I spent an hour completing it before my attention shifted to the new purple lightning method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had already achieved breakthroughs in Shock Force Integration, Sealing Force, and bloodline power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, I had a feeling that the new purple lightning method was special, especially since it was derived from the Thunder One Force Inheritance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It only contained Chapters up to the Red Mark Level.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>My previous lightning scripture was not ordinary either. I believed the current lightning scripture must have further Chapters as well, so I decided to pay close attention to this matter.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>About 20 minutes later, I left my residence and headed straight toward the Golden Lightning Palace. Upon arriving at the palace, I went to the essence chamber facility.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I entered one of the essence chambers, and the door closed automatically behind me. I activated the switch and walked to the center of the chamber.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>World energy began to pour into the chamber. In the blink of an eye, the energy filled the room.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I sat cross-legged on the ground, closed my eyes, and began to practice the new purple lightning method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The new dark purple lightning bolt rune started to flicker. As time passed, the purple lightning force from the surrounding world energy entered my body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I guided the purple lightning force according to the new circulation route. Once circulated, the new force entered my dantian and settled onto the purple lightning seed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The purple lightning seed was different than before; it now possessed a golden pattern. This was due to the treasure I had consumed back in the secret land.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The seed absorbed the new lightning force. Seeing this, I continued the process. As the new purple lightning force gathered around the seed, the seed began to make the force even stronger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star City\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star City appeared calm, but undercurrents were surging beneath the surface, stronger than ever before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warrior families were in conflict. They were unable to connect with several of their family members.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some families didn’t even know that these missing members were spies working for other forces.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Eventually, the families realized their kin were missing. They had vanished directly from the city. It wasn’t just Black Mark and Silver Mark Warriors; even Gold Mark Warriors were missing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This discovery sent shockwaves through the families. They immediately informed the authorities, hoping the higher-ups from Star University would intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, some families stayed silent because they knew the missing members were spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Star University were to learn of their activities, the entire family would suffer. Consequently, a few of the families didn’t even report the disappearances to the higher-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Forces outside Star University quickly learned that their assets had been compromised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their Purple Mark Warriors had been captured. These warriors were long-term investments, yet they had been taken, and their whereabouts were unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their long-term plans were destroyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The force most affected was none other than Dark Shadow University. They were reeling from the recent news, believing that Star University was behind the disappearances.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Similarly, Giant Tower University saw their assets captured as well, their whereabouts equally unknown.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Giant Tower University leadership was unable to contact their spies, which sent chills through the higher-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They tried to contact other assets embedded within Star University families, but they were unable to connect with them either. This sent an ominous signal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moments later, representatives from Dark Shadow University contacted them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the higher-ups answered the call, they learned that Dark Shadow University’s assets had been compromised as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Both forces understood that Star University had captured and wiped out their spies. It was a massive loss for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star University’s actions angered both forces. They decided to hunt down Star University spies living within their own territories and capture them in retaliation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>..\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Star University\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean’s Office:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome was going through the reports. He was satisfied with yesterday’s operation; almost all of the spies had been captured and imprisoned in their cells.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Zack Lockwood could now freely roam the city, as there were no Purple Mark enemies left within the walls.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, Dean Jerome paused. His eyes flickered. He still didn’t know how many others were hidden in his territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had cleared out the city, but he was uncertain about the areas outside the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once again, his eyes flashed as a plan formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was sure there was little chance of Purple Mark Warriors appearing immediately outside the city, but there might still be Gold Mark and Silver Mark level spies.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After some thought, he decided to extend the operation. He would use Zack Lockwood again. He would send Zack to all the important cities to retrieve reports and collect intelligence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already ordered the Purple Mark Guard to be Zack’s guardian. With the help of the two of them, he could clear the Star University territory.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He summoned the Purple Mark Guard. When the guard appeared, Jerome told him about the plan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard was stunned, realizing Dean Jerome was doing this for a long-term goal, but he agreed to the order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Bring Zack Lockwood here,\" Jerome said. \"It’s time for the kid to face some danger. We can’t protect him day and night. He needs to face some challenges himself.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard agreed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He disappeared from the spot. He arrived at the Thunderflame Faction, appearing above Zack Lockwood’s residence in the blink of an eye.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He scanned the residence with his mental power and found that Zack was not there. He realized Zack must be at the Golden Lightning Palace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Purple Mark Guard’s eyes flickered. He doens’t want the Faction Leader Clifford to be alerted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dean Jerome had some plan in his mind. So he decided to wait for Zack Lockwood to come. He then hide his presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one can find him. Unless, the Faction Leader Clifford used his mental power to scan the Thunderflame Faction. Then he would be exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>",1010,"2026-06-05T15:57:19.580Z",1,"novelbin.me","e661f7a24a51c60c9c8d8520716c6ae5e292efacfc23f181c76b6ada08f07219","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1349","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1347",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
