Chapter 442 The Old Man In Red (Part Two)

After a period of flight, he landed in the palaces of the Violet Phoenix Sect. The same familiar viewgreeted his eyes, and the same comfortable scent lingered through his nostrils. However, there wassomething unusual with the ambiance of the palace. Darren wondered what might be wrong, butdismissed the idea shortly.

"Stop! Who are you?" snapped a disciple of the Violet Phoenix Sect the moment he saw Darren."Go and tell your sect leader that Darren has something important to tell him,” facing the disciple,Darren said calmly.

"Ah, you are Darren!" The disciple obviously had heard of Darren's name before. Inmediately, hehad a change of expression and treated Darren with respect. Bowing down, he said, "Sir, just wait amoment, please! I will inform the leaders of your arrival.”

Leaving Darren behind, the disciple scampered quickly into the hall. Soon enough, a figure dartedover and welcomed Darren.

"l am surprised to see you here, Darren! I am so glad to see you well and safe!"

It was Elder Herman. His face was beaming, and he was sincerely happy to see the young warrior.Amidst their exchange of greetings, he recalled that day when the twenty three-star grand warriorswithdrew. All of them were severely injured, almost to death. Later, many elders told him thatDarren and his other pals rescued them.

"Elder Herman. Can you take me to see your sect leader?" Darren explained the reason for his visitand asked the elder if he could help him out.

"You want to see Master Jacob?" Elder Herman hesitated for a while and said, "Come along withme!"

Judging from the expression on the elder's face, Darren felt something was not right, but he did notask Elder Herman right away.

Soon, the elder took Darren to the main hall, but to Darren's dismay, Jacob was not at the hall.Instead, on the seat of power, there sat an old man in a red robe.

"Sir, this is Darren. He wants to see the sect leader.” Elder Herman introduced Darren to the man ina red robe, bowing his head in reverence.

The old man shifted his gaze towards Darren, shook his head, and slowly said, "I'm afraid we can'tgive you the pleasure of doing that. After the battle, the sect leader and the other grand warriorsare all severely injured, still needing a long time to heal. They can't be interrupted at the moment.So, you will have to wait at least three months before you can see the sect leader.”

Realizing the situation, Darren's brow wrinkled over the man’s thorny reasons.

"Well, it seems that I have to say goodbye if that's the case.” Now that the man in a red robe madeit clear that it was impossible to ask the three-star grand warriors to help him, Darren assumed thatthere was no need for him to stay.

"Wait, Darren! What's with the rush of leaving? You just arrived here. May I know how you escapedfrom the Heavenly Serene Graveyard, Darren?” the old man asked as he walked a few steps towardsDarren.

"Um?" Intrigued by the man’s behavior, Darren didn't give a straightforward answer. Moreover, hecouldn't grasp the old man's point.

"Don’t get me wrong. I am just curious. Could you tell me the details, please?" the old man saidhonestly.

As the grand warriors who had fled back from the Heavenly Serene Graveyard told the old manwhat happened in the battle, he was greatly puzzled about how Darren could have successfullyescaped in such a dangerous condition

Much more than that, it was Cain, a five-star grand demonic monster who knew powerful monsterskills that they had faced!

Even twenty three-star grand warriors could not resist him. How could a few young people,including Darren, escape?

"It is a long story. We could not have escaped without the help of the masters that Abelard andTimothy asked,” Darren said briefly, not giving in-depth details of the story.

"That makes sense! If they asked two strong masters to help you, surely you could escape.

What happened to Cain, the grand demonic monster?"

asked the old man, with a confident expression.

"Cain has been killed by Abelard's master,” replied Darren, abruptly showing no interest in theconversation nor on the man in the red robe.

"Sure enough! Thanks to him," the old man in red said, with a nod of approval

He also knew that Abelard's master was powerful. Even the ordinary people of the Sacred Palacewould act polite and respectful before him. Thus, as Darren said that it was Abelard’'s master whohad killed Cain, the old man didn't give doubt and asked no further.

"Sir, if you have nothing else to ask, I will have to leave.” Darren nodded to the old man and to ElderHerman as well and was about to go away.

"Hey, Darren, you must have something important reasons for coming here. The sect leader ishealing now, so you can't see him. It would be rude of me to put your traveling in vain. You might aswell tell me. Maybe I can help you!" the old man in red said with a smile.

Hearing that, Darren thought that the old man was just showing his kindness. However, ElderHerman looked pleased and immediately said, "Darren, this is the guard of our sect, and he is a rulecultivator! He is willing to help you, and you might as well tell him."

Hesitant and confused as to what to do at the moment, a sudden surge of memories raced atDarren's head. It was at the square of the Violet Phoenix Sect, and he did his best to unleash thedark gold internal force. At that time, he was resisted by a burst of active runes so that he could notkill those who were rude to him. Obviously, the one who had stopped the fight at that moment wasthis old man in the red robe.
