Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"It's alright, Xue Fang. I also understand why you want to go after him. And believe me, I will find a way for your clan."

"Hmph, stop talking big. Beat me first, then you can talk like that."

MingHao smiled widely. "Don't worry, it's only a matter of time. I have my own secret technique now."

Xue Fang eyed him suspiciously but didn't ask any further. "So, what is your plan for Daiying City? Since it's your hometown, we will listen to you."

"First, we need to check if the intel is correct, then we will think about it. I just prefer a more peaceful method.

If possible, I don't want further destruction from the city."

"Since you are ordered there, have you heard from your cousins? Aren't many of them still alive? If I were them, I think they would go to this city to look for clues."

"Some of the elders also survived, they should have informed them what happened," MingHao said

"That doesn't matter. Do you think they will trust the information blindly? Many of them will seek confirmation.

It's like this; if your parents were killed, would you believe what your uncle says? Will you not want to check their bodies with your own eyes?"

"You are right. I will not believe them easily. Who knows if they are lying to me."

"Since it's decided, let's go then," YanYu said with an excited tone.

She had lived all her life in a village before her family chose to join the BaiYue sect; afterward, it was all training.

This was the first time she went out and visited another city, but she hadn't had any opportunity to really enter any of them. She was staying at the camp with MingHao and the others.

They replied with a nod. YanYu then took out a vehicle from her storage ring. It was a car with a model that looked like a Humvee, but it didn't have any tires.

Instead, there were four plates made from metal carved with intricate array formations.

"We can use this, right?" YanYu asked with excitement.

MingHao smiled; he also looked forward to trying the car. "Since we can bring this, I think there should be no problem. What do you think, Xue Fang?"

"Other than the form that makes it unique, flying boats and wagons are normal in big cities; there shouldn't be any problem. But I still prefer to hide it when we get close to Daying City."

"I agree. Our goal is to verify the intel first, then make our move." MingHao then looked to the other cultivators that followed them.

"You all follow from a distance away, then wait near the city."

"Yes, senior brother, we will wait in the nearby area, but can we hunt in the nearby forest?"

MingHao put some thought into it, and then he got another idea. "I will send the location of a qi crystal mine near the city. It's quite a distance, but with your current ability now, it shouldn't be a problem.

Survey the area, and if possible, take it over, but remember your priority is safety. Also, don't kill if possible."

The four cultivators' faces turned excited as they got to do some action. They bowed and then took a vehicle similar to the one YangYu had taken out.

MingHao took the driver's seat, while Xue Fang sat in the front, and YanYu took the back seat. The dashboard looked just like a car, with some changes.

There was no place to put any key; instead, it only had a slot to put a Qi crystal in. But this didn't mean anyone could use the car; every single one was bound with a member of the BaiYue sect, limiting the people that could drive it.

A car could also be bound to multiple people, allowing them to switch based on necessity. The only downside was they couldn't find a way to erase people who were already bound to the vehicle.

The only way was to completely recast the formation, costing them a lot of resources. But MingHao and Alex had no complaints; this car was fully invented by the Goblin settlement in the BaiYue sect without their intervention.

They were already satisfied with the result. As for the goblin squad themselves, Qingwa was bringing them inside a cube; she kept them for emergencies.

Her plan was to let the militia do the job; when they started getting tired, cultivators would swoop in, followed by goblins, then herself.

The reason she kept goblins after cultivators was because, overall, they were stronger than the cultivators. Individually they might not be strong, but together their teamwork was top-notch.

After learning cultivation, the high goblins also invented a new secret technique. It was just created recently, making Alex and MingHao oblivious to it.

With this technique, when high goblins used their special ability, they could tap qi from other goblins. This allowed them to use it as if it were their own qi, raising their energy reservoir to a new level.

It didn't take long for MingHao and the group to land near the city. The journey was smooth, but they didn't feel any wonder as they were already used to living on a floating island.

YanYu took the vehicle back to her storage ring. They then looked toward Daying City.

Even from a distance away, MingHao could feel a strong array protecting the city. Usually, there would be a long line of merchants or people wanting to come in, but now there were none. The gate was shut tightly.

"Is it always like this?"

"No, it seems there's more to the news."

"Based on what I see, there's a big chance the one taking over is a demonic cultivator. That's the only reason they would shut the city like this," Xue Fang suggested.

"Why only them? A rogue cultivator hunted by a sect or clan could also do this."

Xue Fang rolled her eyes. "They wouldn't unless they're stupid, but I guess some people are idiotic enough to do that."

She then turned her gaze to YanYu. "How about you? What do you think the reason is?"
