Chapter 43: Identity Confirmation

  Beta Prince is a genius among the Blood Clan, breaking through to the Prince level in less than three thousand years, which is extremely rare in the Blood Clan. Because the Blood Clan does not have a cultivation method, they can only rely on gradual absorption of moon energy to improve their abilities, and the amount of moon energy required to increase each level is enormous. This makes it extremely difficult for the Blood Clan to upgrade their powers. Someone like Beta Prince who can break through to the Prince level in three thousand years is already a genius among geniuses!

  However, Prince Beta's power has not made any progress since 2000 years ago, no matter how hard he tries, it is useless. His power has been stuck at the prince stage, which makes Prince Beta a little desperate. In this situation, Prince Beta decided to continue his bloodline.

  Beta Prince married a beautiful woman from the Blood Clan, but due to the low fertility of the Blood Clan, Beta Prince tried for a thousand years before finally giving birth to Carl. This made Beta Prince extremely doting on Carl, and Carl seemed even more talented than Beta Prince, reaching the rank of Marquis in just a thousand years, five hundred years earlier than Beta Prince had reached that level. This made Beta Prince even more indulgent towards Carl, tolerating everything he did.

  But what Duke Beta didn't expect was that Karl, like him, had also stopped making progress after becoming a marquis and remained at the same level until now! As for this matter, they were also helpless, so they didn't spend any more effort on it, letting nature take its course. Instead, they shifted their focus to dealing with their old arch-nemesis, the Church.

  The Bloodline and the Papacy seem to be natural arch-enemies, and whenever members of both sides meet, it's always a fight to the death. The most famous struggle between them was the French Revolution. At that time, King Louis XVI of France was actually a minor nobleman of the Bloodline, and many members of the royal family were also part of the Bloodline. However, with the support of the Papacy, the revolutionary army eventually sent King Louis XVI to the guillotine, marking the end of the struggle in defeat for the Bloodline.

  After that struggle, the power of the blood clan went underground and began to secretly oppose the Vatican. Through long-term development, they finally controlled most of Europe's underground world in their own hands, grasping the economic lifeline of most of Europe. Even some government leaders were under the control of the blood clan. There were also some monarchies that retained their thrones, such as the United Kingdom, whose royal family was actually a descendant of the blood clan. However, they were only nominal heads of state, while the prime ministers who held real power were people from the Vatican.

  The power of the Vatican is also extremely vast, first and foremost being its enormous number of followers. There are followers of the Vatican all over the world, giving it such strength that the Blood Clan has been at a disadvantage in their repeated clashes. However, there's nothing they can do about it - after all, the Blood Clan's teachings don't have the hypocrisy or allure of those of the Vatican. Having fewer followers is inevitable.

  The Vatican also controlled part of the economic lifeline in Europe, but the Vatican had grasped the economically strongest country in the world, the United States. This point alone was enough for the Vatican to rival the Blood Family in terms of economic strength.

  Moreover, the Vatican has a very powerful force, that is the Knights of the Holy Light. This is the most elite and strongest force in the Vatican. Every time the vampires are at a disadvantage, it's because of the Knights of the Holy Light. The knights' mastery of holy light has a natural restraining effect on the vampires, causing them to suffer greatly every time they clash, with each loss being extremely severe.

  The Blood Clan formed the Black Ice Mercenary Group to counter the Holy Light Knights of the Church, and the Black Ice Mercenary Group recruited humans who underwent rigorous training to fight against the Church. Although they were still affected by the holy light of the knights, it was much less than the Blood Clan, thus achieving a balance between the two sides.

  However, due to the Vatican's extremely large number of followers, they have been spreading all kinds of crimes committed by the Blood Clan all over the world, making life difficult for the Blood Clan in recent years.

  As the supreme leader of the Blood Clan, Beta Prince had spent a lot of effort to deal with the Church, but in the end, he still couldn't achieve his desired results, which made him feel extremely disappointed. However, one time when he was browsing through the Blood Clan's Dark Scripture, he discovered an extremely interesting piece of information - that the Blood Clan also has a Holy Child, just like how the Church claims their Holy Child is Jesus, and how Jesus led the Church to glory. The Blood Clan's Holy Child would also lead them to unprecedented glory. From then on, Beta Prince devoted himself to finding the Blood Clan's Holy Child, and this search lasted for nearly a thousand years, until Yang Feng appeared today!

  "What?!" Prince Beta bellowed loudly at Carl, the massive sound wave forcing Carl to cover his own ears.

  "Oh, for crying out loud, can't you maintain some dignity as a member of the royal family?! You're scaring our great Holy Son!" Karl sarcastically rebuked his father, King Beta.

  Prince Beta took a deep breath after hearing Karl's words, calmed himself down, and a smile reappeared on his face, showing a noble demeanor. He then said to Karl, "Oh, dear son, can you tell me where the Holy Child is? It wouldn't be this little guy standing behind you, would it?"

  "Oh, damn it, how can you call the Holy Son a little guy?! You should be punished!" Karl said without any scruples that his old man was damned, making Prince Beta's eyes full of anger but unable to erupt.

  Beta Prince looked at Yang Feng behind Carl, his pale blue eyes scanning Yang Feng's body back and forth, observing for a long time before saying, "The Dark Sacred Scripture records that the one with blood wings is the Holy Son of our Blood Clan, can you show me your blood wings?!"

  Karl left immediately after hearing Berta's words, so that when Yang Feng showed off his Blood Wings, he would be less affected by the pressure of the Blood Wings. Yang Feng heard Berta's words and naturally muttered the incantation for transformation in his heart, directly displaying the Blood Wings in front of Berta, but Yang Feng secretly lamented in his heart that he had wasted another set of clothes!

  Beta Prince looked at the pair of blood-red wings behind Yang Feng, feeling the pressure emanating from them, and a sense of irresistible soulfulness rose in his heart, causing him to involuntarily kneel down on one knee. This feeling made Beta Prince feel a little fearful, but at the same time, he was ecstatic, it's really the Holy Son, the Blood Clan's Holy Son has finally appeared, and the glory of the Blood Clan will also arrive!

  Yang Feng saw Beta Prince kneeling there and quickly retracted his own Blood Wings. He couldn't feel the pressure on his wings at all, so he didn't know how much effect his Blood Wings had on Beta Prince. Now that Beta Prince was also kneeling in front of him, it meant that he had acknowledged Yang Feng's status. Therefore, Yang Feng was very excited in his heart because if his identity was recognized, then he could borrow the power of the blood clan to take revenge on the Yang family more smoothly!

  After Yang Feng's Blood Wings were withdrawn, the pressure on the Blood Wings naturally disappeared, so Prince Beta also stood up. Yang Feng saw that Prince Beta's face was full of smiles and knew that he didn't feel any dissatisfaction with his previous kneeling, so he put his heart at ease.

  "Haha, it's great! The holy son of our clan has appeared, and the glory of our clan is about to arrive! Karl, you've done a good job this time, you'll be rewarded!" King Beta said with a loud laugh.

  "Heh heh, old dad, what's the reward?! I won't have it if it's not good!" Karl said with a grin to King Beta.

  "Haha, how about going to the Blood Pool for half a year of cultivation?! Is that enough?!" Prince Beta said with a smile to Carl. This time, Prince Beta was truly delighted, his own son had found the Holy Child, such merit in the blood clan was extremely great, and it should be no problem letting him go to the Blood Pool for cultivation. However, Prince Beta cursed why he didn't find the Holy Child himself, if that were the case, he would be able to cultivate at the Blood Pool, and his own power would increase greatly!

  "What's a Blood Pool?! Where is that place?! I've never heard of it?!" Karl asked Beta in puzzlement.

  "What level are you at?! To know the affairs of the Blood Pool, one must reach the rank of King, just like your father! If it weren't for the great merit you've earned this time, do you think you're qualified to go to the Blood Pool to cultivate?! Even I, your father, have only entered once in my lifetime!" Beta King said to Carl.

  Karl's eyes lit up as soon as he heard Prince Beta say that, although he didn't know what the Blood Pool was, but he could be sure that this time he would definitely gain something, so he followed Prince Beta with great satisfaction, walking towards the outside with Yang Feng.

  Starting from today, there will only be one update per day because the Lunar New Year is approaching and I need to stock up on drafts. If not, I'll have to stop updating during the holiday. Hope you all can understand.
