“Thank you, senior, for all the times that you saved me.” Zhuo Fan made a full bow after finding out he was the azure flame person back then.
The man sneered, “Ha-ha-ha, boy, I only saved you that one time from a wolf pack.”
“Since the senior has granted me the azure flame, junior has used it many times to save himself. It is the same as senior lending a hand. I will never forget such a favor.” Zhuo Fan bowed again.
The man stared Zhuo Fan down, though uncaring if he was sincere or not, “It’s fine, I won’t be asking for payment. Why don’t you take it out for me to see it?”
Zhuo Fan froze, unsure what game he was playing.
But with his immense strength, Zhuo Fan would never win, choosing to play along. He put out his finger and an azure glow burst out.
The man looked stunned at the flame, then sighed, “I thought as much. You refined it. Kid, you sure are lucky.”
“What do you mean, senior?” Zhuo Fan probed.
The man sighed, “The azure flame is my innate possession, connected with my mind. When I gave you the azure flame, I could see everything you do.”
Zhuo Fan’s heart tensed and his eyes darted around, [That’s like having constant surveillance!]
The man chuckled at his obvious thoughts, “Kid, you’re too cautious. What use would I have of someone as feeble as you? I was only watching out for you in case of misfortune and to send someone to your rescue. Please don’t twist my good will.”
Zhuo Fan’s heart shuddered at his warning.
The man resumed, “Yet not long after you got it, you refined the azure flame, cutting off my connection. It can only mean two things. You either threw it away, something monumentally difficult for someone like you, or you combined it with your body on the deepest level, which is even more unheard of. It has been a problem that’s been plaguing me for years but now I see you really have done it. Kid, you are quite lucky to have it. I wonder which grand master you are under?”
Zhuo Fan shuddered.
[The guy hails from the Sacred Domain, no question about it, and is at least a Saint. Better err on the side of caution and be brief and short.]
[He knew about the Blood Infant and Patriarch Blood Demon yet still showed no ill-will. So he has no ties with Patriarch Blood Demon. Saying I am his descendant should be a safe bet.]
Zhuo Fan cupped his hands, “Greetings, senior, I come from Sacred Domain, Patriarch Blood Demon’s descendant… “
“Cut the crap!”
The man lashed out, “Patriarch Blood Demon was strong but only a Saint who ever cared about his Blood Infant research. The skills I saw you use nine years ago were too intricate to be from anyone under an Emperor. Speak! Which one of the ancient Emperors is your master?”
Zhuo Fan trembled.
The guy’s eyes were sharp and insidious. Just from that array nine years ago he could tell Zhuo Fan’s master’s level.
[There’s no way a pushover knows about the ten ancient Emperors and Patriarch Blood Demon. And since he lives surrounded by beasts, its king even, maybe…]
Zhuo Fan’s sweat flowed harder.
In front of this guy, he was less than an ant, of no value whatsoever…
The man saw him silent and sneered, “Kid, I’ve roamed the world all my life and seen everything. You may not say it but I can still guess it.”
“Those pills and arrays you used were as marvelous as they were rare, yet you are also masterful in the heinous Blood Infant. The only Emperor in the world who is so knowledgeable and a secret art hoarder is that old freak Nine Serenities.”
Shuddering harder, Zhuo Fan was in a panic.
In just one guess, the man had found out everything, and that too merely from watching him use the arrays.
The guy had to have ample experience that even the Demonic Emperor couldn’t compare to.
