Mayor Dude's face was extremely grim because Clark intended to destroy the entire Sorlin Castle, turning the place where they had lived for generations into a wasteland.

He asked Clark angrily, "Clark, you killed those involved sixty years ago. Why do you now involve those people sixty years later? They are innocent!"

"Innocent?" Clark laughed as he looked at Mayor Dude, "Hahaha, was the girl sixty years ago not innocent? How did the residents of Sorlin Castle treat her? Subjected to constant scorn and humiliation, she was only in her twenties, in the prime of her life, and yet your ancestors ruined her."

"Do you think you are innocent? Why is there no record of this story from sixty years ago in the town chronicles? Because you erased it. You feared that Sorlin Castle's dark past would be exposed to outsiders. You are selfish; you are not innocent at all!"

"There are several magazine reporters here. When they investigated the events from sixty years ago, how did you cover it up? Your hearts are as dark as your ancestors' from sixty years ago. Sorlin Castle is a filthy place, it was before, and it still is now. You don't deserve to live here for generations!" Clark shouted excitedly.

Mayor Dude lowered his head. What Clark said was true. In Sorlin Castle, besides a few elderly and some others, no one knew about the dark history that occurred sixty years ago.

They erased history, they selectively forgot, and they were afraid of that history being exposed!

"Clark, I have a question. The incident happened sixty years ago. Why did you wait until sixty years later to seek revenge?" Lin Tian suddenly asked.

Clark smiled coldly and said, "To correct your notion, I am not seeking revenge; I am punishing them. Since the gods turn a blind eye, I will punish them on behalf of the gods. In this world, no one can do wrong without facing consequences!"

"I can also answer your question. To set up this curse, I have been preparing for sixty years, collecting the bloodline of three generations of Sorlin Castle residents. Moreover, I believe in the Eastern legend of reincarnation. In sixty years, the girl must have been reincarnated into this world. I want her to see in the news how Sorlin Castle disappears before the eyes of the world."

"Not just sixty years, I can wait a hundred years; I have all the time in the world!" Clark said coldly, with only a fleeting gentleness in his eyes at the mention of the girl.

"Sixty years ago today was the day they forced the girl to commit suicide. Let Sorlin Castle's disappearance serve as a memorial for her on this day." Clark said solemnly, then clawed at the air towards the residents.

Two whirlpools appeared in his palms, and a bloody mist rose above each resident's head, strands of bloody air escaping from their facial features as Clark attempted to extract the residents' blood.

"Lin Tian…" Xiao Manxue looked at Lin Tian hesitantly.

"Having heard the story from sixty years ago, I really can't find any reason to act. If it were me, I might be more ruthless than Clark, even harsher, but I can't just watch so many people become Clark's sacrifices…" Lin Tian sighed, ready to stand up.

"Stop!" A loud roar came from the direction of the ancient castle, then a figure flew down from the castle wall, almost touching the ground before leaping forward.

"Reina Sword Saint, why is she here?" Lin Tian wondered as he watched the approaching figure.

The sudden figure from the castle was Reina Sword Saint. She tread on the lavender-covered hillside as if riding the waves, the flower petals lifted by her gust, forming a floral dragon.

The dragon's head was Reina Sword Saint, and the dragon's teeth were her great sword. Reina Sword Saint rushed above Clark with a boundless aura and swung her sword down. But Clark vanished in a mere illusion, leaving only a swirl of black mist behind.

Reina's great sword struck the platform with a "boom," splitting it into two halves, and the resulting chasm reached deep underground. Those nearby, bridal couples or couples, fortunately ducked to the ground, with the exploding debris causing no injury.

Clark disappeared, and his blood mist witchcraft ceased. All the residents fell simultaneously, not under a charm's influence, but now weak and unable to stand.

"Teacher, why did you come?" Xiao Manxue stood up quickly and asked in surprise.

"When we received your information, we suspected the strangeness of Sorlin Castle and rushed here fearing you might come across a formidable foe." Reina Sword Saint glanced at Jin Lisi on the ground and said to Xiao Manxue.

Jin Lisi lowered his head under her gaze. He wanted to find a hole to crawl into; he had come offering himself to the vampires out of pride, only to get trapped in their charm without gaining any face.

"Hey, good timing, everybody fine?" A cheerful voice came again from the castle, and another figure swept out.

After the gust, a tall man, carrying a great sword, appeared beside Reina.

"Mr. Mark, you came too." Xiao Manxue said in surprise again.

"Hmph, insisted on coming with me, and if not for him, I would've arrived earlier, and it almost became problematic!" Reina Sword Saint gave Mark a sidelong glance, expressing dissatisfaction.

Mark was unbothered and said, "I was afraid something might happen to you; an extra person means an extra hand. I came to protect you."

"Who needs your protection? Take care of yourself; these vampires are unafraid of sunlight, so they're not your average low-level vampires. Don't make me rescue you." Reina Sword Saint retorted.

Mark had lost under her countless times, hence she had reason to say so. However, Lin Tian found it awkward. Their banter was clearly mutual concern disguised, as if they were a couple.

Xiao Manxue also felt helpless; obviously, both had feelings for each other, but due to some rules, they ended up like this. Fortunately, Mark had thick skin, showing resilience and perseverance. Any other man might have given up long ago.

"Lin Tian, Manxue, these are alchemical potions. Gather the team outside and have each resident inhale the potion to restore their strength. Then escort them out of the castle. These vampires are beyond your capability to handle." Reina Sword Saint stopped bickering with Mark, instead instructing.

Xiao Manxue nodded and immediately relayed the order through her communicator. Soon, the side door burst open with a loud crash, the door panel shattering into four pieces, and the team members charged in from outside.

"Trying to disrupt my ritual? Then you shall be buried alongside Sorlin Castle!" Clark's voice echoed from above, followed by a massive Blood-sucking Bat spreading its wings and diving toward Reina Sword Saint.
