Chapter 1994: Chapter 1991: Enslaved and Subservient! (Part 4)
Outside the Nine Dragons Tower.
The Supreme Elder’s eyes were closed, but he grew increasingly uneasy. That kid had already ventured into the fifth level, why hadn’t he come out yet?
The fourth level was guarded by the intention of the Hall Master, so it wasn’t surprising that someone could pass through it. But the fifth level was guarded by the terrifying Devil Dragon; could it be that the Devil Dragon had already devoured him?
If so, he would have a hard time explaining it to the Hall Master, who had instructed him to protect that kid at all costs.
As the Supreme Elder pondered, he seemed to sense something and opened his eyes!
He was shocked to find that the fifth level was lit up!
At this moment, even though the Supreme Elder had witnessed countless events, he was left flustered!
He subconsciously took a step back, extended his hand, and tremblingly pointed at the Nine Dragons Tower, saying, "How is this possible... that kid actually passed the fifth level?"
Even an entity as powerful as the Hall Master couldn’t break through the fifth level, and yet that human kid had passed it?
The Devil Dragon was incredibly domineering, and ordinary strong individuals couldn’t contend with it!
Not to mention that kid!
Beside him, Elder Ren was also somewhat surprised, but having long seen Ren Feifan’s extraordinary abilities, it seemed normal to him that Ren Feifan managed to break through the fifth level.
He looked at the Supreme Elder and laughed, "Elder, didn’t I tell you he would..."
The Supreme Elder’s eyes still carried the shock, as he fixed his gaze firmly on the sixth level, lost in thought.
That kid wouldn’t go to the sixth level, would he?
The sixth level harbored an extremely terrifying existence!
A single misstep could mean death.
...
Meanwhile, Ren Feifan stepped onto the staircase leading to the sixth level.
This staircase posed no challenge, so Ren Feifan soon reached the sixth level.
The entire level was empty, except for a Taishi Chair.
On the Taishi Chair sat an old man with his back to Ren Feifan, his hair grey and his aura full of mystery.
Ren Feifan stood at the entrance of the sixth level, motionless.
That old man represented the unknown. Even with many aces in his hand, he needed to be cautious.
"You seem to be afraid of me?" An aged voice echoed, the old man still did not turn around.
Ren Feifan took a step forward and gently drew the Ancient Dust Sword, placing it before him. If the man made a move, he would surely strike with the sword!
"You are wary of me too. If I wanted to kill you, you’d already be a corpse." the old man said leisurely.
Ren Feifan was truly frustrated by the elder and asked, "Who exactly are you? How do you know my name?"
The old man stood up from the Taishi Chair, still facing away, his hands placed behind him.
"I not only know you’re called Ren Feifan, but I also know you’re from the mortal world, that your mother is trapped by the Demon-Sealing Tower in the Wang Palace, and I know the secret within your body."
His voice was like an ancient bell, slowly resonating.
Upon hearing this, Ren Feifan’s face changed dramatically!
Knowing his name and that he hailed from the mortal world was no surprise!
But it was uncanny that the person knew about his mother being trapped by the Demon-Sealing Tower.
That was a secret only close family members should know!
What terrified him the most was the claim of knowing the secret within his body!
Did it refer to the Mysterious Space?
This was Ren Feifan’s greatest trump card. If this secret were exposed, any powerful being would covet it!
Anyone!
Ren Feifan forced himself to calm down, "What exactly do you want to say?"
The old man chuckled and continued, "I’m curious, how do you cultivate two different techniques simultaneously? It’s been tens of thousands of years, and never has a human been able to cultivate two techniques at the same time. Oh, I spoke incorrectly; if you are considered a Body Refiner, you could cultivate three."
"It’s really quite incredible, and I’m somewhat interested in you."
Hearing this, Ren Feifan breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, the secret revealed wasn’t the Mysterious Space, but the techniques he cultivated.
"You seem to be relaxing; did I say something wrong?"
Suddenly, the old man turned around, and Ren Feifan finally saw his appearance.
Clad in simple clothing, his face was full of wrinkles. He appeared very old and his beard was very long.
He looked somewhat like a master, yet Ren Feifan had never seen this master before.
The old man walked toward Ren Feifan, carefully examining him from head to toe. Stroking his beard, he sighed, "Indeed, a person equal to heaven."
Ren Feifan was perplexed, what did it mean to be equal to heaven?
He rolled his eyes at the old man and said, "Hey, you’re not young either, can’t you explain things clearly once? Staring at me like this, it makes me feel like you’re gay."
"Gay? What is ’gay’?" The old man was puzzled.
"Nothing," Ren Feifan lost his patience, "Why did you summon me up here? If it’s just to say this, then I’m leaving."
The old man chuckled, "Then I shall introduce myself, people of the Dragon Clan call me the Dragon Lord. As for how I know your information, a friend of mine told me. He asked me to keep you."
"Keep me? And who is your friend?" Ren Feifan felt rather irritated.
The Dragon Lord cast a meaningful glance at Ren Feifan and continued, "Do you remember the Ancient Divine Dragon trapped in the Locking-God Array?"
Ren Feifan paused, surprised, "Wasn’t she trapped under the mortal world’s Heavenly Pool, so how could she speak to you? Besides, the Punishing Gods Alliance probably took her away long ago, she’s barely surviving herself. How could she inform the Dragon Clan?"
The Dragon Lord chuckled, offering no further explanation.
Suddenly, Ren Feifan was shocked to notice a strange light flashing in the Dragon Lord’s eyes.
Those black pupils transformed into a golden, mysterious mark!
"Because I possess the Twin Life Pupils. Whatever she sees, I can also see."
As soon as those words landed, Ren Feifan immediately felt a powerful force tugging at him.
It was as if there was a force in the elder’s gaze, trying to forcibly extract his memories and soul.
Ren Feifan quickly turned his head to avoid eye contact.
His back was damp with sweat.
The Dragon Lord was slightly surprised, calmly saying, "You actually managed to evade it. It seems I have indeed underestimated you."
Ren Feifan maintained a trace of vigilance, even instinctively taking a few steps back, tightly gripping the Ancient Dust Sword in his hand, "Who exactly are you?"
The elder’s tone changed slightly, turning somewhat cold, "I told you, I am the Dragon Lord. I only need your blood sacrifice; once offered, you will understand!"
Ren Feifan’s expression changed drastically!
A blood sacrifice?
Did this mean to enslave him?
No way!
Ren Feifan snorted coldly, "You dream of getting my blood!"
The old man chuckled, spinning the Taishi Chair to sit facing Ren Feifan.
And then he said, "Originally, if you hadn’t stepped onto this level, I couldn’t have troubled you. But since you’ve come here, you’ve entered my domain. Do you think you still have the power to choose? I wasn’t lying earlier; I indeed can see everything through the Ancient Divine Dragon. She sent a message asking me to keep you and bestow upon you an opportunity."
"However, after you broke through the fifth level, I changed my mind. I want you as my slave!"
