Chapter 45 - Patriarch
Chapter 45 - Patriarch
No matter what the old man Zerg said to the sect leader Gamos, it was useless as the sect leader Gamos knows the consequences of doing that.
'First, in the futures, the inner demons from this incident will make me unable to break through to the higher realms,' ??
'Second, even if I took that bloodline from my disciple without any regard to the inner demons, I will definitely die in the hands of that lady. So, it's not worth risking it,'
The sect leader Gamos once again remembered the consequences of killing his disciple and taking the 'Ancient fire demon bloodline'.
"I will say one thing, it's not worth taking the bloodline,"
However, he didn't say anything about Henrick or his family and just said a single line in a very serious tone.
"Huh?"
Zerg raised his brows as he looked at the sect leader Gamos for a moment before nodding his head.
He seldom saw his nephew this serious and didn't say anything; instead, he simply nodded his head.
"So, will you help me or not?"
After a moment of silence, the sect leader Gamos finally asked his uncle one more time.
"Sure...give me two days and I will find a way to temporarily seal the bloodline," The old man didn't even hesitate for a single moment before giving his reply which made the sect leader Gamos nod his head.
"I hope you know the seriousness of this matter and don't divulge it to anyone...even to the family head," The sect leader Gamos said in a low voice while looking into the deep eyes of the old man.
"Yes. I will not divulge about bloodline to anyone," Zerg nodded his head while revealing a slight smile on his face.
"Okay then. I will take my leave now,"
The sect leader Gamos finally bid his goodbye to Zerg before leaving the old library.
"A small doubt,"
Before the old man Zerg, could ask his doubt, the sect leader Gamos had disappeared from the library which made Zerg shake his head.
"Sigh...When will he learn to be patient and hear my words completely," Zerg bitterly sighed at the sect leader Gamos and went back into the old library.
...…
In the sect leader Gamos' cultivation abode,
"With his help, I, now have more chances at temporarily sealing the bloodline,"
After returning to his cultivation abode, the sect leader Gamos took out the old tattered book from his robes and muttered to himself.
'After that sneak attack on me, aside from my uncle Zerg, I can't trust anyone. So, with his knowledge on the bloodlines, I hope he will find something to seal the bloodline,'
Looking at the book cover, the sect leader Gamos silently thought to himself.
Even though for some reason, he doesn't like his uncle Zerg, he was the only one the sect leader Zerg could trust in the entire outer sect of the Blazing inferno sect.
With that thought in his mind, the sect leader Gamos started searching for the solution in that book.
....
Time continued to pass and soon two moons replaced the two suns in the sky.
In Henrick's cultivation abode,
'Aargh'
Amidst his cultivation, Henrick groaned in pain all of a sudden and stopped circulating the 'Blazing sun sutra'.
"What is happening in my body,"
After stopping the rotation of the cultivation technique, Henrick looked inside his body and found that all his veins had a slightly black layer which looked like they were burnt due to continuously transferring the fire elements through them.
"Looks like I need to stop for today,"
Although he was still learning about cultivation, Henrick could guess that he should not overdo some things and stood up from the stone bed.
'Eek eek'
In the distance, he heard the shouts from the baby fire monkey, which was playing in the hot water.
'I guess a hot bath will do for now,'
Soon, he went to the small pool in the corner of the cultivation abode.
...…
In a dark room of some unknown place,
"Finally, he awakened his bloodline,"
A middle-aged woman opened her eyes from her meditation and muttered in a low voice.
She looked very beautiful with long black hair and had a face that could attract anyone towards her.
After saying that she closed her eyes once again for a moment before opening them again, "Not bad, not bad. You managed to get a strong helper. Looks like I can go for another round of cultivation,"
With a slight smile on her face, she praised someone before looking at the pendant on her neck.
The pendant, which was in a heart shape, gave mysterious vibes from it.
When she muttered something, the pendant opened and revealed a small photo in it. In the photo, there was a couple along with a small boy, who had a huge smile on his face.
"Sorry son, you had to survive on your own,"
Looking at her son in the photo, the middle-aged woman bitterly sighed.
She continued to look at the photo for a while before closing it and entered into the cultivation.
....
In another unknown place,
"Someone come here quickly," An old man opened his eyes from his deep cultivation and called for someone.
"Patriarch, I am here,"
As soon as the old man called for someone, a red-masked figure appeared in front of him and politely bowed to him.
"Someone awakened our bloodline. He must be the 'His' son. No matter what you do or how many you have to kill, I want him here," The old man with wrinkles all over his face, ordered the masked figure in front of him and continued, "Remember, I don't want a single scratch to appear on him. Do you understand?"
When he finished his later set of words, a serious look appeared on his face that made the masked figure in front of him shiver.
"Yes, Patriarch. I will find him and bring him here at any cost," The masked figure replied to the old man and disappeared from that place.
As soon as the masked figure disappeared, the old man went back to his seclusion and peacefully cultivated.
