An Chao turned around and said in a deep voice to the leader of the black-robed men, "Make sure to guard Him well. If there is any movement, report to me immediately."
Immediately afterward, he sternly ordered another man in black robes, "Go and inform everyone in the clan of His unusual activity."
The man in black robes nodded, and his figure instantly disappeared into the darkness.
An Chao said no more and turned to leave.
A few days later
"Lord Darkness, the Divine Son of the Nan Clan has arrived!"
The guard's voice suddenly rang out, breaking the silence in the hall.
Upon hearing this, An Chao abruptly stood up, his robes fluttering, and asked urgently, "Has he already arrived?!"
The guards hurriedly bowed and replied, "Not yet, the outer guards saw the Thundercloud Chariot."
An Chao's expression hardened, and he ordered without hesitation, "Immediately notify everyone in the clan to welcome the Nan Clan's divine son with the highest honors!"
Before long, the Thundercloud Chariot, carrying rolling thunderclouds, came to a stop above the Dark Demon Domain.
Nan Xunran looked down through the swirling clouds and saw the dense crowd below, his brows furrowing slightly.
He moved swiftly and appeared before everyone in an instant.
Upon seeing him, everyone bowed respectfully and shouted in unison, "Divine Son Xunran!"
Nan Xunran asked casually, his expression indifferent, "What is this?"
An Chao strode forward and said, "We are here to welcome you."
Nan Xunran raised an eyebrow slightly, "How did you know I would come?"
An enigmatic expression flickered across An Chao's face. "He is waiting for you."
A hint of interest flashed in Nan Xunran's eyes as his gaze seemingly casually swept over Xiao Chen in the crowd.
[Xiao Chen, the Child of Fortune]
[Young Master of the Dark Demon Domain]
[Heaven’s Mandate Points 655/1108 points]
Nan Xunran thought to himself: There are quite a few interesting things in this Dark Demon Domain. This trip is sure to be anything but uneventful.
Thinking this, he slightly tilted his head, his gaze casually falling on An Chao. "Who is He?"
An Chao shook his head slightly. "It cannot be said."
He took a deep breath and said slowly, "He wants to see you."
Nan Xunran paused briefly, then nodded slightly.
Immediately, the two figures flashed and flew into the depths of the Dark Demon Domain.
On the other side, An Ling looked at Xiao Chen, then turned to the guards and said, "Send the young master back."
As soon as she finished speaking, she ignored Xiao Chen and hurriedly left with the two of them, along with several elders.
Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, filled with resentment. An Ling could go, but he, the young master, wasn't even qualified to go?
Deep in the Dark Demon Domain Realm
Beside the pool of blood, the man in black robes once again heard His murmurs, which seemed to come from the deepest hell.
"He's more active now!"
"Go and report to the Dark Lord immediately!"
Before the words were finished, two figures appeared beside the blood pool.
An Chao's expression was solemn as he coldly said, "Alright, all of you, step back."
The man in black immediately turned and left.
Nan Xunran stepped forward, getting closer and closer to the blood pool.
In an instant, even stronger delirium resounded all around, but Nan Xunran's expression remained unchanged.
An Chao stared at the scene before him, frozen in place, utterly shocked. Even he could feel the overwhelming excitement emanating from Him.
Nan Xunran listened to the almost frantic babbling in her ear, "You're here... you've finally come... hurry..."
He frowned slightly and said calmly, "Don't make a sound."
After his casual remark, an eerie silence fell over the surroundings, as if the previously noisy murmurs had been instantly silenced by an invisible hand.
Seeing this, An Chao cautiously stepped forward and said to him, "Please drip your blood in."
Nan Xunran glanced at him indifferently, then raised her hand, and a drop of blood slowly seeped from her fingertip, dripping into the blood pool.
The moment the blood dripped in, An Chao suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and said, "Too little..."
However, he abruptly stopped before he could finish speaking.
The blood pool instantly began to churn violently, and An Chao's face was filled with disbelief. "???"
A single drop of blood can produce a reaction? Then why don't they react when so many people are bled every day?
Just then, An Ling, who had been standing far away on one side of the blood pool, was suddenly drawn towards the blood pool by an invisible force.
Ever since Nan Xunran's drop of blood was shed, she seemed to have lost her mind. The scent of that blood had an irresistible allure for her, a desire that came from the depths of her soul and made her unable to control herself.
The elders were currently doing their utmost to suppress their craving for blood.
When they saw An Ling walking towards the blood pool, they were shocked. However, they were too distracted to stop her.
Upon seeing her, An Chao hurriedly called out, "Ling'er? What's wrong?"
Nan Xunran's gaze fell on her, and seeing her state, he couldn't help but frown.
Seeing the blood seeping from Nan Xunran's fingertips, An Ling suddenly stepped forward, took his hand in her hands, opened her beautiful lips, and gently extended her tongue to touch the drop of blood.
Then, her tongue began to slowly slide along Nan Xunran's fingers, trying to completely scoop up the trace of blood into her mouth.
Her breathing became rapid, and she made muffled moaning sounds in her throat.
Nan Xunran paused in his actions and looked down at her.
The surrounding air seemed to freeze.
