Legendary Bloodline Collector

The two rushed inside to check what has happened to the archers that were firing arrows at them just few

Both of them rush inside to see what was happening but there was nothing there only footsteps left by the archers firing at them earlier.

Xavier and Galen watch with surprise, was this really happening? they didn't even hear the sound of the archers retreating because of the arrows raining down.

Now that there was no one here, neither Liam nor archers then where could they find Liam.

The two flashed out of the territory of the Ling clan.

Galen summoned out several paper observer birds and sent them out in different directions in search of Liam.

Luckily, just few distance away one of the observer birds caught up with Liam standing behind a tree that has been pierced with countless arrows on the other side.

Galen sighed in relief, he shoulder tapped Xavier to let him know that Liam is still okay.

Just like them, he hid behind something to protect him from the arrows.

...

Few hours later in Gregor family, Gregor was excited at the safe return of his men.

Before returning, Liam already hid the loots from the army division in his spatial ring.

All his soldiers were uninjured after the fight, it could be said that none of them fought as they should have.

Galen walked inside the hall, holding matriarch Ling in his hand pushing her inside the hall.

Gregor saw her, immediately he felt so happy in his heart that he stood up from his seat joyfully.

In this hall, Emelia wasn't invited, only Galen, Gregor, Xavier and Liam were invited.

Liam sat with his hands folded, only him knew that the outcome of the Battle was false.

The matriarch Ling they have right now is the fake one, the real one is in the Ling clan still healthy and uninjured and planning the downfall of the Gregor family.

Fortunately, he wasn't one of them and right now he was just no less than a wolf in sheep's clothing, a traitor.

Gregor walked closer to matriarch Ling, using the small knife clenched in his hands to raise her head up so her eyes could meet his.

Of course, the fake matriarch Ling did just that.

Her eyes filled with weakness looking at his filled with a triumphant glint.

No one expected that she will be so weak to the state of obeying just the movement of his hands.

Of course he felt so happy doing so .

Liam had a bored expression on his face as he watched the dude behaving as though he was victorious not knowing he was playing with his own death.

"Your clan is so weak now, your plan to make my family fall has failed miserably, may I ask how you feel about it?"

"I have nothing to say to you." She let out weakly to the delight of Gregor.

"She won't talk, take her to a place where she will be able to think about her life."

Galen nodded, he made the chains wrapped around her hands and her legs to stuck on her body tightly and then the force started pulling her toward the direction of the prison in Gregor's family which housed Ling Xan as well as the one who wanted to assassinate them almost a week back.

After everyone has left the hall, Liam suddenly strolled in.

He obtained the key to this place sneakily without anyone knowing of it.

After entering the hall, he also started approaching the prison holding the three Ling clan ladies as well as the over weakened Ling Xan.

The fake matriarch Ling sighted him and gave him a weird smile, for some reasons he felt like he was looking at the real one who he had strike a deal with from the way she looked at him with fear and reverence.

"Or was it because I was the one who defeated her back then. damn, this clan of bitches are so fuckin hard to understand." Liam muttered.

Just as he was about to open the lock to the first prison, he heard a movement in the door leading to the entrance of the hall.

'Shit, I thought they have left.' Liam cursed inwardly.

Then he quickly took out the last of the aura concealing pill he brought along with himself and also put on a mask.

Then he summoned out a short sword and activated demon eye to look at who has arrived.

With noiseless steps he began approaching the entrance, just then his eyes caught glimpse of a masked lady armed with twin saber approaching the place with a strange look to kill in her eyes.

Because of the mask and the aura, it became pretty difficult for him to see through.

The lady also caught glimpse of him, her eyes furrowed as she took two steps backward in fright soon regaining her stance and sanity.

"Who ever you are.. don't try to stop me." She said in a panicky tone, her voice was smooth sounding although it wasn't that pleasant to the ear because of the trembling.

She clenched the two sword lightly in her hands and charge towards him.

Liam wasn't surprised that she would attack him and he wasn't Afraid of getting injured in the fight, thus immediately she closed the distance and let go of a slash with her right hand, all he did was take a slide to the left.

Thump.

Her saber cleaved into the ground, leaving a narrow dent.

She released an horizontal slash for his waist, for that he used his sword to block and then he swept her off her feet with his feet before stretching out his hands to grab her by the hair.

In this process, her mask fell off and behold it was no other than the beautiful Ling clan general.

"So it's you." Liam let out a scoff and let her fall completely to the ground causing her to let out a moan and glare fiercely at him.

Liam removed his mask, revealing his face to the Ling clan general who was both petrified and terrified.

"I'm sorry, I failed to recognize that you were the one." She apologized.

"What are you doing here." Liam asked as he placed his sword and his mask inside his spatial ring.

"Matriarch Ling said that you might need some help so i decided to come to your aid, we already got the location of the scroll, all that's left is to retrieve it."

"I didn't ask for the help of your clan, but since you are here, I'll leave getting the scroll to you, be fast about it, I'll be waiting at the south side entrance of your clan"

"Um" She nodded, placed her mask back on her face and then she disappeared out of his sight.

After she left, Liam went on with what he was doing before hand.

He unlocked the prison gate for the three, Ling was too weak to stand but he wasn't going to help her.

The fake matriarch Ling decided to that for her clan sister and gave her shoulder up to support her up.

The other clan member was injured but she could still walk.

He led the two out of the Gregor family compound and kept them in a safe place for a good number of time.

Right now, there was just one person remaining -- Emelia.

Thus he made his way inside once more and traced his step into the chamber of Ling Xan, there he saw Emelia looking at some artwork on the wall.

He strolled inside and stood beside her looking at the artwork which turned out to be an artwork of her mother, her self and her brother in a family photo which aged back to twelve years ago when every thing was still going well with Gregor.

"The peaceful days are gone, Emelia. at this point you have to get your mind ready for the things ahead of you." Liam let out lowly.

She was very surprised to hear his voice so close to her because she didn't even feel his presence entering the room.

Liam did not hesitate before knocking her out and then he princess carried her out of the room and then flashed towards the entrance.

Unfortunately, he met with some group of Gregor family guards, about ten of them standing just a few meters away from him and he was already in their sight.

The guards were panicky as they saw him carrying the young miss with him.

"Let the young miss go immediately." They yelled at him, Liam watched them with a strange glint.

"I have no time for you guys right now' He let out, just as he was about to speed off he saw someone coming from afar. it was another one of the three beautiful Ling clan generals he saw earlier.

She used her yang consuming whip to lash at them offing them in the process
