"My first question, sir. I want to know exactly what this holy blood you speak of is, and what is its use?" Zhou Yi asked the Vampire in his hand amiably.
Upon hearing this question, a bitter expression immediately appeared on the Vampire's face.
This was truly not a question he could answer casually.
Seeing the hesitation in his expression, Zhou Yi slightly increased his strength.
This bit of strength, when applied to the Vampire, resulted in all the bones in his arm being crushed to powder.
The immense pain caused his entire face to turn the color of a pig's liver in an instant, but he was very smart, enduring it strongly from beginning to end, not even letting out a single cry.
He knew what kind of unreasonable existence he was facing, and for the sake of his life, he endured to the limit.
"You are not the only one I can interrogate, sir.
For the sake of your life, I suggest you answer me honestly.
Even if it's a secret that will lead to death if spoken, it's still much better than dying immediately by my hand, isn't it?"
Faced with power, those who can resist regardless of consequences are ultimately a minority.
Most people still cherish their lives.
The Vampire was the same; when Zhou Yi spoke those words, the Vampire's leader desperately nodded his head.
He knew that to survive, he had to exchange secrets, and whether or not to do so, he had clearly already made his decision.
"Antonidas, you cannot tell our secrets to an outsider!"
Watching the Vampire nod, another Vampire immediately roared at him.
He was the leader's Deputy, and also a supervisor to some extent, monitoring whether he was harming the interests of the Dark Council, and now, he was clearly fulfilling his duty.
Zhou Yi admired such dutiful people, so he let him finish speaking.
And after he finished these meaningless words, a ball of Fire immediately erupted from under his feet.
The incandescent flames not only engulfed him, but also instantly turned several guys next to him into ashes.
The reinforced concrete of the ground was almost burned into dark red magma.
This terrifying power immediately caused everyone present to silently distance themselves, then began to look at Zhou Yi with fearful eyes.
In their eyes, the danger Rank of this guy who suddenly appeared had clearly increased by more than one level.
No one wanted to joke with their own lives, and these people were no exception.
The first person to step forward had died so miserably, so how could a second person be willing to step forward?
"Now. No one is stopping you from speaking.
You can answer my question, Mr. Antonidas!"
Swallowing the saliva in his mouth caused by fear and pain, Antonidas began to honestly answer Zhou Yi's question.
"The holy blood you mentioned is the earliest holy relic passed down in our clan.
It is said that in the mythical era, My Lord queen of the red sea Lilith, during her struggle with Jehovah, severely wounded God and forced him to leave behind his divine blood.
After the queen was Seal-ed, she cursed this holy blood, turning it into our clan's holy relic.
It is said that anyone who drinks this blood will gain a new life and power like a god.
But how exactly, I don't know.
This is just a legend, My Lord.
I only know this much."
"A new life? The power of a god?"
Finding the information he wanted, Zhou Yi's brows furrowed deeper and deeper.
He had always disliked such mythical legends.
Because whether true or false, as long as it had something to do with mythology, it would always become ambiguous, or even a complete mystery.
To explore the truth of myths, nine out of ten times relied on guessing.
And how many truths could guessing reveal?
Zhou Yi, not satisfied with the answer he received, once again turned his gaze to Antonidas.
"If even you yourselves don't know what this so-called holy blood is for, why do you go to so much trouble to find it?
Don't tell me you just want to find some antiques to witness your true history."
Antonidas replied with a mournful face.
"I am just a small person; the orders from the upper echelons of the Dark Council were only to find the holy blood.
What its real use is, what they want to do, I don't know at all, My Lord.
I truly only know this much.
Please, let me go."
"Rest assured, I am not a bad person." Zhou Yi showed a gentle smile.
"Since I promised you I would let you go, I will definitely let you go.
I have never broken my word; you can trust my character."
"Of course, My Lord, I definitely believe your words." Antonidas smiled through his tears, but quickly nodded in agreement.
His life was in Zhou Yi's hand, so how could he dare to say anything disbelieving?
"Very good!" Releasing his hand and putting down the unlucky Vampire, Zhou Yi revealed a smile that was like a demon's to him.
"Help me deliver a message to your Dark Council; tell them that I want that holy blood or whatever it is.
If they have any objections, tell the people in your Dark Council who can speak to come and talk to me.
Don't worry, I don't like to use force, so you don't have to worry about his safety.
Just tell them to come."
He doesn't like to use force, so how did this pile of dead people get here?
Both the Vampires and the Werewolves thought this inwardly when they heard these words.
However, not a single one of them dared to say it out loud.
Ultimately, this World is still a World where power reigns supreme.
And as a group of outliers, they clearly agreed with this Law much more than humans.
As long as you have power, whatever you say is right.
The weak can only listen to the words of the strong.
They thought this way, and they acted this way.
Seeing this group of outliers so obedient, Zhou Yi was somewhat surprised, but more than that, he was satisfied.
Compared to their counterparts on the other side, they were clearly much calmer and much smarter.
Since that was the case, Zhou Yi didn't mind giving them a way out.
He ignored these outliers who looked at him trembling like quails.
Instead, he walked directly to Selina's side, bent down, and said to her.
"If you can walk, I suggest you stand up yourself.
Then follow behind me!"
This was protection; Selina clearly understood Zhou Yi's meaning.
She saw very clearly that this strong person who had suddenly intervened was obviously also someone interested in the holy blood.
Not many people knew how great the value of the holy blood was.
But since so many people were fighting over it, it meant that it at least had a value worth fighting for.
So in an instant, she also made a big gamble in her heart.
She looked at Zhou Yi.
A determined expression appeared on her pale, moon-like face.
"I might know the whereabouts of that thing, but you have to promise me one thing before I tell you its whereabouts."
This woman actually still had a secret?
Almost everyone had this thought in their minds.
Zhou Yi was no exception; he looked at this stubborn woman with interest, then after a long while, he grinned.
"Tell me, if I can do it.
Perhaps we can make this deal!"
Getting the answer he wanted.
Selina immediately wanted to open her mouth and ask Zhou Yi to kill all the Werewolves and Vampires present, thereby preserving the remaining Victor Family members.
But soon she realized something else.
The Victor Family was the target of extermination ordered by the Dark Council, the rulers of their kind of alien race.
Even if these people were killed, they would still suffer the same fate in the future.
Unless the Dark Council ordered a pardon, they would never have peace.
But could this person influence the Dark Council, Selina doubted.
At the same time, she also knew that her information was probably not worth a strong person falling out with a behemoth like the Dark Council.
What people fear most is actually not being able to see their own value.
Once this point is clear, many problems can actually be easily solved.
"I hope you can protect my clansmen.
Let them live."
Selina made a reasonable request, and this request happened to be within Zhou Yi's acceptable limits.
A secret for the lives of dozens of Vampires.
To some extent, this deal was fair.
"Alright! But it must be according to my ideas." Zhou Yi nodded, turning his gaze to the Vampires from before.
Clearly, he wanted to put these problems into the hands of the original perpetrators.
"My Lord, you think too highly of us." Antonidas, supporting his arm which was as good as waste, said with his head lowered.
"We are just enforcers under the Dark Council; we have no right to veto the Dark Council's decisions.
Once discovered, we would probably even be executed by the Dark Council."
"Then tell him, the thing is in my hands.
If these people don't die, perhaps we still have a chance to talk.
If they die, then let your Dark Council go find this secret below.
You know which 'below' I'm referring to.
Honestly, if it comes to this point, I don't mind sending you all on your way!" Zhou Yi casually came up with a completely unreliable reason and handed it to Antonidas.
Upon hearing this, the bitterness on Antonidas's face deepened.
"My Lord, you are asking us to gamble with our lives."
"I have high hopes for you.
In short, don't disappoint me." Zhou Yi waved his hand, walking out as if joking.
Was this a joke?
Of course not.
He had only made a small decision, linking the lives of these Vampires, who were originally destined to die, with the lives of the Dark Council's leaders they spoke of.
Of course, it might also be linked to the lives of the people currently in front of him.
He didn't know if others believed it, but he was prepared to do it.
And by doing so, no matter the outcome, he would have an explanation.
Selina understood Zhou Yi's meaning, although she wasn't very satisfied.
But at the moment, only this person's method could save their lives.
She bit her lip, stood up, and followed behind Zhou Yi.
The Vampires and Werewolves along the way all cleared a Dao, allowing her to follow unimpeded.
At this moment, they dared not make any criticisms, because their lives were in someone else's hands.
It wasn't until they disappeared from sight that Antonidas and Lucian looked at each other with bitter smiles.
"What should we do?" Lucian asked.
"Don't move them yet; I need to contact the Dark Council.
See what they say!"
Antonidas said helplessly.
However, he didn't hold much hope.
Both the Dark Council and Zhou Yi were giants capable of crushing him.
He was caught between these two, like a grasshopper in a mantis's grip.
Could they still survive?
This was the sorrow of small people.
Their fate was actually in the hands of others.
