Chapter 380: Cain's Altar

The morning sunlight shone in from outside the window; Lingyun held a cup of tea in his hand, gazing at the distant sky.

"Isn't this our vampire teacher? What's the matter, no class today?" Nina's figure suddenly appeared beside Lingyun.

"I think you've been worked to the bone lately; it's the weekend today, where would I need to teach?" Lingyun turned his head and said.

"True, I have been quite busy lately. Ever since Itogami Island nearly sank last time because of that Demon Beast, I've been working overtime to reinforce the entire island, and it really has exhausted me." Nina sat on the sofa and familiarly poured herself a cup of tea.

After the previous Demon Beast incident ended, deeply aware of the predicament that Itogami Island would disintegrate and sink into the sea if it lost its magic, the management of Itogami Island had to ask Nina, this Great Alchemist, to take action and replace many important parts of Itogami Island with brand-new materials to prevent such a situation from happening again. Therefore, during this period, Nina had been running all over the island, putting in quite a lot of effort. But thanks to her, the stability of the entire Itogami Island had indeed become much stronger.

"Hmm, it really is worthy of being tea brewed by your own hands. Although I haven't been to that land to taste truly fine tea, this skill of yours should be no less than those tea masters!" Nina took a sip of the tea in her cup, and her eyes couldn't help but light up.

"Perhaps." Lingyun answered lazily. "Are you here to look for Xia Yin? She was taken out by Ye Xi today, and I don't know where they ran off to."

"I can tell that Xia Yin has been living very happily here lately!" Nina stretched her body. "However, I didn't come here today to look for Xia Yin, but to look for you!"

"Look for me?" Lingyun raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes. You also know that I have been dealing with the materials in various important places on Itogami Island during this time. Among these key points, I discovered some ominous things; this island seems not as simple as it looks." Nina said with a frown. "Moreover, I can feel that a kind of unknown aura is gathering on this island."

"As expected of the legendary Great Alchemist, to actually be able to detect such a situation." Lingyun straightened his body and spoke slowly.

"You knew it all along." Nina said with a look of surprise.

"That's right, it's just that I wasn't able to find the source of this power for the moment, so I put it aside for now." Lingyun said with a leisurely expression.

"You're still so leisurely!" Nina rolled her eyes at Lingyun. "This kind of situation could endanger the entire Itogami Island!"

"Endanger the entire Itogami Island? You're still understating it!" Lingyun said.

"What do you mean by that?" Nina's expression couldn't help but change slightly.

"The Progenitor of the Demon Race—Cain!" Lingyun said faintly.

"Cain?" Nina stood up all at once. "But why would Kain's power appear on this island?"

"In some previous documents, I saw some key records. Cain was cursed and unable to step onto the earth; only by building a false earth on the sea could he return from the other realm." Lingyun said.

"You mean this Itogami Island is an altar for the resurrection of the Cursed God Cain?" A trace of horror appeared on Nina's face. "The person who spared no cost to build this island wants to resurrect the Cursed God Cain?"

"We don't know about that, but what is certain now is that the power gathering on this Itogami Island is nine times out of ten related to Cain." Lingyun said.

"Since you know it's Cain, why don't you take action?" Nina said anxiously. "Since you already know this power is related to Cain, you should also know what a terrifying person Cain is. He is the Progenitor of the Demon Race, the culprit who triggered the 'Holy War', corrupted the God Race into the Demon Race, and slaughtered the ancient humans on the ground, the 'Heavenly Tribe'. A guy like this has already caused multiple Great Destructions; if he is resurrected, the whole world will suffer!"

"However, I haven't found the source of this aura at all right now, so I can only put it aside for the time being." A sharp glint appeared in Lingyun's eyes. "But if this guy dares to show himself, I dare to beat him down completely!"

"You certainly have guts, but do you think that with your current strength, you can defeat a guy who has triggered several Great Destructions?" Nina asked. "Although your familiar is very powerful, it is almost impossible to defeat Cain!"

"As for that, you'll know when the time comes!" Lingyun said. "Besides, who told you that the Three Illusion Gods are the true form of my familiar?"

"What do you mean by that?" A trace of doubt appeared in Nina's eyes.

"You don't need to worry about that for now!" Lingyun flipped his hand, and runes appeared in his hand. "When you are renovating Itogami Island, follow the explanations on these and quietly embed these runes into different places; be careful not to let others discover them."

"These runes are?" Nina looked at the runes in front of her and couldn't help but frown; she had never seen the style of these runes before.

"Things that will come in very handy when the time comes." Lingyun said. "Be careful, don't let others discover them."

Nina accepted the runes with half-belief, then turned into liquid metal and quickly left the place.

"The Cursed God Cain, is it? Let me see just what kind of ability you have!" Lingyun said slowly.

"Lingyun, what you were talking about just now... was it Cain?" Just after Nina left, Liuli's figure appeared beside Lingyun.

"That's right, it's Cain." Lingyun said.

"Do you have any confidence in facing such an opponent?" Liuli said with a frown. "After all, Cain is the most powerful combat force in this world, aside from the complete Fourth Progenitor. With our current combat power, the possibility of wanting to defeat him does not exceed ten percent."

"I never do things without any certainty." Lingyun said confidently. "Besides, for people like us, who wouldn't have a few trump cards? With Xiao Gucheng's current state, if he were to run into Cain, there would definitely be no good outcome. Regardless, he is my student, and as a teacher, one must always resolve some worries for him."

"Most importantly, Xia Yin and Na Yue and the others all value this island, right!" Liuli interjected.

Lingyun nodded faintly and said no more.
