Running A Cemetery in North America

"Shit." Sun Yan couldn't help but curse softly.

Just as one wave subsides, another arises.

He had just dealt with Ailanda and the Sheep's Eye Tree, and now a group of people appeared, whose intentions were unknown, making him feel quite troubled.

Each of them was armed, and once the fight started, it would be extremely disadvantageous for his side.

The motorcycles drew closer, and seeing the thousands of blood kin surrounding the entire graveyard, these people took off their helmets, revealing expressions of shock.

"The Sheep's Eye Tree has been eliminated? How is that possible? Even without deploying our most elite combat units, it's unlikely anyone could be a match for an Evil God's avatar."

"Now's not the time for that talk; we need to control this group of blood kin. If they escape, the consequences would be extremely troublesome."

"Action!"

After parking their motorcycles, these people immediately dismounted, raised their weapons, and launched an attack on the blood kin surrounding the graveyard.

Their weapons were all strangely shaped, resembling medieval knight's swords with silver plating, giving them a historical and antiquish feel.

However, once these antique weapons sliced through the blood kin's bodies, their wounds sizzled and emitted smoke like boiling water.

The blood kin fell to the ground in pain, rolling about incessantly.

Just a few seconds later, they stopped moving altogether; their injured skin started to dissolve, as if encountering a fierce fire.

Seeing this, Sun Yan was instantly taken aback: "Sacred Artifact?"

During the days he lived with Sosia and Elise, the three would chat when they had downtime.

Sosia once mentioned to Sun Yan about the existence of 'Sacred Artifacts.'

The earliest Sacred Artifacts originated from the time of Jesus: the spear that wounded him, the shroud that wrapped him, and the Cross that bound him—all Sacred Artifacts, possessing the power to combat demons.

During the Crusades, many Holy Knights wanted to mimic this and spent lavishly on creating swords, which were then blessed and prayed over by a bishop.

This ritual imbued the swords with the power of Holy Light, thus the term 'Second Generation Sacred Artifact' arose.

The Holy Knights of the Crusade used these Sacred Artifacts' swords to eradicate countless demons in Europe.

Gradually, Sacred Artifacts became potent symbols of power for the Church.

But after the Middle Ages, the Crusaders disbanded over time, and many of those swords scattered worldwide.

They became antiques and collectibles.

It turned out that the mysterious guests here were all wielding Sacred Artifacts.

Seeing this, Sun Yan couldn't help feeling surprised—who were these people, carrying such sophisticated gear?

With the front faced by the Demon-Slaying Crossbow Tower and Celestial Thunder Altar, and the back attacked by mysterious people wielding Sacred Artifacts, the blood kin led by the Blood Race soon plunged into chaos.

Though great in number, they died in waves; Sun Yan's group, though few, each had a Demon Exorcism Shotgun, giving the blood kin no chance to defend.

With crumbling morale, the remaining blood kin no longer fought for the Morolick Clan, turning to flee.

The dozens of Blood Race from the Morolick Clan who came along with Ailanda turned pale with dread.

"How could this happen! Mother Goddess Ailanda was supposed to lead the Morolick Clan to rejuvenation—why did it come to this? That Asian actually killed the Mother Goddess!"

"It's all over now... Without Ailanda, without the Sheep's Eye Tree, we can't possibly capture Saint Anna City..."

"Forget about Saint Anna City; we must escape! We can't die here."

Among the blood kin, those in formal wear quickly reacted, wings growing from their backs as they prepared to fly away.

But the mysterious arrivals seemed to expect this, drawing silver crossbow arrows from their backs and began shooting at the fleeing Blood Race in the sky.

Each silver arrow pierced into their bodies, and those running away screamed incessantly, falling from the air one after another.

Silverware inflicts a damage akin to sunlight to the Blood Race.

Silver could cause far more damage to their bodies than firearms.

For years, Morolick Clan kept a low profile, afraid to incite chaos within human society because they couldn't compete with human governance with the few Blood Race still active.

Humans could easily dispatch an army equipped with specialized weapons to suppress them.

Thus, Morolick Clan could only pin their hopes for rejuvenation on the 'Evil God.'

They successfully summoned the Sheep's Eye Tree's descent in Gold Mine Town.

With the Sheep's Eye Tree's power, Mother Goddess Ailanda, as the Evil God's host, struck a deal with the Evil God Council.

The Evil God Council negotiated a limited 'disappearing' period for Morolick Clan, leveraging their mainland influence.

During this time, Morolick Clan could freely expand their influence.

The Evil God Council ensured no interference, nor any subsequent consequences for Morolick Clan.

In exchange for this, Morolick Clan agreed to serve the Evil God Council forever.

Morolick Clan's plan was to first conquer all towns surrounding Saint Anna City, infecting the populace as Living Dead.

They would then deploy this army to overrun Saint Anna City, converting the citizens to blood kin.

Thus, Saint Anna City and its nearby areas would become the Morolick Clan's territory.

With numerous blood kin as servants, Morolick Clan's former glory would be within reach.

Things were going smoothly; only the unnoticeable Gospel Town stood in their expansion's path.

However, what Morolick Clan members did not foresee was the downfall of both Mother Goddess Ailanda and the Sheep's Eye Tree within this town.

This shattered Morolick Clan's dreams entirely.

"Clear out all the Blood Race, as for these blood kin... control them all; don't let a single one escape. As for how, deal with it yourselves; I've notified the association, and someone from there will come to finish up soon."

The leader among the mysterious guests spoke coldly, then strode toward Sun Yan and his group.

This figure was tall and slender, with long legs, golden hair, and blue eyes—a beauty on par with top models.

Roken, who was firing the shotgun at the blood kin, saw the woman's appearance and exclaimed in disbelief: "Captain Luo Ya, is that you? Why are you here!"

"What a coincidence seeing you here, Roken."

The blonde lady tossed her long hair back and smiled casually, "Since the association's special team failure at Gold Mine Town, we've been secretly monitoring these Morolick Clan pests.

The Evil God Council has liaised well with America's upper echelon. Attempting action against Morolick Clan during this time results in immense pressure, hence we could only observe in secrecy and wait for the agreed term's expiry to intervene.

I never anticipated Saint Anna City's seemingly inevitable fall, yet you managed to kill Morolick Clan's last remaining Prince and destroy the Sheep's Eye Tree—this is... truly unexpected. More precisely, you've indirectly disrupted the Evil God Council's ambitions."

Luo Ya looked at Sun Yan, curiosity evident in her eyes.

How did this man kill the Sheep's Eye Tree and Ailanda? Earlier, due to the distance, she couldn't see clearly.

Yet, to kill an Evil God host, this power was indisputable and deserves the Exorcist Association's considerable attention.

Without Sun Yan's unforeseen intervention, Saint Anna City would have suffered terrible devastation due to the Evil God's Tree.

For Luo Ya, this man in front was someone worth establishing a connection with.

"Haha, it's what we should do." Roken laughed.
