Strongest Spirit Beast Master Family

He suddenly had a feeling that all the problems stemmed from this point.

"In the years after your father's departure, a strange rumor began to ferment in Snow Storm City. It was said that the major powers in the central empire could only survive by relying on your father; otherwise, they would have perished countless times."

"As a result, some major powers began to feel humiliated, and some even developed animosity towards your father. As the war became a distant memory, this sentiment deepened."

Hearing this, Blaze Regret's eyes showed a hint of anger. If it weren't for his father's desperate struggle, these people wouldn't have the chance to enjoy their freedom in Snow Storm City.

Humiliation, did they ever feel the slightest bit of it when they were being ruthlessly oppressed by the powerful figures of the Youngang Empire due to their lack of strength?

"After more than a decade, your father suddenly returned to Snow Storm City. No one knew what he had experienced during those years; however, his body was covered with countless scars, and even his strength had fallen to the Spirit King level," Kartis Wave said softly.

Blaze Regret took a hard sip of the tea in front of him, swallowing even the tea leaves. These revelations were overwhelmingly shocking to him.

"After your father returned, Seng Techan immediately issued a ban, forbidding any faction from spreading the news of Blaze Ash's injuries. After all, he had offended too many people in the great war with the Youngang Empire."

"Yet, the news eventually leaked, and the strong figures from the Youngang Empire flocked in, demanding Seng Techan hand over your father. Otherwise, they threatened to raze the Sun Moon Empire," Kartis Wave's deep voice continued.

"Seng Techan... did he agree?" Blaze Regret's voice was slightly hoarse.

He could imagine how powerless an injured Spirit King would be when faced with the entire force of the Youngang Empire's experts.

As the ruler of the Sun Moon Empire, Seng Techan had no reason to go to war with the Youngang Empire again for him, right?

"No, Seng Techan refused without a second thought," Kartis Wave's response made Blaze Regret pause slightly, then frown. This was not what he had anticipated.

"As a ruler of an empire, if one cannot even protect the meritorious officials, then it would be too incompetent. Moreover, at that time, several major factions in Snow Storm City were also strongly opposed to it, with Angsana Pavillion being the most vocal," Kartis Wave continued.

"However, after Seng Techan's refusal, Kartis Sham and others, citing the greater good, allied with several individuals to take action against your father. Among them, two Spirit Sovereign experts from the Youngang Empire were also involved. Astonishingly, even though your father's power had plummeted, he still possessed unmatched strength for a time."

"With the involvement of forces like Angsana Pavillion, Kartis Sham and the experts from the Youngang Empire could only seal your father's powers and swore not to take his life."

A cold chill flashed through Blaze Regret's eyes as he tightly clutched his black robe.

No wonder the prestigious Kartis Family would lower themselves to meticulously target a small family. It seems this grudge has been festering for decades.

"Which factions were involved?" Blaze Regret's voice was hoarse. Regardless of who they were, he vowed to make them pay a heavy price in the future.

"It was too chaotic."

Kartis Wave shook his head with a sigh, "Back then, I wasn't in the Sun Moon Empire, so some things I only heard through rumors. However, it is certain that the leader was Kartis Sham, the head of the Kartis Family. He was also the one who initially stirred up hostility against your father in Snow Storm City."

"Kartis Sham." Blaze Regret softly repeated the name, a sharp glint in his eyes. "Why?"

He couldn't understand why the head of the Kartis Family held such animosity towards his father.

"When it comes to a scoundrel, there's often no need for a reason."

Kartis Wave smirked slightly, "Perhaps it was out of jealousy. Before your father emerged, Kartis Sham was the most outstanding talent of his generation in Snow Storm City."

Seeing Blaze Regret's skeptical expression, Kartis Wave coughed lightly and added.

"Actually, your father had quite a temper back then. Before he revealed his prowess, Kartis Sham once caused trouble for him. In response, your father dragged him by the hair from the gates of Snow Storm City all the way to the Kartis Family, leaving a trench in the ground. It was only after Seng Techan and Shadow Baiyi intervened that he tossed the bruised and battered Kartis Sham into the Kartis Family."

Blaze Regret's mouth twitched slightly, feeling a bit speechless. It was hard for him to reconcile this fierce side with the middle aged man who once boasted about stealing a few bottles of Spirit Condensing Liquid.

"So, if you go to Snow Storm City, the greatest resistance will be from the Kartis Family. Many hidden factions might also target you, but one thing is certain, they won't act openly, as only a few know the truth about that incident. Most people don't even know your father has returned to Sun Moon Empire," Kartis Wave sighed.

"Therefore, what seems to be the bustling Snow Storm City is actually a perilous place for you. Knowing this, do you still plan to go?" Kartis Wave smiled.

"Go, why wouldn't I?"

Blaze Regret clenched his fists with a cold smile, "Whether it's the Kartis Family or any other insignificant pests, they should prepare themselves for what's coming."

"Thirty years ago, my father could stir up a storm in Snow Storm City. Thirty years later, I, Blaze Regret, can do the same."

Crystal clear snowflakes, resembling dandelion seeds, drifted leisurely from the silvery grey sky, eventually accumulating on the ground to form a thin layer.

"Swish!"

Amidst the swirling snow, an ice blue figure swiftly traversed the scene, accompanied by a low, whistling wind.
