The advanced medicinal liquid was working as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two types of energy flowed through my body, making the healing process more efficient. I focused on the blade wound on my chest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man from earlier had almost cleaved my body in two; fortunately, the internal organs were not that damaged. They are healing now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, I checked my foundation. The foundation had not been damaged in the battle. Seeing that, I sighed in relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I had been forced to use my bloodline power to kill the enemy. Furthermore, it was a sneak attack; if I hadn’t done that, the old man would have escaped. I did well by eliminating him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I didn’t know what had happened to the others. I sensed Faction Leader Francesca earlier. She might have seen the text message as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what about Faction Leader Clifford and the main elders? After pushing those thoughts aside, I fell asleep.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the Room,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Faction Leader Clifford, Main Elder Austin, Ann, and other elders arrived a few minutes later.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When they saw the Purple Mark Guard and Faction Leader Francesca, they were all surprised. Immediately upon seeing the Purple Mark Guard, old man Clifford confronted him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Elder, where is Dean Jerome? We have been trying to contact him,\" Clifford asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard knew where Dean Jerome might be, but he did not want to tell the others without permission. \"It’s confidential. I can’t tell you,\" he replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing that, the old man was taken aback. He didn’t expect to hear such an answer, but it was not the right time for them to fight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Where is Zack?\" Clifford asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He was given treatment. He is resting inside now,\" Francesca said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing this, Clifford, Austin, Ann, and the others walked into the room. Main Elder Leola, Cathy, and Rosie were there as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They saw Zack Lockwood resting on the bed. Clifford and the others spotted the massive blade wound on Zack’s body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gasp!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A small exclamation escaped them. Cathy, Rose, and Leola stared at the wound. Their expressions changed drastically; they were shocked that Zack Lockwood was still alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Austin and Ann saw the wound as well. Austin’s eyes filled with killing intent, his heart boiling with anger. Ann felt the same, she couldn’t imagine who had caused such a severe injury.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Old man Clifford’s heart was stirred. From the nature of the blade wound, he understood that the attacker must have been a Purple Mark Warrior.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had never seen a Silver Mark Warrior escape the attacks of a Purple Mark Warrior before. Even for a Gold Mark Warrior, the chances would be slim.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zack Lockwood was only a Silver Mark Warrior. Clifford was curious how he had survived. He then glanced at the door, thinking that the others must have rescued Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That would explain things; otherwise, it was impossible for Zack to survive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unfortunately, the old man didn’t know that Zack Lockwood had actually killed the Purple Mark Warrior himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had known the truth, old man Clifford would have been shocked to his core.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not only him, but Austin and the other main elders thought the same. They believed that the Purple Mark Guard or Faction Leader Francesca had rescued Zack.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, let’s go. He needs rest,\" old man Clifford said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The others nodded and exited the room. Once outside, Clifford confronted the Purple Mark Guard again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Who attacked the kid? What happened to him?\" he asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"He is dead,\" the Purple Mark Guard replied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He chose not to mention that Zack Lockwood had killed the person. He decided to conceal the news because it was far too shocking to hear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Francesca, hearing this for the first time, assumed the Purple Mark Guard had killed the enemy. The others thought the same before leaving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard assured them that he would remain there to protect Zack. Francesca decided to return to the Bloodline Hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A Few Minutes Later\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mark Guard was left alone, pondering deeply. He recalled the event: he had been attacked by ten Purple Mark level assassins, while Zack Lockwood was attacked by a Purple Mark level warrior as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It showed that their whereabouts had been leaked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t know who had leaked the news. It was possible the enemies were monitoring the known teleportation platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, there were many hidden teleportation platforms; it would be impossible for the enemies to know about them unless someone leaked the information.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In either case, the involvement of a spy was likely. This was why he concealed the information from the others; he wanted to discuss it with Dean Jerome first.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Meanwhile, Dean Jerome was inspecting the secret lands of the Star University Territory one by one. That was why he didn’t know what was happening outside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ever since he received orders from the higher-ups, he had decided to focus on Zack Lockwood’s training.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He believed that the higher-ups had acknowledged Zack’s strength. He was right to invest in such a talent. He also knew the dangers posed by the foreign creatures.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If Zack Lockwood became a Gold Mark Warrior, he would finally have the strength to protect himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since no Red Mark level foreign creatures had entered their territory so far, Zack would be safe once he reached the Gold Mark rank.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Foreign Creature Planet\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As time passed, news of Battlefield 4 spread across the foreign creature leadership. They learned that a human race warrior had fought to a draw with an elite race member.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The news was too shocking for everyone. All the powerful figures learned about Zack Lockwood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They discovered that Zack Lockwood’s name was on the kill list, yet they had failed to kill the target many times.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, the target has grown stronger. He was able to challenge an elite race member. The elite race members were furious; it was a massive loss of face for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they didn’t act soon, the target would grow even further and might kill an elite race member next time.\u003C\u002Fp>",1072,"2026-06-05T15:57:28.698Z",1,"novelbin.me","f917d7f877ca035d7f9d293f035ccebc1327c8c7cefa06e5380b325f719b19f5","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1415","ancient-tears-bloodline-chapter-1414",1498,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fancient-tears-bloodline-cover.jpg"]
