Chapter 066: Doubts

This black iron curtain was completely different from the purple barrier just now—it wasn’t merely a passive defense but also carried an offensive nature.
That blood-colored monster, equivalent to a top-tier warrior of rank seven, was severely damaged with just one strike from this black iron curtain; its three hard horns on its head shattered.
More than half of the monsters were completely destroyed, losing all vitality and vanishing into thin air. The remaining monsters were extremely powerful but still badly injured, their already damaged bodies now in tatters.
“Waaah!”
The blood-colored monster flew hundreds of meters through the air, roaring frantically before fleeing deep into the world of supernatural abilities. Once it left, the other monsters also scattered.
“What happened? What just happened?”
“What exactly is this black curtain?”
For a moment, all the supernatural beings in the hall were stunned. They had no idea what this suddenly appearing black curtain was; they had never experienced such a thing. Moreover, due to its obstruction, they couldn’t understand what was happening outside.
…
On the fourth floor of the headquarters of the Supernatural Beings Association, Mo Changli watched the tide of monsters slowly dissipating on the screen and shook his head slowly.
“This second crystal consumes an enormous amount of energy—just one attack costs tens of millions of star coins.”
Mo Changli and the seven elders formed seals in their hands, and the screen above the black crystal gradually disappeared. At the same time, the black iron curtain surrounding the barrier also vanished.
Tens of millions of star coins was equivalent to several billion Huaxia coins.
“Anyway, it’s enough as long as we can hold off this wave of monsters. Otherwise, if they break through the association’s defenses, the losses will be in the hundreds of millions. More importantly, if they shatter the second crystal…”
One of the elders smiled. Anyway, this disaster had been safely overcome.
“It’s not that simple. This time, seven regions in the Huaxia world of supernatural abilities have been attacked by this wave of monsters. I’m worried there’s something hidden behind this,” Mo Changli wasn’t so optimistic. His brows remained furrowed, as if he was deep in thought.
“Could it be related to the vampires? Did they create this wave of monsters?” The other elders also looked worried. If it weren’t for Mo Changli personally activating the second crystal this time, the association’s headquarters would likely have been captured by the wave of monsters led by the red monsters.
“The vampires?” Mo Changli showed a hint of disdain. “If the vampires had the ability to trigger such a wave of monsters, then the entire world of supernatural abilities would already belong to them.”
“Let those old fools handle this matter. It seems the Sanye Family, which hasn’t been active in the world of supernatural abilities for a long time, will also can’t resist this time.”
Mo Changli said meaningfully.
“What do you mean, President…” The six elders around Mo Changli, though all elderly with white hair, treated the barely twenty-year-old Mo Changli with utmost respect, not daring to show the slightest neglect.
Mo Changli simply shook his head and said nothing more.
…

Nearly half an hour passed, and after all the evil spirits dispersed, the alerts in the Flaming Soul Realm were lifted as well. In an instant, the black iron screens and purple light barriers vanished. The ability cards in the hands of those with supernatural powers also resumed functioning, allowing them to enter and exit the world of supernatural abilities freely. Outside the association’s headquarters, everything had been reduced to ruins; the market that used to surround it was gone, replaced by piles of debris. The corpses and severed limbs of tens of thousands of evil spirits covered the area, but strangely, these spirits had no blood. After dying, their originally translucent bodies became solid, and their surfaces resembled dead ash, as if they had been dead for countless years. Chen Xiao stepped out of the association’s headquarters and frowned slightly at the scattered limbs and arms on the ground. Just earlier, Mo Changli had sent several elders to return double the star coins to those with supernatural powers, as well as to the zombies and undead. Even though Chen Xiao’s soul had already begun to merge with the main divine entity, his mind remained clear. Yet, facing these foul-smelling corpses, he still felt the urge to vomit. “Uuuu…” Suddenly, a low wailing sound arose—those were the undead shop owners who, after this wave of evil spirits, had lost everything again. Chen Xiao took out his ability card and immediately returned to the secular world; he couldn’t stay in such an environment for another moment. “Hey, my mental resilience still needs improvement.” Chen Xiao was now standing at the foot of the hill where he had practiced the previous night. It was 2:30 p.m., and he had spent half a day in the world of supernatural abilities. Looking around, everything was quiet. This graveyard was usually a place no one wanted to visit. Even though there had been a huge commotion last night, those who wanted to see what was happening had already arrived in the morning. Chen Xiao took out his phone and dialed Chris’s number. “Dear Mr. Chris,” Chen Xiao said as soon as the call connected, “I’d like to ask you something.” “Hmm?” Chris felt a chill when he heard Chen Xiao’s tone; a badpremonition arose in his heart. “What is it, Lord Chen Xiao? Just speak,” Chris replied, his expression stiff on the other end of the line. “How many of you vampires have come here? Is it true that no one else has sneaked into China without the orders of your thirteen clans?” Chen Xiao asked. He wanted to investigate the cause of Lu Yan and the others’ deaths, and the vampires were obviously his first target. “No, absolutely not. Besides our delegation and those seven idiots who are already dead, no other vampires would dare sneak into China at this time! It’s a serious matter—anyone who violates our orders will have their entire family destroyed,” Chris said urgently, seemingly realizing something. “If that’s the case, then there’s no problem. But I still ask you, Lord Chris, to keep an eye on the movements within your vampire clan. If any other vampires sneak into China, I hope you won’t hide it from me,” Chen Xiao said. “Also, please keep an eye on the Dark Vampires. After all, they’re very similar to you.” With that, Chen Xiao hung up the phone.

He didn’t tell Chris about it. Once Chris found out, whether it was done by those seven dead vampire clans or not, they would suffer greatly. It was better to execute someone by mistake than let them go—Chen Xiao still didn’t have that habit.
Moreover, the timing didn’t add up. If those seven clans wanted revenge, they definitely wouldn’t come after them right away.
Chen Xiao also suspected that the Dark Vampires were behind this, trying to frame them—this wasn’t the first time they had done such a thing.
He called Chris just to give him a warning. The conflict between the Vampires and the Dark Vampires was likely already underway in China, and Chen Xiao couldn’t tolerate that.
……
“What’s going on? Why would Chen Xiao say such things to me at this time? Has something happened? We must investigate thoroughly! And those Dark Vampires, those filthy bastards—have they done something in the East to frame us again?”
Chris’s expression was grim; his handsome face was twisted. With three seventh-tier powerhouses serving Chen Xiao, he wasn’t willing nor dared to offend him.
