Chapter 1585 - 1583: Departure
Once the Vampire Clan joins forces, the consequences will be significant.
In the battle with the Holy See years ago, although the Vampire Clan suffered heavy casualties, with even several Prince-level vampires falling, they inflicted equally severe damage on the Holy See.
In that battle, nearly all twelve Cardinals perished, and three of the four Guardian Priests were killed.
In the end, the Pope resorted to using the Power of Faith, instantly annihilating a Blood Emperor, which instilled fear in the Vampire Clan and made them abandon their attack on the Holy See.
Wang Dadong was incredibly lucky to obtain the Millennium Birch from the Holy See.
Without that pouch, he probably wouldn’t have had the chance to take Gado hostage.
The Pope’s strength is also Hermit-level, but once he utilizes the Power of Faith, his combat power is unimaginable.
That’s divine power accumulated over countless years, and although no one knows how strong it truly is, according to Wang Dadong’s calculations, the Pope’s full use of the Power of Faith would put him close to reaching the Void Tier, even if not quite there.
Fortunately, the Power of Faith can only be extensively used within the Holy See, otherwise, the Pope would be invincible.
Aside from the Pope, the four Guardian Priests can also use the Power of Faith, but the outcome was merely mutual destruction, highlighting how terrifying the Vampire Clan can be when united.
However, fortunately, the Vampire Clan members are independent and usually keep to themselves, so it takes time to gather their forces. Despite being termed as undying creatures, vampires still have a lifespan, though theirs is countless times longer than that of ordinary people.
As they age, vampires grow stronger, but their lifespan also edges closer to its limit.
To live longer, once a vampire reaches the Blood Emperor-level, they need to put themselves into a semi-withered state to extend their lifespan.
After all, a Blood Emperor-level vampire’s power can rival that of a Half-step Supreme.
If they die, it would be an immense loss for the Vampire Clan.
Much like Nicholas Dracula of today’s Dracula Family, who maintains a semi-withered state for years, only emerging in times of significant family crises.
If not for this, Wang Dadong wouldn’t stand a chance of going to the Snow Mountain in search of the Ten Thousand Year Frost this time.
"Don’t worry, Boss, we’ll definitely ensure your wife’s safety." Jun Tianzui indicated Wang Dadong shouldn’t be concerned.
Hell has now produced a large number of wooden war blades, pistols, machine guns, and crossbow arrows capable of firing wooden bullets, and even specially crafted wooden stake grenades.
As long as not too many Ancestor Level vampires attack at once, they pose no threat to Hell.
"Hmm, has the Krypton Gold Battle Armor been produced yet?" Wang Dadong asked.
"Yes, it’s been produced."
"Alright, find an opportunity to take it to your sister-in-law."
...
Leaving the secret base of Hell, Wang Dadong finally felt at ease.
The detailed arrangement was because he wasn’t sure if the Snow Mountain journey would go smoothly, especially since the Battle God Temple is claimed to be one of the most mysterious organizations today.
At 8 PM, Wang Dadong arrived punctually at Jiangdu Airport.
After waiting for about ten minutes, Qin Xue appeared in his line of sight, dragging a pink suitcase.
Today, Qin Xue had changed out of her business attire, wearing a T-shirt that exposed her navel and a pair of slim white pants, with a scarf draped over her shoulders. Her waved hair casually fell over her left shoulder, and she wore large sunglasses, presenting a casual look that was devoid of her usual ice-cold CEO aura but full of youthful vitality.
Upon seeing Wang Dadong, Qin Xue immediately took off her sunglasses and happily ran over with her pink suitcase.
Wang Dadong quickly went over and took the suitcase from Qin Xue’s hand.
Wang Dadong didn’t have a suitcase but a military backpack, as he was heading to the Peak of the Snow Mountain, where a suitcase would be unsuitable.
As for Qin Xue’s belongings, they would find a way to manage them later.
"Dadong, where are you going on your business trip? Is my attire okay?" Qin Xue unconsciously linked arms with Wang Dadong and asked, tilting her head.
"It’s a secret, you’ll know eventually." Wang Dadong smiled without revealing.
If Qin Xue knew he was taking her to the Snow Mountain now, she might very well refuse to go.
After all, Mu Ming had said that the place was extremely dangerous, and even Hermit-level beings couldn’t guarantee complete safety.
Thus, Wang Dadong carried the backpack and pulled the suitcase, while Qin Xue held on to his arm, looking just like a couple about to embark on a vacation.
"Xiao Xue, aren’t you worried about leaving the company to Pei Xi directly? What if she messes it up?" Wang Dadong hadn’t expected Qin Xue to follow him unhesitatingly without much inquiry, leaving the whole company aside.
"I trust Pei Xi’s capabilities, and so what if she messes it up? If I end up without money, I’ll just have you support me." Qin Xue chuckled lightly.
"Uh, but I also don’t have any money. Aren’t you afraid of ending up living under a bridge with me?" Wang Dadong teased.
Qin Xue suddenly walked to face Wang Dadong directly, looked him in the eye, then stood on tiptoe and placed a gentle kiss on his cheek, saying, "I’ve decided to be with you without even wanting a title, what’s there to fear about living under a bridge?"
Hearing Qin Xue’s words, Wang Dadong’s face lit up with joy, wondering if Qin Xue was willing to coexist peacefully with Lin Shiyan.
If the two women kept opposing each other, there would never be a chance for reconciliation, and if the situation ever got exposed, it would be hard to resolve.
But if one was willing to compromise, resolving it would be much easier.
Wang Dadong cast a surprised glance at Qin Xue, saying, "Xiao Xue, you, don’t mind Little Yan?"
Qin Xue sighed and said, "I do mind, but does it help? Would you give her up for me?"
Wang Dadong paused, gently shook his head.
His bond with Lin Shiyan was incredibly deep, and he wouldn’t give up on her, even at the cost of his life.
Seeing Wang Dadong shake his head, Qin Xue pouted slightly, saying, "Can’t you at least pretend to reassure me, do you have to be so honest?"
Wang Dadong cupped Qin Xue’s fair cheek with his hand, softly saying, "Xiao Xue, it’s not that I don’t want to reassure you, but I won’t give up on Little Yan, just as I won’t give up on you."
"Alright, don’t be so serious. I’m already very satisfied with the current outcome. If it comes down to it, I’ll just be your lifelong lover." Qin Xue grabbed Wang Dadong’s hand, pressing it more firmly against her face, revealing a nonchalant expression.
