Within three days everything had settled down. All the rumors about the Fiery Eyes did not come to light, but on the fourth day after Zhou Bao had killed the Fairy Pool Hunter, the Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven came, unannounced, to Wuyang Region. Sporting an agitated expression, he had an in-depth discussion with Zhou Bao, but they ended up leaving on bad terms.
Things had turned sour, and there was nothing more to be discussed.
Because of Zhou Bao's strength, the Bloody-robed Lord of Heaven made a concession, and promised that he would never reveal Zhou Bao's Fiery Eyes bloodline to anyone. But he also proposed that he would like to choose from one of Zhou Bao's clansmen, and teach them to restart the bloodline and continue his legacy. Zhou Bao had no objection to that; he only stipulated a condition that this clansman would not practice the Way of the Emperor.
