Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 218 The Stealth (Part Two)

Although he had eagerly sought signs of sword intent and should have been overjoyed by hisdiscovery, surprise reflected in Darren's expression.

A prisoner like Elder Thomas should be held in some nasty and sordid jail instead of in such aluxurious and spectacular palace.

Although confused, he hurried toward the palace. After all, this was the only sword intent thatDarren had detected so far.

The palace was bigger than he expected. After passing through several rooms, Darren finally locatedthe area where the sword intent had originated.

However, just as he was about to push the door open, a lewd, prurient chuckle was heard from theroom.

Before he could react, the bed began to squeak, and the sound of heavy breathing seeped into thehall where Darren stood.

'I have come at an awkward time!" Darren instinctively drew back the hand he had stretched forwardto open the door.

After a little while, a man spoke. "My Lady, I am exhausted. Can I take a little break?"

“Madam?’ Darren couldn't help but wonder about the identities of the people inside the room. Itseemed to him that a disciple was having an illicit affair with an elder's wife. Darren knew that theman was a young disciple by his voice. Hesitation coursed through Darren as he wondered whetherhe should leave or stay and listen to their conversation to figure out their identities. Before Darrenreached a decision, the young man finished making love to the woman. The wobbling sound of thebed had ceased, and silence filled the hall.

Darren felt that this man had nothing to do with Elder Thomas, and so, it was best not to waste histime.

However, before he could turn and leave, Darren heard the man ask the woman, "My Lady, betweenthe Holy Lord and I, who gives you more pleasure?”

"You do, of course. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been captivated by you, my sweetheart!" The womanspoke at last.

The obscene remark astonished Darren.

He was surprised to discover that the woman was none other than the wife of the Blade Holy Land'sHoly Lord. He had learned long ago that the Holy Lord's son was a vicious and heartless asshole. Hedidn't expect that his wife would also lack honor and integrity.

'If she is the Holy Lord's wife, she might know about Elder Thomas' whereabouts. I might as well usethe secret of her disgraceful relationship to force information out of her.’ A sly smile formed onDarren's lips. He knew that the woman and the disciple would not want the Holy Lord to learn abouttheir affair. After all, such a high-ranked and powerful cultivator would never accept suchhumiliation. The Holy Lord would be infuriated and vent his anger on his wife.

After assessing the situation, Darren felt that this might be an excellent opportunity to learn whereElder Thomas was being held.

Upon deciding, Darren released his blade intent and kicked open the door. In the next instant, heentered the room with a furious expression.

To Darren's surprise, the man shrieked in terror while the woman remained calm and composed."How dare you break into my room? Who do you think you are?" the woman barked in a highpitched voice.

She was a beautiful woman with soft and silky skin. At Darren's intrusion, apart from feelingembarrassed, she was indignant and furious.

Darren was taken aback. As he studied the woman's sexy and curvaceous form, his cheeks flushed.She was, indeed, attractive enough to captivate any man.

She got off the bed and pulled the blanket over her body in one swift movement. Then, she glaredat Darren.

"How dare you do such a shameful thing behind the Holy Lord's back? I bet this is not your firsttime. What do you think will happen to you if I tell him?" After she had her body covered with theblanket, Darren proceeded with his plan to blackmail her.

"Who are you?" the woman asked unexpectedly. Darren's words did not seem to frighten her.Although surprised and uncertain, Darren continued, "My identity is not important. I wantinformation, and you want to keep your affair a secret, right? If you can give me the information Ineed, you can rest assured that I won't speak out.” Darren started to negotiate. However, to hissurprise, the woman burst into laughter. "You want to threaten me? You are in no position to dothat!" she shouted.

Concerned that the woman intended to attack him, Darren became vigilant. However, once again,she did something beyond his expectations. With a sly smile, she stretched her hands. In the nextminute, she walloped the man she had just had sex with to death.

Not only was Darren baffled by her behavior, but he was also astounded by the skill she had justdemonstrated. She was clearly someone who ranked high in terms of strength. Darren perceivedthat the woman must be at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm.

The woman smiled contemptuously when she saw Darren's bewildered expression. "One man whoknew my secret is now dead. Do you think I will allow you to leave this room unharmed?” shethreatened, thinking that Darren was just an ordinary, weak guy.

Contrary to her expectations, Darren was not one to be frightened by such a trivial threat. "You arewelcome to try and stop me," Darren replied. Darren then released his blade and sword intent. Inthe blink of an eye, a blazing aura emanated from Darren and filled the room.

Having reached such a high realm, the woman was experienced enough to sense that Darren'sstrength was no lower than that of a cultivator at the middle stage of the Wonder Realm. Now, itwas the woman's turn to be astonished. Given the situation, she could no longer continue with herplan to kill Darren. She knew that once they started fighting, they would alert the others, and hersecret would be revealed. The situation was not in her favor. However, Darren was an outsider, whohad snuck into the palace. He would not want to be discovered either. Since there was still a way tosave herself, the woman began to bargain

"You have sword intent in you. That means that you are not a disciple of the Blade Holy Land. Whyhave you snuck into the palace at this hour at night?" she questioned, vivid antagonism laced hervoice.

Darren smiled when he realized that she was ready to concede. "I already told you. I needinformation, and you need to keep a secret. If you don't think this is a fair deal, you can go aheadand see if you have the capability to stop me," Darren said as he glared at the woman.
