Blaze Lord was actually a Demi-Saint, and the fact that he had single-handedly created Blaze City to shelter the billions of beings from different races was evidence of his might.
Barring the Saints, there was less than a handful of elites capable of killing him… and yet, the Nether River Patriarch was one of them!
That was why he took no offense despite the Nether River Patriarch's curtness, and instead asked in confusion, "What do you mean, Nether River? Human Grand Luo? What human Grand Luo?"
Nether River snorted coldly, his killing intent bursting then, and the Blaze Lord promptly said, "As you are well aware, Nether River, many cultivators pass through Blaze City every year, including the rare few Grand Luo. I myself am often in seclusion all year long and would not know about that…"
"Scarlet Flame!" he then barked, and a scarlet light took to the skies from Blaze City.
