Legendary Bloodline Collector

Liam arrived at the Ling clan alongside the two generals from the Ling clan, the first one was able to retrieve the scroll without much trouble while the other was able to take care of the guards trying to stop him earlier.

Standing in front of the real matriarch Ling, Liam finally let out a sigh and smiled slightly.

"I've fulfilled my part of the deal, now it's your turn to fulfill yours."

Matriarch Ling smiled slightly, she uncovered the device revealing the legacy flute to Liam greedy eyes but she didn't take it out causing Liam eyes to furrow In confusion.

She smiled awkwardly, then she retrieved the scroll from the hands of the general.

Liam watched curiously what she was going to do next.

...

In the Gregor family, Galen walked inside the main hall alongside Gregor but they met the door was already left ajar but the key was still with Galen thus he was kinda confused.

"Something feels off." Gregor let out and walked inside with hurried footsteps, on his way to the prison he saw several footsteps scattered around, it seems a fight went on here.

He also found the small dent that was left on the ground, just then his eyes furrowed.

Just like his mind was telling him, there was really something amiss here.

Galen rushed past him and arrived at the prison but there was only prisoners from the Gregor family, apart from those there was no other.

Even matriarch Ling was no longer in her prison room.

"Damnit, we were played once again by those bitches." Gregor yelled furiously, he knelt on one kneel and tried to inspect the footsteps and the sword dent left on the ground.

"It seems there was a battle here but we can't tell who and who battled each other, damnit."

Galen sighed to calm his rageful heart then he proceeded out of the hall, the first place he head to was Emelia's room because she was one of the two persons he didn't trust that much.

When he got there she wasn't inside her room and her door was locked from inside with the key still in the key hole .

"What the fuck happened." It was quite surprising, he could not make out one or two out of what is happening right now.

His eyes furrowed as he gaze out of the window with a complicated expression on his face.

The window was closed, then how the heck did she leave? as far as he knew she didn't have any technique that enables her to disappear or teleport herself neither did she have spell papers containing spells with the above listed effects.

He could only come with one suspicion — She was abdopted by the escapees.

He rushed out of the room, he left Ling Xan chamber and rushed inside Emerald chamber where Xavier and Liam were staying in.

He saw Xavier and informed the dude about what was happening, both of them rushed to Liam's but he was not in his room causing Galen to be with another suspicion.

Two people that he suspected were missing with no possible trace of their location.

"This is bad, is there anything the Ling clan are aiming for?" Xavier asked with a pained expression on his face.

Galen entered into a deep thought, then his eyes widened as he recall that there was really something his mother, Ling Xan has always been trying to extract from Gregor — The scroll of divine yang and yin essence combination.

"The scroll of divine yang and yin essence combination! that's it, she has always tried to get her hands on those." After recalling that, he rushed toward the hall once again to look for Gregor.

Gregor was still there with a pained look on his face as he tried to think of a possible method to take down the Ling clan without suffering casualties.

"Dad, The scroll of divine yang and yin essence combination. where is it."

Hearing that, his eyes widened.

The reason for the battle wasn't only because of gaining superiority over each other but to gain dominance over the scroll containing the divine yang and yin essence combination.

"In the north safe, damnit. there wasn't much security in the north safe nowadays due to the war. I hope those bitches hasn't succeed yet." He yelled in a panicky tone and rush out toward the north safe.

On reaching the safe which was in the form of a tower guarded at all corners by guards, who at the moment were lying on the ground seemingly in a sleepy state.

Seeing them, he knew at once that the scroll wasn't safe anymore.

He arrived at the safe, there he found all the traps undone and some of them shattered.

The thick glass box was also shattered at the scroll was missing, his legs grew numb as he fell down on his knees with his fist clenched tightly.

Galen gritted his teeth, then he formed multiple birds and sent them into the direction of the Ling clan.

He also formed a thick armor around himself and then he flashed out from the Gregor family.

Xavier looked at Gregor and sighed before following after Galen.

Meanwhile at the Ling clan, the matriarch held the scroll of divine yang and yin essence combination in her hands, it's content were in in ancient text and magical runes that glowed.

There was also several taoist symbol between paragraphs.

The scroll of divine yang and yin essence combination isn't a dual cultivation technique (the sex type cultivation technique)

A smile crept on her lips as she folded it back.

"Hey I'm waiting here"

"I am well aware about that young lord, we still need your help one more time." She said with a smile, Liam gritted his teeth and walked past the women, to approach the box then he placed his hand in it to grab it out but then three energy snakes started climbing his hand and piercing their fangs into his skin.

[Warning: Lethal Poison discovered in host body]

Liam took his hands off and the energy snakes disappeared, with a clenched fist he blew down at the desk holding the box.

But a strong force caused him to be sent flying backward, luckily he was able to land his feet on the wall and used a backflip to land properly.

'Is the poison still effective right now?' He asked the system.

[The effect has been reduced, but it's still harmful if the antidote is not taken before the next 24 hours.]

Liam gritted his teeth, his eyes blazed as he flashed and arrive close to the matriarch and grabbed her by the neck.

"Where the fuck is the antidote?"

She wasn't bothered about him clenching her neck, she knew he won't kill her unless he has gotten the antidote.

"The antidote is the legacy flute, once you obtain it and have it in your grasp, it will restore your vitality to the peak."

"Then let me have it right now or I won't mind killing everyone in here."

"If you do, it will become more impossible to obtain the antidote. please see things from our pov and let us help you after you are done helping us."

"Bitch!" Liam was enraged, he aimed a kick at her stomach causing her to be sent backward colliding with the thick wall as she began coughing out blood.

The three general brought out their weapons and aimed it at Liam but the matriarch asked them to take their weapon down, one of them walked over to her and helped her up.

She wiped the blood off her lip with a smile on her face which infuriated Liam, he snorted and took a seat watching the ladies doing their stuff taking care of their leader.

Just then, an explosion came from outside .

The three generals were startled as well as the matriarch.

Liam was only surprised about how fast Gregor has discovered what has happened, he saw the three generals were about going out but they didn't want to leave.

They looked at his direction, he looked at them with an expressionless face.

"Is this the final part of the deal?"

"Yes, young lord." The matriarch nodded with a look in her face that showed how serious she was but ok Liam wasn't fooled with her expression anymore.

He looked at her as though he was waiting for her to say something more.

"I swear on the life of my clan and it's reputation that this is the last part of the deal"

Liam sighed.

["Master I've an idea, all you have to do is use bond with me."] The voice of blood manipulator bloodline resounded in his head.

'Use bond?' Liam pondered for some time, using bond will also benefit him now, his identity will be hidden some how if he use bond, once he undergo the transformation it will be very useful.

"System, Initiate bond with blood manipulator" He whispered.

[Bond [Blood manipulator bloodline soul] sent to host brain]
