Nobilis of War novel Chapter 1236

Darren glanced at the strange lightning that flashed across the surface of the fragment in Freda's hand. Everything about the fragment gave him the impression that it was extraordinary.

"Yes." Darren waved his hand and continued, "Just keep it. There's no need to say anything more."

"Thank you, Darren." Freda didn't persist, either. She had been tasked with fetching the divine pattern fragments, and she would be punished if she failed.

"Your name is Freda, right?"

Darren asked. Now that they had tidied up, the group could afford to rest for a short while.

"Yes."

"Why are you in the Tussle Region?" Darren asked.

"Well, our Starry Sword Sect has branches in every region, including the Tussle Region," Freda explained with a shrug.

"Oh, I see." Darren nodded thoughtfully. He glanced at Freda as he asked, "Can I join your branch before I officially become a member of the Starry Sword Sect?"

"Of course! My father is the branch leader. He will be thrilled to learn of the arrival of a nominal disciple of Lord Starry Sword. Shall I take you to him?" Freda flashed him a brilliant grin.

"Well, then, please lead the way," Darren said as he cupped his hands.

"Follow me."

They traveled for five days and five nights. Finally, they reached the mountain where the Starry Sword Sect's branch was located.

"Forgive my curiosity, but might I ask why you didn't go to the Starry Sword Region? Why did you come to the Tussle Region?"

Freda blushed as she questioned. She couldn't suppress her curiosity any longer. She wasn't suspicious of Darren's identity as she knew that no one could play tricks with the Starry Tower.

"It's a long story. Essentially, I came here to escape my pursuers.

How far is the Ninth Precipitous Mountain from the branch?" Darren was straightforward.

"Oh, it's not far. We are actually right at the edge of the Ninth Precipitous Mountain. It takes about a day to reach it. But, you can't go there as it is overflowing with bandits. You can't afford to provoke them," Freda warned.

"I did intend to hide in the Ninth Precipitous Mountain. But now that I am about to join your branch, I don't have to," Darren smiled warmly as he replied.

"What trouble did you make? Who is your enemy? Why do they chase you?" Freda faced Darren as she voiced all the questions that were unsettling her.

"The Xiling Clan wants to kill me."

"Are they powerful?"

"Yes. It is said that one of their clan members is a master at the low-level Celestial God Realm," Darren shook his head and explained.

"Ha-ha, you don't have to worry. No warrior at the low-level Celestial God Realm can defeat my father. Let's go. I'll introduce you to him now."

A brilliant smile lit up Freda's face as she led Darren and the others up to the mountain and through the entrance to the Starry Sword Sect's branch.

"Miss Freda You."

"Hello, Miss Freda You."

Along the way, people who came across Freda greeted her respectfully.

"Darren, I will arrange for some accommodation for your friends to rest. I'm sorry, but I can only take you to see my father," Freda said as she smiled apologetically.

"That's all right. Just follow the rules." Darren knew that outsiders were generally not allowed to enter sects.

He followed Freda to a waterfall. In front sprawled a vast pool filled with lotus leaves.
