At the foot of the Holy Fist Palace, there is a fairly prosperous white town - Moyou Town.
There are small white buildings everywhere in the town, and flowers of various colors are planted in every house. Whenever the breeze blows, you can smell the sweet fragrance of flowers everywhere.
The sky is cloudy, and there is a white three-story building on the bank of the river near the snow-capped mountains in the center of the town.
"Isn't it a good vacation here?" Alisha was holding homemade ice cream, putting her feet on the sun lounger, wearing a pair of red sunglasses, hot pants and a T-shirt, looking youthful and beautiful.
Lying next to her was Galen's sister Vivien, and the two girls lay leisurely under a large parasol to rest.
"We worked hard to trick our parents into coming here for vacation, but it won't last long." Vivien said helplessly. "What's the matter that forces us all to come and live here."
"I don't know, but my sister and Uncle Preeto are almost here. You can ask them then." Arisa replied, sipping on the pear juice and combing her hair with one hand.
"Sister Aisharo is coming? Then we can go swimming together. The water in the river is so comfortable recently." Vivien is almost going crazy now. Rhodes, who owns the Lessard Group, is obedient and has almost nothing to do.
The only thing she couldn't contact was her brother Garen who had something to hide, but she wasn't someone who wanted to get to the bottom of things.
Although Alisha said she didn't know, she knew everything in her heart.
She is considered to be under the protection of the Holy Fist Palace. Most of the people living in this small town are the family members of the internal staff of the Holy Fist Palace. In addition, she often contacts her sister Aishaluo. There is nothing hidden from her there, so naturally she is exposed to the outside world.
All changes are clearly understood.
A big family of the Blood Clan officially went to war with the Holy Fist Palace. In order to avoid danger, they were placed here. It was nominally a two-month vacation, but in fact it was to avoid the Vampire Clan's revenge.
There are experts patrolling everywhere around this town, as well as a variety of high-tech equipment and defense lines, making the security extremely high.
But the situation here is stable for the time being. What she is really worried about is her sister's side.
My sister and Preeto went together to track down the mystery of the life and death of the leader of the secret party, Red Moon, and we still don’t know what progress we have made. Once we find Lord Red Moon and contact the leader of the first Death Apostle, Lord Pale, that will be a real turning point for the secret party.
Arisa knew how difficult it was, especially after fully understanding through Rhodes the vastly different levels of power of the vampires, the shadow in her heart grew day by day.
The last time her sister came to see her, the smell on her body had become deeper and deeper. When they took a bath together, she also discovered a few more scars on her sister's body.
"I really don't know when this kind of life will end..." Alisa looked up at the small building on the side, where the faint voices of Vivien's parents talking and laughing, and the shouting of her brother Jason could be heard.
"Alyssa, Vivien, haven't you had enough fun? Come in and help!"
Therese yelled from inside the house.
"Coming!!"
The two people quickly got up from their chairs and walked into the house with cups in hand.
Therese was wearing an apron. The dishes being placed on the table were all newly learned dishes.
Emma was reading a magazine with her legs crossed, looking slow and leisurely.
"I don't know when that guy Gallon will come back. I don't know if I can come home more often after going out to work!" Therese complained as she put the vegetables away.
"That's right, I don't even come to the family vacation a few times." Vivian quickly agreed. "But I don't come here a few times. I guess my brother may be busy with something important. After all, he has his own company.
"
"Let him go. As long as he can support himself, I don't care about him." Neither Therese nor Teres knew the details about their son. They only learned that Gallon had opened a private company and was busy all day long.
No one could be seen.
"Let's go, let's go!" Emma put down the magazine and sat over, "Isn't Galleon developing very well? Who cares?"

Wellington Family Estate Headquarters
At night, several dark shadows gently floated out of the darkness and landed on the edge of the manor. One of the shadows took out a round object from his arms, pressed it gently, and then seemed to wait for something.
Time passed minute by minute.
There was no movement in the manor.
"What's going on?" Xuying whispered in pure French. "We have agreed to meet at this time. What are the elders of the Wellington family doing?!"
"Is something broken?" Another shadow asked in a low voice.
"No, I just used it once." The first phantom said hesitantly. "I made an appointment with Elder Tulan, and the people from Wellington always come out to greet them very quickly. Even if there is an attack this time, there will be no manpower.
If it’s not enough, it shouldn’t be completely unresponsive.”
"I received news earlier that they have completely withdrawn into the underground palace to hide, and are temporarily waiting to regain their strength. Is there any special arrangement to block the signal?" Another person guessed.
"Go in and have a look."
Several shadows suddenly floated into Wellington Manor. It was empty and quiet, with a faint sense of death.
"Something is wrong."
The first shadow seemed to smell something.
"Go, get down!"
Several phantoms floated silently to a lawn in the middle of the manor, and some unknown mechanism was activated.
The ground suddenly moved and opened a dark underground passage. The lights inside were flickering and there seemed to be no one there.
Several people looked at each other and quickly entered the tunnel.
After passing through the passages, there were masses of pitch-black ashes everywhere on the walls and on the ground, and there were blood stains everywhere in some places. There was not a single person in the entire underground passages and the accompanying underground palace.
A few people went straight to the elder's room with familiarity. This was not their first time in Wellington. At this time, they realized something was wrong and the speed increased involuntarily.
Bang!!
The closed stone door was slammed open, and rubble was scattered, revealing the dark environment inside the elder's room.
In the center of the room, a large black robe fell to the ground, and there was no one else. In addition, there was a large human-shaped hole left on the wall.
A shadow fell in front of the robe, and he picked up the clothes and smelled it.
"These are the clothes of Elder Wellington..."
He and the vampire behind him looked at each other, and both saw a hint of horror in the other person's eyes.
"Who can destroy the entire Wellington silently?!"
"It's the Ming Party...! It must be!" Another person gritted his teeth and said, "There must be their spies here, let's go! Now!"
Several people were startled, grabbed their robes and quickly retreated.
But none of them noticed that something like a black stone in the corner of the elder's room made a slight click. It was a disguised miniature camera.

Eastern United States, Wiener Asia.
14:17pm
heavy rain
Tu Lan walked slowly on the streets of Pena City with a red umbrella, waiting for the traffic lights with the crowd of people getting off work in the afternoon, crossing the sidewalk, and couldn't help but take a few more glances when passing by exquisite clothing stores.
She is wearing a light blue dress with a black waist ribbon, and her waist-length fiery red hair is smooth and straight, with a bright luster.
White high-heeled sandals stepped on the stone tiles on the road, and water accumulated in some places was lightly touched.
Several students in school uniforms after school were wearing raincoats and riding bicycles on the bicycle path beside her. The boys' eyes were unconsciously focused on her, and they all looked amazed.
boom!
In an instant, Tu Lan's eyes flashed, everything was dark, and a huge figure as long as a snake slowly appeared in front of him.
It was a black copper-colored snake dragon that looked like metal!
The snake dragon slowly coiled up, its jointed body like a real Eastern dragon, its huge dragon eyes slowly stared at her, behind it was an ancient and dark giant door.
With another blur in front of his eyes, Tu Lan came back to his senses and found himself still standing on the central street of Bena. The umbrella in his hand was pattering by the raindrops.
"Is this another hallucination?" She touched her right eye, and the pupil color there was slightly different from that of her left eye.
The snake dragon is the symbol of her becoming a Death Apostle. When one day she can truly break through that snake dragon and enter that dark door, that will be the moment when she becomes a Death Apostle.
This is the Black Dragon Taoist method that she learned from the East five hundred years ago after traveling around the world. Combined with the family's sacred method, it has been perfected and practiced for hundreds of years, and now it is close to the final success.
Tu Lan removed the edge of the umbrella and looked up at the sky from the umbrella wing. Raindrops were falling like threads. Following the raindrops upward, they extended to high in the sky, where there were seemingly endless deep clouds.
"Tulan. Wellington." Suddenly someone called her name from behind.
Tu Lan lowered his head and turned around to look.
It was an oriental girl wearing a white dress, with skin like snow porcelain, and waist-length black hair that was as shiny as silk. Her facial features were exquisite and flawless, vaguely reminiscent of crystal jade.
The most eye-catching thing is the violin held upside down in the girl's hand, with its body glowing as scarlet as blood.
She held the body of the piano in one hand and the bow in the other. She stood quietly among the crowds of people on the street. Strangely, no pedestrians around paid attention to her, as if she didn't exist.
"Who are you?" Tu Lan was convinced that he did not know her. Although he had indeed seen many similar girls in his thousands of years of life, absolutely no one had such a temperament.
"My name is Ning Ruoxi, and I'm here to take your life." The oriental girl slowly set up the violin, and an inexplicable and strange aura slowly filled the air.
Faintly, for a moment, it seemed as if only two people were left standing alone in the surrounding streets.
The raindrops in the sky seemed to slowly disappear, and a kind of yellowish amber sunlight fell from the sky and fell on the two of them.
"This is...!?" Tu Lan was shocked. The surrounding pedestrians and vehicles slowly disappeared and no one else could be seen in the entire city center.
"The secret of Huanlou Fist..." Ning Ruoxi hummed softly, and her bow slowly began to draw across the strings.
