Are you kidding me?! The boss of the Hell Dungeon is a loli!

Viktor gritted his teeth.

In the end, he lowered his head.

"I've seen atavistic individuals."

Jiang Luo was satisfied.

(✪ω✪)

The rules here are quite effective.

Kalman never stopped it.

He needed to ascertain Jiang Luo's character and strength.

Now it seems...

This little girl of unknown origin not only has extremely pure blood, but also has a personality completely different from Dracula's.

She wasn't afraid of the ninth branch at all.

They didn't even respect anyone.

"The Blood Moon Feast will begin in an hour, and you can attend representing the Ninth Branch. But after the feast, I need to know the full details of Dracula's death."

Jiang Luo casually agreed, "Sure."

One hour later.

She may have already identified the source of the pollution.

It's hard to say whether these vampires will still be in the mood to ask Dracula at that point.

Kalman turned to leave.

He suddenly stopped when he reached the door.

"There's one more thing. At the Blood Moon Banquet, the Ancestor will select new blood descendants from the thirteen branches. Your bloodline is the purest, so you are very likely to be chosen by the Ancestor."

Jiang Luo tilted her head.

"What happens after you select it?"

"You will receive the blood of the progenitor, be directly promoted to duke, and even have the opportunity to become the new head of a branch."

Jiang Luo's eyes lit up slightly.

The blood of the progenitor?

That sounds like it's worth a lot of money.

It wouldn't be bad to take it back and let Elizabeth study it.

Kalman, oblivious to her thoughts, simply warned in a low voice, "During the Blood Moon Banquet, all thirteen branches will be watching you. Do not leave your seat without permission, and do not approach the entrance to the Blood Sea."

Done.

He led the other vampires away from the side hall.

Wait until the footsteps completely disappeared.

Lin Xiaocai raised her pale eyes.

She looked down at the ground.

Several extremely fine black lines were slowly crawling along the cracks in the temple bricks.

Those patterns were hidden beneath the aura of the vampires.

If she hadn't been corrupted and hadn't had her core rules invaded, she wouldn't have been able to detect it at all.

"The contamination has entered the Bloodline Temple."

The ease on Han Ya's face vanished.

"How large is the area?"

Lin Xiao gripped the pen, seething with resentment.

"Not this temple."

She looked up at the towering, blood-red spire outside the window.

"It exists throughout the entire underground of the Holy Land."

Jiang Luo followed her gaze.

The button eyes of the tattered bear in his arms started moving again.

The contaminated cleavage organisms appeared unusually excited.

It's as if it's responding to some kind of call.

Jiang Luo licked the lollipop in his mouth.

"It seems that tonight's banquet will be even more lively than Lolo expected."

Just then.

Suddenly, a long, drawn-out bell rang out outside the temple.

thump—

thump—

thump—

All the vampires stopped moving at the same time.

A beam of blood-red light shot into the sky from the central spire in the distance.

A giant drop of blood slowly fell from the blood moon and merged into the city below the spire.

The vampires all knelt down.

His face was full of fervor.

"The progenitor is about to awaken."

"The Blood Moon Banquet begins ahead of schedule!"

Jiang Luo stared at the streak of blood.

His large, ruby-like eyes slowly narrowed.

In the eyes of ordinary vampires.

That was a drop of pure, primordial blood.

But in Jiang Luo's eyes...

The deepest part of the blood droplet.

Countless black worms were wriggling wildly.

……

The bell tolled.

The entire Vampire Sanctuary seemed to come alive suddenly.

Blood lamps lit up one after another on both sides of the street, and dark red flames spread along the eaves, eventually converging on the central spire.

Countless vampires dressed in formal attire emerged from the manor and temple, marching along the main street toward the spire.

Jiang Luo was also taken out of the Bloodline Temple by the people of the Ninth Branch.

Kalman walked at the front, followed by Victor and several young vampires. Jiang Luo strolled slowly in the middle, carrying a tattered bear, while Han Ya and Lin Xiao lagged half a step behind, as were their blood slave status.

Along the way, many vampires were eyeing Jiang Luo.

The news of the reversion to ancestral bloodlines has clearly spread.

"That's the new atavism of the ninth branch?"

"They're really lucky that they were able to produce this bloodline after Dracula died."

"She looks too young. Can she really withstand the blood bestowed by the progenitor?"

The discussion wasn't very loud.

But everything present was eerie, and everyone could hear it clearly.

Viktor's expression grew increasingly grim.

The Ninth Branch was already close to falling out of the Thirteenth Branch, but now that Jiang Luo has appeared, everyone's attention is focused on her.

On the contrary, he, a direct descendant of Dracula, became nothing more than a supporting character.

Jiang Luo, however, thoroughly enjoyed it.

She shook her little head and whispered to the crow, "These vampires have pretty good eyesight; they recognized at a glance that Lolo is the most powerful."

The crow lowered its voice: "They just think your bloodline is pure."

"Isn't having a pure bloodline the same as being powerful?"

"Yes, you're right."

The crow decisively gave up trying to explain.

In front of the central spire is a huge circular plaza.

The plaza floor is paved with blood-red crystals, and thirteen dark red carpets extend from different directions, each corresponding to one of the thirteen branches.

A black platform floats at the very front.

Below the high platform.

Blood flowed upwards from the ground like a waterfall, converging in mid-air to form a giant blood sphere tens of meters in diameter.

Each time a blood cell beats...

The hearts of every vampire present trembled.

"That's a projection of the Blood Sea," the raven explained in a low voice. "The real Blood Sea is located beneath the Holy Domain, and this blood sphere is connected to the origin of the vampire progenitor."

Jiang Luo looked at it for a few seconds.

The surface of the blood cells appears perfectly clean.

Its interior is filled with extremely fine black blood vessels.

Those blood vessels contracted and expanded with the beating of blood cells, gradually spreading the pollution throughout the entire sacred area.

No wonder the ordinary vampires didn't notice.

Pollution has donned the cloak of a bloodbath.

For vampires.

Blood sea is their origin.

Who would suspect there's something wrong with their blood?

The ninth branch is not located very far forward.

After leading everyone to their seats, Kalman turned to Jiang Luo and said, "Don't wander around after the banquet begins. The Ancestral Blood Offering is the most sacred ritual of the vampires. No matter what happens, you must not interrupt the Blood Sea."

Jiang Luo casually agreed, "I know, Luo Luo isn't here to cause trouble."

The crow silently lowered its head.

Coming from Jiang Luo's mouth, these words really don't seem very credible.

All thirteen branches quickly arrived.

At the closest point to the high platform sat thirteen powerful vampire dukes.

Three of them possessed an aura approaching the peak of SS level.

The young vampires behind them were all arrogant, and their eyes were filled with disdain when they looked at the other branches.

Jiang Luo glanced around.

Suddenly I realized that Shura was right.

These vampires really do look down on people.

Even among members of the same clan, they practically wear "Your blood is not as pure as mine" on their faces.

On the high platform.

An elderly vampire dressed in a white robe slowly appeared.

His skin was almost transparent, and the blood flowing through his body was clearly visible.

The old man raised his hand.

The sounds in the square vanished instantly.

"The Blood Moon has descended once more, and the progenitor is about to end his century-long slumber. Tonight, the thirteen branches will once again receive the progenitor's blood, and the vampire race will once again usher in its most prosperous era."

His voice wasn't loud.

Yet it was clearly transmitted to the ears of every vampire.

The vampires in the square all bowed their heads.

His expression was one of fervor.

"Welcome back to the Awakening Ancestor!"
