Chapter 1414: Chapter 1414: Return Home

After hearing this, Pei Yan and the others were momentarily speechless. Most of the memories inherited from the Delacuri bloodline were Blood Race techniques deserving of inheritance and some key memories. Things that were commonplace to him would surely not be passed on as important information in bloodline inheritance. However, during the previous interrogation of Moira, Pei Yan indeed heard him mention turning Du Guangyuan’s son into a Blood Servant and consuming his blood. But Pei Yan thought this was merely an isolated case, a punishment for certain individuals, until today he discovered this was the norm within the Blood Race.

"Low-level Blood Servants have already escaped this fate. They work as servants for the official members of the Blood Race family, and respond to low-level Cultivator conflicts between families. These people are not even considered Blood Servants; in the eyes of the Blood Race, they are merely a food source," Du Guangyuan paused for a moment before continuing reluctantly, "Even as food, they are the lowest class. The Blood Race members guarding here are not high-level, so their feeding standards are not high either. The targets that high-level Blood Race like Delacuri and Radu consume have very superior living environments to ensure the blood’s pure and lively taste. These are basically ordinary humans who have not been transformed, absorbed once and then released to live freely until they naturally regain vitality, before being extracted from again! Moreover, even those who are drawn from are selected carefully. Consuming such fresh blood is akin to tasting fine wine; people are labeled with tags, and this was something Little Vlad bragged to me about while I was responsible for his reception."

Du Guangyuan explained this process in detail to the people present to ensure they harbored greater resentment towards the Vlad Clan. When the time came to eradicate this clan in the future, they would show no mercy and uproot them entirely. He did this not just for revenge, but also for his son. His own life was ruined when he witnessed Pei Yan’s power; he understood that given the strength of the investigation hall, he could only spend the rest of his life in the Secret Prison. His son was innocent, and for him to live safely, the clan must be eliminated. Although the remnants of the Vlad Clan might not dare take revenge on Pei Yan and others, it was uncertain what they might do to his descendants who were the source of the vendetta.

Pei Yan’s face darkened upon hearing this, and after a pause, he slowly asked, "Can this bloodline imprint within them be removed?"

"Yes! You have now controlled most of Delacuri’s power, and removing it is an easy task. However, I don’t recommend doing it," Du Guangyuan sighed with a bitter smile, "You have seen their physical state. After repeated blood extraction, their bodies are weak, relying on that Blood Race imprint as their source to support their bodies. If you removed the Blood Race imprint now, they might die immediately. You don’t need to care about this imprint; if nobody strengthens the effect of the imprint, it will naturally disappear over time as the source energy is exhausted. However, I think they might not survive until then due to their physical condition. Unless premium nourishing herbs are used and experts in vitality provide treatment, the damage to their bodies cannot be reversed."

After hearing this, Pei Yan said no more and turned to return to the town. He would not kill this group of unfortunate people but had no spare energy to save them. What he needed to do now was thoroughly check these people to ensure no members of the Vlad Clan had disguised themselves to hide among them. On the other hand, he needed to infuse some vitality into the young children, who, despite having greatly reduced lifespans, were the ones most likely to live the longest among the group.

After ensuring nothing was overlooked, he returned to the town entrance and looked at Gu Shenghui, saying, "After we leave, will the people from the Magic Plane handle the situation here?"

"I will inform the Bright Church of the situation here. Among the three major councils, their relationship with the Blood Race is the most hostile. Such incidents fall under their jurisdiction, and after receiving the information, they should send people to deal with it," Gu Shenghui replied.

"Good! Let’s go back then! I have already obtained the location of the Vlad Clan’s stronghold, and I can initiate a bloodline trace on them. To launch a full-scale wipe-out of this clan, support from the Magic Plane is still necessary. I leave the matter of coordination to you, Gu Chu."

"Alright!"

When Pei Yan appeared exhausted in the Teleportation Array’s halo, the investigators breathed a sigh of relief and rushed forward to greet him.

Yu Zhongmin greeted each returning individual warmly, in his usual smooth manner. Facing this new superior, Pei Yan restrained his pride and arrogance, showing ample respect. After exchanging pleasantries, he gently conveyed his poor physical condition and urgency to rest, hoping to recover at the Daoist Plane.

The choice to recover at the Daoist Plane was primarily due to the time difference. The Daoist Plane is synchronized with the Magic Plane. If Pei Yan rested at the headquarters of the foundation plane for a day or two, two months might pass on the Magic Plane. By then, even if Pei Yan pursued the Vlad Clan, having one or two months to prepare would make the process extremely challenging.

As if anticipating this, Yu Zhongmin smiled and said, "No need to go to the Daoist Plane, as it’s cumbersome. Due to frequent warfare with the Blood Race, we set up a Transfer and Dispatch Center to avoid delaying operations. This center works like the training space, synchronized with other planes’ time. You can rest and recover there; we prepared a special room for you in the field."

Upon hearing this, Pei Yan relaxed. Although Yu Zhongmin’s strength was slightly inferior, his logistics were ahead of theirs. As Gu Chu said, such talent fits perfectly in that position. Thinking of this, Pei Yan nodded in thanks and added another inquiry, "Yu Hall, any news about the Blood Race?"

"Uh!" Yu Zhongmin hesitated, seeming to have concerns.

"Is it serious?" Pei Yan, seeing his demeanor, realized his concern and pressed further.

"The problem is rather serious, but it’s irreparable since it’s already happened. Being anxious won’t help. Fortunately, our hall suffered no loss. As for what happened, I’ll hold a meeting to explain once your recovery ends. Pei Yan, go rest now! When you returned to headquarters the first time, Advisor Lin secretly checked your physical condition. She reminded me to urge you to recover immediately after the task ends. Although your self-healing ability is extraordinary, it cannot withstand the wound’s burden. If it’s not cleared, it might leave hidden injuries," Yu Zhongmin urged according to Lin Junzhao’s advice.
