Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 366 Punishment (Part Two)

The other cultivators behind the older man saw him kneeling in front of Darren. They were bothconfused and shocked, exclaiming, "Sir, what... what is happening to you?"

"Sir, it was the Holy Land that sent some people here and ordered your clan to be put underenslavement. If we didn't do as they asked us, they would ruin Doriath. We had to obey them anddared not go against their orders,” the older man vouched to Darren with his head dropped low. Hesensed the fearful aura of Darren, and his voice trembled as he spoke. All this time, he was tryingvery hard to suppress the trembling of his knees so it wouldn't be that obvious.

Hearing the words that came out from their leader's mouth, which signaled that he had yielded, therest of the cultivators felt uneasy as if they had no air to breathe.

The senior elder of the royal family, the cultivator at the Wonder Realm, should be and supposed tobe invincible. Yet, now he was calling Darren "sir" with utmost reverence. Much more was, he wasterribly frightened to the point that he got down on his knees to show his admiration to him! All thishad been out of their imagination.

"Is Bryan responsible for all these? Is he the one who made the orders?" showing his authority,Darren asked again. This time he took small steps forward and made his voice a little louder andfirmer.

"I haven't heard of the name that you've mentioned, Sir. What I merely know is that all of thosepeople were from the Blade Holy Land and they were all cultivators at the middle stage of theWonder Realm,” responded the still kneeling leader. This time his voice was more submissive."Humph! It doesn't matter. Actually, they were only some ants for me. To tell you the truth, I havekilled the Holy Lord of the Blade Holy Land,” with a seething tone, Darren sneered. His auracontained some blade intent and sword intent, which terrified them.

Upon hearing the words from Darren that he had killed the Holy Lord of the Blade Holy Land, acultivator at the Mysterious Realm behind the older man got such a fright that he passed out.

"I see what you mean, sir. I will ask the leader of our kingdom to release all the members of the ChuClan. To make amends, we will send them some gifts to atone for what we have done to the ChuClan," the older man said in a great panic. He intended to make Darren agree as fast as he could sothey could leave the place at once.

Walking back and forth, Darren, at that moment, was contemplating how to deal with the royalfamily of the Doriath. After all, they enslaved his clan under orders from the Holy Lord of the BladeHoly Land, who was killed by him.

The power of the royal family of Doriath was not that strong after all. Others forced all the cruel andunforgivable things they had done, so it was not a good idea to kill all of them. But if he let them gowithout any punishment, Darren felt it was unfair to the members of the Chu Clan who had beendead by now because of the evil deeds they inflicted.

After weighing things for a while, Darren turned his gaze to the members of the Chu Clan. The lookon their faces was a mixture of pride and relief. They felt proud of having Darren as their hero andcomfort for the hope that they would be freed from the bondage of slavery.

"So my beloved elders, brothers, and sisters, what do you think about it? How should we deal withroyal family members?" looking intently at their eyes, Darren asked their opinions. He was doing itfor them, after all. Right at that moment, it was them that mattered.

"Well..." The members of the Chu Clan were awakened from the great shock and looked at oneanother. Whispers and huddles could be heard among the clan.

"Don't be afraid. You can say anything in your mind boldly and openly. Sir, how about you make adecision?" motioning to the Chief Elder of the Chu Clan, Darren bowed while cupping his hands tohim.

The Chief Elder's heart raced wildly. He wasn't able to recover entirely from what he had justwitnessed. He found it unbelievable that even before Darren could do anything, the senior elder ofthe royal family got down on his knees in front of him. Much more than that, now Darren let himdecide on how to deal with members of the royal family. He could barely breathe now. It wasindeed true that Darren had become so powerful!

Hesitant at first, the Chief Elder stepped forward and said, “The members of the royal family ofDoriath were forced to do the wrong things to us. So it was not their fault at all. But they had beenruthless and harsh to the members of our Chu Clan, so they also should be punished. I suggest,among the members who had done bad things to our Chu Clan, the one with the highest positionshould be killed. Others who had severely treated us should be punished in other ways!"

the Chief Elder declared while calling up his courage. A pang of pain struck him when heremembered how the members of the Chu Clan had suffered under their maltreatments.

"All right then! That is what will happen. The leader of Doriath will be killed. As for others, I will asksomeone to identify them one by one and punish them according to what they have done. Do youaccept that?" with his brows raised in question, Darren asked the old cultivator whose knees werestill on the ground.

At that moment, the old cultivator's face went pale and sweaty. He kept his silence for a long while,and in the end, nodded his head with great difficulty.

"Piff! I don't accept that! How can you have the right to kill the leader of Doriath? Who do you thinkyou are?" At that moment, a cultivator at the Wonder Realm came forward and shouted to themembers of the Chu Clan. With that, he pulled out the Third Elder of the Chu Clan and strangledhim with his hand

"Hum! You break one arm by yourself quickly. Otherwise, I will kill this bad old guy!" warned thecultivator, taking the elder as a hostage. The cultivator of the Wonder Realm could see that Darrenattached much importance to the members of the Chu Clan. So he thought he could threatenDarren by seizing one elder.

"Puff!" With just a blow of his fingers, Darren blew an intent to that cultivator. The power containedsome ice sword intent, which left a slash on his neck. In a jiffy, the cultivator fell to the groundsuddenly with a desolate thud. His eyes were still opened, lifeless, and dull.

All the members of the Chu Clan felt relieved seeing what had happened, although they felt verynervous when the Third Elder was threatened. Yet their amazement overpowered the fear and reliefthey had felt right now. A mix of battling emotions was stirred upon each one of them. They were sograteful to have Darren on their side.

"We all accept your conditions, sir!" This time all the royal members echoed in chorus. They were allpaled and got down on their knees after witnessing what had happened. Their faces were almosttouching the ground in humble acknowledgment of Darren.

At that moment, all the members of the Chu Clan were thrilled and exasperated that some were intears. No words could be used for them to describe and express their gratitude to that formeryoung weakling and now their savior.
