then he raised his voice in an inappropriate tone: "What did you say?!"

Toston knelt on the ground and repeated, "Renault went to Blood Moon City alone. Her Majesty the Queen was well prepared and used [Higanbana] to severely injure Renault. Renault fled back to the Star Tribe!"

Listening to Toston's voice, Lucien's body swayed, and the first thought that came to his mind was: his throne... is gone!

"Why?" The next second, Lucian looked at Toston with a ferocious expression: "Isn't she in the Sky City? Didn't that old man Renault say that she was indeed trapped in the Sky City? Why did she appear in Blood Moon City?"

Toston, who was kneeling on the ground, did not speak. The plan to take back the throne from the acquired vampires was started several weeks ago. The most critical point of this plan was that Her Majesty the Queen could not return to the Empire of Night.

As long as she doesn't come back, she will be able to seize the throne by cooperating with the Star Tribe and expel Xinyue, Yong'an and Yexi from the list of superior clans.

But now...

"Lord Lucian." Toston raised his head and looked at the out-of-control patriarch: "Her Majesty the Queen has now convened the [Blood Council], and no one is allowed to be absent."

The sound of the bell outside the window was reduced to an echo. Lucian, holding [Twilight] tightly, sighed, "Do you think she knows that I have a connection with Renault?"

Toston hesitated for a moment and said, "Lord Lucian, I don't think it's important whether you know this or not. The action against Hill Crescent was also led by you... I believe Her Majesty the Queen is also aware of this."

"Now that Hill Crescent has awakened, Renault's confident action failed at the very beginning. According to Lord Amber in Blood Moon City, even Renault in his final transformed form is no match for Her Majesty the Queen."

"Her Majesty is much stronger than before."

Listening to Toston's voice, Lucian silently stared at the [Twilight] in his hand. How could he not know all this?

But he still found it hard to accept that he had reached this dead end.

What else can we use to fight against Cristia Crescent?

"You go in my place." Lucian hesitated, and handed the [Twilight] in his hand to Toston with difficulty: "Give [Twilight] to her, and consider her the winner of this round. Sooner or later, the Pain clan will win back everything they lost today!"

Toston did not answer the call, but said, "Lord Lucien, you are one of the vice-chairmen. If you are not present, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely deprive you of your vice-chairman qualification. Without this layer of protection, Her Majesty the Queen will kill you."

"Even if there is, won't he kill him?" Lucian laughed at himself, took a deep breath, and walked out with [Twilight]: "I will go to Blood Moon City first, you go find him and see if he has any solution."

At this point, Lucian paused, turned around and looked at the back of Toston's head: "Have you caught the bug that sneaked into the manor before?"

"No."

"The bugs don't know 'his' secret, right?"

"Shouldn't..."

"Should?" Lucian smiled noncommittally: "Forget it, bugs are just bugs. Let's solve the problem at hand first."

“If…” Lucian started walking out again, murderous intent in his eyes: “If anything happens to me, go find Oguchi… Kill him, and kill all the traitors who tried to show their loyalty to Cristiana.”

"The pure blood brought by our ancestors must never be loyal to those inferior mixed-blood bastards!"

Oguchi Payne, the leader of the Queen's Faction of the Payne clan, and other vampires of the Queen's Faction live in another manor to the south most of the time.

"As ordered."

After Lucien Payne's footsteps disappeared, Toston slowly stood up. As one of the five princes of the Payne clan, he had always served as a steward, so he knew most of the secrets of the Payne clan.

He naturally knew who the 'he' that Lord Lucian was talking about was, so he was very hesitant at this moment. After all, 'he' was a dangerous existence.

It’s not the strength that is dangerous, but the identity that is dangerous.

But now, this is the only method left to try.

Turning and walking out of the castle, Toston looked at Lord Lucian and other members of the clan walking away, and after hesitating for a moment, he turned and walked towards the back of the manor.

Coming to the lawn covered with blood-red thorn vines, Toston looked left and right, then chanted an ancient vampire spell, and the thorn vines on the ground spread to the left and right, revealing a door.

A door sealed with super-level forbidden magic.

Toston calmly released the forbidden spell and walked towards the opened underground passage. His figure gradually disappeared in the bottomless stairs. The door closed again, the forbidden spell was restored, and the vines once again covered this little-known underground passage.

Not long after Toston entered the underground passage, a figure with silver hair, bloodshot eyes and a striped tiger tail walked out of the space, silently staring at the underground passage covered by thorny vines, as if thinking about how to enter it.

In mid-air, looking at this figure who could also use space magic to a certain extent, Su Yuchen frowned slightly. He found that the temperament of this mixed-race woman who looked like a human, a beast and a vampire was a little familiar.

After a little thought, he knew who this woman resembled in temperament—the animal-eared hybrid woman who took over the mysterious department of the Sky City Amusement Park!

The same magical fluctuations that sound like both a sage and a demon king.

"Mu Lingyan's subordinates."

Su Yuchen instantly determined the identity of the woman in front of him. Recalling the conversation between Lucian and Toston that he had just overheard, some of Su Yuchen's doubts were resolved.

The 'taboo' that appeared in the Night Empire was related to the Pain clan. This was what the mixed-race woman in front of him reported to Mu Lingyan, otherwise he would not appear here.

The secret in the underground passage is 'taboo'.

Thinking of this, a smile flashed in Su Yuchen's eyes. He was exposed to the "taboo" faster than Mu Lingyan.

Mu Lingyan knew that there were "taboos" here, but she didn't know the specific circumstances of the "taboos", otherwise the mixed-race woman in front of her would not continue to come here to try to collect intelligence.

"They invited me to a party on Christmas Eve and said I would know once I got there..." Su Yuchen smiled, "But they just didn't tell me that I had a relationship with the Pain clan. How petty. But I am still luckier."

"Raorao, can we go in quietly?" Su Yuchen turned his head to look at Bai Raorao. There was a big cat that ignored space by his side.

"It's no big deal, meow~" Raorao wagged her tail happily. No matter when, as long as she could help her master, it would be something to be happy about.

"Great." Su Yuchen pinched Raorao's face, wondering what Mu Lingyan would give him in exchange after this time.

"Let's go then."

"Wait a moment, let Raorao determine the position first..."

……

Chapter 450: As a junior, of course I have to protect the seniors from the wind and rain

Ancient blood clan spells were carved on the blood-covered walls of the house. The magic power extracted from the long river of blood turned into blood chains as thick as wrists, which locked a blood clan youth who was kneeling on the ground with scars all over his body from different directions.

Da da da.

The sound of footsteps coming from the corridor made the young man look up, his eyes staring calmly at a wooden door shrouded in blood light that separated the house from the outside world.

The ancient and complex blood clan magic circle on the wooden door disappeared. As the door opened, the blood clan youth looked at Toston who came in, and raised a bright but sinister smile on his face: "Uncle Toston, good evening."

After closing the door, Toston looked expressionlessly at the young man who had been pierced through the body by the power of the river of blood but had survived until now.

Otis Payne is the direct descendant of Lucien Payne, the first heir of the Payne clan, and a lucky man blessed by the long river of blood.

He was his nephew...or should have been.

But Toston knew clearly that the young man in front of him was his nephew only in appearance, and his inner self had already been occupied by the strange 'Unknown'.

Lucien noticed something was wrong with him right away - most parents can tell right away whether their son is their son.

As a result, the first heir of the Pain clan died in the attack of werewolves and has been imprisoned here ever since.

"Don't yell." Toston said expressionlessly, "'Unknown', you and I know it very well. Don't you feel ashamed to call me an elder?"

"Why?" Otis said with a smile on his face: "I am your nephew."

"Do you think I will be kind enough to let you go if you call me that?" Toston walked up to Otis, stretched out his hand to pinch his neck, looked at his gradually red face, and smiled: "You are a piece of trash that pollutes our noble bloodline, so you'd better tell me your true identity as soon as possible. I can give you a quick death."

"Noble?" Otis said in a hoarse voice, "How do you think your noble ancestor Lilith died?"

Toston's expression remained unchanged: "The First Ancestor will not tolerate your blasphemy."

"A blood-sucking worm who sits in a well and looks at the world from afar, immersed in the world of self-arrogance..."

puff--

As soon as he finished speaking, Toston stretched out his finger and poked a bloody hole in Otis' chest. Looking at the other party's gradually hideous expression due to the pain, Toston withdrew his finger with satisfaction and gently licked the blood on his fingertips.

"The blood blessed by the long river of blood is really delicious." Toston squinted his eyes and enjoyed it for a while, then looked at Otis and continued: "You are very powerful, but apart from the monsters in the world that may appear at any time and in any place, there is no specific information about you."

"This is very abnormal." Toston squatted down and looked at Otis: "It's okay for the tiny human race, but how many demon kings are there in the world who are older than the blood race? But no one knows any information about you..."

"You used some power to block some of our memories, right?"

Hearing this, Otis narrowed his eyes and said nothing.

Toston reached out and patted his cheek. "Are you surprised? We are so arrogant that we would investigate you... But I still want to emphasize that arrogance does not mean we are stupid. What do you think our arrogance is based on?"
