Modern Cultivation : The Strongest Couple Bonded by Vampire System

YanYu was waiting patiently on the side as both of them were busy with their own work.

Her eyes started darting around MingHao and XueFang while her lips smiled mischievously.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

'I wonder if it's because of the situation or what, but XueFang seems to have some feelings for MingHao.

Well, he does have a lot of potential, but I feel her reasoning is deeper than that. I wonder if something happened between them in the past.'

Another minute passed by until both of them stopped the process. MingHao stopped as he got a signal from XueFang.

"How is it?"

"I think we can send the drone. I will move it now to check the city situation."

"Take out your drone. I will link it to the laptop so we can see it from here," MingHao suggested.

"How long will both of you hold hands?" YanYu asked with a mischievous tone.

"Oh, sorry. It's just so soft and warm. It feels very comfortable to touch," MingHao blurted out, making YanYu let out a chuckle.

'So cringe,' she thought.

XueFang, meanwhile, felt otherwise. Her cheeks turned even redder as she looked away shyly from MingHao. Her heart rate quickened.

"What are you talking about, silly? Just go start setting it up," she ordered.

"Ah yes… okay…"

This time YanYu tried her best to hold her laughter. She was sure now something was going on between them. On purpose, she decided to test it out.

She walked closer to MingHao and tried to help him. But the distance was very close; she also often made a touch on his hand and pressed her body against his.

"YanYu, come here. Don't you understand more about the drone? Try to set it up," XueFang said coldly.

YanYu nodded while she tried her best to act normally. Inside, she screamed, 'I know it!' Explore more at empire

XueFang's excuse didn't make sense. As someone who controlled puppets, she had tinkered a lot with the drone while staying at the BaiYue sect.

If anything, her understanding of drones should be better than hers.

"Let me see. I just need to remove the connection to your device and then add a new one from MingHao's laptop," she said while starting to open the panel on the drone.

She started infusing qi to interact with the formation set inside.

This was another invention from the goblins.

They created a formation capable of broadcasting signal waves on certain frequencies to interact with electronic devices.

It didn't take long for them to finish setting everything up.

They then took a seat while XueFang started controlling the drone.

MingHao then started realizing her face was a bit redder than usual. Feeling concerned, he asked, "Are you sick, XueFang? I see your face is red."

He asked while putting his head on her forehead, making his cheeks turn even redder like a tomato.

"Stop it, I am fine. Just let me focus," she said while deflecting his hand.

'Dammit, MingHao, can't you do that later?' she thought in her mind, but then quickly changed it again, 'What the hell am I even thinking? Why would I want him to do that?

Forget it, XueFang. Let's focus on the task at hand.'

The screen on the laptop started changing, showing a narrow dark tunnel that ran in many directions. It kept moving silently until finally, it saw a light and then emerged from the ground.

As the Xueqi ancestry ground was located on the outskirts of the city, they didn't find it weird when they didn't see anyone around.

XueFang then activated the camouflage formation and began moving it following MingHao's directions.

"Go to the southeast; it will bring you to the city center."

The camera started changing, now showing scenes of many people wearing blue robes with an ember of flame as their sect symbol.

If MingYue were here now, she would quickly recognize them as she had met them, the Sky Ember Sect.

In the past, they were busy looking for treasure, but now it seemed they had already found it.

MingHao frowned, looking at their appearance.

The white in their eyes was a bit red, while there were dark circles under them. All their skin was white while they walked around like zombies.

"They look weird; just what happened?"

"Hmm… I don't know, but they feel like their life has been drained from them and then replaced by something else. But this is just my observation; if only I could feel their qi."

"Let's try to look for other areas. Maybe we will get some clues."

XueFang nodded and then moved the drone. What they saw started becoming more and more weird; there were no normal civilians on the road, only the members of the sect moving around.

She tried to enter some of the houses, but more than half of them were empty. As for the others, the people inside were just sitting in a daze, as if their souls were no longer there. They were still alive, but barely.

Moving deeper, at the city square, they saw a huge formation with cultivators and people tied to stakes.

In the middle of it, a young man was sitting cross-legged, while a bone-chilling purplish energy was pouring into his body.

The people on the stake were being tortured in a brutal way, to the point that their screams didn't even make any noise anymore.

Their bodies were completely drenched in blood, with many flesh and skin missing.

Surrounding it, they saw three cultivators acting as the anchors, pouring qi to keep the formation alive.

"Is this demonic cultivation? They seem to turn the people's anguish and souls into some type of energy and pour it all into the man," YanYu asked.

MingHao, meanwhile, focused more on the man's appearance. Based on what he saw, the man was not there of his own will; his hands and arms were tied.

"I think we should save him."

"Why? I don't think that because he is bound, he was forced to be there. Maybe it's done because he knows the process is going to be painful, so he doesn't escape halfway."
