Ancient Tears BloodLine - Chapter 1087

Chapter 1087: Old man Vince’s cunning plan Chapter 1087: Old man Vince’s cunning plan From MC’s Perspective: Soon, I returned to my residence.

The first thing I did was take a bath.

Then I changed into comfortable clothes before going to bed.

Meanwhile, Austin was waiting for Zack’s return.

He didn’t know Zack had returned and already gone to sleep.

Shortly afterward, He got confirmation from his disciple Leah.

Then he understood that Zack had returned.

He left the residence and went to Zack Lockwood’s place to check in secret.

He appeared above his residence.

He then found someone sleeping inside.

After confirming that it was Zack, he eased his eyebrows.

“Looks like he was exhausted,” Austin said to himself.

He was on the call with Zack earlier, so he knew Zack had faced Black Mark Warriors and convinced them verbally in the end.

If they had attacked, then Zack would have died on the spot.

His eyes turned cold.

He was not only angry with the rich families’ kids, but he was also angry with the person behind the rumors.

If not for the malicious rumors, Zack wouldn’t have had to face these situations.

He already had doubts about a few people in his mind.

But he didn’t know for sure.

After glancing at Zack Lockwood’s residence, he disappeared from the spot.

…

Dark Variant Faction: The Faction Leader Vince was waiting for the update.

But he had yet to receive any news so far.

Because of that kid, he had been getting sleepless nights.

If not for Dean Jerome, he would have taken direct action long ago.

It was an easy task to kill a Warrior below Black Mark Rank.

He didn’t know why it was getting harder for them.

Time passed, Those who came to request a meeting with him were dismissed.

He was not in the mood to talk to anyone.

The Main Elders realized that he was upset about something.

It didn’t take long for the reports to arrive.

He then asked those criminals anonymously what had happened.

Their answer was simple.

They hadn’t found Zack Lockwood.

They had risked their lives to inspect the Star University Aircraft.

But Zack Lockwood was not traveling in any of them.

Vince’s expression darkened.

He had made the decision based on some brat’s information.

Now he thought, what if the information was wrong to begin with?

If it was false news, then their entire effort was a waste.

His eyes reddened in anger.

The veins popped up on his forehead.

He ended the call abruptly.

If the criminals were here, then he would have vented his anger on them.

“Waste!” “Everyone’s a waste,” Vince said in a cold tone.

“If the kid comes back alive, then I’ll have to ask the inner hall and core hall students to kill him,” Vince’s eyes turned cold.

So far, he didn’t want to involve the Dark Variant Faction.

But the faction rivalry has been going on for decades.

Dean Jerome was not doing anything to stop them.

His stance was clear.

He wanted competition between the factions.

If that kid died in faction rivalry, even the Dean couldn’t question them.

A cunning glint flashed in his eyes.

…

The following day, I woke up late.

But I felt refreshed and bright.

After getting out of bed, I started doing my morning routine.

About 30 minutes later, I walked out of the bath and started to wear my uniform.

Then I left the residence a few minutes later.

On the way, I came across the members who were going about their business.

Upon seeing me, everyone was genuinely startled.

“He is back!” “When did he come back?” “Must be last night.” The Warriors started taking pictures while discussing.

After nodding at them, I continued walking towards the Golden Lightning Palace.

Soon, I appeared at the gate.

The huge gate opened up automatically.

Creak!

Seeing that, I walked inside.

I was immediately greeted by the members inside.

I smiled at them before striding toward Master Austin’s residence.

When I got there.

Creak!

The door opened before I could touch the knob.

Austin was the one who opened the door.

“Master,” I greeted him.

“You have come,” Austin said with a smile.

Then he welcomed me inside.

I nodded to him before going in.

Master Austin sat in his seat.

I sat opposite him.

“Looks like you have recovered from the fatigue,” Austin said.

Hearing that, I smiled and started recounting the things that happened to me during the mission.

About 20 minutes later, Austin sighed.

He didn’t expect a Central Fort City Lord to be a corrupt official.

He had stopped paying attention to the cities not long ago.

For warriors above the Black Mark Rank, they had more serious work to do.

Then he looked at his disciple and asked, “What’s your plan next?” Hearing that, I replied, “Master, I have decided to reach the Peak Stage of General Rank first before going out for the next mission.” I had found that someone was targeting me.

Otherwise, the rumors wouldn’t have spread this fast.

Someone was deliberately doing it from behind.

I strongly felt my strength was not enough to uncover the truth.

Austin fell into deep thought.

Zack Lockwood’s experience had given him a rude awakening as well.

He thought that if Zack Lockwood went on the mission next time, the people would target him for sure.

Who knew?

If a Silver Mark Warrior targeted him next, then who would save Zack Lockwood then?

Austin felt a headache.

It hadn’t happened with his other disciples.

They were able to reach the Black Mark Rank without any troubles.

But Zack was facing these problems so soon.

More importantly, the outside world didn’t know about Zack’s three elements.

If it was known, then other forces would send their assassins to eliminate Zack Lockwood.

After some pondering, he said, “Zack, until you become a Black Mark Warrior, don’t accept any missions.

I’ll talk to the Faction Leader.” Hearing that, I nodded at him.

Then we talked about a few other topics before I left my Master’s residence.

Then I started walking toward the essence chamber to cultivate.

During the mission, I hadn’t had time to practice.

The warriors training in the courtyard were shocked to see me.

After nodding to them, I quickly arrived at the essence chamber to cultivate.

I found the available essence chamber room and entered inside.

Creak!

The door behind me closed automatically.

Then I went to the console and activated it.

Buzz!

The next second, pure world energy started pouring from the inlet.

In the blink of an eye, it began to cover the whole chamber.

Seeing that, I stepped inside the platform and sat cross-legged on the ground.

Then I closed my eyes and started to run the lightning method.

The next second, the Star rune in my mind started to flicker.

Slowly, I began to absorb the purple energy from the surroundings.

When the purple energy entered my body, I started to guide the energy according to the lightning method.

The purple energy coursed through my body in the specified pathways.

After circulation, the refined essence entered the dantian.

The refined purple essence mixed with the liquefied purple essence.

Seeing that, I continued to repeat the process.

Meanwhile, The news of Zack Lockwood’s return started to spread like wildfire.

Those who had spotted him shared his picture in the media.

It didn’t take long for the whole Thunderflame Faction to know it.

Even the other Main Elders learned about the news from their disciples.

The other Main Elders were genuinely surprised.

They were aware that many warriors believed the false rumors and started looking for Zack Lockwood everywhere.

Now that he has returned safely, the person who was behind the rumors must be pissed off.

The Main Elders suspected the Dark Variant Faction, including Austin, but they didn’t have evidence for it.

Zack Lockwood had returned safely.

They didn’t have any reason to target the Dark Variant Faction.

…

Meanwhile, Inside the Dark Variant Faction, the Faction Leader Vince lost his cool.

He had guessed it from the criminals’ failure yesterday.

But to actually hear the news, he was pissed off.

He was starting to suspect whether that kid had given the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit to someone else.

If he had consumed it, he would be dead for sure.

Suddenly, he thought of a good idea.

There were a lot more capable warriors like Ronnie Seth in their faction who were at the verge of breaking through.

But they were delaying it for a reason.

They were waiting for a suitable Inheritance to get.

Old man Vince thought about using them.

Once they fought against Zack Lockwood, then he could confirm whether that kid had consumed the Purple Lightning Sacred Fruit or not.

If he had consumed it, then someone must have helped him in neutralizing the poison.

He knew for sure that there was no cure.

But there was only one person at Star University who could help that kid.

The person was none other than their Dean, Jerome.

If he was involved, then he should think carefully about his actions in the future.
