CHAPTER 389 RECRUIT POWERFUL CULTIVATORS
"Get out of here! Quick!" the man shouted as he swept his sword intent near the crowds' feet, trying to
force them to leave.
He struggled as blood oozed out from the wounds on his body.
"This…" The people glanced at one another, perplexed. No one knew what was going on.
They then found out that the man was a martial artist at the Wonder Realm.
In ordinary martial artists' eyes, a martial artist who had reached the Wonder Realm was incredibly
powerful. So, they were frozen in place, completely dumbfounded from being shouted at by such a
powerful martial artist.
"What's wrong?" Darren asked as he stepped forward.
"Hurry! You must leave now!" the man anxiously said, prominent lines forming between his eyebrows.
Darren found it very hard to get any information from the man, so he just released his spiritual sense.
He sensed several beasts in the woods running towards their direction. And sure enough, they were
not weak.
"Oh, level six demonic monsters." A faint smile appeared on his lips.
"It's over. We're all done for. It's too late to leave now." The man let out a hopeless sigh as he saw that
the people still had not moved while the demonic monsters were getting closer and closer. He was
becoming desperate and the despair was written all over his face.
Suddenly, a loud noise was heard.
The hills shook under the stomping of the demonic monsters' feet.
A few moments later, several gigantic demonic monsters appeared in front of the people. They looked
like cattle with bodies as big as the hill behind them.
All the people present screamed in terror, "Powerful demonic monsters! Run!"
It was only then did they realize what the man was trying to tell them—run for their lives. They all knew
that it was too late to run away now. The man had reached the Wonder Realm, but he wasn't able to
defeat the monsters all on his own. Their chances of survival were very slim.
"You go on and leave. I will stay here and fight them. Run like your life depended on it!" The man was
determined to fight the demonic monsters alone by himself.
Darren then approached the man and lightly touched his shoulder. With a calm voice, he said, "Don't
worry. I can take care of this. Please stand back." He then pushed the man behind and stepped in front
of him.
The others watched the scene in bewilderment. Several of the low-level martial artists were even
shocked. "That young man is so rash! Why is he so willing to risk his life to fight the demonic
monsters?
Just look at the state of that martial artist at the Wonder Realm—he's bloodied and beaten! What could
a young man like him do?
While the people continued to speculate about Darren's abilities, the martial artist at the Wonder Realm
was still in shock. He felt strong and irresistible power emitting from Darren that made his low-level
sword core tremble.
The loud noise was approaching them at a steady speed.
The demonic monsters' eyes shone blood red as they marched towards Darren.
Darren swung his sword in one swift motion.
A few seconds later, the gigantic demonic monsters stopped moving.
"Let's go. They're finished." Darren turned around to look at the people without even glancing back at
the monsters.
"W-w... What happened? Why aren't the demonic monsters moving?" The people looked at Darren with
confusion written all over their faces—everyone was wondering the same thing.
Soon afterwards, blood dripped in buckets from the deep gashes that suddenly appeared on the
demonic monsters' bodies.
"T-that's... incredible..."
"He killed the demonic monsters with just a single move?"
All of the people were stunned. They were shocked to witness how powerful the young man in front of
them was. His cultivation base exceeded far beyond their expectations.
"Sir! Thank you so much for saving my life!" The martial artist covered in blood was the first to express
his gratitude.
"It was nothing. A piece of cake, really," Darren replied. He then took out several superior spiritual
herbs and handed them to the heavily injured martial artist. "Take these," he said. "They're good for
your injuries."
The man was already severely injured to the point of almost dying, but he had still been valiant enough
to save others. Darren thought highly of him, and so did not mind giving him several spiritual herbs.
"Thank you." That young man knew he was in desperate need of spiritual herbs to keep alive, so he
didn't refuse. He then got down on one knee to show his thanks.
"Don't mention it. By the way, what's your name? Why were the demonic monsters chasing after you?"
Darren was baffled as to why there were incredibly powerful demonic monsters in the ordinary wild.
"Sir, my name is Zebulon Chang, from the Sky Heart Sect. I came here to suppress the demonic
monster riot. I wasn't expecting there to be such powerful demonic monsters in this ordinary wild. I
wasn't able to kill the monsters that plagued the place. I feel ashamed." That man named Zebulon
Chang let out a sharp exasperated sigh.
"Is the riot that people have been mentioning recently referring to the demonic monster riot?" Darren
asked.
"Yes, it is," Zebulon confirmed. "Nobody knows why many powerful diabolic beasts ran away from the
Heavenly Serene Graveyard. Some demonic monsters that took off were powerful enough to
needlessly massacre people in the city. As a result, many people lost their lives. However, thanks to
several masters in the eastern land, the demonic monsters were suppressed. After several grand
demonic monsters were killed, the riot subsided a considerable amount. Although the masters are very
strong, they aren't powerful enough to completely eliminate them all, so disciples like me were tasked
to kill all the remaining dregs of the demonic monsters.
Sir, I mean no disrespect, but why don't you know about this? Are you not a local?"
"Yes, I've only been in the eastern land for a little while now, so I don't really know anything about it. Do
you happen to know where the Heavenly Serene Graveyard is?" Darren raised his eyebrows slightly,
somehow hopeful. exclusive content.
"I heard it's an extremely dangerous place. But that's all I know. I don't know where it is. I'm sorry, sir."
Zebulon respectfully lowered his head in apology.
Darren quickly waved his hand. "That's all right. It doesn't matter. Where's the nearest city? After taking
care of your wounds, please escort these people there." Darren pointed at the several people who
were on their knees.
"Okay, sir." Zebulon nodded his head in compliance.
"Thank you, sir! Thank you!"
The people who would be escorted by Zebulon expressed their gratitude towards Darren.
"I'll be leaving now. You, please be careful!" Darren said with a nod then flew into the distance.
After quite a long time of flying, Darren finally found a big city. He discreetly landed on an empty street
and walked along.
The air was cold. The street was messy and deserted aside from a corner where several people were
crowded together. They were all talking and pointing at something.
Darren got closer and saw a notice on the wall.
He read the text and his eyes sparkled with excitement. The notice was about the Heavenly Serene
Graveyard. He was quite interested in it.
"For months, demonic monsters had violated our land and killed numerous people. There is no atrocity
that we cannot bear if we are able to bear this.
The Governor is recruiting brave cultivators to march to the Heavenly Serene Graveyard. If you are
powerful, feel sympathy for our citizens, and are willing to kill the cruel demonic monsters, please come
to the Governor's Office three days into September. Once we eradicate the demonic monsters that
made our people suffer…"
Darren knew exactly what the notice was about. The Governor was recruiting powerful cultivators to kill
demonic monsters in the Heavenly Serene Graveyard. The candidate must at least have reached the
advanced stage of the Wonder Realm.
"The notice was targeting to summon reclusive cultivators who were living in seclusion, otherwise the
cultivation requirement wouldn't be so high."
Darren considered for a while before he made his decision. The recruitment was a great chance for him
to go to the Heavenly Serene Graveyard. He then tore off the notice from the wall without any
hesitation.
He got a few gasps and curious looks from the crowd. "That young man tore the notice! He must be
powerful!"
"He has reached the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm? Is that possible? How could that be
possible?"
The people began talking. They were surprised to see such a young man be interested in the notice.
Darren did not care whatsoever about the discussion. After a few moments of waiting, a small army of
soldiers arrived.
In the front row of the soldiers were a man and a woman. They wore dedicate clothes and looked to be
about twenty years old. The woman was quite beautiful, immediately grabbing the people's attention.
They scanned around to see who took the notice. Their faces immediately fell once they saw that
Darren was the one who was holding it. They sized him up with knitted brows.
"Do you know how to read, boy?" The young man glared at Darren, giving off an air of arrogance and
standoffishness.
"What? What do you mean?" Darren asked, eyebrows furrowed into an annoyed scowl.
"Read the notice carefully. The Governor's Office is recruiting masters at the advanced stage of the
Wonder Realm. You tore the notice. Did you do that to show your contempt for the Governor's Office?"
The young man's tone was starting to get aggressive.
"Seize him! He doesn't know how to behave properly!" the young man ordered at his soldiers before
Darren even said anything.
"Forget it, cousin. This young man may have come from a different place. He probably doesn't
understand the situation. We could let him go this time." The young woman had noticed that Darren's
clothes were different from the ones that people wore in the eastern land, prompting her to intercede
with her cousin for Darren.
"Humph! If everyone is as ignorant as him, what use are our notices for? I will punish him to warn
others. A beating can't be spared. Seize him at once!" The young man was not taking no for an answer.
