Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

Alex nodded. His voice then grew heavy. "We need to build up our force and technology, then quickly reach the universe stage so we can at least compete. Right now, we aren't even qualified. Our information and knowledge are not just outdated; we don't know anything."

"We can talk about that after taking my world and yours to Edonia. That will not change."

"Yes, I've ordered the sovereigns to gather back. Now it's time to knock some sense into them. After that, we will go straight to dominate this world. The framework has been made."

Hearing his words, MingYue grew suspicious. "Didn't we just start the news? How long have I been unconscious?"

"A month. Many things happened during that time."

"WHAT!? A month? There's no way Aunt and your sister stayed patient all this time."

"Vesa," Alex called out.

Red fog materialized as she appeared. "Yes, King and Queen, it's great seeing you all right. The King was quite worried all this time."

"Mom and Emily are in the outer region. Something happened."

"You sent someone to get information from outside?"

They had planned to do a short visit together before returning, but the incident happened. She had even lost consciousness for a month.

"Before that, can you tell me what you dreamed about?

I know you were immersed in my memories, but the time was too long, and there is some strange energy in your body."

"Strange energy? Is it Byakhee?"

"Yes. But it's just leftover energy without any will, so we're sure it shouldn't have any malicious intent, but who knows, since it's their energy."

"That makes sense, then. Do you remember what memory you lost?"

"Yes, Vesa told me about it."

"In that case, it will be simpler for you to experience it."

MingYue then sent the information to Alex using Vesa as a bridge.

Despite watching it all, for Alex, it still felt different. It was like watching a stranger's life from a third-person point of view. A very weird feeling. He still felt many emotions from it, since after all, it was his family, but it was nowhere near as close to the scar he had in the past.

Alex opened his eyes, flickering with coldness. "That mayor… I remember his family survived. I don't believe they didn't know anything."

"Yes, they are a good place to start."

"There's also the Gu clan. Do you know where we can find them?"

"They're scattered around, but I'm sure some of them exist in the big city."

"Let's forget about them for now. They probably come from a more advanced cultivation world. It's too risky to make them our enemy. But if we meet one, we can try to negotiate to get more information."

"There's also the dark guild. Do you have any idea which one had a hand in that incident?"

"Yes, I have some clues, but I will need to recheck the association database to make sure. There's also that person who worked for them and that woman… she should still be alive.

It's only a matter of time before she returns to my world."

MingYue gave a nod. She then put her hand over Alex's cheek. "Are you all right?"

Alex's coldness disappeared, replaced by a warm smile.

"Yes. How about you? Sorry that when you were in shock, I couldn't be there for you.

I couldn't say what they did is justified, but I'm sure they had their reasons."

MingYue's gaze turned complicated. "I don't know, honestly. I don't know how to face them."

Alex let out a sigh. "There is no right or wrong in things like these, just cause and effect. My mom at that time lied to me and Emily. If it was before, I would get angry, but now I kind of understand her reasoning. I would probably do the same if I were in her position."

"..."

Alex then pulled MingYue into his embrace. They hugged for a while, and then MingYue laid her head on his chest. "So what happened?"

"Vesa, show the map."

Vesa, who had been floating patiently waiting for them, gave a nod.

. She flicked her finger, and a projection of the planet they were on came out.

The Blue Jewel planet was an archipelago similar to Earth. There was an ice continent on top with one super-large continent surrounded by scattered small islands.

The super continent was then separated into a few colors based on the region: East, Central, North, West, and South.

"This place is Bai Yue Sect, and that is Dali City. When your brother took the mission to take it over, an incident happened."

MingYue raised her eyebrows. If something had happened to Minghao, she knew Alex would have started with it, so whatever happened meant he came out all right.

"A being was sealed under it, and guess what? That thing turned out to be the Deadly Sin Aspect."

"The weapon created to kill vampires? Isn't that too much of a coincidence?"

Alex let out a chuckle. "If I didn't know any better, I would say this is the author's plot device. But honestly, I think it's not weird.

The Deadly Sin probably looked for Alucard's progenitor essence, hoping to become stronger."

"But they were creations of Byakhee, those your father called Primordial, or as Vesa said, an Outer God."

"Yes, if this is a mission from Byakhee, there is no reason one of them would come hunting for it. This only means they want to break free from their master."

"With creatures that strong sealed, what happened next?"

"Well, this is the reason my mom and Emily are there. Uncle Sylva is dead, and based on the evidence I've gathered, Owl is probably a traitor."

"Traitor?"

"Yes, he was the Outer God that Byakhee mentioned staying here. His whole purpose is to look for the Deadly Sin Aspect. It seems something happened in the past while they were here, ending with one of them getting sealed."

"Hmm, they probably came from that rift in the central area."

MingYue then looked at the map, focusing on the place they were in.
