For the woman known as Su Ye, Somaroth's emotions were quite complex.
Su Ye's mother was Somaroth's youngest daughter, Qinlan. This was not exactly a secret among the Thirteen Clans; by blood relation, Su Ye was Somaroth's niece. However, defining Somaroth solely by this relationship would be a mistake. In front of this elder, who would sacrifice everything for the bloodline, nothing was beyond sacrifice. He knew full well the tragic fate that awaited Qinlan in the Solomon Clan, yet he still sent his youngest daughter away without hesitation.
In fact, at least half of the assassination attempts on Su Ye during her childhood were orchestrated by Somaroth himself. Her pure bloodline threatened to undermine Beryl Mountain's authority within the Solomon Clan. At that time, Beryl Mountain had already pledged allegiance to Somaroth, so before this secret could be revealed, he had to eliminate Su Ye in her cradle.
However, when Su Ye emerged from Solomon's Sanctuary, she astonishingly inherited Seydon Solomon's will. This was something Somaroth had never anticipated. With this turn of events, the situation shifted once again; after all, when it came to strengthening the bloodline, a loyal and obedient dog paled in comparison to a niece with immense potential.
Thus, when Su Ye imprisoned Beryl Mountain in the Abyss, a significant part of that outcome stemmed from Somaroth's assistance.
Somaroth had always been satisfied with this hands-off approach towards Su Ye. He did not obstruct other clans from isolating her while simultaneously binding her with the chains of blood relation. In this way, he gradually brought Su Ye under his control.
But it was only at the moment Su Ye severed Acheron's head that Somaroth realized he had made a grave mistake. Yes, he had ultimately underestimated this woman; she would not be controlled at all. Everything she did was simply because she wanted to!
At this moment, Somaroth felt an almost bone-deep hatred for Su Ye.
He could not accept that the Solomon Clan—strengthened with his help—had suffered such significant losses! Moreover, it also affected the other four major clans... It was foreseeable that after these events concluded, the bloodline would enter an unprecedented period of weakness!
Somaroth quietly crushed the crystal in his pocket. This communication crystal was his means of contacting the Progenitor; he would not use it lightly unless absolutely necessary.
Yes, he had to kill Su Ye today! It must be done in front of all the clans!
Only then could he salvage his position within the bloodline and avoid being completely branded as a sinner.
Just as the crystal shattered, a sudden roar echoed from afar!
Thick clouds swirled in the sky, accompanied by flashes of lightning and thunder, as if the entire world had plunged into darkness! The area around Starsea Island was merely on the edge of these storm clouds, while in the distant core region, massive stones could be seen falling and gathering into vast mountain ranges amidst violent tremors!
"Ahn'Qiraj! Dead Man's Gorge has descended!" one vampire exclaimed in shock.
Everyone looked on in astonishment. The Lost Land was an exceptionally rare phenomenon on the continent; its appearance was difficult to predict and typically occurred only once every hundred years or so. Yet now, in just over a month’s time, two major ruins had emerged!
But no one noticed that at the same time Dead Man's Gorge descended, the space outside Immortal City suddenly twisted, and a disheveled figure fell, quickly disappearing from sight.
Watching the distant sky, Somaroth grew even angrier.
Yes, according to his original plan, Niguzate was supposed to lead four elite blood clan members inside. With his meticulous preparations, it would have been a significant achievement to solidify his status within the blood clan!
But now, only Infernal Demon remained!
Niguzate had been beaten to the brink of death by Mokfande, while Lion's Eye and Lucifer were taken down by a servant of the Solomon Clan, one dead and one missing. Even among the few remaining, Tastandin, who still had some fighting power, had been forced into Immortal City!
Again, it was the Solomon Clan... again because of the Solomon Clan!
However, after waiting for a moment, Rebia Clan still had not arrived, and Somaroth's heart grew anxious.
Compared to others, Mokfande clearly showed little interest in Dead Man's Gorge.
"What are you planning to do next?" Mokfande asked casually. "The old man won't let this go easily; you've crossed his bottom line this time."
"Aren't you involved as well?" Su Ye replied dismissively.
Mokfande fell silent.
Su Ye narrowed her eyes. "Or do you still have hope for this race?"
"It seems you have other plans," Mokfande said while stroking his chin. Although everything he did stemmed from guilt towards Qinlan, if given another chance, he would still make the same choice.
What intrigued Mokfande even more was Su Ye's next move. Other clans viewed Su Ye as an outlier, a madwoman like her father. But Mokfande knew well that Su Ye had also inherited her mother's traits. Under the alliance of Solomon and Reverno, Qinlan had managed to escape several times with ease.
If it weren't for Su Ye's arrival, perhaps Qinlan would have long since left the blood clan.
Su Ye did not respond and instead gazed at Immortal City.
At that moment, a crack suddenly opened in the layers of Void Power surrounding Immortal City, and a figure fell out, immediately swept away by a gust of wind that pushed him to the edge of the bridge.
With a loud bang, all eyes turned toward the source of the sound.
"What is this..." Rogerett stared at the man in red and white armor, his eyes widening in shock.
"He is... Garen!!" another person exclaimed. "He came out of Immortal City?!"
The crowd, which had just been captivated by Dead Man's Gorge, now shifted their attention to Garen. They watched as he knelt on one knee, leaning on his massive sword, disbelief etched on their faces.
In the vampire community, Immortal City was a modern legend! The more one knew about it, the more fear it instilled. So when Garen charged into Immortal City, no one questioned whether he could survive...
Yet here he was, standing right in front of them on the bridge!
Even Somaroth trembled, his hand shaking in his pocket.
Only Su Ye seemed to have noticed something from the Embrace; his expression grew serious.
Dozens of gazes were fixed on Garen, waiting for him to rise and speak his first words after leaving Immortal City...
But he did not.
He remained kneeling, gripping his massive sword tightly. If one looked closely, they would see that Garen's body was slightly trembling.
Indeed, Garen did not care that he had returned to Starsea Island; he did not express a single sentiment about the ten years he had spent there...
His mind was filled with the last glance before he left.
It was all Master Yi's ugly yet sincere smile!
A complex emotion surged within him, occupying his heart.
The old man, with a face full of dark holes and an aura of decay surrounding him, initially led Garen into the Road of Descent, attempting to bind him there for the long term...
His smile was grotesque and ugly, resembling a filthy rat from the sewers.
He exuded a nauseating presence from start to finish.
But one thing was undeniable:
When he finally smiled, it was strikingly similar to the moment when Han Yun placed his hand in Garen's palm!
It was as if two completely different faces suddenly overlapped at that moment.
At the same time, the power that had been suppressed within Garen for ten years erupted all at once!
First came the Rune Armor, radiating a dazzling red and white aurora. Then, from the Bloodline, the Fighting Spirit ring burst forth with beams of gold and emerald, swirling around Garen in rapid motion...
On the bridge, the expressions of the blood clan changed dramatically.
"Fighting Spirit..."
"This is Fighting Spirit!"
