CHAPTER 441 THE OLD MAN IN RED (PART ONE)

Finally, all the long wait had come to an end. All the necessary things that he had done to rescue

Abelard had paid off. Now, standing and waiting outside the Purgatorial Tripod, the old man was very

excited to see Abelard. He had never expected that his disciple would survive and come out alive of the

Purgatorial Tripod.

At that surreal moment of celebration, Abelard gave a brief account of what had happened inside the

Purgatorial Tripod to his master. Alternate expressions of fury, amazement, and sympathy for the group

were shown on his face as he listened to Abelard's story. Yet, as the day lengthened and welcomed the

night, everyone was ready to leave.

Before they left, Abelard's master thanked Darren for saving his disciple and insisted on leaving a

saber as a gift of gratitude. After this, the grateful master took Abelard back to their sect. Seconds

before parting their ways, Abelard left a contact bead to Darren. The bead was almost identical to the

bead given to him by the Grand Blood Refiner before.

Darren appreciated the saber from the master and the contact bead from Abelard. However, he wasn't

able to check them carefully and just put them into his Space Ring.

At the same instant, Hailey, who had no plans of leaving and would love to stay a little longer with

Darren, was obliged to say goodbye. She had something important to do, so she also went. Meanwhile,

Timothy was in no hurry. He was at peace and not pressured to go home, for he had already used an

arcane skill to send a message to his clan—news that he survived and was still alive.

"Where are you going next, Darren?" Timothy asked in a casual tone.

Entertaining the same question in mind, Darren looked into the distance. After a moment of pondering,

he said pensively, "I'm going to save my sister. This was actually my original purpose of coming to the

eastern land."

"Your sister? What's wrong with her?" Surprised at the thought that Darren had a sister that needed

rescuing, Timothy asked, frowning.

"She was caught by the Red Inferno Sect. I had no idea how she is going now." Narrating her sister's

fate to Timothy, Darren was a bit worried. Although Holy Lord Diana had assured him that the Red

Inferno Sect caught his sister because she had the Primitive Feminine Bloodline, and they would not

probably kill her. Yet, as Darren saw it, she still could not avoid some suffering. exclusive content.

"As far as I know, the Red Inferno Sect ranked number one among the three evil sects in the eastern

land. All the factions of justice are helpless in dealing with them, and it would be an arduous and

challenging task to save your sister.

How about this, Darren? You just wait in the eastern land, and I will go back to my clan and ask some

of the strongest masters to help you out," suggested Timothy, with his eyes full of hope as he laid out

the plan with Darren. As his friend, grateful for saving him, Timothy was willing to do everything to help

Darren in saving his sister.

"There will be no need for that, Timothy! I have my way." With a high regard for Timothy, Darren

rejected his proposal. The refusal was not because he didn't want help, but because he could not

afford any delay that would postpone his plan further.

"What are you going to do, then? There are numerous strong martial artists and evil sorcerers in the

Red Inferno Sect. It is very dangerous for you to take action by yourself. Saving your sister alone is like

dicing with death," with paled face and worried expression, Timothy warned Darren with sobriety.

"Timothy, you must understand that it will take a long time for you to bring someone back. I can't wait

any longer. It's my sister's life that's on the line," said Darren with his hands resting on Timothy's

shoulder. He was grateful for his friend's show of concern, yet he simply could not afford any delay as

of the moment.

Inside Darren's head, he had weighed things over and had the following reasons why he rejected

Timothy's help. First, the way from the eastern land to the Western Desert Island was quite far and

long. Second, although Timothy was the young master of his clan, it was still not easy for him to ask a

few three-star grand warriors to help someone who was not their member. Darren knew Timothy's clan

was a big one, and among members of the likes of such powerful kin, they always intrigued against

each other and scrambled for supremacy. As an aftermath, Timothy would undoubtedly encounter a lot

of resistance.

"I have an idea. Remember that you saved the lives of twenty three-star grand warriors? That means

they all owe you a big favor. If you go to the Violet Phoenix Sect to visit Master Jacob and ask him to

order those three-star grand warriors to help you, I think they will certainly not refuse.

As for me, I am going home to summon masters just in case. How about this plan, Darren?" suggested

Timothy, thinking that he had a better idea this time that would make Darren say yes.

Hearing Timothy out, Darren was silent for a moment. He sensed that Timothy was right after all. In the

wake of moments of hesitation, Darren agreed to the plan.

"Alright then! I will go back home first. Take care of yourself!" Timothy bid goodbye.

"You too!" Darren replied shortly.

With that, Timothy nodded and flew away.

After Timothy left, Darren had a moment of silence to himself. He thought about his sister and what

could have been her situation right now. Though he knew that she was such a strong woman, yet deep

inside him, there was a subtle sense that she needed his brother. With that thought in mind, Darren

was encouraged not to waste any time, and he flew out of the border towards the Violet Phoenix Sect

abruptly.
