Chapter 1264: Chapter 1264: Just for That Remark, I Have to Punish You! (Part 1)
The Blood Clan, as an exceptionally unusual race, has always been eerie and mysterious.
The Duke of the Blood Clan, as the person with the purest bloodline, holds absolute leadership within the clan.
The succession from the old to the new Duke requires the old Duke to transfer all blood to the new one.
Just now, Ye Haochuan did the same. However, the difference is, in the Blood Clan’s inheritance, the old Duke must actively suppress the domineering Bloodline Power in their own blood, preventing the new Duke’s body from exploding and dying.
So, when Ye Haochuan did this, no one in the Blood Clan believed Sophia could inherit the Duke’s bloodline. With Ye Haochuan’s assistance, surviving was seen as a considerable feat.
But now, the situation is that Sophia has genuinely inherited the Duke’s bloodline.
Strangely, her complexion doesn’t resemble the pallor typical of the Blood Clan, but rather is as rosy as a normal person. Even her fangs appear less intimidating.
All of this is beyond their understanding.
"Ye, what’s wrong?"
Sophia’s attention was not caught by the people kneeling on the ground, but rather she was immediately concerned about Ye Haochuan beside her.
"The fight just now consumed a lot, and I spent a lot of blood and Spiritual Energy to save you, so my body is very weak. But don’t worry, she won’t die!" Feng Meiyi seemed to have more to say.
Perhaps she realized, after Ye Haochuan collapsed, she was the strongest in the team. If she remained silent, others might panic.
Hearing this, Sophia was touched and finally eased her worries.
"Eh, why are these people kneeling?" Sophia then noticed the unusual scene around her.
"Because of you; you are their new Duke!" Yue Deng timely explained.
As a Tracker Tiger, he needed vast knowledge, so he was familiar with major Evil Sects. Naturally, he knew the traits of the Blood Clan.
Actually, Yue Deng was still a bit incredulous about Sophia’s result, but he had to believe it, as it was evidently the truth.
After speaking, he also explained to Sophia what had just happened.
"But, I’m not even at the Foundation Establishment Stage! Among them, I can’t even discern others’ Cultivation; if I become a Duke, will they accept it?" Sophia was astonished.
"In the Blood Clan, the most prestigious is not the Cultivation, but the bloodline. No matter if you have Cultivation, as long as you have the Duke’s bloodline, you are the Duke!"
Yue Deng smirked, "Moreover, if you wish, you can completely drain these Nascent Soul Stage Blood Clan members’ blood to greatly enhance your Cultivation."
Upon hearing the word "drain," Sophia felt a wave of nausea, and asked, "If I drain their blood, won’t they resist?"
"Of course not, and they wouldn’t dare! Because the bloodline within them is a branch of the bloodline within you, you entirely have the authority to determine their life or death. In other words, they are merely your humble servants!"
Upon hearing this, the Blood Clan members’ already colorless faces turned an unhealthy flush with fear.
"Your Grace, we are your most obedient servants, willing to do anything for you. Please do not take back the noble bloodline within us!" a Nascent Soul Early Stage Blood Clan cultivator said respectfully.
Hearing this, Sophia believed Yue Deng’s words somewhat. The Blood Clan appeared to be an extremely power-centralized brutal tribe, with the new Duke inheriting all of the old Duke’s subordinates.
"What is your name?" Sophia seemed to be stepping into her role as Duke.
"I am your servant, Allen, and this is Mars." The Nascent Soul Cultivator respectfully introduced himself and another Nascent Soul Cultivator.
There were initially four or five Nascent Soul Early Stage members, but now only two were left.
Sophia did not feel regret; instead, there was a tinge of excitement in her heart.
The Nascent Soul Realm had always been an existence she couldn’t look up to. Now, two powerful beings were kneeling at her feet, what an authority and power.
"Alright, you will follow me and be under Ye’s command from now on!" Sophia laughed.
...
After some time, Ye Haochuan slowly opened his eyes.
The Dantian was utterly empty, and the body was weakened and powerless. This feeling drove one crazy.
However, upon seeing the healthy complexion of Sophia sitting by his bedside, all the discomforts were forgotten.
"Ye, you’re finally awake!" Sophia, seeing Ye Haochuan open his eyes, immediately threw herself into his arms.
"You’re so silly, risking so much to save me. If something happened to you, how would I live?"
Ye Haochuan gave a slight smile and said, "I’m not that fragile, a little blood, it’s nothing..."
Before he finished, Sophia’s passionate kiss landed on his lips.
Ye Haochuan felt the very limited blood in his body quickly flowing downward.
Alarmed, Ye Haochuan quickly pushed Sophia away with his remaining strength, saying, "Let’s talk about life and dreams, I don’t want all my Essential Blood to be drained by you!"
Sophia couldn’t help but blush and giggle, "I didn’t expect you to be afraid sometimes."
Alright, for that statement, this young master has to punish you!
Ye Haochuan, with rising anger, was about to take action, but was stopped by Sophia who said, "Okay, no more joking.
"What is the current situation of the battle?"
Ye Haochuan hadn’t forgotten about the war between Xuanmen and the Evil Sect.
Yue Deng shook his head and said, "There doesn’t seem to be much breakthrough. Xuanmen’s second team is still stalemated with the Evil Sect at The Pentagon, and there doesn’t seem to be significant progress in the White Court Origin Realm either."
This was what Ye Haochuan had anticipated. However, the Evil Sect clearly came prepared, while Xuanmen responded hastily. Maintaining an undefeated stance was already commendable.
However, if the situation continued to drag on, it might be disadvantageous for Xuanmen.
Ye Haochuan pondered for a moment, suddenly recalling an unresolved question.
"Help me find Allen, I have something to ask him!"
