Chapter 313: 188 I am honest and trustworthy, I will help you if I say I will! (Second update! 6000 words! Daily minimum!)

Wayne and the others hadn’t expected that this Vampire Duke was actually one of the Taoist priests’ "second dogs."

Since he was a "second dog," he was not an enemy.

At that moment, the Vampire Duke said, "Taoist Jing Xuan, according to our previous agreement, I have led you to find the ancient castle of the Bruch Clan. Now, it’s time for you to help me obtain the Prince Power within the clan!"

Before setting off, the Vampire Duke had agreed with the priests that he would lead them.

After capturing the Bruch Clan, Taoist Jing Xuan and the others were to help this Vampire Duke obtain the Prince Power within the clan.

Taoist Jing Xuan nodded, "Duke sir, rest assured, since it is something we have promised, we will fulfill it. Lead the way."

To obtain the Prince Power within the Blood Clan, they had to go to the Blood Clan Temple of the Bruch Clan.

This Vampire Duke, who had been a prince hundreds of years ago and had received the family power inheritance, knew exactly where the temple was.

After leading Taoist Jing Xuan and the others into the ancient castle,

they found a mechanism in the great hall; upon activating it, a passageway appeared before them, leading to the Blood Clan Temple underground.

Following the Vampire Duke into the castle’s underground,

a dark chamber appeared before them with a blood-colored door.

Above the door were exquisite carvings of various patterns,

many of which related to vampire legends.

There were also records and spells of the True Ancestor and the Blood Emperor.

The Vampire Duke said, "Inside here is the Blood Clan Temple, but I cannot open this door; it has a Blood Lock from the Blood Emperor."

Each major clan has its own Blood Clan Temple, accessible only to Vampire Dukes who are to receive the Prince Power inheritance.

There are two ways to enter.

First, be recognized by the Blood Emperor and use the Blood Emperor’s Power to unlock and enter.

Second, use a force not inferior to the Blood Emperor’s Power to forcefully break the Blood Lock and enter.

The first method was definitely not viable; the Blood Emperor would have to be insane to unlock it and let Taoist Jing Xuan and the others enter.

So the only option was to use force.

Use a force not inferior to the Blood Emperor’s Power to break the lock.

At this moment, Wayne walked up to Taoist Jing Xuan and asked, "Taoist priest, must we really help this vampire? If it obtains the Prince Power, it won’t be good!"

Wayne was concerned; the priests had only just dealt with one Bloodline Prince, and now they were about to create another, which was not good.

Although the Vampire Duke was currently a "second dog," who could guarantee that once out of the Taoist’s control, he would not cause trouble?

While slaying demons, they must not create new ones!

Taoist Jing Xuan said, "Supreme Heavenly Venerate, laymen, we who cultivate the Way prize honesty and keeping promises. If we have promised someone, we must see it through; without trust, how are we different from demons?"

The priests had always been known for keeping their word, and immediately, he stepped forward.

He spat out a sword pill and struck the Blood Lock on the door with his sword.

"Clang!"

Under Taoist Jing Xuan’s full-force strike, the Blood Lock cracked, but it did not open completely.

Taoist Jing Xuan frowned slightly.

He took out a talisman and affixed it to the Spirit Sword.

The next moment, the Spirit Sword burst forth with divine light as its spirituality surged.

Taoist Jing Xuan struck with his sword again.

This time, under the slash, the Blood Lock fell apart and dissolved into a wisp of blood smoke, vanishing into the air.

The Blood Lock was opened.

The Vampire Duke’s face immediately revealed an excitement he could hardly hide.

He waved his arm, and the temple doors swung open.

Inside the vast subterranean temple, a Divine Altar was cast directly in front of them.

Floating above the altar was a football-sized blood-colored Crystal Stone.

The power stored within that Crystal Stone was the Prince Power of the Bruch Clan.

The Bloodline Prince Blood Crystal of the Blood Clan must be fed with the Essence Blood of all vampires in the clan each month.

Every five hundred years a charge would be completed.

Each time the charge was completed, Prince Power would be born within.

With the enhancement of the Prince Power, a vampire clan could produce a Prince.

Hundreds of years had passed since the last Blood Crystal charge-up.

Now, the energy within the Crystal Stone was sufficient for it to elevate to Prince status.

The Vampire Duke caressed the Prince Blood Crystal with intoxicated affection.

Hundreds of years!

Living in a foreign land, daydreaming day and night, all for the purpose of regaining the power within the Prince Blood Crystal.

Now, the Prince Blood Crystal lay before him.

The Vampire Duke could not wait to absorb it.

Plunging his hands into the Blood Crystal,

he greedily began to Devour the power within the Prince Blood Crystal.

Then, those present witnessed a frenzied scene within the temple, atop the altar, where the Vampire Duke was madly devouring the Prince Power.

Countless blood-red strands flowed from the Prince Blood Crystal into the body of the Vampire Duke.

The Bloodline Duke’s aura rose with the devouring of the strands from within the Blood Crystal.

Growing stronger and stronger,

until at last, he reached a critical point.

A tremendous transformation occurred.

The vampire changed!

Becoming even more powerful.

The Blood Clan power within him reached a Peak state.

"Prince!"

Wayne once again sensed the Prince Power he had just recently felt from the last Bloodline Prince.

This vampire had now become a Prince as well.

And with the Vampire Duke’s advancement to Prince,

all the energy within the Prince Blood Crystal was Devoured, leaving it dull and dimmed.

When the next charge-up could be completed was anyone’s guess.

On the altar, the newly ascended Prince Vampire let out a satisfied laugh.
