passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had practiced the lightning method, blood element method, and ancient healing method before leaving the central essence chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When I walked out, the familiar staff was standing in front of me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What happened?” I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Did you trash talk against the Blazing Fire Faction people?” the staff asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Blazing Fire Faction,” I uttered in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Last time, I had dealt with the team at the outer hall forest area but not recently, so I shook my head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I have been cooped up inside the central essence chamber for some time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t go anywhere,” I replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff’s eyes flashed with surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“That’s strange,” the staff commented.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt Zack Lockwood’s words were true because he had been here the whole time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had seen Zack Lockwood entering the essence chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There is no possibility for one person to appear in two places at same time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I looked at him in confusion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I felt something had happened, and this guy didn’t know how to explain it to me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Tell me,” I said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff replied, “Someone is spreading rumors about you, that you had boasted that Blazing Fire Faction warriors are trash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those with your strength can’t win against you.” Hearing that, I felt absurd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wait a second!” “I haven’t said anything.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When was this?” I asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I guess a few hours at least since the spread of rumors,” the staff said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Okay, thank you for sharing the news with me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I’m going.” After saying that, I left the spot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The staff sighed before leaving the place as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the image of Ed Conrad came to mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at his reaction earlier, he was clearly pissed off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At that time, I didn’t even respond to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Maybe Ed Conrad had done something.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When this thought arose, I felt it was more credible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that things have come to this, I can only face the challenges ahead.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this time, I have no plan of going on a mission outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially since I feel that I would reach the SSS-ELITE Peak Stage in Essence Cultivation soon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before that, I should better stay inside the Thunderflame Faction Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After gaining clarity in my thoughts, I continued to stride toward my residence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, The Blazing Fire Faction was boiling.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who were below Black Mark Warrior Rank were enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one who spread the rumor was none other than their famous Black Mark Warrior, David Leavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was pissed off by Ed Conrad’s attitude.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His words further enraged him as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, after coming to the Blazing Fire Faction Territory, David called upon the top warriors under Black Mark Warrior Rank and told them about Ed Conrad’s statement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing that, these people were enraged.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They are among the top 10 factions as well, no less than the Thunderflame Faction.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So the news completely shook them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after hearing their warriors wouldn’t be able to defeat the newcomer named Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When David Leavy was addressing them, he found some people discussing the name Zack Lockwood seriously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he asked them directly in front of the group of warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These warriors recounted something that happened not long ago, which was Brody and his team members’ defeat.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David Leavy thought it was skirmishes among the warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But when he learned it was Zack Lockwood who had beaten them gruesomely, he lost his cool.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So you guys were thrashed by him earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Which means Ed Conrad’s words weren’t just arrogant; those were true words,” David said in an angry tone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the faces of those who gathered here turned ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This news had caused them shame earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But people quickly forgot it because Zack Lockwood had never left the Thunderflame Faction Territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that David Leavy revealed the statement, they couldn’t help but recall that earlier incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“We as Black Mark Warriors can’t touch Zack Lockwood.” “The Inner Hall Warriors can’t fight against the Outer Hall Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It’s against the rule.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about you guys?” “Are you guys weak?” David Leavy’s voice sounded louder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone could hear him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a few people among the crowd stepped forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were in SSS-ELITE Rank, Commander Rank, and General Rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing them, David Leavy smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He wanted someone to fight against Zack Lockwood and defeat him so that they could get back their prestige.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one had insulted the Blazing Fire Faction like this before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Good, if any of you defeat that arrogant kid, then I’ll reward you,” David Leavy said to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing about the rewards, everyone’s faces changed drastically.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially those who stepped forward and showed bright smiles on their faces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whereas others felt regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nobody knows the real strength of Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Brody and his team members are avoiding the limelight, so they aren’t getting any credible news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Most of them didn’t want to jump in line first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing a few warriors who agreed to fight against Zack Lockwood, the rest of them showed envy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>David Leavy left after giving some encouraging speech.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It didn’t take much time for Brody and others to learn about this news.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The first thing that came to their minds was that someone had taken advantage and wanted to use the Blazing Fire Faction to their benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From their own confrontation, they came to know that Zack Lockwood was someone who minded his own business.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now the news is coming out like this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They think that Blazing Fire Faction warriors are going to get defeated by Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the real damage to their reputation would occur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“It can’t be stopped.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Let them face the consequences,” Brody told his teammates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors who agreed to the challenge started spreading messages back.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They wanted to let Zack Lockwood know that they were interested in fighting against him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Everyone had witnessed the arena duel between Zack Lockwood and Ronnie Seth before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>These warriors were expecting a similar duel to take place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Ronnie Seth was already famous before Zack Lockwood, so it had attracted a lot of people’s attention.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Here, they were facing difficulties.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one was paying attention to them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>CREATORS’ THOUGHTS Aravind_S Have some idea about my story?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comment it and let me know.\u003C\u002Fp>",1050,"2026-06-05T15:57:12.918Z",1,"novelbin.me","7f9a11ed73bbf93405ea8a8450583867eb7986d096ded045bd3d42ba42a789d4","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1041","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1039",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
