Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Alex put some thought into it, and then his lips curled into a smile. "Let it be, I want to see what they will do."

He then put some runes, mixing them into the room formation in a way that was hard for people to notice.

"What about them, then?"

"If everyone is missing, it will be weird, but to just leave them here..."

Alex felt conflicted. It was easier to make decisions when he was emotionless, but now he didn't feel it was the correct choice.

He had a way to save them, and just leaving them here to their deaths was something he didn't want to do.

"Then just put them in Edonia. With the abbot disappearing, adding this will not make it any worse."

"You're right, MingYue, let's just do that."

With the rise of their strength, both of them could now send things to Edonia without Vesa's help. This was far more convenient than using Awe Cube, as they had a complete facility ready for any of their needs.

After taking the hostages with him, Alex turned invisible once again. Looking at the people in the prison cells, an idea then came to his mind.

He drew another rune and sent it to each cell.

"What is that for?"

"It will open the cells when the time is correct."

"You mean when the elder comes here?"

"Yes, or maybe when FengXue pulls her plan. I will see the situation."

"You can activate it remotely?"

"As long as it's not too far. It's just a simple rune, anyway. And this whole place is too weak for our level."

Alex then let out a sigh. With both of their strength, they could have just used their power to flatten the whole place. It's something he liked to complain about a lot to the author.

The protagonist could easily trample them all; why take so much bother? But now, being in the same position, he realized it's simple. He might be strong, but not strong enough to kill everyone in one go without causing innocents to die.

And this is not just the present; he also needed to think of the aftermath. What would happen to the temple if he killed everyone? Alex planned to take over the place. If he could control the leader, it would be far better than a ruined, scattered faction.

It would require more effort to create a new government system. Right now, despite having its branches scattered all over the continent, they all followed one order from ShangXi Temple. But if they destroyed this, the faction would then split into many individual small ones.

Some would follow the winner, some would try to take revenge, while most of them would use the opportunity to follow their own desires.

With his current goal, things were not that simple.

Back at the restaurant, FengXue was tired as she had just had a meeting with many people.

"There are still two more meetings. Do you want me to cancel them?"

Situ Cuiying asked with a frown. Considering her cultivation, normally she wouldn't get tired like this, but FengXue had been working nonstop since she got LingHua's body. She hadn't yet taken a single rest.

Normally, a cultivator doesn't need much of this, but in her case, LingHua's body was almost dead, recovered, possessed, and then quickly pushed to break through many realms. This made the body rise in fatigue.

FengXue also hadn't completely made the body hers, since she wanted to return it to LingHua, making her need to carry rejection reactions all this time.

"No need. Things will conclude soon."

"All right, I will prepare for the next one, then," Cuiying said with a sigh. She didn't understand what was passing through FengXue's mind, and she had already given up on it.

But before she left, the door swung open while a maid came and whispered something to FengXue's ear.

"Cuiying, you take care of the other meeting. Just make sure everything runs smoothly. I need something urgent to take care of," FengXue said, then left the room.

She moved to another private room, where Alex and MingYue were waiting for her.

Your adventure continues at empire

"This is the first time we've met, but you should have heard of me from MingYue."

FengXue put both hands in front of her and gave a respectful bow. "Sect Leader."

"Sit, we need to talk," MingYue replied.

"Leave us alone," FengXue ordered the maid, then took a seat.

She wasn't worried the maid would spread the news since everyone here was part of the Situ clan, and they had already taken a blood oath to be loyal to her on this mission.

Alex looked at FengXue with a glance; he could see a problem. "So you kept your promise. I thought you would really possess her body."

"I always keep my word."

"LingHua will get a lot of benefits, then, by lending her body to you."

Possessing a body and returning it is something that rarely happens, but it's not like there have been no cases like this before. If she tried to completely possess the body, LingHua would have a hard time trying to return.

The body is far stronger than her soul, and at that moment, it's completely transformed to become FengXue's body.

This would mean Alex or MingYue would need to intervene to make sure it ran smoothly, and in the process, they would need to disperse all the extra cultivation, reverting it to the past state.

Alex thought FengXue did this out of guilt for possessing LingHua's body. He found her action funny since she had, in the first place, planned to possess the body before MingYue intervened.

"Since you have that much thought, you should have a plan that won't hurt the innocent. Tell me about the current situation at ShangXi Temple."

"Corrupt. Outside, it looks all good, a utopia for those who cannot cultivate to live in peace. But in reality, it's worse. At the very least, outside, it's a direct threat, so people cooperate with each other. Here, many are trying hard not to shatter this illusion.

Victims are silenced, even by their own family and people that should protect them."
