CHAPTER 326 THE REQUEST

Boom!

Several disciples of the Martial Holy Land, who were at the primary stage of the Wonder Realm, ran

towards where Darren was standing and shot their weapons on the young warrior.

However, Darren remained motionless with his feet firmly rooted to where he was standing. The

murderous intent in his eyes was so lethal that the enemies' livers and galls seemed to be torn out from

within.

"Ah! This young man?"

A certain disciple couldn't believe his eyes at the sight of Darren.

"Is he really Darren?" the man inquired further in astonishment. At that point, many people had

gathered around. They were all stunned at the scene that was before their eyes.

Nowadays, Darren's physical strength had propelled to a higher level. Even the attacks of the

overmatch at the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm, he could effortlessly withstand without getting

hurt.

"Does anybody want to go on and attack me?" seeing that everyone was held frozen and nobody dared

to take the first move, Darren asked indifferently.

"No, no." The disciples pushed against each other as they staggered backward one by one.

Whoosh!

With one wave of his sword, Darren gave out an ice sword intent and knocked all of the disciples down

on the ground.

"What a powerful sword intent! He really must be Darren! He is the young man who created a

tremendous uproar in the Blade Holy Land!" a disciple that was trampled on the ground reckoned.

"Wow. I never expected that I have lived to see the powers of the legendary Darren. He is really an

extraordinary genius. It pays me good to go out and join you today," echoed another disciple.

People around started to discuss Darren's magnanimous encounters and unbelievable feats in battle.

Some young girls among them looked at Darren with tenderness, their hearts skipping a beat

frantically.

"Go and save yourself, futile minions!" Darren shouted in a cold voice. "If you are not convinced, you

can take your revenge on me. I will wait for you here."

"You really are Darren? Aren't you? The legendary warrior?" one disciple asked.

"Well. Let's go,"

another disciple said. Enduring great pain, they fled helter-skelter after giving a glare at Darren.

On the other hand, Darren didn't kill them for his own consideration. He wanted to see the real power of

Shane, the man who even looked down upon the Heavenly Palace Sect.

"Thank you so much, sir," the disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect said as he stood up from the

ground. Having witnessed Darren's cultivation base, he thought it was necessary for him to show

respect to Darren.

"You are welcome. I know Elder Star. What I did is to help him as my friend," Darren replied with a light

smile while letting his guard down.

Hearing Darren's words, the disciple was utterly sure that the man before him was indeed the well-

known Darren whom he had heard about from Elder Star. Currently, Darren's reputation had prevailed,

so he falsely claimed that he was Darren's friend in that urgent situation moments ago.

"Sir, please don't blame me for pretending to be on friendly terms with you," the youth apologized

promptly, overwhelmed by the potent aura that exuded from Darren.

"Never mind. How did you provoke them to anger? When they hit you, why didn't you strike back at

them?" Darren asked in confusion.

"Alas," the youth sighed in helplessness. "I didn't provoke them. Shane Xiao coveted the treasure that

we obtained accidentally. When he tried to loot it from us, we didn't give it to him. As a result, he

ordered his men to beat us violently. Since my friend abused Shane Xiao, he was taken away to be

lethally punished.

You're right. I didn't dare strike back at them because I was afraid that they might kill me. Yes. I'm really

a coward, but Shane Xiao is too powerful with strong skills and powerful background."

Hearing that, Darren asked with furrowed brows, "What on earth is the origin of Shane Xiao?"

"Sir, Shane is a genius from the Chasm Clan. At the age of thirty-eight, he has almost reached the

Grand Realm. It is really remarkable. However, compared with you, he still lags," the youth responded.

In fact, what he said didn't overshoot the truth, because Darren, who was still under twenty, had the

power close to that of a grand warrior. Undoubtedly, he was more talented than Shane.

"The Chasm Clan?" searching at the back of his mind, Darren asked as he recalled something once

Diana, the Holy Lord of the Lotus Holy Land, had told him that the Heavenly Palace Sect and the

Chasm Clan were the two dominant forces in the southern land. However, the people of the Chasm

Clan were always detached from the world. Seldom, its juniors would appear in the southern land.

"Mr. Chu, how about you go with me to the Heavenly Palace Sect for a few days? You can have a rest

there," the youth suggested. Actually, he was worried that Shane would come to take revenge on him.

"Thanks for your invitation, but I don't plan to go there for the time being. I will stay here for a couple of

days. Perhaps, I will go and visit Elder Star later," Darren said in a calm tone. He had to stir around

now so that whoever it was that had saved Elsa would find him. Besides, he must stay in the place for

a few more days.

As to the Heavenly Palace Sect, Darren was eager to go there to learn something about the sect. He

was anxious to know why it was considered as one of the dominant forces in the southern land.

"Well. Mr. Chu, accept this as a token for the Heavenly Palace Sect. You can keep it. Visit us when you

have the leisure of the time," the youth said as he handed over a token to Darren.

"Thank you. I will certainly visit you at the Heavenly Palace Sect when I happen to journey near the

place," Darren nodded and took the token from the youth. After expressing his gratitude once more to

Darren, the youth left for the Heavenly Palace Sect, for he had to ask their men to save his friend.

When the youth left, Darren picked an inn at random and checked in. When the night fell, however,

beyond his expectation, some stranger came to him.

"Are you Darren?" a kid with a husky voice asked while walking into his room.

"Who are you?" asked Darren in a surprised tone.

"Darren, Hailey sent me here. She asked you to go with me since Elsa was with her." Without any

further delays, the kid put the matter bluntly.

Hearing that, Darren suddenly got excited, and his heart was filled with mirth. Sure enough, it was

Hailey who had saved Elsa, so Darren was right all this time. Quickly, he tidied his room and went

along with the kid.

Along their way, Darren was startled at the ten-year-old boy whose speed was almost on par with his.

However, he didn't sense any aura of the martial artist in him except for a sort of some subtle character

—a rule cultivator.

At an incredible speed, they entered a wildland, which was guarded by many restrictions in mist.

Without the kid, Darren wouldn't have been permitted to enter.

Flying, skipping, threading, and hovering above the wildland for a long time, they arrived at a thatched

cottage.

Schrreeechh!

The sound of bamboo scratching on the ground was heard as the kid opened the door and hinted

Darren to go in.

As the light aided Darren's vision, he saw that four people were sitting inside the room. Upon Darren's

appearance, they were all delighted. Amidst the small crowd, a celebrated beauty amongst them shone

with the dim light. The damsel almost burst into tears at the sight of Darren.

"Darren..." she cried out as she threw herself into Darren's arms and sobbed. The great beauty that

glimmered as a pearl in the vast deep abyss was Elsa. NôvelD(ram)a.ôrg owns this content.

Since they had been separated for a long time, Darren also missed her very much, so he hugged her

tightly, feeling her warmth and sweet scent.

"Oops. Do you need me to arrange a bed for you here?" Callie laughed at the moment, though she

seemed to be a little jealous of Elsa being hugged tightly by Darren.

The woman standing beside her was Hailey. Like Callie, she shared the same feeling.

Blushing at the words of Callie, Elsa removed her hands, and just leaned on Darren's shoulder.

"Elder, are you all right?" Darren hurriedly asked as he bent down to salute to a middle-aged man.

A relieved light released from his eyes, the middle-aged man came over to hold Darren up and said,

"Darren, I'm so happy that you came back. Elsa was so worried about you in the past months."

The man was Thomas, Elsa's father.

"Alas. It nearly caused your life to save me. I don't know what to say. Darren, thank you so much for

what you have done for me," Thomas sighed with his hands on Darren's shoulders. No words could

express how thankful he was to Darren.

"Elder Thomas, you don't need to thank me. It's good to see that all of you are safe and unharmed."

Darren gave Thomas a reassuring smile. The sincerity in his heart was betrayed in the expression on

his face. The young warrior had such a pure heart, blameless, and always willing to help.

"Oops. Why are you father-in-law and son-in-law so polite with one another? Don't do that again.

Darren, now that you have come back, Hailey has something to confide to you. You must help her,"

looking at Darren with a mysterious smile, Callie uttered.

As expected, Darren knew that Hailey wouldn't help him for no reason at all, so he immediately sat

down to give an ear to her request.
