Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

"Heh, don't be nervous. I mean no harm. Let me introduce myself I am Kartis Wave, from the Kartis family of the Empire's Central region," the young man said with a smile.

The Kartis family!

Blaze Regret's body tensed up immediately, and a faint chill flashed in his eyes.

"You seem quite hostile towards the Kartis family," Kartis Wave observed, a hint of confusion in his eyes.

"I just don't have a good impression of them," Blaze Regret sneered. If the young man in front of him knew that he had killed Kartis Song from the Kartis family not long ago, his elegant demeanor would likely be shattered instantly.

"The Kartis family... I haven't been back there in a long time," Kartis Wave shook his head and said softly, "By your demeanor, it seems you have some grudge against the Kartis family. But don't worry, their matters have nothing to do with me. My surname is just a formality."

Hearing this, Blaze Regret frowned inwardly. He was starting to find it hard to discern the young man's intentions.

"I've told you my name. Don't you think you should introduce yourself?" Kartis Wave's smiling face gave off an extremely gentle vibe, making it hard for Blaze Regret to find a reason to refuse.

"My name is Blaze Regret," Blaze Regret hesitated for a moment but eventually decided to be truthful.

"As expected, I see his shadow in you. How is Blaze Ash doing these days?" Kartis Wave sighed, his voice calm.

Upon hearing this, cold sweat seeped from Blaze Regret's palm. For the first time, he felt as if someone had seen through all his secrets.

First Nor Amelia, and now his father this young man named Kartis Wave seemed to know everything.

"Your father was quite a remarkable figure in the Empire's Central region back in the day. And after leaving that place, he soared even higher. Unfortunately..." Kartis Wave shook his head lightly, trailing off.

"You know my father?" Blaze Regret asked urgently.

"More than just knowing him," Kartis Wave began, a hint of reminiscence in his eyes. "Forty years ago, a man named Ice Lotus Master froze Stell Stone City and slaughtered 100,000 lives. It was your father and I who personally killed him."

Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret felt as if a thunderbolt had struck his mind. Kartis Wave's words contained so much information that he found it difficult to process all at once.

Forty years ago? That would mean his father, Blaze Ash, must be at least sixty years old.

Although cultivators have extremely long lifespans and sixty years is merely youth for a Spirit Master, why then did Blaze Ash appear to be in his middle years?

Moreover, Kartis Wave had just mentioned that Ice Lotus Master was slain by him and Blaze Ash. Given Blaze Ash's Spirit Lord level strength, how could he have participated in such an event?

Questions swirled like a storm in Blaze Regret's mind.

"What, Blaze Ash never told you?" Kartis Wave looked at Blaze Regret, puzzled. Then, with a wave of his hand, two large doors slammed shut with a bang, leaving the two people about to enter Clear Water Pavilion standing there, stunned.

"Can you tell me about my father's past?" Blaze Regret shook his head and smiled bitterly.

"Forget it. If Blaze Ash didn't want to tell you, then I have no reason to either. Let's talk about Nor Amelia instead," Kartis Wave said, changing the subject with a mischievous smile.

"Nor Amelia?" Blaze Regret blinked in confusion.

"Yes, you have a trace of Heavenly Kui's aura on you. I trust my senses are not mistaken," Kartis Wave nodded, his tone teasing.

"Heavenly Kui?" Blaze Regret's face changed abruptly upon hearing this. Nor Amelia's mystical beast was actually Heavenly Kui!

Heavenly Kui, a water attribute mystical beast, ranked seventh in the Mystical Beast Records. Although the rankings in the Mystical Beast Records are not solely based on strength, the higher the rank, the rarer their appearances on the Spirit Beast Continent. The most recent records of Heavenly Kui date back thousands of years.

"What is your relationship with Nor Amelia?" Blaze Regret snapped back to reality, a hint of wariness appearing in his eyes.

"Oh, getting jealous?" Kartis Wave chuckled. Though his tone was calm, his provoking demeanor was infuriating.

"None of your business!" Blaze Regret retorted, abandoning any pretense of respect for his elder and rolling his eyes at Kartis Wave.

"Strictly speaking, I am Nor Amelia's uncle," Kartis Wave said with a playful smirk.

"Greetings, Uncle Kartis!" Without thinking, Blaze Regret quickly clasped his hands in a respectful gesture, his attitude shifting so rapidly that Kartis Wave was momentarily taken aback.

"You're quite straightforward," Kartis Wave said, caught between amusement and exasperation.

"Since you know my father, calling you uncle is only fitting," Blaze Regret replied earnestly, realizing for the first time just how thick skinned he could be.

"Time flies; I must be getting old," Kartis Wave shook his head with a smile. "Since you put it that way, I won't hold back any secrets. The spiritual herbs you're looking for are indeed rare, but I do know something about the whereabouts of the Yuqitian Fragrant Grass and the Netherworld Essense."

Upon hearing this, Blaze Regret's eyes lit up, and he unconsciously crumpled the white paper in his excited grip.

He hadn't expected that in just one afternoon, he would obtain clues about two of the spiritual herbs. Entering this Clear Water Pavilion had indeed been the best decision of the day. Your adventure continues at empire

Night gradually descended like a curtain over the vast Bloodstone Pass. Even though it was night time, the hustle and bustle inside the pass did not diminish in the slightest. Countless lanterns, as numerous as fireflies, illuminated the streets, and the lively atmosphere could be felt clearly even from within the inn.

"It turns out that Netherworld Essence is a companion elixir of the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, only growing beside it. No wonder there's no detailed record of it in ancient texts. If I can find the Ghostly Fragrant Grass, I will naturally find the whereabouts of the Netherworld Essence."
