The combat capabilities of the personnel were basically confirmed, and from Ilyana, Xiao Yefeng learned about the purpose of those iron chains. It turned out that the chains, glowing with a red light, were specifically designed to restrain vampires' Blood Energy. Although they appeared black and red, these chains had been passed down for centuries and were meant to punish unruly vampires.
The black color was actually silver, but years of lying dormant in the water had caused them to turn black due to centuries of accumulation. The red light came from the blood of Dracula that dripped onto the chains during their forging. With the dual restraints of silver, the vampire's nemesis, and Dracula's blood, all those vampires were unable to summon their Blood Energy.
Even though they could not summon their Blood Energy, it did not mean they could be harmed by the chains. As soon as those restraints were removed, they would immediately regain their Blood Energy. Therefore, Xiao Yefeng's greatest concern was alleviated.
The completely crimson chain binding Uncle Mei was also made of silver and was specifically used to restrain prince-level vampires. It was mixed with Meteorite material, which was why Uncle Mei could not break free. Perhaps Abel did not even know that there was not a trace of vampire Blood Energy within Uncle Mei; thus, using such silver chains was entirely unnecessary.
What worried Xiao Yefeng the most was whether these individuals would show mercy to Abel's subordinates once they were freed. After all, the Ferrad Family was the last remaining vampire clan. If they suffered further losses in battle, would this family survive? Although Xiao Yefeng understood the schemes against Earth, these vampires were unaware of it. If they couldn't go all out, Xiao Yefeng would be shooting himself in the foot!
However, time was not on his side. At this moment, only high-level vampires remained in the castle; it was the best time to act. He couldn't dwell on these thoughts any longer. Even if these individuals couldn't kill Abel's people, they could still buy Xiao Yefeng time to rescue Uncle Mei. With that thought in mind, Xiao Yefeng pulled Ilyana and stealthily approached the dungeon. Who would believe that he, a Huaxia person, could be trusted by those vampires?
With the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet in hand, Xiao Yefeng moved smoothly despite bringing someone along; however, his speed had decreased to a point where he could only walk.
As they approached the dungeon door again, Xiao Yefeng contemplated whether to use his Yin-Yang Sword to cut through the heavy iron door. Just then, a series of footsteps echoed nearby. He pulled Ilyana against the wall and signaled her to be silent before watching as a group of people pushed a food cart down.
Seeing them brought a smile to Xiao Yefeng's face as he pulled Ilyana closer to the entrance. The leading man took out a special key from his waist and unlocked the door for the servants delivering food into the dungeon before turning around to close it again. This was clearly a very secure method: after feeding the prisoners dinner and cleaning up, they would knock on the door again for entry; even if a prisoner tried to escape, they wouldn't be able to leave.
Nevertheless, this provided an opportunity for Xiao Yefeng and Ilyana. Seizing the moment, they slipped into the dungeon just as one of them opened a small slot in the door: "Hank! Use the seventh code to open the door!"
"Yes, Mr. Hawkins!" replied Hank, who was pushing the food cart. Clearly, he was one of the high-level individuals among this group. Xiao Yefeng decided to focus on him; thank you for being so helpful—you're going to suffer!
At that moment, Xiao Yefeng heard a click as Hawkins sealed off the last bit of opening outside. Meanwhile, Hank continued pushing his cart: "I’ll feed everyone soon; I’m heading down to the next level!"
As he finished speaking, several ordinary servants brought out trays of food and headed towards the water prison on the first level, where the vampires were confined. He himself pushed a cart towards the entrance of the next level. At that moment, Xiao Yefeng pulled Ilyana along as they followed Hank down to the second level. They watched as Hank opened the large door, and the two of them quickly followed, finally laying eyes on Uncle Mei, trapped within the water prison. Upon seeing Hank delivering food, Uncle Mei scoffed, "Hmph! Lackey! Is your master going to torment me again?"
"Mr. Mei! The master only wants a word from you. I believe Sister Luna wouldn't want to see your current miserable state either. Just tell the master everything!" With a grunt, Hank pulled out a barbed whip from the cart and collapsed onto it, laden with delicious food.
"Hmm?" Mei Chuanqiong paused for a moment, then his eyes lit up with surprise as he saw someone he had long awaited appear, along with someone who shouldn't be there.
"You talk too much. If it weren't for you knowing the exit code, I'd have already killed you with a single finger!" Xiao Yefeng realized that his presence could no longer be concealed by the Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet, while Ilyana had already lunged towards the cage imprisoning Mei Chuanqiong.
"Master Xiao! You really came! Nana, you shouldn't have come back!" Mei Chuanqiong looked at them both.
"Uncle Mei, you're too polite. How could I stand by while you're in trouble?" With a clang, the Yin-Yang Sword appeared in Xiao Yefeng's hand. The blade unsheathed, and the Golden Cyan Carefree Righteousness sliced through the entrance of the water prison like a dragon dancing through water. In a flurry of sword light, the red chains binding him were severed by Xiao Yefeng. These chains were specifically designed for vampires, and their hardness surpassed what Xiao Yefeng believed was possible. Fortunately, the Yin-Yang Sword was sharp enough, combined with Xiao Yefeng's immense strength, allowing him to break them with a single touch.
Skipping over their conversation, Mei Chuanqiong briefly informed Xiao Yefeng of everything that had happened, confirming much of what Xiao Yefeng had suspected. However, at this moment for Xiao Yefeng, those details were not important; what mattered most was that he had rescued the crucial person. Now they just needed to escape this Ferrad Family castle!
The Spirit Hidden Jade Tablet could accommodate someone of average size fairly well, but carrying the tall and robust Mei Chuanqiong was impossible. They still needed to rescue the other ten or so vampires above; after all, strategically speaking, they were all allies. Practically speaking, these vampires were also Luna's and Ilyana's people, so they had to be saved!
Leaving the two behind on the second underground level, Xiao Yefeng ventured alone using stealth to reach the first level. Indeed, he found that these servants were feeding each vampire. However, one should not assume that just because these people referred to the vampires as "masters," they would treat them with great humility; clearly, these vampires were fiercely loyal to Luna and Ilyana and looked down upon this meager food being offered.
"You worthless lackeys! Once I'm out of here, I'll drain every last drop of your blood!" The strongest vampire among them was Davis, who was once close to being a peak-level Vampire Count. Naturally, he showed no courtesy towards the servant feeding him low-quality food.
However, he forgot that status is often determined by one's master; these servants belonged to Abel's faction. With their master's hatred for the main branch and now having turned the tables on them, their tempers flared. At that moment, one servant suddenly dumped all of Davis's food into the water with a loud crash and sneered at him with an air of superiority: "Hmph! You've fallen into the hands of the great Young Master Abel; do you still dare throw a tantrum?"
With a resounding slap, this servant struck Davis's face—a noble who had lived his life in luxury—while ironically being delivered by someone of far lower status than him: a servant hitting one who was only second in rank to a vampire prince—the count who was head of each generation of the Ferrad Family.
In an instant, the servants who had been struggling to feed the vampires looked in astonishment at the servant who had taken action. Indeed, they were arrogant, yet none dared to act as he did. At that moment, the servant who struck said, "Everyone relax, these guys are as good as dead. I've heard from Young Master Abel that he will soon drain their blood to strengthen his Blood Energy, so there's no need to worry about them escaping. The moment they walked in here, they sealed their fate!"
With those words, the vampires were left in shock, their eyes filled with hatred. The servant who had been feeding them immediately changed his demeanor; some even dumped their bowls of soup directly onto the faces of the vampires imprisoned in the water dungeon. The transformation of humanity was vividly displayed in that moment, and every servant who struck a blow did not hesitate to do so. Perhaps it was the pent-up hatred that erupted; one bold servant even reached out to grab the chest of a female vampire confined in the water dungeon, where the silver shackles left her powerless to resist.
Faced with the servant's violation, the Female Vampire's eyes turned blood-red. This was human nature; when you know that the person before you is doomed to die, you become bolder. It cannot be denied that this is human nature—it is both a key to human development and a double-edged sword!
This scene reassured Xiao Yefeng greatly because it meant that these vampires would show no mercy towards Abel's subordinates—fellow vampires. The servant's words had extinguished any last remnants of compassion these vampires might have felt for Abel's people.
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!" The sound of slicing air echoed like a rain of flowers as more than a dozen feeding servants froze mid-action, caught in a moment of chaos—dancing wildly, acting lewdly; even the servant who had been urinating into the water dungeon stopped.
"Who goes there?" Count David was the first to react, looking around after receiving a slap.
"Of course, it's someone here to save you! So, do you need my help? Do you want to live?" Xiao Yefeng's figure gradually appeared in the center of the dungeon. Upon seeing him, all the vampires stared at Xiao Yefeng in astonishment.
At that moment, Ilyana, who had been waiting impatiently, rushed out. The sight of Ilyana ignited excitement among the vampires; their concern was clearly genuine. Xiao Yefeng nodded appreciatively; it was evident that these individuals truly cared for Ilyana.
