Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1067

Suddenly, blazing lights lit up the walls of the huge cave underground. The space that Chu Clan had carved out was ten times larger than the Chu Clan's house in the city.

There were now more than a hundred of their elders gathered in the area.

"It's good to see you back."

"Welcome back, my child."

"Darren, welcome back."

Every one of them seemed happy to see Darren again.

"Oh, Uncle Reed, why did you move to the Barren Wasteland? Did something happen?" Darren asked after their greetings.

"There is nobody in the whole of Doriath who dares threaten the Chu Clan. You left us with a lot of resources, so that we can cultivate our young talents. In fact, there are those who are at the supreme stage of the Wonder Realm among the younger generation!"

"Is that so? Why did you move here, then?" Darren sounded skeptical by his uncle's response.

"Alas. We know that you work for the human race, and that you will have many enemies. We hide in this mountain in case one of your enemies come to us one day and take us as hostages. We don't want to be a burden to you when that time comes, so we made ourselves difficult to locate."

Darren burst into laughter.

"Uncle Reed, you worry too much. There are law enforcers from the Sacred Palace who guard the ordinary land. No one would dare do anything wrong. And anyway, my enemies are all powerful. In fact, they are as strong as holy emperors. They wouldn't resort to lowly moves such as that. I think it's alright for the whole clan to go back."

Looking back on it, Darren never really had the time to tell them about his enemies. It would be useless, anyway, to hide even hundreds of kilometers underground. His enemies could surely track down the entire Chu Clan if they wanted.

Nonetheless, Darren was moved by the clan's thoughtfulness of his situation.

"I think we better stay here. We're all used to it anyway. Also, it's not really a big deal. We actually find it better to live in seclusion," Reed said reassuringly.

"I see. I guess that's true." Darren smiled and moved on from the topic. "Uncle Reed, what shall we eat tonight?"

"We'll be having roast meat with various kinds of herbs. I'm sure you'll like it." Reed then turned to the rest of the clan. "Prepare the banquet! Don't forget to take out three thousand jars of good wine from the cellar. Today is a special day for we are welcoming Darren. He has come home at last!"

"Okay, I'll get the wine."

"I'm going to get the deer meat for Darren."

The whole area was bustling and buzzing with work as everyone made preparations for the banquet.

Meanwhile, Darren remained with the elders for a long time. He told them about his bizarre experiences, but he left out the gruesome parts. Nonetheless, they were all thrilled and curious by his tales.

"Hey Darren! Guess who I am."

Suddenly, a hoarse voice came from the ground.

"Grand Blood Refiner!"

Darren smiled as he recognized the voice. He didn't expect the Grand Blood Refiner to be the first to greet him.

"Hey, buddy, I'm so glad that you still remember me."

Before long, a strange looking, middle-aged man appeared in the cave. However, his strong aura was familiar to Darren.

The Grand Blood Refiner and Darren went way back. He had aided Darren in his quest to kill the Holy Lord of the Blade Holy Land.

"I see that you've recovered well."

"Well, ever since you gave me the Primitive Stone, I quickly recovered. Likewise, I've been cultivating for so many years. I'm a six-star grand warrior now!"

"Come and sit down." Darren motioned for him to sit down.

"Did you finally get your revenge?" Darren could still remember how the Grand Blood Refiner had an arch nemesis who was a three-star grand warrior. He made a promise to help the latter find justice before he went away on his own quest. But he never found the time to fulfill that promise. The incidents with the forbidden areas happened so suddenly.

"Yes, I did. I had him dismembered."

"That's good. How have you been these past years?"

The two chattered for a while, catching up with each other's lives. Soon, a few more guests started streaming in.

"Darren!"

Two young men walked into the cave and gave Darren a big hug.
