Chapter 576: The Strong Man, The Warrior Who Despises Everything
Kathleen offered a faint smile, gazing out at the scenery beyond the car window, lost in thought about something.
Today, Lante's castle was unquestionably the liveliest it had been.
On the large lawn ahead, around a hundred tables and chairs had already been arranged.
Yet, not many people moved about under the blazing sun.
Those tables and chairs were set up for the low-rank vampires within the Blood Clan.
They would only come over at night.
During the day, it was time for the High-Rank vampires, those of Earl strength and above, to have fun.
And Lante's wedding was to proceed from day until night.
Moreover, there was a ritual within the Blood Clan that took place at midnight.
The groom would transform his human wife into a member of the Blood Clan in front of their people.
If she couldn't endure the pain, the human wife would die.
Today, they were all here to witness Prince Lante and the Princess Consort's wedding.
They were also there to witness the transformation of the Princess Consort from human to Blood Clan.
Since it wasn't time yet, Xia Liu could only wait outside the castle.
Kathleen, being a bridesmaid and makeup artist, had entered the castle, having understood her role the day before.
Her entry reassured Xia Liu; with her Marquis level cultivation, even if her identity was exposed,
she would surely be able to resist for some time.
By then, Xia Liu would rush in at extreme speed to ensure her immediate safety.
Fortunately, everything remained very calm.
As a member of the Blood Clan, Kathleen would certainly not be exposed as long as she was careful.
Around four in the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened.
Massive amounts of Blood Energy surged from all directions.
Subsequently, large swathes of afterimages entered the castle grounds.
Xia Liu sensed such a tremendous presence arriving and got himself organised before stepping out of the car.
A cherry-red glint flickered in his eyes; upon closer inspection, one could see various exotic colors flowing within.
Waves of Evil Qi emanated from Xia Liu's body.
The Blood Clan people who initially wanted to approach him all halted their steps.
For them, his aura was like the most refined blood of the Imperial Family,
one that could suppress local lords just by his presence.
Unfortunately, the aura that overflowed from Xia Liu was Evil Qi!
It was several times nobler than Blood Energy.
Of course, he did not want this Evil Qi.
To extract this demonic Divine Sense that leaked out as Evil Qi, he had been troubled for a very long time.
If it weren't for maintaining his disguise, Xia Liu would definitely not risk opening a corner of the sealing to release the Divine Sense.
Hu hu hu hu…
Just at this moment, suddenly a shrill noise came from the ocean.
The people outside the castle turned their eyes to look.
They saw a speedboat charging at high speed.
About a hundred meters from the shore, the individual on the speedboat leaped up!
"Water Stepping! This must be one of the Dukes of the Blood Clan!" Xia Liu secretly speculated as he saw the figure swiftly moving forward with rapid footsteps on the water surface.
"Look there! It's Prince Ian, Prince Lante's brother!"
"It's Ian!"
"The great Prince Ian has arrived!"
"Ha-ha, at Prince Lante's wedding, how could Prince Ian possibly not come?"
Upon recognizing the newcomer, the powerful Blood Clan members at the event began to shout and roar excitedly.
"The brother of Lante already possesses the cultivation of a Duke Mid-Stage, so it's very likely that Lante might have the cultivation of a Duke Peak!"
Thinking of this, Xia Liu became somber.
Duke Peak is equivalent to a Heavenly Rank Peak Warrior.
Such level of warrior is a true giant in any territory.
Powerful enough to be the founder of a sect.
As Prince Ian stepped onto land,
instantly, a massive surge of Blood Energy poured out from within him.
The surroundings immediately suffered a torrential oppression.
Unable to withstand such Blood Energy, the vampires knelt to the ground one after another.
They too were not experiencing this for the first time with Ian.
Proud and arrogant, his entrance had always been like this, making all his kin bow and kneel before him.
Given his status and position, his actions were not entirely unfounded.
But to force vampires to kneel with his Blood Energy was somewhat presumptuous.
At this time, there was one exception in front of the castle!
Hundreds of vampires knelt on the ground, only one figure stood, gazing at Ian from afar.
Ian also noticed this figure, and immediately intensified his Blood Energy, wanting to crush the opponent in one fell swoop.
But the next scene made him frown tightly, for the figure did not move at all.
"Which bloodline do you belong to?" Finally, unable to endure the mockery, Ian coldly said.
"Ah! Someone dares to disrespect Prince Ian!"
"Who is he!"
"I don't think I've seen him before."
"Judging by his attire, he must be from the Giles lineage."
"That's wrong, Prince Ian is of Duke strength, how can he be unaffected?"
"Could he also be of Duke strength?"
All of them looked up sneakily, wanting to see who dared to be so presumptuous in front of Prince Ian.
Unfortunately, that person appeared very young, and his body faintly exuded a dominant Blood Energy that made it impossible for them to discern his true cultivation.
"Giles guardian lineage," Xia Liu slowly spoke.
To make him kneel, there are not many living people in this world who qualify.
Let alone these evil Blood Clan.
Ian was just a Blood Clan Prince with a Duke cultivation; Xia Liu could kill him in a matter of minutes if he wanted to.
"It really is the Giles lineage!"
"Tsk tsk, not kneeling before Prince Ian, I don't know how he's going to die."
"A guardian lineage of the Imperial Family, not kneeling to greet their lord, he shouldn't exist in this world."
"The Giles lineage is going to pay a heavy price!"
With Xia Liu's acknowledgment, the vampires at the scene began to whisper fervently.
Although their lineage was quite behind when compared to the Giles lineage,
they were very willing to attack the Giles lineage.
And since the Giles lineage had been guarding the Royal Family for many years, they had been arrogant for so long, it was time to suppress them.
If they could be suppressed to be like the Kathleen lineage, that would be ideal.
"You see the Prince and yet you do not kneel!" a Marquis vampire close to Xia Liu roared at him.
"The Giles lineage is all warriors, warriors do not bow their heads, they only fight!" Xia Liu firmly replied.
"Hmm? You make some sense, but I, Ian, will not allow you to disdain!" Saying this, Ian's Blood Energy erupted, and his figure turned into an afterimage, in an instant rushing in front of Xia Liu.
Xia Liu's eyes sharpened, just as he was condensing energy to kill Ian in a flash, suddenly a thunderous voice pierced through the crowd: "Ian, brother, it's my wedding day, please hold back."
Hearing this voice, Ian, even if he didn't want to hold back, had to comply accordingly.
His Blood Claw stopped three inches from Xia Liu's body.
Ian glared at Xia Liu, "Tell me your name."
"Harry, Harry Giles," Xia Liu introduced himself very enthusiastically.
