Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 340 Making New Friends (Part Two)

Darren was about to give his consent when they saw several other supreme disciples of the Heavenly Palace Sect flying towards them. Soon after they approached their spot.

"Both of you are excellent warriors. That was really a wonderful fight between two martial masters. We admire you so much!" A disciple, who seemed to be the group leader, stepped forward and spoke to them with a bright grin.

"Why are you here? You have watched us for a long while. You think watching is not enough and want to join the fight?" Shane asked sarcastically in a stone cold tone, great irritation was evident from his voice.

"You misunderstood me, sir. We are the supreme disciples of the Heavenly Palace Sect. The fight between you and Darren was great! We know both of you are capable warriors, so we came to say “hello’ and make friends,” the leading disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect explained defensively. "You know me?" Darren asked in surprise as he heard the disciple mention his name.

"Whoever sees your powerful blade and sword intent will know who you are. Your skills are famous. Besides, we have heard about you for numerous times as our elders like to talk about your accomplishments before us. Are you interested in going with us to the Heavenly Palace Sect and spending a couple of days there?" the leading disciple invited as he smiled at him

"Not now. I'd like to have some drink. Why not we find a nice restaurant to wine and dine?" Darren suggested instead.

"That's fantastic. We all listen to you.”

"Let's go to wine and dine!"

Shane and the other disciples of the Heavenly Palace Sect nodded in unison.

Darren and his new companions found a restaurant and drank to their hearts’ content. They consumed as much as their stomachs allowed. Several strangers met because of a series of incidents and thus became good friends.

"Listen to me, everybody. I must leave now as I have something to deal with tomorrow.” After several rounds of toast, Darren expressed his intention of leaving. Since he was going to fight with Bryan, he must get fully prepared tonight.

"It is rumored that you're going to kill a Holy Lord, Darren. Your fight will be carried out tomorrow, right?” one of the disciples of the Heavenly Palace Sect asked curiously.

Tidings about Darren's challenge against the Blade Holy Lord was widely spread in various sects in the southern land. So it was not strange that the disciples of the Heavenly Palace Sect heard about it as well.

"Yes. That bastard destroyed the Lotus Holy Land. I must avenge them. The debt must be paid by blood!" Darren said with clenched teeth, his eyes fired with vengeful wrath.

"Darren, I've heard that a two-star grand warrior helped when the Holy Lord of the Blade Holy Land led his men to attack the Lotus Holy Land. I'm afraid...” The leading disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect hesitated and stopped speaking all of a sudden.

"There's no need to be afraid, Darren. I'll go with you tomorrow, and with all my people in support of you. The two-star grand warrior is nothing but a piece of shit. I'll tear the grand warrior into pieces if that person dares hurt you!" Shane gave the table a heavy slap and roared furiously. His eye set with deep determination.

"Shane is determined to help you, Darren. So are we! As friends, we cannot see you risk your life without offering some assistance. We'll ask some advanced warriors to go with us and help you. Even if we are not allowed to kill the Holy Lord of the Blade Holy Land because of the rules of our sect, I guarantee that the two-star grand warrior would never dare lay a finger on you!" another disciple of the Heavenly Palace Sect. expressed, willing to send all the help they could provide. "Thank you for all your good intention. But it's unnecessary. You know, I'm not one to be trifled with. If the mysterious two-star grand warrior dares challenge me, I'll fight back without mercy!" Darren uttered, his tone cold as ice.

Everybody else understood that Darren must have helpers in secret as well, who must be as powerful as equivalents for a two-star grand warrior.

"Darren, you have to be careful even if you're well prepared. No matter what you say, I'll go with my men tomorrow as I said. If you can deal with the situation, we'll never meddle with your affairs. We just stand by to watch. With more people on your side, your enemies will undoubtedly feel more pressed by your imposing manner. And you will have more confidence. So please don't say no to me. You'll despise me if you do so."

"Shane is right. Let's go together tomorrow. You are going to fight at the Lotus Holy Land, right?" Darren flashed a smile of helplessness at everyone's persistence to offer their help, and replied, "All right. Since all of you want to go with me, I shall not refuse your assistance. The fight will be conducted at the Lotus Holy Land tomorrow. I'll wait for you there.”

They discussed for a while to go through the arrangements for tomorrow. Darren was the first one to leave. On his way back, with the help of the beads that they gave him, he informed Chad, the Grand Blood Refiner and other grand warriors and asked them to help.

"I wonder how the Grand Blood Refiner has recovered,” murmured Darren to himself. He had given all the remaining Primitive Stones containing the Life Rule to the Grand Blood Refiner since the day he came back from the Talent City. Those stones might have helped him a lot in healing his injuries. Aside from the warriors brought by the disciples of the Heavenly Palace Sect and Shane, Darren would have several grand warriors in support of him. With these excellent warriors on his side, he was not afraid of the mysterious two-star grand warrior at all. Odds were looking great in his favor. But the Water Kylin's absurd plan to get completely transformed had indeed caused him a little problem. It was certain that the stupid beast could not come to join him for that reason. With the help of the Water Kylin, Darren would not hesitate to kill the two-star grand warrior.

Darren sped up towards the Lotus Holy Land at a fleeting speed as soon as he had informed all the grand warriors.

On his way towards his destination, however, a shadow suddenly appeared in front of Darren and blocked him from advancing any inch forward. Since the figure stood with his back against Darren, he had no idea who the person was.

Meanwhile, disturbing noises filled Darren's ears.

Darren realized the person standing in front of him was the cause of the noise, as he could clearly sense an impressing might aura from the latter. The person seemed much more powerful than Shane in the level of martial arts. Darren even felt that this person was even stronger than Chad and other grand warriors.
