Chapter 319: The Fake Vampire

"Who exactly are you?" Nangong Nayue said coldly. The chains around her trembled, instantly assuming a defensive posture.

"Didn't I introduce myself already? Yuejiang, my name is Lingyun!" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Don't try to be slippery. Who exactly are you, and why does your body carry the aura of the Prison Barrier?" A flash of anger crossed Nangong Nayue's eyes; she even temporarily ignored the way Lingyun addressed her.

"I didn't lie to you. My name really is Lingyun. As for why I have the aura of the Prison Barrier on me, it's because I just came out from inside it!" Lingyun said with a smile.

"Stop joking. From the moment the Prison Barrier was established until now, no one has ever been able to escape from it. And I remember, inside the prison, there is absolutely no one like you!" A cold glint flashed in Nangong Nayue's eyes.

Ever since this man appeared before her, not only did she feel that something was wrong, but even her own Precept Chains began to produce unusual fluctuations, which caused the vigilance in her heart to rise to its peak instantly. A golden light rose from behind Nangong Nayue, and a golden humanoid figure wearing armor appeared behind her; it was precisely Nangong Nayue's guardian.

"Is it necessary to be so guarded against me?" Lingyun said somewhat helplessly.

"There's no help for it. For someone of unknown origin like you, I have to be on my guard." Nangong Nayue gave a cold shout, and the chains around her shot toward Lingyun's direction instantly.

"Freeze!" A sharp glint flashed in Lingyun's eyes. He pointed his right hand toward the Void, and the Precept Chains rushing toward him actually stopped, then coiled into a ball in front of him.

"What is this situation?" Nangong Nayue looked at the Precept Chains floating in front of Lingyun, unable to help but widen her eyes.

Following that, something even more shocking to her occurred: the guardian behind her actually refused to attack the person in front of him.

"These Precept Chains, there's something not quite right about them, isn't there?" Lingyun reached out a hand, and the Precept Chains actually landed in his palm.

"Hum, hum, hum"—one Array after another actually emerged on the Precept Chains. After these Arrays appeared, a silver light began to emanate from the Precept Chains.

"When you obtained these Precept Chains, were they already like this?" Lingyun asked.

"No, at the time they were just some broken chains. I spent quite a bit of effort back then to restore them," Nangong Nayue said subconsciously.

"You actually repaired them. You must have put in a lot of heart and effort back then, otherwise they wouldn't have acknowledged you." Lingyun nodded slightly. "Since they have already acknowledged you, then they are yours now."

Lingyun loosened his hand, and the Precept Chains in his hand flew rapidly to in front of Nangong Nayue. The golden armored figure behind Nangong Nayue also quietly faded into the Void, leaving only the two of them staring at each other on the scene.

"You, who exactly are you, and what is your purpose in coming here? Also, why do you know my name?" This was the third time Nangong Nayue had asked, but her tone had loosened somewhat; in her heart, she felt an inexplicable sense of closeness toward Lingyun.

"My name is Lingyun, and I am a Time-Space Traveler. Yuejiang, nice to meet you, please take care of me!" Lingyun reached out his hand and patted Nangong Nayue's head.

"Smack—"

Under Lingyun's touch, Nangong Nayue subconsciously closed her eyes, revealing a comfortable expression, but she quickly came to her senses, and a red cloud instantly rose on her face. Nangong Nayue reached out a hand, and the lace fan on the sofa instantly appeared in her hand, after which she struck Lingyun directly on the head with the fan.

"You are not allowed to add 'jiang' to my name! Also, you are not allowed to touch my head! You still haven't said why you know my name! And what does the Precept Chain have to do with you?"

"Didn't I say? I am a Time-Space Traveler, traversing through various time-spaces, so naturally I know your name," Lingyun said with a smile. "The original Precept Chains had a certain connection to me. As for the current me? A fake Vampire, I suppose!"

"Vampire?" Nangong Nayue frowned, but she did not sense any magic power from Lingyun. "Also, why a fake one?"

"As for that, it's because the Vampire bloodline within me is incomplete, and it is still in the process of being completed," Lingyun spread his hands.

"There's such a thing as an incomplete Vampire bloodline? And which True Ancestor's subordinate Vampire are you?" Nangong Nayue asked curiously.

"A subordinate of those Vampire Progenitors? Hah, they don't have the qualifications to be my superiors!" Lingyun curled his lips in disdain, and an aura of a superior naturally exuded from his body.

"The Vampire Progenitors don't have the qualifications to be your superiors?" A flash of doubt crossed Nangong Nayue's eyes.

Suddenly, a figure flashed through Nangong Nayue's heart, and she could not help but feel a trace of horror in her eyes. If he truly possessed that identity, then the several great True Ancestors really would not have the qualifications to be his superiors, and the situation that occurred earlier could also be explained. However, the only thing she was confused about now was why Lingyun would become what he called a so-called fake Vampire.

"Then what is your reason for appearing in this place now?" Nangong Nayue asked.

"My coming here can be considered as being entrusted by someone, but you don't need to worry; I won't be causing trouble in this world," Lingyun said.

"Even if you say that, I cannot fully believe your words," Nangong Nayue said slowly.

"Then what do you intend to do?" Lingyun asked.

"From today on, you will stay here, so it will be convenient for me to monitor you!" Nangong Nayue's fan tapped against her own palm.

"If I were a villain, wouldn't you be putting yourself in danger by doing this?" A smile curled at the corner of Lingyun's mouth, and a trace of terrifying killing intent leaked from his body.

"Tch, do you think you would be my opponent as you are now?" A smile appeared on Nangong Nayue's face. Beside her, countless Arrays appeared instantly.

"That might not be the case! Magic Prohibition Domain!" Lingyun lightly stomped his right foot on the ground, and an invisible Array rose from his side; the Arrays around Nangong Nayue instantly collapsed entirely.

But Nangong Nayue stared straight at Lingyun, without the slightest fear in her eyes.

"Fine, you win. It just so happens I don't have a place to stay here, so being able to stay here isn't bad." The two confronted each other for a while, after which Lingyun dissipated the killing intent on his body and spread his hands helplessly.

"Then you stay. I'll go prepare a room for you." Nangong Nayue turned her head, a faint, barely visible smile curling at the corner of her mouth.

"You've finally appeared!"
