As one of the thirteen clans of the Blood Clan, the Payin clan has the broadest and deepest influence in the Empire of Night.
It's not because of strength, but because of history.
Although the Payin clan gave birth to the sixth true ancestor, that happened long after the upper clan's seat was determined.
The influence of the Payin clan was long before the birth of the Sixth True Ancestor - because the seat occupied by the Payin clan was the seat with the least change of power.
Ever since the Payin clan came to power, they have always held this seat. Even after the Sixth True Ancestor returned to Blood River, his position has not been shaken.
Because there are fewer turnovers, the Payin clan prides itself on being the blood clan closest to the first ancestor. Therefore, when facing other upper-level clans, they can't help but show an arrogant side close to the original blood lineage.
For this reason, the Payin clan is the most hostile to the three major clans, Crescent Moon, Yongdian, and Yexi. They believe that their appearance has polluted the pure river of blood, so they have always been the main force in suppressing the three clans.
The two major clans, Yong An and Ye Xi, were successfully suppressed, but the Crescent Clan rose up strongly. No matter how unwilling the Payin Clan was, they could only lie dormant because of lack of strength and interfere with the Queen of Night's decrees through the parliament.
After discovering that the number of supporters in the parliament was gradually decreasing, the Payin clan had to unite with the Nole, Bet and Jhamis clans to form the "Demon Party" to deal with the Queen of the Night's erosion of the [Blood Parliament] and maintain the nobility of the blood clan. of pure blood.
They were angry at the neutrality of the Vian, Olevi, and Aiden clans; they felt powerless at the division of the West Asia and Ganglon clans; they hated the Queen of the Night even more.
In order to maintain the purity of the blood river, they tried one method after another, just to oust the Queen of the Night from the throne and prevent the vampire's orthodoxy from being polluted by acquired seeds.
Payne Manor, castle.
Listening to the ancient bells ringing from the window, Lucian Payin, the silver-haired patriarch of the Payin clan, sat expressionlessly on the imitation blood throne. His knuckles on the armrests on both sides gradually Relax.
As the clan responsible for the western defense line of the Night Empire, he had received the information that Oakley Payin was killed in battle. He was originally in a bad mood but relaxed after hearing the bell.
If nothing else, the Wolf Ancestor has already succeeded, so the bell will ring just now, in order to deal with unexpected changes.
Everything is proceeding according to the pre-planned plan. The next step is to go to Blood Moon City to host the [Blood Parliament], while criticizing the Crescent Clan, integrate the power of the Empire of Night, and then sit on the real Throne of Blood.
Although the Fourth True Ancestor and the Eighth True Ancestor are still alive today, the clan they represent does not have as much influence in the parliament as the Payin clan, and he is already certain of winning the throne.
"Damn acquired species..." Lucian's bloody eyes flashed with ferocity. He did not regret this cooperation with the werewolf. The Queen of the Night was their common enemy, and only the pure blood he represented could make the night The empire is more glorious than it is now!
After thinking this, Lucian slowly stood up and walked down the steps. In the bloody light rising from the soles of his feet, his clothes changed into a dress with red as the main color and purple as the secondary color.
This time I went to the [Blood Parliament], and I was the second king of the Payin clan to sit on the Blood Throne.
When he came to the wall and stopped, Lucian raised his hand to reach for the blood-red sword hanging on the wall.
The name of the long sword is [Twilight], which comes from the first ancestor, the vampire's magical weapon with the same name as [Twin Flowers of the Other Side].
Just as his right hand grasped the scabbard and took off the sword, before putting his hand down, the classic red door was suddenly pushed open violently. Lucian immediately turned his head and stared indifferently at the figure who rushed in unruly.
"Torston, you..."
However, before he finished speaking, Toston said in a panic: "Reno was repulsed by Her Majesty the Queen!"
Click!
The [Twilight] in his hand almost lost its grip and fell to the red carpet on the floor. Lucian's expression was dull for a moment, and then he raised his voice a little rudely: "What did you say?!"
Toston hurriedly knelt on the ground and repeated: "Reno went to Blood Moon City alone. Her Majesty the Queen was already prepared to use [Higanbana] to severely injure Reno, and Reno fled back to the Star Tribe!"
Listening to Toston's voice, Lucian swayed, and the first thought came to his mind: his throne... is gone!
"Why?" The next second, Lucian looked at Toston with a ferocious face: "Isn't she in the City in the Sky? Didn't that old guy Renault say that she was indeed trapped in the City in the Sky? Why did she appear in the City in the Sky? Blood Moon City?”
Toston, who was kneeling on the ground, did not speak. Taking the throne back from the acquired vampires was a plan that started a few weeks ago. The most critical core point of this plan is that Her Majesty the Queen cannot rush back to the Empire of Night.
As long as she can't come back, she will surely win the throne by cooperating with the Star Tribe and expel Xinyue, Yong Dark and Ye Xi from the upper clans.
But now...
"Lord Lucian." Toston raised his head and looked at the rude patriarch: "Now Her Majesty the Queen has convened the [Blood Parliament], and no one is allowed to be absent."
There was only an echo from the bell outside the window. Lucian, who was holding Dusk tightly, sighed: "Do you think she knows that I have a connection with Renault?"
Toston hesitated and said: "Lord Lucian, I think it is not important whether you know about this matter or not. The original action against Hill Crescent was also led by you... I believe Her Majesty the Queen is also aware of this. .”
"Now that Hill Crescent has awakened, Reno's confident action was aborted at the beginning. According to Lord Amber in Blood Moon City, even Reno, who finally transformed, is no match for Her Majesty the Queen."
"Her Majesty the Queen is already much stronger than she was back then."
Listening to Toston's voice, Lucian silently stared at the [Twilight] in his hand. How could he not know this?
But it was still difficult for him to accept that he had actually reached this dead end.
What else can you use to fight against Christia Crescent?
"You go for me." Lucian hesitated and handed the [Twilight] in his hand to Toston with difficulty: "Give [Twilight] to her, and consider her to have won this round. The Payin clan Sooner or later, I will win back everything I lost today!"
Toston did not pick him up, but said: "Lord Lucien, you are one of the deputy speakers. If you are not present, Her Majesty the Queen will definitely deprive you of your qualifications as deputy speaker. Without the protection of this layer of identity, Her Majesty the Queen will Will kill you."
"Even if there was, wouldn't he kill him?" Lucian laughed at himself, took a deep breath and walked out with [Twilight]: "I'll go to Blood Moon City first. You go find him and see if he has any any solution."
Having said this, Lucian paused and turned to look at the back of Toston's head: "Have you caught the bug that sneaked into the manor before?"
"No."
"The bug doesn't know 'his' secret, right?"
"Shouldn't..."
"Should?" Lucian smiled noncommittally: "Forget it, bugs are just bugs, let's solve the immediate problem first."
"What if..." Lucian took another step and walked out, with murderous intent in his eyes: "If something happens to me, go find Oguqi... kill him, kill all those who try to kill Christie Ya presents the loyal betrayer.”
"The pure bloodline brought by our ancestors must not be loyal to those inferior acquired hybrids!"
Oguqi Payin, the leader of the Queen's Faction of the Payin Clan, and the other vampires of the Queen's Faction most of the time live in another manor to the south.
"As commanded."
After Lucian Payin's footsteps disappeared, Toston stood up slowly. As one of the five princes of the Payin clan, he had been holding a position similar to that of a steward, so he knew most of the secrets of the Payin clan.
He naturally knew who the 'he' that Lord Lucian was talking about, so he was very hesitant at this time. After all, 'he' was a dangerous existence.
It's not the danger of strength, but the danger of identity.
But now, this is the only method left to try.
Turning around and walking out of the castle, Toston looked at Lord Lucian and other members of the clan who were walking away. After hesitating for a moment, he turned and walked towards the back of the manor.
Arriving at the lawn covered with bloody thorns and vines, Toston glanced left and right, and then recited an ancient vampire spell. The thorns and vines on the ground spread to the left and right, revealing a door.
A door sealed by super-level forbidden magic.
Toston calmly unlocked the forbidden spell and walked towards the opened underground passage. His figure gradually disappeared into the bottomless stairs. The door closed again. The forbidden spell was restored and the vines once again covered this little-known underground passage. .
Not long after Toston entered the underground passage, a figure with silver hair and blood-stained eyes and a striped tiger tail walked out of the space, silently staring at the underground passage covered by thorns and vines, as if thinking about how to enter. in.
In mid-air, Su Yuchen frowned slightly as he looked at the figure who could also use space magic to a certain extent. He found that the temperament of this hybrid woman who looked like a human, an animal and a vampire was a bit familiar.
After thinking for a moment, he knew who this woman looked like—the animal-eared hybrid woman who took over the mysterious department of the Sky City Amusement Park!
The same magic wave that resembles both a sage and a demon king.
'Mu Lingyan's men. '
Su Yuchen instantly determined the identity of the woman in front of him. Recalling the conversation between Lucian and Toston that he had just overheard, some of Su Yuchen's doubts were solved.
The 'taboo' that appeared in the Empire of Night was related to the Payin clan, which was what the mixed-race woman in front of him reported to Mu Lingyan, otherwise he would not have appeared here.
The secret in the underground passage is the 'taboo'.
Thinking of this, a smile flashed in Su Yuchen's eyes, and he came into contact with the 'taboo' faster than Mu Lingyan.
Mu Lingyan knew that there was a 'taboo' here, but she didn't know the specifics of the 'taboo', otherwise the mixed-race woman in front of her would not continue to come here to try to collect information.
"Invite me to a party on Christmas Eve. You'll find out when you go..." Su Yuchen smiled: "You just don't accuse me of having a relationship with the Payin clan. It's really stingy, but I'm luckier."
"Raoruo, can you go in quietly?" Su Yuchen turned to look at Bai Raoruo. There was a big cat beside him that ignored space.
"It's a trivial matter, meow~" Rao Rao wagged his tail happily. Whenever he could help his master, it was a happy thing.
"Awesome." Su Yuchen pinched Rao Rao's face, wondering what Mu Lingyan would give him in exchange for it after this time.
"Then let's go."
"Wait a moment and let Rao Rao determine the direction first..."
