At this moment, Baiquan held Baiying in his left hand and Yinggou in his right hand as he fled to the west.

"Damn it, these guys actually dare to rebel and spread rumors everywhere that Grandma is dead," Baiquan gritted his teeth and cursed while running.

The Blood Tribe soldiers behind them chased relentlessly, running wildly all the way.

"Baiying, I'm going to transform into a massive python. Take care of our little aunt and don't fall off my back," Baiquan said to Baiying in his left hand.

"Baiying... Baiying..." Baiying nodded and called out, indicating that she understood.

Baiquan tossed Baiying and Yinggou into the air. Baiying spread her wings in midair, holding onto Yinggou and allowing her to float in the air. Baiquan directly transformed into a giant python form and swung her tail towards the group of Blood Tribe members, ruthlessly hitting them with a powerful swipe.

"Ao~"

The group of Blood Tribe members howled in pain, a thick tail sweeping towards the ground.

"Boom... Boom... Boom..." The ground trembled violently, dust flying, and a crack appeared in the ground.

Seeing this, Baiying sat on her sister's back, holding onto Yinggou.

Baiquan didn't want to stay and fight, so she carried the two of them and ran westward.

Yinggou stood on top of the snake's back and continued to make joyful sounds. It seemed very excited.

Baiying was speechless. How could her aunt be like this?! She was actually so excited?!

"Baiying... Baiying..."

"Yiyi yaya, yiyi yaya..." Yinggou continued to make noises, "Yiyi yaya," without stopping.

And Baiying kept saying "Baiying..." but neither of them understood what the other was saying, so they just kept calling out.

Baiquan was speechless. These two were really something, singing together harmoniously.

She didn't bother paying attention to them and could only increase her speed, hoping to leave the Blood Tribe's territory as soon as possible.

...

At the same time, Li Xi, Xue Youyue, and Mei Weisi were breaking through to the south. Their bodies were covered in wounds, looking extremely miserable.

"Mei Weisi, what should we do now?" Li Xi asked.

Mei Weisi's face turned pale and her eyes turned cold. She stared at the road ahead, silent, and no one knew what she was thinking.

"The Crimson Domain has undergone such changes, and Aunt has not appeared. Could it be true, as they said, that Aunt is already dead?" Mei Weisi thought to herself, feeling very complicated.

Suddenly, an arrow shot towards Mei Weisi. Li Xi swiftly raised her sword and blocked the arrow.

Xue Youyue immediately pulled the bowstring and shot an arrow in the direction the arrow came from. The arrow pierced through the air and penetrated a tree trunk in the distance.

The arrow pierced through the tree trunk, carrying a powerful force, and hit a large tree in the distance.

The tree immediately exploded and turned into powder, directly incinerating the Blood Tribe soldier behind the tree, leaving no remains.

"Mei Weisi, focus and don't get distracted. Her Majesty the Queen will be fine. Don't listen to these traitors' nonsense. Besides, the Crown Prince is there to protect Her Majesty. It's impossible for them to harm Her Majesty!" Xue Youyue comforted Mei Weisi.

Mei Weisi nodded in response, no longer speaking but keeping her full attention on the road ahead.

Mei Weisi's hands radiated water elemental power, gradually forming two sharp blades. As she closed her hands together, these two blades merged into a crystal-clear blade.

Mei Wei and her two companions showed no fear at all. They formed a triangle formation, able to support and assist each other.

Li Xi and Mei Wei attacked continuously with their weapons, while Xue Youyue provided cover with her bow and arrows. The three of them worked together seamlessly, managing to push back thousands of vampire soldiers.

The area around them was filled with dead bodies, blood flowing and permeating the air with a strong stench of blood. It was nauseating.

"Hurry, Mei Wei," Li Xi said urgently.

"But... Ying Gou is still inside... She's just a child. Iris's life is uncertain. We can't let auntie lose Ying Gou too, or else she'll be devastated..." Mei Wei worriedly said.

"Dugu told me that Bai Juan is with Ying Gou. Bai Juan is just like Iris, very clever. There shouldn't be any danger. Who knows? Bai Juan might have already led them to escape," Li Xi reassured.

"But what if Bai Juan couldn't get out?" Mei Wei still wasn't reassured.

"That won't happen. Bai Juan is a student you taught. Don't forget, in hand-to-hand combat, you can't beat her," Li Xi said.

Hearing Li Xi's words, Mei Wei finally felt a bit relieved.

...

"Swish! Swish! Swish!"

One black shadow after another lunged towards Li Xi and the others, their blades shining with a fierce glint.

"Hmph!" Li Xi sneered, his figure flickering, evading the hidden weapons again and again with ghost-like speed.

"Splat!"

Li Xi sliced through a vampire soldier's neck with his sword, blood spraying out. The soldier stared wide-eyed at Li Xi, mouth slightly agape, before finally dying.

In the end, the three of them managed to kill all those vampires together. They then hurriedly ran forward, their figures getting faster and faster, disappearing into the night in the blink of an eye.

...

Inside the Prime Minister's residence, blood flowed like rivers, bodies strewn haphazardly on the ground, a mix of blood, flesh, bones, and tendons. The residence had turned into a slaughterhouse.

"Prime Minister Frost, you are a smart person. I admire your abilities. If you submit to me, you can become the Prime Minister of our vampire empire," Victor looked at Frost and said in a calm tone.

Frost stared at Victor with a malicious gaze. "I am an elder of the vampire council, loyalty is my duty. The three queens have treated me well. If I betray them, my conscience will never forgive me."

"Heh," Victor chuckled disdainfully. "Loyalty? Isn't my loyalty enough? For the Crimson Empire, the Dawn Knights used black iron chains to permanently seal my magic. From that moment onwards, I became an ordinary person, unable to use even the most basic magic. Half a year ago, someone approached me and told me that if I helped him, he would restore my magic and let me ascend to the throne of the vampire empire. Even if Lilia sent me a useless potion, I wouldn't complain. It's because of Lilia's heartlessness that I made this decision."

"That's not true. Her Majesty the Queen is someone I watched grow up. She wouldn't be heartless," Frost argued.

Suddenly, a skeletal hand emerged from underground and directly grabbed Frost. His pupils contracted, and he quickly tried to retreat, but it was too late. His body was caught, torn apart, and turned into a pile of flesh and blood on the ground.

"Why waste time with our Prime Minister? Does Elder Victor not want to regain his magic?" Keryss approached Frost with a steady stride, stepping on his face. "Prime Minister, would you be willing to assist our new king in governing the Crimson Empire?"

"I am an elder of the council for three generations. How can I do something that betrays my liege?" Frost gritted his teeth, insisting.

"In that case, you can die." Keryss coldly ordered, lifting his foot and ruthlessly stomping on Frost's neck, snapping it.

With a crisp sound, Frost's head fell off, blood spraying everywhere.

"Please handle our vampire king." Keryss turned to Victor beside him and gave an order. After that, he left without lingering, paying no attention to anyone else.

Victor sighed and shook his head. "Frost, even though you are an elder of the council for three generations, why don't you understand the importance of being flexible? Is loyalty only to Cecilia of the Crimson Empire worthy of your loyalty?"

"Bury Frost deep," Victor commanded.

"As you wish," a guard nodded in response and went to take care of Frost's affairs.

Victor turned and looked into the distance, his gaze becoming distant and lost. It seemed like he was searching for something, yet at the same time, he didn't seem to care about finding it.

"Father." Just then, a sweet voice of a young girl entered Victor's ears.

Victor turned his head and looked at his beloved daughter, a smile forming at the corner of his mouth. He gently said, "Lena, what brings you here? Weren't you supposed to be in training?"

"I just finished training and couldn't help but come find you, Father. What have you been busy with lately?" Lena asked.

"Not much, just collecting some materials for my training. So that my good daughter can progress faster," Victor chuckled.

"I see. Then I won't disturb you, Father." Lena said, then turned and left.

Victor murmured the last words Frost had said to him, "Her Majesty the Queen is the one who raised me since I was little..."

"Even if Lilia is not heartless, it doesn't matter anymore. What happened has already happened. All I can do is make the Crimson Empire thrive even more," Victor sighed, then turned and left.

...

At this moment, Violet hid behind a tree, witnessing everything.

She saw her grandfather die before her eyes, and tears immediately filled her eyes. She dared not cry out loud, so she covered her mouth and swallowed her tears.

She had never felt so powerless before. Her strength was too weak, and her abilities couldn't help her grandfather at all.

At that moment, Victor also noticed Violet's presence. He deliberately dropped a token engraved with the word "trust" on the ground, then left.

When Victor left, Violet wiped away her tears, picked up the token, and went back to her room to pack her things. She was preparing to leave the vampire territory and go to a foreign place to begin her arduous magical training.

"Grandfather, don't worry. I will work hard to practice magic and personally avenge you by killing that shadow guard!" Violet clenched her fist, her eyes flickering with anger.

Holding Victor's token close to her, Violet quietly left the vampire territory, overcoming all obstacles, heading towards a distant place.

...

Meanwhile, Dugu's body was covered in wounds, dripping with blood, and looked extremely terrifying.

He slowly walked towards the Northern Territory, saying to himself in difficulty, "I must... must... inform... the Queen... that Caris is... a demon."

As Dugu walked, he muttered to himself.

"Brother, find a place to heal your wounds. Your injuries need treatment," a soul-like girl emerged from Dugu's body.

"No, I must... tell the Queen," Dugu's words reached his sister, Dujing's ears intermittently, "Brother, you will die like this, and besides, the Queen might have already dealt with the trouble."

"I must... inform the Queen... about Car... Caris," Dugu said, then fell into a coma, while Dujing entered his body and endured the pain, using healing magic to treat Dugu's injuries, struggling all night long.

The next morning, before dawn, gentle snowflakes fell from the sky, covering the bloodstains on the ground.

At this moment, Dugu emerged from the body of a demonic beast. He saw that his wounds had healed considerably and continued on his journey without stopping.

He knew it was the work of his sister, Dujing. Presumably, she had returned to sleep inside his body.

In the distance, a woman wearing only a thin robe and carrying a silver-haired girl in her arms walked briskly towards him. She was Liran Day, the Queen.

Dugu hurried over, seeing the Queen trembling uncontrollably. He immediately took off his coat and covered the Queen's body.

Then he took out the hemostatic and blood-making medicine from his storage space, medicine that he hadn't been willing to consume himself, and had Lilia take it.

After Lilia swallowed the medicine, her complexion improved slightly, no longer as pale as before.

"Prince, there is a dilapidated village ahead. Let's take shelter there to protect the Queen from the cold and help her heal. We must not worsen the Queen's condition," Dugu said.

Liran Day nodded and walked towards the village ahead, holding Lilia.

The three arrived at the dilapidated temple, where Lilia was placed on a worn-out straw bed.

After looking around to ensure there was no danger, Liran Day sat on the edge of the bed and began to heal Lilia's injuries using restorative magic repeatedly.

Dugu, on the other hand, patrolled the surroundings, fearing any potential dangers nearby.
