The bishop's face turned cold, and he angrily rebuked those subordinates detaining Lin Yifan: "Let go! Who told you to treat Mr. Lin so rudely? Don't you know Mr. Lin is our esteemed guest?"
The Bloodsucking Sect disciples at about the Divine Transformation Fifth Realm Peak were dumbfounded. Wasn't it just now that you ordered us to capture him? How is it our fault now?
However, given that the bishop is the bishop, they dared not defy him; so they immediately loosened their hold.
Lin Yifan regained his freedom.
The first thing he did upon regaining freedom was to immediately remove the foul-smelling clothes he was wearing.
He wore a thin layer of clothing underneath, so there was nothing embarrassing about taking off the vampire clothes.
As the mask, cloak, jacket, pants, and shoes came off one by one, an East Asian man appeared before everyone.
The Bloodsucking Sect disciples present who were unaware finally understood why the bishop ordered his own people to capture his own; it turns out this vampire was not one of them.
After taking off all his clothes, Lin Yifan calmly asked, "Where's my girlfriend? Take me to see her!"
The Orange Immortal Ring was on his hand, so he wasn't afraid of the Bloodsucking Sect's difficulties.
"Not only can you see her, but you could also take her away, and we wouldn't stop you. However, the prerequisite is that you hand over that one and only ring," the bishop of the Bloodsucking Sect replied.
"Of course, I'll hand over the ring to you, provided that you let me see my girlfriend first," Lin Yifan did not retreat.
The Orange Immortal Ring was the only leverage he had in negotiations with the Bloodsucking Sect. If he were to give it up first, he feared he wouldn't make it out alive.
"Mr. Lin, it seems you still haven't realized the situation you're in."
The bishop of the Bloodsucking Sect was somewhat displeased. He had already given Lin Yifan enough grace, but if Lin Yifan continued to refuse the toast only to drink the forfeit, he would have to search him.
"I see it clearly—entering the tiger's den, being pinned down immobile," Lin Yifan answered with an unchanged expression.
"If you know, then why dare to be so arrogant? Do you want to force us to kill and rob?" the bishop questioned.
Lin Yifan finally understood their intentions and responded with a cold snort, "Hmph! Do you think I'd be foolish enough to wear the ring on me?"
"Are you saying the ring isn't on you?"
The bishop's heart sank, and immediately he dared not show disrespect to Lin Yifan.
"Isn't it obvious? If I had it on me and you caught me, what then? Therefore, I had planned everything before sneaking in," Lin Yifan answered smugly.
He was exploiting their strong desire for the Orange Immortal Ring, engaging them in a war of words to see who would back down first.
"What a cunning fellow."
The bishop was filled with disappointment. He thought capturing Lin Yifan would secure the Orange Immortal Ring, but evidently not.
"If I weren't a little cunning, how would I deal with you shameless lot?" Lin Yifan mocked.
"What did you say? Try saying that again if you dare!"
A vampire standing by the bishop was burning with rage. Even a heavily chained dog would still dare to bark wildly here, truly disrespectful.
"I said, you are a bunch of shameless scoundrels! What, was I wrong?" Lin Yifan straightened up and questioned.
After all, he was justified and had enough reasons to retort.
"You..."
This vampire at the True Master Realm clenched his fists, teetering on the edge of fury.
However, just as he was about to strike and kill Lin Yifan with a punch, the bishop stopped him, "Charlie, don't bicker with him."
With the Orange Immortal Ring on Lin Yifan, Lin Yifan was the boss, and they couldn't be disrespectful to him, which was the proper attitude for those in need.
However, it was all just Lin Yifan's words without any convincing evidence; so he needed to verify it with his own eyes.
So he called upon some trusted subordinates to search Lin Yifan, to dig out every external item on Lin Yifan.
Lin Yifan didn't carry much, except for a wallet, and thus, despite the Bloodsucking Sect's efforts, they couldn't find anything valuable.
His Gold Ring had already been removed, because he knew the Bloodsucking Sect members would snatch any ring they saw; if they managed to grab a real treasure amidst counterfeits, it would be a huge loss.
After nearly searching Lin Yifan inside out, the Bloodsucking Sect vampires still couldn't find any valuable treasures.
At this point, the bishop started to believe what Lin Yifan had said earlier.
However, it was still possible that Lin Yifan had swallowed the Immortal Ring to evade them; so he instructed Lin Yifan to follow them to the inspection room for a full-body examination.
Lin Yifan, fearless, calmly followed the Bloodsucking Sect members.
At this point, dispelling their doubts was the only option, so he had no choice.
Taking the elevator to the inspection room, Lin Yifan was pushed into an MRI machine for a full-body scan.
The MRI could practically penetrate every part and corner of the body, and anything solid wouldn't escape its scrutiny; hence, if the Orange Immortal Ring was inside Lin Yifan's body, it would surely be detected.
But after several scans, they couldn't find anything; thus, it was determined that Lin Yifan might have truly hidden the Orange Immortal Ring.
The bishop of the Bloodsucking Sect was not pleased with this outcome, as it meant they would be at the mercy of others.
Lin Yifan tidied his clothes, a smile playing at his lips, and inquired, "Well? Any other inspections you need? I have plenty of time to keep playing with you."
The bishop, washing away his previous severity, responded ingratiatingly, "Hehe! Mr. Lin, don't take offense, I just wanted to see if you were deceiving me, that's all."
"Have you seen enough now? Can you take me to my girlfriend?" Lin Yifan inquired.
He was not displeased because he too sought their help and couldn't afford to rupture their relationship.
"Yes, certainly! Mr. Lin, please follow me!"
The bishop respectfully led Lin Yifan towards the elevator while casually instructing his subordinate, "Tell the Archbishop to wake that Eastern woman, saying that kid is here."
"Yes! Your excellency,"
The subordinate received the order and immediately went aside to call the "8056" floor assistant, instructing the assistant to relay the message to the Archbishop.
The Archbishop holds a slightly higher position than the bishop, and the bishop must obey him; of course, there are even bigger figures above the Archbishop, who are the prominent figures of the Bloodsucking Sect.
Upon receiving the call, the "8056" floor assistant promptly conveyed the bishop's words to the Archbishop.
Upon hearing the news, the Archbishop knew exactly what to do.
