CHAPTER 382 THE MIST

Darren did not know how long he listened to Denise talk; all he knew was that he could not understand

her words. She talked a mile a minute as if trying to speak out all the words inside her mind all at once.

Once she finished talking, she lay down on the grass and fell asleep peacefully.

"Hmm," Darren hummed as he gazed at Denise's beautiful figure and smiled to himself.

He was finally starting to understand why Denise felt so lonely. She was an emotional soul who spent

endless days in a void. It was no wonder why she came to be this way.

Darren then decided that if he would have the chance to let Denise have her real life back, he definitely

would. He would take her to the outside world where she could see everything.

With a soft whoosh, Darren flew away so as not to bother Denise's restful slumber.

In the thirteenth space of the Ancient Void Battlefield, Darren sat on his feet in the air alone in quiet. He

started to check the two dead bodies inside the Space Ring.

The two dead bodies were exactly what he took out from the Devil Den.

One of the dead bodies was full of blade intent and sword intent, the aura of which was incredibly

dreadful that it even made the blade core and the sword core quiver inside Darren's body.

"This dead body must be Hanson's!" Darren knitted his eyebrows together as he sensed the blade

intent and the sword intent.

Now that he had somewhat confirmed that the dead body was Hanson's, he was starting to think that

maybe what Jesse Li said was true. Was it Mathew Xiao who had killed Hanson Xiao?

"Is Mathew Xiao really the Grand Sword Killer, an evil man who killed his only brother?" Darren still did

not dare to believe it. In his eyes, Matthew Xiao was a kind man who did not have even the faintest

killing aura.

"But on the other side, who really knows what is really behind people's faces? The double-headed man

could cheat the powerful cultivators successfully and control the Lightning Holy Land for hundreds of

years." Darren immediately opposed his initial thought.

He then stopped thinking about it. He decided that he would just wait patiently and improve his strength

in the meantime. Once he grew stronger to be able to protect himself, then he would go to see Mathew

and try to figure out the whole thing.

Darren then started on the other dead body. It was all dried up, but Darren could still sense that the

man must have been extremely powerful before he died.

What surprised Darren was that the second dead body also gave off a powerful aura of the sword

intent. It was even much stronger than that from the dead body of Hanson.

Darren laid out the two dead bodies horizontally in the sky. In that way, he could carefully observe

them.

Just as he took out the two dead bodies, a white figure suddenly appeared beside him.

Darren whipped around and was surprised to find that the figure was Finley.

"Why are you here? How about your injuries?" Darren asked, face calm.

Finley did not respond but instead stared at the two dead bodies, eyebrows furrowed into a frown,

contemplating.

"What's going on? What's wrong?" Darren felt something strange about Finley's behavior.

"Darren, this dead body with strong blade intent and sword intent, where did you get it?" To Darren's

surprise, it was the Shadow Emperor's voice that was heard from Finley's mouth.

"I took it back from the Raksa Sea. He was a powerful cultivator from thousands of years ago. It's a pity

that he was killed by his brother," Darren answered.

"Hanson Xiao?"

"Sir, do you also know Hanson Xiao?" Darren's eyebrows slightly raised in surprise.

Finley slightly shook his head. He didn't answer Darren's question, but said, "This is impossible.

Hanson Xiao didn't die. This is not Hanson's dead body."

"Do you mean... Hanson is alive?" Darren's eyes instantly widened in excitement.

"As far as I know, he is still alive. I can still sense his aura."

Hearing the Shadow Emperor's words, Darren was shocked and confused.

"Could you tell me more, sir?" Darren hastily asked.

"All right," the Shadow Emperor started, "Hanson Xiao had broken into the Grand Void Manor, three

thousand years ago. He had fought with the Lord of Void, the other piece of my soul, for a short while

there. The latter had left a secret mark on him, which is why I can sense that he is still alive."

"This is extremely strange if that's the case. If you're sure that Hanson is in fact not dead, whose dead

body is this?" Darren was getting really confused.

"Although whoever this is had practiced blade skill and sword skill when he was alive, it wasn't as

strong as Hanson's. So I'm certain that the dead body is not Hanson." The Shadow Emperor felt

strange when he initially saw the dead body, but he knew that the dead body was not Hanson's.

"Well, it's not really necessary for you to know anything about this. Now go and continue cultivating

vigorously so that you can be completely integrated with the Ancient Void Battlefield as soon as

possible. And don't forget to take revenge for me. Thank you." Right after he finished talking, the

Shadow Emperor's aura completely vanished.

Darren sighed and shook his head. The matter seemed to be too complicated and he did not have

enough time to ponder over it at the moment.

"Damn it, Darren! Why did you have to take the dead bodies here? It's so disgusting!" Finley looked at

Darren with disdain.

"Get out of here. It has nothing to do with you. Go on with your own business and practice. I think

you've seen a real five-star grand warrior and should be very excited. You'd better achieve that

cultivation base soon. If I happen to drag in a five-star grand warrior next time, we will all die if you

cannot defeat him," Darren said to Finley with a laugh.

"Ha-ha, very funny! Don't look down on me! All right then. I'm going to cultivate now. I will break

through to the level of a five-star grand warrior within ten years!" Finley sneered and flew away.

"Huh. Five-star grand warrior in ten years..." Darren murmured while gazing at Finley's disappearing

figure. He sighed. Finley really had excellent talent. According to the notes that Darren had, Finley had

reached the Holy Realm in his twenties. That meant the strength that Finley had in his original body

was even more powerful.

Remembering that fact, Darren realized once again that the martial artist path was an incredibly long

and difficult one. He had to admit that he still had a long way to go.

'So how exactly can I improve my talent? I will never kill human beings at will. As for the demonic

monster and beasts, they aren't exactly that useful in improving my talent. It's only useful when I kill

demonic monsters that had broken through to the Grand Realm.' Darren felt helpless, the pressure

starting to get to him.

He had the talent of the Assimilation Skill, but there was no one he could assimilate at the moment. He

was at a loss with what to do.

'Well... I can ask Aunt Diana. Maybe she knows where the really powerful demonic monsters are!' This belongs to - ©.

Darren realized that because Diana was a Holy Lord. She probably knew something.

As soon as he remembered it, Darren tried to sense Diana's current location and flew towards her.

In a quiet bamboo forest, Diana was drinking tea by herself in a small cabin built entirely of bamboo.

"Aunt Diana," Darren called as he landed beside her.

Diana greeted him back by nodding her head slightly. With a warm smile, she said to Darren, "It's good

to see you, Darren. Please have a seat."

"Aunt Diana, I came here to ask you a question. Do you know a place where I could find powerful

demonic monsters? It will be best if they are demonic monsters that are at the primary stage of the

Grand Realm." Darren put forward his straight to the point.

"Why do you ask such a question?"

Darren sheepishly rubbed the back of his neck. "Heh heh... It's a long story, but it's extremely

necessary for me to find some powerful demonic monsters."

"Boy, you seem to have a secret!" The Holy Lord laughed and said, "Besides the demonic monsters in

the demonic monster domain, powerful demonic monsters can only be found in the Heavenly Serene

Graveyard. It is said that the demonic monsters there are incredibly powerful. If super cultivators hadn't

suppressed them thousands of years ago, the whole eastern land as we know it would not have

existed. You have to be very careful when you go there."

"I see. You really are knowledgeable! Thank you so much, Aunt Diana!" Darren was overjoyed by the

information. He was just about to leave when the Holy Lord suddenly called out, "Wait!" Diana looked at

him with a gloomy face. "There's actually one thing I didn't tell you previously. I was reluctant to tell you

a while ago, but I think I should let you know about it because I know you deeply care about your

sister."

Darren's whole body tensed up and his face went rigid at once. He had already guessed that what

Diana was trying to tell him had something to do with the fact that his sister had been captured.
