Chapter 1312 - 527: Seeking the Demon God Staff

Behind him was the fervent loyalty of the countless who had submitted.

[Master, are you planning to...]

The Persuasion System’s voice carried a probing note.

It seemed to have faintly guessed at Zhang Beixing’s intentions.

"Correct."

Zhang Beixing inclined his head slightly and said calmly.

"I intend to seek out that legendary supreme treasure, the Demon God Staff."

"It’s said to be a Divine Artifact that can willfully manipulate time and space."

"If I obtain it, I can roam the heavens and earth unhindered, free and unbound!"

Such bold, heroic words stirred the heart and sent the mind soaring.

"But, my lord, the whereabouts of the Demon God Staff are still a mystery..."

Alina frowned, her tone worried.

"Where will you go to search for it?"

"As the saying goes, sincerity makes miracles happen."

Zhang Beixing smiled faintly, full of quiet confidence.

"As long as I have the resolve, one day it will naturally fall into my hands."

"Besides..."

Here, he deliberately kept them in suspense.

His gaze slid toward the System beside him.

"Don’t I still have the strongest plug‑in?"

"With its assistance, what could possibly be impossible?"

His words were offhand, yet brimming with confidence.

[Host, you jest. How would I dare claim the title of strongest plug‑in?]

The Persuasion System hurried to sound modest, yet its voice grew ever more sincere.

[But for the sake of your goal, I will pour out everything I have and give my all.]

[Walking this path together, you and I have long since become as close as brothers.]

[On the road ahead, I will surely stand by your side!]

"Hahaha, good!"

Zhang Beixing threw back his head and laughed, his heroic spirit soaring to the heavens.

Everyone present was utterly subdued by this overwhelming aura.

This was the true bearing of a king.

"Master, let us set out at once."

Richard cupped his fist, eager for action.

"No one has ever stepped into the Vampires’ territory."

"This journey is sure to be recorded in the annals of history, praised for generations!"

The crowd cheered with excitement, morale surging high.

Zhang Beixing’s lips curved slightly; his will to win was absolute.

The next instant, he leaped into the air.

Angel’s Wing unfurled behind him.

Feathers gleamed, shining brilliantly.

He seemed like a descended god, looking down upon all living things.

"Depart!"

With that single command, countless cavalry surged after him.

Iron hooves thundered, war banners snapped in the wind.

A black tide swept across the earth.

This was the triumph belonging to the Dark Emperor.

And also the prelude to a new campaign.

Vampire territory, Dark Night Castle.

For countless centuries, this had been the sacred ground of the Vampire race.

Ever mysterious and ancient, unknown to outsiders.

Yet at this very moment, this isolated castle welcomed an uninvited guest.

"Pay respects to His Majesty, the Dark Emperor has arrived—!"

A neatly unified shout suddenly rang out beyond the castle.

Tens of thousands of Iron Cavalry dropped to their knees in unison.

At their head stood the high‑spirited Zhang Beixing.

And his most loyal left and right arms, Richard and Alina.

"Beixing, I didn’t expect you to come uninvited."

From atop the castle came a lazy voice.

It held a hint of indifference.

The speaker was none other than the king of the Vampires.

He lounged upon his throne, elegantly playing with a goblet of fresh blood.

The look he cast toward Zhang Beixing was faintly amused.

"What’s this? A mere Human also wants to set foot in my race’s forbidden grounds?"

He arched a brow, his tone contemptuous.

Clearly, he did not take this Dark Emperor seriously in the slightest.

"Naturally."

Zhang Beixing merely let out a cold chuckle, utterly fearless.

He stood with hands clasped behind his back, his bearing extraordinary.

"I’ve come for something of utmost importance."

"Rumor has it the Demon God Staff is hidden deep within your clan’s forbidden land."

"As the Vampire King, surely you wouldn’t be unaware?"

He narrowed his eyes, killing intent flashing.

It was as if he were silently warning the other not to make any rash moves.

"Heh, so that’s what you’re after."

The Vampire King came to a sudden realization, then burst out laughing.

"What a pity, though—rumors are only ever rumors."

"My Vampire race has never seen any so‑called Demon God Staff."

"This trip of yours is likely for nothing."

There was a note of schadenfreude in his words.

Clearly, he meant to provoke Zhang Beixing on purpose.

"Is that so?"

Zhang Beixing remained unmoved, as composed as ever.

"Then by all means, let’s test it. If I can’t find it, I’ll simply pat my ass and leave."

"But if I discover that you’ve lied..."

His tone shifted, and his gaze abruptly sharpened.

The next second, heaven and earth seemed to shatter.

An overwhelming aura exploded above the battlefield.

Everyone felt their hearts seize with terror.

Even the Vampire King couldn’t help but shiver.

This level of pressure was far beyond what ordinary men could withstand.

"I... I’m not lying to you..."

He forced himself to appear calm, but fear was already written across his face.

Terrified of enraging the Evil God standing before him.

"Good."

Zhang Beixing let out a cold smile and reined in the aura around him.

He turned and walked toward the depths of the castle.

"I’m going in to search with my own hands."

"You... what are you going to do?!"

The Vampire King’s expression changed drastically, and he sprang to his feet.

"You... you can’t just walk in like that! That’s a forbidden land!"

"A mere forbidden land dares to bar this king’s path?"

Zhang Beixing snorted coldly, not caring in the least.

"Today, I insist on breaking through this ’invincible under heaven’!"

With that, he strode forward, his steps long and unyielding.

Behind him followed the figures of Alina and Richard.

And the countless Iron Cavalry, surging forth in a mighty, rainbow‑like momentum.

Who could possibly stand against this supreme army of a king?

Vampire forbidden land, in the depths of darkness.

A grand and ancient temple stood silently.

The air all around was suffused with a mysterious aura.

It inspired instinctive reverence.

"This is the place."

Zhang Beixing halted, standing tall as he surveyed everything before him.

His gaze gradually sharpened.

"I can feel an unusual fluctuation."
