C452 Hematological Conference

"Welcome to the Athens Sanctuary!" Ta Guluosi turned his head and said to Xu Xiaoming, then directly walked forward, as Xu Xiaoming looked left and right curiously at the scene of the Athens Sanctuary, while following behind Ta Guluosi.

As he slowly walked in, the scenery around him also changed. At first, it looked like a long corridor made of shadows, but gradually, he arrived at a place that looked like a medieval town, and pedestrians started to appear on the road that was not considered wide. However, after Xu Xiaoming used his Spiritual Sense to check, he was shocked to find out that all of these people were actually illusions.

This Athens Sanctuary was built by the newly appointed Speaker of the Shadow Council. Other than him, no one else was able to see the way to build this Sanctuary. Ta Guluosi said, and seeing that Xu Xiaoming was looking curiously at the people coming and going, he laughed: "These people are all illusions with no substance, it is said that when the first generation Speaker transformed this town into a sanctuary, the original inhabitants of this town formed, but who knows, anyway, they were just wandering around the entrance streets, so we can treat them as guards."

Xu Xiaoming nodded his head. Seems like the strength of this Shadow Council was truly much stronger than he had imagined, relying on this kind of shelter that looked like an illusion, he was able to ensure that his own foundation would not be damaged.

As for the principle of this sanctuary, Xu Xiaoming could vaguely guess a point of it, because among the cultivation forces of China, there were many sects that used this domain as their cave abode. For example, if one were to go through the physical excavation of his Heavenly Dao Pavilion, even if one were to go through the excavation of Changbai Mountain, they would not be able to find the location of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion.

Xu Xiaoming had also guessed at the relationship between the existence of the Heavenly Dao Pavilion and the Changbai Mountain, and thought that the door should be a teleportation gate, and the real Heavenly Dao Pavilion should be somewhere on Earth. It seemed that after returning to Hua Xia, he would have to carefully look at what the Heavenly Dao Pavilion was all about, but that was all in the future.

Xu Xiaoming thought in his heart as he slowly followed behind Ta Guluosi into the sanctuary. Although Ta Guluosi did not seem to be on guard against him, Xu Xiaoming naturally did not think that Ta Guluosi had already treated him as a friend to be able to be brought here by Ta Guluosi, as Ta Guluosi had probably already made complete preparations for him. He might even greet and greet the other Duke of the Strigoi s.

Just as he was thinking about this, Xu Xiaoming discovered that Ta Guluosi had already stopped in his tracks. In front of them was a large auditorium of a town, and around this large auditorium was a very wide plaza. A small portion of the members of the Bloody Clan were gathered, probably waiting for the Dukes to finish their meeting and begin the Blood Clan's sacrificial ceremony.

"Mr. Xu, this hall is where the Blood Family Meeting will be held, the other dukes are already waiting there, we will go in now, but please do not speak, I will find a suitable time to introduce you to them!" After Ta Guluosi finished speaking and seeing Xu Xiaoming nod his head in agreement, he took a deep breath and pushed open the extremely heavy wooden door, then walked in with large strides.

Xu Xiaoming saw that he had finally arrived at this place, and took full care of himself. He activated the true energy on his entire body and prepared to face the sudden attack, then directly walked in.

After entering, Xu Xiaoming realized that the things he was worried about did not happen. The auditorium was completely empty, only there was a wooden table that was big enough to accommodate dozens of people, and on the other side of the wooden table, there were some Bloody Dukes already seated. Moreover, there was a servant behind every single one of them, it seemed that he himself had to take on this role as well.

"Duke Ta Guluosi, I didn't expect you to arrive so late. I thought you were caught by the Church and tied to a cross! " The moment Ta Guluosi sat down, an untimely voice sounded from across him. Xu Xiaoming suspiciously looked over to find a Blood Clan disciple wearing a blood-red cloak, staring at Ta Guluosi with their blood-red eyes.

"Why, O'Fregas, you said, you have not been captured by the Holy See. How could I have been captured? You just don't know if that blood clan beauty is to your liking? I heard that more than half of your industry has lost money! " Xu Xiaoming was baffled, but seeing how the other dukes seemed to not be surprised, he guessed that this Duke Oleander might have some sort of enmity with Ta Guluosi.

Seeing that the servants brought by the other dukes had their heads down, Xu Xiaoming naturally did not want to expose himself too much, so he pretended not to hear the nonsense brought by these dukes.

"Alright, they're all people that have lived for hundreds of years. Why are they still making a ruckus like a junior!"

Seeing these dukes, he couldn't stop talking! From the looks of it, he seemed to have quite a bit of prestige. The moment he opened his mouth, the other dukes immediately stopped their discussions, but instead smiled and bowed slightly towards him.

"Today is the annual Blood Family's sacrificial ceremony, and also the day of Duke of the Strigoi's meeting. According to tradition, let us first offer our highest respect to the great Blood Tribe's founder, Lord Cain!" When the blonde Strigoi saw that the others had quieted down, he stood up and picked up a crystal cup from a tray. He then drank the red liquid inside in one gulp.

The other dukes followed suit and sat down, the blonde Strigoi smiled and said, "If that's the case, then tell us what happened this year! "Duke O'Flaherty, you have been running a part of the Strigoi estate, but I hear you've lost a lot of it!"

He then recovered his composure and stood up, saying, "Elder Suo Feisi, as you said, my industry has indeed lost a lot of money recently, but it was all because of someone deliberately destroying it. If you give me three more months, I will be able to provide enough money to pay for the shelter!"
