Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 99 Waving Good-bye

Nobody knew who she was. What she just said brought confusion to everyone.

However, everyone was attracted by her graceful figure and pretty face. She was so beautiful youcould say she was on par with Elsa. Their beauty had their own merits, but both were equallystriking.

The moment she appeared, many disciples’ hearts thumped faster. They couldn't catch their breathsat the sight of her beautifully astonishing face.

The elders were shocked too. They didn't remember there was such a beautiful lady in the limenSect.

After a while, they vaguely remembered that she was the girl who came to llmen Sect years ago, theone who was injured.

"Yes. It must be her!" The elders looked at her more closely to confirm their speculations.

While the others tried to guess her identity, a sweet and pleasant voice spoke up, "My name isHailey Yao. I have been in the llmen Sect for years. I'm so sorry that I couldn't do anything when thesect was in danger.”

"Then why did you come out now?" Darren was a bit shocked as well when he saw her pretty face.He asked her as he recovered from his trance.

The girl walked towards Darren with a faint smile. "You killed the young master of the Blade HolyLand. I'm afraid IImen Sect would face destruction very soon. Since my shelter will be razed to theground, I am forced to leave. But I didn't mean to just stand around and watch Iimen Sect fall to theground. Please trust me."

"Ha-ha! You don't need to feel guilty. Since you're not a disciple of llmen Sect, it should be none ofyour business. Nobody will dare stop you. You can leave now," Darren said calmly.

Hailey nodded and handed an ancient book to Darren. "Read the book carefully. It speaks about theTalent Roll. I hope I see your name on the Talent Roll one day. You're truly a gifted talent. See you."With that, she sprang lightly and flew away with grace. Darren was astonished by the powerful vitalenergy emanating from her.

“She has obviously reached the Wonder Realm!" he thought.

The elders were shocked as well. Then a discussion began among them.

"She was heavily injured when she came to the llmen Sect and was taken in by our sect head. Sincethen, nobody has ever seen her again. It's remarkable that she has already reached the WonderRealm!"

"Yes. I remember her from several years ago, back then she was only a cultivator at the eighth stageof the Mysterious Realm. How could she improve in such speed? She must be a talent from someHoly Land."

But if she has reached the Wonder Realm, why did she say that she was unable to help us? Shedidn't look like she was lying. There must be an explanation.”

Darren didn't think about it too much. He put away the ancient book the girl gave him and turnedto the crowd.

"Everyone, we have to depart now. Otherwise, those guys from the Blade Holy Land would comeand attack us soon," he said with a serious look.

An elder announced with a melancholic look, "What Darren said is reasonable. You should departimmediately. When you get home, don't tell anyone that you have practiced cultivation in the llmenSect. You wouldn't want to get into any trouble. Understand?”

"Yes, sir!"

The llmen Sect disciples answered simultaneously.

Darren didn't want to say anything to the disciples of the School of Blade Skill, so he just let themgo.

In an instant, the joy of survival turned into the sadness of departure. Many disciples who hadcultivated together in the sect for many years hugged one another, exchanging goodbyes. In theend, all the disciples of different schools kowtowed to the elders before leaving, they couldn't helpbut burst into tears.

"Well, we are lucky enough to have survived. Maybe we'll meet again one day. You can leave now,"an elder said with a sigh. They were about to leave the place where they spent most of their lives.Looking at the devastated land one last time, they couldn't hold in their emotions.

"Everyone, please wait for a moment!"

Darren shouted as the disciples were about to leave. Everyone stopped and looked at him.

"Oh, we forgot to thank Darren!"

"Yeah! Without Darren, we would probably be dead! We are in such a hurry that we forgot about it.""Let us give our thanks to Darren!”

someone proposed. All the disciples knelt down and kowtowed to Darren. "Darren, thank you forsaving our lives!" they all said sincerely.

"You're welcome! Please get up,” Darren immediately said.

"Darren, you deserve our thanks. We couldn't have survived without your help.”

With that, the elders bent their knees and kowtowed to Darren with sincerity.

Darren held up the elders in a hurry and said, "I am merely a junior in front of you. I do not deserveto be thanked like that."

Then he knelt down too and kowtowed towards the square. "We owe our lives to the two seniors,”he said.

The other disciples thought the same way, so they all kowtowed towards the square and mournedsilently.

After that, Darren conjured a pile of superior spiritual herbs in front of the crowd.

"Wow! Are those the superior spiritual herbs?” Everyone was shocked, as they had never seen somany superior spiritual herbs before.

Darren nodded and said, "My friends, we are going to part soon. I have nothing else, but somesuperior spiritual herbs for you. Each of you can take ten of them and use them to help yourselves.”Now there were still more than a thousand disciples who hadn't left yet, so that meant over tenthousand superior spiritual herbs would be taken away. Everyone gasped as they realized how manysuperior spiritual herbs Darren would have to spend.

Although the disciples knew that the superior spiritual herbs were precious, none of them rushedforward to take them.

"Darren, you're the peerless talent. These spiritual herbs will be more useful to you than to us. Youhave done us a great kindness by saving our lives. How can we accept your spiritual herbs?"

"He is right. Darren, we can't take them from you. You should keep them for yourself,"

a disciple said. They longed for these spiritual herbs and they needed them too. However, theypreferred that Darren keep them knowing that the herbs could do more to him than to them.

"Just take them. I know you need them. Anyone who refuses to take them despises me," Darren saidseriously.

Everyone was so moved by Darren's generosity. Some of them felt intense guilt remembering thatthey once looked down upon him and cursed him

"How could I treat Darren that way? I was so stupid!’ some of the disciples thought.

Under Darren's persuasion, all the disciples finally lined up and took ten superior spiritual herbseach. They thanked Darren profusely before leaving in small groups.

After a while, Clark and Ezra waved good-bye to Darren and then flew away.

The ruined square was empty. When a gust of cold wind blew, it looked more bleak.

"Darren, where are you going?" Thomas asked, staring sadly into the distance.

"First, I have to go and look for Elsa. I still have many things to accomplish. Why not come with me?I know you're worried about Elsa.”

With a long sigh, Thomas waved his hand. "I won't go with you. I'm sure that you would replace her,"he answered.

Darren was about to ask why Thomas didn't want to replace Elsa with him but Thomas signaled him tostop. Then Thomas continued, "Darren, I could tell that you treat Elsa better than anyone else. Asher father, I'm truly happy for her. Young people should go out and see the world for themselves.When you replace Elsa, please tell her that I have returned to my hometown. I will be very happy to seeyou both come back and visit me in the future”

Thomas tried to hide his sadness, but tears streamed down his cheeks.

"We will definitely visit you," Darren said. He knew that Thomas must have had his reasons to not gowith him. Since he didn't want to talk about it, Darren didn't ask further. He continued, "ElderThomas, please take care of yourself."

Thomas nodded and looked back at Darren. "Please take good care of Elsa. I hope you two replacehappiness and never part."

With that, Thomas turned to leave.

"Take care, father!" Darren shouted behind Thomas, hoping to assure him more with the word"father".

Thomas trembled, tears streaming down his cheeks. He murmured, "I'm relieved. My daughterwould be very happy. Thank you, Darren.”

Then he strode forward and disappeared in the distance.
