anwhile in a far away place…
A young man in ragged clothes carefully walked down an empty street, constantly looking around.
When he was about to walk by an abandoned house, he stealthily took a disk shaped artifact, took a look at it and relaxed.
Suddenly, he took a step to the side, toward the abandoned house.
Woop!
The air rippled in front of him and he disappeared, leaving no trace behind of his presence.
"You are here again…" Right then, an aged voice sounded out in his head.
The young man raised his head and saw a blind, white haired old man, sitting in an old reclining chair.
He smiled and jogged over to him, and knelt down on his side, "Hello, old man. How are you?"
"I'm fine, kid. Tell , why have you co here this ti? Soone was chasing you down again?" The old man asked, gently ruffling his hair.
The young man nad Alex beca awkward when he heard this and said sowhat defensively, "What do you an, old man? I just ca here to check up on you, to see if you were still alive."
"Haha. I still have many years to live, kid. Still, thanks for worrying about ." The old man gave a good natured laugh.
Alex's face fell when he heard this and he said through gritted teeth, "Damn old man! Do you really have to make feel guilty every ti?"
The old man just smiled, causing Alex to sigh, "Alright. I ca here because I needed your help."
The old man stayed silent.
Seeing this, Alex continued in a hushed voice, "I got wind of a fantastic piece of news. It seems soone of the Domain Emperor's lineage has awakened the Imperial Bloodline."
The old man's hand paused for a brief mont before he continued caressing Alex's hair.
"However, what is surprising is that he isn't from the main or any of the branch family. People from the Domain Emperor Family have tried to locate him with the bloodline beckoning compass but with no success."
Alex, suppressing his excitent, said, "The Domain Emperor Family tried to keep this news under wraps but it ca out and when it did, their enemy, the Silverthorn family, has issued a bounty."
"Whoever brings them the head of this person with Imperial bloodline, they will reward him ten million High Grade Mana Stones, one suitable Tier Nine cultivation technique, and a chance to cultivate in front of their Law Comprehension Stele."
After he finished speaking, the old man remained silent for a while before he sighed and removed his hand from Alex's head and asked, "So, you want to divine his location?"
Alex hesitantly nodded, "If you did that, it would be a trendous help to . If I can find this guy and kill him, I'll be able to break through into the King Mage realm with a sturdy foundation."
The blind old man turned his head in his direction and looked at him, which sent shivers down Alex's spine.
"You are willing to beco the Domain Emperor Family for just so minor gains?" He asked, his voice calm.
Alex felt uneasy because he had rarely seen the old man act so strangely. Normally, he would just make so jokes and help him, but now he was asking him questions?
Alex, although a big risk taker and a bit greedy, wasn't stupid. Even though he couldn't sense the old man's cultivation level and the old man had himself told him he was nothing but a small-ti diviner–a profession that had almost vanished from the world in its long history–he was definitely a very wise, worldly man, even if he wasn't an expert.
So, if he was asking this seriously, he couldn't take it lightly like he usually would. So, he gave it a deep thought and eventually nodded.
"Yes. I'm willing to. If I don't take this risk, I won't be able to break through with a good foundation, and my future would be limited. So, for my future and…"
Alex took a deep breath, "Anyway, If I have to beco their enemy, so be it."
The old man was silent for so ti before he shook his head, "Alex boy, I have always liked your fearlessness and boldness, but I have to say, your decision is very… stupid."
"You don't know what the consequences of making an enemy of a family with a long history and deep foundation like the Domain Emperor family are."
"So, I advise you to think again."
Alex shook his head, "There is no need to think again. I want to do it."
"Very well. Give a mont." The old man sighed and closed his eyes.
Zoom!
A strange sensation swept past Alex, making him feel insignificant. But he was used to this as he would always feel the sa whenever he asked the old man to divine sothing for him.
As he watched him with anticipation, the old man's brows furrowed together before he opened his eyes.
"Old man, don't tell you couldn't divine it?" Alex asked, nervous.
The old man didn't respond for a while. When he did, he said, "Rember, the situation is ever changing. But no matter what happens, make sure to always follow your heart even if it seems detrintal to you."
Saying this, he waved his hand and Alex found himself on the street, out the abandoned house.
He was stunned for a mont before he shouted, "Damn it, old man. You didn't tell his location."
Just then, the old man's voice sounded in his head, [Forsaken Land.]
"Forsaken land?" Alex murmured before his brows knit together, "Fuck! What's a mber of the Domain Emperor family doing there?"
"Forget it. I have to find a way to go there."
Swoosh!
With that, he left the street.
anwhile, inside the pocket space, the blind old man murmured, "I can only help you this much, Kid. Now, you are on your own."
Swoosh!
As soon he finished speaking, he vanished along with his decrepit, reclining chair. A mont later, the pocket space shook and… it was no more.
The next ti Alex ca, he would find nothing but the abandoned house.
