"What's going on?" Yin Xuege spread his Natal Bat Wings and hovered in the air twenty miles away from Government Hill, staring blankly at the silver-black dense fog that covered a ten-mile radius in front of him.

Six beams of golden light pierced the sky, penetrating the clouds high above. Within the golden light, six golden pagodas could be seen faintly. Near each golden pagoda, dozens of golden immortal scripts the size of water tanks rotated slowly. These immortal scripts seemed to be cast from glaze, flowing with colorful light like ice plates, emitting a majestic, domineering, and unyielding aura that made it impossible to look directly at them.

Yin Xuege merely glanced at an immortal script near a golden pagoda, and his heart fluttered, his blood and qi surged backward, and blood dripped uncontrollably from his nostrils. The power contained within this immortal script was vast, grand, solemn, and righteous, radiating an irresistible brilliance like the sun. It was precisely the nemesis of the Yin Clan's cold and sinister demonic energy.

Even a mere glance from afar had triggered the terrifying power contained within the immortal script, causing all of Yin Xuege's bodily functions to become chaotic.

He hurriedly lowered his head, coughed heavily, and a large amount of bloody foam spurted from his throat. He couldn't help but feel a surge of horror. What were these six golden pagodas and the silver-black mist? This power was utterly lawless!

In the breeze, the eight Great Stewards of the Yin Clan, assigned to assist Yin Xuege, simultaneously spread their Natal Bat Wings and appeared beside him. They vigilantly formed a circle to protect Yin Xuege, then cursed in low voices with grim expressions.

"This is a formation from the Eastern Cultivation World, Young Master Xuege. We don't understand the way of breaking formations, so we cannot approach. Otherwise, there will be immense danger!"

The Yin Clan divides its members into generations based on the eight characters: "Heaven and Earth Limitless, Blood Sea Universe." The "Blood Sea Universe" generations are not to be mentioned. Yin Xuege is a Young Disciple of the clan, and currently, there are only a little over a hundred Young Disciples of the "Sea" generation in the clan.

Among the four generations of "Heaven and Earth Limitless," the Extreme Generation Yin Clan members are responsible for the clan's daily affairs and hold real power. They are constantly activating their Blood Demon bloodline and mastering their newly comprehended Blood Demon secret techniques. They have only learned a few of the Yin Clan's signature lightning techniques and have not had enough time to study and comprehend the knowledge of the Eastern Cultivation World.

The Nameless Generation Yin Clan members have fully mastered their awakened Blood Demon secret techniques and are in their golden age of rapid strength advancement. Therefore, the Nameless Generation Yin Clan members remain in seclusion for years, wholeheartedly accumulating strength to seek breakthroughs, and thus also lack the leisure time to delve into the myriad mysteries of the Eastern Cultivation World.

In the Yin Clan, only the Heaven Generation Elders, who originated from the Eastern Cultivation World themselves, are familiar with various secret arts such as formations and alchemy. And only the Earth Generation Clan Elders, who are in a period of stable strength growth and possess long lifespans, and are not burdened by miscellaneous clan affairs, thus have ample time to learn various divine methods of the cultivation world!

However, when the great formation was activated just now, many Heaven Generation Elders and Earth Generation Elders of the Yin Clan around Yin Tianjue were swept up by the dense fog generated by the formation, and all of them were trapped within the formation. This directly led to the situation where, although there were many experts among the Yin Clan members left outside, they were completely ignorant of the way of Eastern formations and could only stare dumbfounded at the great formation.

"Can't you Great Stewards see through this 'formation' at all?" Yin Xuege gripped the Blood Spirit Sword tightly, the veins on his forehead throbbing rapidly. Yin Tianjue and other clan elders were trapped in the great formation, and Farnburg, along with a large number of Stuttgart Family experts, were also caught up in it. If anything happened to them, the Yin Clan army attacking Great Berlin City-State might be annihilated!

Six muffled thunderclaps sounded in succession. Within that misty fog, eighteen banners, wrapped in dense smoke and mist, suddenly shot into the sky. As soon as these banners appeared, countless wisps of smoke, like octopus tentacles, whistled out in all directions.

Before Yin Xuege and the others could react, dozens of silver-black smoke tendrils, as thick as arms, wrapped around their bodies. An irresistible force surged, forcibly dragging them and engulfing them in the rapidly expanding mist.

This mist suddenly expanded outwards to nearly a hundred miles, and then rapidly contracted inwards. Tens of thousands of Yin Clan Warriors and Blood Servant soldiers who had already attacked near Government Hill, including Yin Xuege, were all drawn into the great formation.

After a period of dizziness and disorientation, Yin Xuege felt his body sink. He suddenly appeared in a clear and moist land. The sky was filled with silver clouds, and strange light shone from behind the clouds. This light shone upon Yin Xuege, and the heavy, sharp light felt like a mountain of knives pressing down, causing him immense pain. At the same time, his bones creaked under the pressure.

Beneath Yin Xuege's feet was a silver-black mist about a foot high. The continuous mist spread for over a hundred miles, and all the Yin Clan members and Blood Servant Army soldiers who were drawn into the great formation gathered in this space, suppressed by the light emanating from behind the clouds.

The sealed armor of hundreds of Yin Clan members cracked under the immense force. This clear, wave-like light shone through the gaps onto their bodies, and their bodies rapidly burst into flames. Accompanied by ear-piercing screams, hundreds of Yin Clan members rolled on the ground, burning, and the smell of cooked flesh quickly permeated the air.

High in the sky, six colossal golden pagodas, thousands of meters tall, floated in the clouds. These pagodas were thirteen stories high, octagonal, and each eave was adorned with a golden bell. Drops of golden rain, like necklaces, fell from the bells. Any Yin Clan Warrior touched by this golden light let out a scream, and their bodies quickly ignited with golden flames.

Countless bronze-colored sharp blades pierced back and forth from all directions. Accompanied by sharp tearing sounds, large amounts of blood sprayed into the air. These blades flew at extreme speeds and were incredibly sharp. The armor and shields of the Yin Clan Warriors could not withstand the attacks of these blades at all. Large numbers of Blood Servant soldiers fell like wheat stalks, cut into pieces by the blades.

Beneath each golden pagoda stood a person. Three men and three women stood beneath the six golden pagodas. Among them, a beautiful woman in a red robe was Fainlan, whom Yin Xuege recognized. However, he did not recognize the other five individuals dressed in exceptionally ornate court attire, with powdered faces, and who, even the men, had sprayed a large amount of perfume and applied lipstick.

Yin Tianjue and Yin Tianmie, the brothers, along with three other Yin Clan Elders, floated in the air. Their massive Natal Bat Wings spread out, releasing a thick blood mist barrier that protected thousands of Yin Clan members who had been drawn into the great formation, helping to offset a large portion of the formation's killing power.

However, the suppression and killing power of this great formation were too immense. Even with the combined efforts of the five Yin Clan Elders, they could only shield a little more than half of those drawn into the formation. The other tens of thousands of Blood Servant soldiers were completely disregarded. They were slaughtered like pigs and dogs. Judging by the speed of the piercing blades, they would all be killed within half an hour!

As soon as Yin Xuege was drawn into the great formation, Farnburg flashed to his side. With a grim expression, Farnburg looked up at the six golden pagodas and sighed heavily. "With my strength, I can only barely break open a gap in this great formation! Perhaps I can lead you to escape smoothly, but your newly accepted Bloodline Son, and your clansmen, can only fend for themselves!"

His crimson pupils quickly swept over Yin Tianjue and the five Yin Clan Elders. Farnburg quickly lowered his voice.

"Those five little guys might also have someone with enough strength to forcefully break open a gap! But it's impossible to completely break open this great formation and let so many Yin Clan members escape! Your Yin Clan's scheme this time has failed. These guys from the East are really not to be trifled with!"

Yin Xuege looked at Farnburg in surprise. The old man's tone didn't carry much worry or panic; instead, it was filled with an eager excitement of encountering a worthy opponent. He grabbed Farnburg's wide robe and said in a low voice, "Your Highness Prince Farnburg, you must have a better way, right? Don't deny it, because your tone has betrayed you!"

"Damn it!" Farnburg patted his pale forehead with some helplessness, then gave a wry smile. "If I had known it would be like this, I shouldn't have integrated a part of my life experience and memories into the vital blood I passed down to you! Perhaps I have a way, but it would cause me considerable damage. I'm considering whether it's worth doing!"

While Farnburg was rapidly discussing with Yin Xuege here, Fainlan's incredibly triumphant laughter suddenly echoed.

"Welcome, esteemed guests! Let me guess, what are the identities of the five distinguished guests? Are you members of the Yin Clan's most ancient evil beings? What a glorious victory for all of humanity to be able to eliminate five ancient evil beings at once!"

Yin Tianjue's face was stern, and his gaze was dark as he looked at Fainlan. Two-foot-long sharp nails extended from his ten fingers, like blades. The nails moved without wind, emitting crisp ringing sounds. His eyes flashed with blood-red light, and Yin Tianjue coldly shouted, "Woman, how did you know we were coming?"

Fainlan stood up triumphantly. Holding a banner, she lightly waved it, and thousands of sword lights instantly materialized in the sky, their tips simultaneously locking onto Yin Tianjue's body. Her already full bosom pushed out even further, and she let out continuous, smug laughter.

"Who told you, a mere little vampire, to escape from our Blood Prison? And he happened to meet our most esteemed guests! Greedy vampires, as soon as you catch the scent of any 'profit,' you'll pounce like wolves! So we've been prepared for your attack for a long time. Don't you recognize the five Grand Arbiters from the Milan City-State?" (To be continued)
