Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 313 The Real Reason (Part One)

"He did that to obtain the blade core and the sword core from my master!" The older man gaveDarren the reason with a horror-struck expression on his face.

"To obtain the blade core and the sword core? But why did he do that? He didn't seem to needthose cores, did he? Plus, even if he needs the blade core and the sword core, he can obtain themfrom other blade and sword cultivators. Why did he kill his own brother?” Clouded by the turn ofevents, Darren still could not understand how Mathew afforded to kill Hanson.

"No, he can't! He can't just rob other cultivators of their blade core and sword core. As to what wehave learned, that bad guy, Mathew, has acquired some evil methods to make puppets with theblade and the sword cores from the same body. That kind of puppet is lifeless at first. It is nothingmore than just but a toy. Mathew was desperate to bring the vile creature to life, especially when hegot to know that the puppet could inherit its master's cultivation base. In short, the cultivator's spiritand power will be caught inside the puppet. Moreover, the puppet will not get the punishment ofnature because of the integrating of the blade intent and the sword intent.

If Mathew can make such a puppet successfully, he will own a powerful killing tool, and no one candefeat him," the older man explained to Darren, not missing a single point.

"That sounds kind of reasonable. Being bloodthirsty, he had the reason to kill Hanson if he hadlearned such an evil method," Grand Blood Refiner said calmly.

At that moment, Darren was almost convinced to believe the whole story. However, he always hadsuch a feeling that Mathew was not that kind of man.

"Is there anything we did not know about what really happened?” Darren asked himself in a lowvoice.

"That is the sole reason why Mathew killed Hanson! I have seen the cruel expression on his face andsensed the killing desire from him!"

"If that is true, why didn't he kill you?" Darren asked, looking for some holes in the story. All thistime, the older man could not convince him that Mathew was the bad guy in the story.

"I don't know. After Mathew killed my master, he merely imprisoned the three of us and let us sufferin here. At that time, we were only at the top level of the Mysterious Realm. He probably planned totorture us to death using the corrosive fog here.” As the older man was relaying that to Darren andGrand Blood Refiner, he cast a forlorn look and said, "The two other slaves have been dead forthousands of years, and only I have survived because of the magic item my master gave to me. Plus,my cultivation base has improved continuously over the years. That's why I am alive now.

Young man, what I told you is the truth. Don't try to replace the dead body of my master. Mathew, forsure, is just using you to fulfill his evil plans. You are also cultivating the blade skill and the swordskill at the same time. You should be cautious; otherwise, you will be killed by Mathew too." Theolder man gave Darren a piece of unsolicited advice with an excited expression

"Mr. Li, I got it. I will think about this matter carefully. And I won't do anything careless. Here, takethese spiritual herbs. You can use them to heal yourself," Darren said. Then he took more than tenthousand superior spiritual herbs from his Space Ring and handed them to the older man.

"Well. A person as useless as me does not deserve to live in this world anymore. Before I die,however, I am warning you that you cannot go and see Mathew. He must be alive and just lurkingsomewhere. He is merely cheating and using you by a small part of his soul!" Finishing off with hiswarning, the older man puked blood from his mouth. He broke his heart, channeling his innerstrength.

"No!" Darren was stunned and could not stop the older man's action of killing himself. After a while,he bowed to the dead body of the older man and said, "Sir, I wish you the best of luck. May you restin peace.”

"Darren, what are you going to do next?" Grand Blood Refiner asked, standing beside Darren.

"As for now, I will make things clear about what really happened between Mathew and Hanson.Anyway, thank you for your help, Sir. Otherwise, I would have been dead,” Darren replied while hewas cupping his hands towards Grand Blood Refiner and bowing to him, to show his gratitude.

"It is not a problem. Moreover, I will ask you a favor. Now that you are almost as powerful as I amand we are at the same level, don't call me sir. Just call me by my name,” Grand Blood Refiner said."No. I cannot do that. When it comes to our ages, I should respect you," Darren said.

"Haha! What a man of principles you are! In this world, the stronger one is always respected. Yourstrength now has been close to a grand warrior like me. I am flattered that you regarded me as yourfriend.” Grand Blood Refiner smiled bitterly. In his head, he had nothing but pure admiration andpraise for the young warrior.

"It is not a big deal for me. That is nothing compared to the help you have given me,” with asheepish smile, Darren uttered back. Then he went on saying, "As per the Primitive Stones you need,I will ask my friends for help after we get out of here. What they have will surely be enough to healyou."

"Nice. I am feeling bad as there is some force suppressing me slowly in Raksa Sea. So I will get outof here now. After you collect the Primitive Stones, you can summon me by activating the bead Igave you. When you do that I can sense it and will come to you as soon as possible. Thank you inadvance,” Grand Blood Refiner cupped his hands to Darren and said.

"Okay. I will summon you to take the Primitive Stones after I finish collecting them. But don't killinnocent people after you recover your strength. I am begging you," Darren said to Grand BloodRefiner with a serious look.
