"It's true that I was born during the ancient times on Earth.
But I lost my memories and don't even remember who I was,"
the old man spoke slowly and his eyes filled with more and more confusion.
"What?"
Austin was surprised.
"Boy, I bet you know that I'm just a broken soul."
The old man let out a sigh that seemed to make him deflate.
Austin nodded because he had already seen through the old man's real form.
"In ancient times, I seemed to have fought in an epic battle. In that battle, I got stabbed by a swordsman and died on the spot.
Fortunately, I acquired the Celestial Demon Body so my body wasn't destroyed.
But somehow, my body was locked up on the altar of this underground palace.
It took a long time but eventually, a fragment of broken soul inside my dead body awakened and here I am.
I'm not myself because most of my soul is missing.
I don't know my name, why I went into that battle, who killed me, and why my dead body ended up being trapped here," the old man explained softly.
Every word he said cemented the fact that he was at a loss.
As if whenever he tried to remember anything, he came up short.
"I see..." Austin couldn't find any other words say.
After just a bit of prodding using his spiritual sense, he found that the elder was strong but his soul was incomplete.
Since Austin couldn't bear to look at the old man any longer, he turned his attention to the flood dragon's dead body. On its head was a deep cut left by a sword, and the stark whiteness of the bone drew his attention.
A terrifying sword intent emanated from the wound.
'Looks like the strong sword aura that filled this underground palace was from the wound on the flood dragon's head.
Clearly, the swordsman finished it off with one strike.
It's been such a long time but the sword intent that that master released still remains here, ' Austin mused to himself as he observed the beast's wound.
"The person who took your life is an extraordinary swordsman."
Austin's soft voice was filled with awe.
"Judging from the wound alone, that swordsman must have must have remarkable swordsmanship,"
the old man said.
"I see..."
Austin's mind was filled with the terrifying sword intent emerging from the flood dragon's wound.
Not long after, he bid farewell to the old man. He left the underground palace with the remaining members of the Divine Moon Sect and returned above ground.
Since the old man was just a broken soul that had nothing to do with the Divine Moon Sect, Austin thought there was no need to give him a hard time.
"I know you have some way to contact the people at the headquarters.
Send a message to the headquarters and report what happened here now.
Tell them that one of the experimental rats came back alive,"
Austin coldly ordered without even a glance to the members of the Divine Moon Sect.
All the members trembled and hurriedly did as told for fear that Austin would lay his hand on them if they defied his orders. They quietly moved as one and led him to an old altar on the mountain.
A fist-sized blue crystal ball could be seen on the altar.
A slender middle-aged man walked to the altar and knelt down, all the while lowly muttering something. After a few moments, he placed his hand on the crystal ball.
In just a few seconds, the crystal ball emitted a dazzling blue light that soared into the sky, lighting up their surroundings.
A moment later, a phantom figure appeared above the crystal ball.
The figure wore a black robe and his face was hidden away by the hood of the robe. He rippled in the air.
'Turns out there's a teleportation array inside the crystal ball. Once it's activated, it can receive sounds and images, '
Austin quickly recognized the use of the crystal ball.
"What is it?" The figure clad in black robes asked.
From his raspy voice, Austin quickly deduced that the figure was a rather old man.
According to Austin's instruction, the middle-aged man reported the events to the elder.
Once the report was over, the black-robed man turned and fixed his sharp eyes on Austin.
"Are you really one of the rats before? You made it out of there alive? "
