As soon as Zhu Long grasped the sword, His body felt like it was burning in the deepest pits of hell. But the burning sensations lasted on for a split second, but during that time, Zhu Long had experienced immense pain, to the point of his skin turning pale and his lips blue. It seemed to take all of Zhu Long's power to withstand that pain.
Hou Ming had witnessed Zhu Long's drastic change in facial expression but remained calm. It seemed like He knew that Zhu Long would feel that immense pain.
Even though the pain was for a split second, Zhu Long's body and mind felt exhausted. He looked towards Hou Ming with a complicated gaze, when Zhu Long saw that Hou Ming had a calm expression, he knew that the pain was something that was supposed to happen.'He could have at least told me to get ready, It would have been better than getting hit with immense pain out of nowhere.' Zhu Long was annoyed at the fact that Hou Ming hadn't warned him.
Suddenly, Hou Ming's face was filled with a surprised expression. He looked towards Zhu Long with complete awe,'This… It can't be..' Hou Ming was in complete disbelief when he saw Zhu Long's body, more accurately, The aura emanating from Zhu Long. Hou Ming had sensed Zhu Long's aura getting stronger to the point of even suffocating him. Ku Wang who stood behind Ku Wang also felt the aura. His face paled and his body felt weaker. In an act to save himself from this powerful aura, Ku Wang retreated as far away from Zhu Long as he could. When he reached half way into the Mansion, his body felt lighter and more stable.
It wasn't only Ku Wang and Hou Ming, Zhu Long was also very surprised by the changes that were occuring within his body. He felt a lot more powerful,'With this power, I'm sure that I could have killed that Tiger like beast with only a few attacks.' Zhu Long felt confident with this sudden change.
'Old Yang must know why My body Reacted that way to the blade. But looking at Hou Ming's calm expression just a few seconds ago, he had also expected me to feel some pain when I grasped Phoenix cry.' Zhu Long said in his mind as he looked towards Hou Ming's surprised face. 'Maybe He doesn't know.But still, might as well try."He thought as he saw Hou Ming's face was filled in complete surprise.
Hou Ming shook his head and looked towards Zhu long, whose face was completely calm. He was astonished to see that the guy in front of him hadn't shown much of a reaction after his aura changed, it seemed like he had felt that before.
"Senior Brother Ming, Could you tell me why I felt that pain the second I grabbed Phoenix Cry?" Zhu Long inquired Hou Ming with a serious tone. His face was cold and had a hint of demonic aura within them but Hou Ming hadn't noticed that demonic aura.
Hou Ming thought for some time. He then looked towards the Ku Wang who was within the Mansion. Ku Wang's face was still pale but as he had just taken a re-vitalising pill, his qi was recovering slowly. He then looked hopelessly towards ZHu Long. "Little Brother Lin, I cannot say much about this sword. But what I will say is that I hope Little Brother Lin will get even more powerful soon. When that time comes, everything will be revealed to you." he answered guilty. It seemed like Hou Ming himself didn't want to keep secrets but was obliged to do so.
Zhu Long looked disappointed after hearing Hou Ming's answer,'by the way Senior Brother Ming looked towards Ku Wang before answering my question, I'm sure that Phoenix Cry is related to Him in a special way...It would have been easier if Senior Brother Ming had told me the reason now but I guess that he must have his own reasons. No matter, I will find out the secrets sooner or later so until then, I must endure."
Ku Wang, Who was feeling alot better, walked towards ZHu Long. At this time, the aura emanating from Zhu Long's body had already weakened which allowed Ku Wang to breath easily when he got closer to Zhu Long. Even though Zhu Long's aura was already restrained, Ku Wang was still on high alert in case that the aura returned.
Zhu Long felt bad when he saw Ku Wang's pale face. He Smiled wryly and apologized to Ku Wang,"I apologize to Brother Ku for what just happened. I had no control over that aura, It just came when I Grabben Phoenix Cry and suddenly disappeared."

Ku Wang seemed to be Surprised when he heard ZHu Long, he looked deeply into Zhu Long's eyes and said,"Brother Lin, Be honest with me, for how long did you feel the pain when you grabbed the sword and how you felt after the pain ended."
Zhu Long wasn't stupid, when he saw Ku Wang's serious expression, Zhu Long knew that the answer to his question was very important to him. He thought for some time and said honestly,"Brother ku, I'll be completely honest. The pain didn't last long at all. Infact if it wasn't for the case of the pain being so intense, I'm sure that I wouldn't have even noticed it. For how my body felt after experiencing that pain, I'd have to say that I feel a lot more powerful now. I'm sure that I can battle toe to toe with those at the Later nascent stages. Maybe not Peak, but I am positive that I can defeat those under that."
Ku Wang was extremely surprised to hear Zhu Long's explanation.'This.. From his explanation and also the fact that he cannot cultivate qi… It all links to one thing…"
