CHAPTER 394: CHAPTER 394: BLOOD KNIGHT

On the massive deck of the Legendary Ship.

The Third Prince, dressed in a purple robe, with long hair tied up, sword-like brows, and starry eyes.

Even those men who don’t know she’s a woman would probably find it hard to resist.

This is a kind of pure androgynous beauty.

Simply put.

When she dresses as a man, the attraction she exudes is enough to captivate both genders.

In the distance.

Several small mechanical steamships continuously approach the Purple Cloud.

The hulls shimmer with various Spiritual Technique Array Patterns, enormous waves of Blood Energy constantly emanating.

The fleet halts a hundred meters above the Purple Cloud.

Immediately following.

Several humans fly out from the ships, leaping through the sky, with Psychic Flames spewing from the mechanical power armor behind them, accelerating their flight.

Bang!

A total of six people land on the deck of the Legendary Ship.

Each person is encased in dark red armor, radiant and equipped with various Spiritual Technique Machinery, waves of Blood Energy ripple outwardly like waves.

Baiyu, despite being an uninitiated mechanic.

Has a keen sense for Blood Energy.

These armors are clearly high-level Mechanical Armaments.

Engraved with numerous Spiritual Technique Arrays, embedded with many Blood Energy conversion devices, they are undoubtedly life harvesters on the battlefield.

"Blood Knight Order..."

Beside him.

Purple Cloud quietly introduced the identities of these people to Baiyu.

Blood Knights.

One of the Judgement Council’s forces specifically dealing with demons, heretics, and mutants.

An Imperial authority institution.

Besides the officially established Imperial Army, it’s divided into Three Councils and One City.

The City represents Eternal Sleep City.

The Three Councils are the Value Judgment Council, Truth Society, and Elder Council.

These four institutions have independent internal management, and the Elder Council even makes decisions on major Imperial matters, just slightly below the Emperor’s position.

The opponents belong to the core force of the Judgement Council, the Blood Knight Order.

Each one’s combat power is extremely terrifying.

This is the knowledge Baiyu was just catching up on.

"Third Prince, after passing through this area, we detected the massive energy fluctuations emanating from here earlier, what exactly happened?"

A Blood Knight asked gravely.

He was encased entirely in bright red armor, even his face thoroughly covered, revealing only his eyes, and it was unclear what expression he held.

"A high-ranking Demon Race member rode a giant to attack me, and I used special means to defeat them."

Shangguan Zi succinctly replied.

With her voice, two Mechanical Patrollers beside her carried over a stretcher, upon which lay the corpse of Zi E.

Except.

The head of this Demon Race member had long disappeared.

Moreover, being soaked in water for a while, the corpse was quite ghastly.

A Blood Knight stepped forward, extending a finger.

From his fingertip, a sharp needle emerged, drawing blood from the corpse of Zi E.

"Vice City Lord of Black Abyss City, high-level demon of the Demon Race, Zi E, was the direct blood relative of Black Abyss City Lord Zi Luo, offspring of the Fourth Celestial Demon King."

As the blood was drawn.

A line of information was transmitted from the Blood Knight’s armor.

Several Blood Knights bowed in unison:

"Thank you, Third Prince, for slaying the demon.

At present, given the critical state of Zenith City, by slaying a high-level Demon Race warrior here, the tension on the front will be greatly eased."

"What is the situation in Zenith City?"

The Third Prince’s eyes brightened, and he asked.

The Blood Knight replied: "The battle still rages on.

This time, the demons hail from Wumian Mansion.

They have collaborated with the Fourth Celestial Demon King, and are backed by the Great Elder Demon.

The purpose is to release the endless alien races sealed within Celestial South Martial Arts University and Maple Leaf Martial Arts University.

And they succeeded.

The Endless Divine Country has shattered.

The fragments of the Divine Country are merging with the entire Maple Leaf District, which is the cause of the topographical changes occurring in Maple Leaf District.

Currently, they presumably have further goals.

But it remains unclear to us.

The combat in Zenith City has resulted in enormous losses for both sides.

However, the demons evidently lack any further reinforcement, and are slowly being eradicated.

Our mission is to resolve the subsequent impacts of the Simulation Realm and eliminate all mutated creatures."

"Indeed, the Simulation Realm was created by the Steam and Mechanical Church."

The Third Prince muttered softly.

The Blood Knight nodded: "Yes, it was a necessity.

The Mechanical God Sect deployed some forbidden forces.

Without their involvement, Zenith City wouldn’t have held out this long.

Zenith City’s ten million inhabitants.

Survived because of them.

Now, the battlefield has been contained to the first three layers underground in Zenith City, the demons’ path has ended, and surrounding alien armies are retreating towards Zenith City for a final stand.

Other areas of Maple Leaf District have been essentially cleaned up.

The Third Prince may pilot the Legendary Ship towards Zenith City’s direction, perhaps witnessing the demons’ final defeat."

The Blood Knight was very confident.

Evidently.

They’ve ascertained the demons’ offensive has been contained.

After all.

The Imperial Army and Maple Leaf District were initially formidable.

There’s also the Mechanical God Sect Headquarters.

This city is virtually impregnable.

If not for the demons developing the latest method for brainwashing people, evading mechanical equipment detection.

Combined with the simultaneous rebellion of the Endless World.

Various factors coinciding led to Zenith City’s present situation.

Otherwise.

Zenith City wouldn’t have fallen so swiftly.

"Oh, considering your explanation, it appears Zenith City’s situation truly has been contained.

But with the Simulation Realm blocking the way, did you traverse through the Simulation Realm?

Such actions are highly perilous.

Previously, we had a means to bypass the Simulation Realm directly.

But due to some complications, we reached Linjiang City instead, and now don’t wish to risk further danger."

The Third Prince explained.

A few Blood Knights exchanged glances and said: "We are willing to escort the Third Prince; the Simulation Realm poses no threat to us.

Moreover.

This way, we can also ensure your safety.

Additionally, this Demon Race corpse.

We hope the Third Prince allows us to handle it to prevent any complications."

The Blood Knights are known for their unwavering determination.

Loyal only to the Emperor and Judgement Council, offering no consideration to anyone else.

For instance, now.

They clearly doubt the recent explosion, seeking to observe whether any issue arose with the Legendary Ship, potentially even harboring suspicion towards Shangguan Zi.

As for handling Zi E’s corpse.

It’s certain.

As long as they exist, they will eliminate all mutations.

And this corpse is obviously a potential unstable factor causing mutation.

Loyal, fearless, unwavering.

These are the tags of the Blood Knights.

The Third Prince didn’t wish to elaborate with these armored figures, glancing briefly at Baiyu to see he had no objection, before replying:

"You may take the corpse; as for offering escort, if I encounter danger, can you bear such responsibility?"
