The driver's shoulder twitched.
Blue flames shot up.
The extremely high temperature generated by the flames even caused the surrounding space to distort slightly.
Qin Ze's hand remained on the other person's shoulder, unaffected in the slightest.
The driver looked shocked.
How could a mere alien brat withstand his blue flames?
"Take it easy."
A purer blue flame was released from Qin Ze's wrist.
It instantly engulfed the driver's blue flames.
At the same time, he felt a strong burning sensation in his shoulder.
The driver's eyes widened.
What did he see?
A person from another race had actually cultivated Fire Movement Technique to a level that even he, Hunter the Blue Flame Race, could hardly match.
Who exactly are you?
The driver kept a close eye on Qin Ze through the rearview mirror.
Qin Ze withdrew his hand and said calmly, "The guards have already noticed the abnormality of this carriage."
The driver suppressed his curiosity and started the car again.
The guards at the gate immediately let them through after seeing that Qin Ze was sitting in the car.
The driver became even more curious.
The royal guards showed such respect to a foreigner.
Unheard of.
After the car left the palace, Qin Ze asked, "Are you Hunter from the Blue Flame Race?"
The driver was none other than the big guy who escaped from Torch City.
As for the title of the other party's Hunter, Qin Ze heard it from the Maka Race military officer at the restaurant entrance.
The driver remained silent.
Qin Ze leaned back, completely at ease.
"I just met your Great Sage at the palace and spoke with him in person."
"I'm very disappointed. The current Great Sage has completely lost the demeanor of the Great Sage of the past."
Upon hearing this, the driver's face immediately turned icy cold.
"Stop talking nonsense!"
"How dare you presume to speak ill of Great Sage?"
Who exactly are you?
Qin Ze opened his right hand, and a blue flame flashed and disappeared from his palm.
"I have a deep connection with your Blue Flame Clan."
"Since you're Hunter, Ling should have told you about the Severance Plan from back then."
The driver's eyes were filled with shock.
This alien even knows the secrets of their race.
"Presumptuous!"
"How dare you address Great Sage by his name?"
Qin Ze's lips curled up slightly.
I've been to that Lost World.
" The Fire Movement Technique was learned from the previous Great Sage."
"In that respect, Ling and I can be considered fellow disciples."
The driver fell silent as he watched the pure blue flames bloom again from Qin Ze's fingertips.
That blue flame is exactly the same as the current Great Sage, namely Ling.
"What do you mean?"
Qin Ze: "You can lower your guard now; I'm on your side."
"Besides, before your remaining World Will perished, I promised him that I would lend you a hand in the future, to the best of my ability."
"Park the car on the side of the road, let's have a good talk."
The driver slammed on the brakes and pulled over to the side of the road.
The driver looked into Qin Ze's eyes through the rearview mirror.
What are you trying to say?
"You know about Ling's plans?"
The driver nodded.
Qin Ze said calmly, "As World Hunt Participant, you don't have any thoughts on this?"
"Actually, I'm quite curious. If you really succeed in seizing the World Will from the Maka Race, will your identity as a Hunter change?"
Nine Hunter in one world.
The Maka Race has Hunter.
The Blue Flame Race also has [certain issues] due to historical legacies.
The Maka Race, with its weak World Will, was plundered; the new world only allows nine Hunter to exist.
What will become of the remaining eighteen Hunter?
After a moment of silence, the driver spoke, "My identity as Hunter is now merely nominal."
"My connection with the World Will vanished several months ago."
"The key has lost its magic, and the totem is gradually disappearing."
Qin Ze asked, "So, your Hunter aren't at full strength?"
The driver nodded. "Only the Great Sage and I."
There's nothing to hide.
Everyone in the Maka Race knows this.
The driver continued, "After the World Will completely perished, I went to the Abyss to find a way to quickly give birth to World Will."
"Unfortunately, I couldn't find it, and when I returned here, I discovered that there was no longer a place for us Blue Flame People to live."
His tone was filled with desolation.
Qin Ze expressed his deep sympathy.
With the demise of the World Will and the collapse of the people's faith in their own civilization, the hope of World Will emerging is extremely slim.
His predicament as Hunter was far more than just "miserable".
Tell me about it.
"What were you doing at the palace trying to assassinate your delegation?"
The driver's expression changed, and he quickly said, "It wasn't me, I didn't, you're lying!"
Qin Ze said playfully, "Stop hiding it, raise your right arm."
Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, the driver raised his right arm, which had been resting at his side.
There was a deep wound on it, exposing the bone, and it was dripping with blood.
Those guys are a bunch of parasites!
"They're all cowards who cling to life!"
"Even before they arrived here, these people had joined forces to sideline the Great Sage."
"They wanted to assimilate into the Maka People, but only the Great Sage steadfastly upheld the Blue Flame's faith."
" The Maka Race, wary of the Great Sage, extended an olive branch to them after learning of their intentions, offering them several council seats, effectively excluding the Great Sage from the Blue Flame Race."
Qin Ze suddenly realized.
No wonder World Will hasn't emerged all these years.
The Blue Flame Race had long since fallen apart.
The driver continued indignantly, "Now, for the sake of his people's survival, the Great Sage has had to abandon his ambition for Blue Flame and plans to use the World Will of the Maka Race for his own purposes."
"Although the Blue Flame Race may no longer be able to be called the Blue Flame Race in the future, it is the only way for the clan to survive under the constant exploitation and encroachment of the Maka People."
"But at this crucial moment, those insects actually want to negotiate!"
They must die!
"Otherwise, the Blue Flame Race will have no way out!"
Blue flames erupted from the driver's head, and he exuded a murderous aura, his mental state fluctuating intensely.
Qin Ze frowned. "Control your emotions."
After taking a few deep breaths, the other person finally calmed down.
Seeing this familiar scene, Qin Ze asked, "Have you ever seen the Fifth Prince in the palace?"
The driver nodded. "I saw him a few days ago when I infiltrated the palace to scout it out. We even chatted for a bit. He seems like a nice guy."
"If he could ascend the throne, the two tribes might live in peace. Unfortunately, he has an older brother, so the throne is definitely not going to him."
Qin Ze narrowed his eyes and muttered to himself, "No wonder."
"Are all the mission members dead?"
The driver gritted his teeth. "Only two died, the rest were lucky to survive, but I won't give up!"
Qin Ze said calmly, "Tell Ling that I will help as much as I can."
"Regardless of the final outcome, I have repaid the favor you Blue Flame People have done for me."
"Also, warn him to be careful of the World Overlord."
After saying that, Qin Ze got out of the car and walked back to the hotel.
Since Ling knew that the Fifth Prince was Ying, she must also know his purpose.
Blue Flame Race, Maka Race, Shadow Clan, Foreign Clan.
Both sides are currently using each other's strength against each other, dancing on the edge of a knife.
Success brings titles and honors, failure brings only ashes.
Qin Ze muttered to himself, "Such a rare spectacle, it would be a real shame not to get involved."
