Whenever he discovered a lone or isolated vampire entering or leaving, he would tail them, waiting for the right moment to strike.
A day later, he noticed a vampire taking advantage of the cover of darkness, riding in a black car to enter this "big factory."
At this time, there were still two days remaining until the fresh blood needed to be transported to the Bloodsucking Sect.
The vampires from the Bloodsucking Sect arrived a day early, presumably to inspect the goods, verify the quantity, and ensure that the royal nobles of the Alexander Empire had done their job correctly.
Lin Yifan felt the timing was finally right and kept his eyes peeled, monitoring the situation around the clock without even pausing to eat.
After over ten hours, he still gained nothing.
Once the group of vampires entered, they never came back out, seemingly planning to stay inside until the train embarked the next day.
Lin Yifan thought, continuing to wait passively like this wouldn't be effective, and he needed to take action.
After pondering for a while, he decided to use himself as bait to lure a vampire out.
Thus, under the cover of night, when most people were relaxed, he quietly approached the "big factory" and employed Qinggong to swiftly leap over the high wall and slip inside the "big factory."
The "big factory" had quite a few trees, and Lin Yifan stealthily moved from one tree to another; then from a tree to another building.
In this manner, he gradually approached a large warehouse.
This large warehouse was probably one of the cold storage units for the fresh blood; the Bloodsucking Sect didn't store all the fresh blood in one warehouse for the same reason eggs aren't put in one basket.
This precaution was in case an enemy attacked the warehouse, which would otherwise lead to severe losses.
There were many such large warehouses inside the "big factory," and this one was on the outskirts, allowing Lin Yifan to get close quickly.
However, when he was still twenty meters from the large warehouse, the vampire guarding it sensed him.
Consequently, the vampire guarding the large warehouse silently flew out, advancing to kill him.
As Lin Yifan was moving, he suddenly felt a strong aura approaching swiftly. Without hesitation, he executed Great Roc Spreading Wings, a super Qinggong, and quickly flew out of the "big factory."
Just as he left, the vampire arrived, a close call indeed.
The vampire guarding the warehouse never expected Lin Yifan to react so quickly, fleeing immediately as he was about to attack. What was even more astounding was Lin Yifan's speed in Qinggong, not inferior to his own Flying Shadow Bat.
But when Lin Yifan employed Qinggong to escape, it also exposed his strength. Divine Transformation Second Realm Peak, a level below his own, so he was unafraid; thus, he pursued relentlessly.
Since Lin Yifan dared to target the Bloodsucking Sect's "food," he was surely from another Cultivation Organization; the vampire wanted to unmask Lin Yifan and identify the mastermind opposing the Bloodsucking Sect, to report to the archbishop.
He pursued with all his might, yet he, a Divine Transformation Third Realm Middle Stage, couldn't catch Lin Yifan, which puzzled him greatly.
Despite being two small realms above Lin Yifan, why couldn't he catch up?
In the end, he attributed the issue to skill level.
Lin Yifan's Qinggong was far superior to his Flying Shadow Bat, so it made sense that he couldn't catch up.
However, as Lin Yifan was a cultivator in a realm lower than his, maintaining such a high-level Qinggong for long would definitely exhaust him; therefore, if he kept pursuing relentlessly, he would inevitably be the final winner.
With this assumption, he felt much more at ease. He let Lin Yifan fly around randomly while he closely followed, curious to see how long Lin Yifan could last.
Lin Yifan had been trying to reel in a big fish, and now, with the fish pursuing relentlessly, it seemed he was about to succeed.
So, after luring the vampire into an uninhabited forest on the outskirts, he began his counterattack.
The vampire's realm was Divine Transformation Third Realm Middle Stage; if he struck with full force, he should be able to kill him.
Although this vampire could hide his true realm during pursuit, Lin Yifan didn't think a cultivator who knew they could catch up to the enemy would abandon pursuit capriciously; therefore, he concluded that the vampire's realm was indeed Divine Transformation Third Realm Middle Stage.
Seeing Lin Yifan stop, the vampire smirked coldly inside, "Finally can't hold on, huh."
He thought Lin Yifan stopped due to exhaustion and thus was unguarded.
Feeling the vampire's approach, Lin Yifan turned around, coldly stating, "Your death day has come!"
"Tch! Just you? A Divine Transformation Second Realm Peak cultivator? Dream on!"
The vampire scoffed continuously, finding Lin Yifan too arrogant.
However, right after he sneered, Lin Yifan charged at him wielding the Emperor's Sword of the Beixuan Immortal.
In an instant, his heart quivered, filled with regret.
He shouldn't have given chase, as Lin Yifan's true strength was far from the feeble appearance he initially displayed, now posing a threat to his safety.
Now, it was too late to say anything, the only thing left to do was fight Lin Yifan to the death.
Thus, he manifested his Ghost Claw, employing Ghost Claw Eighteen Forms Martial Arts to attack Lin Yifan.
In a flash, a force verging on the Divine Transformation Third Realm Peak burst forth, unbelievably powerful.
This was the Bloodsucking Sect's innate martial art, the Heavenly Bat Sword was merely one of their many martial arts.
Lin Yifan frowned, not expecting a warehouse-guarding vampire to possess such super martial arts, indicating he had underestimated the opponent's strength.
However, he firmly believed his Beixuan Sword Technique could win in one move.
Therefore, he attacked straightforwardly without any hesitation or retreat.
As the Emperor's Sword slashed through the hardened ghost claw, with a "swoosh," Lin Yifan decapitated the vampire with a single stroke.
The vampire initially intended to seize Lin Yifan's Emperor's Sword with his ghost claw, but unfortunately, he underestimated the sharpness of the Emperor's Sword in Lin Yifan's hand.
It could cut through iron like mud, let alone your Divine Transformation Third Realm Peak ghost claw.
So, without explanation, no chance was given, just a straightforward resolution.
Lin Yifan had said, the Emperor's Sword shouldn't be revealed lightly, once drawn, it must claim blood; hence, this attacking vampire was purely courting death.
After dealing with the vampire, Lin Yifan stripped the clothes and mask off the vampire and dressed himself in new clothes and face.
Thus, he became a vampire, though superficially only.
The dead vampire on the ground was about the same build and height as Lin Yifan, with similarly black pupils, allowing Lin Yifan to gain greatly by such luck.
