A drop of blood! A blood jade ring!
Two seemingly unrelated events, two unrelated objects, yet they inexplicably and involuntarily connected in Sean’s mind.
Why? They shared a commonality!
That was blood! The blood left by Liane!
One was given to her apprentice!
One was left for her future daughter-in-law!
One had caused her female apprentice’s power to surge, turning the tide of battle with the foundation of the Bright Realm, injuring King Ron, damaging King Ron’s core, forcing King Ron to retreat and cultivate in seclusion within this underground altar, hidden from the world! He could only rely on the abundant blood energy within the altar to sustain his life force! He could only strategize, arrange thousands of plans, and use the King of Night and Eliott Garner to control the world!
One had caused Cecilia’s continuous sleep talking, meeting Liane several times in her dreams, and under Liane’s guidance, discovering the secret prison in the mountain cave! Finding that terrifying female corpse!
Who exactly was Liane? What was her power?
How strong was her bloodline that a single drop of blood could have such a miraculous and massive effect?
King Ron’s words didn’t alleviate Sean’s confusion, but instead aroused more questions in his mind.
So, Sean frowned and asked, “Are you sure, it’s because of that drop of blood?”
“Certain!”
“Absolutely certain!”
King Ron’s tone was incredibly firm, he coldly said, “I suspect that Liane Field’s bloodline is extraordinarily strong, to an inconceivable extent!”
“To the point that without knowing what methods she used, the drop of blood she left behind can temporarily enhance others’ bloodlines and stimulate their potential in times of crisis!”
“However!”
“The side effects are also very evident!”
“That damned woman injured me, protecting another girl to escape from the paradisiacal realm. Her combat power only lasted about half an hour before rapidly weakening and falling into my hands!”
“So!”
“I took her back to the capital, secretly dug that cave, built that secret prison, and tortured her in every way, trying to get Liane Field’s location out of her!”
“To find out the method to enhance the bloodline!”
“However!”
“That damned woman would rather die than submit, endured all the torture and ravages, and kept her mouth shut!”
Hearing this, Sean’s face grew increasingly grim, he asked, “So, you killed her?”
“Her!”
“She had to die!”
King Ron snorted, “Injuring me is one thing, but she dared to damage my core!”
“Do you know?”
“What does it mean for a martial arts practitioner to have a damaged core?”
“Ruined prospects!”
“Even!”
“Life is at risk!”
“If it wasn’t for me being the lord of the Shirine Empire, possessing the entire world, having a treasure like the Cauldron, and this altar left by my ancestors, I wouldn’t have survived until now!”
“I severed her limbs, drained all the fresh blood from her body, used her blood to activate the Soul Devouring Array of this altar, and managed to just barely hang on to life! Clinging to existence! Living till today!”
“So! Between her and me, only one could live, she damaged my core, I took her life to prolong mine, it’s fair! Isn’t it?”
“Haha!”
“Hahahaha…”
Saying this, King Ron began to laugh!
However, it wasn’t a triumphant laugh, but a laugh full of anger and almost twisted with sorrow, he had discovered the secret of the paradisiacal realm, but couldn’t meet Liane Field, couldn’t find the method to enhance the bloodline, but instead caused his core to be damaged, forcing him to hide in the underground altar, relying on the Soul Devouring Array to prolong his life!
This! For King Ron, this was an unacceptable tragedy!
After laughing for a while, King Ron’s emotions gradually stabilized. When he looked at Sean again, his pupils were filled with horrifying blood color. He gritted his teeth and said, “That damned woman has already paid the price for her actions with her life!”
“But! This is not enough!”
“Although her bloodline is strong, it’s not strong enough, it can only let me cling to life by using the Soul Devouring Array, but it can’t repair my core!”
“And you! You are Liane Field’s son, her biological son, you have inherited Liane Field’s super-strong bloodline!”
“So! You can!”
“Only your life and blood can restore my core to its original state or even make it better than before!”
“So! To confirm your bloodline, I had King of Night and Pierce Porter secretly join hands, poison and kill your grandfather, Williams Mason, destroy your family, and then had King of Night secretly send you to the North!”
“At the sametime! To control your bloodline, I had Lilies Archer take action personally. When she activated your bloodline, she planted a poison source in your bloodline!”
“Fact has proven! My guess was correct, Liane Field’s bloodline is incredibly strong. Even in you, a second-generation bloodline holder, it has shown an unimaginable top-tier talent. In just five short years, you have touched the threshold of the Bright Realm!”
Sean understood! He finally understood!!!
King Ron’s core was damaged. To maintain his life, he could only rely on the Soul Devouring Array in this altar. However, the Soul Devouring Array could only be activated by the fresh blood of a Bright Realm cultivator!
He killed Liane’s apprentice!
However! Liane’s apprentice’s bloodline wasn’t strong enough to repair his core!
So! He started eyeing Sean five years ago!
It was him! Who destroyed Sean’s family!
It was him! Who killed Grandfather Williams Mason!
It was him!
It was him!
It was all him!
All the tragedies that happened to Sean were caused by him!!!
No wonder!
No wonder King Ron previously offered to lend the Cauldron to Sean to help him advance early. As it turns out, having Sean eliminate Fergus Archer and Ashby for him was just one of the reasons!
The more important reason was that he couldn’t wait!
He was desperate to use Sean’s bloodline and life to repair his damaged core!
“King of Night?”
Sean looked at the King of Night, who stood beside him like a ghost, his brows slightly furrowed!
Sean remembered clearly! Previously in the cave, when interrogating Pierce Porter, Pierce Porter admitted that the reason he targeted Grandfather Williams Mason was that Mason inadvertently discovered his and Roscoe’s conspiracy! Because of Roscoe’s status and power, Williams Mason had to die!
And now! King Ron said, it was King of Night and Pierce Porter who conspired together and killed Grandfather Williams Mason!
“His Majesty is correct!”
“It was me!”
King of Night naturally understood Sean’s confusion, so he said, “The person who was secretly talking with Pierce Porter at that time was me, not Roscoe!”
“I was present!”
“So! Pierce Porter didn’t dare to accuse me to my face, and could only push it onto Roscoe!”
Hearing this, Sean’s pupils shrunk fiercely!
Damn! So that’s how it was!!!
