CHAPTER 392 GOING TO THE VIOLET PHOENIX SECT

"What do you mean? Did you refer to the warrior at the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm as a

cannon fodder? Were you talking about me? Who do you think you are?" the middle-aged man

bellowed at Darren.

Darren was dumbstruck. He had simply explained what he had observed. He hadn't intended to offend

the middle-aged man.

"I didn't mean that. Please forgive me if I upset you," Darren apologized with a pleasant countenance.

"Forgive you? How? I could never bear the sight of you, bastard. Don't pretend to be so arrogant before

me! Who are you?!" The middle-aged man didn't soften after Darren's apology. Instead, he seized the

opportunity to exaggerate matters.

"Don't go too far. I've already asked for forgiveness. However, if you insist on holding a grudge, you'd

better ensure that you can handle the consequences. Humph," Darren growled. Now that the middle-

aged man had provoked him, Darren wouldn't hold back.

"Well. You are courting death. Today, I will show you the power of a warrior at the advanced stage of

the Wonder Realm!" the middle-aged man shouted as he shot a palm attack at Darren.

"Kneel!" Darren commanded. The blade and sword intent around his body exploded like mighty torrents

to suppress the middle-aged man.

Promptly, the middle-aged man retreated. Frightened by the blade and sword intent, he almost fell to

his knees as Darren had commanded.

"Kneel!" Darren roared again. As he unleashed the bloodline force, the blade and sword intent's power

increased manifold.

This time, the bones and the meridians in the middle-aged man's legs broke. Thus, he couldn't

withstand Darren's formidable power and knelt. Sweat trickled down his forehead.

Since Darren directed the blade and sword intent only at the middle-aged man, the other people

weren't threatened by it, even though they could feel the strong power. Everyone was astonished by

Darren's real force. They could sense that he had only used less than one percent of his real strength.

They didn't know that Darren could defeat a grand warrior who didn't demonstrate the domain skill. In

fact, the power he had shown didn't rival one-tenth of one percent of his real power. The middle-aged

man was just at the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm, so he wasn't at par with a grand warrior.

"My lord, it's my fault. Don't kill me, please," the middle-aged man begged for Darren's mercy. Tears

pooled in his eyes when he realized Darren's might.

"Humph! Leave. You senseless bastard. Many grand warriors have died at my hands. Who do you

think you are?" Darren questioned as he removed the blade and sword intent from the middle-aged

man's body.

The middle-aged man had proven that he was an insignificant ant. Abrogating the meridians in his legs

was enough to placate Darren. Since he wouldn't recover from such injuries, Darren didn't feel that it

was necessary to kill him.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry. My lord, thank you for sparing my life," the middle-aged man said as he kowtowed

to Darren before fleeing in panic.

"My lord, please accept our respects,"

the onlookers said in unison. Having witnessed Darren's power, they were all dumbstruck. Immediately

after, they knelt to salute Darren.

Although astounded by his power, the other people had not expected that Darren had killed many

grand warriors. When they heard this, their shock deepened. The youth and the woman, in particular,

were stunned. They had never considered that they had offended someone who was well-matched with

a grand warrior a couple of days before. They felt lucky that they had survived.

"Everyone, please stand. You don't have to do that," Darren said as he sat down. Murmurs filled the air

as the people stood.

The Governor looked embarrassed. It seemed as though he wanted to say something to Darren, but he

didn't dare to.

"Governor, do you have something to say?" Darren questioned when he sensed the Governor's

awkwardness.

"My lord, the superior instructed me to bring two overmatches to meet them, but the lord... The man

has fled. Thus, it is the Governor's Office that fails to apply our full duty. I'm afraid I will be punished.

Alas," the Governor sighed with a shake of his head.

"You don't need to worry. Don't you think I should go alone rather than with that rubbish?" Darren

smiled.

"My lord, he is right. Considering his power, he is stronger than hundreds of warriors at the advanced

stage of the Wonder Realm. If you recommend him, you won't be punished. On the contrary, you will be

rewarded!" the assistant stated in excitement.

A smile danced on the Governor's lips as he considered what the adviser had said.

"That's right. My lord, from now on, I will rely on you. Thank you," the Governor said as he kowtowed to

express his gratitude to Darren.

The group intended to leave after staying in the Governor's Office for a few more days.

"Lord Darren, many overmatches will be present. I also heard that a competition would be held to test

whether candidates are eligible to enter the Heavenly Serene Graveyard. You must be careful," the

Governor advised.

"Don't worry about that. When shall we leave?" Darren inquired calmly.

"We should set out now. The Violet Phoenix Sect is three thousand miles from here. My lord, thank you

for your hard work," the Governor said.

"Well. Let's not waste time. Shall we leave?" Darren suggested. After asking the Governor to lead the

way, Darren flew toward the sky.

The division of forces in the eastern land was different from that of the southern land. The sects were

the main entities that ruled countless cities. However, the number of strong defenders in a city in the

eastern land was almost equal to the number of defenders in a nation in the southern land. In this way,

even the Governor was in the Wonder Realm.

Though his speed couldn't rival Darren's, three thousand miles was not a big deal for him.

As Darren had to follow the Governor, he deliberately flew slowly. After about six hours, he could see a

well-settled mountain on top of which were many temples. From a distance, the region seemed like a

wonderland.

At the moment, many figures flew toward the mountain from all directions.

There were more than hundreds of people beside Darren and the Governor.

"Ha-ha. Joshua, it appears that you haven't solicited two overmatches. Ha-ha,"

one of the men flying near Darren sneered at the Governor, whose name was Joshua.

"Humph. Ware, don't be difficult! The lord I invite is a peerless overmatch whom you have never met.

Choose your words carefully," Joshua reproached the man flying nearby.

"Don't brag. I will ensure that you are punished later. Humph," Ware, who was also a Governor of a city,

said provocatively.

"Ignore the boring man. We should focus on what we come here to do. Everything else is pointless,"

Darren said, coldly. Following his instructions, Joshua nodded and didn't say anything to Ware.

After a cordial reception by the disciples of the Violet Phoenix Sect, the figures landed on a vast

square. This belongs to - ©.

The area of the square, which was larger than that of the Lotus Holy Land, could hold about a million

people.

With his spiritual sense, Darren perceived that about a hundred thousand people were present. The

overmatches who had reached or exceeded the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm numbered at

twenty thousand. The rest were the men sent from different sides.

"Everything looks so grand. The cultural and historical background in the eastern land is equivalent to

that of the southern land," Darren sighed with amazement. Besides, among the hundred thousand

people, he sensed that there were about a hundred warriors equivalent to grand warriors.

On the other hand, since the Violet Phoenix Sect could convene so many overmatches, its power and

status must be quite high.

On the vast square, the overmatches beyond the advanced stage of the Wonder Realm were offered

seats, while the other ordinary martial artists could only stand around them. At present, they were

waiting for the important people from the Violet Phoenix Sect to appear.

Two hours passed. Joshua, who had accompanied Darren, as well as his daughter and his nephew,

appeared pale. Sweat beaded on their foreheads as they continued to wait.

Although standing for two hours or even a year was easy for an overmatch in the Wonder Realm, the

suppression released unconsciously by the numerous overmatches in the square repressed the

Wonder Realm-level martial artists.

"Joshua and you two, come sit here," Darren instructed when he noticed their discomfort. Fortunately,

there was an unoccupied seat next to his, which could be shared by two people. As the seats were

wide enough, Darren could share his seat with one of them as well.

"This... My lord, thank you for your kindness. But, we dare not sit," Joshua refused politely.

"It doesn't matter. The seat is vacant. Come sit with me," Darren instructed again.

In fact, Joshua was eager to take a seat. Thinking of Darren's power, he gave up his misgivings and sat

down with his daughter and his nephew. Joshua's daughter turned crimson as she shared Darren's

chair.

"Joshua, how dare you? How could you sit there?" the Governor called Ware, who had mocked Joshua

previously, exclaimed loud enough for everyone to hear.
