Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 1262 - 43: No Survivors Beneath the Bodhisattva’s Blade
Mason von Kuldra, the vampire prince, was said to be a formidable hero.
After relocating the family to the Far East, he managed Xiangjiang for a century. Whether pirates or British, changing flags on the city walls never affected the Kuldra family’s core fortunes.
Until thirty years ago, Mason suffered grave injuries and fell into slumber.
As for how he got injured, don’t ask too much.
Now, this prince is awakening, and the various factions within the family have differing thoughts about it.
It’s like the Emperor’s harem, where new nuns entering the palace aspire to rise, wishing the old women would all perish. A neglected concubine wants to stir things up, seeking to ally with newcomers for shared advancement and retreat. Those having children aim to compete for heirship, while those favored but childless want to abort others’ pregnancies.
And those flirting with the Imperial Physician, or secretly involved with a Commandery Prince...
A thousand faces and complex circumstances.
The castle built by the Kuldra family is concealed in the eastern part of Taiping Mountain, although externally it’s not called by this name—outsiders only know it as Victoria Mansion.
Going further north reaches the bustling areas of Xiangjiang City, Brother Haonan’s Copper Gong Bay isn’t far from this place.
At this moment, smoke is everywhere in the city, with fire scorching high at the town hall entrance.
Standing on the mountain, one can see an unknown fleet that suddenly arrived controlling the entire sea, with all the ships of the Wokou Pirates shattered and sunk to the ocean floor feeding fish.
It seems the situation has been brought under control.
Through the smoke, Li Mumu saw all the cause and effect lines pointing to Victoria Mansion.
This is abnormal.
Normal cause and effect lines should form a web, interfering with each other and leading in different directions.
Thus, causality is hard to clarify—some things are sufficient but unnecessary, while others are necessary but insufficient.
When all cause and effect lines converge, like an accounting monkey—the flat peaches from Flat Peach Garden are all consumed by him; the elixirs from the old sage’s furnace are also taken by him; the names in the Book of Life and Death in the Underworld are all altered by him.
The final interpretation rests with the Great Sage Equalling Heaven.
Such tales are for entertainment, never to be taken seriously.
Clearly, someone is manipulating causality behind the scenes.
Of course, from an ordinary person’s perspective, there is no concept of causality, let alone understanding what a cause and effect line is.
The cloudless sky is very unfriendly to vampires.
At this moment, internal strife would result in heavy losses for both sides.
A careless moment could lead to exposure without magical protection, rendering one to ash under sunlight.
Yet, this did not deter the resolve for a violent showdown.
Outside Victoria Mansion, there’s also a ground covered with ruins and the corpses of various servants enslaved by vampires.
Only blood servants with impure lineage have a chance to leave bodies behind; true vampires combust to ashes under sunlight at death.
The traces of battle spread into the mansion’s interior, showing how both sides fought with increasing fervor, eventually resorting to heavy weaponry, making the originally intricate garden villa torn apart.
Someone wrote on the wall with blood, "Do not approach!"
Obviously, no one would take such nonsense seriously.
When Li Mumu stepped into Victoria Mansion, she suddenly felt her footsteps pause.
Her shadow was dragged down.
"You two, don’t come in."
Detecting an anomaly, Li Mumu immediately stopped Yang Xu and Yin Nan’s steps.
"Eh?"
Yang Xu, now transformed into Li Mumu’s little fan, wished to follow her everywhere, was a bit displeased at being suddenly stopped.
"Why should I listen to you?"
No sooner had she spoken than Yang Xu froze.
This was definitely not what she intended to express.
"Chu Junior Sister, don’t take yourself too seriously, always thinking you can solve problems alone. Do you really think you have such skills?"
Yin Nan horrifiedly realized his mouth seemed to act entirely on its own, devoid of any control from his brain.
He quickly pasted a talisman paper onto his forehead.
However, it was completely ineffective, and the two started spouting criticisms like honey-coated lips, one after the other.
As though they were venting all their negative emotions at once.
"Senior Brother Yin, you and Miss Yang head back to the hotel first, you won’t be able to handle the problems here."
Li Mumu didn’t get angry because of their strange behavior.
It’s not their fault but the influence from some force emanating from the mansion.
She can completely exempt herself, and Little Die seems unaffected as well.
You can’t marinate stinky tofu to smell worse nor paint black darker.
When something reaches the pinnacle of weirdness, it naturally ignores other weird things.
Yin Nan nodded while covering his mouth, pulled Yang Xu’s hand, and walked back.
He felt the most rational choice was not staying to be a burden but rather quickly retreating to gather people.
"This place is a bit strange, you should go back with Senior Brother Yin."
Li Mumu spoke to Little Die.
This little junior sister was ultimately too young, physically and mentally undeveloped to handle such high-level issues.
Originally, she was just brought out to relax, not expected to contribute much.
Under these circumstances, taking her further inside wouldn’t benefit her but rather cast a profound shadow on her young mind.
This is not what Li Mumu wanted.
Yet Little Die didn’t want to leave.
"Senior Sister, it’s dangerous ahead, right?"
"Danger... there definitely will be."
