The old man coughed up blood. He was already in terror. Now he thought the chances of escaping were low.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Get back to the hotel,\" the Purple Mark Guard shouted at Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, I wiped the blood from my face and nodded to him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Swoosh!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The next second, I used the Lightning Phantom Movements. A dark purple lightning bolt moved towards the main road in a flash.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After coming to the main road, I found there was a lot of movement from the people, so I stopped using the technique and started running on foot.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The use of the flight ability would attract the public eye. If I used a cab service, the chances of getting attacked were higher.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had already come across two Purple Mark Warriors. If there were more, I wouldn’t be surprised. My perception was active.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not long after, I found a few auras following me from behind. But they were far away, and their auras were not that threatening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, I continued moving towards the hotel. It didn’t take long for me to reach it. I saw the same size crowd in front of the gate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I was wearing a mask. I hurriedly walked through the gate, pushing people aside. The people were Black and Silver Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After pushing them aside, I arrived at the front gate. The guards recognized me and opened the gate for me.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I entered and walked up to the hotel door.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, he is the masked man who appeared earlier.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who is he?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We don’t know the identity of the masked man.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people outside started to discuss. Especially the people who were pushed aside; they were annoyed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, could he be Zack Lockwood?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It’s not possible. The masked man is a Silver Mark Warrior.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The warriors voiced their opinions. Among the people present, there were a few warriors sent by the ten warrior families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The other few warriors had already been killed by Zack earlier. The news was yet to reach their families.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The people who followed Zack Lockwood earlier arrived in front of the gate. They suspected that the masked man was Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon coming here, they heard similar conversations. The family warriors looked at each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the hotel was jointly run by the ten warrior families, they couldn’t go inside to cause trouble for Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because it would be all over social media. Then Star University would provide assistance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, they had no choice other than to wait there and report to their higher-ups.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the higher-ups of the different families heard the news, they told them not to go inside the hotel.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After hearing the orders, they continued to wait outside. Even the elders of the Lark Family told the warriors not to attack Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the hotel room, I locked the door and went to the living area. Then I sat cross-legged on the floor. I started to run the incomplete ancient healing method.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The coercion from the Purple Mark Warrior earlier had hurt my internal organs.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, the healing energy healed the internal injuries. Even the superficial injuries on my outer body were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t get up but continued with the practice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the other other hand, the Purple Mark Guard handed over the captured Purple Mark Warriors to the prison elders.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They took the prisoners on the aircraft back to Star University. Before leaving, the Purple Mark Guard checked for survivors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He found out that Zack Lockwood had killed all ten warriors earlier, including the Silver and Gold Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen a single Silver Mark Warrior hold this record. He doubted whether anyone else from the other top 10 factions could do it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then went back to the top of the hotel and started making reports. Their trip to Dry Summit City was fruitful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only had they uncovered the illegal fighting arena and captured criminals, but they also managed to lure out many warriors, including two Purple Mark Warriors.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were going to rot in prison cells now. After making the report, he sent it to Dean Jerome.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Klein Family had suffered a loss this time. The Purple Mark Warrior sent by them was nowhere to be seen, as if he had disappeared all of a sudden.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their target, Zack Lockwood, was still living in the hotel. No one was targeting him. The illegal activities of the families were exposed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were afraid that Star University might take action against them. Even their ally, the Lark Family, was not involving their men directly to deal with Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had pissed off the Klein Family big time. They had helped many warrior families in their times of crisis, yet no other warrior families were turning towards them right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Klein Family Head was getting offers from Dark Shadow University and Giant Tower University. These two forces were enemies of Star University.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he decided to cooperate with them, it would be doom for his family. If Dean Jerome learned about it, the Klein Family would be wiped out first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Klein Family Head was not stupid enough to accept offers from an enemy university.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They could only wait for the next opportunity. Maybe if Zack Lockwood caused problems for the interests of these families, then they wouldn’t hesitate to attack him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The following day,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I opened my eyes. My eyes flashed with a sharp glint. The pain all over my body was gone. I looked at my skin; even the superficial skin injuries were gone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then I stood up and went to bathe. The bath lasted for 20 minutes. I walked out and changed into comfortable clothes. I went to bed to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, the Purple Mark Guard didn’t pry into Zack Lockwood’s room. He knew about Zack Lockwood’s healing technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought Zack Lockwood was okay. Now he was waiting for Dean Jerome’s order. If Dean Jerome gave them the order, then they could go to the next city.\u003C\u002Fp>",1022,"2026-06-05T15:57:19.919Z",1,"novelbin.me","019fb6ce7044cd164000820216280fde83ed6e94e122cd3f11394d97341ab6de","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1376","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1374",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
