In a room in the hotel of the Giovanni clan, Mu En felt the boiling blood in his body gradually calm down. He slowly exhaled a breath of hot air and opened his eyes. Purple light flashed in his eyes and slowly disappeared.
He glanced at the sky outside. A day had passed and he could sign-in for the second time.
"Sign in!" Mu En muttered to himself.
"Signing-in... unable to sign-in."
"The host's location has been detected near the ancestral land of the vampires -- Lilith Temple. It is impossible to sign-in from the same location."
"What in the world! Why didn't you say so earlier?" Mu En almost jumped up from his bed and cursed.
He had worked hard for the entire night, but in the end, he was alone. Where was the trust between people?
He was no longer a human, and for bloodlings, night was the best time for activities.
However, Mu En still felt that he had suffered a great loss. The most important thing was that he could not sign-in at the same place twice. This meant that he would have to travel all over the world if he wanted to get the rewards from signing-in again in the future.
"Then how far do I have to go before I can leave the range of the temple?"
"The coverage of different places is different. Lilith temple covers a radius of 100 miles."
"Curses!" Mu En cursed in a low voice. It seemed that his plan of lying in the ancestral land and getting the rewards from signing-in was ruined.
Since that was the case, he could not stay in the hotel anymore. He had to go out and take a walk.
There was more than the Lilith Temple in the ancestral land of the vampires. The temple was only used for the vampires to discuss matters.
Apart from the Lilith Temple, which was used for discussion, there was also the place where the souls of the vampires rested -- All Souls Temple.
And the battle arena of the vampires.
After estimating the distance, Mu En decided to go to All Souls Temple first. After all, that place was called the place where the souls of the vampires rested.
Logically speaking, his father's soul was also resting there. The original Mu En had traveled to the ancestral land of the vampires for several months, not to participate in the meeting of the temple. After all, he knew his own capabilities.
His main purpose was to pay his respects to his father.
There was only an old vampire at the reception desk of the clan hotel. He was in charge of the entire hotel. Mu En even suspected that this vampire was from the same group of people who had built the hotel.
When Mu En came down, the old vampire was about to lie down in the coffin behind him to rest. When he heard movement, the old vampire glanced at him with his pale and turbid eyes and then closed the coffin lid.
For these older vampires, a coffin was enough, and Mu En was so poor that he only had a broken coffin left.
"This is a tradition!" Mu En could only comfort himself like this.
...
That night, Lucius finally experienced what a clan hotel was. There was no place in the entire room that was silent. The wind blew gently, and all the doors and windows began to shake. The hard wooden planks made his whole body hurt.
Moreover, he did not have any food or drink. It was more than 10,000 times worse than the place where his lowest servant lived. "The next time I stay here, I'll be a dog."
It was not like he did not have any gains after not sleeping for the entire night. After thinking for the entire night, he finally figured out that he might have been used as Count Toby's pawn in order to verify the attitude of the throne.
After all, it was impossible for a small figure like him to attract the attention of the throne. Although he had indeed violated a lot of the six rules of the blood clan, the one who should be more anxious was their count. What they had done was far bigger.
Moreover, Mu En might not have stayed at the clan hotel to report to the throne. Perhaps he was recuperating. After all, he was different from Lucius.
He had traveled a long distance for more than a month to get here. He definitely needed a good rest. Perhaps he would leave tomorrow.
After Lucius figured out what was going on, he felt that he was smart. He wanted to leave this lousy inn immediately and return to his luxurious carriage.
After noticing that Mu En had left the inn, he was even more certain of his guess.
"This guy is finally going back. Sigh!" Lucius yawned and said, "Wait, which direction is that? All Souls Temple? Could it be that Mu En also thought that he wouldn't be able to wait for the throne in the hotel, so he decided to go to All Souls Temple to try his luck."
"But even in All Souls Temple, the throne rarely shows up. Could it be that he lost his father and was paying respects to him?"
"No, no, no, it's not that simple. Maybe he's not waiting for the throne, but to meet his father's friends."
"It's over. The hope of meeting the throne is very slim, but it's possible to meet his good friends who are going to pay their respects to his father. If those people see the current state Mu En is in and think of their friendship with his father, they might decide to lend a hand."
The more Lucius thought about it, the more he felt that it was possible. Although he looked down on Mu En, he still respected or feared Mu En's father, the former Duke, from the bottom of his heart.
To a person of that level, crushing him to death was as easy as crushing an ant. Lucius immediately stopped his thoughts of returning and decided to follow Mu En to see what he wanted to do.
...
When he arrived at All Souls Temple, unlike the solemn Lilith Temple, this temple was much more gentle. An unknown elegy sounded throughout the hall.
In the tradition of the blood breeds, this elegy allowed the wandering souls of the blood breeds to rest in peace.
The blood breeds who died in battle were basically turned into ashes and would not leave any traces, let alone their bodies. Therefore, All Souls Temple did not have any coffins. Instead, there were black stone tablets with names carved on them.
"Sign in!" Mu En found the stone tablet with his father's name carved on it and chose to sign-in in front of it.
"Don't worry. I won't let anyone bully your son anymore. I will take back the territory that belongs to you bit by bit."
"Sign-in successful!"
"Sign in place: Ancestral land of the vampires -- All Souls Temple."
"Sign in reward: Soul Sacrifice Blood Technique, ..."
After listening to the introduction of the Soul Sacrifice Blood Technique in his mind, Mu En was overjoyed. The Soul Sacrifice Blood Technique was not a simple secret technique. It contained almost all the secret techniques of the vampires related to the soul and spiritual power.
Among them, there was not only a way to increase one's spiritual power, but also a secret technique that could cause great damage to the opponent's spirit and soul, and even a forbidden technique that could control others.
Although the Bloodline Atavism Secret Technique had activated the inheritance fragment hidden in his bloodline, which had significantly increased his body's various abilities, the increase in his spiritual power was very limited. Moreover, there was no effective way to kill the enemy.
This could be considered as filling up one of his shortcomings.
However, all the secret techniques on the Soul Sacrificing Blood Technique could not be learned by Mu En. Some of the secret techniques had almost strict requirements of spiritual power.
With Mu En's current spiritual power, he could only learn a few of them.
Mu En found the secret techniques that could nourish the soul and increase spiritual power. Perhaps it was because he had practiced the Bloodline Atavism Secret Technique, but he soon grasped the essence of it.
Even so, he could only cover a one-meter radius with all his spiritual power.
"It seems that my spiritual power is still too weak." Mu En sighed and turned to leave the All Souls Temple.
However, after Mu En left the All Souls Temple, he found that the range of his spiritual power had expanded to 20-30 meters.
"It seems that there is some kind of restriction that suppresses spiritual power in the All Souls Temple!" Mu En turned to look at the tunnel leading to the All Souls Temple. "In that case, let's see how much range I can cover without the restriction."
"Eh? This is..." After completely dispersing his spiritual power, Mu En had an unexpected harvest.
