Chapter 290: Three Kings Divide
The three demon hunters discussed in a low voice for a while and confirmed that they had not found the wrong person. Suddenly, everyone felt ecstatic as if they had won a prize from the sky.

The Council of Order attaches great importance to this group of wanted criminals and has offered a bounty that is hard to refuse. Once a Demon Hunter finds someone, he can even level up three levels on the spot and enjoy unlimited resource cultivation.

In addition, the federal government and the Life Court also offered high rewards.

It can be said that Shen Cheng and his group are now a mobile human super jackpot, and anyone who knows about it can’t wait to come up and take a bite of them.

Even though the wanted order had warned people that Shen Cheng was extremely dangerous, it could not stop the hunters from going all in.

"Let's go, be careful and don't make any noise."

A demon hunter spoke, his voice trembling slightly.

He seemed to be able to see countless honors and rewards waving at him in the distance.

Another demon hunter suddenly raised a suspicious voice: "Wait a minute, why is that man gone?"

The other two demon hunters also quickly looked over with binoculars and found that Shen Cheng, who was supposed to be lying on the beach chair, was indeed missing.

They looked everywhere but couldn't find Shen Cheng.

"Could he have run into the villa?"

"No, I was watching it the whole time, and it suddenly disappeared."

"Are you looking for me?"

"Nonsense, who else should I look for if not you..."

A demon hunter answered subconsciously, but stopped talking before he could finish.

He stiffened his body and slowly turned his head to look at his two companions.

Then, the three of them looked up at the sky at the same time.

Shen Cheng, who was supposed to be several kilometers away, was floating above the three people's heads, looking down at them.

The three people's minds suddenly went blank. All thoughts related to honor and rewards disappeared, leaving only one last thought.

Mom, I won’t be home for dinner tonight!

Shen Cheng raised his hand and pointed it at them. Strong light gathered in his hand and then sprayed out.

The three demon hunters had no power to resist and were burned to ashes on the spot by this extremely dense energy.

Shen Cheng looked at the charred ashes on the ground; the good mood he had accumulated over the past month had completely disappeared.

Not only the federal government and the Life Tribunal, but also the highest institution, the Council of Order, are mobilizing their private forces to hunt down Shen Cheng and his group, just like they were hunting down the Stargazers.

Now the Forbidden Demon Hunters have found the vicinity of the Black Sea. Even if Shen Cheng kills these three guys, their deaths will alert the rest of the Forbidden Demon Hunters.

Next, you don’t have to guess that there will be a steady stream of enemies arriving here, and the leisurely days will be over.

When Shen Cheng returned to the Black Sea coast, everyone was looking at him.

“The federal government came to us.”

Shen Cheng said something that made everyone's heart sink.

They spent a leisurely month here, almost forgetting the threat from outside and that they were on the run.

No one spoke, everyone was still looking at Shen Cheng, waiting for him to make a decision.

Shen Cheng didn't waste any words and directly said what he had already prepared in his heart: "I plan to go to the Eternal Empire to avoid the limelight. Does anyone want to follow me?"

His question was mainly directed to Wei Yiting, Shi Liu, Jiang Yingyue and Cheng Ying, and the others would definitely follow him.

After a few seconds of silence, Wei Yiting spoke first: "Forget it. As long as my parents are not far away, I will still stay in the Federation."

Yan Qiuli asked worriedly, "Sister Wei, aren't you afraid of being caught by the federal government?"

Wei Yiting patted her head gently and smiled: "It's okay, my identity should not be exposed."

Even if she was really exposed, with her family connections, at most she would be taken away and imprisoned, and her life would not be in danger.

Wei Yiting’s words made Shen Cheng a little depressed. Why was his identity exposed directly?

"Ms. Wei Yiting, I will go back to the Federation with you."

Cheng Ying also spoke up at this time: "I want to go and pay tribute to my sister."

Her file in the Life Court had long been taken away and destroyed by Yan Yubin, and Yan Yubin had long since died, so her file no longer existed in the Life Court. Now she was completely free.

She had thought about following Shen Cheng to the Eternal Empire, but since Shen Cheng didn't try to keep her, she wouldn't try to please him.

"You want to come with me? Sure!"

Wei Yiting did not refuse Cheng Ying's request: "I will protect you on the way."

Cheng Ying said gratefully: "Thank you."

Shi Liu also rubbed Jiang Yingyue's head with his hand: "I plan to take Yingyue out to avoid the limelight and gain some experience. I will not accompany you to the Eternal Empire."

Jiang Yingyue opened her mouth. She actually wanted to continue staying with Shen Cheng, but since her master had made the decision, she had no reason to object.

No one wants to go to the Eternal Empire, and Shen Cheng understands that.

After all, it is a distant and unfamiliar country. Who would be willing to leave their hometown unless it is necessary?
As time was running out, everyone just said goodbye on the beach.

Jiang Yingyue finally burst into tears and gave everyone a hug reluctantly, including Yan Qiuli, who had been competing with her for favor recently.

Yan Qiuli's eyes also turned red as she secretly handed a crystal ball that could bring luck to Jiang Yingyue.

If it weren't for Shen Cheng, the two of them could indeed become good friends.

Finally, Wei Yiting also smiled and opened her arms to Shen Cheng.

In front of everyone, Shen Cheng hugged her tightly and openly.

After the two sides parted once in Hanyunzhou Prefecture, they parted again, and this time, they didn't know when they would meet again.

"I'll wait for you to come back to the Federation."

After Wei Yiting left a word in Shen Cheng's ear, she decisively turned around and left with Cheng Ying without any dragging her feet or fussing.

After the two of them disappeared into the distance, Shi Liu also took Jiang Yingyue and said goodbye to everyone.

Soon, the villa standing by the sea became farther and farther away, indicating that the happiness and leisure of this month would also become a memory.

Seeing Jiang Yingyue's eyes full of reluctance and her frequent look back, Shi Liu felt a little distressed.

This month, for her, who was only ten years old, was probably the happiest time in her life.

With her favorite master and brother around her, as well as noisy peers, she can enjoy herself to her heart's content without having to go through danger and setbacks every day. Shi Liu didn't want to ruin Jiang Yingyue's happy time, but she couldn't leave Jiang Yingyue with Shen Cheng either, because under Shen Cheng's protection, Jiang Yingyue would definitely become mediocre, wasting her precocious talent.

For Jiang Yingyue's future, Shi Liu had to take her away with great pain and find a more suitable environment for her to grow up.

"Yingyue."

Shi Liu touched his apprentice's head with his hand and said, "When your brother comes back from the Eternal Empire, or when you are an adult, we will go find him, okay?"

Jiang Yingyue was surprised: "Really?"

"Of course, when has the master ever lied to you?"

"Woo woo woo, Master, you are the best."

Jiang Yingyue, crying with joy, threw herself into her master's arms.

After Shi Liu and Jiang Yingyue left, there were only six people left on the beach.

Although there were a lot of people, there was a feeling of loneliness and melancholy, which was completely different from the previous bustle.

Seeing that the other five people's eyes were on him, Shen Cheng raised his hand and waved.

"lets go."

Before leaving, he flattened the entire villa, as there were traces of everyone's life in the past month. If he left it there, someone might find out something.

Apart from this, there is no special luggage or valuables that need to be carried. With Shen Cheng's alchemy skills, it is equivalent to having endless resources.

He could even produce human blood, so Xiao Qingque no longer needed to go out to find food and could enjoy endless blood at home.

After demolishing the villa, Shen Cheng used alchemy to build an airplane, filled the plane with energy, and flew into the sky with everyone on board.

Shortly after they left, a large group of demon hunters came from all directions and tightly surrounded an entire section of the coastline.

All they were left with was an empty beach and a few signs of activity, but nothing else.

The demon hunters could only sigh in despair, because after crossing the Black Sea, it was either the Dragon Realm or the Eternal Empire, neither of which they could set foot in casually.

It’s not that they are afraid of causing diplomatic disputes, but they are afraid that they will not be able to come back after going.

……

Ten thousand meters in the sky, Shen Cheng's plane was quietly shuttling through the clouds.

Inside the cabin, Ning Qing was telling everyone about the current internal situation of the Eternal Empire, while reminding them of some taboos.

"Everyone, once you arrive at the Eternal Empire, don't ever mention the name vampire again."

Ning Qing's expression was very serious. Although she usually had a serious expression, this time it was particularly serious: "The residents of the Eternal Empire believe that the name vampire is an insulting term given by humans. If you dare to call them that in person, it is very likely to anger them and cause unnecessary conflicts."

Yan Qiuli asked curiously: "Then what should we call them?"

Ning Qing replied, "You can call them by their names or their positions. The residents of the Eternal Empire believe that they are a different kind of people from humans. They consider themselves to be the Eternals. Just treat them as a special kind of human being."

After a pause, she continued, "The Eternal Empire is very discriminatory against humans, and generally regards humans as slaves and food, so everyone should be as careful as possible when facing them."

Yan Qiuli rolled her eyes slightly: "Isn't this a double standard?"

They clearly feel offended and discriminated against by the name of vampires given to them by humans, but in the end they become even more discriminatory towards humans.

Ning Qing had nothing to say about this. After all, the residents of the Eternal Empire had been treating humans as food since birth, so how could they treat humans equally? And the Eternal Empire itself was a country with a very serious class concept.

Not to mention humans, they also treat vampires of lower status as slaves.

That is why many vampires who suffer from oppression and bullying flee to the Human Federation, which they regard as slaves.

"Don't worry, Xiaoyanzi."

Xiao Qingque lay on the table and said with a smile: "If you are afraid of being discriminated against, come and let me take a bite. I guarantee that you will immediately become a superior person."

She rested her chin on one hand, and hid the other hand underneath, busying herself between Shen Cheng's legs.

Shen Cheng was helpless. He couldn't stop his sudden desire, so he could only let Xiao Qingque secretly help him solve it with her hands.

Fortunately, Tian Xuanxing and Bai Qiu Ning were sitting far away and talking in low voices, and did not notice the movement here, and Yan Qiuli did not notice it either.

As for Ning Qing, Shen Cheng couldn't say for sure whether she had discovered it or not.

Yan Qiuli did not object to Xiao Qingque's proposal. Instead, she frowned and looked a little conflicted.

Because Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque are both vampires, Yan Qiuli has no resistance to becoming a vampire.

But she felt that such an important matter could not be decided rashly. Once she became a vampire, there would be no chance to regret it.

"Brother, do you think I should become a vampire?"

"No, you're fine being a human being right now."

Shen Cheng reached out and knocked on Xiao Qingque's head: "Don't always seduce her."

Before resolving the curse of blood, it is not a good idea to turn Yan Qiuli into a vampire.

Xiao Qingque was somewhat dissatisfied and pinched Shen Cheng hard below as a revenge.

Ning Qing pretended not to notice the interaction between Shen Cheng and Xiao Qingque below, and continued to talk about the situation inside the Eternal Empire.

But in her heart she was complaining about the new master, saying that he was so impatient that he wanted to play such little tricks even on the run and asked his sister to help him play.

After listening to Ning Qing's story, everyone finally had a general understanding of the strange Eternal Empire.

After the Eternal Emperor was divided up, the Eternal Empire had a period of peace and stability, known as the Period of Three Kings, when three blood kings jointly governed the empire.

However, the good times did not last long. After a series of defeats in foreign wars, the contradictions between the three blood kings became increasingly prominent. After a series of political struggles, the originally stable alliance of the three kings became history. The three blood kings each ruled an area, ushering in an era of division among the three kings.

During the years of division among the three kings, the Eternal Empire shifted from external expansion to maintaining internal stability. The three forces fought openly and covertly, and conflicts continued to accumulate.

Although under the suppression of the three blood kings, no real war broke out among the various forces, various contradictions, conflicts and armed frictions have always existed.

As time went by, cracks began to appear in the originally unified empire. The subjects ruled by each bloody king no longer regarded the subjects of other kings as their compatriots.

This situation lasted for about a hundred years until a major incident occurred more than twenty years ago.

One of the blood kings named Bai Jun actually gave birth to a child and had a unique heir.

The fertility rate of vampires is extremely low, especially the three blood kings. From the birth of the Eternal Empire to the present, they have never given birth to offspring, and are considered to be cursed with infertility. Now Bai Jun has actually broken the curse.

The entire Eternal Empire was jubilant at that time, and even the other two Blood Kings were very happy, which meant that they were not unable to have offspring.

However, afterwards, Bai Jun, who had successfully given birth to offspring, and his descendants disappeared one after another.
