"Brother
"Sure." Nie Li handed the flame sword with inscribed runic patterns to Luo Jian.
Luo Jian gripped the flame sword and swung his right hand. A violent surge of flame power erupted outward, and with a deafening boom, the ground was split open by a terrifying crack. The sheer destructive force made Luo Jian's heart tremble with fear, and he stammered, "Th-this… this is way more powerful than an ordinary flame sword inscribed with basic runic patterns!"
Such devastating power — how could this possibly be a basic runic pattern? Fortunately, Luo Jian had only slashed at the ground. Otherwise, it would have been easy to kill someone!
Witnessing the terrifying power of the flame sword,
An Advanced Runic Pattern Master at the age of thirteen or fourteen?
Luo Xiao felt his brain struggling to keep up.
The entire Underworld Domain had only one Advanced Runic Pattern Master. That person held an exalted position — an absolutely transcendent existence. Even the most powerful factions showed the utmost respect in that Advanced Runic Pattern Master's presence. The weapons and armor crafted by an Advanced Runic Pattern Master were priceless treasures, coveted only by the most elite powerhouses. An Advanced Runic Pattern Master's influence extended far and wide — a single call could rally ten thousand followers.
And Nie Li — had he already reached the level of Advanced Runic Pattern Master at such a young age? If Luo Xiao helped promote him, Nie Li's influence would be unparalleled. This was truly a blessing for the entire human race!
The other Runic Pattern Master belonged to the Dark Elf clan.
Luo Xiao realized that, at this moment, the Jade Seal Family would likely have to rely on the young man before him. If they could build a good relationship with this youth, it would undoubtedly bring immense benefits to the Jade Seal Family. As for controlling Nie Li — Luo Xiao wouldn't dare entertain such thoughts. Leaving aside the fact that every Runic Pattern Master was extraordinarily intelligent, even if they could temporarily control Nie Li, the day he struck back could very well push the Jade Seal Family into a dangerous abyss.
Moreover, with such a formidable young Runic Pattern Master, how could his master and family possibly be ordinary people?
"Young brother Nie Li, you've already reached the level of an Advanced Runic Pattern Master at the very least. Such exquisite skill — I wonder which renowned master taught you." Luo Xiao sighed with admiration. Nie Li's abilities had completely exceeded his imagination.
Advanced Runic Pattern Master?
Luo Jian didn't react at first, but then something suddenly clicked. His eyes shot wide open: "What? Advanced Runic Pattern Master? Father, are you saying young brother Nie Li is an Advanced Runic Pattern Master?"
Luo Xiao nodded.
Luo Jian slowly turned his head toward Nie Li, utterly stunned. An Advanced Runic Pattern Master at the age of thirteen or fourteen? Good heavens!
Hearing Luo Xiao's words, Nie Li showed no surprise whatsoever. He simply gazed quietly at Luo Xiao. If Luo Xiao was a smart man, he should understand what Nie Li meant.
Meeting Nie Li's deep, unfathomable gaze, Luo Xiao momentarily forgot about Nie Li's age. At this point, it would be impossible to treat Nie Li as an ordinary child. He couldn't even imagine what kind of person could have raised such a monster. After a moment of silence, Luo Xiao said, "Young brother, you've chosen to display such astonishing skill — you must have some intention in mind. Why not tell us, so we can hear it?"
Nie Li had come here through Luo Jian and then demonstrated the abilities of an Advanced Runic Pattern Master — there was no way he had no ulterior motive!
"I hear that an Advanced Runic Pattern Master can wield tremendous influence. I'd like to cooperate with the Jade Seal Family. Of all the profits, I'll take seventy percent and the Jade Seal Family will take thirty. Additionally, if I run into any trouble, the Jade Seal Family will need to help me resolve it." Nie Li thought for a moment and smiled. "As for how to maximize our profits, I'll need Uncle Luo to point the way."
Hearing Nie Li's words, Luo Xiao was overjoyed. Even thirty percent would be of tremendous significance to the Jade Seal Family. Financial gain was secondary — the key was the influence Nie Li could bring! With Nie Li's influence, the Jade Seal Family could rally a great many human powerhouses to their banner!
"Our Jade Seal Family aims to expand the living space of the human race in the Underworld Domain. If you, my dear nephew, can lend your full support, I, Luo Xiao, will be eternally grateful! If you trust us, all you need to do is tell us your demands, and we will do everything in our power to fulfill them! The entire Jade Seal Family will fully support you!"
"Uncle Luo, feel free to go ahead. When I need the Jade Seal Family to do something for me, I'll say so directly," Nie Li said with a slight smile. All he needed was for the Jade Seal Family to stand on his side and even help him deal with the
After receiving Nie Li's answer, Luo Xiao was beside himself with excitement. He and Nie Li settled all the details.
"Your identity cannot be leaked for the time being — that could attract unnecessary trouble. But you can forge some weapons and armor and hand them over to us to distribute. That way, our Jade Seal Family can expand our influence. Of course, we'll also fulfill your request and keep a close watch on the Dark Guild!" Luo Xiao said. Helping Nie Li destroy the Dark Guild wasn't feasible just yet — although the Dark Guild only had one sub-god-tier existence, they had deep connections with several factions in Blackstone City.
