797: Chapter 0797: The First Mission 797: Chapter 0797: The First Mission Long Fei watched the reactions of the crowd and hooked the corner of his mouth in satisfaction.

The five hundred pills hadn’t been spent in vain; these people indeed understood the principle of owing a debt of gratitude.

He had no interest in the Yin Yang Sect itself; he had gotten involved solely to control this power.

As a result, Chu Feng held only the status of a guest elder, which was tantamount to playing a role here.

In the future, the affairs of the Yin Yang Sect would still need to be handled by Hua Qianmo.

Long Fei thought highly of this woman, but she still needed some tempering to rid herself of the shortcomings of being short-sighted and lacking courage.

He encouraged the crowd, “The various positions within the Yin Yang Sect are vacant, and you all need to continue to strive.

As long as you are willing to do your duties and gain merit for the Sect, I, as the Sect Hierarch, will assuredly make a clear distinction in rewards and punishments.”

“We obey the order!”

The crowd shouted in unison, all of them excited and eager to join Long Fei in battle and earn their merits immediately.

Lin Yingying watched her man excitedly as he stood in front of everyone, commanding a territory.

Lin Shanshan murmured to herself, thinking that this brother-in-law really had no eye for talent, for not designating her as a Saintess or an Elder.

There was indeed one person within the Sect suited to be an Elder, and that was Mu Qingzhu.

Unfortunately, the old man was back home protecting Lin Yingying’s grandfather and hadn’t arrived from Huaxia yet.

In the end, he still announced Mu Qingzhu’s appointment; as soon as he arrived, he would immediately take charge of leading the Yin Yang Sect.

With him and the Black and White Fiends watching over things, Long Fei could feel more at ease.

For now, many people would have to stay in America.

When the time was ripe, they would all return to Huaxia together.

In the end, Long Fei gave another generous gift, issuing an order to Hell Sect members, “Everyone here rest and recuperate for a day; tomorrow, Sect Leader Hua Qianmo will lead you all in action.

The Yin Yang Sect’s first mission since its restoration will be carried out together by all of you.

At the same time, let me tell you some good news; the spoils of this mission don’t need to be turned over and belong entirely to all of you.

Whatever fortunes you seize are yours to keep!”

As his voice fell, everyone’s eyes sparkled, and they shouted with excitement, praising the Sect Hierarch’s wisdom.

Showered in such a succession of benefits, they were so happy that some wanted to cry, having never been so generous before.

It was a rule in Hell Sect that the spoils from any operations, big or small, must be turned over to the Sect, and personal concealment was strictly punished if discovered.

The Sect would also distribute rewards according to each person’s merits.

But Long Fei, on the other hand, had directly given them such a big pie.

Everyone was curious about what the mission was.

They thought that Long Fei would keep it secret, but the Sect Hierarch generously revealed, “No need to guess, the mission this time is simple.

It is to attack the number one vampire family on the North American Continent, the Brukh Family.

This family has been established on the continent for three hundred years and has amassed countless treasures.

I will lead you all into their stronghold, and this mission will surely bring immense benefits to you, you’ll wake up laughing from your dreams.”

The crowd laughed heartily, relieved within.

They had feared that Long Fei was going to have them attack some major Sect, which could have been a tough nut to crack.

The reward would be substantial, but so would be the risk to their lives.

They knew about vampire families, and many had experienced missions involving the assassinations of vampires.

Aside from those high-ranking and twisted vampires, even the Baron-level ones could be handled by the lowest-ranked Yellow Rank assassins.

Celestial Mystery and Earthly Yellow, with Yellow Rank being the poorest, merely indicates the Foundation Establishment Cultivation Level.

Hua Qianmo and the Ten Great Yama Kings didn’t expect that Long Fei would set his first target on the Blood Clan.

This was truly going in the opposite direction, having just been beaten by Elder Cang Shan and his group—they didn’t seek revenge against these individuals but instead targeted the foreign devils.

Such a Sect Hierarch, truly elusive.

However, they gladly accepted such a mission without risk, all of them bowing with fists together and calling out in unison, “Your subordinates receive the orders!”

On the North American Continent, blood and carnage filled the air.

While various sects besieged the Hell Sect, the Holy See also initiated its attack on the Blood Clan.

Unlike the Hell Sect, the ancient castles of the Blood Clan were built atop towering mountains.

With a cliff at their backs, there was only one main road for access.

A stone bridge was constructed between two cliffs, forming the only path into the Blood Clan’s castle.

With its easily defendable and hard-to-attack position, it truly was a case of one man guarding the pass, and ten thousand unable to break through.

The Holy See summoned knightly groups from everywhere to this site, including the legendary three Knight Orders—the Hospitaller Knights, Templar Knights, and Teutonic Knights—all arriving on the scene.

The Blood Clan was not unprepared; they gathered all the recently recruited members of the clan, forming a defensive army of over ten thousand people.

Moreover, they summoned relatives from around the world.

Among the group of vampires, there were even zombies dressed in Qing Dynasty official robes joining in the fray.

This gentleman was but an official who had been bitten by a European vampire during the Qing Dynasty and who had since been appearing in public in this attire.

By lineage, he was not a Huaxia zombie.

Many high-level members from various European vampire families also came to provide support.

What had begun as a local family feud had now escalated into a world war between the vampire families and the Holy See.

Having recuperated for a day, Long Fei and Chu Feng had also ascertained the current state of the conflict.

The assault by the Knight Orders was not very promising, especially against the newly grown ranks of thousands of vampires—they had encountered a war of attrition.

Once they entered the fray, they were quickly enveloped by the surging tide of enemies.

The three Knight Orders, originally not acting as a single entity but rather dispersed around the world.

This sudden assembly weakened their combat effectiveness considerably.

After one battle, the Knight Orders suffered more than half casualties.

Another small half ran away, those who conducted business continued with their trade, those who indulged in pleasures pursued enjoyment, and they no longer had any inclination to serve God or to exterminate the enemies of darkness.

The North American Papacy switched to an all-out defensive stance, while the Blood Clan launched several counterattacks in succession, causing the Holy See’s forces to continuously retreat.

Even Field, the most formidable archbishop in North America, was seriously injured by a duke of the Brukh Family.

Inside the camp, Saintess Emily tended to the others, having just given medicine to someone.

She appeared dazed as she watched her mentor’s wounds and said, “Father, why does the Lord not show his miracles and let these forces of darkness run rampant?”

Field patted her hand, consoling her, “Emily, don’t speak such disheartening words.

The Lord will send us hope; it’s just not time yet.

Darkness may obscure temporarily, but it cannot hide forever.”

Emily nodded somewhat despondently, as the sounds of heavy casualties and continuous wailing came from outside.

She didn’t know if they had any chance of turning defeat into victory.

After a while, a knight clad in armor came in and reported to Field, “Father, something bad has happened.

The Blood Clan has issued a final ultimatum, urging us to surrender immediately.

Otherwise, they will annihilate us completely.”

“Bastards, too arrogant!”

Saintess Emily cursed.

Father Field asked, “What are their terms?”

The knight hesitated for a moment, but still spoke frankly, “They demand that you marry Saintess Emily to their duke, and then this conflict can come to an end.

Otherwise, they vow to turn the entirety of North America into the Blood Clan’s dominion.”
