“Isn’t this your grandson?” Flame went forward and asked.

However, he also sensed that there seemed to be something wrong with the fellow immediately.

“There is a trace of a mutated seed of flame in my grandson’s body, and such a thing can only be found in your body. How are you going to explain this matter?” The God-tier old man looked at Flame and asked.

“Did you know that due to our cultivation method, we can only have one child and pass the method down through that child? Now that my grandson has died, doesn’t that mean that our family’s future will be cut off?” The old man spoke with grief and indignation again.

In this world, those who had reached the Celestial Realm had an abundance of descendants.

Thus, even if one of their descendants died, they wouldn’t care at all.

However, it was different for this old man.

Due to the cultivation method, this old man only had one son, who only had one son!

Which made it so he only had one grandson!

And he could only have one grandson!

If this grandson died, he would have no descendants!

That was why the fellow was so arrogant and despotic! He still didn’t know to control himself even though he was in the Fire Region.

That was because he knew that no matter what mistakes he made, his grandfather would always protect him!

However, the fellow had never thought that he would provoke someone like Lin Ming who was merciless.

“I really don’t know about this,” Flame shook his head and said.

“Moreover, if I were to make a move, I wouldn’t have left such childish evidence. Besides, I would not do such a thing in the first place,” Flame explained.

“As for the mutated seeds of flame, you and I both know that although others can’t have it, they can collect the traces of them when I make a move,” Flame added.

“Good riddance!” Suddenly, an old woman appeared.

“Your bullsh*t of a grandson has been bullying people and wreaking havoc everywhere just because of your support. In some places, just the mention of your grandson’s name is enough to make a child cry! Now that he’s dead, the world is one less of garbage!” The old woman didn’t even look at the old man’s ashen face as she said all this.

The old woman’s curses made the already distraught old man even angrier!

“Hong Lian, you’re courting death!” The old man’s eyes were wide with anger, and his heart was filled with grief and indignation. He didn’t have a place to release his anger and now this old woman had stepped forward.

“I’m courting death? Who knows who will live and who will die!” The old woman’s aura also erupted. She was actually a Celestial Realm expert!

“Please stop! Since this has happened in the Fire Region, I’ll take responsibility. Besides, even if the two of you fight, you won’t be able to solve anything,” Flame stood between the two and said.

“Humph!” After hearing that, the old man snorted and withdrew his strength.

“How are you going to investigate?” The old man had used all kinds of methods to investigate, but he couldn’t find out who had attacked.

Moreover, the only clue was the trace of a mutated seed of flame!

“Every action in the Fire Region is recorded in the Fire Spirit Stone. We only need to check it to find out,” Flame said.

At this moment, a pretty lady in the crowd watched the scene in front of her.

“Lin Ming!” The first person that the woman could think of was Lin Ming!

She quickly went to the Fire Spirit Stone to check it out.

Flame also led everyone to the Fire Spirit Stone.

“It wasn’t Lin Ming who made a move!”

Feng Lin couldn’t see through Lin Ming’s methods, thus even if she checked the Fire Spirit Stone, she still couldn’t know who made a move.

“Feng Lin, why are you here?” Looking at Feng Lin, Flame frowned.

Normally, he wouldn’t question wherever Feng Lin went.

After all, everyone in this world knew that he loved and pampered his daughter very much.

But now, others would very easily have speculations with Feng Lin’s appearance here.

After all, a Celestial’s grandson had just died.

“I just activated the Fire Spirit Stone and am waiting for the seniors,” Feng Lin said.

“Everyone, please take a look!” Flame activated the relevant scene.

They were all God-tier experts, so even though the Fire Region was vast, they could see all movements clearly.

“He’s still fine at this time, how could it be?!” Looking at the sudden death of his grandson, the old man frowned!

“If it were a Celestial Realm expert who made a move, such a feat could indeed be achieved,” A Celestial Realm expert said, “However, us Celestial Realm cultivators won’t make a move on your grandson.”

“Wait, that guy just now!” The old man suddenly pulled back time and looked at Lin Ming.

“From the beginning to the end, this was the only person who came into close contact with my grandson. Everyone else hid far away,” The old man looked at Lin Ming and said.

“However, he’s only in the Yuanying Realm,” Through the Fire Spirit Stone, Flame could naturally know Lin Ming’s current realm.

“How could he be an ordinary Yuanying Realm cultivator if he can send my grandson to the ground just by relying on his physical body? Could it be that he’s hiding his cultivation?” The old man voiced his doubts.

“It shouldn’t be. We are all at the Celestial Realm. It is very difficult for one to conceal one’s realm in front of us,” Flame shook his head.

He trusted in himself and his judgment.

“Impossible. How could my grandson die just like that?” This old man’s brows were tightly knitted.

“I know that guy. His strength is indeed at the Celestial Realm,” Suddenly, a voice appeared.

Everyone turned their heads and saw that the one who spoke was the Misty Cloud Sect’s sect leader.

It must be known that the Misty Cloud Sect’s sect leader and the Fire Region Lord, Flame, had always been on bad terms.

They had even fought several times previously.

However, the Misty Cloud Sect’s sect leader was not saying this now to make things worse for Flame. Instead, he was trying to help Flame out of his predicament.

Otherwise, if the only grandson of a Celestial were to die in Flame’s Fire Region without any clear reason, it was likely that the Fire Region would not be at peace in the future!

“You know him?” The old man frowned and asked.

“Yes, he is not from this world, thus we are unable to see through his realm,” The Misty Cloud Sect’s sect leader explained.

He and Lin Ming could only be considered to have met once, and Lin Ming was not from this world anyway.

“Find him!” The old man said in extreme anger.

“I wonder how strong this guy is?” Flame asked.

“It’s true his realm is only at the Yuanying Realm, but from what I’ve seen, his strength has indeed reached the Celestial Realm. That being said, it should be very difficult for him to truly unleash his strength. Therefore, I think he can at most unleash the power which is somewhere at the advanced Celestial Realm,” The Misty Cloud Sect’s sect leader analyzed Lin Ming’s strength based on the two days of contact he had with him.

“That’s easy then,” Flame nodded.

At this moment, the old man had already disappeared from where he was. He was off to take revenge for his grandson!
