Invincibility Begins with a Super Fairy Manny - Chapter 392
Chapter 392: Chapter 392: The Twelve Speakers (3rd update)
Blood Mountain.
This was a towering mountain range, reaching into the clouds.
It could even be said that the entire Vampire Secret Realm was occupied by this mountain.
Along its slopes, many ancient castles were built.
The owners of these castles were primarily Vampire Grand Dukes.
And atop the mountain was the location of the Vampire Council.
When Xue An set foot on Blood Mountain, he saw countless blood lights converging towards the summit.
Powerful auras streaked across the sky, causing Xue An’s eyes to flash with wonder.
These were all Blood Pearls!
By the time he reached the great hall on the mountain summit, a large number of the Blood Clan had already gathered.
These Blood Clan members were all dressed impeccably, gathering in groups of three or five, conversing with each other using various elegant phrases.
When Xue An and the others appeared there, many cast curious glances their way.
Especially Selina and Quintina, who were walking at the forefront, made many faces turn somewhat strange.
“Isn’t that Selina who was played to the brink by Prince Wilson?” someone whispered.
“Hehe, it’s that little witch, ah, I didn’t expect her to attend the council this time!”
“The Lady Marquess behind her is rather unfamiliar!”
“Probably a newcomer! Heh heh, she’s so pretty, now the big shots have a new plaything!”
Within these murmurs, Selina chewed gum, her face full of frosty colors.
As per tradition, there was a brief banquet before the council began.
So soon, various exquisite dishes were brought in like a flowing stream.
But what attracted the most attention were the bottles of wine that glowed with a dazzling blood light.
Upon seeing these bottles, a cold gleam rose in Xue An’s eyes.
Where were these wines? They were clearly refined essence of blood, concocted from human fresh blood!
Each bottle might represent the lives of hundreds of people.
Yet here, they served as red wine for these Blood Clan members to display their elegant demeanor.
“Master!” sensing the faint killing intent emitting from Xue An, Selina called out softly.
“Hmm?”
“Now is not the time, those real big shots haven’t shown up yet!”
Xue An nodded, “Understood!”
As they were conversing, a voice brimming with endless malice came through.
“Dear Selina, I didn’t expect you to come as well!”
Upon hearing this voice, bloodlight surged in Selina’s eyes, and without turning around, she said, “My dearest brother, for such a grand council, of course, I must come!”
The speaker was none other than Selina’s half-brother from the same father, as well as Prince Wilson’s most valued offspring, Dennis.
Dennis chuckled upon hearing this, his eyes full of condescending arrogance.
“As the family’s plaything, I’m quite puzzled as to why you dare to speak to me with that tone.”
Selina snorted coldly, without responding.
Dennis’s gaze was drawn to Quintina standing aside, he walked over with a wine glass in hand and bowed elegantly.
“Beautiful lady, I’m delighted to meet you. I am Dennis, a descendant of the millennium-old noble Wilson family! Your beauty is truly unforgettable!”
Quintina didn’t respond, instead, she took a half step back and said indifferently, “But I am not pleased to meet you!”
This response caused Dennis’s expression to change, his eyes flashing with restless and angry light.
“I hope you realize who you are talking to!” with his words, three and a half pairs of blood wings appeared behind Dennis.
People around were shocked, “He is actually on the verge of breaking through to a Grand Duke!”
“The offspring of Lord Wilson is indeed extraordinary!”
In the midst of these discussions, Dennis’s face was full of pride and arrogance.
“Lady Marquess, as long as you apologize for your attitude just now, and pledge loyalty to me, I am willing to forgive you!”
Quintina sneered with a shake of her head, “Daydreaming!”
Boom!
Everyone around was shocked by Quintina’s attitude.
Daring to challenge Dennis with the strength of a Marquis.
Dennis’s face became so dark with anger it seemed water might drip from it. “Very well, Lady Marquess, I will remember you. After the council ends, I will be very pleased to have another talk with you!”
With that, he turned and swept away.
Quintina inwardly breathed a sigh of relief; just now she had been quite oppressed by the aura emanating from Dennis.
But for her master, she could not bow her head.
Xue An then smiled faintly, “What a pity!”
Only Quintina and the others knew what Xue An meant by that pity.
A Half-Step Duke is not a Duke; the Blood Pearl that’s condensed can’t be used either.
That was the reason for Xue An’s sense of pity.
Just then, there was a commotion at the front.
The twelve chairs in the Blood Clan hall gradually revealed figures upon them.
The twelve councilors of the Blood Clan council were actually all present.
All the Blood Clan members bent over in unison, respectfully shouting, “Greetings, councilors!”
At the center was Prince Wilson, scanning the entire hall with an authoritative gaze.
As an aristocrat who had lived for thousands of years, both his strength and prestige were awe-inspiring.
No member of the Blood Clan dared to meet his gaze, and wherever his sight landed, all submissively lowered their heads.
The only exception was when his gaze swept to a corner, where Selina was chewing gum, standing with an indifferent air.
She even gave Wilson a cold smile, then extended a middle finger, muttering something quietly.
Although it was inaudible, from the shape of her mouth, one could tell it was nothing pleasant.
Wilson’s heart skipped a beat.
Selina’s current demeanor was completely unexpected, as if she had slipped beyond his control.
But immediately, a cold smile surfaced on his lips.
Selina used to be his favorite toy, whom he tormented for a hundred years before she submitted to him.
But once a toy submits, it loses its appeal.
Thus Wilson had long lost interest in her.
Now, seeing Selina in this state, his interest in her was piqued once again.
The council officially began.
The first to speak was Andrew.
In an archaic and medieval emphasis he said, “Esteemed councilors, yesterday my descendant Andrew died, and according to my investigation, many of our Blood Clan were eliminated along with him. I have every reason to believe that this was an attack directed at our Blood Clan.”
His remark caused a slight stir.
“Was it done by the Church of Light?” another member of the Blood Clan loudly asked.
“It’s not clear yet, but I believe we should be on high alert. Not long ago, Grand Duke Alldington fell, leaving not a trace of flesh behind, and now my descendant has been attacked. These events are clearly targeted moves against our Blood Clan in the shadows!”
“Therefore, I propose that our Blood Clan council should be vigilant about this matter,” Andrew’s suggestion drew many voices of assent.
Wilson nodded almost imperceptibly, “Lord Andrew, your proposal is correct! I once sent Selina to investigate the cause of Grand Duke Alldington’s death. Now, she should have some leads.”
As the words fell, many eyes turned to focus on Selina.
