Chapter 743: Chapter 743 – Attack

When Charlie left, his face was still full of excitement, as if he was going to hunt for treasure. Of course, it was about the same for him.

The corpses of bloodline lifeforms were equivalent to treasures for people like them. They could turn the corpse into things our their own as long as they thoroughly explore it. Whether refining into special magical products or making bloodline potions, transplanting them into their bodies would be the best use.

Nonetheless, the opportunity to do so unscrupulously, like today, was relatively rare in normal times. This world was full of bloodline lifeforms. Even among the commoners, there might be many people with special bloodlines, not to mention those noble families.

However, killing these people without permission would easily cause disputes, making many more vigilant. Unlike this time, even if Charlie killed those people, Chen Heng would be the one who will be revealed in the end.

Charlie left excitedly, ready to find an opportunity to make a move. Meanwhile, Chen Heng stood on the side alone, continuing the experiment with his hands. Occasionally, he looked at the outside world and saw the hazy sky outside, and the surroundings seemed stained with blood, dyeing the entire place crimson and dazzling.

Chen Heng smiled, looking at the scene, understanding accordingly. It seemed that Aili would riot again after some time because of today’s matter. Chen Heng just didn’t know how Aili would react that time. Various thoughts flashed through Chen Heng’s mind, and he had an inexplicable sense of anticipation at this moment.

In the spacious tent in the distance, Aili looked uneasily before him. He was dealing with the documents that had recently been reported to him. As the first prince of the Violet Empire, he was theoretically the person most likely to inherit the throne of the empire. Hence, he was very busy.

Usually, he had to deal with too many things, not only his subordinates but also the people in his territory. His territory was much larger than Chen Heng’s, almost comparable to a small principality.

Aili was no different from a king at his principality and could enjoy everything and control everything.

He was naturally busy as a king. Usually, it was fine, but now that many things were piled up on him, it was naturally troublesome to deal with them.

“Has Yiz and the others returned yet?” Aili raised his head and looked uneasily at the head guard before him, then frowned and asked, “How long has it been?”

“It’s been seven days, Your Highness.”

“Seven days.” Aili frowned.

Yiz was one of the generals under him and one of the few candidates for whom he had high hopes. Therefore, within a short period, he stood out from Aili’s men and became a troop leader.

Yiz had never disappointed him. On the contrary, she had accomplished many things for him. Although many people had told him that Yiz’s methods were brutal and could easily cause problems, in Aili’s opinion, as long as the problem could be solved, it would be good.

In the past, even if Yiz left, he would send an envoy to contact Aili on a fixed date and never disappear. However, this time, seven days had passed since the last time they had contacted each other, but Aili had still not received any news from him.

‘Yiz’s last letter said that he had already arrived at Alan’s territory. So based on my calculation, he should be on his way back now. I just don’t know how the situation is and how many people he can bring back.’ Aili frowned and thought.

He had sent Yiz to Alan’s territory for a specific purpose. Recently, he had been looking for a way to find traces of Princess Aimer. The three empires had respective methods to determine whether a royal family member was alive or dead.

According to the news from the Gilna Empire, Princess Aimer was still alive. However, that group of people had taken Princess Aimer away. It was obvious that they had their eyes on Princess Aimer’s bloodline and were trying to use it to achieve some purpose. Aili had been searching for a while and finally found a seemingly feasible method— the blood sacrifice ritual.

Sacrificing flesh and blood to the great god to obtain some information feedback was a ritual passed down from ancient times. However, it was sealed in the past because the price of this ritual was too terrifying.

In ancient times, there were a large number of bloodline noble families who lost their lives because of this ritual. They died and became sacrificial offerings under this ritual. Therefore, many people resisted this ritual in the previous era, resulting in it being sealed up directly.

However, the Violet Empire still had this ritual in its inventory. It was just that after so many years, this ritual was now somewhat incomplete and problematic.

Nonetheless, the problem shouldn’t be too big. Eli had once brought people to analyze it. Although this ritual was flawed and could no longer display its once-powerful strength, it was still possible to continue using it. As for the sacrificial offering? Generally speaking, the bloodline was most suitable, but this would undoubtedly anger most noble families.

Therefore, Aili took a step back and prepared to use ordinary people as sacrifices. After all, what he needed to do was not a big deal. He just wanted to obtain the whereabouts of Princess Aimer.

At this level, it was probably enough to use the flesh and blood of ordinary people, which required at least thousands of people. So naturally, Aili set his eyes on his younger brother’s territory.

After Chen Heng left the imperial city, he had become much less wary of Aili. Thus, this time, he did not think that Chen Heng would dare to oppose him. In the past, when they were still in the imperial city, the status and strength of both parties were not at this level at all.

However, now, Alan had voluntarily given up on the competition for the throne. In the future, he would only be an idle prince, while Aili would be the most advantageous successor to the throne of the Violet Empire.

As the future king, Aili didn’t think Alan had the guts to reject his request and would be able to satisfy him. But, even if Alan didn’t satisfy him, Yiz’s strength was enough to deal with everything. As an older brother, Aili clearly knew his younger brother’s strength.

Nonetheless, although the royal bloodline was powerful, it also needed time to grow. Theoretically, every royal who had awakened the royal bloodline had a high growth rate and could become a monarch-level powerhouse in the future.

However, this was only theoretical. In reality, most royal families took too long to become monarch-level powerhouses. All kinds of accidents might happen within such a long time because all sorts of enemies would attack them when they were weak. Moreover, having the royal bloodline meant they lived in the middle of a storm. So there could not be less danger.

In the past, Aili had always regarded his two younger brothers as opponents, so he naturally paid special attention to their news, including their strengths. Thus, he was very clear about Aili’s strength and knew he was no match for Yiz.

As for other people around him, perhaps there would still be strong guards if it were in the capital. However, it was a different matter in his territory. According to Aili’s thoughts, even if people around Chen Heng could rival Yiz, they would not be able to stop his guards.

Nonetheless, his guards had lost contact with him seven days ago. This made him feel a little uneasy as if he had missed something. An ominous premonition surged from the depths of his body, making his heart palpitate.

However, at the same time, he also felt puzzled. What exactly had he missed? The premonitions of bloodline masters were not the same as ordinary people. The possibility of it being an illusion was slim, and most of it was accurate.

This was a part of the power given by their bloodline. Nonetheless, this feeling made Aili feel even more uneasy at this moment. However, no matter how he thought about it, he did not know what the problem was.

Due to his age, he was the strongest among the many princes of this generation Violet Royal Family. Moreover, he was a Fifth Rank now, which was extremely powerful, equivalent to the strength of the head of some great noble families. If Aili didn’t have this level of strength, he wouldn’t have been able to garner so many followers, allowing his power to expand to such an extent.

As a prince and the most likely successor to the throne of the Violet Empire, the power around him couldn’t be underestimated either. There were two king-level existences by his side, protecting him. But, initially, there had only been one.

It was just that he had come to investigate the situation of Princess Aimer’s disappearance. Hence, to avoid the group of people who had attacked Princess Aimer back then, Aili had deliberately added a king-level existence, Riolu, by his side. A king-level existence was considered the peak level in many empires. In theory, even the kings of the three great empires would belong to this level.
