Knox's face turned scarlet as he was choked by Henry. The Qi of his entire body had been sealed. When faced with Henry, Knox who was known to be powerful, was no more than an ordinary man.
"Knox, you should know how to answer such a simple question, right?" Henry's eyes were filled with ferocity, the purple aura than enveloped his body expanded.
The corners of Knox's lips curled slowly into a smile. "Dream... on, Henry!"
"You wish to die? Very well! I'll give you a hand!" a purple blade of Qi formed in Henry's hand.
The members of the Colver Family remained silent.
Knox also closed his eyes and displayed an indifferent expression across his face, ready to take the blow of the blade in Henry's hand.
However, after a long pause, Knox did not feel any of the pain that he had imagined. Instead, he felt more relaxed as the fury that had completely suppressed him suddenly vanished.
"I'm very curious." Henry's voice sounded.
Knox opened his eyes and discovered that the blade of Qi in Henry's hand was gone.
Henry looked at Knox. "According to what I already know, the people you have been looking up to are already dead. Furthermore, he no longer belongs to the Recluse Association. Why do you have to be this loyal?"
"Henry, I'm warning you!" Knox yelled loudly. "Even if some sages have already left this world, you shall not... what!¹'
Knox lost himself in the middle of his sentence and suddenly widened his eyes to look at the scene before him in disbelief.
At that exact moment, a purple lotus rotated slowly above Henry's head, giving out a magnificent glow.
Knox's eyes were gradually filled with infatuation as he stared at the purple lotus.
"Henry, what kind of dark magic is this? I...."
A member of the Colver Family shouted, but before he could finish his words, he was stopped by another senior member of the Colver Family.
"Shut up!" After the senior member of the Colver Family scolded the man, he looked at Henry with a complicated expression. Disbelief, suspicion, shock, and satisfaction could all be seen his eyes.
Henry smiled and asked softly, "Do you recognise this?"
Knox's body trembled as he said, "Sacred... Sacred... Sacred Lotus."
"Looks like you do recognise it." The lotus flower above Henry's head disappeared suddenly. "Now do you still think that I am working with with demonic beasts?"
Knox, who had just returned to his senses, fell to his knees and knelt before Henry. He then bowed deeply and said, "Greetings, Immortal disciple!"
When the upper echelons of the Colver Family saw this, they all came to their senses and knelt down in unison. "Greetings, Immortal disciple!"
"All right, you may rise." Henry waved his hand, and all those who knelt were lifted up by an invisible force. "I still have questions for all of you."
