Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Yes, but they are only a small section of them here. It's rotated on the beast emperor every ten years, the one responsible now should be those of the neko clan.

If the General agrees, you will probably need their permission, too.

Although I doubt you will get it.

I have heard many ask for it, even our patriarch, but they are always rejected."

Alex let out a chuckle, "That is because their motive is greed; I have a different reason."

"What reason?"

Alex looked around the room then frowned, "Do you have a way to contact the General? Not meeting, just talking like sending a message."

"I can send it from my terminal, but it will cost me contribution points, and I risk punishment.

So I need to know what you want to talk about."

"In that case, let's talk later. I hate when someone eavesdrops without permission."

Ming Yue wasn't surprised to hear this, and so does Ying Xue.

"…"

His words made Ying Xue speechless.

"Don't worry, I am not blaming you, but at someone who is listening now.

I wonder, Elder Xue, what you think about this. Didn't you say you were reporting to the patriarch?"

"Boy, you sure have guts."

Ming Yue's qi churned, prepared to fight. They were now deep in their base.

There were also Luca and Emily outside, who could be taken hostage.

But Alex didn't feel worried about this. He believed his mother's ability was more than enough to avoid any danger or at least escape.

And he didn't let them out alone…

"Guts? Spying on your sect guest is very impolite, don't you think?"

Alex asked this on purpose; in reality, he knew it was a very common thing to be done.

Even in his world before awakening, when doing business, many competitors often did this, using it to gain more information or even weaknesses of their competitors.

Heck, he had heard they sent out women to sleep with them, create illegal videos, and use them as blackmail. Stay tuned to empire

Some even went as far as having affairs, capturing the target's heart, then turning their life upside down.

This was how cruel the world was.

Those mentally vulnerable would be eaten to death, just like in this world.

Huge pressure spread out in the room, but Alex didn't flinch. He spread out his own qi, clashing against the elders.

"Oh… Interesting."

Thankfully, before the situation could escalate, a machine-like sound reverberated in the air.

"C-class invasion detected, prepare for defense, and follow the protocol."

"You are lucky, boy, but don't think I will let this go."

Feeling the elder's presence disappear, Alex asked, "Did you get the mission?"

"Ah, yeah, sec, let me check."

Ying Xue was caught off guard by the situation. She thought the elder was spying on Alex because of the patriarch's order.

But now she doubted whether the elder even told his arrival to the patriarch or not.

She activated the badge, then shook her head.

"No, I didn't get any order."

Even though her power level had dropped drastically, Alex thought she could still get a mission to help as support.

"Then the elder probably got it. Can you tell me some information about him?

He even had the audacity to seal this place."

"He did!?"

"So, you are not with him."

"Of course, I am not! I talked about you with the patriarch, and I never knew anything about that elder's plans.

Honestly, I thought my clan would want to make a connection to the outside world through you.

They are also curious about the army you control."

"Well, not like this can block us."

Alex's fingers danced in the air, creating a rune, which he then flicked into the air.

The rune exploded, destroying all formations in the space.

He could have just destroyed the surveillance, but Alex chose this on purpose to annoy the elder.

Having to fix all these formations would cost the elder some resources unless he was the one who created them.

But Alex doubted this was the case; if so, he would have felt the elder's qi coming from the formation. There were other possibilities, but he doubted it was the case.

After the formation was destroyed, Alex told her to send information to the General.

Alex felt there should be a method like this, maybe through the terminal that everyone had in this region.

And he was right.

Ying Xue's eyes widened while typing the message.

She thought the coalition and what happened outside were nothing more than conflicts of interest between human clans, but it seemed things were even more complicated.

With the beastmen involved, there was no way their goal was just to take over control of the clan.

Despite the beastmen only joining one clan at a time, she knew they were not to be underestimated. Their innate strength was something that could not be underestimated.

Their potency was just something else that even awakened cultivators could not compare to.

For example, if an awakened cultivator could pour out 100% of their bloodline power, then a beastman could exert up to 1000%. Ten times more effective and powerful.

"Silver snake clan, I hate them."

"You know about this clan?"

"Yes, in the past, I had a mission with them. With their fast speed, they could easily move through the battlefield.

These snakes just kept killing all my targets, making me barely earn contribution points."

This made Alex's lips twitch.

'Isn't this real-world kill-stealing? It's just like those trolls in MOBA games.'

Even with VR, people's culture didn't change; kill-stealing still existed, and so did toxic players.

If anything, this action became worse since, with the immersion, the satisfaction grew.

This separated the game into two types: Devs that allowed this kind of behavior, and those that were really strict on it.

"Is that all? Did you notice something else about them?

Like, do they have a hobby of torturing their enemies?"

"Their fighting style is moving quickly, using poison, then going for the kill.

Their movement is quick and fast."

This was different from what Alex had learned about the silver snake clan, but now he was even more sure of his theory that they were using life force.
