The entire family of over two hundred people perished in a man-made fire. Whether it was the elderly, women, or children, all were consumed by the flames. Thinking of those innocent lives that hadn't had a chance to enjoy life before painfully dying in the inferno of "Hell", Lin Tian's expression turned cold.

Actually, even without Charlotte saying anything, Lin Tian had already decided to find out who was behind it all, whether it was for Rossi, a half-friend, or for other reasons.

"Lingyu, I know what clue you're talking about. Charlotte's memory changed when she became Blood Clan, but this phenomenon didn't appear in Rossi, indicating that the person who turned Charlotte into Blood Clan is very suspicious," Lin Tian voiced his suspicion.

"I have not seen the true face of that Blood Clan. He always appeared wearing a mask, and shortly after he turned me into Blood Clan, he disappeared. Later, I joined the Jimi Chi Clan and became Low-level Blood Clan. During a mission, I was seriously injured and coincidentally met Lord Houqing. With Houqing's help, my strength gradually increased, and I became today's lord."

"If the Blood Clan who saved me is really problematic, why hasn't he appeared? What was his purpose in saving me?" Charlotte questioned with doubt.

There is always a motive for saving someone, whether out of kindness or for other reasons, but saving Charlotte and altering her memory—Lin Tian didn't believe the Blood Clan's motive was merely kindness; there must be other reasons.

Zhang Lingyu furrowed his brows slightly, unable to comprehend the motive, while Lin Tian pondered and said, "Based on what you and Rossi said, your family perished on the run. If I'm not wrong, this matter must be related to your family's bloodline. Someone wanted your family's bloodline to sever, but someone didn't want to see that happen, so they secretly saved you."

"So, that Blood Clan really did it for the good of our family?" Rossi asked in confusion, as Lin Tian's words seemed to suggest so.

Lin Tian shook his head, saying, "Not necessarily, who knows what kind of plot that Blood Clan has. Saving Charlotte might have his own plans, the things about your family back then were too bizarre, many things aren't clear."

"Actually, I have a way to lure that Blood Clan here. To find out what happened back then, make him say it himself, then the truth will be revealed," Zhang Lingyu asserted.

"How to lure him out?" Charlotte asked in surprise.

"You were affected by the Blood Clan Secret Technique, and she is a Demon Exorcist, with the most research on Daoist arts and secret techniques. It seems she has already thought of a way," Lin Tian wasn't surprised. He knew Zhang Lingyu's abilities, various Daoist arts emerged one after another, even the Netherworld could be breached, attracting a Blood Clan shouldn't be a problem.

Zhang Lingyu chuckled, admitting Lin Tian's guess: "He turned you into Blood Clan, your Bloodline has a certain link. Using your Bloodline combined with Blood Worms, I can perform Daoist arts to draw that Blood Clan here."

"Time is of the essence, let's start now," Rossi urged.

"No, we can't perform Daoist arts on the island. Here is my secret place, even the Prince of Jimi Chi Clan doesn't know about it, we must move to the land," Charlotte objected.

Lin Tian also agreed with Charlotte's view: "Your sister is right, the resting place of Houqing must not be exposed."

"Ai Wei, go prepare the helicopter, we'll transfer to the land," Charlotte turned and instructed Ai Wei, who took the order and left.

Charlotte then extended her left palm, drew out the Soul-devouring Blade with her right hand, and slashed her hand. Blood immediately flowed out. She took two peculiar, semi-transparent bottles and filled them with her blood.

Two bottles of blood were thrown to Zhang Lingyu and Lin Tian, and she said, "Master, this is the Bloodline you wanted. Now you have what you wished for."

"Back then, you wanted to use your blood for a deal with me, to help you forge a Blood Angel without side effects, and now you just give it to me, are you willing?" Lin Tian squeezed the bottle and asked indifferently.

"You Huaxia have a saying, 'A wise man submits to circumstances.' I'm under your control now, instead of letting you rough me up, I'd rather be straightforward and suffer less. As for the Blood Angel matter, do I still have the bargaining chip to negotiate terms with you?" Charlotte said simply, her thoughts clear.

Lin Tian raised an eyebrow, and said casually, "I have a rather stubborn temperament; the more others push me to do something, the less I want to do it. Now that you don't want to do it, perhaps I'm interested."

Charlotte's eyes lit up with a hint of joy, but it quickly faded, seemingly recalling the family matters. To her, family matters were more important than anything, even more than her long-planned "Blood Angel" project.

Lin Tian merely chuckled in his heart without saying anything, and besides, Ai Wei, who had just gone out, returned and reported to Charlotte: "Lady Lord, the helicopter is ready."

Charlotte nodded, her gaze directed at Lin Tian. Now she was a servant, her Lord's status no longer allowed her to command Lin Tian to do anything. Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu proceeded outside and got into the car parked outside the villa.

When Rossi and Charlotte got in the car, Ai Wei drove away, quickly arriving at the helipad where they switched to the helicopter. The same female pilot was in charge of flying the helicopter. She probably knew the situation Charlotte was in now, which made her treat Lin Tian with respect, completely different from when they first landed on the island.

The helicopter smoothly took off, leaving the island and flying toward the land. Lin Tian didn't mind where Charlotte intended to fly, allowing her to make arrangements. Beyond the ocean, flying into the land, without knowing their destination, the helicopter finally landed in front of an ancient castle.

This was a complete castle, situated on a hillside, surrounded by various flowers and solid wood. Butterflies fluttered between the flowers, and birds chirped in the trees, making it seem vibrant and lively, unlike a castle where a Blood Clan would reside.

But since Charlotte had arranged it here, it signified the castle was also her domain. She was the behind-the-scenes owner of Bale Bank, owning islands and several castles was not surprising.

Charlotte led Lin Tian and his group into the castle hall, saying, "Lord Heavenly Master can perform arts here, this is my territory, no outsiders will disturb."

Zhang Lingyu nodded without speaking, instead, beginning to assess the castle's layout. Lin Tian didn't interrupt, leaving Zhang Lingyu to act.

She walked with strange steps, seemingly measuring something, drawing odd symbols at certain intervals.

Lin Tian was ignorant of Daoist arts and naturally didn't understand what she was drawing. But Charlotte watched in amazement. The Lady Lord was quite knowledgeable about formations. Though she couldn't comprehend what Zhang Lingyu was arranging, she could see its mystique—it was not random doodling, vaguely like setting up a formation.
