Chapter 504 Prepared The Sky Piercing Array (Part Two)

Hearing Nick's dilemma, Darren's eyes brightened in excitement. “Horace and Rocky have a similarcultivation base of rule cultivation with Nick. They might be able to help, * he thought.

"Horace, have you arrived?" Determined to have them sooner at the Violet Phoenix Sect, Darrensent a message through his spiritual sense.

"In a minute," replied Horace shortly.

"Nice. When you reach the palace, please don't tell them who you are. Maybe just tell them you aremy friends or some elders," the worried warrior suggested.

As a precautionary measure, Darren planned to conceal Horace's and Rocky's true identities. Thereason was that he wanted to avoid any unnecessary conflicts that might arise if others knew thatthey had been grand-elders from the Red Inferno Sect.

"I see. I understand, sir," replied Horace, who was on their way toward the Violet Phoenix Sect.After a little while, Horace and Rocky arrived at the hall. Their auras were felt the moment theylanded on the ground. Darren, Jacob, and Nick, all at once turned their heads towards them

After a few moments, however, Nick was convinced, and he went into the chamber following Horaceand Rocky.

Mindful that the whole truth was unknown to them and that what they had heard was just a pieceof the whole, both Darren and Jacob could not say anything about the matter—least judge theelders. All this time, as the argument commenced, both of them kept their silence and assumed thatthere was no need for them to replace out the truth.

"What? Was he Master Skull? Are you sure of that? That's impossible! Unbelievable even! He was sonice, how can he be a homicidal maniac!" Breaking the silence of the halls, Nick's roar came fromthe chamber. The uproar made Darren and Jacob turn their heads towards the direction of thechamber. Their curious minds made them lean their heads a little closer to have a more precisegrasp of the conversation.

To their disappointment, however, the voices were blocked by a rule power; others could noteavesdrop.

About an hour later, cutting short Jacob's and Darren's impatience, the elders came out from thechamber. An expression of extreme depression was stretched across Nick's face. It was apparentthat he had learned something unusual and bothersome.

"Nick, we've just told you the truth. Otherwise, we would not join in Red Inferno Sect if that didn'thappen. It was all because of him. However, he honestly considered you as his son, so he did nottorture you cruelly. Rocky, Louis, and I were just his tools. All this time, he lied to you that webetrayed him. We haven't told you the truth for all these years, because we did not want you to hatehim while you were under his rule. After all, he died a long time ago, so why don't we just let itpass?" Horace questioned, and he was hoping that Nick would understand the situation and forgivethem in his heart.

"Big brother, please stop it here. I get your point, and I don't want to talk about it anymore,” lookingat Horace's eyes, Nick replied.

"Good then, that would be fine with me. As you might have known, Rocky and I have becomeDarren's subordinates. We will not do anything evil. Let's work together to save those people in hisfriend's clan,” reckoned Horace, with a relieved smile spreading over his face.

This time, as they shifted their gaze towards Darren, Nick slightly nodded without saying anythingmore.

"Let's start to prepare the Sky Piercing Array. With your help, the power of the Sky Piercing Arraywill be greatly increased. Later, we can go there together and use it against the border mutants.Even if there were two four-star mutants, we would be able to defeat them," assured Nick with allhopes high.

"That would be great. Let's start then. Darren, please wait for six more hours.”

"Okay, I will do that. Thanks, elders,” With his hands cupped and his head bowed, Darren expressedhis gratefulness towards the elders. Reciprocating his gesture, Horace, Rocky, and Nick made aslight bow and then left to refine the crystal core of the Sky Piercing Array.
