Blue Wave Tower, Water Raising Palace
Two men stood within the upper chambers of the tower, conversing.
One man stood with his back facing the other, his figure was hidden in the darkness.
The other man was on his knees and did not dare look up to face the man before him.
If Lu Zheng was here, he would recognise the kneeling man as Keanu from the Sea Fish Cult.
"Olean, Mano and Finn are dead?" The man's tone was cold.
"Y-Yes my Lord" Keanu replied, sweat beads forming on his head from the other man's aura.
"Hmm. Who is it that dares to kill my subordinates?" The man asked.
"It's a group of three my Lord. I believe one of them is named Lu Zheng. They are probably tourists from Asia" Keanu responded.
"The Asian Union…" The man drew his words. "What is the cultivation base of this Lu Zheng?"
"Second tier of Domain Formation realm" Keanu's voice was low.
"What!?" The man turned to face Keanu for the first time but in the darkness, only his azure pupils shone.
"How come you four lost to a martial warrior at the second tier of Domain Formation realm?" The man asked before calming his anger. "Did he have external help?"
"N-No sir, but he… he seems to have high fire path attainment" Keanu replied.
"What makes you think so?" The man asked.
"Because… because Olean, Mano and Finn were unable to defend against his flames. Even Olean's Dark Sea Rod was destroyed by his flames" Keanu said.
"Hmm" The man walked out of the darkness revealing his true form.
He was incredibly handsome. The man had fair skin with short dark hair, his azure pupils accentuated his facial beauty. If one walked close to him, they would be able to hear the faint sound of crashing waves from his body.
His attainment in water path was definitely not to be overlooked.
"Lord Nakao" Keanu looked up for the first time and saw his master's true look.
A complicated feeling rose from within his heart. Although he knew that his mater was from Water Raising Palace, he never knew that it was an extremely powerful person.
Nakao Bellx was the second son of Alleyne Bellx, the present Head Chief of Water Raising Palace.
Ignoring his father's abilities, Nakao himself was at the second tier of Void Passage realm.
That was a strength that would only be revered wherever he went.
"You can go now" Nakao said. "I'll deal with this Lu Zheng myself. You continue your work diligently and maybe I'll reward you nicely"
"Thank you my Lord" Keanu kowtowed before leaving swiftly.
Nakao turned to face the other man that sat a short distance away from him. Even though the man had been there before Keanu entered, the latter did not even sense his presence.
He felt ethereal.
"Your force seems to be falling apart son" Alleyne said.
"Hmm. It's only a temporary matter, besides, I do not have much attachments with the Sea Fish Cult. It is something I created on a whim" Nakao smiled.
"Then what do you plan now" Alleyne asked, intrigued by his son's nonchalance.
"I'll look into the matter myself. Whim or no whim, nobody walks over me and gets away with it" A scary light flashed past Nakao's azure pupils as the edges of his lips bent into a cruel smile.
…..
The sudden appearance of a third part stunned Hong Haoyu. He didn't even sense her coming.
"We're waiting for our friend" Hong Haoyu controlled his shock and replied.
"Friend? Where is he?" The female asked.
"There" Themur gestured into the volcano.
The female had a disbelieving face as she sent her Sea of Consciousness into the volcano's belly.
Soon, her disbelieving face morphed into that of pure shock.
"What's a Domain Formation realm martial practitioner doing inside this dense Earth Flame?" The woman asked rhetorically.
"Impossible, only father can bathe in this volcano and he's at the Original realm!"
