My Cultivation System

Chapter 44 - Shadow Overseer:- Zerg



"Why not? My little nephew is acting all mysterious and even visited this old man's library after who knows how many years,"

The thin old man revealed an eerie smile on his face as he replied to the Sect leader Gamos. ​​

"Huh? Little nephew? From when are you calling me like that?" Sect leader Gamos scoffed at the old man as he moved towards him.

"That doesn't change the fact that you are my little nephew...Hehe," That old man continued to speak with the same eerie smile on his face.

"Whatever, but don't ever call me like that in front of anyone,"

Sect leader Gamos didn't bother about it much and warned him not to call in front of others.

"You shouldn't talk like that my dear nephew. Respect your elders and in the future, your juniors will respect you," The old man didn't even have a little bit of anger with the Sect leader Gamos's words and joked with him.

"If that is true, then I should not respect you at all," Sect leader Gamos countered the old man's words before taking out a book from his robes.

However, he suddenly stopped his actions and kept the book into his robes once again.

"Huh? What happened? You can't even trust your own uncle?" The thin old man looked hurt as he asked the sect leader Gamos in a sad tone.

"Because of your past actions and the famous title 'Shadow overseer' you have gained with those actions, I can not trust you even if you are my uncle," The sect leader Gamos replied in a deep voice that made the thin old man raise his brows.

"I gained that title because I watch outer sect from the shadows and help the sect remove any threat...,"

"Save all your non-sense to yourself and I know exactly what your work is and how you got that title,"

Before the thin old man could finish his sentence, the sect leader Gamos interrupted him.

"Hahaha...fine then. What do you want me to do to get your trust?"

Finally, the old man laughingly shook his head and asked the sect leader Gamos.

"Swear on your cultivation in the presence of heavens," Sect leader Gamos took a deep breath and asked him to swear.

"I, Zerg, the Shadow overseer of the outer sect of the Blazing inferno sect swears that whatever my little nephew says to me, I will not discuss or inform with anyone. If I do, let the heavens destroy my cultivation,"

Without any hesitation, the thin old man swore on his cultivation and revealed a smile to the sect leader Gamos.

'What the heck! Does he have any other methods to escape from the oath?' The sect leader Gamos didn't expect that his uncle would swear the oath without asking any questions which made him feel uncomfortable for some reason.

"Don't be shocked or confused. I am not that old 'Shadow overseer' anymore." the thin old man revealed a bitter smile as he replied to the Sect leader Gamos' shocked face.

Sect leader Gamos nodded his head and slowly took out the tattered book from his robes.

"Huh? 'Sealing of the bloodlines'?"

When the thin old name saw the book in the sect leader's hands, he felt surprised for a moment and muttered the book name.

"Yes. I want to temporarily seal the bloodline of someone. So, I am searching for a method to do it," Sect master Gamos said about his reason for visiting the old library in the outer sect.

"Oh. That's interesting! Why do you want to seal someone's bloodline? And the most important question is whose bloodline?" The thin old man named Zerg, pondered many questions as he asked the sect leader Gamos.

"As of now, I can't say anything," The sect leader Gamos shook his head and continued, "In the entire outer sect, you are the only knowledgeable person that knows more things about bloodline. So, the reason I am revealing this is that I need your help with something,"

"Finally, this old man has some use for you...Haha," Zerg eerily smiled, making Sect leader Gamos reconsider about asking help from his old uncle.

That's right!

Zerg, the silent guardian of the outer sect and lingers in the shadows and never shows himself.

The upper echelon of the outer sect only knows the stories about the 'Shadow overseer' but what they don't know was the thin old man was their silent guardian and even the grand elder doesn't know about him.

"Can I at least get the bloodline which you want to suppress?" Zerg squinted at the sect leader Gamos.

"I will say. But don't panic after hearing it," the sect leader Gamos became serious all of a sudden as he said to his uncle.

"Stop joking brat. Even though I became old, my cultivation is still higher than you and I can easily digest even if you said you wanted to seal the ancient fire demon bloodline," Zerg scoffed at the sect leader Gamos and as he patted his heart to show that he was strong enough to take any shocks.

"That's right! I want to seal the ancient fire demon bloodline and I need your help in doing so," Sect leader Gamos calmly replied to Zerg.

"What? Are you joining? Where did you find the bloodline?" Zerg became shocked when he heard the sect leader Gamos' words and he became excited.

"Stop being excited and say whether you will help me or not?" Sect leader shook his head when he saw how excited his old uncle was and asked a final question in a serious tone.

"Idiot. Why do you want to seal? Just imagine, if we get our hands on the bloodline, then we can get back family's glory and can become the single ruler of the entire blazing inferno sect," The old man was not in a state to listen to the sect leader Gamos as he continued to tempt him with the things they could get if they get that bloodline.
