Chapter 1407: Blood Poison

Chapter 1407: Chapter 1407: Blood Poison

Upon hearing this news, Delacuri was evidently furious, but Pei Yan couldn’t hear what he was yelling from his phantom, as his mouth opened and closed because the moment he cursed out the first word, his phantom was absorbed and sealed by the Divine Artifact.

"We can go now!" After communicating with the outside world to confirm Delacuri’s soul had been completely sealed, Pei Yan then scanned the space back and forth three times through the artifact’s Mechanical Eye to ensure nothing was overlooked. Only then did he rest assured, breaking the seal and exiting the independent space alongside Young Master Hu Jiu.

"Is it successful? Has Delacuri been completely destroyed?" Actually, seeing Pei Yan emerge, everyone already knew the answer, but Jin He Xuan was still reluctant to accept the demise of two absolute peaks of the Heavenly Dao, especially when one of them was Delacuri, an outstanding figure among them, falling to Pei Yan’s hands. The rise of the Vlad family within the Blood Race and their notorious reputation across various planes, with no one daring to provoke them, was largely due to the leadership of this legendary Patriarch, and yet such a legendary character fell today.

"Yes! Completely eradicated!" Pei Yan responded calmly and indifferently.

With the definite answer, Jin He Xuan and Long Jin exchanged glances, both feeling that the fall of one legend signifies the rise of another legend. Standing atop the corpse mountain and sea of blood of the Vlad family, Pei Yan, with his record of hunting peaks of the Heavenly Dao, would truly become part of the elite forces across various planes from now on. Such rapid ascension can be considered unprecedented and likely without successors. The Ancestral God chose to bind his offspring with a symbiotic contract, providing the Dragon Realm a strong assurance. Even if the Ancestral God might fall into slumber in this future war, with Young Master Hu Jiu and Pei Yan supporting the Dragon Realm, there is no need to worry about the Spirit Monster Plane lacking a Master of Origin, being coveted, invaded, and capturing tribe members tragically.

"Phew! Is he really dead? Does this mean the captain’s revenge has been fulfilled?" Xia Yu heard that the enemy who had long brought her fear and pain was finally eliminated. She felt as if she were in a dream, somewhat excited yet also lost in a trance before coming to her senses and asking, "What about Jiumu? Does his death mean Jiumu is okay now?"

"Theoretically, yes! The Caster himself has completely died, so the Blood Curse he set has lost its effect, but to be safe, Old Ye should do a divination afterward, and I’ll also check Ye Jiumu! I’ve absorbed Delacuri’s bloodline, allowing me to master significant Blood Race techniques, so checking the Blood Curse is not a problem for me." After saying this, Pei Yan pressed his hands against his waist and looked around, asking, "Where is Du Guangyuan?"

"I am here!" Du Guangyuan, who was secretly observing in the corner, saw Pei Yan calling him, and quickly stepped out from the shadows. In the plan to raid Delacuri, he contributed significantly, from creating Blood Poison to modifying the independent space. It was his understanding of the Blood Race that allowed the trap to be perfected, but his current strength is still too low. If dragged into recent battles, any Grand Duke could easily kill him, so he could only do peripheral preparation work.

"Later, we will go rescue your son! I’ve already tracked down his location using Blood Race tracking techniques, but the Vlad family will soon know of Delacuri’s demise. I’m uncertain if they will vent their anger on your son, so be mentally prepared."

"I understand!" Upon hearing Pei Yan’s words, Du Guangyuan appeared quite calm. It wasn’t that he didn’t care about his son’s life or death; he betrayed the Vlad family to preserve his offspring and experience familial joy. Upon learning his son’s safe birth, his first thought was to rescue him immediately from the Vlad family’s torment. But over time, impulse cooled; he knew how hard it is to rescue a child from a long-standing otherworldly family, let alone one as skilled in eerie techniques as the Vlad clan. They could easily plant a restriction within the child; no matter the rescue speed, the slightest thought from them could lead to the child’s death.

Thus rescuing the child would be a miracle, and while Du Guangyuan was willing to try his utmost for it, he wouldn’t pin all hope on it. He had already prepared to accept the tragic outcome and cooperate in rallying Pei Yan to completely erase the Vlad family as a payback for his son.

"Good! It’s best you’ve understood this! Oh, do you have an antidote for the Blood Poison you made?" Upon seeing Delacuri able to understand this, Pei Yan nodded in satisfaction and then asked.

"Antidote?" Du Guangyuan was taken aback to hear, what use is the antidote when Delacuri is dead, then realized and questioned back, "Did someone accidentally get infected with my Blood Poison?"

"Ah! It’s me who got poisoned! Haha, Delacuri is indeed very sinister. When using that scarlet chain to trap me, he intentionally mixed infected blood with blood essence, causing me to absorb his bloodline while simultaneously contracting this Blood Poison," Pei Yan grimaced at the thought of the perilous situations during the battle.

"You got the Blood Poison? Is it serious? Du Guangyuan, why are you still in a daze? The antidote?" Everyone heard Pei Yan was poisoned, immediately surrounded him, querying, with Xia Yu barking at the dazed Du Guangyuan.

"This, this, this Blood Poison has no antidote!" Du Guangyuan was shocked by the inquiry; this thing was tailored to eliminate Delacuri, and given the limited preparation time, creating the poison itself was challenging enough, let alone crafting an antidote.

Given this answer, seeing people around showing eyes that seemed to be able to eat him, he quickly explained, "This Blood Poison specifically targets the Blood Race, characterized by difficulty in being eradicated; once Blood Race techniques are utilized, self-harm intensifies. Delacuri was notoriously cunning; using this Blood Poison was to prevent him from escaping a failed strike. It would continuously inflict damage, preventing recuperation. You say detoxification isn’t impossible; it just takes some time...".

Du Guangyuan was interrupted by Pei Yan, waving his hand, "Alright, I know how to get rid of this Blood Poison, but it takes a lot of time. I wanted to ask if you have any quicker solutions. Since there’s none, it doesn’t matter! I can still suppress the stuff, not urgent." He said and straightened his back, pressed his aching head, and turned to Xia Yu, asking: "Has HQ sent any news about the Blood Fiend? I can’t figure out what these guys are plotting, and how’s Gu Chu doing?"
