Wanqing and Tianfeng hurriedly contacted their own chiefs to recognise any possible involvement their groups could've possibly had, but the answer was no.
'Our main group is currently tracing the Qilin's marks in the Qilin Region, sister, we don't have any groups in the Vajra Region.' Wanqing received her answer and sighed in relief, the last thing she wanted now was a confrontation with Huangshao, especially one where she is the 'criminal' and not the 'victim'.
'Keep searching, don't let them beat you!'
'I understand, sister...'
...
'We don't have any groups in the Vajra Region Sect Master, but our intel states that the Sacred Sword Sect and the Asura Demon Sect entered the Vajra Region to look after that Dark Dome.' Tianfeng also received his answer which prompted him to throw Wanqing a deep look.
...
"I don't have any groups in the Vajra Region, Huangshao." The beauty reported her situation impassively.
"Me neither, all of my elders are all focused in the Qilin." Tianfeng also said dismissively.
...
Huangshao stared at the two of them deeply, any of them could be lying and there was nothing he could do.
'After the Qilin's hunt is over, we will look for the culprit, the Qilin is way more important for us than that Dark Dome. Keep searching' He sent back stating his priorities.
'We understand, Sect Master.' He received his answer and the palace went silent once again, all of them awaiting the good news from their respective sects, saying that they had slaughtered the Qilin and snatched the breed, it would give their sects an incomparably great boost in power compared to the others.

The four nosferatu kept on their journey peacefully and it didn't take long for them to arrive in the Northern Qilin Region.
The quality of the nature energy around increased once again as they flew inside the new territory as they glanced around to notice this forest seemed more 'eccentric' to say the least. With bigger plants, wonderful colours and surreal fauna.
Just entering they visaged a giant snake with black and green colours resting atop many trees...
"Great Titanoboa, 3rd Karma Fire Grand Completion" Lingqi asserted, just entering they had witnessed a monster that is equivalent to a leader of a pack in the Vajra Region.
It served to say the vast difference between the two regions, of course, the border wasn't totally straightforward but one could tell where one finished and the other began.
"Do you want to hunt it?" Alcina asked her daughter, but the truth is, the more they hunted the more their appetite increased, this monster doesn't seem like its good enough.
Catherine however rushed down to fight it right away!
*BOOMMM!!!*
*BAANNNG!*
The trio could only gaze down as Catherine fought the animal fiercely with weary smiles.
"Mother looks like a battle maniac", Lingqi said cheerfully, amused at how her foster mother blasted the giant serpent from one way to the other.
Alucard chuckled at this with crossed arms, Catherine was the type to focus too much on the things she considered 'amusing'. If she now found amusement in hunting, then if left here, this forest would eventually be empty.
*BOOMMM!!!*
After knocking the serpent down, she once again swung her arm and blasted its head into a bloody gore as her dress tainted on its dirty blood!
*BLEW* Catherine pouted at her dress once again getting dirty as her shadow rotated and swallowed the massive boa before restoring her clothes once again.
Alcina smirked, "You need to learn how to slice Catherine, your method of fighting is rather... Brute."
"Or impale" Alucard added.
"Or electrify" Finished Lingqi as her serpent eyes sparkled.
"Fufu~, It feels great to 'crush'! Is as if I was crushing two big and baddy things, right husband?~" Catherine smirked as Alucard felt some mysterious goosebumps and some phantom pain in his crotch all of the sudden.
Her body then morphed and transformed into a gigantic reddish boa with five eyes that made the floor shake as she landed heavily!
*BOOMMM!!!!*
"Ups, too big." Her body changed again becoming smaller and floated before rolling around Alcina's neck.
"Let's continue, now that we're here we should first hunt some of those cultivators for information, preferably from the Asura Demon Sect." The count said and flew ahead as Alcina nodded together with Catherine.
...
'You're getting all chummy aren't you sister~' Alcina asked Catherine.
'What? Do you have a problem with that?' The Queen retorted.
'Not at all~ We're going to be together forever after all. I'm still kicking your butt in a year tho.' Alcina wouldn't deny that Catherine's change made her more likeable, and even arousing to some extent.
'We will see what happens in a year, but I don't mind having a fight now just to see where we stand~' The Queen was rather confident in herself now, but she knew that Alcina was bound to be a difficult opponent, it was an omnipresent being like her after all.
Whenever she faced something or someone, she knew her omnipresence was a big advantage that would give her a lot of space whenever necessary, however, she wondered how it would feel to face someone that had this same power.
'Whenever you feel confident sister~'
