Talented Martial Hero
Chapter 513 Reunion (Part One)

After the discussion, they all agreed that it was best if Darren escaped first, all on his own. The idea was that he would sneak out quietly and then go looking for help from other capable human cultivators.

It was difficult to deal with the purple mutant, after all.

By this point, the warriors from the Shaoyan Clan had recovered to a large extent. Now they were already able to protect themselves and slay their enemies. As long as they weren't attacked by a large amount of mutants that were at the top level of three-stars or at the level of four-stars, they would feel no difficulty in fending the enemies off. They would be fine and it wasn't an issue if they were left alone there without Darren's protection.

Therefore, Darren agreed to the plan and made the decision to leave. Determined, he walked in a straight line towards the periphery of the stone castle. To get there he used the help of the Air- integrated True Rule.

Black mutants could be found at every corner of each palace. Their job was to guard the whole place with great vigilance in order to catch anyone who dared to sneak past them, or at least dared to attempt such a feat. However, despite their watchfulness, not a single one of them was able to notice Darren.

Darren decided to check the intention of the purple mutant before he snuck away towards the edge of the island. If the purple mutant intended to leave and lessen his guard here, then everything would be a lot easier for them to handle. In that case, they could rally all the strong warriors and launch a surprise attack to eliminate all the black mutant creatures here.

Slowly, with quiet steps, Darren walked to the center of the hall. To his annoyance, the purple mutant was still there. He was dining and drinking to his heart's content. Unfortunately, that meant he wasn't showing a single sign of leaving any time soon.

"How many of those abject humans are here?” asked the purple mutant in a lazy manner, seemingly completely unbothered.

On the contrary, it looked like he was enjoying the fact that he got to spend his time here and keep an eye on his prey.

"More than one hundred, my lord. Over forty of them are three-star grand warriors, and there are several capable human rule cultivators among them. I think it's time for us to take action. But we still need to be cautious,” the black mutant, who had hair that had turned a bit grey, responded immediately, trying to give some advice.

"Take action? No, not yet. We don't have to be in such a hurry. There are still some excellent warriors on their way,” uttered the purple mutant with a wicked voice. It seemed like he was talking more to himself than to his counterpart.

But really, he was quite patient. His plan was to bait the majority of excellent human warriors in the Bottom Spiritual World by holding hostages from the Shaoyan Clan. Once all the human warriors came here to rescue those Shaoyan guys, he could slaughter them altogether. It was a fairly simple plan, but one that would surely prove to be highly effective.

"I'm afraid, my lord, that there might be some powerful warriors like you lurking in the human race. What should we do if those powerful warriors come?" asked the old black mutant in a worried voice, a shudder rocking his body.

"Powerful warriors in the human race?" hummed the purple mutant with an amused voice. With his eyes still closed, he seemed completely unbothered for a few seconds. Then, all of a sudden, he opened his eyes and whipped his head around. Clearly irritated, he cast a furious look at the old black mutant by his side and continued, "Who do you think is equal to me in the human race? I can eliminate every single human out there. Not even that, I could do it with just one of my hands!" "Yes, of course, my lord. I know you're invincible in every aspect and have no match under this heaven. It is said, however, that there is a five-star human grand warrior in the Lotus Holy Land. But he is, of course, by no means a match for you, lord!" The old black mutant didn't dare to caution his master again. Trying to be helpful, he nevertheless reported what he had heard. Only that he made sure to say everything in the most flattering way he could think of.

"A five-star grand warrior?" The purple mutant cocked his head to the side, his interest piqued upon hearing those words.

"Yes, we have sent spies into the human race long ago. According to the news from them, there is a five-star grand warrior guarding the Lotus Holy Land in the southern land. But he rarely leaves the Holy Land. He even watched the slaughter happen in the Lotus Holy Land. The Holy Lord of the Lotus Holy Land was defeated and he didn't offer any assistance, not then and not when humans were killing each other. It is obvious that he must be under some kind of restriction that holds him back. So he might not even get the chance to come here and cause trouble, either.”

Darren furrowed his brows as he was listening to the conversation between the two mutants. It seemed like the mutants had infiltrated the human race very effectively and now knew a lot about them.

Indeed, Darren knew what the old black mutant had said was the truth, as he had actually seen the five-star grand warrior in the Lotus Holy Land. He was an elderly cultivator with excellent skills.

"I agree.” The purple mutant finally nodded his head. There was a short pause. When he spoke again, he changed the topic to another warrior. "I've heard that there is a powerful cultivator in the Talent City in the North Desert. Do you guys know anything about him?"

"Well..." The old black mutant hesitated slightly, the trepidation clearly etched onto his face, before he continued, "It's weird that such a powerful warrior exists in a world much inferior to the level of his ability. Besides, the warrior has so much strength that his ability has surpassed the range we are able to detect.”

"I've known about that already. Since it is impossible for us to detect him, you can simply ignore him. Maybe all there is to him is just a very creative story. Even if he truly exists there in the Talent City in the North Desert, he is nothing compared to our king. When the king returns, he can kill that legendary warrior easily. It would be like trampling an ant to death,” said the purple mutant in a flat voice, clearly not impressed.

"Our great king has divine power, and he can subdue and slaughter everything and everyone as he wishes." This time, when the old black mutant responded, he didn't resort to flattery at all. What he had said was true. He was simply expressing his respect and admiration towards their king sincerely. Darren had almost run out of the time he had for using the Air-integrated True Rule. For that reason he could not stay in that room any longer. So he turned around and hurried towards the open space outside.

'The border mutants on the West are strong. They even have a king much more powerful than themselves! What should I do with them?'
