Chapter 403: Actions of the Dark Council

When Lingyun returned from the side of Tokisaki Kurumi's Spirit Crystal, what he saw was Chen Jing and the other person chatting happily with Ruoxi, and he quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Just now, when he went to check on Tokisaki Kurumi's Spirit Crystal, he discovered that two conflicting consciousnesses had actually appeared within the Spirit Crystal. After managing with great difficulty to stabilize the balance between the two consciousnesses, he then discovered that he could not sense the presence of Ruoxi and the others at all. This situation truly gave him a huge fright, and he hurried over immediately.

"Ruoxi, what are you all talking about?" Lingyun asked.

"I am asking the two older sisters to help me with a very important favor!" Ruoxi said with a smile.

"A very important favor? What is that?" Lingyun's brows lifted slightly.

"This, I can't say! Big Brother will know in the future!" Ruoxi said with a giggle. "Alright, I still need to go adjust the laws of the Cloud Realm; I'll leave this place to you!"

Watching Ruoxi disappear before the three of them in the blink of an eye, Lingyun shook his head helplessly, then looked toward Chen Jing and the other person.

"Don't count on us telling you the content of our conversation; this is a secret between us and little sister Ruoxi!" Chen Jing said with a smile.

Su Wanyue, who was on the side, also nodded vigorously, looking as if to say, "Don't even think about finding out anything from me."

"Alright, alright, I know this is a secret between you, so I won't ask." Lingyun said with a smile. "Then let's leave this place for now; after all, this is a World Embryo, and some of the energy here is still harmful to you!"

As Lingyun spoke, he brought the two of them away from the Cloud Realm.

"I really didn't expect that you, Lingyun, would have this kind of identity." Chen Jing said to Lingyun.

"You will keep this matter confidential for me, right!" Lingyun said to the two of them.

"Of course!" The two nodded in unison. "And this kind of thing is truly too inconceivable; even if we told others, not many people would believe it. However, if you run into some people with abnormal thinking, Lingyun, you might have endless trouble, so we will definitely keep the secret well."

Just as Chen Jing and Su Wanyue were discussing the matter of the Cloud Realm, Chen Jing's cell phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Xiaolunzi, why are you calling me again?" Chen Jing frowned slightly when she saw the phone number.

"Big Sister, can you stop calling me Xiaolunzi every time? If others hear it, it will be a huge blow to my brilliant and heroic image!" A man's wail came from the other end of the phone.

"Fine, as long as you can hold out for twenty moves in my hands, I won't call you Xiaolunzi in the future!" Chen Jing said with a smile.

"Don't, don't, don't, Big Sister, you'd better keep calling me Xiaolunzi!" Zheng Lun's face on the other end of the phone fell instantly.

Chen Jing's violence was famous among their group of friends, and the twenty moves she spoke of were absolutely twenty moves without any exaggeration. Especially after the cultivation technique Chen Jing practiced was modified by Lingyun, its power had increased several times over. He had once secretly estimated in his heart that being able to hold out for ten moves in Chen Jing's hands would be an extraordinary performance. As for twenty moves, that was joking with his own handsome face!

"You, I advised you long ago to cultivate properly, but you never listen. Otherwise, with your current talent, you wouldn't be unable to even take twenty of my moves now!" Chen Jing said crossly.

"Heh, Big Sister, let's leave cultivation to my big brother; I'm just not cut out for that!" Zheng Lun said with a grin.

"Alright, stop talking nonsense with me here, tell me, what do you want with me!" Chen Jing said.

"Hmm, there is indeed something." Zheng Lun said. "There are three things in total, and two of them are related to Big Brother Lingyun!"

Zheng Lun had always admired Lingyun; after all, being able to subdue Chen Jing, the Big Sister who was famous among their group of friends, meant he was definitely not an ordinary person. Especially after he learned that Lingyun had actually killed the notorious Vampire Duke Naishi some time ago, his perception of Lingyun had risen to the level of reverence.

"Related to Lingyun? What is that about?" Once she heard the matter was related to Lingyun, Chen Jing became serious at once.

"In the Blood List of the Dark World, a big order has appeared. The target is Big Brother Lingyun, and the price is not low—a full one billion!" Zheng Lun said.

The Blood List was a world-renowned bounty list in the Dark World, where people often posted various assassination missions. Once a mission appeared on the Blood List, everyone in the Dark World could take it. It could be said that once someone was on the Blood List, their future fate was basically sealed. There were very few people in the entire world who could survive after being put on the Blood List.

"One billion? That is not a small number. With this level of bounty, even a Xiantian Peak expert wouldn't reach this level, right!" Chen Jing said with a frown.

"That's right, a bounty of this level might even attract some Golden Core experts to take action." Zheng Lun said. "Big Sister, you must tell Big Brother Lingyun to be careful during this time; after all, wealth moves people's hearts, and there is never a shortage of desperate scoundrels in this world."

"Do you know who put this bounty up?" Chen Jing said through gritted teeth, the murderous intent in her tone something Zheng Lun could feel even through the phone.

"As for this, it is said that this bounty is divided into two parts, meaning two batches of people put it up. According to the information I have on hand, I can only confirm that one of the parties is from the Dark Church." Zheng Lun said. "As for the other party, because I don't have enough information, I cannot confirm who it is."

"Is that so? Then I'll trouble you to keep an eye on the Blood List during this time and see if you can get any useful information." Chen Jing said, calming her murderous intent. "Then, what is the second thing?"

"During this time, the vampires of the Dark Council have been moving frequently, and some powerful vampires are moving in the direction of Huaxia. Among these vampires, quite a few have a certain connection to Naishi; perhaps they are coming for Big Brother Lingyun."

"How does their strength compare to Naishi?" Chen Jing asked.

"According to the intelligence we have gathered, the strength of those people is probably lower than Naishi's, but if they join forces, even Naishi would have to flee." Zheng Lun said.

"With so many high-level vampires attacking, does the Dragon Group have no response?" Chen Jing asked with a frown.

"The Dragon Group?" Zheng Lun couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. "I don't even know if the current Dragon Group can be called the Dragon Group anymore. The current Dragon Group is full of factions, and they are arguing endlessly about this matter, but it is clear that more people have chosen to watch from the sidelines."

"Is that so? I understand; I will handle this matter myself." Chen Jing said calmly. "By the way, what is the last thing you mentioned?"

"Big Sister, I have applied for an external mission and will be leaving Beijing tomorrow." Zheng Lun said. "Various Strange Beasts have been appearing frequently all over the country during this time, and I want to go investigate what is going on."

"That's fine, it's good to stay away from this whirlpool." Chen Jing said. "Do you need me to see you off then?"

"That won't be necessary. Big Sister, you had better advise Big Brother Lingyun to avoid this for a while; this wave of vampires is coming aggressively, and they are clearly well-prepared." Zheng Lun advised.

"Avoid it? No need. If they really dare to come and look for trouble with Lingyun, Lingyun can leave them all behind!" Chen Jing said.

"Big Sister, you mean..." Zheng Lun's voice took on a hint of dryness.

"Who told you that Lingyun was going all out when he dealt with Naishi last time?"
