The An Lan Holy Clan

Blood, brains, and corpses!

The smell of blood permeated the entire cabin in an instant. It was so disgusting that everyone went silent from fear!

The strong curly-bearded man's ferociousness and cruelty frightened everyone.

He ripped his cotton clothes, revealing his armor, which was covered in blade and ax marks, as well as a very obvious blood-red umbrella mark on the left side of the chest armor.

He was part of…

"The Blood Umbrella Organization!"

All the passengers in the cabin suddenly gasped.

Everyone knew this notorious rebel organization in the misty area of zombies.

Chen Gou also felt bitter. If it had been any other evil bandit, there might still have been a chance to buy their lives.

However, the best outcome when one was in the hands of the Blood Umbrella Organization was falling to death. Otherwise, one would likely become a test subject for the virus!

Everyone realized in horror that the magic in their bodies had been sealed completely and they couldn't use any skills that required MP.

"Is that the diamond-grade military artifact Magic Prohibition Ball?"

Chen Gou was shocked to see a bandit behind the strong curly-bearded man holding a pure-white crystal ball.

An artifact of this level could even be called a precious treasure!

It could usually turn the tables around in a battle, and the Blood Umbrella Organization did not have many of these artifacts.

What was on board this aircraft that could make them go to such lengths?

Besides the strong curly-bearded man, there had originally been five people in each corner of the cabin. They had snuck an attack on a few soldiers at once and successfully finished them all off to gain control of the situation.

Meanwhile, three of them were running toward the cockpit.

They looked fierce upon removing their disguise, particularly the mysterious man in the middle wearing a hooded cloak. He had an extremely powerful vitality and mind, and one's gaze would bounce back when one looked at him.

The void behemoth could fly on its own without a pilot.

However, such a magical creature did not have a high intelligence. It would need people to interact with it to control its direction and speed.

The three of them forced their way into the cockpit that was located at the very front of the passenger cabin, and a violent battle erupted inside that ended soon.

In less than three minutes, one of the bandits that had gone in came out and told the strong curly-bearded man, "Second Brother, Boss has control over the void beast. Let's fly past the Great Wall and enter the misty area."

"I don't have time to pay attention to you guys now. Be good and I might give you a chance to live when we reach our destination. Otherwise, all your brains will be blown!"

The strong curly-bearded man shouted coldly as he walked forward, his eyes searching through the male hostages on the left.

Those that his hungry tiger-like gaze fell upon couldn't help but lower their heads, wondering who he was looking for.

Eventually, he focused on a man with a black animal skin cloak and an ordinary iron mask.

The strong curly-bearded man held the mallet with both hands and rested it on his shoulders before he looked down at him and bantered with him. "Are you Young Master An Zhanyu?"

"An Zhanyu?"

"It can't be the reviled An Zhanyu from the Holy City, right?!"

"His cloak has a white longsword graphic, which is a symbol of the Abyss Keepers… I happen to have heard that An Zhanyu caused a huge disaster in the Holy City a month ago. He was stripped of all privileges by the tribunal and sent to the Great Wall to guard the border…"

Upon hearing An Zhanyu's name, many hostages cried out in shock.

An Zhanyu was synonymous with evil in the Holy City. He was even more loathsome than demons.

He had done a lot of sensational things.

For example, just because someone had confronted him on the street, he had chopped off his limbs and turned him into a human club. No one had been allowed to heal him.

For example, during his training at the Knight Academy, he had forced four female classmates to hold an almsgiving meeting with him in the classroom.

Another example was a month ago, when he had used some kind of magic aphrodisiac to defile a High Priestess of the Covenant who was good friends with his mother!

Although the High Priestess was not strong, she came from a respected family and had an extremely high status in the Covenant. Many of the Three Great Knights respected her greatly.

An Zhanyu had experienced no less than five assassinations in just one month due to the huge trouble he had caused.

"It's me. What do you guys want to do? I'm afraid you're going to be disappointed if you ask for ransom for kidnapping me. I've been disowned by the An Family, so they won't care about me."

The man removed the mask from his face, revealing that he was actually only 17 or 18 years old. He was still only a teenager.

He spoke with an indifferent smile, looking not even the slightest bit worried about his situation. He raised his head and locked eyes with the strong curly-bearded man, his gaze exuding arrogance!

"It's fine as long as you are him. You don't have to worry about us getting a ransom."

The strong curly-bearded man sneered and signaled for the two men behind him to get An Zhanyu out and drag him aside.

At that moment, a long stern warning echoed inside the cockpit.

"Attention, Flight Panshi No. 278! You have triggered the alarm! Immediately land at your designated destination! Let me repeat this: Immediately land at your designated destination!"

This was obviously the guards in the castle below talking through a special magical artifact after discovering something different in the void beast's flight path.

"This is the Blood Umbrella Organization's Blood Thorn Team. We have hijacked Void Beast Panshi 278. There are 35 hostages in the passenger cabin, including the An Lan Holy Clan's Young Master An Zhanyu. Please send a message to the An Family…"

In the cockpit, a calm voice said, "Five platinum-grade pieces of equipment or Skill Crystals for his life."

The cabin then fell silent.

Everyone's hearts pounded with fear, as the next few seconds would decide their fate.

They were worried that the defenders below would act like some fighting races on Earth, thus ignoring the hostage threats and directly launching their battle-grade magical weapons to blast the void beast, which would obliterate the hostages along with the bandits!

Five seconds, ten seconds, fifteen seconds…

The void beast had safely dashed through the Great Wall's line of defense and entered the misty area without suffering an attack from the Great Wall.

Everyone was relieved, as it seemed that An Zhanyu's identity was still useful.

The Abyss Keepers had always acted in such a way, and it wasn't like they had never done this before.

"The Abyss Keepers still don't know that I've been removed from the An Family, which is why they didn't attack, but you still won't get the ransom. I'm sure you know better than me how ruthless the elders of the An Family can be," An Zhanyu casually said with a chuckle, as though seeing the bandits surrender was more important than his life.

"You little son of a b*tch, do you really think we went through the trouble to kidnap you just for a few pieces of equipment?"

The strong curly-bearded man said with a sneer, "What we want is the An Lan Clan's purple blood you have!"

The An Lan Clan's blood! Are they trying to extract the bloodline of the An Lan Clan?

Chen Gou was immediately shocked to hear this. The Blood Umbrella Organization's true purpose was actually to seek the An Lan Clan's holy blood.

The Church of the Covenant had a long heritage and had existed since before the abysses. The successive popes had always chosen virtuous people out of the archbishops to serve the church.

However, ever since the abysses had descended and the evil spirits had invaded the place, the position of the Pope had been monopolized by the three most powerful clans, also known as the Three Holy Clans.

The An Lan Clan possessed a far more powerful bloodline heritage than the Arslan Clan. Their blood would gradually turn purple as their Awakened Level rose and it contained an extremely powerful tyrannical power.

An Zhanyu, who was happy to hear the truth, said with a smile, "So I don't have to die for the time being?"

"I can only promise that you won't die before the Z-Virus bloodline potion is successfully created."

The bandits' mysterious boss came out of the cockpit and spoke. His face was unusually pale, obviously due to mental exhaustion. It was evident that forcibly controlling a void beast had put a great burden on him.

"We are all reviled villains, so I'll be straightforward… How about I join you guys?"

"You want to join us?" A bandit was startled on the spot.

"That's right!" An Zhanyu said seriously. "I promise to cooperate with you on the bloodline potion research. Let me join the Blood Umbrella Organization. Haven't you guys noticed that… the Blood Umbrella Organization is heaven for a person like me? Ha ha ha!"

Upon hearing that, everyone realized this was really the case. Weren't reviled villains supposed to follow the crowd blindly and associate themselves with evil deeds by joining a reviled den of sinister forces?

"You're really bad, but I like it!" The strong curly-bearded man shouted and started roaring with laughter.

So they were going to collude?

Chen Gou silently scolded An Zhanyu for being shameless, but he was more worried about how he would get out of the current situation.
