Chapter 2355 Elder, Recognized
At this moment, Matthew and the other two had already used the soul fusion technique to quietly come to the side of the six blood messengers.
Matthew and the other two held their breath and concentrated. The effect of the soul fusion technique made them like air, following silently behind the six blood messengers.
Their heartbeats almost blended into the silence around them, with only the faint sound of each other's breathing echoing in their ears.
The Blood Messenger took out a blood-colored token from the storage bag. After injecting some magic power into it, a blood-colored light appeared on the blood-colored token.
The blood light was like a living thing, entwining around the surface of the token, and then suddenly shot towards the seemingly ordinary stone.
The stone reacted unexpectedly, ripples appeared on its surface, as if water was gently touched, and then a circular entrance slowly opened, revealing a passage leading to unknown depths.
"Go in, the elder is inside."
The Blood Messenger's voice was cold and majestic. His eyes swept over the five vampires, as if he could see through their hearts.
The five people did not dare to be negligent at all. They nodded quickly and followed him into the passage.
Just as the circular entrance was about to close, they slipped in silently like ghosts.
Inside the passage, the air seemed to have solidified.
The Blood Messenger suddenly stopped and frowned, as if he sensed something.
He turned around and scanned the passage behind him with sharp eyes, but he found nothing except the five vampires.
The strange feeling like a breeze made him feel a little confused, but he quickly suppressed it.
He shook his head and continued walking forward.
The passage is very long and seems to have no end.
There were some glowing crystals inlaid on the wall, emitting a faint light, illuminating the road ahead.
Every few steps, there is a tightly closed door with complicated runes engraved on it, and there is a faint aura of prohibition and magic array coming from it.
Matthew and the other two did not dare to act rashly. They knew that the secrets of the vampires might be hidden behind these doors. But at the moment they had only one goal: to find the elder and obtain the location of the vampire headquarters.
There was no conversation along the way. At the end of the passage was a huge stone door with intricate blood-red patterns carved on it, as if blood vessels were flowing through the door.
The Blood Messenger stopped, put his hand on the stone door, and whispered some kind of spell.
As his voice fell, the stone door slowly opened, revealing a spacious hall.
In the center of the hall, sat an old man in a blood-red robe.
His face was old, but his eyes were like the abyss, emitting a captivating light.
In his hand he held a blood-colored scepter, on the top of which was inlaid a huge red gem that emitted an eerie light.
"Elder, the people are here." The Blood Messenger said respectfully, then stepped aside.
The five vampires hurried forward, knelt on the ground, and told their experiences in detail in trembling voices.
The elder listened quietly, with no expression on his face, but his eyes never left the five people.
Matthew and the other two hid in the shadows of the hall.
The elder's voice sounded like it came from the Netherworld, deep and hoarse, with a heart-pounding pressure.
His gaze was like an icy blade, sweeping across the five people kneeling on the ground, as if he wanted to dissect their souls and see through the deepest secrets in their hearts.
The five men were trembling all over, and the cold sweat on their foreheads slid down their cheeks and dripped onto the ground, making a slight "tick-tick" sound.
Their voices were filled with fear and awe, and they almost cried as they answered, "Elder, we dare not hide anything! Every word is true!"
The elder's eyes were still cold, without the slightest fluctuation.
He slowly raised the blood-red scepter in his hand. The red gem on the top of the scepter flashed with a strange light, as if it was absorbing the surrounding air, even the light was distorted.
At this moment, the elder swung his scepter violently, and a blood-red arc of light shot out like lightning, heading straight for the five people kneeling on the ground.
The five men obviously did not expect the elder to suddenly take action. Their faces turned pale in an instant and their eyes were filled with despair.
Their cultivation was only at the Foundation Establishment Stage, and facing the attack from an elder in the late Nascent Soul Stage, they did not even have the slightest chance to resist.
The blood-red arc of light carried a breath of destruction, as if it would completely devour them in the next moment.
However, just when the arc of light was about to touch the five people, something strange happened!
The arc of light seemed to have hit an invisible wall and stopped abruptly about half a foot in front of the five people, unable to move forward any further.
The blood-red light arc trembled violently in the air, making a buzzing sound, as if it was fighting against some invisible force.
The elder's pupils suddenly contracted, and the expression on his face changed from indifference to shock.
The hand holding the scepter trembled slightly, and he obviously did not expect that his attack would be blocked.
The Blood Messenger stood aside, a look of disbelief appearing on his originally indifferent face.
He subconsciously took a step back, his eyes moving back and forth between the five people and the elder, as if trying to find out the cause of this strange phenomenon.
The five people kneeling on the ground had already closed their eyes, waiting for death to come.
However, the expected pain did not come.
They slowly opened their eyes and were stunned when they saw the blood-red arc of light stop in front of them.
Their faces were filled with disbelief, as if they had seen the most incredible thing in the world.
"What...what's going on?"
One of them asked in a trembling voice, with a mixture of relief at surviving the disaster and deep confusion in his voice.
The elder's face was terribly gloomy, and his eyes were fixed on the blocked blood-red arc of light, as if he wanted to see through it to the truth behind it.
He slowly raised his hand, and the red gem on the top of the scepter flashed brightly again.
This time, he did not hold back, but instead used all his magic power to swing the scepter violently, and a blood-red arc of light even thicker than before shot out again!
However, the results remain the same.
The moment the blood-red arc of light approached the five people, it was blocked again by an invisible force and stopped in mid-air.
Where the light arc collided with the invisible force, it even caused energy ripples visible to the naked eye, and a low roar was heard in the air.
"impossible!"
There was a hint of shock and anger in the elder's voice that was difficult to conceal.
He is a powerful warrior in the late Nascent Soul stage and one of the top existences in the entire vampire clan.
Even if it was a cultivator of the same level, it would be impossible for them to block his attack so easily, let alone five lower-level cultivators?
The Blood Messenger's expression also became solemn.
He whispered to the elder, "Elder, these five people... seem to have some powerful protective magic weapon, or... there are masters secretly helping them."
A cold light flashed in the elder's eyes.
He did not answer the Blood Messenger's words, but slowly raised his hand, spread out his five fingers, and pointed his palm at the five people.
A powerful suction force came from his palm, as if it was going to draw out the souls of the five people.
However, the invisible force reappeared and completely isolated the elder's suction.
The five people's bodies remained motionless, as if they were protected by a mysterious force.
"Who is it? Get out here!" The elder's voice echoed in the empty hall like thunder, shaking the surrounding walls slightly.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he scanned every corner of the hall, trying to find the enemy hiding in the dark.
However, the hall remained silent, with only the elder's voice echoing.
The five people kneeling on the ground were completely stunned at this time.
They had no idea what was happening, nor did they know why they were suddenly protected by a mysterious force.
Their hearts were filled with both relief and fear.
Fortunately, they escaped for the time being.
The fear is that they don't know what will happen next.
At this moment, there was a slight fluctuation in the air in the hall, as if something was slowly emerging.
The elders and blood messengers immediately locked their eyes on that direction, and gripped their scepters and weapons tighter.
"Since you dare to interfere in the affairs of my blood clan, why don't you dare to show up and see me?"
The elder's voice exploded in the hall like thunder, carrying with it a strong murderous intent and pressure.
His eyes were as sharp as an eagle's as he scanned the void around him, trying to find the enemy hiding in the dark.
And after he finished speaking, a chuckle was heard in the air. The chuckle was low and gentle, but it carried a heart-pounding power.
Immediately afterwards, a figure slowly walked out of the void.
He was a man wearing a purple robe embroidered with intricate golden patterns that flickered faintly.
His face was elegant, and his brows showed calmness and depth, as if everything in the world was under his control.
When the man fully appeared, the elder's face suddenly changed, and his body, which had been as steady as a rock, actually trembled slightly.
His pupils suddenly contracted, and a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, even with a hint of fear that was difficult to conceal.
"Matthew! You're back!"
There was an obvious tremor in the elder's voice, as if he had seen some terrifying existence.
His fingers were tightly clenched around the bloody scepter in his hand, his knuckles turning white from the force, and it was obvious that a storm was brewing in his heart.
Matthew smiled slightly, looked at the elder calmly, and said with a hint of sarcasm in his tone: "It seems that the blood dwarf has told the entire blood clan about my affairs."
His voice was not loud, but it seemed to carry an invisible pressure, making the atmosphere in the entire hall solemn.
The five people kneeling on the ground were completely confused at this time. They had no idea who the man who suddenly appeared in front of them was. But when they saw the elder's frightened expression, they couldn't help but feel a little awe in their hearts.
The elder's face was gloomy and uncertain, and he was obviously trying his best to suppress the fear in his heart.
He took a deep breath, and his voice was filled with a hint of forced calmness: "Matthew, since you are back, don't blame us for being rude! The blood clan is not a place where you can arbitrarily interfere!"
Hearing this, Matthew chuckled, with a hint of disdain in his eyes: "You are only in the late Nascent Soul stage, and you dare to speak so arrogantly in front of me? Didn't the blood dwarf tell you that I am no longer the same person I was back then?"
His tone was light, but it made the elder's expression even uglier.
A fine layer of cold sweat oozed out of the elder's forehead. He knew that Matthew's strength was far beyond what he could contend with.
The moment Matthew finished speaking, a hint of ruthlessness flashed in the elder's eyes.
He slammed the armrest of the chair, and the chair, which was originally as stable as a rock, suddenly made a "click" sound, and then the bottom of the chair began to rotate rapidly.
The elder's body also sank rapidly at this moment, as if he was about to escape into the ground.
At the same time, the Blood Messenger standing next to the elder also reacted immediately.
His figure flashed like a ghost, quickly approaching the elder and falling down closely behind him.
The two men coordinated their movements perfectly, and it was obvious that they had already prepared to escape.
