Yang Baiyu looked at Long Bufan in surprise. He had said before that Long Bufan had to be at least in the Divine Sea Realm to absorb the Fire Phoenix's blood essence and the pain he had to endure was unimaginable. But now, Long Bufan had absorbed the Fire Phoenix's blood essence so quickly. It was like drinking water. Not only did he not feel any discomfort, he even seemed to enjoy it.
What was the reason?
Yang Baiyu was puzzled. Although his Spiritual Force could track the whereabouts of the Fire Phoenix's Blood Essence, he couldn't sense the existence of the Beast Origin Spirit at all. Because Long Bufan cultivated the Black Devil Art, there was a layer of barrier in his Dantian acupoint. Martial artists of the same level couldn't use their Spiritual Sense to probe the condition of his Dantian at all, unless their cultivation was much stronger than his.
For example, the mysterious white-haired man he had met in the auction house before was able to see through the secrets in Long Bufan's body with just a glance.
"You absorbed all the Fire Phoenix's blood essence?" Yang Baiyu asked with a trace of disbelief.
"Yes." Long Bufan nodded. He didn't know what expression to show.
"But … what method did you use to absorb it?"
Long Bufan laughed bitterly without end in his heart. How should I explain this? After that, he could only play dumb and laugh as he said, "I'm not sure myself. For some unknown reason, that strand of Fire Phoenix Blood Essence suddenly took the initiative to fuse with my bloodline. Could it be that the blood in my body is to its liking?"
"To its liking …" Yang Baiyu was completely at a loss. With his intelligence, he could naturally see that Long Bufan was playing dumb. He took a deep look at Long Bufan. What was this young man's secret?
Yang Baiyu couldn't figure it out. He smiled faintly, "No matter what, it's a good thing that the Fire Phoenix's blood essence took the initiative to merge with you. And it merged so perfectly. If you forcefully absorbed the Fire Phoenix's blood essence, you would have destroyed a part of the Fire Phoenix's blood essence. I can only say that you are very lucky."
Long Bufan smiled but didn't say anything. Yang Baiyu was right. To be able to merge with the Fire Phoenix's blood essence so smoothly was indeed due to luck.
"Long Bufan." At this time, the monarch who had been sitting quietly on the platform suddenly said, "Now that our deal is complete, I have a question. Will you continue to be the Lord of Storm City?"
Long Bufan raised his head and looked at the Emperor who was sitting on the dragon throne. The former Emperor of the Empire was now an old man who was at death's door. The robe on his body was crooked and his face was full of wrinkles like tree bark. There was no longer a trace of the Emperor's spirit on his ashen face. But most importantly, at this moment, in his turbid eyes ….
... It was clearly vigilance!!
'What does this old monarch mean by suddenly asking this? Does he want to take back his territory? Or is he trying to test me? 'Long Bufan thought to himself. He could see that the monarch's eyes were full of vigilance and wariness.
Yang Baiyu also looked at Long Bufan, waiting for his answer.
It was no wonder. Under Long Bufan's control, the Storm City had developed into a small city. It was even an independent existence. Even the monarch with the greatest authority in the empire couldn't penetrate the Storm City's territory.
This kind of result was a kind of scruple for the royal family. It could also be said that it was a hidden danger. This was something that the royal family couldn't tolerate.
But on the other hand, the Storm City was the fruit of Long Bufan's hard work. He naturally wouldn't give up the fruit of his hard work to cultivate to someone else.
