But there was no further response from inside, only a persistent urging for him to enter.
Logan hesitated for a moment, but still gritted his teeth and walked in.
After all, whether he stretched out his neck or shrunk it back, the result would be the same – a gamble it was.
If it really was his Master, he believed that he would not harm him.
And those eerie creatures seemed to fear whatever was inside the cave enormously, as they peeked around for a moment before they all scurried away.
Logan watched them retreat into the dark depths, his eyes flickering with curiosity.
He found the activity inside even more peculiar, and was puzzled over whether it was his Master or not.
But the only way to find out the answers to everything now was to go inside.
Once he walked in, there were no more evil obstructions before him.
Logan proceeded unhindered, making his way to the deepest part of the cave.
When he saw the scene at the far end of the cave, he was shocked beyond measure.

It indeed was his Master, truly his Master.
But, such a Master was in too pitiful a state.
He saw Nineteen bound all over with chains, just like that, tied within the cave, all restrained, with various seals and talismans affixed to the chains, each one immensely powerful.
Simultaneously, Logan also recognized some of them as ancient seals.
Who on earth would treat the Master like this?
So it turned out that all these seals were ultimately meant to target the Master.
Master, were you really once a prominent figure?
Logan felt a hint of confusion about this, but he quickly suppressed the thought.
Somehow, seeing that it was his Master, he felt a sense of security.
But upon seeing Nineteen like this, he felt an unpleasant taste in his heart.
The chains were not merely wrapped around his limbs, but were actually protruding through the bones of his limbs, cruelly binding the person.
One could hardly imagine how much suffering the Master must have endured back then.
And who harbored such deep hatred towards the Master to commit such a ruthless act.
“Master, is it you, Blood… Nineteen?”
Originally, the Master had only told him to call him Nineteen, but recalling what White Elizabeth had said, he couldn’t help adding the prefix, Blood.
And the moment he heard “Blood Nineteen,” a breeze tinged with Blood Qi stirred his hair.
There clearly wasn’t any wind here, yet the hair moved as if there was one.
Logan wondered if this was a hint from his Master.
“Master, it seems you can still answer me. Where exactly is this place? I was guided here by a beam of Nicole, could it be that all along, it was you, Master, guiding me?”
Logan had many topics that seemed too overwhelming upon seeing his Master.
“Logan, we finally meet face to face.”
At last, he heard his Master’s voice, laden with a profound wistfulness.
Finally meeting.
Looking at this body bound by chains, Logan suddenly realized something. It seemed that the figure he had been seeing all along was not his Master, but his Master’s avatar.
The true form of the Master had always been trapped in this cave, perpetually sealed, never to see the light of day.
No wonder the Master could not easily use Spiritual Energy and could only adopt methods of guidance.
Moreover, he would often dissipate.
Logan used to think he was off drinking, but now there was another possibility; perhaps it was because his Divine Soul was unstable, requiring rest from time to time.
Looking at his Master in such a state, Logan’s heart was heavy with sorrow.
“Master, it seems this is indeed your true form. I never expected we would meet this way, Master, you… have suffered.”
After all, he was his own master, no matter what his intentions were, or what he was thinking, he had helped him a lot on his path of cultivation.
From the first moment he saw his master’s corpse, he actually never felt fear.
“Master, why did you guide me here? Is there something you wish to instruct me to do?”
Logan quickly calmed his spirits and asked about this matter.
Blood Nineteen did not seem to have any intention to hide anything.
“Indeed, I have used some means to bring you here, Logan, your master has something to tell you, my time is running out, my life is approaching its end.”
Upon hearing this, Logan’s heart was even more uncomfortable.
“Master, how could this be, you’ve lived for so long, how can your life be nearing its end?”
He found it hard to accept.
Yet, Blood Nineteen’s tone was quite relaxed, tinged with some regret, but not much.
“Centuries ago, I once roamed freely among both the righteous and the wicked, I’ve seen glory and decline. Now, to be sealed in such a forsaken place by others is honestly because I was too powerful, and thus I was so feared. On reflection, it seems my life has not had many regrets.”
Logan: …
How should I put it, this kind of arrogant and unrestrained tone, one could tell it was definitely Master’s character; only he would say such things.
Logan’s lips twitched, momentarily at a loss for words at his Master’s statement.
“Master, you’ve fallen to this state, can you please not joke like this?”
“Alright, alright, it’s just that it’s been many years since anyone has spoken to my true form. Those who meet me are either afraid or attack me. To have someone like you calm down and talk is now rare, so it’s inevitable I’d have more to say, no offense, haha!”
Listening to Master’s playful tone, his dimmed heart relaxed quite a bit.
Logan wasn’t sure if Master was saying this to comfort him, but it certainly made him feel deeply moved.
“Master, what should I do to rescue you?”
At this, Blood Nineteen was truly taken aback.
“Rescue me? When I’ve fallen to this state, you still think of rescuing me? Hahaha, indeed, you are the inheritor I’ve valued, the disciple I’ve chosen, good, a good disciple.”
After his surprise, Blood Nineteen seemed immensely satisfied with him.
But soon, he shifted his tone, becoming calm and steady again.
“Logan, I am deeply touched that you wish to do so, but still, you shouldn’t concern yourself with that. I have been trapped here for years, and with your current cultivation level, you cannot save me. Perhaps, with more time you might have a chance, but unfortunately, time waits for no one, and not much of it is left for me.”
Having said that, his breath carried a hint of regret.
“Okay, back to the matter at hand, the reason you can see my avatar is that I exhausted a great deal of energy to send out a part of my spirit. My time was already short and sending out the avatar consumed even more of it, but to gain a disciple like you, I consider it my good fortune.”
Blood Nineteen did not seem to regret it, instead, he felt it was a pleasant surprise.
“Logan, let me tell you honestly, I was just looking for an inheritor to take revenge for me. At the end, that’s my only wish, Logan. The reason I valued you is because of your potential. You are someone with immense potential and a limitless future. Therefore, I’ve decided to let you inherit my mantle, my legacy, to carry it forward and, when the time comes, to take revenge for me. Logan, I ask you just this, can you do it?”
In that moment, Blood Nineteen lost all his previous frivolity and flippancy.
Though the corpse hanging before him showed no reaction or expression.
Yet, even just listening to that voice, one could feel its solemn dignity.
Truly, he was an old monster who had lived for centuries, a figure who had stirred up the world back then.
He seemed like a carefree person but was, in fact, unfathomably deep.
He had thrown Logan a tough problem and a significant burden.
But, remembering their times together and the benefits he had received, how could he possibly refuse him?
Logan immediately knelt on one knee, his eyes bright and filled with sincerity.
“Master, please be assured, I am willing to inherit your mantle.”
“Logan, I’ll speak frankly. This is a very dangerous affair, and my enemies are not weak. Once you agree to help me, we will have sworn an oath to each other. If you fail to complete it or unwilling to do so, you will face backlash yourself. I’m telling you this first, now I ask you again, are you willing?”
If Blood Nineteen were facing someone else, he probably would have forced a contract upon them.
