20 Head sho (1/2)
”Blood? Why is there blood here? Was he injured during cultivation?”
A servant from the Xun Family entered the training room to clean up and saw a bloodstain on the floor.
Nero had already absorbed all of Wei Ping's blood and had already left the house towards the Dai Family mansion.
It was afternoon, and the sun was still shining. The Xun Family house was very busy with people walking around. Some people very nervous thinking about what could happen, and others just nervous to see others anxious.
In the living room with a big fireplace, the most concerned people were gathered.
”How can you let him go alone?” Xun Lan very concerned asked her father.
”What do you want me to do? He killed Wei Ping alone and you that I, a Qi Refinement sixth-layer cultivator, can tell him what to do?” Xun He understood his daughter because he was also concerned about Nero. He was a possible great ally for his family, so Xun He didn't want him to die in vain.
”And you, elder Xiong? Isn't he already your disciple? Can't you just tell him not to risk himself in that stupid way?” Xun Lan then tried to convince Xiong Zhelan to do something about it, but he was too focused on looking at the fireplace with a thoughtful look.
”Stay calm, sister. He was already so strong before, and now that he has risen a layer, it will not be difficult to end the Dai Family without Wei Ping and Dai Dong's Wife.” Xun Feng tried to give some comfort to his sister, who seemed to be having a panic attack.
”Yes, I think he won't be in trouble, but I still wanted to follow him at least if something goes wrong.” Xun He wanted to make sure that the Dai Family would fall today and would have followed Nero even without his consent if it weren't for Xiong Zhelan to tell him not to go.
”Do you remember how Nero knew that we were watching him even though we were far away and in the shadows? He has powerful senses, and what if we follow him against his will, and he turns against us?”
Xiong Zhelan still didn't understand how Nero could know about them even though he made a layer of Qi to block sight and sound. It wouldn't be difficult for someone focused on tracking or someone stronger than him to discover his cover. But Nero was just a young man at the Qi Refinement early-stage.
”He's so mysterious...” Zhu Tai envied Nero's talent and strength. But he could only blame himself for just being an assistant. Maybe he could learn something from Nero and become an Elder's disciple in the sect.
Zhu Tai appeared to be young, but he was already thirty years old and was still in the fourth layer. He was lucky to be able to follow Xiong Zhelan as an assistant. If not, he would still be working as a simple servant in the Black Sword Sect's external court.
”I hope he is OK...” Xun Lan had many thoughts now. She thought about Nero's safety, but she also thought about the Dai Family. They were her usual enemies, but now that they were about to be attacked, she didn't know how to feel.
Xun Lan thought of Dai Zhi, who was her rival. They always competed for everything, but Xun Lan didn't think Dai Zhi was evil or cruel person. And Dai Jingyi, who was still so young. A good, young girl who never hurt her. Xun Lan really started to feel bad for them, unlike her father, who was looking forward to the Dai Family ceasing to exist.
”Die because of a non-human. Isn't Nero taking this too far?” Not only Xun Lan but everyone there thought so too.
But the main people involved in the case were not there thinking that way.
Marie rested in a deep sleep, dreaming of the touch of a particular 'last vampire.'
And Nero. He was walking the streets now deserted because everyone in the city already knew what was happening. Rumors fly even faster when it comes to large families like Dai and Xun.

”Shit! Shit! SHIT!” Dai Jingyi circled the main room at the Dai Family mansion.
”Argh, was he already coming?” Dai Dong asked in a bad mood. Since Wei Ping's death, he was not at all well.
”They said he left the Xun Family's home.” Dai Zhi also spoke in a bad mood. She didn't understand how things got so bad. Dai Zhi thought that Nero was her charming prince, and they would go to the Black Sword Sect together. But now he was coming to her home to kill her entire family, including her.

”This has to be a nightmare. Yes, this is a nightmare! It doesn't make sense for him to kill me for a non-human!” Dai Zhi was in a panic, saying random things.
She was not accustomed to things, not being her way. Everyone, including her younger sister, always has spoiled dai Zhi. Despite being very smart and talented, she didn't know how to deal with negative things.
”You still don't understand what you did? You, my dear sister, hurt someone significant to someone very protective. Now he won't rest until you suffer ten more times.” Dai Jingyi exclaimed, looking at Dai Zhi with a look from a mother scolding her daughter. When Dai Zhi tried to say 'but,' she continued the talk.
”And to finish, Wei Ping hurt her even more. It has nothing to do with her being non-human, but it has to do with Nero being brutal and merciless. I said we couldn't do anything else, and we had to get out of this city.”
When Dai Jingyi heard the first about a beautiful young man with white hair, she didn't think much about it because it seemed just her sister finding her first love. He was supposed to be a handsome boy and maybe a little talented, but he shouldn't have any problems, but then she heard about a non-human being his slave.
Dai Jingyi found the story her sister told her very strangely. A boy who lived in the forest with his grandfather and a non-human. She wanted to alert her sister, but then it happened that this same young man came to their house and killed Wei Ping. At that time, Dai Jingyi knew that Nero was just trouble.
Then Dai Jingyi saw the look that Nero gave her sister before he left. Also, he said that he would return to solve previous problems. Dai Jingyi was sure he wanted hurt Dai Zhi. But there was no chance for her and her family to let Nero do anything with Dai Zhi. Dai Jingyi thought that the family had to protect themselves at any cost.
Dai Jingyi begged her father to leave the city and try to escape and hide for a while. She was sure that a person talented as Nero would not stay in the town for long, and Elder Xiong had already said that he would take him as a disciple.
But Dai Dong did not want to leave the city. He says that they have no chance in the north in the mountains or the south. Dai dong said that Xiong Zhelan would not interfere as the Black Sword Sect's reputation was to be impartial above all. And since Nero couldn't defeat them all alone, they were not at risk except for the Xun Family.
Dai Dong was confident that Xun He would honor the non-aggression pact so Nero could do nothing against them. So they didn't run away, as Dai Jingyi suggested.
