Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1062

The witcher ancestor motioned for Darren to sit, and said, "What do you want to know?"

"Sir, who brought the one hundred thousand senior holy warriors to the River of Forgetfulness?" Darren asked.

After a moment of silence, the witcher ancestor questioned, "Why do you ask this?"

"Because I know that there is an extremely powerful cultivator hiding in the River of Forgetfulness. He once survived the thunder punishment of the Heavenly Repression. He used the River of Forgetfulness to draw the thunder punishment to ancient times.

Although I have never heard of such a cultivator in any legend or story, I know that he is real. Not long ago, he helped me to block the thunder punishment when I underwent a Heavenly Repression. So, I believe that the hundred thousand ancient senior holy warriors are connected to him somehow."

The witcher ancestor shuddered when he heard Darren's explanation.

"You've met him before?"

"Yes. But his body was hidden in yellow mist, and I couldn't see his face clearly."

"It's good that you didn't see him." Confusion coursed through Darren at the witcher ancestor's remark.

"What do you mean?" Darren asked as he glanced at the witcher ancestor.

"You don't have to know, because you are not supposed to know."

"Why can't I know? Please tell me. Who is he?" Darren beseeched.

"This is not the time to tell you." The witcher ancestor stood and turned his back to Darren. His loose black robe fluttered even though there was no breeze. Finally, after a brief silence, he spoke. "If there is nothing else, you can leave now."

"What?"

Darren didn't expect that the witcher ancestor would ask him to leave after only a few questions.

"Sir, if it makes you uncomfortable, then I won't ask about him.

Can you tell me more about the immortal? Where is she?" Darren hurriedly changed the topic.

The witcher ancestor's black robe settled as he took a deep breath. "She has gone into hiding."

"What?" Such astonishment coursed through Darren that he jumped to his feet. Why would the immortal hide? Did she encounter a strong enemy?

"Is it because she met that person?" Darren asked. Since no one was willing to speak about the strong cultivator, and he seemed terrifying enough to unsettle the witcher ancestor, Darren assumed that the strong cultivator could be the reason the immortal was hiding.

The witcher ancestor's brief nod confirmed Darren's suspicions.

Darren's heart thumped wildly in his chest. That mysterious warrior had scared the immortal. How terrifying was he?

When Darren could feel anger emanating from the witcher ancestor, he changed the topic. "Sir, I have heard that there is a treasure in the River of Forgetfulness. Do you know about it?"

"Do you want it?" As the witcher ancestor turned to face Darren, green flames danced in his eyes.

"Well, that depends. If it can help me improve my strength, I would like it, yes. Now that five body parts of the first fiend ancestor have escaped, it won't take long before he regains his strength. By then, the human race will be in grave danger. I must become stronger," Darren explained.

"I know." The witcher ancestor's reply was so casual that Darren was mystified further. He gazed at the witcher ancestor expectantly. Finally, the witcher ancestor sighed and explained, "I released the remaining Witcher Power to protect the forbidden areas when I sensed that the Inner Fiend had broken through one of the forbidden areas."

Realization coursed through Darren, and his expression relaxed. The witcher ancestor was responsible for releasing the Witcher Power that guarded the forbidden areas and the places where the human race lived.

A smile danced on Darren's lips as he wondered why he hadn't reached this conclusion earlier. After all, who else in the world could have such powerful Witcher Power besides the witcher ancestor?

"Sir, why don't you suppress the first fiend ancestor again?" Darren questioned. Now that a few of his queries were being answered, he hoped that the witcher ancestor wouldn't evade his questions.

"It's not that easy. If I could do it, I wouldn't have waited for so long. Besides, the biggest threat to the human race isn't the first fiend ancestor. I've told you this before," the witcher ancestor stated.

Darren's brow shot up when he remembered that the witcher ancestor had earlier disclosed that the biggest threat to the Lothlann Continent was Darren himself!

The witcher ancestor's warning plus what the avatar had told him were pieces in a puzzle that had for long plagued Darren. While he seemed to grasp a key point, his understanding was still vague. It was almost as if the answers he sought were shrouded in mist, which made it impossible for him to see through. This left Darren more upset than before.
