CHAPTER 115 THE HOLY MAIDEN'S MARRIAGE
Steven and Stephan could not help but be shocked. They had not expected Darren to hit Henry
directly!
"Darren, don't be so impulsive. You'll get into trouble if you provoke him." Steven began to worry about
the situation.
"What exactly is the Medicine Pavilion?" Darren asked, recalling what Henry had bragged about.
"Darren, you don't even know the Medicine Pavilion?" Steven was somewhat surprised. "Did you just
arrive in the Holy Land?"
Darren nodded honestly.
"No wonder you don't know about it." Steven suddenly realized what was going on, and then he said,
"In this case, I will tell you more about it. Let's talk while walking. After you came to the Holy Land,
everything will become more complicated than you have experienced before. Each force is in complex
dynamic with other forces. Don't be impulsive from now on, Darren."
Having said this, Steven and Stephan signaled Darren to come with them. As they walked, they filled
him in on the situation in the Holy Land.
In this way, Darren learned that the strengths of the Holy Lands were not as simple as he had just
heard before he arrived in this area.
"Darren, I advise you to join a big force as soon as possible, because being an individual cultivator in
the Holy Land will never be easy. If you do not mind, I recommend you participate in the examination
for becoming an outer disciple of the Lotus Holy Land," Steven said.
"Steven, are you from the Lotus Holy Land?" Darren asked. He just heard Steven mention his story.
"Well, yes, I am. Unfortunately, even though Stephan and I have been here for so many years, we are
just outer disciples. We can't help you much. I think... you seem to be at the peak of the Spirit Realm,
aren't you? If your talent is qualified, it will be absolutely no problem for you to become an outer
disciple."
Darren was going to the Lotus Holy Land to look for his sister! It couldn't be better that he had met two
outer disciples of the same place. He agreed immediately.
"Steven, we should be in the Dragon Holy Land now. Why did you come so far to hunt diabolic
beasts?"
"Although it's thousands of miles apart, it only takes a few seconds if we use the transmission array.
Five ink stones are really a big cost."
"Transmission array, ink stone?" Darren was puzzled about these unfamiliar words.
"Oh yes, I forgot to tell you. Ink stone is the currency of the Holy Lands. Usually, you can use a superior
spiritual herb to exchange for an ink stone. The transmission array is a special tool which can instantly
teleport people thousands of miles away. They said that it was made by powerful rule cultivators to
make a lot of money for them," Steven explained.
"Oh, I know." Darren nodded and then said, "Friends, you haven't told me about the Medicine Pavilion
yet."
Hearing this, Steven scratched his head and sighed, "Look at my poor memory, I forgot it again!"
"The Medicine Pavilion is a great force here. I heard that their Pavilion Leader is as strong as the Holy
Lords! With a single wave of his hand, he can trigger thunderbolts, control ground fires and extinguish
millions of cultivators in a second. His strength is extremely horrific!
Even the ordinary disciples among them are remarkable. They have awakened their Spirit Power and
possessed the means of attack that ordinary people do not understand. Of course, I have heard that
there are pill refiners and elixir refiners among the rule cultivators. They have learned no means of
attack, but their status is very dignified."
"You're wrong, Steven." Stephan, who had been silent all along, now chimed in.
"What's wrong?"
"There is also another profession among the rule cultivators, which is more powerful than these two,
even greater than the rule cultivators who have learned the means of attack."
"Really? Don't talk nonsense! Why don't I know that?"
"Ha-ha, have you heard of the runic expert? That's the most powerful rule cultivator. I overheard about
them from the disciples of the Medicine Pavilion by accident. Outsiders don't know in general."
After Darren heard that, he recalled Wayne right away. He was a runic expert! No wonder he could
make such powerful and extraordinary runes! It was truly astounding.
"It's bullshit! I've never heard of it!" Steven didn't believe it at all.
"What Stephan told us was right. I was fortunate enough to witness how powerful a runic expert could
be. Their power really is frightening," Darren said.
"Well, let's not talk about these irrelevant things. We'd better go back to the Holy Land first. In a few
days it will be the contest for the Holy Maiden's marriage! As outer disciples, it's enough for us to send
a boar diabolic beast as a gift." The truth was that Steven did not believe Darren's words, because he
had never heard of the runic expert in the Holy Land. How could Darren had met one outside the Holy
Land? He did not want to further interrogate Darren and embarrass him, so he diverted the topic.
"This stupid contest makes me furious! It's humiliating that our Holy Land would be threatened by two
Ancient Families." Stephan growled angrily as he smashed a big tree by the roadside with one punch.
"The Holy Land is threatened by Ancient Families?" Darren didn't understand. Were there any other
forces in this Holy Land?
"Yes. As I told you before, the forces in the Holy Land are very complex. I need a lot of time to fill you
in! I just hope that on the day of the contest, one of the outer disciples of the Holy Land will come out
and win the race, so that the Holy Maiden will not have to be forced to marry one of their members.
How shameful for us if that happens!
The two families are malicious. They disqualified our inner and core disciples from participating in the
contest, otherwise they would easily be defeated!" Steven sighed deeply, grief and indignation mirrored
on his face.
"I heard that the master of the Holy Maiden is dying. They asked the two Ancient Families for help, but
both of them requested the Holy Maiden to marry one of their members before they help her. After a
long consultation, the two families agreed to hold such a contest. But the premises are the contestants
should be less than twenty years old, and only the outer disciples of the Holy Land are allowed to
participate. It's obvious that the Holy Maiden will belong to one of the two Ancient Families in the end."
Stephan was also indignant.
Darren did not say anything. It was quite interesting to listen to them chatting and learn about the Holy
Land at the same time.
"Speaking of this, the Holy Maiden has the same last name with you, Darren. She is so young that she
would not want to marry now, but she respects Elder Xenia so much that she must save her.
Hearing this, Darren's heart beat fiercely and he asked, "What's the full name of the Holy Maiden you
speak of?"
"Full name? I have heard that Elder Xenia has called her Belle, but I don't know if it's her name."
Belle Chu!
Darren's heart began to pound like a drum. The girl they had been talking about was his sister! He
needed to find out the details at once!
"Friends, let's hurry up," Darren urged.
"Ha-ha, Darren, why are you in such a hurry, do you want to join in the contest? Don't think about it,
boy. Even Zane Zhou, who is the first ranking outer disciple, might have a poor shot at winning. He is at
the eighth stage of the Mysterious Realm. Young disciples of the Ancient Families are not easily
defeated." This belongs to - ©.
Seeing that Darren's cultivation base was at the Spirit Realm, Steven could not help but joke about this.
"I'm sure I'll join in the contest of the Holy Maiden's marriage." Darren's answer took them by surprise.
"What?"
They were stunned. They were just joking, and didn't expect Darren to take it seriously!
"Darren, are you serious? Buddy, I advise you not to join in it. At your stage, you will surely be killed in
the contest, believe me," Steven persuaded sincerely.
"Marriage?"
At this time, Elsa, who was resting in Darren's arms, suddenly woke up.
"Who do you want to get married with?"
Elsa pinched Darren's ear when she said this.
"Don't do that, Elsa. I just need to join the contest," Darren replied with a solemn face. He had just
heard from Steven that his sister was very reluctant to marry, so at least he had to know the whole
situation first. If necessary, he would certainly take part in the contest and win over the so-called
Ancient Families!
