Lightning Is the Only Way

Chapter 849

Gravis' mind stopped as he heard the old man's words.

How did he know!?

A ton of questions appeared in Gravis' mind, and he became nervous. This was not something simple! One of the Peak Sects knew that he had a beast body. If they decided to send a Peak Immortal King, everything would be over.

Yet, the question was, why didn't they? If they had known that he was a beast, why hadn't they arrived to kill him yet?

Gravis was sure that his secret couldn't have been found out just now. After all, there was no way that a Peak Immortal King was in such an unimportant and remote location.

This could only mean that the old man had noticed it back then. Additionally, the old man could have unveiled Gravis' status right then and there. At that time, Gravis would have been helpless against any Immortal King, and there had been a lot of them.

On top of that, a whole 40,000 years had passed since then. There had been more than enough time to transmit the news to the Life Sect and request for a quick extermination.

What was going on?

There were only two explanations Gravis could come up with, and he would find the answer to which one was correct with a question.

"And what's that supposed to mean?" Gravis asked evenly.

The old man only smiled kindly as he stroked his beard. "It means that you have a beast body," he said.

"And how would you know that?" Gravis asked coldly.

The old man laughed as he found the question quite amusing. "How do I know that?" he asked with a laugh. "I saw it with my own eyes back then. When I saw you using your Soul Laws to keep that boy alive, I was quite surprised by your Laws. So, I took a closer look, and who would have thought, you have the body of a Black Demon."

This answer was everything that Gravis needed to determine why nothing had happened to him yet.

It was possible that he was only taking a guess, and if Gravis directly asked how he
