Wasn't this luck?
After all, even the Blood Son was devoured by the Dark Flame. How could he tame this divine flame?
That's right, that must be it.
Xagebo convinced himself and wanted to leave immediately. He controlled the Blood Spirit Flying Vessel secretly but it didn't move. It seemed to be broken.
"What's going on?"
Xagebo was stunned. He hurriedly inspected the Blood Spirit Flying Vessel.
No problem.
The runes on the spacecraft weren't damaged. Why couldn't it be used?
He was a grandmaster-level rune master so he could tell if this spacecraft was good or bad.
"Huh?"
The commotion attracted the attention of the other vampire dark apparitions. They looked over.
"Xagebo!"
"It's a piece of trash like you."
"Hmph, it's the cowardly talent from the branch of the Great Xi family."
"He's just a branch member. If he didn't keep a low profile, he would have died long ago."
…
The vampire dark apparitions gave a look of contempt when they saw Xagebo's face. They started mocking him out of habit.
Xagebo's expression turned ugly. He was used to it, so he wouldn't do anything rash. However, what was wrong with the spacecraft below him? It couldn't move even after he activated it for a long time. This made him anxious.
"Xagebo, did you discover this Dark Flame first?" A vampire dark apparition asked indifferently as if he was giving an order.
The other dark apparitions looked over when they heard this. Their malicious gazes landed on Xagebo.
Xagebo shuddered. His head turned numb. He knew that the dark apparitions wouldn't let him go easily. They had always been like this.
The vampires were conceited. They looked down on people who came from a lower background than them, especially when those people's ability couldn't surpass theirs. Such people would be looked down upon.
Xagebo had risen all these years but he had suffered many injustices.
If he wasn't cautious and lucky enough, he wouldn't be able to survive until today.
Now, he felt that he had encountered the greatest danger in his life. He couldn't move his greatest escape treasure, the Blood Spirit Flying Vessel. He couldn't escape the pursuit of his fellow clansmen.
They wouldn't allow others to know about the Dark Flame.
"Damn it, what should we do?" Xagebo urged the Blood Spirit Flying Vessel frantically. He was anxious. "Move, why aren't you moving? Damn it, am I really going to die here? No, calm down, I must calm down…"
He took a deep breath and tried his best to calm down. Many thoughts went through his mind.
"Huh? This flying boat?"
Suddenly, the vampire dark apparitions noticed something. Their eyes lit up.
"I remember that Xagebo has a treasure that's very suitable for escaping. Is it this boat?"
"I think so. The runes on the spacecraft should be Ancient Runes. They are occult and complicated. This spacecraft isn't simple."
"Look, there's something wrong with that flying boat. It can't move. Otherwise, this coward would have run away."
"Hahaha, heaven is helping us. Without this flying boat, it will be a piece of cake for us to take him down."
…
The vampire dark apparitions stared at the flying boat with greed in their eyes. They discussed fearlessly. They weren't afraid that Xagebo would hear them.
"Bastard!" Xagebo's expression turned ugly. He felt exasperated.
"Let's do it. The longer we wait, the more troubles there will be. We mustn't let him escape today."
The vampire dark apparitions exchanged glances with one another and said coldly.
"Hmph, I've disliked him for a long time. This coward is a disgrace to the vampire race. Let's get rid of him today so that he won't embarrass us."
"Without this irritating fellow, we can plan properly for this divine flame."
The vampire dark apparitions charged towards Xagebo. Their speed wasn't fast. Instead, they seemed to be playing with their prey. Their eyes were filled with contempt.
They looked down on Xagebo from the start, but this guy rose all the way and was hailed as a genius alongside them. This was a humiliation for mid-tier devil emperors.
"Wait!"
In this emergency, Xagebo's mind was exceptionally clear. A spiritual light flashed in his mind and he shouted as if he thought of something.
"You can't kill me. I didn't discover the Dark Flame. The real person is someone else, and he's here."
"Huh?"
The vampire dark apparitions were shocked. They glanced around them vigilantly. There were other people around but they didn't notice them.
However, after some investigation, they realized that there was no one else present. The vampire dark apparitions stared at Xagebo coldly with grim expressions.
"How dare you lie to us?"
"Hmph, why should I lie to you? Why do you think I'm still here? Do you really think that my flying boat is broken? Use your brains." Xagebo forced himself to calm down. He crossed his arms in front of his chest and looked at his opponent coldly.
"Impossible. You don't have any other companions. Do you think we don't know?" A vampire dark apparition said.
"What do you know?" Xagebo sniggered. His face was filled with disdain. "Let me tell you, I've already pledged loyalty to the Blood Son.. If not, do you think I would have discovered this Dark Flame?"
