Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

"Just who are you, really? That kind of feat is not something normal at all, and you seem to know that creature."

But Alex didn't answer her question. Instead, he asked back in an emotionless tone, "Do you blame me?"

"Why should I? If not because of you, I would probably already be dead now," Ying Xue answered.

Even though she hated that she needed to recultivate, she didn't think much about it. She was already used to living on the frontline, where her family did this often.

They died in a fight, returned back to a new body, then recultivated. This was why the clan on the frontline could survive this long without being replaced. Each time they recultivated, they became stronger than before.

Sometimes, their souls also chose to take over almost-dead bodies in other regions, reincarnating to become stronger or just to escape the constant fighting on the frontline.

"Even when I told you there should be a better way to do it without harming everyone?"

"What happened, happened. As someone who grew up on the frontline, I know that there is no 'what if' scenario. Thinking about it will just give you a heart demon."

"A heart demon, huh..." Alex mumbled.

Normally, he would have smirked hearing about this, as he often thought cultivators should have their own professional therapist to cure heart demons, compared to what happened in novels.

The whole world was focused on cultivation, and a heart demon was a big hurdle that could block their genius path. It was only common sense to prepare for it.

But now, considering his own situation, he realized he himself didn't know he had one.

After the city was decimated, he was overwhelmed by a sense of guilt. From childhood, his parents always taught him how precious life was, and now he had just taken so many in a moment.

In response to that, something he never considered happened. He somehow shut off all his emotions, and now he didn't know how to get them back.

And what shook him the most was the thought, did he really need them to return?

Right now, his ability was operating in a way he never thought possible. Based on his speculation, the most likely possibility was that his brain stopped processing emotion, which freed up some space that could then be utilized by his ability.

It achieved something that he had failed at all this time: using his ability in real-time in combat, allowing him to use it effectively.

"You already reverted it back anyway, so there's no need to overthink it," Ying Xue said, trying to comfort him.

"It's not all returned. That wasteland around the Midnight Clan is filled with radiation and strange energy from Byakhee. I don't know what the effect will be, but it will not be simple."

"Radioactive?"

"Just take it as a deadly poison that can not only kill but also transform creatures impacted," Alex said emotionlessly while his brain was busy thinking about how to remove this.

After considering many possibilities, he then mumbled, "58.3% chance for this miasma to expand into other areas, 12.4% chance for it to stay, 20.1% chance it mutates into a lifeform, 9.2% chance it dissipates on its own. Seems my choice is clear."

Alex then stood up and jumped down from the cliff. Ying Xue, confused by his action, followed. She didn't know what was going on inside Alex's mind now.

One thing for sure, she was going to follow him everywhere until the backup she called arrived. Based on what happened before, she deemed Alex a very dangerous individual.

Even though the backup could come and look for him by themselves, if she was not there, her gut told her they would just have a conflict instead.

Landing on the ground, her eyes quickly widened as Alex took out what could only be described as an army.

A row of goblins, huge beasts, monsters, and many other creatures appeared kneeling on the ground, and in front of them, four people with crimson eyes looked at Alex with a deadly glare.
Experience tales with empire

They were the sovereigns that he took from Edonia. "Your glare does nothing for me. Do your mission or die," he said with an emotionless tone, spreading his progenitor aura and forcing four of them to kneel.

Progenitor aura had a deterrent effect on their own species. Normally, with their different levels of strength, Alex would not be able to do this. But now, with his ability, he controlled the aura in a precise manner, concentrating it on a few points and amplifying the result.

"How?" one of them asked in confusion.

They could tell Alex was still not completely transformed into their progenitor. Strength-wise, he was also still weaker than them.

"Don't waste any more time," Alex ordered once more.

This time, the four sovereigns quickly made their move. They split the army into four groups and then went in different cardinal directions.

Ying Xue's face quickly turned pale. "Why?"

She was too overwhelmed by the sequence of surprises to consider how Alex did it.

"This is the best method to take care of the miasma. There is also my promise to Reina. Where is the Zephyr Clan?" Alex asked.

In the first place, he had already planned to conquer and unify the world with MingYue, and the miasma problem would be better taken care of if he made it a forbidden zone with constant surveillance.

But Alex knew this would not be possible if he didn't have complete control of the world. A cultivator would always come trying to look for natural treasure.

Another reason for this decision was the current situation. Conflict with the Zephyr Clan, the coalition, Byakhee's existence here, the other human from another world, and finally, Byakhee's final words.

Ying Xue turned silent as she didn't know what to answer. The world would now turn upside down.

Even with one gaze, despite her current cultivation realm, she could tell the four crimson-eyed men Alex ordered were strong.
