A Man Like None Other

Faced with Ling Yan’s questioning, David did not answer directly.

He first glanced at the injured Ling Shuang, then turned his gaze back to Ling Yan, his tone calm but carrying a hint of coldness: “You are the Heavenly Fire Sword Master? Ling Shuang’s master?”

“Indeed, it is I!”

Ling Yan said proudly, his eyes flashing, “Answer my question!”

David countered, “Why should I answer you? It is you, as the master, who, without asking questions, inflicted such heavy damage on your own disciple. What is the reason for this?”

“She brought people here to save them from danger. What is wrong with that?”

“Insolence!”

Ling Yan’s face darkened. “How I discipline my disciple is none of your business, you junior!”

“The Blazing Fire Secret Realm is my place of seclusion. The rule is that no outsider may set foot here!”

“She brought people here without permission, which breaks the rules and deserves punishment! I haven’t crippled her cultivation, out of consideration for our master-disciple relationship!”

“Now, answer me immediately: where did your Fire Control Step come from? Otherwise, don’t blame me for capturing you, searching your soul, and refining your spirit to get an answer!”

Facing Ling Yan’s threat, David’s expression remained unchanged. Instead, a slightly mocking smile appeared on his lips: “Your secluded cultivation place? You set the rules? This Blazing Fire Secret Realm… is it truly your territory?”

He paused, his gaze seemingly piercing through the burning rock walls to see the essence of the secret realm’s depths, and slowly uttered a name: “I feel… this secret realm seems more like something left behind by that old guy, the Blazing Fire Demon Lord.”

“What?!”
