The Witch Hunter System

"Unfortunately, no," the Second Progenitor calmly answered as he passed a jar of blood to the Third Progenitor to quench his thirst. Then, he said, "We were given a chance to redeem our past mistakes."

"Funnily enough, it is also an opportunity for us to feast to our heart's content. However, there's one major obstacle standing between us and this opportunity," the Second Progenitor added.

"Oh?" the Third Progenitor showed interest after delightfully finishing his jar of blood. Then, he demanded, "Tell me more about this opportunity and obstacle, Old Second."

"Later, Old Third. I'll explain when we gather our numbers. Let's go. We still have others to wake up," the Second Progenitor asserted.

"It's not just us?" the Third Progenitor was surprised by the Second Progenitor's words before narrowing his eyes. "The Blood Ancestor allowed this?"

"Not directly, no. However, I am doing what I can to carry out the Blood Ancestor's task. So, he can't fault me for this. More importantly, he is too busy recuperating from his battle with Great Devil Hecate. Thus, he won't be hearing about this until later. Kekeke," the Second Progenitor chuckled nonchalantly.

"The Blood Ancestor is injured from his battle with the Great Devil Hecate? Is this not a golden opportunity to usurp his tyrannical rule and carve out an era for ourselves?" the Third Progenitor uttered with a sharp look.

"Banish the thought from your mind at once, Old Third," the Second Progenitor strictly demanded.

"You are still muddle-headed from your forced sleep and still don't know many things. I don't want to shatter your ambition, but we have been asleep for 700,000 years. Even if the Blood Ancestor is wounded, he is still a Vampire Lord at the tenth stage of the Divine Blood Realm."

"Moreover, that is just his cultivation level. You must understand that 700,000 years is a very long time. We have no idea the height of his law comprehension nor the number of trump cards he has accumulated over this long period."

"However, I can confidently say that if the Blood Ancestor wanted to kill us, it would be far too easy for him," the Second Progenitor solemnly stated.

After the Third Progenitor listened, his head immediately cooled down like he had been splashed with a bucket of cold water.

It was naïve of him to think they stood a chance against the Blood Ancestor after just waking up.

"700,000 years, huh? What a ridiculously long time. Hmph, the Blood Ancestor would have continued letting us sleep forever if he didn't need our power," the Third Progenitor coldly snorted.

His gaze was filled with resentment and hatred.

Nevertheless, after they left, the two Vampire Lords subsequently visited the Cromwell family, Diablo family, Drusilla family, Kyran family, Luther family, Orpheus family, Sanguine family, Tepes family, Vuron family, and Vlad family.

The Fourth Progenitor to the Thirteenth Progenitor all woke up with the same simple method of receiving a drop of divine blood.

Demetrius Diablo the Fifth, Yvonne Drusilla the Sixth, Celeste Kyran the Seventh, Edwin Luther the Eighth, Rosalie Orpheus the Ninth, Aleister Sanguine the Tenth, and Gilbert the Twelfth were all in the second stage of the Divine Blood Realm.

Meanwhile, Donovan Cromwell the Fourth and Hestia Tepes the Eleventh were in the third stage of the Divine Blood Realm.

Lastly, only Marianne Vlad the Thirteenth was in the fourth stage of the Divine Blood Realm. She was the youngest and strongest vampire in the group of revived Vampire Lords.

"Old friends, after 700,000 years of slumber, we have finally reunited with the world of living. Today is a joyous occasion," Caedmon Bathory, the Third Progenitor, announced, seeming happy with their reunion.

However, his expression remained emotionless and cold.

Although the rest of the Vampire Lords were also happy to wake up, they didn't show the slightest hint of emotion either.

It was like a gathering of corpses.

In fact, it wasn't far from the truth. The Vampire Lords had only just awoken from their long slumber. They still needed time and blood energy to restore their bodily functions fully.

"Great, we are all awake. Can I leave now?" Demetrius Diablo, the Fifth Progenitor, asked impatiently with a hoarse throat.

"Not yet," the Second Progenitor asserted, taking a step forward to give the gathered Vampire Lords a hard look. "Since we have finished gathering, I need to explain the reason for your waking."

Shortly after, the Second Progenitor recounted everything he had learned since his own waking. He also warned them of the Blood Ancestor's strength and told them to banish any wild ambitions they had.

"If you don't want to be put back into forced sleep, you better help me complete the task given by the Blood Ancestor," the Second Progenitor firmly said with a hint of threat.

He did not wake up the Vampire Lords for their benefit. He did it for himself. Thus, he would not tolerate them causing trouble for him.

Nevertheless, there was still dissatisfaction among the revived Vampire Lords.

"Hmph! I would rather go back to sleep than help that Old Bastard!" Rosalie Orpheus coldly snorted before resentfully spouting, "What kind of concept is 700,000 years? Just because we were feeling a little thirsty, we were damned to such a long sleep?"

"I will never forgive that Old Bastard! Forget about helping; I can't wait to kill him!" Rosalie Orpheus stated venomously.

"Even if we all feel the same, the reality is that none of us is strong enough to resist the Blood Ancestor as we are now. So, it's better to listen to the Blood Ancestor for now," the Second Progenitor sighed.

"More importantly, if we complete his task, we aren't just helping the Blood Ancestor. We are also helping ourselves. From what I've heard, some exceedingly high-quality blood exists in the Human World."

"So, if we can conquer the Human World, the high-quality blood will belong to us. Don't you want to satisfy your thirst?" the Second Progenitor asked.

The Ninth Progenitor fell silent, and no one spoke up either. They all acknowledged his point. It was never too late to take revenge.

The prerequisite was that they had to obtain the strength to carry it out first.

"Since there is no more opposition, I will give everyone a full day

—go home, clean your houses, and recover as much strength as possible. Then, tomorrow, we feast on the Human World."

When the Second Progenitor said that, many pairs of crimson eyes sparkled.

Only a few sunk into deep thoughts.
