The Empress has abandoned me? I'll support a new emperor and destroy your kingdom!

He lay down and closed his eyes.

The sounds of soldiers clearing the battlefield could be heard outside the tent.

In today's battle, the vampire defenders suffered more than 300 casualties.

The demon soldiers left behind more than two thousand corpses.

Su Che opened his eyes in the darkness.

He remembered the three undead cultivators imprisoned in the dungeon.

Bone coldness, bone damage, bone fracture.

Su Che spared their lives not just for the sake of Mingyuan's physical body.

Once he returns to the Prince's residence, he needs to have a serious talk with those three people.

The Undead's soul-swapping technique, combined with the blood and qi power of the Blood Demon God's bloodline, plus the remnants of the Emperor Realm soul from the Nether Abyss.

Combining these three things, along with some rare and precious materials he had collected among the human race, might truly give Mingyuan a new body.

Su Che turned over and buried his face in the pillow.

......

Meanwhile, at the Vampire Royal Palace.

Xue Li stood by the study window, his face grim.

There was a small porcelain bottle on the table.

Blood Demon Powder.

Bloodblade's message from the North: The young clan leader is alive. Not only is he alive, but he has also won a battle in the North.

Bloodthirsty fingers gripped the window frame tightly.

Blood-toxin tea is ineffective.

I haven't had a chance to use the Blood Fiend Powder yet.

The plan to send him to the North to use someone else to do the dirty work also failed.

"That bastard..." Xue Li gritted his teeth under his breath, "What is he hiding?"

He turned and walked to the desk, picked up the porcelain vase and looked at it for a long time.

Then he put down the porcelain bottle and took out a yellowed piece of paper from the drawer.

A diagram of a battle formation was drawn on the paper.

The formation was extremely complex, with five characters marked at the center.

The Soul-Locking Array.

Xue Li's fingers moved slowly across the array diagram.

"Since poison can't kill you..." His voice was low and cold, "then let's try another method."

The night wind blew in through the window, causing the candlelight to flicker.

The shadow of Xue Li flickered on the wall, like a lurking snake.

......

Su Che stood outside the tent, looking towards the distant northern wilderness forest.

The fire had been mostly extinguished, with only a few embers flickering in the darkness, like dying fireflies.

The daytime fighting left the troops exhausted.

The soldiers took turns on duty, and most of them slept wrapped in blankets.

A spirit lamp was hung every ten zhang on the camp wall, its light dim and unable to illuminate very far.

Su Che's injuries have mostly healed.

Yun Jin's Nanming Li Huo Sheng, combined with the restorative power of the Blood Demon God's bloodline.

The ribs were set, and the left arm can move again.

However, there is still some swelling and pain in the meridians, which is a sequela of excessive consumption of qi and blood due to blood rage and violence.

He stood in front of the tent for a while, his mind racing.

The daytime battle provided him with a lot of information.

First, the demon soldiers were indeed controlled by the ghost race.

Those empty eyes and fearless behavior are all traces of soul manipulation.

Although the Dark Eye Technique is no longer available, specific details cannot be confirmed.

However, the Blood Demon God's bloodline's perception of the soul level confirms this judgment.

Second, the scale of the demon race's attack far exceeded expectations.

With over ten thousand demon soldiers and a demon general at the late Void Breaking stage, this was no longer a test.

If it weren't for Yun Jin's Southern Bright Fire, which burned the dense forest and cut off the demon soldiers' retreat, the Northern Army camp would most likely not have been able to hold out.

Third, and most importantly.

The demon general's behavior pattern is problematic.

Su Che recalled his battle with the demon general during the day.

After emerging from the dense forest, the tiger-headed, human-bodied demon general's first reaction was not to attack the nearest vampire soldier, but to charge directly at him.

In the eyes of a demon general in the late stage of the Void Breaking Realm, a cultivator in the early stage of the Returning Origin Realm is probably no different from an ant.

Why did it leave hundreds of vampire soldiers alone and specifically come looking for him?

Is it simply because he is the young clan leader?

......

"The Abyss."

"Um."

"Why do you think that demon general specifically targeted me during the day?"

Mingyuan remained silent behind the seal for a moment.

"You have the aura of the Blood God of Fiends on you."

This aura has a natural deterrent effect on high-level demons.

Normally, monsters should stay away from you.

But the demon general charged at you instead, indicating that it wasn't acting on instinct.

"I was being directed."

"Yes. And the person in charge knows your location."

Su Che's gaze fell in the direction of the military camp.

Among the five hundred Jingwei, there was one named Xuefeng.

"What are you planning to do?"

"Let's go out and take another look tonight."

Mingyuan was stunned for a moment.

"You're going out to scout in the middle of the night? Your perception range is only a hundred feet. What if you run into a demon king at the Void Breaking Realm or higher..."

"So I'm not going to scout," Sucher said. "I'm going fishing."

"fishing?"

"Xue Feng has been observing me. He'll definitely know if I leave the camp. If he sends a message to Xue Li, and Xue Li then passes it on to the Ghost Clan, the Ghost Clan will control the Demon General to kill me."

"So what are you going out for tonight?"

"Of course, it's because I'm familiar with the Bloodline of the Fiend God." Su Che's voice was calm.

"I awakened Bloodrage during the day, but I couldn't sustain it for more than a few minutes. My control was too poor, and my efficiency was too low. I need more battles to refine my skills."

Just kidding.

After much difficulty, I finally discovered that my second bloodline was similar to the Berserker class in DNF (Dungeon Fighter Online) from my previous life.

They sacrifice their own defense and health in pursuit of maximum offensive capabilities.

It would be a disservice to this capability if we didn't develop it properly!

Bloodrage is the counterpart to Bloodrage.

What about a major collapse, or even an awakening skill?
