Chapter 637: Gathering at the Mountain Summit
"Yes, esteemed Elder Kulad."
Everyone replied respectfully.
Hearing this, Kulad nodded and his gaze fell upon Adolf. "Adolf, you will not follow us. Your strength is too weak; if you came, we would have to divert our attention to protect you. You will stay here."
"Elder Kulad, I will stay here and await your good news," Adolf said respectfully. He dared not question Kulad’s words and could only obey.
"Good. Everyone, let’s go. Pegasus Mountain, for the Left Hand of Cain! Move out!"
With that, Kulad’s figure vanished, reappearing in mid-air.
Flight was an ability of the Blood Clan. Only titled members could fly, let alone an Elder like Kulad. Seeing Kulad in the air, the others also rose and swiftly appeared beside him.
Seeing this, Kulad said no more. The group swept through the air, heading straight for Pegasus Mountain.
At the same time, the Demon Banquet Alliance also began to move, led by Colding, the Elder of the Ashamai Clan.
"Everyone, it’s about time. Let’s head for Pegasus Mountain," Colding announced, leaping into the air.
Seeing this, the members of the various Clans also took flight.
"Let’s move out!" Colding roared, and the group of more than a dozen shot toward Pegasus Mountain at high speed.
In an instant, the vampires of the Demon Banquet Alliance and the Secret Alliance surged toward Pegasus Mountain from the north and south.
Meanwhile, Lin Kuang, Britney, Chen Anhun, and the others were sitting in the woods.
"Let’s wait a little longer," Chen Anhun said. "If they don’t show up by ten, we’ll leave. Wei Zhong and Gu Zhen, you two will stay here to keep watch. Notify me immediately if anything happens."
Wei Zhong and Gu Zhen nodded. "We understand, Vice-Captain. You can rest assured."
"Good," Chen Anhun said with a smile.
Just then, Chen Anhun’s expression shifted. Simultaneously, Gu Feng and Lin Kuang also frowned.
The next moment, the three of them exclaimed in near-perfect unison, "They’re here!"
"Everyone, conceal your auras! Don’t reveal the slightest hint of your presence," Chen Anhun commanded. He waved a hand, and an inexplicable power enveloped Lin Kuang and Britney.
The members of Dragon Front were all extremely powerful, especially when it came to concealment. Chen Anhun was simply worried that Lin Kuang and Britney might reveal their presence, so he used his own power to shield them.
However, Chen Anhun didn’t know that if Lin Kuang truly wanted to hide, he could merge perfectly with nature, making it impossible for anyone to detect him by his aura.
At this moment, Gu Feng looked toward Lin Kuang. It was normal for him and Chen Anhun to sense the vampires, but Lin Kuang’s strength was so much weaker than theirs. How could he possibly have sensed their presence at the same time?
Is his Perception really that strong? Gu Feng wondered, his brow furrowed.
Seemingly noticing Gu Feng’s confusion, Lin Kuang whispered, "My Perception is very strong because I can use the Force of Nature around me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng was slightly startled. He gave Lin Kuang a serious look but didn’t say anything more, simply giving him a nod.
Chen Anhun had also overheard Lin Kuang. When he looked at him, a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes. He never expected Lin Kuang could utilize the Force of Nature.
While the group hid in the woods, concealing their presence, the forces of the Demon Banquet Alliance and the Secret Alliance met on the summit of Pegasus Mountain.
Colding’s gaze immediately landed on Kulad. The two were old rivals, their acquaintance limited entirely to their countless battles. However, after so many years of struggle, neither had ever managed to claim victory or kill the other.
"Heh heh heh... Kulad, I knew it would be you," Colding cackled, his voice grating.
"Hmph. Colding, you’re still the same damnable self," Kulad retorted with a cold sneer.
"Damnable? Heh heh... When have you ever managed to kill me?" Colding sneered back, his eyes flashing with murderous intent.
Kulad snorted coldly but didn’t reply. His side was outnumbered, and starting a fight now would be extremely disadvantageous.
With this in mind, Kulad spoke. "Colding, I don’t want to fight you right now. Let’s find the Left Hand of Cain first. After we find it, we can battle it out."
"Heh heh... You may be afraid to fight, Kulad, but I’m not. All I have to do is tie you down, and my people have more than enough strength to wipe out your Secret Alliance. When I can just annihilate you all, why would I team up with you to look for the Left Hand of Cain? Are you an idiot? Or do you think I’m as idiotic as you?" Colding mocked.
Hearing this, Kulad frowned. This was precisely his fear. If Colding was determined to fight, the situation was not in their favor.
As his frown deepened, a flash of inspiration lit up his eyes. "Colding, even if we fight a full-blown battle, and even if every member of the Secret Alliance dies, do you really think anyone from your Demon Banquet Alliance will survive? How laughable!"
"Heh heh... Are you saying you’re confident you can wipe out my entire Demon Banquet Alliance? Kulad, stop bluffing!" Colding scoffed, his gaze filled with disdain.
"Of course, I have no certainty that I could eliminate all of you," Kulad began, his tone now laced with mockery as he looked at Colding. "However, don’t forget that the entire Pegasus Mountain has been blockaded by the army of this eastern nation. The moment we start an all-out war, their experts are bound to appear.
"When that time comes, even if you manage to wipe out my Secret Alliance, how many members of your Demon Banquet Alliance will be left? Do you really think your survivors could escape the eastern experts? Don’t forget how glorious the ancient East was.
"Though it has declined, its foundations remain. When their overwhelming numbers besiege you, do you really think your Demon Banquet Alliance can withstand the assault?"
Listening to Kulad, Colding’s expression darkened. Although Colding knew Kulad was just using the eastern experts as a threat to restrain him, he had to take the words seriously. If the two sides did fight, the final outcome could very well be just as Kulad had described.
