"Now that you’re catching on, you’re not too dumb after all," Lin Tian said with a faint smile.
"Hmph, even if you lured here, so what? Kill ?" The masked man snorted coldly, seeming fearless.
Lin Tian waved his finger and said, "Why would I kill you? I’m rely inviting you, this mysterious mber of the Blood Clan, to show up and clarify so events from back then."
"Events from back then?" The masked man seed puzzled for a mont, then turned to Charlotte and said, "You want to know why I saved you back then?"
Charlotte said coldly, "You saved , and I should be grateful, but why did you tamper with my mories? Don’t tell my amnesia was just an accident—Blood Worm Secret Technique wouldn’t accidentally appear on ."
"You’re right, it was all intentional on my part, deliberately making you lose your mory. So, are you going to treat your savior with this kind of attitude?" The masked man admitted bluntly, but then tried to scold Charlotte for not being grateful.
"I just want to know why you altered my mory," Charlotte said seriously.
"Your family suffered catastrophe back then, that great fire was like Purgatory on earth. Over two hundred people were burned alive, whether old, won, or children—all were burnt to cinders beyond recognition. Such a tragic scene, such painful mories, were only torture for you. I erased your mory for your own good," the masked man said in a low voice.
Charlotte and Rossi, upon hearing his account, seed to recall that hellish scene again, their fists clenching tightly, eyes filled with unspeakable pain.
"A person who doesn’t even dare to show their face—how credible could their words be?" Lin Tian wasn’t convinced by the masked man’s words, believing that soone who saved others and still hid their face while trying to control Charlotte couldn’t be trusted.
"Who are you? Do I need to explain myself to you?" the masked man said coldly.
After speaking, the man’s eyes flashed, and his body suddenly turned into black smoke, rising upward. Lin Tian sneered, suddenly darted forward, passing through the smoke, and simultaneously, a shadow flew out and hit the wall—it was a black bat.
The bat fell to the ground and instantly transford back into the masked man who had been trying to fly away. The man’s attempt to transform into a bat and escape was thwarted by Lin Tian, who struck him to the ground.
After the mission at the Sea Eye, Lin Tian’s strength and speed had increased; with a single move, the masked man couldn’t escape Lin Tian’s blockade.
"Who are you?" The masked man eyed Lin Tian warily and spoke in a deep voice.
"Don’t all you Blood Clan pride yourselves on noble etiquette? Besides wearing a mask, now you don’t even introduce yourself before asking for my na—so much for your noble etiquette," Lin Tian said disdainfully.
"Heh..." The masked man chuckled hoarsely, then said, "You’ve disrupted my plans and still want to know my na? Wait until you survive then."
The masked man’s eyes flickered, turning silver in an instant. The mask on his face was shattered by his sudden burst of montum, revealing his true appearance.
At this mont, his face was frightening, with vampire fangs exposed from his mouth, and black veins appeared on his face, making him look like a demon crawling out of Hell.
With a flick of his sleeve, a mass of black clouds flew out, transforming into countless Blood-sucking Bats, swarming nacingly toward Lin Tian and even Zhang Lingyu, as if to drain them dry of their blood.
Zhang Lingyu calmly pulled out a talisman, reciting an incantation, causing the talisman to burst into flas just as the swarm of bats descended. When the bats’ sharp teeth were about to bite Zhang Lingyu, they crashed into a wall of fire at the final step, igniting into burning fireballs that fell to the ground.
As for Lin Tian, it was simpler; clenching his fist, he punched with purple flas so that any Blood-sucking Bat touched would burn to ashes.
"Compared to the ancient battlefield fight with Charlotte, you’re far inferior, and to think you are supposed to be her bloodline superior," Lin Tian scorned, though he was more surprised that Houqing had boosted Charlotte’s power to break the restraints and limitations of bloodline control, surpassing the masked man.
If not for the control over the bloodline power, the masked man wouldn’t have been Charlotte’s match. Of course, his bloodline power now had no effect on Charlotte either.
Based on the power from the masked man’s attacks, it was clear he was no longer as strong as Charlotte, though his thods were sowhat bizarre.
"Lin Tian, don’t waste ti on this. Capture him and ask questions later; he won’t dare lie then," Zhang Lingyu reminded impatiently.
The masked man was startled and about to flee, but Lin Tian got serious. As soon as the man moved, Lin Tian flashed behind him, a purple fla-imbued hand striking his back. The man scread miserably, collapsing to the ground, his back scorched and burned severely.
"Alright, Charlotte, Rossi, ask whatever you want to know. He can’t stir up any more trouble," Lin Tian said to the siblings.
Charlotte stepped forward a few steps, gravely asking, "I’ll ask you again, what was your purpose in saving back then?"
Although the masked man was burned by the power of fire, he wasn’t dead yet. Despite being defeated in one move and appearing disheartened, he suddenly started laughing.
"Hahahaha..."
After laughing for a long ti, his laughter stopped abruptly. Sitting on the ground, he stared intently at Charlotte and said, "Do you really not know the secret about your own family bloodline?"
"Family bloodline secret?" Charlotte and Rossi exchanged glances, both showing confused expressions.
Lin Tian and Zhang Lingyu were equally puzzled. How did rescuing Charlotte from the fire connect to family bloodlines?
From Charlotte’s recollections, Lin Tian had discerned so hints and knew that Charlotte’s family wasn’t so simple. But what kind of family bloodline could intrigue the Blood Clan?
"From your expression, it seems your clan leader father didn’t tell you about the family’s bloodline secret," the masked man said in a calm tone, not appearing like a prisoner, or at least not afraid of death.
Lin Tian was montarily surprised to find that Charlotte and Rossi were the clan leader’s legitimate daughter and son. Simultaneously, he rembered sothing—almost forgotten.
Location: Fanyin Temple in Zhonghai City. Ti: The day the Purple Fla Gold Sword erged. Lin Tian had used the fire of the Purple Fla Gold Sword to destroy Blood-sucking Bats, while the female zombie, also known as Nu Ba, had saved Rossi. Nu Ba had inadvertently ntioned that Rossi’s bloodline was sowhat special.
Now, it seed there truly was so background to it. Thoughts swirling in Lin Tian’s mind, not only did he want to know the special nature of the siblings’ family bloodline, but so did Rossi and Charlotte.
