Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 1068

The feast continued, but Darren was becoming more and more restless.

A month had already passed since the Water Kylin's last appearance. Something must have happened to him. Otherwise, he would have replied to his messages.

"Everyone, excuse me for a moment. There's something I have to deal with first."

"What could be more important than drinking with us?" someone teased.

"I need to check out why the Water Kylin hasn't returned yet."

"Of course. That's a serious matter indeed. Where did the Water Kylin go after he informed us of your return?"

"You guys go ahead and drink. I'll just look for him," Darren said.

"Alright. Let us know if you need any help," Chad offered.

Darren nodded and flew out of the area.

He spread his spiritual sense as far as it could go. It enveloped the Bottom Spiritual World completely, but he still couldn't find the Water Kylin.

"Could he be out of the Bottom Spiritual World?" Darren murmured to himself.

He continued with his search until he came upon something suspicious at the Barren Wasteland. He landed on a clearing in the woods.

There were golden hair scattered all over the ground.

There was a familiar aura hanging in the air. It was the Water Kylin's.

'Something bad has happened to him.' As this thought crossed his mind, Darren frowned. The Water Kylin's strength was almost within the Emperor Realm. Who could have that much power to pose as a threat to the Water Kylin?

For a while, Darren was submerged deeply in his thoughts before he came up with a conclusion. Of course, with the Water Kylin's power, only the immortal could do such thing. But it still didn't add up the fact that there weren't any signs of struggle in here.

'She's here! She's here!'

With no other lead, Darren followed the Water Kylin's aura until he came upon a valley.

He had been here before. This was the place where he came upon the bronze coffin many years ago. At that time, there were low-level fiends roaming the area with the intent of killing any humans they encountered.

Walking up to a stone wall, he paused for a moment.

There was a cave engraved on the stone wall. It was where he had hidden himself from the fiends. They couldn't get him from there because the place had a rule power restriction on it.

'Why would the immortal come here? Why did she kidnap the Water Kylin?'

As these questions ran inside his head, he carefully observed the wall. The Water Kylin's aura went beyond this wall and through this cave.

Darren tried to enter the cave quickly.

His robes rustled behind him as he moved as fast as he could.

To his surprise, his body smashed unto the wall.

He found himself bouncing back from it.

At the mouth of the cave, bright runes flickered teasingly like stars.

'Those are powerful.'

It had never occurred to Darren how powerful the restriction of the cave was. Even now, as a half-step emperor, he was blocked by it.

'But wait. Last time, the young man in black armor almost broke through the restriction. That means the runes weren't that powerful then. Someone must have reinforced it recently.'

He finally understood that the immortal most definitely had placed another layer of restriction over the entrance of the cave. She must be in there somewhere.

However, such restrictions couldn't hold him off for long. After all, his strength was on par with a holy emperor.

With his blade and sword intents, he rushed towards the restriction.

The force of the impact resulted to an explosion.

With only three hits, it finally collapsed. Darren could finally step inside the cave.

Upon entering, he was left stunned by what he saw.

If he could recall it correctly, this cave was supposed to be narrow. But now, he could see the starry sky stretched out overhead.

It was as if he had stepped into another world.

As he flew out, a dark, cold aura wrapped itself around him, almost knocking his breath out of him.

Unleashing his spiritual sense, he tried to search for the Water Kylin's remaining aura.
