The battle intensified, and Gulorain gradually realized that he was facing an unprecedented and formidable opponent.
Yang Xi's power seemed to stem from the vast cosmos, every counterattack precise and forceful, leaving him almost entirely unable to parry.
Despair and remorse intertwined in his heart, and Gulorain began to reflect on his own mistakes—especially Count Ryan, who had brought disaster upon himself through greed.
He realized that the long-standing peace of his family should not be tainted by momentary avarice.
"Mighty Eastern cultivator, there is indeed no direct grievance between us. I, Gulorain, swear in the name of the Ryan Family that we deeply regret the actions of Count Ryan. He violated our family's ancient principle of non-involvement in worldly affairs, and he must bear his own fate." Gulorain's voice was low and sincere as he slowly unfurled an ancient and mysterious scroll—the Vampire Curse. This was a sacred artifact guarded by the Ryan Family for generations, symbolizing the most solemn oath and binding constraint.
"This scroll can witness and bind the souls of our Ryan Family. If our clan violates today's oath, you need only use your heart's blood as a guide and write a curse upon the scroll. Everyone in our family, whether living or dead, shall suffer irreversible punishment." Gulorain respectfully presented the scroll to Yang Xi, every word revealing his deep sincerity and determination.
