Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"They keep raising taxes! My family can't even afford to eat! And they just keep getting richer!"

"They promised us change, but all they did was lie! They protect the wealthy, while we suffer!"

"This isn't just about money or jobs anymore. They steal our children, thinking we'll cower! But we'll tear this building apart if we have to!"

"This is the end of their rule! If they won't listen, then we'll MAKE them listen! For our families! For our future! Active the formation!"

Qi spread out as stronger cultivators emerged to quell the protest, but at this moment, a formation activated, blocking the whole temple.

This completely turned the entire area into a different space, making communication almost impossible.

No one could see past the barrier. But for the guards inside, it was the least of their problems.

One of their rituals required all of them to pay respects in the temple in the morning. This made almost 90% of their forces already gathered.

The problem was that the weird formation somehow dampened their qi, making it very hard to use.

Inside the temple, a group of people gathered in a room. As it was morning, normally, the people in the temple would have gathered for the morning ritual, but this one was far from it.

The group of people lowered their heads, with two dead bodies dropped to the ground. Based on the wounds, it was clear these corpses were fresh. In front, three people were seated on chairs.

Two were men with silver eyes, while the other was a woman with silver hair.

"Who is backing those cattle?" she asked in disdain.

"We don't know, madam. We suspect it's from the resistance movement, but they shouldn't be able to do something like this."

The woman raised her hand, and then, with one motion, the man's head dropped with a thud.

"Useless parasite. Do you think we cannot think that much? If you don't have a better answer, then you don't need to stay alive."

Fear quickly gripped the crowd; no one dared make a single move.

"Sis, what do you even expect?"

"He's right. We should just finish them all. Why bother with this?"

"You forgot the elder's order?" The woman asked, her eyes glinting dangerously.

The two men quickly shut up, not saying any more words.

"Hmph! It seems living here has made both of you complacent. Do you forget our real goal here?"

"Yes."

"What is it?"

"To control the temple from the shadows. But, Sis, they've already created a formation that completely separates the space. As long as we kill them all, no one will know what happened."

"That's right. Sis, we can also use this for justification later on."

"Hmmm…" the woman started considering their suggestion.

The elder had asked them to send more humans, but if too many disappeared at once, it would affect the stability of the sect. People would start asking questions.

Even now, this had already happened, giving them a headache.

"You do it, then get out and capture them all." She then turned her gaze toward the group in front of her. "You prepare for the aftermath. We need to at least capture 10,000 people now."

"Sis, one more thing—what about the abbot? I'm sure his disappearance is related to this."

"Whoever did this has my thanks. Making him the abbot was a huge mistake. He only indulged himself, not helping our task at all."

"But Sis, he's the elder's son. What if…"

The woman then smirked. "Let's just blame it on them, then."

The man disagreed, but he didn't dare say it. In his opinion, the elder wouldn't believe it. The abbot wasn't weak. If someone that strong really slipped in, they should have known and done something about it.

"What? Do you have something to say?"

"Umm… Sis, do you think the elders will believe us? I mean, in the first place, the reason we're here…"

"Hah, what can they do? Even if he doesn't trust it, can he come all the way here!?

That portal can only be used to send those that are dead. If not for that incident, none of us would ever be here.

So, what are you waiting for? Go!"

The two men looked at each other, then left the place. Outside, one of them said in an annoyed tone, "Sis is being even more sensitive lately."

"Shh… you think she can't hear us here?"

"You all go to the front and fight them. Even with your qi suppressed, you should be able to defeat them with your physical prowess."

"But, Sir, we've already received reports that the weapons they use are deadly."

"That's because they didn't transform. Just go all out and use the humans as our cannon fodder."

"Yes, Sir."

The group of elders quickly dispersed. Despite their sister's orders, none of them planned to go to the front lines.

They would exhaust every single force first until they had no choice before even doing that.

"Also, activate our own formation. We'll send all those fresh corpses directly to the homeland."

"That's a good idea. This way, we'll fill our quota no matter what, but honestly, do you know why they need this?"

The man's lips twitched, and then he hit his brother on the head.

"You retard. All this time, you don't know what you're doing? And why we're sent here?"

"Isn't it because of punishment? Because our father sided with them?"

"Hah! You really don't use your brain. How could I even have a brother like you?

Listen carefully. I will not repeat it again. Our chief wants to use them to corrode the formation in the core region. That way, we're not breaking any agreement."

"Ah, I see… Chief is so smart. The deal is only for us not to pass the Thousand Abyss Ridge.

If we create another hole toward the outer region, this means we're free to move around. But will they buy it?"

Despite thinking it was a smart move, he still felt that it was very shameless for them to do. It was basically a loophole.
